have a daily newspaper that will
leave nothing to be desired by the
LATEST man in the world. It will not
only megaphone its news to its sub
scribers, thus doing away with the
labor Of reading: but will lull them to
sleep in the evening with the strains
Of grand opera or the score Of the
newest musical comedy in the down.

entered into with the Bell Telephone,
and recently promoters Of the con-
Germ, who up to this time had been
working In New York arrived in the
city to make preparations for INSTALL

ton Is to be given some time during
this month which, it is claimed, will
convince ALL the skeptics that the

According to Mr.. de 'Doory; Chicago
is going to rise up and give the Tele-
phone Herald such a welcome as it
has not extended to any other enter
prise that ever came into the city. He
sees In the Telephone Herald not only
boon to lazy men and busy men,
too, for that matter, and blessing
to housewives, but a household con-
venience that children will cry for
and invalids praise from their sick
beds. y
For cents a day." said Mr.. de
Doory, I'VE will put into the homes
of Chicagoans an arrangement that
will not only serve them from 8" in
the morning until II at night with all
the news of the world for the day
just as soon as it comes into the city
by wire, but we will give them a con-
cert for luncheon, together with a re-
sumo of the days news and all the
gossip of the city. In the evening we
will entertain the whole family with
concert-not monograph concert.

At night we will put them to sleep

Why, within a year everybody in Chi

Will have the Telephone Herald in
the house. No one can live without
it.
But that isn't all. That is the bare

her know what the latest bargains
are in the big department stores. t':is
I'VE have also special program. for
children, and I think that this will
fill q long felt want with couples who
are trying to- bring up families of
young children in flats so crowded
that the youngsters drive their par

something at which they can amuse
themselves. This program will con-
