GET UP A CLUB, MISTER.

Well, boys, I've tongue-lashed ev-
cry thing else I can think of just now,
and I'm going to change ends with
nv mouth and talk good to you fell
lows who have been helping me
along. I Can spin the yarns and man
ufacture the sassy talk, but can't
get it circulated without your help.
i must depend on my friends t show
the paper to their friends and get up
clubs.
"A great many editors offer prem
iums to c~lub-raisers, but / have put
the price of The Fool-Killer so low
that I can't give premiums. The
premium business is a rather "Cheap
john sort of game, anyway, and I
prefer to put the paper down as low
as possible and let it stand on it's
own merits. I have been going it that
way for several months and it has
been a success, land | see no reason
for making a change.
My regular club rate gives every
body a reduction of ten cents (giving
them the paper bit fifteen cents EACH
if as many as FIVE will club together.
Now, friends, just for the fun of
the thing, show this copy to a dozen
or. so of your friends and ask them to
subscribe. Get i'll a crowd of fellows
who like something funny and read
them a few pieces from The Fool
Killer, and I'll bet at least half of
them will say, Il want that paper for
a year." Every blessed one of my
present subscribers a get up a club
of five or more # they will just half
try.
Please do me this little favor,
friends. It won't cost you a cent, and
it will mean a whole heap to me. I
thank you in advance, and shall ex-
pect to hear from every one of you
with a great long list of subscribers.

PRAYERS, PENNIES AND PONIES.

This is the time of year for pro-
tracted meetings. And if a sinner
goes, the good old amen fellows will
~buttonho1e him two at astime, yank
him up to the altar and shed four
gallons of salty tears down his back
while they Wrestle with God for the
salvation of the poor sinners soul.
And if the same poor sinner goes to
the same good brethren the next
week and asks for the loan of
five dollars to buy his poor widow
and orphans some bread and
breaches, the good amen fellows
would kick him out at the back door
and set the dog or him before you
could say Jack Robinson. And that's
the reason the poor sinners amt got
any more confidence in the sam
singing soldiers of the cross, and I
can't much blame them.
You see it don't cost anything to
make a devil of a fuss over some
body's soul, but when you side up
to the solemn saints with a PROPOSE
ton that calls for a little cash-then
the fat is in the fire and no mistake.
Say, you old grouchy g%oodikins,
amt 0 ashamed of yourselves? I
declare it must make the devil laugh
till his belly-band breaks every time
he hears you cayorting around in
that amen corner. Blame your old
%dried-up souls, get out and live your
religion, or else get down on your
pray-joints and confess that you
amt got any.

HOWDY! THIS IS ME.

The above picture is a beaut-no
going back on that. Since the m
vention of the great art of printing,
very few papers have had the honor
of handing around to their readers
such a bundle OF beauty as l here
present. And yet, pretty AS this
picture is, it conveys only the faint
est PARKWAY shadow of a hint of
the surprising loneliness and beauty
of the gent who pumps his powerful
personality through the pages of
this paper. It fills me with 27
bushels of regret to print this pic
ture, because it is bound to make
you other men feel bad to know that
you amt as purity as l am. But you
have requested me to stick my nog-
gin up SO you could get a peep at
it-and SO here sticks the doggon
thing.

world of pills, paregoric and print

that I have been writing ever since.
In January, 1910, the clamor fol
the intellectual juice of my bubbline
brain had become SO great that I had
to start The Fool-Killer to supply
the demand.
The FOol-Killer has been a great
success, having now a wide circula.

and still growing like a guinea pig
fed on buttermilk.

Let Us Talk 1t
Over

Well, dear sinner friends, this is
The Fool-Killer.
How does it set on your stomach?
If you like it, you can get more at
headquarters.
The Fool-Killer is not even a forty
'leyenth cousin to any other paper on
earth.
It stands in a class by itself, and
its field is as broad as the English
language.
This paper wears no bell, muzzle,
collar nor halter.
You a put that down to start with.
l am the fellow who works at the
pump-handle on this pungent period
ical of thrilling thought. ! print only
what I write; I write only what I
think; and / think what I doggon
please.
| own this entire establishment,
and Rockefeller isn't rich enough to

Does that. sound strange?
Well. bless your soul, I am a great
deal richer than old John.
I never travelled any to speak of,
but / have read a great deal, and have
thunk some.
/ have also writ a few books which
/ know are great, because they don't
sell worth a cent.
Great books never do.
And then / started The Fool-Killer
just to quiet my nerves and keep the
old press from getting rusty.
From the seclusion of these wooded
hills there will go forth each month
a bundle of literary dynamite thai
will shake the rotten foundations oil
society and ause the Church of Mann
mo to at least turn over in it's sleep
The Fool-Killer will be a monthly
mustard-plaster for the blood-boils 81
Society, Church and State.
1t will be sailed with wit, peppered
with humor and seasoned with sar.
casm.
Every line will cut like a whip, ani
every word will raise a blister.
