Of American Literature. The very finest
works of our living writer's have been
gathered together at enormous expense
into this wonderful de luxe edition OF
eighteen volumes. bound In cloth, $40 a
set in half morocco, $50 a set, and full
morocco, fl39 a set.
Each volume contains four meZzo-
tint photographers on India paper. In
addition to this there are over 1000 IL
lustratlons. The edition Is printed on
good. dead-white paper, SO there Is no
glare to dazzle the eye. Each volume
is bound with silk head and foot bands.
Just look at some OF the beautiful
illustrations in this pros" Here he picked
up n neatly bound book containing sam
pie leaves from each Of the volume and
say. 1t certainly did look good
"A set of books like this is an advan-
tage to every cultured home" he con-
tinued. "and something which every
member of the family can pick up and
read with enjoyment. and they are espe.
cially adapted for young people.
THE cost Is trifing when paid on our
easy payment plan of IS down and s5 a
month. It's really a shame to sell II fol
SO little money, but we believe in spread
ing good literature among the people
who are now so hungry for It. In offer
ing this book, young man, you will per
form a noble service and one which re
munerates you handsomely"
am too tired to write any more to
night. so I'll record the balance Of m,
interview tomorrow.

she has grabbed. and she has cast
aside for the future the friendship OF
a potent neighbor. The papers see her
more and more an outcast and feel that
the thousands Of square miles added

That Germany has dreams of new
