The Sore Paw

Sure enough! Just as Mr.. Coy

the next night to "help" Benny
Badger catch Ground Squirrels.
Benny regarded Mr.. Coyote
somewhat coldly, as the two met
in the moonlight.
"How's your sore paw?" he
asked Mr.. Coyote.
Now, Mr.. Coyote had just trot-
ting up without the least sign of
lameness. But all at once he be-
gan to limp.

told Benny, as a look of pain
crossed his face.
LET me see it," Benny said.
And Mr.. Coyote promptly held
out one of his paws.
Benny Badger snorted. He
seemed quite disguised.
"This is not the same paw you
showed me last night" he cried.
MY mistake" said Mr.. Coyote
easily. And he pulled back that
paw and thrust forth another.
Benny Badger bent over it for
a moment.
''It looks all right" he grumb-
led.

narled. "It couldn't hurt me any

zach Christmas you have to select two or
- three gifts which outweigh in Importance
al the rest of your Christmas shopping
This is especially true today when the practice
of giving one worthwhile gift, rather than a
number of cheaper ones, is being so wisely
adopted. In many homes it has become pleas
ant custom to concentrate ON some gift which
the whole family can appreciate and enjoy. You
choose this gift with particular care. It has to
fulfill several requirements.
Such gift should have great intrinsic value.
It should be of handsome, even imposing ap-
pearance.
1t should contribute to the happiness of young
and old alike
1t should be fundamentally, though not ex-
clusively, useful and designed for years of
service
Finally, it should reflect the intelligence and
good taste of the giver, conveying at the same
time subtle compliment to the recipient.
You could choose no gift which possesses
these requisites in more marked degree than

Michael Faraday, of the greatest scientists
who ever lived, was one of these Faraday
started life as a book-binder's apprentice, but
while in the shop he happened to read the scien-
tfic articles in one of the early editions of the
Britannica; these articles shaped his entire future
career. There have been many similar cases.
The Encyclopaedia Britannica is primarily
useful book, but it is also Of the most interest
mig works ever published-it has been called the
book of ten thousand and one nights entertain
ment. With the Britannica at hand you never
wonder how you going to kill time; you
know that it's % volumes are a never failing
source of pleasure and recreation. If by any
chance you have realized how interesting
the Britannica is drop into our Reading Room
some day while you waiting for train-you
will be surprised how quickly the time flies once
you start reading these volumes.
You will not be urged to purchase the Britain
MICA if you interested only in consulting the
volumes placed at your disposal On the other
hand, if you SO desire, you may examine the va
rious STYLES of binding and select set for delv-
cry to any address. From the experience of our
subscribers we know that the full benefits of the
Britannica can be derived only by having a set
at the office and in your home. Only in this way
can you have the quintessence of all knowledge
always ready for your service.
Most persons are surprised to find how easily
and cheaply the Encyclopaedia Britannica can be
purchased The Britannica is as necessary in
your home the telephone, and you can buy a
set for less than the average person spends for
telephone calls every day.
Fill out the coupon in the adjoining column
and will send you by return mail complete
details as to the favorable terms upon which the

YOU want the Britannica for your own use or to

you should act at once

DOR more than $50 years utity-public ser
vice-has been the principal intention" of
The Encyclopaedia Britannica. One of the most
significant facts about the Britannica is the
steadfast devotion of each succeeding generation
of editors to this great ideal.
We have felt that it was not enough merely to
produce book that In a supreme degree should
represent the sum of all human knowledge. Our
obligation was greater than that. Our obligation
was to make this great store of knowledge easily
available to all the people. As the result Of
much consideration, have sought to meet this
responsibility in three important ways:
In the first place have published The En-
cycloPaedia Britannica in two forms Cam
bridge Issue in large type and broad margins,
and the Handy Volume Issue with smaller type
and margins) at about half the price of the orig
inal Cambridge Issue.
Again. we have arranged so that you may ex-
tend your payments over period Of year and
half to two years.
Finally, we have established for the use of the
public of the largest reading rooms in the
United States where the Britannica can be used
freely by any one without charge
Located in the very centre of New York City,
this new Reading Room occupies the entire East
Balcony of the Grand Central Termnal-the
greatest railway terminal in the world A
hundred thousand people pass through this termi-
nal every day. But the opportunity to use this
reading room is not limited to patrons of the
terminal; it is our desire that these facilities
should be freely placed at the disposal of every
one, and especially those who feel they cannot
afford to purchase the Britannica for themselves.
No one can say how many men have failed of
success because at the critical moment they could
not obtain the vital information they required.
On the other hand it is well known that many of
the world greatest men owed their first advance
ment to the fortunate chance Of finding aid and
inspiration in The Encyclopedias Britamica.
