PEARSON'S POLITICAL WORKS

- AstHl VII NUHNu
Listen here, folks! I've got some
thing to tell you'd suppose most of you
know thatI am a sort of one-hoss poet.
Yes, | have been writing verse for
more, than Is years. A good deal of
it has been printed in papers here
and yonder, and about IL years ago
| got out one little book of my poems.
I only made 500, copies Of that book,
and it has long been out Of print. In
the meantime | have been grinding
out a good many new poems that have
never been published in a book, and
l now have quite a large collection.
They + mostly short poems on a
great variety of subjects. Some of
them r droll and humorous, but
the majority of them are. seriously
handled and polished with all the po-
etical skill J. possess. Really I have
put, the best part Of my life into
these poems, and as I am now al
years old it is.sgetting time they were
published in book form. The, entire
collection will make a book aof about
800 pages. I have sset my head-to
get my Complete Poetical Works
published thisT.years if there is any
chance of it. I might. waste the whole
year trying to get it accepted by some
of the big publishing houses and
then fail, SO the. surest plan is to pub
fish it myself andto sell it to you folks
who read The Fool-Kller. You all
know me, and you seemato like my
prose stuff mighty well, and the
chances r you would enjoy reading
my p~oetical efforts. - -..zs
But it is. going to take a whole LOT
of money to buy the paper for this
book, and / haven't got the money
so you folks will have to help me
get it some way. In the first place, ]
want to find out how many of yor
would like to have the book. 1t canno,
be sold for less than $1.50, and i,
may possibly have to be $500. / ear
tell better about that when | SEE
how much it costs to make it.. Paper
is one thing that. hasn't come doWI
any, and it isn't likely to come down
any time soon. I would like to- prin'
three or four thousand copies of tl'
book if I can get advance orders
enough to Justify it..
However, I am not asking you t,
send any money now. I just want yo'
to~send me your PLEDGE that yo'
will buy and. pay for axcopy of tn
book when. I get ready to makesit
Just write on an ordinary posta
card something like this and mail j
to me:

Dear Sir
I hereby pledge myself to buy an
pay for one copy of your "Complet
.Poetical Works" and will send til
money Whenever you notify me tina
you are ready for. it.
