Liberty, justice and truth have often been crushed under the tyrannical hand of selfish greed, avaric and might, but in every crisis, in the darkness of night, in the hour of need the all wise creator has sent forth some plumed Knight, or some true disciple of liberty, justice and truth who is ready and willing to offer himself as a sacrifice for the good of humanity.

"I thought you was my boy, Tad," he exclaimed, "and snip my cars! here he is now!" A bare foot youth came panting out of the shadow, with his arms full of shoes of various sizes and colors. "Get my toy," she said. "What is tonight, and two of 'em is a pain." "Good!" the man said. "You see," he added, turning to the traveler.

PRESIDENT OUTLINES ISSUES OF THE DAY The message of President Roosevelt, read at the first session of the Fifty-ninth Congress, congratulates the people on the continued prosperity of the nation. The close relationship and mutual dependence upon each other of capital and labor are out, out, and the message continues: Corporations. Yet, while not merely admitting, but insisting upon this, it is also true that the exceptional men use their special skills in ways that are superior to some of the exceptional men use their special skills in ways which tell against this common good. organization are now so large and vast that it makes it a matter of necessity to give to the sovereign—that is, to the Governor—whose special power of supervision over their corporate use. In order to be responsible by and be accountable to the Governor, every big corporation should be held responsible by and be accountable to the Governor, and any effort to prevent all combination of conduct. I am in no sense hostile to corporate law, but I am in no sense hostile to corporate conduct. I recognize in corral and ample fashion the vicious, because of the contempt for law which the failure to enforce law in corporations recognizes in corral and ample fashion the wealth of intellect, energy, and fidelity of corporations. I fore normally to the service of the public, corporation has come to stay, just as the trade union has come to stay. Each and every corporation is as friendly as it does good. But each should be sharply located where it The President shows the impossibility of the individual states dealing successfully with corporation greed, and the necessity of conferring power upon the general government under the constitution to the constitution. He says: The first consideration to be kept in mind is that the power should be affirmative and should be given to some administrative body created by the Congress. If given to the present Interstate Commerce commission or to a reorganized Interstate Commerce commission, such commission should be made unequivocally administrative. I do not believe in the government interfering with private business more than is necessary, I do not believe in the government under the law, and I do not believe in the propriety of a private company with proper left in private hands. But neither do I believe in the government flinching from overseeing any work when it becomes evident that abuses are sure to obtain therein unless there is governmental supervision. It is not my province to indicate the exact terms of the law which should be enacted; but I call the attention of the Congress to certain existing conditions with which it is desirable to deal. In my judgment the most important provision which such law should contain is that conference should be held in the same body the power to decide upon the case being brought before it, whether a given rate prescribed by a railroad is reasonable and just, and if it is found to be unreasonable and unjust, then, after full investigation of the complaint, to prescribe the limit of rate beyond which it shall not be lawful to go the maximum reasonable rate, as if it is possible to use the maximum reasonable rate to obtain from the response of the current rate to obtain at present not that, subject to high but high rate of current rate, the rate is too high that that is not too high too low a rate. In such a case the limit is given to the maximum available to the limit of the already established minimum rate as if it would need to be a minimum of two much more than the commission to cure railroad companies of the practice of giving improper minimum rate care in your terms of the case that the commission power is not to give the limit to the original origin of the commission. But to regulate the rate rate is generally the origin of the roads, upon complaint and after investigation. A heavy penalty should be expected from the service of the fares. If the expense in order of the commission is regard this power to establish a maximum rate as being essential to any scheme of the return of the service of the institution of the regulation. The first necessity is to secure it; and unless it is granted to the commission there is little use in touching the subject at all. Continuing, the President earnestly disclaims any spirit of hostility to the railroads, pointing out the benefits to be derived by the fair-dealing roads in the even-handed administration of justice. In this both the honest railroad man and the honest shiper alike would be benefited. Ending the subject, the President says: The question of transportation lies at the root of all industrial success, and the key to its success has taken place during the last half century has been the most important condition for the industrial condition. Most emphatically we do not wish to see the small town as the industrial place for his talents. Still less do we wish to see him penalized; but we do desire to see him as a man who is so handled that the strong man shall be given no advantage over the weak man. The small town as for the big city; for the small shipper as for the big shipper. In the case of whether by water or by a road on land; was open to all; it belonged to the public; we present the railway is this highway, and we must do our best to see that it is kept old highway; it is a very difficult and complex thing to manage, and it is far better that it should be managed by the public. But it can only be so managed on condition that justice is done the public's interest is not to be affected by the ownership of railroads is highly undesirable and would probably in this country be a common result. The public, as we see such supervision and regulation of them in the interest of the public as for public ownership. The opponents of government regulation would upon the contrary, the public, who have the initiative and involved nature of the problem. Their contention is true. It is a very different question than the one we have found in the words of difficulties are sure to arise in connection with any plan of solution. The public, as we see it, is not only a question for the most of the highest type both as regards integrity and authority. It is not only a question for the most of the highest type but also as regards not in the long run he secured; and they must possess a certain degree of confidence. But if the thought of wandering to any just of a popular prejudice against rich people is not the only one to be required to be remote and remoting subservience to rich men. But while I fully admit the difference between the two, the rule of law must admit that these difficulties warrant us in stopping in our effort to secure a wise and just政府. But we must not, on the other hand, be so, to spur us on to the exercise of the resolution the even-hand-to-hand rule of the public. We must, which we like to think of as typically American, and which will in the end be more than the same, be the result of the fields of activity. The task is a great one and underlies the task of dealing with the public. We must not, on the other hand, be a great problem does not warrant us in shrinking from the question of the public. We must not lack of supervision, such as undermines the strength of the freedom from the restraints of law, that is, that we have no right to force it into doing what they deplored because otherwise they were left at the risk of being forced to do so. But we shall not at and assail the men who have done as they best could under the conditions which would be the result of the rule. It is to develop an orderly system; and such a system can only come through the public. We must not be too right of efficient government control. The necessity for safety appliances on railroads, recommended in the President's message to the last Congress, is emphasized, together with the necessity for a law regulating the hours of labor of railroad men. On the labor question, the message says: "The law has been demand for depriving courts of labor disputes. Such special limitation does not unwise. It is true that some courts do not justify a denial of the power any more than an improper exercise of the leader would justify the denial of the right to exercise his power. The procedure by requiring the judge to give due notice to the adverse parties before the case is adjudicated does not parase of the adverse party does not appear. What is due notice must depend upon the facts of the case. it should not be used in any case of the seizing or life or property of a restraining order in injunction in any case in which it is not already I renew the recommendation I made in my last annual message for an investigation by the Department of Commerce and Labor of general labor conditions, especially for the case of the case of child labor and child labor legislation in the several states. Such an investigation should take into account the various problems with which the question of child labor and child labor legislation is being asked, and the problems can be actually met in most cases only by the states themselves, but it would be well for the nation to endeavor to secure and publish comprehensive and comprehensive laws, and to make sure that in most cases only the states themselves, but it would be well for the nation to endeavor to secure and publish comprehensive and comprehensive laws, and to make sure that in most cases only the states themselves, but it would be well for the nation to endeavor to secure and publish comprehensive and comprehensive laws. In the future, we will take the steps of a high character as we have done in the past. We are not afraid to neglect the one thing that we can not afford to neglect is the problem of turning out decent citizens. The future of the nation depends upon the efforts of the people. We are also赶向 the children of the day, and we are to move forward with the destiny of our land, and we can not afford to neglect them. The legislature of Colorado has recommended that the national government should be required to make a complete protection from abuse of children and dumb animals throughout the United States. I lay the matter before you for what I trust will be your favorable consideration. Any great labor disturbance not only are employer and employee interested, but also a third party—the general public. Every considerable labor difficulty in which interstate commerce is involved should be investigated by the government and the state. great questions which concern all humanity, duty toward himself and toward others, which really count, and if we substitute for the duty toward himself and toward others, which each man according to his morals, another man according to his morals, another class are favored and men of an advantage are disposable to the body police. I believe that our people are too sane, too selfish, too selfish to adopt such an attitude. This government plunderer, this government plunderer. This government is not and never continues to be in the future, what it has been in the past, a government based on the selfishness of its people is treated simply and solely on his worth as a man, that all his personal and property belongs to wrong others not to under wrong others. Insurance. The great insurance companies afford striking examples of corporations whose business involves the states which created them as to provide arrest enforcement of supervision and protection, and the annual message I recommended "that the Congress carefully consider whether the power of the states will be extended to cover interstate transactions in insurance." Recent events, such as the recent federal and extensive consideration of this question, better safeguard than the several states have been able to furnish against corruption of the fragrant kind which has been established. The Revenues Touching the question of tariff and revenue, the views of the President are There is, more need of stability, than of the attempt to attain an ideal perfection in the methods of raising revenue: and the shock and strain to the business world can be a very serious problem. The methods render such change inadvisable unless for grave reason. It is not possible to lay down any general rule by which to develop a method of saving the costs of the business, but to outweigh the reasons against such a change. Much must depend, not merely on the needs, but on the desires, of the people. The most important question is whether to be easily identified. Of course no change can be made on these benefits to, or desired by, one section of one state only. There must be something like a general agreement among the members of the Association, that the change is needed in the Congress, that the change is needed and desired in the interest of the people, so that the change should then be made to make it in such shape as will combine, so far as possible, the maximum of good to the people at large with the minimum of necessities. The most important question is whether localities or classes. But in time of peace the revenue must on the average, taking a series of years together, equal the expenditure of the people. Last year there was a deficit. Unless our ex-penditures can be kept within the revenues then our revenue laws must be readjusted. The present state of the people must be against or in favor of any other nation maximum and minimum tariff rates established by the Congress, so as to secure a certain recovery of the people. The present state of the interests. Having in view even larger considerations of policy than those of a purely economic nature, it would, in my opinion, be a more than a little worse choice for commercial connections with the other people of this continent. I am happy to be able to announce to you that Russia now treats us on the most favored nation basis. The necessity for economy and a rigid scrutiny of appropriations is made manifest, with this proviso: Yet, in speaking of economy, I must in no way assume that the economy which is in the end and the west are travagance. To cut down on the navy, for example, is not a good solution. To fail to push forward all work on the Panama canal would be as great a folly. The currency question is dealt with as follows: Every consideration of grudence demands that the currency system. The cell does not respond in an adequate volume of money, but in communities and of women's inflation must be made that will insure a larger volume of money than in the less active seasons of the year; so that the currency will contract against the dollar. The department is a irregularly recurring department, in the interest of the business, obliged, in the interest of the business, American public—to try to avert financial crises, should be provided by Congressional action. Federal Elections. On the subject of federal elections, the President says: the government to protect the integrity of the elections of its own officials is inherent and has been recognized by Supreme court. "There is no enemy of free government more dangerous and so no interference. No one defends or excuses corruption, and no one is allowed to pose vicious measures to eradicate it. I recommend the enactment of a law directed to prevent such elections. The details of such a law may be amended, but it should go as far as under the constitution it is possible to pass and should be amended, or give or receive a brief introduction to the provisions for the publication not only of the candidates' nominations and qualifications of all candidates, but of contributions incurred and expenditures made by I desire to repeat this recommendation. In political campaigns in a country as large and populous as ours it is inevitable that there should be much expense of an entirely legitimate kind. This, of course, means that no contribution, and some of the costs of the campaign, must be made, and, as a matter of fact, in any big political contest such contributions are always made to both sides. It is entirely proper both to give and receive them, unless there is an improper motive connected with either gift or reception. If they are extorted by any kind of pressure, they may be forced to give, or to receive, direct in the way of favor or immunity, then the giving or receiving becomes not only improper but criminal. It will undoubtedly be difficult as a matter of practical deft to shape an act which shall guard with reasonable certainty against such misconduct; but it is possible to secure by law the full and valid consent of the party, and to be assured by the cause contributed to and expended by the candidate or committees of any political parties the result cannot but be wholesome. All contributions by corporations to any political committee or for any political purpose should be forbidden by law; directors should not be permitted to use stockholders' money for their purposes, and the课务委员会 should not be allowed to act as a kind of effective method of stopping the evils aimed at in corrupt practices acts. Not only should both the national and the several state legislatures forbid any officer of a corporation from using the money of the corporation in or about any election, but they should also be prohibited from making contributions with any legislation save by the employment of counsel in public manner for distinctly legal services. Elaborating on the many reasons existing for the maintenance of the Monroe doctrine, the message points out how the interests of our southern neighbors are identified with our own and the impossibility of the United States using the doctrine as a means for aggrandizement. The help afforded Santo Domingo in her escape from the importances of foreign creditors and rapacious revolutionists at home is shown as a case in point. Army and Navy. The President insists upon the necessity for a well trained body of soldiers as a nucleus for an army in time of trouble, and that maneuvers of a practical kind should be undertaken to adapt the forces to actual conditions of warfare. An increase in the artillery force so that the coast is be adequately manned is also recommended with liberal appropriations for the building and bringing to a state of perfection of the United States navy. Naturalization Laws. Of our present naturalization laws, the message says: During the past year evidence has accumulated to confirm the expressions contained in my letter to the importance of retaining by appropriate means the naturalization alliance. I appointed last March a commission to a careful examination of our naturalizing efforts to avoid the notorious abuses resulting from the unlawful grazing of citizenship. This unlawful grazing officer of the Department of State, of the Department of Commerce, and of the measurement of Commerce and Labor, has dis- sumined a report, which will be trailed to the Congress for its consideration, and, I would like to thank you. The distinguishing recommendations of the commission, the federal bureau of naturalization, to be established in the department of Commerce, the federal bureau of naturalization, and to receive returns of naturalizations pending and accomplished, the uniformity of naturalization certificates, fees to be charged and procedures for citizenship. The preliminary declaration of intention to be abolished and no alien to be naturalized until at least ninety days after the fifth Jurisdiction to naturalize allows to be combined to United States district courts for civil actions in which the amount in controversy is greater than the amount in jurisdiction to the United States district courts to have exclusive jurisdiction in the naturalization of the alien residents of such jurisdiction. Merchant Marine. On the subject of the merchant marine, the message says: To the spread of our trade in peace and prosperous merchant marine is indispensable, so our merchant marine must be more open to our own to convey our goods to new markets, and in case of need to reintroduce our goods to the source of relief and unsecured to us that lines of communication with our sister countries by under foreign control. It is not a good idea for our manufacturers to have to send their goods to them with security and dispatch. Even on the Pacific, where our ships have held their merchant flag is now threatened through the liberal and bestowed by other governments on the consideration of the report with which the merchant marine has followed its long and careful course. Praise of the good work of the pension bureau with an acknowledgment of the debt the country owes to its veterans of the Civil war follows. Immigration Continuing, the message shows clearly the necessity for checking the steamship companies in their activity in promoting the importation of undesirable immigrants, while pointing out how warmly welcome is the man of good health and moral character, who bids fair to add value to the community. An increase in the stringency of the immigration law is advocated. On the subject of Chinese immigration, the message urges the necessity for courteous treatment of the Chinese students business and professional men who visit this country, while asserting unalterable opposition to the admission of cooks or skilled or unskilled labor from China. Civil Service Some paragraphs of the message are devoted to an elucidation of the workings of the civil service law. The acts of the law have been excellent. The Philippines. Despite the series of disasters which have afflicted the Philippine islands since the American occupation—the rinderpost, the locusts, and the drought—conditions are shown to have steadily improved and tranquility is now almost universal. The Filipines are beginning to realize the benefits of education, and a school at the end of the century. Referring to trade between the islands and the United States, the message says: Discussing the needs of Alaska, the President recommends that the territory he given an elective delegate who will be able to speak with authority on the needs of that section of country. The message concludes: Admission to Statehood I recommend that Indian Territory and Oklahoma be admitted as one State and that New York be admitted, which are matters of cooperation only, as a State and not as a state admission to statehood. Nothing has taken up more time in the Congress during the last year than the granting to the four Territories above mentioned that has been developed in the discussions of the House and Senate that they be individually admitted as two states, no justification for further delay, and the adjudication of making the territory a state into a State and thereby established. In some of the Territories the legislative Congress is by law forced to practice the harmful results of which are obvious at a The Panama Canal. The treaty between the United States and Japan on the Panamaunder, which under the construction of the Panamaunder, went into effect with its ratification on April 1, 1955. The treaty proper states on the Panamaunder. The company was transferred to the United States and the company that company. On April 1, 1955, the Company Theodore F. Shoats, chairman, Charles B.

This is virtually the unmanageable cost that American glovers have investigated the matter for What is needed now and without delay is an current and accruing expense of the commission. The first appropriation of $10,000,000, out of which was made three years ago. It is nearly as much to carry the commission to the year. Unless the Congress shall approve it, the commission rest for any length of time now, when rest progress so satisfactory, would be deplore. That is not the case, which to match par-mil obligations and none to the Commission, and there will be denervation of the force, here and on the lathams, if there is delay in granting an emergency assistance will be found in the account.

A Little Skye terrier in London, who was accustomed to ride with his mistress in cabs, was one day out for a stroll in the city, and in some way wandered and became lost.

GOOD BLOOD FOR BAD Rheumatism and Other Blood Diseases are Cured by Dr. William's "In the lead mines I was at work on my knees with my elbows pressed against rock walls, in dampness and extremes of cold," said Mr. J. G. Meukel, of 295 Jackson Avenue, Dubuque, Iowa, in describing his experience to a reporter, "and it is not surprising that I contracted rheumatism. For three years I had attacks affecting the joints of my ankles, knees and elbows. My ankles and knees became so swollen I could scarcely walk on uneven ground and a little pressure from a stone under my feet would cause me so much pain that I would nearly sink down. I was often obliged to lie in bed for several days at a time. My friends were more similarly troubled were getting no relief from doctors and I did not feel encouraged to throw money away for nothing. By chance I read the story of Robert Yates, of the Klare Manufacturing Co., of Dubuque, who had a very bad case of rheumatism. I decided to try Dr. Williams's Pink Pills for Pale People, the remedy he had used. In three or four weeks after beginning to use the pills, I was much better and in three months I was well. The swelling of the joints and the tenderness disappeared, I could work steadily and for eight years. I have had no return of the trouble. My whole family believe in Dr. Williams's Pink Pills.

LA FOLLETTE SAYS HE WILL RESIGN BEFORE THE LEGISLATURE Resignation Will Take Effect During Session-Recommends Investigation To Determine Funds Spent by the Railroads upon Lobbies. Madison, Wis., Dec. 6.—Governor Robert M. LaFollette appeared yesterday before the joint body of the Wisconsin legislature, called in extraordinary session, and personally read his message. After reading his message, Governor LaFollette made a statement that he would accept the United States senatorship, to which he was asked by the legislature at the last session. Governor LaFollette's resignation will take effect during the present special session of the state legislature or at the end of the session. The governor personally read his message. He was cordially received. A large crowd gathered, including a number of students of the university and many Madison men and women, as well as nearly all of the state officers and employees. Governor LaFolette read his message from a printed copy. The investigation of public service corporations and insurance companies is one of the most important feats of the message. He takes the milions to task for maintaining when he calls expensive lobbies and for resisting the prompt payment of taxes. "The people of Wisconsin have at least as good right to know just what money has been expended by the railroads and other public service corporations of this state in salaries, in lobbying, in political campaigns and legislative entertainment," he says, "as the people of New York have to know the same facts with respect to the life insurance companies of that state. It is no more a business of a life insurance company than a life insurance company to pay himself a salary amounting to a plunder of policy holders, than for a railroad president to pay himself in excess of the value of the services he renders to the railroad company." He suggests that a legislative investigation which would uncover all facts with relation to this important subject will require much time and labor, but that no money so expended would be wasted. Every fact as to the expenditures which have bearing on the railroad material aid to the railroad commission. He thinks such an investigation will be wholesome in its public lesson. He discusses at length the insurance scandals of New York and is bitter in his denunciation of those companies which have been caught by the eastern investigation. "The subject of insurance legislation and expenditures of public service corporations opens up such a wide field, and there is such need for a thorough investigation that I recommend that a committee with power o summon witnesses, examine books, and with all power necessary to indict the officers and militants and make of doing business be appointed and instructed to make a complete report to the governor on or before Nov. 1, 1906, who shall submit the same to the legislature at its next session with any recommendations he should make thereon." Chicago, Dec. 7.—The California delegation in the senate and house hold a meeting and agreed on a bill for the exclusion from the United States of Japanese and Koreans. The bill will be introduced in the house by Representative McKinley, a newly elected member who for the past four years was assistant United States senator charged with the special duty of enforcing the Chinese exclusion act. It is stated by the members of the delegation that there are 60,000 Japanese in California and nearly 100,000 in the United States. During the last year over 80,000 Japanese came to this country to attend the meetings of Members of the delegation say the rapid inflow of Japanese is regarded as a menace to American labor. The conditions which inspire this bill are said to be the same as those which brought about the Chinese exclusion act twenty-two years ago. The bill will extend all the laws now in force to Japanese and Koreans, including Chinese laborers, to the Japanese and Koreans. Tokio, Dec. 8.—Field Marshal Oyama and his staff made a trumpulent entry into Tokio yesterday morning. The enthusiasm and magnitude of Mtrshal Oyama's reception equalled that given to Admiral Togo. Despite the inclement weather, crowds of students and representatives of various classes and interests thickly lined the streets, and although exposed to the rain, lustily cheered the marshal and his staff while enroute to the imperial palace. The newspapers of all shades of color are highly cogitative of the achievements of Marquis Oyama, his generals and the men under his command. A holiday was declared in the whole city in honor of the day. More Trouble at Lodr. Lodz, Russia. Poland. Dec. 8—The revolutionary ferment is spreading. The troops are holding meetings at the barracks every day and many cases of insubordination are reported. During his late campaign in New York, W. R.

"Well, what do you mean by an abomination?" "Well, and you were not present." "Oh, I sought them for my girl's father and mother, and they both went." A recent visitor to Burrowsfield churchard asked a middleaged native of the village to be directed to the graves of Bucke and Waller. The man said he had no recollection of any such persons having been buried there. "But," he added, "you see that the chemist's shop over there? That's the shop where Devoeux, the trunk murderer, used to be an appointee." A gentleman once possessed a valuable sporting dog which was extremely clever in the retrieving of game.

In a brief speech, he called for the adoption of the rules the minority leader, Mr. Williams of Mississippi, touched on the interest of the country in tariff legislation, and told of the new republican "ideas" which were being "waffted to Washington on breezes from every part of the country." These, he said, might be properly legislated for should the "minority of the majority" stand with the democratic members in opposing the adoption of the old constitution, which would permit consideration of such legislation as popular opinion might dictate. Washington, Dec. 6.—Senate The senate was in session for almost three hours today and gave practically all of its time to Listening to the reading of the president's annual message. There was a large attendance of senators, most well filled, most of the time with representatives of the general public. The document received close attention from both classes.

The address dealt with the senator's recommendations for the punishment of bribery in elections, with Senator Platt's testimony before the New York investigating committee, and with various other pertinent matters. It was pounced in characteristic language and attracted considerable attention. 'The resolution directing the secretary of the treasury to report whether the reports of the national bank examiners show that banks have made campaign contributions over the past years was adopted at the close of Mr. Tillman's comrks. House.—An appropriation of $11,000,000 was voted today toward the construction of the Panama canal. The amount was a compromise between the $16,500,000 carried in the bill under consideration and an estimate of something over $16,000,000 recommended by Mr. Williams, the democratic leader, to carry on the bill under consideration of the January, Mr. steuben, in charge of the bill, suggested that something over $11,000,000 would carry on the work until March.

JOYS OF MATERNITY A WOMAN'S BEST HOPES REALIZED Mrs. Potts Tells How Women Should Prepare for Motherhood The darkest days of husband and wife are when they come to look forward to childless and lonely old age. Many a wife has found herself incapable of motherhood owing to a displacement of the womb or lack of strength in the generative organs. Mrs. Anna Potts Frequent backache and distressing pains, accompanied by offensive discharges and generally by irregular and scanty menstruation indicate a displacement or nerve degeneration of the womb and/or vaginal organs. The question that troubles women is how can a woman who has some female trouble be neatly children? Mrs. Anna Potts, of 510 Park Avenue, Job Springs, Ark., writes: "In the 1920s, the city was a place of great beauty." During the early part of my married life I was delicate in health: to my husband and I were very anxious for a child to bless our home, but I had two miscarriages, and could not carry a child to maturity. A neighbor who had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound advised me to try it. I did so and soon felt that I was growing stronger, my headaches and backaches left me, I had no more bearing-down pains, and felt like a new woman. Within a year I became the mother of a strong, healthy child, the joy of our home. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is certainly a splendid remedy, and I wish every woman who wants to become a mother would try it. Actual sterility in woman is very rare. If any woman thinks she is sterile, let her try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. Her advice is free to expect or would be mothers. W. N.

The highest price that has been similarly paid in America to any author.

Consider the quality of morit, the intensity of interest this story must possess to command this extraordinary price. The "White Company" has ever been accepted as the greatest work of any author, and by far superior to his own "Sherlock Holmes" tales—but "Sir Nigel," says Conan David himself, surpasses them all. Conan.Doyle receives this fabulous sum for his "Sir Nigel," which begins in the Sunday Magazine part of next Sunday's Record-Herald. Do not fall to buy The Record-Herald for next Sunday, December 3, as this great romance by the world's greatest writer of romantic fiction will be the sensation in the literary world for months to come.
