JUST READ V\ZHAT THEY ARE 



Offer No. 1 — Saraautha at Saratoga. 



100,000 Sold at $2.50 per copy. 



This is indeed a feast of fun, by the only peer of Mark Twain's 

 humor— JosiAH Allen's Wife (Marietta Holley.) 



Read tliis Extract I'roiu the Book : 



And right here, let me insert this one word uf wisdom for the speci.tl com- 

 fort of my sect, and yet it is one that may well be laid to heart by the more op- 

 posite one. If your pardner gets restless and oneasv and middlin' cross, as pard- 

 ners will be anon or even oftener— start them off o'n a tower. A tower will in y 

 cases out of 10 lift 'em out of their oneasiness, their restlessness and their 

 crossness. 



Why I have known a short tower to Slab City orLoontown act like a charm 

 on my pardner. wlien crossness wuz in his mean and snappishness wuz present 

 with him. I have known him to set off with the mean of a lion and come back 

 with the liniment of a lamb. 



And jest the prospect of a tower ahead is a great help to a woman in rulin' 

 and keepm' a pardner straight. Somehow jest the thought of a tower sort of 

 lifts him up in mind, and liappifvs him, and makes him easier to quell, and pard- 

 ners must be quelled at times, else there would be no livin' with 'era.
