“I think mammas are very funny 
people,” soliloquized Billie, “and it’s 
very hard on little hoys. First, they 
spank you ’cos you answer them back, 
and then they spank you ’cos you 
don’t.”— Harper's Bazar.

with trying to commit suicide.” Prison¬

driven to it by a woman.” Magistrate :

Besides a cash j -e of $5 will be given every agent who sends 20 yearly 
subscriptions < more, and who does not win one of the seven prizes. 
In addition to o, Is, the SI hill will go out every night to the agent who sends the 
largest club f^b’.hat day ; and in all cases the agent keeps his regular commission 
when sendb^ the names. Two six-months, or four three-months subscriptions

Besides the prizes, the agents had their commission, and drew many of the 
$1 daily prizes. The terms are better for November, because every one is sure of a 
$5 prize and S3 commission for 20 names, besides the chance for the daily prizes 
and one of the larger cash prizes. As an inducement to new subscribers, and to 
help agents, we send the paper the rest of this year, free, to yearly subscribers 
for 1896, and full dollar hack to any one who is dissatisfied. 
Now, if you want some holiday money, or a new suit of clothes, send for
