WONDERFUL SONG BOOK FOR READERS OF THIS PAPER. The Presentation of “Heart Songs" a New Idea for a Newspaper—The Work Has SOO Large Pages. The remarkable offering by the I Democrat of the now famous song book, entitled “Heart Songs,” announcement of which appears today elsewhere* in this paper, should be a source of sincere congratulation to both publisher and reader. Already more than a hundred thousand copies of tills unique voltune have gone into the home of the young People of the United States at the publisher’s retail price of two dollars and a half per volume. The merits of the book are such that the sales are stoadily on the increase and in the ordinary course of business the book should attain an enormous circulation. Upon our first approaching the publishers with a proposition to allow us in effect to make a gift of it to our readers, we met with a cold recention. But subsequently a plan was developed whereby a syndicate of the largest and most miluontial newspapers in the country entered into an agreement with the makers of the book, so that several hundred thousand copies might be alloted to the readers of the respective papers for praotially the bare ’ cost ot production. From day to day, beginning with this issue, this paper will publish new features connected wyth “Heart Songs,” until all its ibarvelous attractions are set forth to our readers. It is of universal interest and there is no member of the family but will find something of fascination and genuine interest betweep its covers. As we state elsewhere, we believe the distribution of this book will accomplish a work of education of the very highest character, and our offering may fairly be called a testimonial to the thousands of men and women who read our columns'* daily. The work has five hundred large pages, and comprises four hundred selections, words and music. It is to be had by this paper's readers on presentation of one coupon clipped frbrn this paper, and the bare cost •f distribution.
