If you will buy your corsets at Hera' Bazar I warrant you will improve your shape and your dresses will look moro ltke your own."

Mark Twain Serious.

Mark Twain, in a current periodical, •v uired wff^uess, off says: "If I

hand and^itho^p|^|ton with higher

minds, what is the bottom cause of the

amazing material and' Jlellectual ad

vancement of the last fifty years,

should guess that it was the modern

names of history present in our minds

we are not privileged to doubt that for

the last twenty or thirty centurieB every

conspicuous civilization in the world

did produce intellects pble to invent and

create the things which make our day a

wonder perhaps we may "be justified in

inferring, then, that the reason they did

not do it was that, the public reverence

for old ideas and hostility to new ones,

always stood in their way and was a

wall they could not break down nor

climb over."

You know us, and kno#- tfiafc'

would not dare offer a cheap imitation,

pretending that it was a faithful and

unabridged reproduction of the great

and last Britannica.

There are only a few of you who yet

hold out against this phenomenal offer.

Scores who are just as good judges of

books as any in the place, have begun

and will secure the full work.

How can such a revolution in prices

be accomplished? It is the old story of

the sewing machine vs. the needle, the

Goodyear welt sewer vs. the cobbler, the

twine binder vs. the sickle, the Hun-

garian roller mill vs. the French buhr

stones.

Are they inferior to what went be1 fore? They are the new ideas with value

in them. Here Is a neic-idea book.

While the hope of profit actuates our

words, yet really you are doing your-

selves a great harm by not securing the

prize.

The exclusive privilege for this place

is held by

W.ill you refuse to "bplieve that anew
