Watch His Smoke, "Say,” said one of our young society men as he cocked his cinderellas on our desk and pushed a cloud ol cigarette smoke in our face, "I just came over to tell you that society’ in this town is being killed by so many of the fellows having solid girls. If you haven't got a girl for keeps its next to impossible to be in the swim. It’d just wilt your collar to see how some of these ‘solid’ fellows watch their girls w hen they see them talking to one of ns ducks who don't happen to be in the procession.

For more than twenty-five years it has been a regular visitor to every portion of the Union, and it is well known at every one of the sixty thousand odd postoffices of the country. It is made especially for family reading. It gives the entire news of the world each week, in such condensed form as will save reading scores of pages of daily i papers to get less information. lie publican in politics, Temperance in principle, always on the side of justice and right, it is just the paper for the rising generation, and a great educator for the whole family. Serial stories, wit and humor, short stories, household department,question bureau, farm department, camp fire, Sunday school and young folks are a few of the many other prominent features of this great paper. A specimen copy will be mailed free to any address on application, and the publishers invite | any person to send in a long list of ad- . dresses to whom they will mail sam- | pie copies. They would be glad to । mail a couple of hundred specimens to readers of this county, The Weekly I Blade is a very large paper, and the price is only one dollar a year.
