C 'V.-. vf Uj The jjm The Hoard Wf And the las. He Loved Mary Jane. One day last week while all were busy in the office, and the in cessant click, click, of the types in the stick in the hands of the printers told that the print ers were busy, an old gentleman with a broad brim hat on, long beard and hair, slightly gray, en tered the office and was asked to have a chair. After seating him self comfortably and taking a aizing-up-glunce of the surround* ings, he said : “He you the tombstone man?” “Yes, sir, we sell tombstones.” “And the editor?” “Yes, sir.” “Anil the iron fence man?” “Yus, sir, we sell iron fences and wire fences.” “You sell pyanos, too, don't you?” “Yes, sir.” “And a man could buy organa or Jew’s harps from you, too, couldn’t he?” “Certainly.” “’Bout them tombstones—you have big, high ones, don’t you?” “Yes, sir.” “And they got little angel, o* ’em aint they?” “Some of them have, and they are pretty, too,” we answered. “Got scripture verses on ’em ’bout gone to glory, an never come back some more, aint they?” “Yes, anything you want,” we answered thinking about a big or der.” “Wall, now, I loved Mary Jane mighty good, and if I wus to sub scribe fur your paper you’d throw in one ’o them big, high tomb stones, wouldn’t you?” “No sir!” “Wall, by gosh, wlmt’llyou do?” “Sell the tombstone and throw in a year’s subscription to the paper.” “How much?” “Two hundred and fifty dollar* for one three feet high, eighteen inches square, and an angel five feet high.” “llovv much, did you say?” “Two-fifty.” “That’s for a big one, aint it?” “Yes, sir,” “Wall, by gosh, 1 loved Mary Jane, mightily. She done the fair thing by me. Plowed, hoed, pull ed fodder, picked cotton, and so on, end 1 want to do the fair thing by her now, she’s dead. She helped me make all I’ve got. They got gone to glory an’ never come back some more, aint they?” “Yes, sir.” “Wall, I want that on it, it, su,re. Cause I hope she is gone to glory, an’ won’t come back.” “l’ut anything on it you want,” we answered. “Two-fifty you said?” “Yes, sir, that's right.” “Could you sell a little one?” “Yes, sir.” “For four dollars?” “No, indeed!” “ You couldn’t?” “No sir.” “Wall, by gosh, good bye then. 1 loved Mary June mightily, and 1 llope she’s gone to glory and won’t come back no more, but when l offer a small fortune for a tomb stone and an angel on it and the man won’t take it he can go to Mazes!"

Agents, Tei New and Original Sonia Which Can be Had Free. What will the great metropolitan papers do next? This is the ques tion someone asks nearly every day. But there is one which leads all others, It has gained the sobriquet of “America’s Greatest News paper” by just such remarkable pieces of enterprise as the one which has just now attracted the atten tion of the press all over the coun ty- , r , , Last week the New ’’t ork Sunday World announced that it would give away an album of new and original music, consisting of ten of the up-to-dsffe class of songs that are now so popular, such as songs of sentiment, “coon” songs, “cake walks,” etc. The.se ten songs the Sunday World proposes to dis tribute one each week, with every copy of the Sunday World. When it is considered that the average price of new music, written and composed by popular authors, is from 30 to 45 cents, the unparallel ed enterprise of The World in giving the song away with a big Sunday newspaper, for which only five cents is charged, is apparent. The World requests that we pub lish the following announcement: A Music Album free. From Sept. 3 to Nov. 5, the Sunday World w'ill issue weekly a song in sheet music form, with handsome Colored cover. The entire set will be mailed, postage paid, for 50c. Remittances received after Sept. 3 will get the back numbers and each new number issued, Besides the song, The World will also send its colored Art Portfolio, which is a marvel of journalism; its Sunday Magiizine, which equals the month ly periodicals, and its Comic Weekly, which excels every comic weakly ji) (he United States except two, and in )(s gorpic scope equals these two 10-cent publications.
