WHY WE DO THIS
A wide-awake newspaper spends a great deal
of time and money each year collecting and renew
ing their subscriptions. Experience has taught the
newspaper world that the use of Special Prizes
* and the employment of experts to do this work is
a wise investment from a business standpoint.
' We simply contract with an expert who knows
the management of these things as the engineer
knows his engine,
We have reserved a special space in our office
in which to conduct the work; competent mana
gers are conducting this contest who are absolute
ly disinterested and non-partisan, and who are
personally handling it in every detail.
The “FREE PRESS” is mainly a Carroll
County paper. It goes to other counties too, but
not nearly so much as other papers do. We do
not try to get much circulation outside ot Carroll
County, we are making ours a home paper.
We would impress upon our patrons the fact
that the “ADVERTISER,” who pays three times
as much toward the expense of newspapers as the
reader pays, needs large circulation to bring cus
tomers. So we have concluded to give these in
ducements from time to time for the benefits they
bring our advertisers as much as for anything else.
Therefore, we do not simply give away these
Valuable Prizes—but the ones who-win them need
make no outplay but simply ask their friends to
subscribe for the “Free Press” and use the votes
in this paper for their benefits.

AN UNFINISHED STORY.
Spoiled Bocauoe the Man Who Told [t
Had a Poor Memory.
Mi. Snillin was at a dinner party
given a few days ago at Judge Pit
man’s. While the company were at
the table Snillin said in a loud
voice:
“By the way, did you read that
good thing of Adder’s the other
day about the woman over in Pen-
cader? It was one of the most
amusing things that ever came un
der my observation. The woman’s
name, you sec, was Emma. Well,
6ir, there were two young fellows
paying attention to her, and after
she’d accepted one of them the oth
er also proposed to her, and as she
felt certain that the first one wasn't
in earnest she accepted the second
one too. So a few days Inter both
of ’em called at the same time, both
claimed her hand, and both insisted
on marrying her at once. Then of
course she found herself face to
face with a decidedly unpleasant—
unpleasant—er—er—less see what’s
the word I want? Unpleasant—er
—or— Blamed if 1 haven’t forgot
ten that word.”
“Predicament,” suggested Judge
Pitman.
“No, that’s not it. What’s the
name of that thing with two horns?
Unploasnnt—er—er—hang it! It’s
gone clear out of my mind.”
“A cow,” hinted Miss Gridlcy.
“No, not n cow.”
“Maybe it’s a buffalo,” remarked
Dr. Potts.
“No, no kind of an animal. Some
thing else with two horns. Mighty
queer I enn’t recall it.”
“Perhaps it’s a brass band,” ob
served Butterwick.
“Or a man who’s had a couple of
drinks,” suggested Peter Lamb.
“Of course not.”
“You don’t mean a fire compa
ny ?” asked Mrs. Pitman. »
“N-no. That’s the durndest,
queerest thing I ever heard of that
1 can’t remember that word,” said
Mr. Snillin, getting warm and be
ginning to feel miserable.
“Well, give us the rest of the
storv without it,” said the judge.
“That’s the mischief of it,” said
Mr. Snillin. “The whole joke turns
on that infernal word.”
“Two horns, did you say?” asked
Dr. Potts. “Maybe it is a catfish.”
“Or a snail,” remarked the judge.
“N-no—none of those.”
“Is it an elephant or a walrus?”
asked Mrs. Potts.
“I guess I’ll have to give it up,”
said Mr. Snillin, wiping the perspi
ration from his brow.
“Well, that’s the sickest old story
I ever ran across,” remarked But-
terwiek to the judge. Then every
body smiled, and Mr. Snillin ex
cused himself upon the ground that
he had to meet a man, and ho with
drew.
The mystery is yet unsolved. I
never concocted any such story as
that, and I have a faint impression
that Sniffin was trying to build one

’Answers.
Old and Blind and Stupid.
No one could say a sharp or bit
ter thing with more absolute cool
ness than Lord Westbury. After
retiring from the office of lord
chancellor he took a very active part
in tho house of lords sitting as a
court of appeal, where his colleagues
were Lord Chelmsford and Lord Co-
lonsav. Lord St. Leonards, whe
was senior to tljein all, never at
tended. One day Lord Westbury
chanced to meet him and said tc
him, “My dear St. Leonards, why
don’t you come down and give u*
your valuable assistance in tho hous«
of lords?”
“Ah,” said Lord St. Leonards, “1
should he of no use! I am old and
blind and stupid.”
“My dear lord,” said Westbury,
“that does not signify in the least
I am old, Chelmsford is blind, and
Colonsay is stupid; yet we make the
very best court of appeal which has
ever sat in that assembly.”-—Lon
