LIBERAL COMMISSION TO AGENTS SPECIAL CLUBBIN & RATES TO PAPERS
The above Prizes are offered IN ADDITION TO OUR REGULAR COMMISSIONS OF 30 PER CENT. TO AGENTS, AND IN ADDITION TO
TaE SPECIAL CLUB dl NG RATES OFFERED TO COUNTRY PAPERS
Thus it will be seen that those who compete for the prizes and fail to get them, will nevertheless be earning good money byway of the Commis
sions and Clubbing rates.
Suppose an Agent sends in xoo names by the first of January, for instance. Such Agent earns >3O in any event. On Magazine subscribers,
he would earn >45,00. If it should happen that the ioo subscriptions won either of the prizes, the Agent would, of course, earn that much more than
the >3O, or the >45.00.
In this contest Two Magazine Subscribers Will be Counted as Equal to Three Subscriptions to THE WEEKLY JEFFERSONIAN.
Bear in mind this difference, the same being founded on the fact that the price of
WATSON’S JEFFERSONIAN MAGAZINE is 51.50 Per Year.
While That Os WATSON’S WEEKLY is 31.00.
Write us a card stating your intention to compete for the prize. We will mail you Subscription Blanks and Sampje Copies upon application.
Every true hearted reformer who believes in the principles of Jeffersonian democracy ought to feel kindly to the Watson publications, and
a hundred thousand subscribers can be obtained for each if those who that Mr. Watton is right will go to work on this line.

HOW SHE GOT HIM.
Some one was urging a newly mar
ried woman to tell how in the world
she ever managed to get a proposal
out of the man she married, as he
was known to be about the shyest
man in ten states where women were
concerned. Finally, she made what
she said was a confession: “He
didn’t propose to me,” she said, “I
proposed to him. It was this way.
You know he was a very close friend of
my husband. One day, after I had
been a widow about a year, he call
ed on me. I was greatly surprised,
because I knew he was more afraid
of women than of the wrath to come.
He stammered a bit, and finally told
me he had been trying to call ever
since the death of my husband, be
cause he wanted to ask a favor.
“I used to think a great deal of
John,” he said. “I want you to give
me some little momento of him—-
something he left —that I may cher
ish as a keepsake.”
“It was my chance. ‘How will I
do!’ I asked scarcely above a whis
per, but he heard it Os course he
couldn’t help himself; he had to take
me.”
This provoked another story of a
proposal. A wealthy fanner, a wid
ower, wanted a housekeeper. He had
no thought of marrying again, but
he knew that a neighbor, a widow,
had made a success of a small chicken
farm, and he thought she was just
WATSON’S WEEKLY JEFFERSONIAN.
the right woman to keep house for
him. He called on her. She met him
at the door. He stated his business
bluntly: “I want to hire you for
my housekeeper, madame,” he said.
With her arms akimbo, and looking
him squarely in the face, she made
answer: “I’ll keep no man’s house
except as his wife. Besides that,
where I go, my chickens go.” This
pleased the blunt old farmer. “I
love you, madame,” he quickly re
joined. “I also love your chickens.
Will you be my wife?”
“I will,” was the reply. Forthwith
the farmer loaded the chickens on
his wagon, and drove to the preach
er’s house. The chickens waited
while the ceremony was performed,
and then the whole outfit went on to
the farmer’s home. —Woman’s Na

JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS.
How strange that every Republi
can corporation daily in the north
west should rejoice in the nomina
tion of John Sharp Williams to be
the Democratic United States Sena
tor from Mississippi! John Sharpe
defeated Governor Vardaman, a man
for the people, by the small margin
of 648 votes. John Sharp Williams
was the Democratic corporation lead
er of the Lower House, hence the
lovely affinity between all such Re
publican organs as the Kansas City
Star and Journal, and John Sharp.
