hailed the advent of the cyclone with
Joyous barka and sturted off to tackle

cyclone did business with that dog.

Iuring the excitement in congress
after the .Maine was blown up in Ha
vana harbor Representative McCIeary
of Minnesota made a speech in which
he said that the sending of the Mulne
to Cuban waters tit that time was prac
tically iin act of war and that some
such catastrophe might have been ex
pected. The speecb was not popular. Mc
CIeary was criticised everywhere.
Speaker Ileed. who was in the chair
at the time the speech was made,
spoke to Representative Tawney, also
of Minnesota, about It next day.
"Jim." said Ueed, "what's the matter
with McCIeary?"
"Nothing that ( ftnnw of." replied
Tawney.
"He reminds me," said Reed, "of the
Kansas dog that tackled a cyclone. A
family from the east moved to Kan

afternoon for the teacher who took
six of her pupils through the Museum
of Natural History, but their enthusi

( it i. the result an immense amount of work and' investigation
jcovenn;; almo-t the entire sumnic-r month... In the United States
I there are pubh. Led about 250 magazines. We have examined
; evi ry one of the.-.' magar-'n-.-s from every j.oint of view, taking in
; to account not t ;.!y their subscrijition price, but the character of
I the reacling matter, their typographical appearance, and the iinan
j ci t! stantlmg of their publishers. After the most exhaustive scru
I tiny, we have sea eted three magazines which we believe we can
ci! loieand recommend to our readers. These magazines are
jhAKK MOMHNTS, MOTHER'S MAGAZINE and DJiESSMAK
I Lv(, A F HOME. These.publicalions are Magazines and not cheap
jrnaii onkr papeis. Each of these magazines s. lis on the news
I stand fev either 5 or V cents each and have a subscription price of
wuw a yoar. r.acn one 01 me magazines is ably edited, well
illustrated, and has a separate cover printed in colors. They are
clean representative standard magazines tit to place on the library
table of any home. These magazines have been most carefully se
lected with the idea of not only getting literatury quality and ex
cellence in typographical appearance but with the idea of appeal
ing to every member of the household. The SPARE MOMENTS
magazine is in a class by itself. "Printers Ink" "It is one of the
most readable and progressive magazines in the field today."
Every issue contains something of "interest to men, women and
children. As the names indicate both the MOTHER'S MAGAZINE
and DRESSMAKING AT HOME appeal particularly to women,
and these magazines are also in a class by themselves. The maga
zines are all the equal of any dollar magazine published. We offer
these three magazines in connection with a new or renewal sub
scription to this paper on such favorable terms that we do not see
how a single reader of this paper can afford to neglect the remark
able offer we make. We want you to read every word of this ad
vertisement. Read the description below of the three magazines.
