JA(0B JUSTEN.! . ~' fr This magnificent illustrated volupae is published with the consent and aid of the United States Government, and this fact alone is evidence of its start­ ling merit and of the great care that has beefi bestowed upon it. It has been said that all roads lead to Washington just as they did to aneient iiorne. Certain it is that the eyes of millions who cannot behold the marvels and glories of oar National Capital in person are constantly turned towards it. The book is a, complete panorama of the countless interests of the National Capital as seen by a famous woman who. as the wife of an influential senator, a society leader, and the close friend of every mistrei^of the White House from Lincoln to the ph^ent time, has been in close touch with tl^ inner life of Wash­ ington, and enjoyed rare privileges for studying the mighty activities of the Government, such as no other person has ever before been able to command. Many distinguished men and women have long urged Mrs. Logan to give this volume to the world. She received letters irom thousands unknown to her, expressing the hope that it would be written. Iii her preface she says: "My first introduction to life in tbe city of Washington was in 1858, General Logan being then a member of Con­ gress, and for more than thirty years I have lived there almost constantly, an interested observer of passing tvents. As the wife of a Senator, I may say that I enjoyed unusual privileges and opportunities to see and know the in­ ner Jife and activities of the Capital City. 1 have had my sihare of the favor of the powers that were, and the honor uf being included among the distin­ guished guests at both private and of­ ficial entertainment; and I have known the^ pleasure of personal acquaintance witV. prominent statesmen, cdurtly dip* lomats, and beautiful winning, and gifted women, filling wftfi grace and dignity the highest social positions that the people conld bestow. "It has been my aim to show to my readers, botfh by word and pictorial art** Jove °f a 8tron« man for H P.roud wonian- «.l.. i j .1 . - . . _ "ftilr.InvAfl" nntaricrloa Kia the wonders and the workings of the elaborate machinery of the Government in motion, by leading them through the great Departments and explaining what the army of busy men and women workers do and how they do it; to show them the works of art, the wonderful <x)llections of relics and curiosities from every part of the world, and the archi­ tectural glories and priceless treasures of the Capital; to describe and explain its giant activities.; to take them through the White Hopse from the attic to the cellar, through every forbidden room, and to portray not only its daily life, past a present, but its brilliant social and official functions as well; to tell the story of every President, and of every woman who has ever reigned in the White House; to visijt-the Treasury, the Dead Letter office, and to solv th&~mar- vels and mysteries of every government industry; in short, to present every in­ teresting phase of life and scenes in Washington." Its illustrations are a triumph of American art. It is worth the price of the book just to look at tbestf 50 mag­ nificent full-page plates, from photo­ graphs taken with government consent and aid .exclusively for this volume. They portray wonderfully interesting scenes. Tne government generously waived all "rules and regulations" in <nder that this book by a woman of Mrs. Logan 's standing and influence should be as perfect and conplete as possible One can linger a long time over these beautiful plates, and though he turns from each with regret he is pretty sure to find the next one of still more absorb­ ing interest. We do not know when 740 pages have given us more genuine pleasure. If we speak warmly of the book, it is because it richly deserves it. It is sold by agents, and all who introduce such a work ought to be cordially welcome. Put it into your homes. To own it is to prize it; to read it is to obtain a lib­ eral education. We believe that the best way to keep out poor books is by introducing good ones, and a better one than tBifi has never been brought to our notice. • f The book is pjj^lished by the old and well-known firm of A. D. Worthington & Co., Hartford, CopA .^-whose imprint is sufficient guarjwmie of the Excellence of this first-class volume. They want more agents for its An agency for a book so popular as this offers to men and women an unusually good oppor­ tunity to do well. \ Bill" Joyce" untangles his tenderfoot "pardner's" love affair with Homeric directness, but with a fine sympathy, and he tells " the dramatically funny story of the adventure with the crisp humor and quaiptness of -expression- that only his kind can command.

A severe cold or attack of la grippe is like a fire, the sooner you combat, it the better are your chances to overpower it. But few mothers in this age are willing to do the necessary work required to give a good old fashioned reliable treat­ ment such as would be administered by their grandmothers, backed by Bos- chee's German Syrup, which was al­ ways used in connection with the home treatment of colds and is still in greater household favor than any known reme­ dy. but even without the application of the old fashioned aids German Syr­ up will cure a severe cold in quick time. It will cure colds in children or grown- people. It relieves the congested or­ gans, allays the irritation, and effect­ ively stops |he cough. Any child will take it. It is invaluable in a household of children. Trial size "bottles, 25c; regular size, 75c. For sale by all drug­ gists. - Parduere. Old "Bill Joyce," who tells the story in "Pardners, "by Rex E. Beach; in the May McClure's, is a rare survival of the old frontier days that Bret Harte and Mark Twain have made their own. There are no storytellers to match these men of the old West. They were the creators of a humor of the broad spaces and of the open that belongs to no oth­ er place and time.
