NEVER pay money to strangers for goods to be delivered at some future time. The editor of this paper has the photograph of a traveling swindler, who signs himself Geo. W. Clay, and who has been operating extensively in this State. He is sandy-complexioned, thick-set and has a long, heavy mustache. The photo­ graph was furnished by a sheriff in Colo­ rado, who secured Clay's conviction some years ago. This man claims to represent any line of goods that will enable him to collect money in advance. He never signs the correct firm name of any com­ pany. He collects subscriptions to peri­ odicals at greatly reduced prices, but hi8 specialty just now seems to be appoint­ ing exclusive agencies for the sale of Demorest's paper patterns, and the Dem- orest Publishing Co. of New York are daily in receipt of letters, from business houses who have paid money to Mr. Clay for advertising matter, signs, a stock of patterns and "Mahogany pattern-case." The Demorest's never employ traveling salesmen for their pattern business, or to solicit subscriptions to their magazine, Euerene Field's Last Story. In 1884 Eugene Field wrote a story which he called "The Werewolf." When it was finished he {aid it aside and a year afterward entirely rewrote it. In 1886 he again took it up and revised it, and during the nine years between that time and his death in November last, he re­ wrote it eight times. His last revision pleased him and he decided to print it. But death came too suddenly, and the story was found, unpublished, among his effects. Mrs. Field, concluding to have the story appear, gave it to the editor of tho Ladies' Home Journal, in which mag­ azine all of Mr. Field's work, outside of his newspaper articles, was presented to the public. The story will be printed in the next issue of the Journal, strikingly illustrated by Howard Pyle. PIANO G-lTEN AWAY.
