We are pleased to announce that at great expense we have acquired a splen- did staff of muck-rakers, and that we are now prepared to do light and heavy exposing at a moment's notice. We have carefully con- sidered the question whether to undertake exposures on our own hook, or to furnish a medium for those who desire to be exposed or desire to expose others.

Having the pick of the field of genius of this order, we have assembled a peculiarly well-balanced staff, ranging in talent from the sunny, optimistic gentleman on the left to the lady on the right, whose poise, unruffled calm and dignified bearing have been a continuing solace and comfort to all Amer- icans, and especially to the women of our country. Coming between these antipodean representatives, we have the well-known though eccentric gen- tleman who appears to be enjoying the tooth- ache, flanked by that other energetic and splendid citizen whose watchword is “There is Hope." Each member of our staff was chosen because of his prominence for many years in the public eye, and if we are asked for our credentials we need only point to this galaxy of talent.
