Tho only money to be mado from it is tho monoy pald for its stock by tho fools who have been lured into buying it through read- ing the graphic advertisements printed in the newspapers, If you seo it in THE Buy, it’s 80. ou Was Right. ‘Tur Ren is in receipt of the fol- lowing letter from a discriminating reader: ‘Yo tuk Eprror or Tne Box :—I have a bet with « friend who says that “ you was" is ungrammatical and it should be “you were.” I insisted on leaving it to Tuk Bux a journal which has {ts own ins | eeaees ideas about the English language.
