LAWSON, of Boston, offers $5,000 to the person who can demonstrate that Wall Street may not be manipulated as he outlines so thrillingly in “Friday, the Thirteenth.” ‘The following announcements may be expected: Mr. Henry James offers $2,500 to any person who can demonstrate that his sen- tences can be written as easily wrong-end- to as they can be written sidewise.

In the cause of pure food, pure sport and pure literature, we would like to arrange an international word-making match between this redoubtable Englishman and the bean- eating author of “Friday, the Thirteenth.” ‘Thrall to the ticker, with the clash of “cop- pers” resounding in his ears, Mr. Thomas W. Lawson, savior of the savings of his countrymen, wrote his system-smashing novel within three weeks. Let Mr. Miles make good his boast. Perhaps Mr. Howells would hold the watch, with the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt as referee. REAT BEAR SPRING WATER purity has made it famous.” ORBIN EFFICIENCY You get efficiency when you buy the “full-jeweled” Corbin.
