438 “LIFE: A Startling Secret Revealed Wonderful and Silent Change Now Going On in Our National Affcirs is enabled to furnish its readers with some remarkable news. A sceret of vast impor- tance has just been revealed. We cannot give all the particulars now, but hope to furnish details later The main fact, so far as can be at present learned, is that our form of government is being changed from a republic to a monarchy. Naturally no paper has published anything about the affair, as they are all owned by the new form of government, One of the most prominent editors said to our rep- resentative yesterday : “This is not a thing which the people of this country need be after all, is pur. cidental. Besides, the change is not Financial interests are ina Government, Ev will be taken care of. so radical a3 it seems on its face. few strong hands and all will be well.”” interested. erybody THE MALY FACT It is understood that President Taft sent in his resignation yesterday.

To give it freely and ostentatiously is the mark of an ill-ordered mind Advice may be given for two reasons: To gratify our own vanity or to belittle the other fellow; it may be given even to help him, but this sort of advice is so rare that it hardly counts. With many people the giving of advice has become a neces- sity. It concerns intimately their happiness. When they are unable to give it they are utterly miserable. They ought to be made to pay for this privilege.

For advice on the building of a house, Two dollars a minute For advice connected with the purchase of an automobile, For advising one with regard to one’s health, a cold, dyspepsia, ete. From ten dollars u Thus, when we receive advice from our friends, we nec not feel that there is no benefit in it; but its value will be ex pressed in hard cash. Five dollars a minute. comicbooks.com
