Rhymed Review The Fighting Blade (By Benlah Marie Dix. Henry Holt & Company) Karl-Ludwig, Herr von Kerstenbroock, “ Through-thruster " named by those that knew him, Was one who when he undertook To slay a fellow, always stew him He let no Bafiled Villains go Without a good excuse for living [ like my Heroes better so— Most err in being too forgiving A boy in looks, though man in years, In England's Day of Armageddon He came to help the Cavalicrs Who fought to keep King Charles's head on. But Fate contrived to intervene: For, all to shicld from foul suspicion A loyal maiden called Thomsine, " He had to join the Opposition. And so as Captain of a troop Of stern Cromwellian rough-riders, We next behold him, quick to swoop On all malignant other-siders. But Cromwell found our German friend Endowed with talents worth applying, And let him brave a Dreadful End Within a loyal keep a-spying. They trapped him there; pronounced his doom ; Their wicked him; He blundered into Thomsine’s room; Beneath her feather-bed she hid him. tortures ’most undid GILBERT “7~ Vest-Pocket Silk Hat Entirely —wider brim and fuller crown, $2.25—worth more. to match above hats, four-in-hands and bows, so cents.)

EVANS & CO. wor'd, SECURED OR FEE RETURNED Different MODEL 40 $2400 Measure Motor Car Efficiency by this Standard } (1)—Has this car every essential for power, endurance, safety, ease and low upkeep? (2)—Does it offer a ‘‘completeness”’ that includes every added convenience of proven merit? (3)—Do present owners regard it highly enough to make a second purchase? When you make this searching inquiry into the Inter-State, you may dismiss cars of lower and equal price and rest your comparison with cars of higher cost. Year after year thinking men and women have chosen the Inter-State because they de- manded a distinctive difference in their cars. At the outset the beauty and exquisite grace ot the Inter-State body design has signalized the most of refinement and comfort. They have compared most favorably the long stroke enbloc motor and multiple disc, cork in- sert clutch with similar parts of costlier cars. They have encountered in the Inter-State an electrical starter that actually cranked the car every time without trouble or annoyance. In many instances they have turned their se- lection to the Inter-State because other cars lacked this one vital convenience for their comfort. They were confronted with the Inter-State equipment, including electric lights, automatic tire pump, top, windshield, speedometer, gaso- line gauge, 36-inch wheels, demountable rims, ete. And they stood aghast at a price of $2,400— less than half what they considered sufficient to produce such a standard of efficiency. The purchase of the Inter-State by these peo- jf ple who can afford more proves that they can not buy better—and we believe beyond a doubt they have chosen carefully and wisely. You should send for the Inter-State litera- ture to-day that you, too, may consider this car of distinctive difference, THE INTER-STATE AUTOMOBILE CO., 101 First Street, MUNCIE, IND.
