to havo the Impression thnt tha whole
town knew about his absenco from the

promptly Informed whether they wanted to
know or not.
Sweetso started to shake hands with
very one he met as soon na ho struck the
neighborhood of KTankford avenua and
Clearfield stVeet. When n man failed to
extend his hand or meet McOoldrlek half
way, he took the hesitating hand In his own
nnd gave It tha pump-handle movement.
In tha courao of wholesale greetings
Sweetso encountered two men talking on a
corner I la reached for the hand of one,
but before ho touched It the hand turned
Into a fist and landed between Sweetso's

TheS
iiipreme Christmas Gift
for you and your family. An opportunity
that can last but a very short time
WHAT more 'prized or princely present could bo conceived ? It lasts
a lifetime: it is of daily value to all the family: it is a sensible gift
that will always pay dividends in pleasure and mental development; it is
tho biggest gift for tho smallest amount only $1 brings it to your homo.
It is the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
The New Encyclopaedia Britannica is indis
pensable to you because of the very complexity
of tho civilization of which you arc a member.
It is obvious that no man nowadays can carry
in his head all that he needs to know of tho vast
realm of knowledge that lies outside his own
experience. No ordinary books will help him,
for they are mere fragments.
But modern ingenuity has come to his assist
ance. A great book has been devised and per
fected, tho function of which is Utility. Every
man can now increaso tho sum total of his
knowledge by resortingtothisuseful and never
failing storehouse of universal information.
No matter what your situation in life whether
you are a millionaire or a "watfe-earncr, a professional
man or a clerk, in a store, tho head of a bank or a
bank clerk, tho head of a household, a retail mer
chant, or a young person just starting a career Tho
Now Encyclopaedia Britannica can help you to solve
your problems, to add to your efficiency , and to mako
tho most out of yourself. To form tho acauaintanco
of Tho Now Encyclopaedia Britannica is to rub shoulders with tho genius of tho
modern "world. It is now; it is up-to-date: it is trustworthy; itiscoroprehensivo;
it is easy to handle ; it is easy Jo consult; it is easy to buy.

much moro usable, therefore much moro
valuable; that cannot now bo obtained to
