ed to his guardian, a Mr. Kershaw, that he is married and it is necessary for him to be matrimonially embarassed to enjoy a certain income left by his aunt. Mr Kershaw unexpectedly writes that he will visit Mr. Shackleton, and the latter has but an hour or two to get a wife.

He finds this hard work, but after several ludicrous efforts makes a bargain with his house-maid, Jane, to pretend to be his helpmate. Jane and William are married, but are concealing it. William's jealously, the heart-breaks of Miss Morton, who is the fiancee of Shackleton, and the deceptions that ensue in every direction to keep old Kershaw properly fooled combine to bring about the most comical situations, and the play floats along on a stream of laughter.

WHAT EDITION SHALL I BUY?
A Complete and Satisfactory Answer Given in the Following Letters From the Most Prominent and Trusted Educators and Professional Men.
OFFICE OF
SUPT. OF CITY SCHOOLS,
KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 14, 1894.
Mr. S. A. Park. Gen. Agent, Kansas City.
Very respectfully yours. J.M.GREENWOOD.
DEAR SIR:The reasons that induce me to buy a set of "THE STODDART EDITION OF THE BRITANNICA', at this time are as follows:
3. The insertion of foot-notes giving much valuable information not found in other Editions of this work.
1. (a) The clear and distinct type in which the work is published, especially the letters and figures referring to charts, diagrams, maps, and plates. (b) The distinctness of the mathematical formulas, including signs, symbols, letters and exponents.
2. The work as a whole, so far as I have been able to discover, is free from misprints or errors in both text and foot-notes.
4. "The Index" to this edition is the most complete and perfect I have ever seen. It embodies the three excellent features of indexing direct, cross, and analytical. It is handy, convenient, and exhaustive. The work of indexing and arranging the subjects, is one of the merits of this gigantic publication.
STATE NORMAL SCHCOL. SECOND DISTRICT. WARRENSBURG Mo., Nov, 3,'92.
For several years past the Stoddart Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica has been in use in this institution. We consider it the Standard Edition of this important work in this country, and far superior to the cheap reprints now being sold.
GEO. L. OSBORNE, Pres.
From Prof. ROBERT ELLIS THOMPSON, S. T. D.
Pres. Boys' Central High School, Phila.
I regard the Ninth Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica as the best work of its class in the English language, and the American Reprint of it as the best edition for the reasons which follow:
1. The American Reprint gives the full text, illustrations, plates, and maps of the large British edition without omissions or abbreviations.
2. It corrects a great number of palpable errors and mis-statements which are to be found in the British edition, generally by a foot-note giving the correct statement.
3. It appends to each of the twenty-four volumes supplementary articles, which supply their deficiencies on the American side, and these are generally the signed work of expert authorities.
4. It is the only edition which supplies an adequate Index to the whole work. The twenty-fifth volume, prepared by Dr. D.O. Kellogg and his co-workers, is the finest piece of work of the kind I have ever seen.
Special terms to Students, Teachers and Ministers for month of December.
