CHAPTER XI
6/43

The advent of a book like Jarby's Encyclopedia of Knowledge and Compendium of Literature, Science and Art, containing, as it does, selections from the world's best literature, hints and helps for each and every day in the year, recipes for the kitchen, the dying words of all the world's great men, with their lives, et cetery, ought to be noticed.

I was wondering if you would have space to run in a little card about that book." T.J.came forward and brushed a heap of exchanges from the only chair in the office, and motioned to it with his hand.

Eliph' laid his book on the editor's desk, and picked up a copy of last week's TIMES.

He ran his eye over the columns, and stopped at the advertisement of Skinner, the butcher.
"I was thinking of something about twice the size of this," he suggested.
T.J.smiled and mentioned his rate for the space.

It was not much, and Eliph' nodded.
"Every week, until forbid," he said, "and I guess I'd better subscribe.
I am going to live right her in Kilo right along now, and the man that don't take his home paper never knows what is going on." T.J.was pleased.
