How "The Century" Came
to Wanamaker's
UNTIL a few yar ago The Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia and Atlas
was eold through book canvassers for prices ranging from $120 up
wards per set, and peveral million dollars worth was pold by this ex
pensive and indirect method. Yet the work did not really reach the people who
eared for and needed it mot the price was too high. We estimated that if the
cost to the actual buyer could be reduced half, the "little at a time" payment in
troduced, at leat teu times as many people could and would buy.
We arranged with the publishers to do exactly this by taking the risk of a
tremendous edition, and we set to work to adapt the Wanamaker system to selling
this edition by opening a special book club devoted entirely to it.
Here is the net result: Through our elub more than 75.000 people have
already bought the sets. We have saved them fully four million dollars. Their
expenditure of about ten cents a day each has not been felt.
The Wanamaker system insures a transaction satisfactory to both sides.
We don't ask you to pledge yourself in advance. We can't tell you here what we
want to about our plan of wiving you half the price, but we will send to you, upon
request, full explanation of the half-price, little-payment plan, and that booklet of
the following list, which is most likely to interest you:
No. 1 The Business Man. No. 2 The Lawyer.
No. 3 The Clergyman. No. 4 The Physician. No. 5 The Teacher.
No. 6 The Technical Worker. No. 7 The General Worker.

About the Work Itself
No work in ,tho world of txxjkmaklng was care
fully planned -or no ably executed as
The Century Dictionary and
; Cyclopedia, and At!a.
For twenty-one years leaders of every line of
thought have been keeping the work up to date.
For eighteen years prior to the publication of
.the; first volume nearly five hundred of the
world's foremost scholars and specialists labored
in Its production. They Rifted the world's old
facts. They dug for new ones and Included
thousands alxjut ever.v-day existence, business,
the professions, the special trades, household
economics. These they verified. They Illus
trated them by design, diagram, example. They
arranged them in alphabetical order. Each word
and fact was given the most minute study,
Jn order that the work, when completed, should
be the "authority of authorities." When they
; hud completed their work THE CEMURY con
tained thousand of words that bad never be
fore bMa InclHded In any dictionary, and 100,000
more cyclopedic urtlcle than any other cyclo
pedia, and every word and fact could be located
laatautly. Since the issuance of the first com
plete edition smaller force hat kept THE CEN
TURY up to daa. -Hew well the work was done
has been proven by the public test and the fact
that THE CENTURY It today the great Am erican
Work of Reference.
Some of the Many Unique
Features of "The Century"
It is the only work that, gives the
pronunciation of proper names, including
individuals, characters in fiction, mythol
ogy and tradition, the drama and opera,
works of art, famous places and objects.
Nowhere else can you find biographical
sketches of living celebrities.
Xo other work gives the formation,
spelling and pronunciation of plurals
and indicates the use of capital and
small letters in writing every word in
the English language. No other work
gives one-fourth as many cyclopedic
articles or one-third the definitions. Noth
ing now in print will give as late and
satisfactory information about the pop
ulation, etc., of each town, village and
hamlet in the United States or Christen
dom and furnish such a superb collec
tion of up-to-date maps. No other work
gives the latest discoveries in science,
recent explorations and the late appli
cations of electricity in mechanics.

lican state committee headquarters has ar
rived In Lincoln and In his "hustling" way
Chairman Burgess la having It put into the
committee rooms at the lilndell hotel. It
will take a long time to straighten out the
various records In the headquarters and
especially will It take much time to put
In order the card case In which Is kept a
recorcj of the political affiliation of every
voter In the state. This famous card case,

gathered up by employes of the hotel In
the hallway on the first floor of the hotel,
where they were scattered along the line
of march taken by the men who carried
the cases to the committee rooms. One
section of the card case has, a corner
smashed in, while other sections were
badly Jarred and scratched and wrenched
out of plumb. The card caae sections ar
rived at the hotel uncrated and It Is evi
dent from the damage done them that they
were shipped uncrated, from Omaha.
The committee' rooms have been nicely
cleaned and present an Inviting appearance.
Chairman Burgess said this afternoon that
he Intended to continue In active charge
of the headquarters, but that he had not
yet determined about his assistants. Tes

more, Inasmuch as R. B. Bchnelder an-
I buuiioed at the recent committee meeting
that he would be able to get the money
from the national committee. Mr. Hennlngs

SM ALL BOY Til IKS TO KILL HIMSKI.F
Six-Year-Old Child Nays His Dead
Father is Calling- to Him.
NORFOLK. Neb., Nov. 23 (Special.)
Two attempts at suicide by a lad scarcely
old enough to talk and walk is the record
made by little Dewey Newhill, aged 6, at
Tilden, Neb., during the past three weeks.
The child declares that he hears the voice
of his father, once a miner but now dead,
constantly calling him and summoning
the son to Join his parent in the departed
worfd. Threatened, coaxed, pleaded with,
the little fellow Mill stubbornly Insists that
he has a message that Instructs him to die
and he still, at every oportunlty, attempts
to end his life.
The first effort to leave the material world
was by means of a long, sharp butcher
knife. Alone lu the kitchen, where he had
gone to do the deed, he was found by
his awestruck motl'er. the keen-edged blade
buried deep down Into his throat. Stabbing
and Jabbing, he slashed and horribly man
gled the tissue and membraneous lining
until his recovery was fearfully doubtful.
The next attempt to kill himself was by
means of a small hammer, which he se
cured for the purpose. When found, he
was vainly beating at his head, trying to
drive the heavy metal Into his brain nnd
crying because he couldn't succeed.
"I'll put you down into a hole In the
ground," declared his mother, bewildered
as to what further process might be ef
fective. "That's where I want to go," Dewey de
clared. 'That's where papa Is, and he
wants me to come to .him."
His father had been a miner. The lad
has now been taken Into the country where
It Is hoped the changed environment will
absorb his ' interest.
