The Calamity Howler. Now that the Golden Festival and Voting Campaign has narrowed down to two short weeks, twelve working days?the campaign for honors and golden prizes will increase with every hour struck by Father Time, until the last few frenzied hours?hours of nervous activity, suspense and wonderment. These two weeks must show the survival of the fittest, the reward of the perservering, the honors of the winners, the happiness of friends, and the enthusiasm of the public. Tlresc fourteen days will develop anoth? er side of human nature; the losers in defeat, their hopes and ambitions cast to the winds, their nerve gone, their failure in life explained. It is a parting of the way; the persevering, on up to success; the others down to defeat. This is the time of the Calamity Howler?the Ne'er Do Well?the pessimist. The Calamity Howler will not win. Doesn't want to win. He cannot best the sluggard in his brain. Neither does he want to see another win. He plots, he lies, he flatters, he invents, he fabricates, he ridicules. Rumors and absurdities are his stock in trade. And often he trades. Yesterday he traded. Today he will trade. Tomorrow, he will seek you, to trade. Ho does not want to see you win. Because he cannot win himself, he does not want to see you win. His diseas? ed brain will see that you do not win, if you only will listen. He tells you how many votes he has, how many he will get, that it's all fixed, that he knows who will win. 1 Yesterday he held a Dance of the Fates. He met a candidate. She had many subscriptions to collect. "Why, you have no chance to win. I have ten two year subscriptions myself." MJss Candidate listened? she heeded, she quit. "It's no use. I'm beaten," and that Calamity Howler didn't even have a hundred thous? and votes. It worked! It will work again. Arc you going hand in hand with the Calamity Howler or you going to walk alone low your own Inclination, and win! These last few days will make a year's difference. It's important! Fol TRIPLE VOTES ???????IHBMHBBHHMIB ON EVERY SUBSCRIPTION IN BY 10 P. M. Saturday, April Don't forget that every active candidate will receive a reward.
