Sirs : I am employed with one of the largest concerns of news dealers in the U. S. (Fred Harvey, Union Station, Chicago), working on the second shift and attending law school in the forenoon. ... I formed the habit of studying TIME and find it the most delightful little magazine on the market. . . . . . . So far not one of our customers who has bought TIME failed to return. It is a pleasure to sell TIME, since this can be done with the full knowledge that the customer gets his money's worth and will always find it enlightening and, what...

I now ap preciate its cheapness, mostly on this article. You are on a par with the Graphic** (I read it once and honestly believe it a vile paper...
...large but silent feet, which raise his snaky chest and belly clear of the ground. He is called "boeaja darat" and "land crocodile" by the Dutch, who have shot him as long as 12 feet. He is an object of abject terror among the island natives because of his habit of devouring his food with ferocious nocturnal noises. He is fairly easy to hunt, being deaf. He is, scientists believe, a cousin of the smaller monitor lizard (ravager of crocodile eggs) which the Smithsonian men hope to get in Africa; that is, of the family Varanus. If found he will...
