American wit and humor
=Fortune-Telling by Cards.= Here, indeed, is a book every young man or
woman should have. To-day “playing cards” for an evening’s enjoyment is
a most popular pastime. No matter where you are, no matter where you go,
nowadays “playing cards” is the thing. When played solely for amusement
it is a most innocent entertainment, and at the same time a great
memory-trainer. You must have often noticed at card parties, while
sitting or standing around waiting for late arrivals to come, there are
a few moments when you wish they’d start, or you wish there was
“something doing.” Just at this moment is your chance to make a hit with
your fortune-telling by cards. No matter how “bum” you are at it, the
girls will flock around you four and five deep. You will be the king
bee, as it were, and you will have the inward pleasure of making the
other boys feel like a long skirt on a rainy day—very damp. In addition
to the above, “Fortune-Telling by the Magic Crystal” is gone into in
detail, giving all the symbols for a correct divination of the future.
“The Oraculum: or, Napoleon Buonaparte’s Book of Fate” (specially
translated) is given here for perhaps the first time in the English
language. A table of questions generally applicable has been compiled,
and sixteen pages of answers, to suit any temperament or individuality,
are given. “Fortune-Telling with Dice” is very complete, giving an
assorted list of thirty-two answers to questions for every possible
throw of two dice. Get this book, study it, and spring it on the “bunch”
at the first opportunity, and if the girls don’t say you are certainly
IT we’ll refund the money. There’s many a time you’d pay $10 to make a
hit with ONE girl—here’s a chance to make a hit with any number of
them—all for 25 cents.
Any of the above books will be sent by mail, postpaid, on
receipt of price by J. S. Ogilvie Publishing Company, 57 Rose
Street, New York.

HARRY L. NEWTON’S
GREAT JOKE BOOK
ENTITLED
“SIDE-TRACKED.”
There is really “something doing” in this joke book. It has been
pronounced IT with a capital I. One hundred and twenty pages of clean,
fresh, bright humor—=not a dull line=!
Harry L. Newton, the author, has declared it to be his masterpiece, and
his assertion is being borne out daily, as our sales are increasing very
rapidly. The first edition of 50 thousand was sold =in less than two
weeks=.
