BARNUM ON ApvERrIsIsG.--P. It. Baruum, the
great Snowman, in the autobiography which he
gave 70 the world, showed conclusively that he
knew one thing well. He and still is mas
ter of the art of money making. No man in the
country more completely understands the secrets
of business success. He advertised extensively,
and coined money out of printers ink. He not
only advertises himself, but patronizes those who
do He says: II never patronize business
man that don't. advertise, for the that
invariably get cheated if do. The penurious
principle that prevents man from keeping the
business before the public viii prevent him from
selling cheap What Barnum has noticed any
man of discernment viii find to be true. Invar
iably the best store to buy at is the one which
advertises most largely. Keep your eye on our
advertising columns if you want bargains. You
will find it to advantage to buy of those who ad-
vertise most literally Take our word for that

surprise than the fact that thirty persons iiv-

norat of the danger to which they were
thus exposed, Root river is one of the most
remarkable streams in the northwest In
closed in narrow valley by abrupt hills, its
