About Advertising.

If you have a good thing, advertise
it. If you haven't, don't.
If you don't mean to mind your own
business, it will not pay to advertise.
It's as true of advertising as of any
thing else in the world, if it is worth
doing at all, it is worth doing we'll.
We don't recommend advertising as
the best way to get wife, but we know
that it is the best way to get good
trade.
Don't expect an advertisement to bear
fruit in one night, like the prophets
gourd. Advertising will take effect,
but it takes more than one night to do
it.
You can't eat enough in one week to
last whole year, and you can't adver-
tise on that plan, either.
A large advertisement once and then
discontinued creates the impression that
the man has fizzled.
Injudicious advertising is like fishing
where there is no fish. You need to let
the lines fall in the right place.
A constant dropping will wear rock.
Keep dropping your advertisements on
the public, and they will soon melt un-
der it like rock salt.
Large type isn't necessary in adver.
tising. Blind folks don't read newspa-
perS.

A Kings Example.

"The gentleman king of England I"
had plain country squire to dine with
him, one day. When game was put
upon the table, and the squire got q
snipe on his plate, he took it by the legs
and began to twist them off in his rough,
homeiy style. The attendants were
Mortified. The king saw it, and knew
that if the squire should glance UP and
see their looks he would know that he
was doing something dreadful, and be
covered with confusion; whereupon the
king took his own snipe by the legs and
began twisting them off, just as the
squire was doing. What fine case of
the usual form of politeness withdraw
ing behind the principle which seeks to
protect the feelings of others

Deceiving a Watchman.

A man employed to watch the medical
colleges in indianapolis, to prevent the
stealing Of subjects, gives the following
account OF one nights experience
kept up brisk walk along the west end
of the building, knowing that was the
only way to crowd them in, although
occasionally varied my beat by going
round on the other side of the block,
passing both stairways. In the early
part of the evening I met and passed a
good many pedestrians-men of rough
appearance-whow went through the alley
in leisurely way, as if bent more on
filling in time than anything else. As
the ghostly hour drew near / saw fewer
of these rough providers, and finally
found myself the sole wanderer in the
Alley. A little before midnight light
covered buggy turned in from the street.
1 was quite near it, and by the light II
the street lamp saw it contained two
men. The one on the right was driving,
and chatting volubly to his companion,
who in turn responded in different and
somewhat coarser voice. Very good
friends they seemed to be, and very
civil, thought. OF course, they could
have no "subject concealed in that
enough to hold themselves. They stopped
suddenly. the driver speaking the word,
" whoa !" in an unusually loud tone OF
voice. / was close behind them, and
saw rope drop down from the upper
regions very unexpectedly to mo, but
not to the soft-voiced gentleman on the
right side of the buggy. He caught the
end of it, and in an instant Of time
hooked it fast to his friend on the left,
and up he went, while the chatty driver
drove off alone. Sure enough, the sec.
ond man was an uncommunicative
stiff" and L had been n consummate
fool not to think of it sooner. He went
up in less than five seconds, and was
snatched in at an upper window in q
twinklipg. That driver was clever
sooundrel, with considerable talent for
ventriloquism.

The Force Of Circumstances.

Says correspondent of the New York
Ledger: Years ago-five- -and-twenty,
at least-my friend and confrere, J. g..
Pitrat, sitting in my Office, gave to me a
copy OF announcements which had been
made in the Moniteur concerning the
movements of Napoleon Bonaparte.
Pitrat had been priest, and also editor
OF Paris newspaper in the time of
Louis Philippe, and his relations to me
of his political experience in France
were as instructive as they were inter-
esting.
Here is the first announcement,
clipped from a copy of the Moniteu,
of March, 1916:
"The monster has escaped from his
place of banishment. He has run away
from Elba."
Remember that Louis XVIII. had
been by the allied powers of Europe
seated upon the throne of his ancestors,
and that the quaking of the nation from
the tread of the late emperor had not yet
ceased. There was a wondrous power in
the name.
Very shortly following the first an
nouncement of the Moniteur came the
second, as follows:
"The Ogre (worse than monastery of
Corsica has landed at Cannes, on Cape
Juan. He has few of his old guard
with him."
On the next day our truth-telling edi-
tor wrote
"The tiger has shown himself at GAP.
By order of the authorities the royal
troops, together with the whole force of
the police, are advancing to arrest his
progress. If he escapes the indignant
power thus set against him, it can only
be as wanderer among the mountains.
Further escape is impossible"
Two days later the Monite,1 publish
ed its fourth announcement:
"The monster has, we are credibly in
formed, advanced as for as Grenoble. To
what treachery this is to be ascribed we
know not; but there must be treachery
somewhere"
Fifth announcements" The tyrant
is at Lyons. Concerning this there can
be no mistake. Fear and terror have
seemed to seize all at his appearance"
Sixth (two days later).-"The death
dealing usurper has ventured to ap-
proach the capital, and, at this present
writing, is within sixty hours march.
We know not the strength of the rabble
in his train"
On the next day the MOniteIr said:
" Bonaparte is advancing boldly, and by
forced marches; but we do not think It
possible that he can reach Paris
Eighth announcement.-"Na Napoleon
will doubtless arrive under the walls of
Paris tomorrow"
Later the paper informed its eager
readers that The Emperor Napoleon
is at Fontainebleau."
For the tenth announcement concern
ing the movements of the historic Cor
sican, the Moniteur Loyalty said to its
readers
Yesterday, his majesty, the emperor,
made his public entry into the city, ar
irving at the Tuileries in the evening.
The populace is carried away by enthu-
siasm, and nothing can exceed the uni
versal JOY. France will be no longer the
plaything Of the allied powers"

piteous whimper, and let herself be
hushed to rest. Faiths gentle fingers
parted the tangled hair, and Fsith's ripe
lips touched the wasted brow.

"Kin stay here2" she asked, pres
emily. "Bill said his dog 'ud get me if

dog" and out of her childish lips quite
naturally, and without hesitation, came
an oath that made Faith shudder.
ooh, you must not says those words
you must not" cried the young
monitress. "It breaks my heart to
hear you, and God will be angry with
you"
"Who's he2 Is it that 'ere2" said
the child, pointing toward John.
please, mister, don't get mad. /
| amt
She was too weak to go on. Faith
leaned close down to her car, and spoke,
softly.
"God is your father, poor child, and
he won't be angry if you tell him you
are sorry"
"I never seed him; 1 hain't got
none."
"Don't talk now. I'll tell you about
him the best can."
And, in her earnest fashion, Faith
told the wonderous tale. She spoke of
Gods love, and to the ears of one hearer
at least her accents sounded like the
dropping of milk and honey from the
promised land. And before she had fin
ished the sweet recital the child had sunk
into another period of light slumber, her
hand clasped in Faiths.
The freight glimmered on the wall,
making frieze, across which trooped
figures gaunt and shadowy, like the old
Ossianic heroes. The warm red of dra-
peries, and the glitter of holiday gar
lands sank alike into gloom. and for q
long time no sound came to the watch
ers, save the ticking of the tireless
clock and the weakened breath ebbing
slowly out.
Suddenly the vagrant opened her eyes
again.
"I'm a-clearin' out, please, mister.
Only it was warm"
You-you are going, little one," said
Faith, sorrowfully. "Wont you ask
God to take you2"
Is it warm up there-th that place you
said? Is there winters, too?"
eyes; it is a beautiful place, and
you'll never be cold again, nor hun
CRY, nor anything, but Gods own little
child"
ooh please AK him-ax him to
take me long" she said, with bright
ened eyes. "That was good what you
said. bout that gentleman that sent his
son."
Faith took the little hands, and fold
ed them in token of supplication. She
raised her own soft eyes, and the little
one looked upon her wonderingly.
"Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom
come"
Come" echoed the stammering
lips.
That was all, as a weary soul flut-
tered out into rest. Only that, when
tho pilgrimshoon, too early worn and
grimed," were loosed, John Bright fell
down upon his knees. and sobbed aloud.
AS for Faith, it did not frighten her.
She quietly arose, and drow aside the
curtain, and there
The east and west, without breath.
Mixed their dim lights like life and death.
To broaden into boundless day.

A Christmas Carol.

They are ringing, they are ringing,
Our merry Christmas bells,
In the village, in the city,
In the dale-church DER the fells,
Be ours Of life 81 varied,
Be our fortunes poor or bright,
Hand in hand with all our brothers,
We ara one at least tonight
Nor tho noble in the mansion,
Nor the sovereign on the throne,
Nor the beggar in his hovel,
VIII enjoy themselves alone.
We all seek the kindly greeting
Ofsome dear, familiar face
We all know that hermit feeling
For tonight is out Of place.
But one night! Why not for ever
Should we bind the golden chain
That shows man his poorest fellow
Was not sent to earth in vain.
That each sorrow hath purpose.
That each joy hath al alloy,
That ever finely balanced
Are the scales of grief and joy.
Spare little, then, ye rich ones,
From your laden golfers now;
Bring to poverty a sun-ray,
Bring a smile to sorrows brow.
Take it gratefully, ye toilers,
Toilers up earth's weary hill;
lis green spot in your desert,
lis good sprung from your ill.
Yes ye rich and poor united,
lis most grand in Heavens sight,
And blessing, not earth's blessing.
Is on all the world tonight.
