The Store That Never Adver-
tiSeS

tlScSs
The following from an exchange,
is true of any town, and we commend
it to the attention of business men:
The store that never advertises is
probably one of the most solemn and
dreary spectacles to contemplate that
is ever spread out before human Wis
ion. From the outside it resembles q
hearse house with mournful variation.
Occasionally some one steps in to
inquire with becoming solemnity, if
there has been death in the family,
or to ask where that store is that the
paper tells about. But aside from
these anda few withered cronies who
drop in to discuss the causes which
led to the Revolutionary war, the
quiet of the place is never interrupted.
One of the proprietors, if there are
two, posts the last years accounts in
chalk on shingle, and the other tells
how folks did when he was young
man, a story, which if told well makes
a first rate legend. They don't keep
any clerks and only half keep them
selves. Timid boys say when they
go by the store, that the place is
haunted, and the hurrying business
man refers to it as the place where
Slow d Easy used to keep store
great many years ago. The only diff
ference between day and night is,
that in the night you are more liable
to but your head against the faded
out sign board that drops from the
door casing, and which was once
luminous with the gayly-colored word.
"Store." Such instances are terrible
warnings to men of the present age,
not to try doing business without ad-
vertising.

very sorry; for one quarter of your
life is gone"

ferryman: "Do you know anything
of mathematics?
The boatman smiled and replied,
mo"
"Well then," said the philosopher,
another quarter of your life is
gone"
A third question was asked the
ferryman, ''Do you understand astron-

would both swear at the wind.
"Stop, STOP" shouted Hill; ''let us
have fair play, gentlemen; it's my

''At what is your turn?" asked the
captain.
"At swearing" replied Hill.
After waiting until his patience
was exhausted, the captain urged Mr..
Hill to be quick and take his turn for

vagrant by profession. He told the Judge
that he had been a guest at the hands OF
the county agent of that enterprising town
for some time. but that the agent sent him
to this city, either to work or live the best
way he could. Justice Scully was amazed
at the cheek of Rock Islands county
agent, and started Mr.. johnson back for
that city. and also sent message to the
county agent, to the effect that it he ever
came TO Chicago, and Justice Scully found
it out, he would be sent up for thirty days.
General Knox, who was in the court room
at the time, stated that he practiced law
10 that town for twenty-three years, and
that he thinks the prisoner does some tall

agent is not that kind of a hair pin. y
