BEST MEDIUM S !!

Many advertisers have a theory about advtrti~.
Ing Some say that there is of trying to
force trade when it is dull others say that tr, is
GOOD enough at certain seasons. and they only
want trade in such and such months. Hence
they advertise at that time only.
Men who advertise only AT stated times lia-

has said that the first time person sees an adv"r

to it; the second week he reads il somewhat care
fully: the third week he begins To talk with his
family neighbors about it and the fourth week

While in things regard may he had To the

read a local paper about as much at one time as

is not likely to he quite as productive. that fact
keeps competing advertisements out of the news

persons whose attention the advertiser desires To

which he pays than of gratuitous sheet circular
which is thrust in at his door. An advertisement
in his paper attracts his attention and secures
his confidence without any otcious solicitation al
most without his knowing it, The strong reason

individual sovereignty. as
exemplifed in the United
States, hasits dangers. Where
any man may become a leader
Of men, in administration and
rulership, the temptation to
become such always exists.
Ont Of this temptation grows
the cnrse of politics. Offices
seeking is more prejudicial to
the common welfare than any
other social influence except
Intemperance and the two are
closely allied. The Offices
seeker becomes less and less
lan honest man, as he learns
more and more of political
chicanery. Tricks and subter-
fuges he would once have

lDlnahingly. His watchward is

Now let us be frank about
this matter; morality is not
conserved by Politics. That it
should be is not to the point !;
We must deal with the fact as
it exists. Perhaps political
times are no worse than they
were Fifty years ago ; they cer>
taialy are no better. De Witt
CIinton's political morality had
its stains, and SO has that of
the pnrest politicians now.

A Man Who Had Evidently Travelled.

started up Francis street, carpet
