THE MATTER OF ADVERTISING, as a BUSH
ness measure, is often misunderstood. II is
an unbeatable rule of trade that advertising
pays. OI course the same judgment and
prudence must be exercised in advertising
as III any other part Of ones business. IfthiS
Is not done, instead OF paying il may become
source OF loss. II is more necessary 10 al
vcrtlSe now than il was fifty, or a hundred
years, or even twenty-five years ago. People
are more busy now than they were then.
They have less time and leisure to look
about for what they want. They look to the
newspaper 10 learn where their wants can be
supplied, and they accept il as a settled rule
that the man who adyertises the commodi-
waiting FOR the people to find II out them
selves, is the best man 70 deal with, ami most
likely to give satisfaction.

Parents are born to be great trouble to
their offspring. When l wassver so little
/ remember tried to hang up the kitten
by my whiplash, and mother took the kitten
away, boxed my ears, and wentand drowned
it herself the next day, So she had all the
fun herself. And fathers worse than
mother. He told me to take care of the
pennies and the dollars would take care of
themselves, so and Ben Smith formed an
anti-swearing club. We had rule that
for every profane word we used we would
pay a cent into the treasury. We had IS
cents in the first day, but when we divided
and fetched 371 cents home, father said
it was bad business, whipped me and broke
up the club. How is fellow to know
when he is doing right? If l had no par
ents to hound me round, I'd beat George
Washington all holler, for I'd cut down
every cherry tree in the garden, and own it,
too. i'll was an orphan know what I'd
do. Ben Smith and me would go to DESC
late South Sea island, stir up the goats and
monkeys and things, fry toadstools, eat
oranges a spell, then we'd make a ship and
sail around the world. What's the use of
drying up in one place. l told mother one
day, when she wouldn't give me ten cents,
that meant to go a whaling, and hoped a
whale would swallow me as one did Jonah,
and then she wouldn't see me again, for
can't swim. She said l wouldn't be likely
to make such visit, for would turn the
whales stomach mighty quick after got
there. Wasn't she bully? If were a

and mind my own business, and let my
children have some fun. There's Tom
