Her husband was also in the Federal

2. Never travel with "iust enouob -

4. Always look after yourself. and do
not allow a stranger to procure vour

o. Avoid, If possible, making changes
IN car by night, but, when unavoidable
go with others. Do not become sepsrated
from the crowd.
o. Take no hacks, but 20 in an omni.

are perfectly safe.

Modern Adyerilsing

I
We admire enterprise, we like 10 sec
trade prosper, and we believe in adver.
tising We don't care how many papers
man employs or how many cards and
circulars he scatters broadcast through
the land, but We must express our
strong aversion to the methods usel by
certain parties for giving publicity to
their wares.
For instance, it is not pleasant to find
ones fences and walls emblazoned with
huge, staring capitals announcing the
virtues OF Oheatem's Itch Ointment" "
or an order to use Catohem's Belly
ache Drops" "Dothefhs Onreall, Z"
Squibob's Bitters," or some other
OF the numerous nostrums OF the
day.
This method Of advertising is, we
protest, nuisance. Not place of pub.
lie resort, nor a depot, in fact, nowhere
that people resort, either for business
or recreation, but is besmeared in this
outrageous manner fences, walls,
buildings, public and private, new and
old, are afflicted by this mania, and as il
is usually done without as much as saw
ing to the owners, "by your leave" the
newspapers, the legitimate channels for
advertising, are swindled out of what is
justly their dues.
1t is high time this thing was stopped:
the evil is becoming unbearable, aud if
these enterprising people will not pay
some respect to other peoples rights,
they should be made to understand that
the law provides remedy therefor. If
we mistake not, the penalty for defaciug
is severe one.-Honle CjrcIe.
