How TO Get a Patent.

When an inventor seeks to secure a
patent the first question that arises is ITO
whom shall I apply for letters?" There
are so many so called patent solicitors, each
claiming unequalled facilities that the
question is sometimes long time unans-
wered. To all who are in doubt how to
proceed, We advise correspondence with
F. A. Lehman, Washington, d. c., who
has been in the business eleven years, three
of which were spent in the examiner 8
Office. He possesses unusual advantages
for obtaining prompt action on claims, and
beside has the prestige of acquaintance
with the best mode to proceed 1t is
frequently very difficult matter to get a
ready hearing, and by this means patentees
often suffer temporary embarrassment, at
least, from infringements on their right to
manufacture. This as we'll as all other
annoyances can be obviated by placing your
claim in competent hands for hearing. The
past experience, splendid opportunities and
unexceled advantages possessed by Mr..
Lehman, render it desirable to transact
business of this kind through his agency
which is at present doing the third largest
business in the country. He employs five
assistants, all competent, reliable men, and
guarantee to secure patent or no pay,
For full information on all points cores
pondence is solicited and will receive
prompt attention. Address, f. A. Leh-
man, Washington, d. c., Solicitor OF
Patents.

The young man who writes cute stories for

publication of Jennie KeDnedy's exposure
of her mother in last Thursdays ARGUS.
He is probably not aware that the mission
of a newspaper is to furnish to the public,
news. at the earliest possible moment.
Because he had not the enterprise to OBJ
tain The facts and give to his readers, in
fact was deluded into contradicting ithe
statement. he seeks to divert attention from
the omission by censuring THE ARGUS for
publishing something not agreeable to the
wishes of the police. THE ARGUS can
stand any amount of such censure.
