When he found the bull was running

A Story With Local Application ET-
eryWhere.
Pennington (Me.) Chronicle.

Pennington (Me) Chronicle.
He was the manager Of a church
fair, and one morning he walked into
the newspaper Office and said Want
an item this morning2"
'Ofcourse. replied the editor. where
upon the visitor laid the following
note upon the table:
The ladies Of the-street church
will give festival at their vestry hall
next Friday evening. Literary and
musical entertainments will be provid-
ed, and q supper will be served toiall
who desire. The ladies In charge of
the affair have much experience in
such matters, and are sure TO provide
. good time. The admission will on
1y be fifteen cents, and It is certain
that no one can spend that amount to
. better advantage. Be sure to 60 and
take your friends
When the editor had read It, he
said: oh, see, all advertisement
No, not an advertisement. We pre-
fer TO have 1t go In the local column
replied the manager. And seeing that
the editor looked skeptical, he contin-
ued: 1T willinterest a great many Of
your readers, and help good cause !:
besides we have spent so much money
getting up our entertainment that we
can't afford to advertise 1t without In
creasing the price of the tickets. In
such q matter rs this we ought to be
willing to help each other
WELL said the editor, lift goes in
TO the locals, suppose you would re-
ciprocate by reading a little note In
your church next Sunday? The Wis
iting brother asked what notice, and
the editor wrote and handed him the
following:
The weekly Chronicle for the COM
Ing year, will be the best and cheapest
family paper In Maine. It's proprietor
has had much experience, and has all
the help which large outlay of mon
ey can procure. His paper has a lar
gercirculation than any other publish
ed In the country, and is to be fur
nished at only two dollars. II is oer-
tain that no one can spend that
amount to better advantage. Be sure
90 take the Chronicle, and subscribe
for your friends
The manager hemmed and hesitat-
ed, and then said solemnly, that he
doubted whether it would be judic-
ious to read such notice. but suggest
ed II 1t was printed, copies Of IL might
be distributed at the door of the vest
~ on the evening of the entertain
ment.
Yes said the editor. but IL would
attract more attention In the middle
OF a sermon. 1t will interest large
number OF your congregation and help
a good cause. and, besides SO much
mouey is spent upon the Chronicle
that don't see how the owner can
afford to print hand-bills to advertise
it without increasing the subscription
price. In such q matter as this, We
ought to be willing TO help each 9TH
err
Then the gentleman saw the situa-
tion. and went straight out. without
leaving so much as q complimentary
ticket.
