ARE ADVERTISEMENTS READ ?-HOn.
John Forsyth, the veteran editor of the
Mobile Register, used to tell a good story
to illustrate the value of newspaper adver-
tiSing, as means of getting before the
public whenever you wished them to know
of your wants or wares.
MIR Forsyth was accidently drawn into
/ discussion OF this subject with mer-
camille friend, who expressed emphatic
doubts that an advertisement benefited a
mans business at all, and closed bis side
of the debate with the common remark
Its all money given to the aid of the
newspapers Nobody reads my advertise
ment, or thinks, of it, or looks after it, ex-
cept your foreman and collector"
Forsyth replied "Let us test the truth
OF your assertion. Sit down and write out
an advertisement such as l dictate and y II
will put it in the smallest type the cs
contain; and insert it in the remOtessE
ner of the Register that you can select.
The next morning there appeared 40

AN exchange says: The latest cure for
drunkenness, as prescribed by the scientists,
is 70 live on beans. That there is more
nutritious substance in a peck of beans
than Uhshel of potatoes is a well estab-
lished fact i'm culinary science, but that
the bean possesses the rare medical pro-
perty of serving as an antidoie for drIuk-
enness is new. Certainly no cheaper anti
dote for that terrible disease corld well be
compounded. And it is so convenient

Murphy boys. Let them get mp bean festi-

and be made a man again. If the cure is
efficacious the discovery may be ranked

has corrupted.

THEY Met IN KANSAs.-Some twelve
years ago, in the backwoods of Michigan
a young man by the name of Donovan

went well but soon family cares began to
gall and fIet him and lie struck out for the
wesr, leaving his wife to care for herself
and one child. For five years he wandered
about and finally married again and set
tied IN the southern part of this county.
From this marriage three children were
born, but last fall the woman sickened and
died, leaving him and :he little children
alone upon his prairie home. In the mean
time his first and real wife in Michigan.
after waiting five years for him TO return,
concluded him to be dead and also married
again, and last winter started west with
their family of four children, one being the
child of the first marriage, and 0y some
unknown fatality came to this county and
settled within one half mile of Donovan

long before the woman and her truant hus-
baud met, much To the astonisbmcnt of
each other, and now the two families are
