WHAT AN ADVERTISER WHO HAS SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS SAYS ABOUT THE BUSINESS.


 A gentleman who has been pre-emi- nently successful in business, in speak ing on this subject, said: "When l went into business there were others who had the start of me. Some had more experience, others had more capital, while there were several who had the advantage of better location. I con- sidered all these points, and resolved to advertise extensively. For several years I spent more than my entire profits in printers ink, and I have found that it repaid more than hundred-fold. I have thoroughly tested the different modes of advertising, and I believe-yes, I know for certainty-that the columns of a popular newspaper are the best me dil1m of introduction to buyers. am in the habit of inquiring of newsdealers in the different parts of the city and country as to the circulation of certain newspapers and I find that those which are most read by the common people are the best for advertising purposes. The high priced newspapers, which find their way to counting rooms and business houses, do not amount to much for ad- vertising purposes. Business men, as a rule, do not read advertisements. The workingmen and people of the so-called middle class devote their evenings and spare time to reading, and the cheap newspaper is what they patronize. I find, in conversation with this class of my patrons, that they are better read, more accurately posted on the general news of the day, than are our business men. In my experience in advertising, which has been extensive, I believe that $1O invested in 8 newspaper is worth more than $1OO in hand-bills, posters, etc" -...

An Oregon Panther Story.

Oregon is the scene of panther-slaying episode, which, as related by local pa- per, is enough to make Fiction blush over the audacity of Truth. A settler living near Scott's Mills set out to haul some cedar timber, being accompanied by chil- dren, a little rat-terrier, a New Foundland dog and large-bore rifle. After leaving the main road a panther crossed the path, and was quickly treed by the dogs. Ob- taining rest aim he shot the beast dead When he returned to the wagon the chil- dren pointed out another panther behind them in the path by which they had come. This one was treed and shot in the same manner, but sprang from the tree and ran hundred yards before it fell. Pro- ceeding some distance further the little dog treed panther two-thirds grown Number three was shot dead Before he had time to reload he heard the big dog barking at something about 200 yards off. On going there he saw the biggest panther he had ever seen-a very large female. She was growing and snapping her teeth at the dogs. It was difficult to get good shot, but on firing she came down and ran off, the dogs fol- lowing. She was next found on stump about twenty-five feet from the ground. Heshotagain butno vital spotwas struck. On looking for bullet he found that he had only half bullet left with which to make successful shot or lose his game. His patching was all gone as well, so he tore off part of the lining of his coat. Taking careful aim he fired. The beast tumbled to the ground and was seized by the dogs. She had succeeded in tear ing the scalp nearly off the big dog, when death put an end to the struggle. Mum, Der four measured nine feet.
