HOW BoNNER's MONEY HAS BEEN
MADE.

The .Ktyrha0ls' LcIgry was 4 ricke,y
affair, recently started, and was on the
road to IA lure when Bonner became It's
proprietor. This was in 1868. when the
price paid was 5000. In this manner

changed the name of the paper to its
present title, and Immediately operated
on the combined principles which have
rendered his name the synonym of sue.
cess. This was .'to have something
worth advertising and then TO advertise
it" He was in obscu,i,y. and knew
obscurity led to ruin. II WAS as,ruggle
for life, and advertising gave him vic
tory. Fanny Fern was then At her great
est popularity, and, in order to have
something worth advertising" Bonner
solicited her contributions. His offer
was handsome one-Ss5 for one col
umn per week. II was, however, re-
spectfully declined. Nothing daunted,
he doubled his offer, which was again
declined. a proposition followed, and
SIS was mentioned, but the lady was
still obduratc. She, however, was sur
prised that any journalist should have
such degree Of nerve, and hence she
mentioned TO friend that she "liked
the pluck Of the young editor" She
then favored Mr.. Bonner with 4 pro-
posal to write tale of II columns, for
which he paid $1,000. This was at once
announced by an advertisement, whose
expense astonished the world. This
rule has steadfastly been continued
Bonner's first important advertisement
cost him s25, 900, but this was only the
beginning. Since then he has paid
sIoo, 900 in one year for the same pur-
pose. He had a genius for advertising,
and was the first to absorb an entire
page.

A Smart Dog.

.
% A Virginiapaper tells this sto-
ry of Mr. David S. Forney's dog:
"Mr. Forney took his dog into
the house (this was not at home
consequently not a rtricb, and
gave AZ us his pocket-boolS, with
instructions to carry it a distance
to the field and place it some
where on the fence, in a direction
that the wind wouId blow from
II to the house. We did so and
returned. Mr.. Forney came out
with his dog, sat down and said
nothing, nor did he speak TO the
dog. Presently the dog pricked
ND his ears and commenced to
sniff the air, started off in a di-
rect line to where the pocket
book was, passed it a few feet
came back,reared upon the fence
got it, came to his master ane
laid it in his hand. We took 9
number of hats TO the outer edge
Iof the lot; these he brought in
selecting his masters first"

Central M. e. Church. Now it
happens that among the members
of this church there is a. very
worthy lady who is sadly hfaict-

speaking tube, running under
the floor connects her pew with
the pulpit. AT the pew end is
a flexible tube with ear piece
attached, which, when the serv-
ice begins, she takes III her hand
and holds up to her ear. The
pulpit end terminates in a funnel
shaped attachment extending
downward from the desk, and
covered with a. sortrof, grating
Ior perforatediI metal disc. J On
the Sunday in question Mueller
tespied The, grated opefing in the

conclusion that it was aohot air
