ADVERTISING THAT PAID-Johnny Man.
ming, the Sheriff Of Deadwood, D. T., was in
St. Louis on business, and he eremembered that
the year before St. Louis man had been ul
to Deadwood and left owing man several
hundred dollars, which was to be paid as soon
as he got home. Manning met the man in St.
Louis, and he said he would hand him the
money the next day, but the day passed and
the money did not come, though the man was
amply able to pay. So one morning Manning
inserted personal in the newspaper to the ef-
feet that if the man who left Deadwood be.
tween two days did not pay the money he for
got to pay, before night, the whole circum.
stance would be published the next day. The
notice was signed "John Manning, Sheriff of
Deadwood." Before 9 O'Clock young man
called at Manning's and said he had seen the
notice and came to pay 1920 he had borrowed
to get out of DeadwOod Manning found out
who the money was borrowed of, and took it
to carry the Deadwood citizen, remarking that
he was not the man the Sheriff referred to,
but it was a mighty mean sheriff that would
not carry money to friend. The next man
to call was the man he wanted, and he paid
the money, and apologized, and begged the
Sheriff to say nothing about it. During the
day seven citizens of St. Louis called on Man.
ming and paid him money for citizens of Dead
wood, believing the Sheriff had reference tc
chem in his notice, and after he had gone
away another citizen called and asked the clerk
for Manning, but he said the other fellows had
been there and paid up, and this man had bet
ter keep his money. The Sheriff said he al
ways thought advertising paid, but he had
never had it demonstrated to his satisfaction
before.-Mil,calkee Sun.
