A PUFF During the past four
months the readers of The SENTINEL
have doubtless become familiar with
the face of the little cherub which
ornaments the advertisement of
Sweet Saponax, and the majority of
them are by this time familiar
with the manifold merits of this really
delightful tooth-wash. The editor of
The SENTINEL bears cheerful testi-
mony to it's excellencies. 1t is far
superior to any dentifrice we have
heretofore used. It's increasing popu-
larity is attested by Samuel Dickin-
son, Esq, our leading druggist, who
states that since the first appearance
of the advertisement in The SENTINEL,
his sales of Sweet Saponax have more
than quadrupled. In these degen-
crate days of humbuggery and
quackery, ian article like this, en-
dorsedlby dentists, doctors, druggists
and the public wherever it is known,
deserves to be honorably mentioned,
and although The SENTINEL does not
insert paid "puffs," we take pleasure
in giving this one gratis, for the az
ticle in question is all that the pro-
prietors claim for it.

Humbug Advertisements

The time never has been and never
will be when the people of this or
any other country can buy gold
dollar for seventy-five cents. Neither
can you, dear reader, purchase an
organ worth three or four hundred
dollars for $50 This is all nonsense.
Still we have no objection to other
people doing their business just as
they see fit. We are selling a good,
honest made Piano at from S1S5 to
1915, and good, honest Organ mot
all stops for from $4S to $475. All
our goods are made upon honor, and
we send to any part of the world on
test trial, and no pleasee no keepee,
as the Chinaman would say. For the
past ten years we have sent both
Pianos and Organs to every part of
the world, and our instruments give
the most universal satisfaction. If
you wish good instrument, one
that will always last you, we shall be
pleased to send you our catalogue
and prices and if you purchase one
of the Thomas Brothers Sslver Tone
Instruments you will get what you re-
quire, and one instrument sold in
neighborhood always sells us more.

fresh Southern vegetables is increas-
ing and the variety is larger We

THE EARLY DAYS OF PRINTING!
There is an odd story about Faust, the
associate Of Gutenberg, the inventor OF
printing, which, whether true or false,
we'll illustrates this. AS soon as the
Bible, which these two pioneers of the
art had printed, was complete, Faust
took number of copies to Paris to sell.
The first copy he sold to the king for
$50 crowns. and another to the arch
bishop for 600 crowns, and to less illus.
trious or less worthy persons he sold
other copies for much smaller sums,
each one thinking that he possessed a
marvel of penmanship. So delighted
was the archbishop with his purchase
that he took it to the king. who. in en-
ulation, produced his volume. In spite
of differences in the great initial letters,
which were painted by hand, the text
in both was found to be identical, down
to the smallest details, which would be
impossible in books written ~ hand
Other copies, too. it came to be known.
had been sold. There was no way of
accounting for the mystery except by
magic, and poor Faust was committed
to stand his trial for sorcery, and was
imprisoned. Only upon full disclos
ure of his process Of printing, which had
hitherto been kept jealousy secret, did
he obtain his liberty. and this he did
not long enjoy, dying shortly after OF
the plague, before he could return to bis
own country.

SOLOMON Ray.


A hard, close man was Solomon Ray,
Nothing of value he gave away;
He boarded and saved;
He pinched and shaved;
And the more he had the more he craved.
The hard earned dollars he toiled to gain
Brought him little but care and pain;
For little he spent,
And all he lent
He made it bring him twenty per cent.
Such was the life of Solomon Ray;
The wears went by and his hair grew gray,
His cheeks grew thin.
And his soul within
Grew hard as the dollars he worked to win.
But he died one day, as all men must,
For life is tieeting and man but dust.
The heirs were gay
That laid him away,
And that was the end Of Solomon Ray.
They quarrelled now, who had little cared.
For Solomon Ray while his life was spared.
His lands were sold.
And his hard-earned gold
AL went to the lawyers, I am told.
Yet men will cheat, and pinch, and save,
Nor carry their treasures beyond the grave
All their gold some day
Will melt away,
Like the selfish savings of Solomon Ray.
She was plump and beautiful,
And he was much in love.
She hated him, but, woman-like.
To catch him we'll she strove.
But then you see,

A Faithful Workman.

None come so near being independent
as those who make their own fortune.
None are so heavy a burden to the world
as those who wait for luck to make them
rich, or complain that they were born
80.
The contrast between the high-mind-
ed and the l0W-minded way of living
and doing is shown in the following sto'
~ from the New York Ledger :.
Several years ago q large number OF
men were employed, not far from Bos-
ton, to fill some unsightly salt water
flats and raise them above tide water.
One day-it was at eleven o'clock In
the forenoon-the contractor went out
to where separate gang were at WORK

reached the spot he found solitary
man busy on the face of the wall. lie

and was engaged in pointing" the said
wall-that is, neatly filling in the seams
and interstices with bits of stone and
cement. It was nice work and required
a competent workman. But why was
this man here alone?
