The following from the Chicago
Times about advertising relates the
experience of many of the most pros
porous business men:
An old merchant, who had always
been an extensive advertiser, was in the
habit of saying land practicing upon
the theory that the most necessary time
to advertise freely,is when times are dull
est. Accepting this as fact, the present
Is good time TO advertise Before the
holidays trade was brisk; but
since it is not so brisk. Hence,
most merchants do not advertise
SO freely. Here is the mistake
If there be any difference, advertising
should be more brisk. If merchants
have bargains to offer, now is the time
to induce purchasers. It is now that
purchasers watch for bargains and bite
hook that is temptinglY baited. And
how much better it is that merchants
who have goods with which to bait
them, and sell the goods at small profits
rather than keep them upon theii
shelves and invite damage from dust.

must hang, though the time appointed

Ten Your wives.

A woman's advice is generally worth
having; 50 if you are in any trouble,
tell your mother or your wife or sister,
all about it. Be assured that light viii
fash upon your darkness.
Women are too commonly adjudged
verdant in all but purely womanish af-
fairs. No philosophical students of the
sex thus judge them. Their intuitions
or insights are the most subtle, and If
they cannot see cat In the meal, there
is no cat there.
A man, therefore, should keep none of
his affairs secret from his wife. Many
a home has been happily saved and
many fortune retrieved by a mans full
confidence In his wife. Woman is far
more seer and q prophet than man, If
she be given fair chance.
As general rule the wives confide the
minutest of their plans and thoughts to
their husbands Why not recipTocate,
II but for the pleasure of meeting conf
denee with confdence3 The man who
succeed best In life are those who make
confidanfs of their wives.
