The manager of one of the leading
business houses of New York shows his
wisdom, according to his own testimony,
by advertising largely during the dull
season. He says: "Just as soon as we
find lull in trade we begin to do EXTRA
advertising and make larger induce
ments than ever, and we find people
will buy even in what is called the dull
months of the year if you will make it
an object for them, and also let them
know by we'll worded advertisements
just what you have got to SELL"

The Situation in Dakota.

The condition of the wheat crop IN Dakota
has not changed since the last report From
the latest reports it is learned that the damage
by the storms in the vicinity OF Tower City viii

Vincent says the farmers Of that section of the
Red River valley are now prepared to harvest
their hay, which is very fine crop. Wheat
and oats are fine. Crops are far in advance of
anything that has been seen for years, but will
not be ready to cut for three weeks yet Reports
of crops from Rolette and Cavileer counties in
Dakota are very fattering. A light frost visited
that locality Monday night and the night before,
but as yet has done no material injury though
in some cases its effects were quite visible, but
it was not SO severe az to injure wheat or

Pacific Elevator company, in an interview,
takes q rather conservative view of the situa-

Of the country at large, place the average pros

bio Lewis reaches the conclusion
that consumption is found in every eli
mate. Inhabitants Of the frozen region,
and those who live under the equator,
die Of consumption. AS to the United
States, there is no doubt that New
England has the largest ratio Of NOR
tally from consumption. But the diff
ference is slight, and is probably ae-
counted for by her immense cotton.

her very close houses, and by the hered-
itary tendency in families.

have no doubt in the world that if Mrs
Langtry were free to-day to make her choice
she would marry Gebhardt in a moment. She
is desperately in love with him and has been
for long time. I think I know enough of her,
too, to say that when it comes to question Of
the heart, that Mrs. Langtry would sacrifice a
her desire. She is a womanly woman
after all, and it is because she has
felt that in the outcome the world would
find that she was acting only from the purest
motives in receiving Mrs. Gebhardts atten-
tions that she has permitted them this long
There were some business affairs remaining
unsettled between us up to the time of her

which I did. Gebhardt was present. He
looked after her every want in the most ten

received his attentions in the same way
Well, now, it did not take an old fellow like
myself long to see how the land lay. l can
