Ronner,s Success.

Nv. Il. u. Shanks' Letter.
Mr.. Bonner is one Of the few really self
made men, and one Of the substantial few.
His history Of sixty years is we'll known to
most readers, but I think the following
anecdotes illustrative of him have never
been properly told. He had been advertised
quite largely in his way in The Herald,
sometimes taking as much as two columns to
announce blood curdling tale by Sylvanus
Cobb, Jr., or some other of his sensational
story-writers, On one occasion he went to
The Herald with a six-lne advertisement,
which he wished inserted once in each
column Of one Of the advertising pages, the
rest of the column and pago to DO bla, X.
The clerk, taking the advertisement, re-
ferred it to joseph Elliott, then the
publisher Of The Herald, to whom Mr..
Bonner said, Cant have page to myselfg'
Certainly you cam" was the reply. Cant
have twol' Bonner asked. YES" Cant
have four!" II guess So" allow abont
eighth Elliott had to consult with Huds,,A
or Bennett, and there was some mech anical
difficulty.
Bonner had to content himself with his six.
line advertisement inserted twenty-four
times, at a cost for the single days publica-
ton of about 1900. But he always claimed
to have "bluffed" The Herald. The apparent
absurdity Of repeating the same little an
nouncement in twenty-four columns caused
his minister to demonstrate with Bonner OH
his extravaganza. "Why do you adopt such
business me, hods!" he was asked SOLELY to
make you and others notice them," was his
sagacious reply, Such methods were the
bases Of the splendid fortune which enables
him to own Dexter, Rarus, Maud S., and to
house them like princes in a palatial stable.
