The Tine to Advertise.

NV son, there is nothing on earth SO
mysteriously funny as a newspaper ad-
vertisement. The prime, first, last
and all the time, object of an ADVERTISE
ment is to draw custom. 1t is not, was
not, and never will be, designed for
any other human purpose. So the
merchant waits till the busy season
comes, and his store is so full of. GUS
toners that he can't get his hat of, and
then he rushes to the newspaper ana
puts in his advertisement. When the
dull season gets along, and there 10 no
trade and he wants to sell goods SO bad
he can't pay his rent, he takes out his
advertisement. That is, some of them
do, but occasionally a. level headed
merchant puts in a bigger one and
scoops in all the business while his
neighbors are making mortgages to pay
house rent.
There are times when you couldn't
stop people from buying everything in
the store if you planted a cannon be-
hind the door, and that's the time the
advertisement is sent out on its holy
mission. 1t makes light work for the
advertisement, for a chalk sign on the
sidewalk could do all that was needed
and have q half holiday six days in the
week, but who wants to favor an ad-
vertisement? They are built to do hard
work, and should be sent out in the
dull days when a customer has to be
knocked down with hard facts, and
kicked insensible with bankrupt reduce
tions and dragged in with irresistible
slaughter of prices before he will spend
a cent.
That's the aim and end of an adver-
tisement, my son, and if you eve open
a store don't try to get them to come
when they are already sticking out of
the windows, but give them your adj
yertisement right between the eyes in
the dull season, and you will wax rich
and own a fast horse, and perhaps be
able to smoke a good cigar one or
twice a year. Write this down where
you'll fall over it every day. The time
to draw business is when you want
business, and not when you have more
business than you a attend to al
ready.
It is noticeable that when the dull
season approaches, a mans idea is to
retrench and economize-this is right.
But nine times out of ten, he often be.
gins ut the wrong end. He invariably
thinks that by Withdrawing his adver-
tisement-if he has one running-from
the columns Of his local paper be Sc
cures thereby a big saving ; he un-
d~oubtedly does, that is, like the boys
did in the snbioined tale
Two bad boys coaxed a live cat into
an empty -four barrel and captured
him. One boy held the cat a prisoner,
while the other went to get an Ak,
They then found a block in the back
yard. They swung the cat end Of the
feline, head down, yer one side of the
block, while the boy, with o death grip
on the tail end, pulled that appendage
taut. Then the boy with the ak shout
ed slook out y and down came the az
with terrible force. The boy at the
rudder end lodged and jerked tail and
cat just in time to cut off about two
inches Of cat and more tail than they
intended to sever. The cat was spoil
cd for looks and the tail for future use
~fnlness. Moral-In cutting down ex-
penses don't cut off more cat than
