Don't expect an advertisement to
bear fruit in one night.
Bread is the staff of human life, and
advertising Is the staff Of business.
You cant eat enough in week to
last year, and you can't advertise on
that plan either.
A thing worth doing is worth doing
we'll. A thing worth advertising is
worth advertising we'll.
The cnterprising advertiser proves
that he understands how to buy, be.
cause in advertising he knows how to
sell.
People who advertise only once in
three months forget that most folks
cannot remember anything longer than
about seven days.
If you can arouse curiosity by an ad-
vertsement it is great point gained.
The fair sex don't hold all the curiosity
in the world.
Quitting advertising in dull times is
like tearing out dam because the wa
ter is low. Either plan will prevent
good times from coming.
A constant dropping will wear a
rock. Keep dropping your ADVERTISE
ment on the public and they will soon
melt under it like rock salt.
It is mistaken notion that fine
store in an eligible location, surround.
ed by attractive signs, is a superior ad-
vertlscment; for the experience of most
enterprising merchants is that it pays
better to spend less in rent and more
on advertising.

I'm a jolly old bachelor blithc and jocose
I'm as happy as Jnne days are long,
How pity you Bencdcts, dull and morose,
Who can see now just where you went
wrong
I've had narrow escapes, too, myself in my

And my gratitude now express
In sincerity, if not in artistic rhyme.
TO the dear girls who wouldn't say yes
There was Kate, now, the beauty, who first
won my heart;
IF she'd had me, where would be now
Providing for seven four years from the
start,
And buying "the milk Of one COW"
Then Jennie, who Tilted mcncxt, what Of her
She's an invalid now, thin and pale,
And her husband has ruined himself, they
aver,
Buying tonics and B .ss' pale a'c.
Then Mollic, and Lille and Gertrude, and
Belle
And Fanny, and Florence, and May,
And jesse, and Josie, and Halle, and Nell !
All wrinklcd and faded to-day,
While am as j )lly and young rs a boy
And my thanks once again express
To the scornful young maidcns, proud,
naughty and coy,
To the dear girls who wouldn't say yes.

of agonized peril, as the salt spray
dashed against her check and the
waves, like horrible upreaching ser
pents, reared themselves around her
And then came the tumult of sound in
the ears, and the cold touch Of the salt
tide enfolding her in its chilly arms
and she remembered no more.
When sense and recollection came
once more to her, she was on a low sofa
in the old sitting room at home, wrap
ped in blankets, with eager faces round
her, and first and foremost was the face
of Paul Osborne.
Paul, where am Il?
Here in your own home, dearest
Thank heaven that you have Weakened
from that dreadful swoon =
'But-the water-the rocks-the
rising tide"
My dearest whispered her mother
do not try to talk. Paul saved your
life. He found you stretched senseless
on the Big Rock as he rowed homeward
two hours since, and brought you to us
in his boat
He saved my life,' murmured Nelly
looking up into his eyes. Mamma, |
cannot thank him now, but I will thank
him by and BY
And the tender pressure of Pauls
hand betokened that he comprehended
the full meaning Of her words.
There's crisises in the lives Of all OF
us-and that fearful moment of danger
on the lonely beach had been the turn
ing point Of Eleanor Vane's life. Paul
Osbornes wife is unlike the trihing in
constant Nelly Vane as the star is un,
like the shifting will o the wisp. But
he loves her as one might love o dear
one rescued from the very jaws Of

MendaciOus Duplicisy.

This is my wife, sergeant said cit
izen, as he entered the Woodbridge
street station the other day with a
woman on his arm.
Sergt. Bendal, not having his hat on,
gave her the military salute and she
slightly inclined her head in response.
Sergeant continued the man, 1 was

and quarreling. have told my wife
lust how it was, but she won't believe
me. l now want you to tell her the
exact facts.
The husband drew down his right
eye to the official. The sergeant cough
ed and hitched about for a moment,
and then said:
Madam, it's a terrible thing to sus-
pect your husband of mendacious du'
plicity and contumacious deception.
4 don't care if it is, she replied. I'm
bound to know Just how this thing oc-
Cured.
Very we'll, madam. AS the court
understood this case your husband was
on his way home. lie sees the patrol
wagon drive up to saloon. lie pro-
tests against the way officers handle a
prisoner, and is pulled in as an OBJ
structionist. He was tried at the same
time as the man who quarreled with
the woman. All the reporters here
that morning we're drunk, and so it
comes about that the names were mix
ed. Go home madam and be happy
Are you sure that was the way:
Dead sure, madam, and further than
that, all the printers were on Il spree,
that day, too, and can you wonder that
they got John Green mixed Win Jonh
White"
Now does that satisfy you? asked
her husband.
'Y-e s; but sergeant, what became Of
the woman in the case?'
'Faken home, madam back to the
bosom of her family, by tender official
hands. She was q somnambullst, you
see, and had escaped from the house in
her sleep.
well, that convinces me, and III kiss
and make up, she gave her husband a
smack, but if you d only told me tnat
you and the Judge were also drunk my
mind would be entirely easy.

Small Love Affairs.

Firtations begin in the very school,
room nowadays, and are continued,
with more or less desperation, till Cir
cumstances, or sentiment which seems
for the moment deeper than any ever
before experienced, bring about a eli
max in the shape of a wedding.
1t is, perhaps, well enough, if this
climax put ali end to the flames, but.
alas the habit of filtration is one not
easily overcome, and married coouettes
and beaus are sadly common, inslrlng
unhappiness and homes that belle the
name.
If people Of this disposition could on
ly be paired off together there would
be some poetic justice in their torment
ing each other and melting out mutu-
al and we'll deserved punishment.
But likes seldom attract each other,
and more often we see woman giving
in return for the great, strong, whole
souled love of some man only small
fraction of what she is pleased to call Il
heart.
She gives all she has to give, perhaps
but she should have had more.
The trouble is that she has frittered
away her affection. giving little to
this one, bit to that, and portion to
another, till she really has no heart
left, and loses in consequence, what
should have been her lifes shappiness.
Or perhaps it is the husband who re-
paws wife's devotion with half-love
who keeps close boltea from her gaze
many chamber of his heart, where
some other fancy, living or aead, still
holds sway.
For in these days, the saying OF
"whom first we loved we seldom wed
might we'll have had its original num-
Der changed to sixth or seventh.
When the millennium comes all this
will be changed
Boys and glrls will then be brought
up together in sensible fashion, so
wisely taught and guided BY their ell
ders that they will look upon each 9TH
er as playmates, comrades, friends, un-
III the proper time for serious love-
making arrives, while "hlrtation' Will

Things to Do and to Know.

All the profit in farming comes from
crops above the average yield.
Washing the trunks of fruit trees
prevents them from becoming hide
bound. Such a condition in trees is
often started by poverty or unsuitable
soil.
Now when you are beginning the
spring of the year, start in and note
the cost of every crop you raise. Set
down labor, seed, manure, implements,
time occupied in raising the crop, and
all the other items of expense, includ-
ing keep of hands employed BY that
means you will now whether you galn
or lose on anv given crops.
