SOME n SIGNS.
Queer Advertisements of Busin ess,
which Create much Amusement.

"Did you ever notice the peculiar
ways some people have of wording and
punctuating signs and notices2o said a
gentleman in Chattanooga to a reporter
the other day:
"Don't know that | have" replied
the pencil pusher.
the street, or notice the advertisements
aud headlines in some papers, and you
| will be surprised"
Following this cue the reporter be-
gan to cast his eyes about him in his
walk along Market street. The first
| sign that attracted his particular atten-
ton was one that hangs in front of a
hat renOvating establishment, and
which makes the following announce
ment:
Your hat blocked while you wait
for 50 cents.n
1t fails to state how long you must
wait for the fifty cents, and, therefore,
the exact time ut which the ''dicer"
will be retained to its owner is rather
vague.
u little further on and a commission
house was reached, where a large piece
of pasteboard swung out to the breeze,
upon which, in letters that evidently
emanated IRON a marking-pot, appear
ed the words:
"Goose Feathers Marked Down.
Now, as to just whether this was a
little practical joke on the part of the
merchant the reporter did not know, but
as down" comes from a goose, and are
goose feathers, they can very appropri-
ately be marked ''downn without any
false representation OIL the part of the
seller, Or without conveying the fact
that they are any cheaper than they
have been before.
Then the reporter began to scratch his
Intelligent Uranium and sauntered back
TO the Office. As he crossed the street
near the pants factory, he saw a small
Tie closer, read the startling intelli-
gence:
Female Pant Makers Wanted"
Comment was unnecessary and the
scribe went on his way. =.
a few minutes later he picked up a
Richmond, Va, paper, and in the
"want"c column read the advertisement
of a tobacco manufacturing firm, which
was worded i'll this way:
"Wanted-Four girls to strip in a
tobacco factory
just underneath this was another
small ''ad. stating:
For rent--Two rooms furnished
with a young widow"
Ie gods! The reporters brain be-
gan to reel, and in spite of himself he
began to wonder what the world is
coming to. lie had been raised in a
Christian community and his cultered
mind failed to grasp the sanctity of the
situation.
In despair he turned from the adver-
Using columns, and imagine the har-
rowed state of his feelings when he read
an account of a double murder, in
which 1t was stated that John Rice
was shot in the abdomen; the other
man was shot in the saloon next door,
And thus it runs throughout the var
louS exchanges and on the many signs.
One paper that was looked at conveyed
the intelligence that ~''several dogs were
shot in the West End" Not being
thoroughly familiar with the dog ana
tony, and totally W as to the
direction in which the dogs were head
ed, tile reporter cannot say whether get
ting "slot in the West End" was any
more fatal to their dogships than to be
shot in the head or neck.

breeding of horses is controlled by the
government, each stallion is furnished
with a certificate, and no other stations
are allowed to serve mares under a

made so by accident. A few years of
such restrictions would increase the
