JUDlcIous ADVERTISING.
WHY No Business Man Can Afford to Dis
uenB0 with 1t.

why No Business Man Can Afford to Dis.
pens0 with 1t.
People like to trade with prosper
GUS firm or business man. and there is
no more effective invitation that can
be offered TO the patronage of tho con-
sumer than flouris hing exterior. both
in business and personal matters. Tho
man who is out at the elbows and
down Mt the heels ceases to have tho
regard and interest of tho public. no
matter how deserving he may be.
This may not be very creditable to
human nature; but however little
poetry be embraced in tho statement,
1t is true. There is q sort Of convic-
ton in the mind Of tho public that
success is sign Of merit, and so. in
deed, it is. in q sense and to % certain
extent. So far as this impression goes.
and the results that follow it in its ap-
plication to business affairs. tho up.
pearance Of success is equal to that
which it indicates. and in this lies one
of tho secrets of liberal advertising.
Let the trade know that your business
is booming and keep that idea prom
inently impressed upon the minds of
the customers, and you will soon be
able to note how readily and even
eagerly Gus ON will seek the current
in which your business is supposed to
be carried along to success. The re-
suit is that you soon realize in fact all
that has, to some extent, been an as
sumption. The same rule holds good
for tho retail merchant in his cam.
paign for customers. With the
provident business man tho ques.
ton in these days is not whet ther he
can afford to advertise, but whether
he can afford not to advertise. 1t is
the rare case where business has
reached a degree Of safety and pros.
perity that can enable 1t to dispense
with this important means of promot-
ing trade. and even tifen it is always
at risk of falling behind. The next
worst thing to refraining from adver-
tising is to cease advertising after the
public have become accustomed to SEQ
your sign-board In the paper 1t at
once suggests tho suspicion that your
business is going down; that you can't
afford to advertise any more. ETC., and
the public mind is as quick to respond
to the promptings of such n suspicion
as this, rs 1t is to extend confidence
when sought by vigorous and effective
advertising. --Shde and Leather Re-

Terrible Adventure Of IN HnG11shman
with Band Of Dscoits.
Dacoits, If brought to bay, will not
hesitate to do their best to slay all
who impede their escape. A young
civilian was appointed assistant com.

where he was to reside he built bum

in which he lived with his servants.

for about nino months word came to
Tounghoo from the Bumese head man
or mayor Of the village to say that
Mr. Ellis had been seriously wounded
in an encounter with Dacoits, and that
all his Indian servants had beon killed.
A guard Of soldiers was requested to
be sent at once to the place. A de.
tachment accordingly was ordered to
tho village, accompanied by surgeon.
On arrival they found Mr. Ellis at tho
point of death from tho severe wounds
ho had received. Before he expired
ho made the following deposi-
tion: He retired ut the usual
hour on tho fatal night and was awak-
enod by hearing some one stumbling
over chair in his room. He ut once
grasped his revolver md sprang out
Of bed. calling loudly to his servants.
As usual. tho Dacoits--for 10 was q
party Of those gay gentry who had
paid him vlsit-nttcmpted to run of.
He. however. managed to soize one Of
the robbers around the waist and held
onto him, Notwithstanding all tho
struggles of the fellow to escape. Just
then his matey boy entered with q
lantern and exclaimed: Il know that
man, sahib!" At this juncure the
! comrades Of the robbor. finding that
one of their number was left behind.
returned TO the sceno and nt onco
proceeded to rescue him. After a
brief fighting, during which Ellis shot
two of the Decoiis. tho robbers gained
the advantage, having killed all tho
servants. who. however did not mako

about the body and ono arm was

who were shot, and were noycr again

ABOUT HOSPITALITY.
The Three Most Common Forms Prevailing
In Our Country.

The Three Most Common Forms Prevailing
In Our Country.
On q stormy evening last December,
the most fashionable square in one of
our great cities was crowded with car
riages. Mrs. Blank, leader of So
ciety, was holding weekly reception.
Her stately dwelling was thrown open
and blazing with light, masses of cost
ly flowers lined the corridors, the
orchestra was the best that could be
procured in the city, the banquet, as
usual, was magnificent. Mrs. Blank
had returned from Europe in the au-
''tumn. for brief visit of few months;
she was going back in the spring. She
knew scarcely any Of her guests, even
by sight, and as they came up in an
endless procession, bowed and passed
she felt as II she were playing part
in some wearisome pantomime. What
did these people care for her or she for
themp
A few blocks from the one in which
her house stood, was a quiet, modest
dwelling, whose windows also threw
welcoming gleam out into the night.
Inside, by q blazing fire, sat matron-
ly woman and gray-haired man with
q cheerful, benignant face. It was an
old minister and his wife. There were
guests always coming and going, who
sat for an hour beside the pleasant fire,
partOOk OF some simple fare, told their
tidings or their thoughts and plans to
their old friends, received some kindly
word OF cheer and counsel, and passed
on their way strengthened and helped.
Down in dark alley In the same
city, nameiess woman had opened a
room that winter, as refuge for the
homeless. It was clean, warm, we'll
lighted. There was hot soup, strong
and nourishing coffee, and thick, gen.
erous slices Of bread and butter. There
came to 1t every night crowd OF poor,
'friendless creatures, who had tasted no
other food that day. No other claim
to its comfort was necessary than want.
None Of those who were fed and
warmed by her bounty knew her name;
she never was gratified by the sight Of
their pleased, happier faces. She was
an invalid confined to one room for
years. and the money spent for them
was earned by her own labor.
These are the three most common
forms OF hospitality. Which Is the

STARVATION IN LONDON.


a System Of Food Distribution which 10
Doing Much Good.
Ono Of tho most active charities In
London Is that which provides food
for tho unemployed. aud Also for
laborors who are not allowed to loavc
tho docks. where they are busy. DUR.
Ing working hours. and who can pay
only the smallest possible sum for
what they eat Those who have work
are expected to give one penny for an
amount Of food which the unemployed
can obtain for a half.ponny, and 1t Is
estimated that the first sum. covers tho
actual cost Of the bowl ct nsurlshing
soup Of which q dotx.dsnnes consists.
This Is supplemental by SLIGO Of
pudding. when the applicant can
afford IN extra half ponnv.
A visitor at the place where the food
is distributed says that on q cold
spring day nine hundred and sixty
mon wero served from the food trucks
In less than an hour This took placo
after tho worst distress of winter
was over Said tho attend ant In
charge: "Wo are daily implored to
give food to mon who have had mono
for twenty-four or forty-eight hours. !"
"Pleaso, Two no money to-day"
said one poor fellow. Il know you
don't g,Vs tho food quite. because
. there'd be such a lot Of us II you did;
but will you take my matches. and lot
me have little for themP'
In tho midst of such bitter want, q
great deal Of brotherly kindness Is
shown by mon who feel that a starv-
ing comrades need is greater than
their own. A poorly-dressed man one
day gavo penny to two others. toll
ing them to buy soup aud pudding for
themselves. One of then, came TO the
truck. and asked for two slices Of
pudding.
"Why didn't you get somo soup.
instead of two pieces Of puddingp"
asked tho one to whom he had been
indebted.
Oh" was the answer. as he handed
ono slice to another man. chores n
chum Of mine who can got along with
o piece of this"
Aud the man who was thus helped
was seen. a few minutes after. divid-
ing his share with neighbor more
needy than himself
Last October IN elderly man. look
ing very white and thin, stood for
three days outside the gate. watching
tho others rs they ate thcir not stew.
On tho first day friend lent him a
penny, but on tho second no ono could
afford to repeat the loan. and on tho
third the man fell to the ground
exhausted. Ho had boon reduced
by starvation to tho lowest
point Of human endurance. and
actually died on the spot
where he hoped to be fed. Punctually

q little food in their basins for the
poor animals, besides breaking off n
bit of pudding for anxiously-wat ching
children. Ono day the atten dant was.
MS usual collecting two basins Of
serapings. one for the black cat and
one for the white. when he saw lean.
