Failures in Advertising.

Some one who has been considering
business management in connection
with advertising has chronicled a list
of thirteen failures which will be read
with interest:
Advertising fictitious bargains is a
failure.
A small business and large expense
is failure.
Night trade is failure.
Two prices is failure.
A low price in the window and high
price in the store is failure.
Old styles and condemned fabrics (no
matter how cheap are failure.
Shoddy clothing advertised and sold
as wool was a failure.
Cheap and inattentive statesmen (hir-
ed on commission) are failure.
Bargains in the newspapers and apol-
ogies in the store is failure.
Large profits and small sales is a
failure.
Running down your competitors is
failure.
Advertising goods Eat less than cost
all the year around is failure.

A playwright often makes his play

Habitual onion eaters never die of

When men are condemned to be ex-
ecuted, for some time previous to the
fatal day they seem to be given to
sportiveness. However, there is one
pastime in which they are not permit
ted to indulge, and that is skipping the
rope.
"a briefless barrister is a s-centless
rose" says an exchange. This must be
one of the posies to which Gilbert al
luded when he wrote

Have nothing to do with the case"

enough to make first-cass diplomat"
said Blumer to his friend. "How do

The man who handles the local de-
partment of newspaper learns, after
que experience, not to expect even
briefly expressed thanks for a column
of pleasant things, but he knows as
surely as cometh the winter, that a line
in which there is single unintentional
misrepresentation, will cause someone
to be heard from as if on a house top.
But he gets used to it.
1HE HUNTER AND HIS LIFE.
The Jolly hunting days have come,
The nOisiest of the year,
When would-be nimrOds with their guns
And dogs. In fields appear.
The hunter tramps through many field,
Through meadow and through bog,
He sees at last "A little bird,
And kills, instead, his dog.
The weary hunter hOmeward turns,
And vows with humOr grim,
i've got no game the dog is dead;
I'll blame il all on him."
The bird lives OH, the dog is dead,
The hunter frames his lie,
Till a rail fence fires the shotgun of 90
You'll meet him by-and-by.

doubt, the finest and ablest

III the State. President Macune
said it was the finest body of
farmers lie had ever seen any
where. 1t far suspassed in in
tclligence and stamina any leg
isIature we have seen at Raleigh
But this is easily understood
when we remember that a cOun-
ty'S best men often cannot get
nominated or elected to the Cen
eral Assembly, for the various
classes that wish to get special
legislation for their own private
advantage, fight and defeat,
whenever they can, any man
who will not be their servant
and tool. Not So in selecting
delegates to the State Alliance,
In this case some of the best
men III every community were

prevent it. Would that all oul
officers could likewise he select

There is Il great deal Of hum
huggpry and extravagant waste
Of money connected with the
public printing. Every year
there are thousands Of expensive
books sent out free by the Gov
eminent that are never read.
Ten thousand pages of testimO-
ny has just been printed at the
pcople's expense over one CON
tested congressional election.
If the law had required even
onc-teath of the amount to be
paid by the contestant the testi-
mony would never have been
printed. The expense in our
State printing could also be cur
tailed. The laws Of 1889 are
contained in IL large volume.
The House and Senate Journal
are each printed in volumes
equally as large, and therefore
ut treble the necessary expense.
The Journals are almost worth
less, the laws are all the people
want.
