CORPORAL TANNER is still indignant.

IT seems platitude to remark that it IS wonder that more Americans do not go down and explore those South American countries in search of fortune. The vast fortunes that are wasting down there, just lying idly waiting for claimants are something wonderful, if we may take any stock in the wonderful tales that have been written and speeches rehearsed about those regions. Un- fortunately the opinion prevails too strongly to be easily overcome that the adventurous seekers after wealth in those attitudes will not live long enough tounpack their trunks and pack up again. The climate may be delightful and all that, but as long as people have the i'm pression that the reverse is true they will not go down there. A case in point came to notice recently, when a gentle man engaged in the hide and leather business in Boston was offered a posi- tion to go to Buenos Ayres under a five years contract at a guaranteed salary of $15, ,OOO per year and commissions which would probably net him $5,OOO more.
 Yet he refused the offer, preferring to remain and to take his chances in Boston on his income of less than $3,OOO year.

This suggestion comes with a comical force from a queen who, by calling upon the state for appropriations to support her numerous children and grandchildren as fast as they have ap- peared, has confessed inability to sup port her own family.

To be profitable, advertising of what ever kind must be backed up by facts and every promise carried out with earnest fidelity, else all the newspapers and all other methods he may employ will not avail in building up dishonest merchants business. We assume there fore, that when you advertise "what you'll do you'll do as you advertise" otherwise you might just as well throw so much money in the fire. Newspapers do not contract with a merchant to sell for him certain articles or lots of mer- chandise, but simply to advertise-''to make known'-to their readers that you say over your signature, that you have this certain article or stuff for sale at certain prices. If you make false state ments the newspapers are not to blame that the public, after being misled few times, take no further stock in your an nouncements. You simply are at fault and you are self-convinced that you cannot fool all the people all the time"
