Boscobel DALI Rob Campbell, re-
siding in HanneY valley. Crawford
county, had some unpleasant experience
with a bull a few days ago. He was
building q fence on his farm when his
bull came over and charged on him on
the double-quick. He drove the animal
off with an ak but he returned again
and again to the chargein sucha blood
thirsty way that MIR. Campbell deter
mined to settle the affair with him then
and there. he went to the house, got
his revolver and few cartridges in his
hand and went back to the pasture.
The bull was waiting for him and
rushed into battle head down and tail
up. Mr.. G. tried hurriedly to slip q
cartridge in his revolver but the cham
bers of the cylinder were rusty and it
would not go in. lie took his knife
from his pocket and pushed on it when
the cartridge exploded, shooting off the
end of his thumb and frightening the
bull away. The gentleman soon dis
covered pool of blood on the ground
at bis feet. On examination he found
that the ball from the cartridge had
passed across his throat and cut deep
cash from which the blood was flowing
freely. His wife bound up the wound
and they drove to this city where a
surgeon soon set things TO rights. AT
last accounts Mr.. Campbell was doing
well and the bull still lives.

Several things have occurred lately
which should direct the attention of
thinking business men toward the sue
cess Of firms who have been known as
bold advertisers.
A short time ago the manufacturers
of Ivory Soap" Messrs Proctor &
Gamble sold out to a stock company,
and their proved statement showed that
the net profits of the business for the
past three years has averaged more
than S500,000 per year. No wonder
ivory Soap" floats.
A still more recent case is that of
Coates, Son Il Co.. the great thread
manufacturers. whose Telegraph and
circular advertising has covered the
face of the globe. In selling out the
private concern 10 a stock company the
profits sworn to have averaged $2.13
240 year for the past seven years; for
1889 they were S2,373.S75.
When the Royal Baking Powder CO.
was called upon to make a statement
in court of their profits they proved up
net profit of $4,000 for the year.
and this has no doubt increased during
the past two years.
Take the firm who make Allock' 5
Porous Plasters; it is said that this one
item nets a profit of $500, 600 year.
Suppose you are a jobbing drug firm
and you want to buy Allock's Porus
Plaster-you have got to have them or
your trade will leave you; no drummer
ever calls upon you to sell these plasters,
so you have to 60 and buy them your

you get to their office and apply at a

thing like the following occurs:
Customer-I would like TO buy large quantity
OF your plasters, and want the best prices.

Customer-But car load is too many.

be classed as items of necessary house

forty-six and one-half millions; of oats,

The remedies offered by Carter and
Mckinley for this state Of affairs are
simply farcical in their impotence. The
duty on corn is raised from 10 to Is

is your security? Where is NINE when
someone else makes his conveniences
more sacred, more powerful than the

PITY rather than condemnation
should be extended to the man who at
the age Of SO years, his long life having
been devoted to good works, is found
guilty Of horse-stealing. Not even the
pinchings of poverty would in his ear
lier years, it is fair to presume, have
impelled Rev. David s. Perry, of Brook
lyn, N. T., to such crime; but when
his mind was weakened and his sense of
right and wrong blunted by age, 1t is
not too much to say that his sin is a
