But it is not alone in numbers that the great
increase OF advertising Is shown. The larger
space required for advertisements during the
year 1889 as compared with that occupied in
1888 is even more striking.
The average daily space filed by advertise
ments in 1888 was %. 10 columns, or 7779 columns
for the year; whereas for the year 1889 the daily
average was 2975 columns, or 9223 columns i'm
the aggregate, being total gain over the pre-
vious year OF 1444 columns! And this, il must
be remembered, consisted exclusively of the
ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing
in the way of tax sales poll lists, election returns,
ETC., such as occasionally swell the business Of
political organs, being included in its patron
age.
In conclusion, it Ia only necessary TO say that,

THE EVENING STAR is offered to the pub.
lie, in good faith and with confidence. as THE
BEST LOCAL ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN
THE UNITED STATES. In point Of fact, 10
may be truthfdlly said that it is without an
equal in this respect any where in the world.
These ayermeGts are borne out by the figures
given below, which compiled from the
sworn weekly statements printed in the paper
on each Monday in the year, and condensed
from the sworn tabular statements showing the
average daily circulation Of the paper during
the year 1889. published in Tex stan on the
18th Of January. 1890.

above claim is based are these: That

Where Did He Do His shopprng-

Tho (American) storekeeper nevel
says what a commodity is really
worth intrinsically or in his particular
market. but places its value about q
per cent. rel and above what he vii,
take for it and which is in turn about
25 per cent. over what he paid for it.
The bargaining which goes on in all
the provincial cities and towns is ex.
traordinary. The process is called
"Jewing down." and proceeds some
thing like this:
Scene: Store. Enter prospective
buyer, points laconically to article,
and loquitur; Say, what's this

cheap.

cents for it.

it's dirt cheap at a dollar; but-spit-
to~oning-Ill let yer have it for ninety

P. B.-That's quite ridiklousl How

ove about about a dozen articles and
then prepares TO leaves the storey
S.-Come now, yer shall have it for

P. B. examining article attentively,
but grunting the while. )-No, Stree;

I'll tell yer what 1 will do. I'll give
yer seVenty-flve cents-seventy-fve
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. not a red
cent more. What sayi
The storekeeper fires a bolt at the
nearest spittoon, shakes his head, and
turns to serve another customer.
Prospective buyer saunters around the
store, and eventually reaches the door.
At this moment the storekeeper calls
out:
Say, you can take that burned
thing; but come and see US again, will
yerfn
And so the compact is concluded.
Both are fully satisfied, and think
nothing Of the ten minutes they have
wasted, for both conclude they have
''bested" the other. This phrase
come and see US again" is the usual
farewell. 1 have had it said to me
scores of times.-Arthur Montefore in
Temple Bar.

Just at the corner of the street she

Kent felt decidedly uncomfortable.

muchi Pshawl it was unlikely.
He begged to be allowed to see her
to her correct car, but was firmly if po-
litely refused.
They did not meet again for several
days; then it was at the great wedding
of Ross Fielding's eldest daughter.
Kent had, as he had Dragged to his
friend, a lard to the house, and there,
in the midst Of all that was luxurious,
splendid and superb, he encountered
Willie Lestrand. In pale pink satin
and pearls, she was quite an entranc-
ing and exquisite vision
Il believe you young people know
each other" MIR. Fielding said, smil-
ingly, as he presented Kent. my
little girl here, Wilhelmina, got tho
notion in her head that our employees
were i'll treated and poorly paid, and
being beneficent to the degree of eccen-
tricity, vent up to the house of a rela-
tive in town, and from thence daily
proceeded to the store-mine, where,
unrecognized, she worked. She has
convinced me the pay is inadequate,
the accommodations insufficient, so
we are going to inaugurate a reform.
You, L believe, were very kind to her
while she was there"
Off he sauntered, leaving Willie
and Kent looking at each other.
What a pleasant surprised" he said.

He remembered.
He crimsoned hotly through very
shame.
Then, 1 suppose, there is no more

There is no more to say"
And she bent her pretty, high held
head and foated off.
Late-oddly enough it CHANGED
she came to know Tom Russell. And
not only to know him, but to love
him.
When he asked her to marry him,
she answered:
Yes"
And one day she told him of the
conversation she had overheard in the
street car.
