OLD BROWN IS DEAD.
OLD BROWN Is DEAD.


Say, did it ever strike you that it was
not very easy job to write up an adver-
tisement and have "A good headline so as
to make it look startling? Now, am in
the same boat that Mrs. Brown was after
the death of her husband. She wanted
to do little advertising, or rather have
a ''vendue" or auction sale of the per-
sOnal property of her deceased husband.
So she went to the editor of the village
paper and informed him that she wanted
to get few thousand posters and she
wanted him to suggest some startling
headline. So he suggested "a Great
Auction Sale" or, Goods at Auction
Cheap" but that would not do Mrs.
Brown. So the editor proposed to her
that she, perhaps, could think of some
thing more appropriate and startling
SO at last happy thought struck her
and she suggested these words for a
startling headline: "Hurrah. hurrah
Old Brown is Dead Old Brown is Dead"
and the editor sand that was gust the
thing. So we say, "Hurrah. Hurrah
Hard Times are Dead.' and Trade is

In the army. with its vague and few
and distant rewards. there may be and
there are rivairics in devotion and dar-
ing, but there is no competition for
place and money as there is in civil
life; and yet the soldiers ideal being
duty, tho performance of duty seems
sufficient. 1t is u state of things which
can suggest much to those who arc fond
of battling the hope of better things in
us with the assertion that it is contrary
to human nature to act from any but
interested and selfish motives. Human
nature is "a great mystery, and we have
not yet begun to solve it, but it appears
that number of men drawn at ran
dom from society, and trained to a be
lief in duty as the cliief good, will keep
on not only living it but dying it.
We civilians talk much, We almost
talk solely of our rights. but in the
army it seems that men talk chiefly of
their duties. when they talk at all, and
never of their rights. These things are
true of all ranks; the ideal is the same
from the private to the general, and it
seems to correct all the mistaken ten
denotes of the time before they became
soldiers. Dean Howells in
