~ degrees above zero was the coldest last
winter, and about 90 degrees the warm
est last year. Our climate II good one.
WASTED Albany which
has net been doing vety much in the way
OF advertising itseif the past year or two.
viii get grain 81 comfort from the fol
lo@ing from the Salem Journal, ~ hlch
would Indicate that VIC have reaped iust
shout as much benefit: sIl seems that
Salema ammunition has been wasted, and
Ike the old revolutionary alngloek, kicks
hardest n the rear end. Before Salem
had salaricd secretary 81 the heard Of
trade, the city enjoyrd an lmmense tide Of
eastern immigration puFing the last six
months eastern advertising has not had
the eflee. l. formerly had. tho ths board
has bad the bencfit OF clerical service
eosliag oveI $1,000 year"
Las. year Salem made a contract With
Lord x Thomas, OF Chicago, for advertise
ing In Eastern papers. Il was supposed
that all was paid but 500. but Mr Wilson,
an agent. was present nj a meeting OF the
board Of trade and insisted that $500 was
due. The Journal SAYS that "by his Off
eious manners he assumed that The Salem
people did not know how 20 conduct an
ordinary business meeting or enterprise. .
Our experience Is that advertising agei.ts
want TO run The whole business themselves
and leave their customers a. much soup a.
possible.
The New Review, Of London, paid
Alfred Tennyson, the poet. SIo n word
Tor poem, Of which the following Is s65o
worth Of Il:
To sleepl to sleep!
The long, bright day Il done
And darkness risea from the fallen sun.
To sleep! to sIeepl
whaie'er thy joys, they vanish with the
whaleer thy griefs, in sleep they fad,
away.
To slcepl to sieepl
Sleep, mournful Heart, and let the pas, b,

sleep, happy sou. all life will sleep a

To sleep! TO sleep!
