The Power Of Advertising.

"A noble of high standing in st. Pc
tersburg made a bet that by advertising
the merest nonsense he could get money
sent him from all parts of the empire.
He inserted an advertisement in the
papers that for the sum of one ruble he
would forward the sender powder
which, if put in luke warm water,
would breed dozen of chicks. Rubles
were sent to him by the thousand. He
won the bet, but he had to pay an
equivalent in returning the ruble to
the senders and giving them q piece OF

poor that they required help from the

several years he, too, was supported by
contributions from relatives and the town
fathers. The current belief was. He will

That was twelve years ago. Today he
can draw his check for $500, 900, and unless
indications are amiss will be a millionaire
within five years. He is one of the leading
shoe manufacturers in Brockton, Mass,

his own endeavors. He has made a pres

sires to express their sincere thanks

the Congregational church in this

services Oh Sunday, May oath. Your

are authorized by the old soldiers to
say that they were more than pleased
with the able discourse, and sincerely
hope that the worthy pastor may be

descendants, the noble young sons of

Decoration Day in Morris.

Our village was nearly depopulated
last Saturday. Everybody, accompa-
MED by their uncles, aunts and grand
mothers. went to Morris to attend the
grand decoration services, We do not
feel competent opresent TO our many
readers an adequate description OF
the varying panorama as it passed be-
fore us on that day. Arriving i'll Nor
ris we were driven to The Morris no
tel, where we were received by the
gentlemanly proprietor of that splen-
did house i'll courteous manner. AS
it was nearing the hour for dinner, we
made the supreme effort of our life in
trying to make ourself presentable at
the table. That is, we washed our
face and hands and tried to comb our
hair. When we had finished our toll
ct we marched into the spacious dim
ing hall with that stately grace, so
natural to Us when we are away from
home, and sat down in chair at one
of the tables marked private OF
course we did not know what that
meant, but supposed it was for some
distinguished guest, and being aware
that we belonged to that class, we
gracefully accepted the situation, and
the fight became general all along the
line.
We must say that we were richly
repaid for our visit to Morris. Every
one we have spoken with since we re-
turned says, 'What a splendid time
We had i'll Morris" Everything was
gotten up IL first class style and every
one seemed happy, Some OF our Sons,
accompanied by their best girls, were
OF the opinion that the day was too
short, SO they stayed all night. The
old saying that boys will be boys was
exemplified in their case, but we can't
say that we blame them very much.
We were royalty entertained while
we were there, for which the people of
Morris have our sincere thanks. Hop
ing that we may be allowed to join
with the good people of Morris on
many occasions of the kind before we
are mustered out, is the heartfelt wish
of your very many sincere friends of
this village.
