Pointer For Advertisers.

M. M. Gillian, the advertising man.
ager for John Wanamaker gives the
following advice to advertisers in
Printers Ink Of January 6; "Whether
big or little, the advertisement should
be persistent, Every day is the right
rule for general business and chang
ed every day. Hold up one phase or
another of it all the time. Make the
readers look to your announcements
as they look to news. Don't expect
them to always carefully read what you
say. They skip half the locals and
kilograms, maybe all but the head
lines. You can be sure Of glance,
at least-if you deserve it. Fill the
advertisement so full of hooks that the
glancer is likely to get caught. And
work for the women. That's the secret
of the greatest possible success in
general merchandising"

Queen Victoria's excessive prostra-
tion at the death of her favorite grand
son, Prince Albert Victor, is said By
London gossip, to be largely due to
the fact that the heir to the throne
and Princess May desired her sanction
to their engagement and early marriage
three or four years ago, which she re-
fused to give at the time Ifthe con-
sent had not been withheld the
Princess would have something
left to console her at the deathbed

Three Steps to a Scaffold.

Printed at the re luesc OF the W. c. T. IL
Three of my neighbors lay dead on
Dec 3rd, which was a strange and
rare coincidence in more WAYS than
one. The first case was member of
church, who had been a Sunday
School teacher for more than twenty
years. He was an exemplary citizen,
and voted the Republican ticket.
The second neighbor was Jacob Vail
mer, a saloon keeper. He KEEP, about
as orderly a tavern as any other H.
censed saloon keeper, when alive,
and did thriving business and was
rapidly getting rich. His house was a
great resort, and pitchers and buck
cts filled with beer could be seen com
ing and going. in the hands of men
and women from dawn to midnight.
The business was SO important that it
is alleged that one of his neighbors, a
clerk in one of the courts, used his IN
side influence to have the license
transferred to the widow few hours
after the owners death. The third
neighbor to leave the world was John
McManus, who was hung that morn
ing for murder. Bad though Nc
Manus was, he was the natural out
come of the saloon traffic He was
born in the slums, where the army of
fal,l" never gees. He knew nothing
but vice; it was all around him, and
he grew up with it. The licensed
saloon stared him in the face from
every side, and it was as easy for him
to fall into their open doors as it is
for young man raised on Walnut
street to enter the doors of the most
refined society. AS he walked to the
scaffold, carrying the uplifted crucifx
in his hand, the emblem of Cruel
fed Redeemer who died for John Nc
Manus, as well as for the Rev. Theo-
dore Cuyler, ID. d., he protested at
every step Of that awful march, from
the cell down to the gallows, that he
was drunk when he committed the
crime. He was drunk, men and
women of the land, and he got drunk
in licensed saloon, licensed by the
cate Of members of Christian
churches. These were my three
neighbors who lay dead in one day,
neither of them over two hundred
yards from me. Here lay the church
man who voted the licensed ticket.
Here lay the saloon keeper who took
advantage of the license, which was
granted because the churchman voted
that it should be granted. Las ly,
there was John McManus, the victim
of the licensed saloon, who, while
crazed with licensed rum, committed
4 murder and then in turn was legally
murdered by the State. And there
was another strange thing about it.
Each one of them had religious cere-
monies over their ashes. What think
you of my three neighbors Does
not the church member, the saloon
keeper, and the victim stand in close
relation in this peculiar instance ?
Have we not here the licensed voter,
the licensed saloon-keeper and the
licensed saloon victim?
