Mr. Almon Stuart who was run over by the

How to Make an AID Interesting.

The great desire of the advertiser is to have
his ads read and not only read. but looked for
and enjoyed. Nearly all modern advertisers
believe in frequent changes to keep alive the
interest of the public. and to be read they must
be interesting. A good example of this form OF
advertising are the Atkinson ads which seldom
appear in our daily papers more than twice In
succession Their ad this morning, BY the way,
will interest all our readers.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

George F. Taylor, the famous rider of the Manhattan Athletic and Springfield Bicycle clubs, has again lowered the worlds mile bicycle record to 2:11. Ths is four seconds lower than Windle's time for mile (2:15), and within g seconds of the fastest mile made by trotter, that of Maud s., queen of the turf, being 2:0844. Taylor made the mile on a Columbia safety at Hampden park, Springfield, last week Wednesday.
 LAWSUITS OVER MINoE PIE-The latest phase of the famous mince meat litiga- tion which has occupied the attention of the courts and the public for the rast five years, is the announcement of Merrell & Soule, of Syracuse, N. Y., the manufac- turers of the celebrated None Such brand of Condensed Mince Meat, that they have effected settlement with the owners of the patent, by which they and their cus- toners are exempted from all further share in the litigation, or claims for dam ages. The arrangement also provides fu- ture immunity to Merrell & Soule in the manufacture and sale of their None Such brand.
 This is good news for mince pie lovers everywhere, who can now eat their None Such pies in peace. This brand has all ways beenta decided favorite wherever in troduced; and the further fact that it can now>be handled without the risk of the legal compile ations which attaches to the other makes, will doubtless add very largely to it's already large sale.

Everybody knew the story; how Allan Drewry, when about to commence his medical studies, had, by his unconquer- able disposition to "fun and filtration" gotten himself into a serious scrape with a lady of uncertain age, who unfiinchingly claimed to be his promised bride; and how her determined, middle-aged brother had discovered him in his vacation retire. ment at Middleton, whence he had es- caped at moments notice, leaving his effects to be forwarded by the sympathiz- ing landlord, whom he had taken into his 
 Among these effects was a certain skel- eton, which the embryo medical student had filched from the dilapidated grave of some person unknown, in an ancient and neglected burial ground near the village. Christopher Slocum had been afraid to send this on with the rest of the "effects," and had hidden the box in the Rowan cellar, lightly covered over with earth, awaiting the students orders for safe special conveyance. But he had never claimed the bones; and there they had lain until their unfortunate discovery, quarter of century after.
 It was wonderful how pleased people were at this late revelation of Chris Slo- cum's innocence, and his sons and grand sons freedom from the stigma which had weighed so heavily upon them. As to the revenue offense of poor Chris, folks might wink at that. So they hastened to make all the reparation in their power for the injustice they had been guilty of; and Joe's and Bessies wedding was quite grand affair for Middleton.
 "It's always best to let other folks consarns alone, and mind you1 own," is the moral now carefully inculcated by Solomon Slocum upon the tender minds of his grandchildren.

THE PRESIDENT.

Looking over the list of presidents one trast between the longevity of those of early times and the comparatively short lives of the recent presidents. Atpresent there ale living only two ex-presidents, General Hayes and MT. Cleveland. When John Quincy Adams was inaugurated all his predecessors except Washington were living, and though not young man when he died the first president would probably have lived to a great age if he had not been killed by treatment of disease which would have been not very serious in these days. The early presidents had their perplexities which seemed consider able to them, but which were light in comparison with those which are imposed upon the chief executive of the presi- dency. Washington was president of country not nearly so rich and not of population so great as the single state of New York in 1899, and territorially less than half of the imperial domain of the United States. The wear and tear of the office was proportionately small, and there are thousands of business men who are compelled to work harder than the early presidents found it necessary to do. There is no monarch and no prime min- ister in any country in the world who has the multiplicity of important duties which are devolved upon the shoulders of the president of the United States. The mere matter of appointments to office .is as
 much as one man can attend to properly, and yet if he makes mistakes he receives no consideration at the hands of oppo- party. Of late years the president has to make an average of 4I appointments a day, and how he is to acquaint himself with the merits of all these people is an unsolved mystery. It is proposed that he shall be relieved of the appointment of
 what are called the presidential post masters, that is those whose salaries are
 5000 and over, and that these should be made by the postmaster general. At any rate it ought to be made easy enough so as not to kill off the incumbents if they attend to their duties.

The New York Herald says: ;:

"A man who hires another man at $60 a month to do work which brings him only $61 a month is a philanthropist. But if he hires 10000 men at the same rate he has an income of $20,000 a month, and is a blasted monopolist.'
 Some consider Andrew Carnegie one of the latter, but Rockville has men who have made money faster, in proportion to the size of their business, than Carnegie, and nobody finds fault. A carpenter once stated that the profits from his men were three dollars per day. Doubtless he had about a dozen men under him. It is con- sidered fair for carpenter or other em- ployer to charge twenty-five cents day profit on each man. Now if said carpen- ter could legally or morally take three dollars profit from twelve men, who shall say that he would not be justified in re- ceiving the same ration on 10000 men. It will be seen that this sum even, with a reasonable per cent. for money invested, ,, would, in successful business, enable a man to donate libraries, parks, etc. Rockville Lender.

 keeper say to her husband "Send that
 fellow home; it is late." ''No, never
 mind," replied her husband, Che is shing-

 in the mind of the dr,nkard and he did
 not return to the saloon for six months. When passing thd saloon-keeper in the street, the latter said: "Why don't you come round to my place any more ?" "Thank you for your kind hospitality"
 replied the former victim; "I have been shingling my own roof lately"

A manufacturer in Philadelphia lately told to a friend the story of one of his superintendents
 Twelve years ago boy applied to me for work. He was employed at low wages. Two days later the awards of premiums were made to manufactories at the cen- tennial exhibition.
 Passing down Chestnut street early in the morning saw Bob boring over the bulletin-board in front of newspaper of fee. Suddenly he jerked off his cap with shout.
 "'What is the matter?' some one asked. ? 'H'We have taken medal for sheet ings.' he exclaimed.
 "I said nothing but kept my eye on Bob. The boy who could identify him. self in two days with my interest would be of use to me hereafter.
 "His work was to deliver packages. l found that he took real pride in it. His wagon must be cleaner, his horse better fed, his orders filled more promptly than those of the men belonging to any other firm. He was as zealous for the house as though he had been a partner in it. l have advanced him step by step. His for tune is made, and the firm have added to their capitol so much energy and force."
