Dull Season Advertising.

The kind of advertising to be done in dull seasons is that which presents the most startling reduction in prices, the logic of which is all powerful and con- vincing. The experimenter along this line will find new faces attracted to his counters, who after they have once learned the way will come again. When a reduction in price on a certain line of goods is offered, you want to double or treble or quadruple your sales on that line in order to make the small margins aggregate a large profit. Thoughtful
 prudent advertising is, therefore, the key to the situation.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Spencer VIII Not Race in Naugatuck
 Untn the Other Race Is Settled.
 The Ansonia Sentinel says: The Nau- gatuck wheelmen who promoted the races there in connection with the Fourth of July celebration have awakened to a full realIz ation of their mistake in awarding the first prize in the nine mile to Hoadley, a Naugatuck man, who crossed the tape some little time after I. N. Spencer of the Ansonia Wheel club, had extricated himself from the wreck caused by the presence of a carriage on the track and crossed the finish line on foot, pushing his wheel. They refused to award Spencer the prize because he was not on his wheel when he finished, when every ruling on such matters has shown 1t to be the proper course to give such a wInper first place. The Naugatuck men have made a proposition to Spencer and Lango of Waterbury, who was also hurt, to have them run anotE CT race for prizes of the same value or more. Spencer, through his trainer, H. w. Owen of Ansonia, has refused unless they wIll settle the first race in a just manner. Lango concurs with him in this decision and the answer of the Naugatuck people is now awaited with interest.

A Young Boy at Freeport Makes Cap
ture of Cash and Then Disappears
for Parts Unknown.

There was quite an extensive case OF
larceny at Freeport the other day. A
boy named Justin Holmes, aged only Is
years. took $40 from Mr.. George Hoyt,

known. He bought ticket to Portland,
but here all trace of him was lost. The
authorities Of this city were notified, and
made a thorough search, but SO far have
found no trace of the fugitive. The boy
has quite passion for firearms, and it is

gun with a part of the money and used
the remainder to pay the expenses of a
hunting trip somewhere.
