The Summer Advertiser,

AS the planted tree grows while the
planter sleeps, SO does the live adver-
tisement continue its silent work while
the advertiser is away on his summer
vacation. Like interest, the ADVERTISE
ment never sleeps. The highest mer-
curry mark fails to sweat out it's innate
energy. All seasons are alike its own.
Think for a moment how it is read
over and over again on the deep hotel
piazza where men and women are
passing their idle hours, and how it
is discussed among them as if it were
sn affair Of the nation or an issue of
politics.
Suppose the business of actual pur-
chasing does fall off, that is no reason
why all things should not be made
ready for it's active resumption. And
that resumption is all the more sure to
begin with fresh impetus if the minds
Of the customer class are already pre-
pared through the prolific summer ad-
vertisement.
These truths from the Boston Press
and Printer are indelibly impressed
upon the mind of every live business
man. The progressive, wide-awake
merchant or manufacturer is liberal
| advertiser at all seasons and under all
circumstances.
The idea that some entertain that
| people don't read advertisements is
foolishness. They do read advertise
ments and they patronize those who
advertise most literally. A man who
don't advertise in this busy, bustling,
go-ahead age can not expect to COM
mand any large amount of trade. He
will be left away back in the rear by
his advertising competitors. durham

THE WORLDS FAIR.
A Few Points About Chicago
and How to Reach the Great
Western Metropolis.

As great many readers of the GOLD
LEAF will make their first visit to Chicago
and the great Worlds Fair during the
next few months, few pointers regarding
it in the shortest possible time over the
best and cheapest route, as we'll as the
most pleasant and picturesque as regards
the excellence of the train service and
beauty of the natural scenery, will be ap-
preciated at this time.
the fact that Lake Michigan forms the
eastern boundary of the entire city, and if
you stand facing the lake with both arms
Outstretched the left hand will point to
the North Pole and the right hand will
point straight down the tracks OF the Big
-Four route to the Worlds Fair buildings
situated at the southern end of the city.
Paste this in your hat and you have tin
key to the entire situation. Reaching Chi
cago on trains of the Big Four route, which
is the only railroad having an entrance on
the southern side along the lake front,
are located you will find yourself passing
practically through the Exposition Grounds
and magnificent panoramic view of the
fair is obtained.
At the Worlds Fair station of the Big
Four route, if you step off on the right side,
you are at the entrance gate to the Expo
sition, and can begin "dO;ng' the Fair at
once. If you step off at the left side you
will find Yourself in the finest residence
portion Of Chicago, and right in the midst
of the Worlds Fair hotel and boarding
house district. The chances are ten to one
you will be within few minutes walk
of the very place you have selected for
your headquarters.
If you prefer to 60 down town ten min
uteS' ride will bring you to the Twelfth
Street station in the heart of the city.
Now bear in mind the manifest advantage
of entering Chicago on the Big Four route.
In the first place you avoid entirely the
bother and trouble of tedious transfer
across the city, which is necessary via all
other lines. being landed directly at the
Exposition Grounds, an advantage offered
by no other line, and in the second place
you can so fix the geography of the city in
your mind that you will at once become as
| familiar with Chicago as you are with
| your own town.
Another point in favor of the Big Four
| route is found in the fact that if you enter
| Cincinnati Oh the Queen & Crescent route,
Louisville & Nashville Railroad, Ken
lucky Central Railway, Chesapeake &
| Ohio Railway or Baltimore & Ohio South
western Railroad, connection is made in
Union Depot, avoiding the disagreeable
| transfer necessary via all other lines. For

And cakes and ale as we turn the hay

What will there be when my ship comes

A Thankless Task.

An exchange gets off the following:
The preacher works for the souls of
men and generally gets his pay; the
merchant reaps his reward for toll
in profits from day to day; the banker
sits in his Office chair with his boxes of
cash to rent, and gathers a harvest
month by month, of vigorous eight
per cent; the dealer in sin stands be-
hind the bar and fills up the schooner
high, and jingles the tin that the boys
s:blow in'' for portions of good old
rye; tho lawyers and doctors find work
to do that brings in the hard cold cash,
and the men who WELD the plane or
spade find money to buy their hash;
but the editor has a thankless task as
the busy months roll by, and he knows
no rest of body or brain while he
misses the chance to die.

In relation to the recent discussions in

perience in the management of street rail-
ways, has written the following commune
cation to the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES:
SEATTLE, March 4, 1898
To TRE EDITOR: member of the city council
has informed me that some objections were
being made to the granting of extensions to the
street railway franchise.
1t seems to me that such opposition can come
only from those who have not studied the situa-
tion There need DO no sentiment in the matter
OF street railway franchises. shall, therefore,

amounting to $Al5950 Tho franchises provide
for license fee (after fvo years. OF SIS per car
per annum. There are 2l2 cars Some OF the
roads will soon be required TO commence paying
this license fee. We will assume that they are
all paying 1t now-2l2 cars at SIS, or s., 800.
This makes, with the taxes, -, $3.50 per year.
The city has no power to ada other special tax
The roads, therefore, have yet twenty -one years
to run on the above conditions The additional
income TO the city under the present franchises
will depend largely upon the increased number
of cars used. The companies arc now asking
the city to extend the franchises to fifty years,
and are Offering TO pay to the city. in addition
to the above tax and license, per cent OF the
gross earnings after ten years from the date OF
the extension and for i've years thereafter: IL
per cent OF the gross earnings after iiteen years
from the date of the extension aud for I've years
thereafter, and per cent after twenty years
from the date of the extension and during the
balance OF the life OF the franchise. This II an
