EASILY WORTH A DOLLAR
A Simple Plan for Preventing Yourself
from Losing an Umbrella.


from Losing an Umbrella.
ST once answered an advertisement"
said Hugh Meadows to a GLo6e-Democrdt
man, (which offered, in return for 81
bill, to send an infallible remedy for the
habit of leaving ones umbrella behind
in Offices, and more especially IN vehi-
cles. As a money maker that advertiser
was distinct genius, for in response TO
my application and in return for my dol
lar, l received printed slip about four
inches by three in size, with picture OF
a man alighting from hack with an open
umbrella, which had got stuck fast in the
door. Below the picture. which 1t was
explained was purposely drawn out OF
perspective, were few lines explaining
that if man would once impress the
picture on his mind he would think OF 1t
every time he left vehicle or car, and
would be prevented thereby from leav-
ing his mbrelia behind. 1 was IN such
rage at being swindled, as l thought,
that the incident and illustration both
became photographed in my minds eye,
and to do the advertiser justice that dollar
has certainly saved me many dollars a
year in umbrellas.
"Ihe science of menmonics is very
peculiar one and few people understand
it. Years ago it was common To tie a
knot i'll ones handk erchief as reminder
OF anything, ana THIS plan has been I'M
proved upon from time to time. l have a
friend who always hangs his hat on one
peg in mis- office and has small brass file
just below the peg. By hanging loose
memos. on this file he can scarcely leave
the office without being reminded Of i'm
portant duties or engagements. Another
man, who has no clock in his office slips
memos. in his watch pocket, so that when
he looks 20 see if it is time to go home he
will also notice whether he has forgotten
anything. The only duty which no one
yet has been able TO remember or invent
a scheme for is mailing letter written by
ones wife. The number Of times a ra-
tional business man will carry letter
around in his pocket for over week. and
then sneak quietly out and mail it in the
corner letter-box, is something remarka-
BILE, and this unaccountable neglect of
husbandlike duty accounts for no end of
misunderstanding and broken friend
ships"

For a good and safe investment
and a sure future profit we feel
justified in again calling the atten-
tion of the public to those desira-
BILE home lots at Twentieth and K
and Twentieth and L streets.
These lots were at one time the
property of the old horse car COM
pany. They now belong to a pri-
vate party, who offers them in
subdivisions to suit, upon the
most favorable terms, and in order
that the great bargains may not
escape the eye of the public he
has asked us TO give our entire
space, for one week, to the adver-
tiSing of the lots. If any man or
woman wants a lot now or for
future purposes no better property,
no better location nor no better
terms could be found in Sacra-

The lots are all we claim for them
and the prices are very low indeed.

THERE is 4 HOME.
BY REV. j. VI. PUGH.

There is a home--'tis not on earth
In brighter realms for those who love,
Where sacred notes of heavenly birth,
Shall swell the songs of all above.
There is home for those who sigh,
For holier Joys than earth can give;
Where sacred pleasures ever nigh,
Shall ever triumph-ever live.
There is home for those who toll
Amid the dreary cares ftime;
place ofrest from earth's turmoil,
Found in happier, brighter cline.
There is home for those who weep,
Where tears of sorrow never fall
Where smiles of mercy ever keep,
Far, far away the sombre pail.
There is home for those who mourn,
Amid the sacred throng of heaven,
Where fragrant incense shall be borne,
On wings Of love, from hearts forgiven
There is home for those who pine,
Beneath a load of grief and pain,
Where clouds and tears can ne'cr combine
To crush the wounded heart again.
There is home fW those wlfb weep,
For loved ones lost from earth's embrace
Where sweet affections warm and deep,
They'll ever in their features trace.
There is home beyond our ken,
For those who feel dark sorrows night
Those weeping, signing sons of men,
Shall dry their tears in heavens Light
There is a home, 0 happy place
Where pain and grief can never reign
With hearts renewed in l,ve's embrace,
Long severed friends shall meet again
