n OES advertising pay? You are oi'eh
puzzle over this problem Some
times you think it does, and then again
you are not certain.
There are days when an attractive ad-
vertisement just packs" your store
with trade, and inquiries come dribbling
in for month afterward for articles
advertised that day. But some days
the advertisement seems to fall fiat II
is on these days that your faith grows
shaky, and if you do not doubt the util-
ity of advertising you blame the card,
If you write your own advertisements
and lose confidence in yourself, you had
better employ some one who makes ad-
vertising his special business.
TO write an original advertisement,
every day in the year, on the same
never-changing theme, is very much
like taking ten yards of dress goods and
making a new and entirely different
dress of it 300 times in succession. 1t
takes a clever head to do either. He
must see the store side of the advertise
ment and the customers side of it, the
one as clearly as the other. Unwise adj
vertisihg can pull down trade and eX-
haust your finances more rapidly than
good advertising can build up the one

Remember there are other stores, just
as good as yours, who sell at equally
low prices. Your only advantage-and
it is yours if you take it's to have
better advertising than they This does
not necessarily mean larger advertising

If you cannot spend $1,000 a week in

charged with having committed bur-

Meckler was formerly employed by
Donohue, but was discharged. When
Donohue entered his saloon at o'clock
. yesterday morning he found the place
flooded with whiskey, which flowed from
the open faucet of a forty-gallon whis-
key barrel. An entrance had been forced
by the side door.
Donohue at once suspected that 1t
was the work of Meckler, and reported
his suspicious to the police of the West

\ Bauer was assigned to the case, and
four hours later found Meckler in a

I did"

Barrett's Wife in New York Little
:, Dreamed He Was Burglar.
But the Truth Came Out After His
Arrest for Murder.

BOSTON, Oct. l5.-Investigation by
Syetectives has brought to light the fact
that william Barrett, now locked up
in the Cambridge jail, charged with the
murder of Constable James Farrar of
Lincoln, Mass. last May, led strange
double life. In New York City he sup
ported a wife and child in style, and
represented to them that he was a
dealer in driving horses, while the
evidence secured by the police leads to
the conclusion that he was also a pro-
fessional burglar. His family he main

Lincoln. Farrar was awakened, and,
with his brother and several neigh
lowing the footprints of the thief's rub

they came across Barrett in the woods
near Cherry Brook and attempted to
arrest him.
In the struggle which followed, Bar
rett shot and killed James Farrar. He
= was captured, however, and on his per-
son was found a complete burglars kit
as well as rubber tennis shoes, such as
the thief who entered Farrars house
must have worn. Property which had
been stolen from other houses In the
vicinity a short time before was also
found in his possession.
1t now turns out that Barrett's real
name is William Bassett, and the police
~iaim that he has been professional
burglar for some time. When his wife
discovered the truth, recently. she left
