By far the most important effect of
advertising is one of an Indirect ma
ture. 1t conveys an intimation that
the party-pretending or not pre-
tending, quackish or not quackish-
is anxious for business
One who is anxious for business is
unavoidably expected to be an in
dustr.ous, attentive, civil person who
keeps the best of articles at the low
est rates, does everything in the neat
est and most tradesmanlike manner.
and in a general way uses every ex-
pedient to crafty and attach custo'
merS
People like to purchase under such
circumstances, and the system OF ad'
yertising assuring them that such
circumstances exist at this particular
shon they select it accordingly.
Such are the opin ons OF an old ex-
perienced tradesman, and they are
certainly supported by fact for where

A Fable Of Two Brothers.

A certain man was hanged, that
he died. And he left two sons, hon
est men.
Now one of the sons was a black
smith. But the other became ply
Sician.
And after that their father had
been taken from them, these broth
ers made their homes in other lands
And the blacksmith would have
prospered. But it befell that one
asked him how his father made end.
And the blacksmith, looking angrily
upon him, answered: "He was
hung" For the blacksmith was an
| honest man.
Howbeit, presently, when a horse
was missing. men gathered and
hanged the blacksmith, saying:
'sThis man must take after his
| father" So the blacksmith did take
after his father; but whether he
caught up with him the tale telleth
not.
And at the same time, in his own
city, one inquired of the physician
by what means his father died. And
the physician covered his face and
wept
But while he wept he considered,
saving within himself: "1f / say, he
was hanged then shall l shock this
man and give him pain; and it is my
Office to relieve pain. Nevertheless,
l must tell the truth" "
He said, therefore: 'My father
died of heart failure" And again he
wept, the questioner weeping with
him.
Then, this being told, men said
"Doubtless, since his father died o
heart failure, this good physician anC
loving sou hath made study of kin
dred diseases" So they resorteC
unto him.
And the physician became a spe
cialist. And be looked at them Wh'

at the time, and had letter from
the manager of a mining company
authorizing me to look over their

tribution of beer money. When

A Swimming Monkeys Franks.

Monkeys. as is we'll known, are like
cats in dread of getting wet, says the
Youths Companion. On sh1pooard
I have often laughed to see them
scampering from a heavy spray as it
dashed over the deck or huddling to-
gether under the lee of the long boat
during a passing shower. But on the
ship Euphrates we had a monkey
that was actually fond Of swimming.
One day while We were anchored IN
the roadstead of Cape Coast castle,
on the west coast of Africa, the pas
senpers were seated under The avn
ing looking at some jewelrV that had
! been brought on board by the natives
| and offered for sale. The captains
wife had very rare ring made OF
African gold and engraved with the
signs of the zodiac. 1t had been
. brought to her as an engagement
ring by her husband, and was the
dearer to her from the fact that he
had been wrecked and picked up at
sea with it on his ti1ger. One OF the
lady passengers who had been look
inc at the ring and whose attention
was attracted by some of the native
ieWelry, placed it on the cabin sky
light beside her. The next moment
our pet monkey jumped on the sky
light, seizing the ring and putting 1t
in his mouth, jumDed on the main
deck and ran forward. Instantly
everyone was on his feet chasing the
monkey. 1t ran from one end of the
deck to the other, and then cllmCed
aloft Some of the sailors went VI
and drove it down again. When ii
reached the railing of the DulWark:
, it paused and looked around. The
sailors were fast closing in on it, anC
