The hotel man wanted his money, and
il looked bad for the circus. as there wers

circus owned its own cars and carried on
the outside of them big advertisements,
telling of the wonders of the show Soon
the advertising Iaan shared this space
with his friend, the circus man. and the
big poster divided its praise between the
tobacco and the show.
1t is asserted by the tobacco man that it
was in this way that freight cars began
to be used for billboards. The theory of
the value of advertising on the side o.
freight cars is that when people see

Germs furnish to persons desiring TO send
out circulars lists Of prospective customers
For instance, some one may have devised .
new surgical instrument, which the paten-
tee o. manufacturer desires to have known
TO the surgeons CT the country. The ad
dressing agencies have complete lists and
can easily bring the attention of the PRO-
session TO the article
The same is true of dry goods. hardware,
notions or almost any other conceivable
line Of merchandise. The business las
grown in recent years. and so one is al
most excusa5le for expecting the concerns
20 be able 20 supply anything IN the line
of addresses. - thought man who in
vented an artificial leg not long ago. tie
wanted lists of all the one legged men in
the country and was very much disap-
pointed at not being able 10 secure them.
Demands have been made in the same
way for lists OF one eyed men, in order 20
bring their attention TO new glass eye;
OF persons committed 70 insane asylums
who have been discharged IS sane, and n
variety Of other impossible requests have
been preferred. Tho lists are matie up In
all sorts of ways. from club lists. city di-
VICTORIES, business directories. clergymen's
yearbooks, college catalogues, medical
registers, pension lists and scores Of other
sources O. information.
This will explain how IL is that a man
often receives circulars from sources that
seem almost mysterious - him. He Won
ders how the person ever hit upon his
name, but it Is an easy matter 20 under
stand when once the magnitude OF the
"addrcssing" business is known. The pol

lists of political clubs, which fact Is taken
advantage of during an exciting campaign

they have been perpetual repro2cn TO
me. Now l am again engaged to a gen.
tleman friend What should l do:''
Ineed hardly write you, ''Timid One, /"
that you have no claim ON the name of
your intended at the present time. You
did very wrong before in utilizing the
name of your betrothed, and possibly he
heard of it in some way, fleeing like .
bird to the mountains when he got the
| Information. Possibly he feared that
| you might be running up little accounts
| at the stores in his name also.
You should remember that a good
name is rather to be chosen than great
riches, but you must not help yourself
to it until the parson has given you per-
mission.
''Timid One" also asks in postscript
| whether it is proper or not for her TO
ask her intended TO break off some bad
habit before they are married Certain
~ you might try it, but you will have
to be the judge of how much influence
you have at this stage of the game. 1t
might be well to ask him TO break off
stealing horses or any other noticeably
bad habit, of course, now while you are
both in the heyday Of bloom and fluff
Of life's young morn, but you always
run the chance Of arousing his Ill temper
and prejudice. You must be yourself the
judge of this. Some young girls under
such circumstances also pave the way
for criticism and are little nonplused
to be asked if they will not break off
bad habit, such as saucing their moth
ers Or allowing their fathers to go look
ing sad and seeGy in order that the
warm weather and run up tall laun-
dry bill while the old gentleman wears
a colored shirt for economy.
Judge not, that We be not judged, is
one of the best maxims that Shakespeare
ever got off, ''Timid One, :" and you will
do well to remember it all through your
life, which seems to be opening so aus
piciously.
Some grooms are glad TO have their
errors pointed out TO them seven or eight
times per day, while others are little
sensitive about it. / cannot give you
advice without knowing the person quite
well. For my own part, 1 make
speciality Of pointing out the shortcom-
ings of others and shrink from criticism
myself almost invariably. Mark your
clothing with your own name and go
easy ON your criticism for the first six
weeks at least. A girl friend of mine
had her clothes marked in singular
way before her marriage. She became
engaged to petted and spoiled darling
whose parents were wealthy, and she
had promised to marry him in order to
reform him, for he was sort of rouey,
as the French say. One evening he call
ed upon her as she was just returning
from a seaside resort, and in q playful
mood he shot twice through her Sara
toga trunk, which stood near the door,
packed for the journey. Then he pointed
the weapon at her, but she hit it with
her parasol and knocked it out of his
hand. In falling it was exploded, and
the ball passed through his person just /
below the cigarette pocket
She went home and patched the places |
where the bullet had marked her trous-
seau and lives cheerfully with her par
ents now, while Ger his sudden grave 1

a Slight Error.

A young actress who is as we'll
known for her literary work as her his
trionic talent had a rather embarrass-
ing experience recently.
She had promised an article for the
next issue of New York dramatic pa
per and was little late in writing it.
The editor, becoming somewhat alarm
ed lest 1t should not be ready, as adver-
tised, for his Christmas number, wrote
her note asking if it would surely
come on time She replied with a tele-
gram: 81 am thinking. do not want
You TO get worried "
BY the next mail she received a spe-
cial delivery letter from him. 81 can
make neither head nor tail of your in
COMPREHENSIVE telegram. What do you
mean by i am thinking / do not want
you TO get married. Boston Budget
