When Advertiving is Wanted.

There's nothing on earth 50 mystic
riously funny as a newspaper adver-
tisement. The prime, first last and
all the time object of an advertise
ment is to draw custom. 1t is not,
was not and never will be designed
for any other human purpose. So the
merchant waits till his store is so full
of customers that he can't get his hat
off, and then he rushes to the news
papers and puts in an advertisement.
When the dull season gets along, and
there is no trade, and he wants to sell
goods so bad he can't pay his rent, he
takes out his advertisement-that is,
some Of them do; but occasionally a
level-headed merchant puts in big
ger one, and scoops all the business,
while his neighbors are mortgaged to
pay the gas bill. There are times
when you couldn't stop people from
buying everything in the store If you
planted cannon behind the door,
and that's the time the advertisement
Is sent on it's holy mission. 1t makes
| light work for the advertisement, for
a chalk sign on the sidewalk would
do all that was needed and have a half
holiday six days in the week; but who
Brookings register. (Brookings, S.D.) 1890-1894, 1894-10-12

wants to favor an advertisement?
They are built to do hard work, and
should be sent out in dull days, when
customer has to be knocked down
with hard facts and kicked insensi-
BILE with bankrupt reductions in prices
before they will spend cent. That's
the aim and end Of an advertisement,
and il you ever open store, don't try
to get them to come when they are
already sticking out of the windows,
but give them your advertisement
right between the eyes in the dull
season, and you will wax rich and own
fast horse, and perhaps be able to
smoke good cigar once or twice a
week. Write this down where you
fall over it every day. The time for a
merchant to draw business is when he
wants business, and not when he has
more business than he can attend to
already.-Ex.

long battled.
Mrs. Thomas, of Albion. Mich,
state superintendent of the depart

also present, and in her interesting
outline of the work being done in
Mich, aroused real, heart interest
and strong feeling in favor of this

tain passage Of scripture? Because
the Bible says "the poor we have al
ways with u.s." and there is every in
dication that Shep will be in the same
boat so far as his ever being elected
to office is concerned.
Prof. Gjertson, who spoke here a
short time ago, made the following
quaint remark about the tariff: II do
not know but what you can buy an
American pitchfork in Norway cheap
er than you can here, but / do know
that a Norwegian will come to Amer
lea and in three years be able to send
money to Norway and bring over his
brother, pitchfork ard all" The
moral is, that while the American
may pay little more for what he
uses than his brother in the old coun-
try he makes enough more so that he
can well afford the extra expenditure.
A personal campaign is not always
the best but we ask you to compare
Hon. j. G. Allison with his opponent
as men, and then their past records
and see which is the most liable to be
trustworthy. Can man, who does
not know enough to make success Of
his own business, be trusted to run
that Of the state? Does it stand to
reason that man who has been work
ing for Office for years wants that Of
| fee for the honor there is in it? S.
Ell. Goodfellow is chronic on this ques-
tion and has neglected everything else
| in his race for office. 1t has been his
dream and ambition TO get living
without work and he calculates that
one term in. the state senate will give
him fair start, and he won't get it
out of his salary either.

What he Looks For.

Huronite: Cheapness Of living is no
indication Of prosperity. When the
workers are able to live well, they live
well, and when they live well it costs
something, and when the common
people are able to use costly things
it makes trade good. The energetic
and intelligent worker never takes the
map and looks for a place of cheap
living. He looks for place where
labor is constant and well paid,

To THE PoPULIsT CENTRAL CON-
MITTEE OF BRooKINas COUNTY,
Your published challenge under date
of Sept. 28th, 1894, proposing the
meeting Of certain candidates, on the
Republican and Populist tickets to
discuss the present political issues,
has come to the notice of this COM
mittee. Replying we would say that
while we are not disposed to believe
that the usefulness of a nominee as a
legislator should be altogether based
on his ability to talk against time"
(Which by some is mistaken for max
ing an argument), nor that the claims
OF another as an educator should
oblige him to hold a first grade certi-
ficate as political campaign orator;
still we are inclined to go yet farther
and propose that all the nominees for
the legislature meet in series Of dis
cussions the time to be divided equally
between them. We would also add
Of this committe no position on the
batter and logical speaker as that Of
States Attorney; we would therefore
propose that arrangements be made
for Philo Hall the Republican nomi-
nee and j. G. Jenkins the Populist
nominee for said position to hold a
series of debates in the principal vot-
ing places in the county, during the
campaign. Looking toward such an
arrangement this committee is pre-
pared to meet the Populist Central
Committee to arrange as to the time
and place for such discussions.

Mummy Wheat.

The belief in the vitality of mummy wheat is so persistent that it probably will not be overthrown by the result of careful tests on Lord Winchelsea's farm.
 Every visitor to Egypt is besought by the Arabs to buy wheat which is de- clared to be . veritable portion of the grain Joseph stored in Pharaoh's gran. aries, but which are really gathered in the nearest wheatfield. The Arabs have even been impudent enough to offer indian corn, which is of American ori- gin, to credulous tourists as from a mummy. A few months ago Lord Sheffield, on his return from Egypt,
 gave Lord Winchelsea a handful of wheat which he had himself taken from a sarcophagus containing a mummy A hundred of these grains were carefully planted under glass frame. After some weeks it was discovered that tho seeds had routed away.-Philadelphia Ledger.

IL Is the TclltaIe One and the Upper Lip
 Can Take Care of Itself.
 ''I can't understand. said young lady of observation, ''why you men, who sec so much and know so much, persist in the r.rase. Keep n stiff up- per lip. You uso it as n sort of pictur- esque synonym for firmness of purpose and demeanor. but it has no value as such. Tho upper lip is not the weak member of the two. It is the under lip that wants stiffening. The upper lip is practically expressionless. It usually lies flat on the teeth, it is nearly always covered with mustache-I rcfer of course, to the male upper lip-and in conversation, especially in correctly languid conversation, it does not move at all. Like the Chinese joss, it's Q harmless creature and can be safely let alone.
 ''It is tho neither lip that has to be watched and controlled. can always tell when n man is going to propose to me by the way in which he vets his under lip and presses it against the up- per for companionship and support, just the very things he is seeking for. And can always tell if man is lying by peculiar fluctuation and pulsation in this same lower lip He will look you right straight in the eye, grow fierce and drop his voice into his boots through the weight of his emotion. but if there is that twitch about the lower lip don't believe him, and I've never been wrong yet. If man feels deeply l mean feels sorrow. not affects 1t, 1t Is in tho tremulousness of the under liI that he shows it. The sensitive man s lower lip is seldom still, and there is sometimes about it q positive pulsation that takes in the whole curve of the chin. Tho pout begins in the lower lip and is really confined to it, for the upper lip is only pushed out by pressure from below. You can't pout with your upper lip alone.
 'In fact, you cant assume or affect any expression with the upper lip alone. Just try it. Hold the lower lip firm with the finger and look in the glass there. The mouth has become simply q hole in the face, you see, and so far as the expressionful character of tho lir goes it is as if you had lost feature.
 ''If you want to keep back a smile. it's the lower lip that you must look after. Weakness begins there. whether of character. health or age. It is not the weak upper lip that tells of down. fall. It is the dropping, pendulous lower ] lip that shows it. And let me tell you something, please, for the benefit of my sisters who have not had the advan-l mean the experience that have.

A wise mother never gives any of her children n mere story book for n present except those which deal with historical events and personages. In this way they obtain the local color" of those times and people, even if it is all colored by the authors prejudices. Every such book interests the readers in its char acters sufficiently to encourage the bringing out of their histories. the look ing up of other authorities and the eager discussion of what was to be found con- corning the heroes and heroines whose adventures had been described. There are plenty of such stories for every age. This method may mean history and water" but it is that much better than no history at all. And there are children who will be inoculated with informa. tion in no more severe form than some such gentle wise
