The success of good ad, like that of

The advertisement that tinkles with
Superlative becomes as monotOnous to
the reader as the squeak of unOiled ma

An ad is glass through which
business is seen from distance. While
it shouldnot magnify, at the same time
it should be so constructed as to make
the business seem very near the obServ-
er.
If an ad is such as to elicit "call again

to possible customer.
In order for an ad to make a "hOme
run" it must start from four bases the
eye, the interest, the heart and the

The gap between theory and practice
never seems quite so wide as when a
man puts out pet thousand in a Wis

back receipt for his money.
RoOsting on a dry goods box and
groaning over hard times won't bring
business. It's the little silent searching
ad that rakes up a few loose pennies
from the wreck after financial squall.

the burying ground and as we read the
inscriptions on the headstones thoughts
of those we had loved and lost came to
us. One monument more colossal than
the rest reared its marble head above
the clumps of hazel brush, and curious
to see to whose memory it was erected
we walked that way. Rounding a mass
of foliage which interviewed, we came
in full view of this grave and for the
first time saw that we were not the only
visitors to this quiet country burying
ground.
Directly facing this monument stood
man evidently in the very prime of
manhood. His clothes are dirty and
ragged and his whole appearance clear
ly portrayed that uncared for aspect
which we have learned to associate with
the typical tramp. At his feet lay the
remains of what might once have been
fashionable hat, and his bowed head
was covered by a dense growth of tan
gled hair, whose unkept locks Swayed
gently in the breeze. His face was
turned partially away from us, but what
of his profile was visible showed signs
of what might have been a handsome
one, had it not been scared and scanned
with unmistakable marks which dissi-
patton indellibly stamps on the human
being.
The stone at which he gazed bore the
one word Mother What interest had
that tramp, that OutcaSt in such place
as this? His eyes were riveted on that
one word Mother" and his breast heav-
ed with suppressed emotion.
For some moments he continued to
stand there, his tall form, which, despite
the filthy rags that clothed it, as it was
silhOuetted against back ground of
bright blue sky, showed evidence of
muscular energy, yet seemed to tremble
with violent grief.
Then one dirty sunburned hand was
drawn swiftly across his eyes leaving
trace of tears upon his rugged face,
and with swift almost savage motion
he picks up his tattered hat and without
look to right or left started through
the shrubs and brush toward the fence.
a stOng brown hand is placed on the
top rail and with one bound he has
cleared l., and plunged in amongst the
corn-stalks heading toward the railroad
track, the polished rails of which glisten
in the sunshine, away down in the val
ley. The Bob white" cry comes to us
again and again and the blue birds still
hop around, in the waning sunlight, a
sleek brown rabbit runs across the road
and sits up under the thorn hedge, and
as we turn our steps homeward we won
der what thoughts that one word had
produced in the Outcast's mind and
what might have been the story of him
and "Mother."

Trap Shooting.

There are in Plymouth and the vicin-
ity number of sportsmen who enjoy
a little exercise in the field, but the
scarcity of game in this section offers
little inducement for successful gun
ming. Attention, then, naturally turns
to trap shooting as an amusement and
a recreation. OF late years the improve
mentS in the manufacture and manage
ment of inanimate targets has reached
degree of proficiency and excellence
which renders them equal, and in some
instances, far superior to any live tar
get. The glass ball has been entirely
superseded by the nine modern clay
pigeon in its various styles. If all tar
gets the "blue rock" and "peuna black
bird" are the most popular science by
the use of the modern trap "bird" can
be thrown with great velocity at almost
any angle. This makes it especially
hard for marksman where shooting,
known traps but unknown angles" un-
der the American gun club rules to
make any great score. The little shoot
ing tournament held here on Tuesday
last clearly demonstrated the fact that
there are a number of more than usual
ly clever shooters in Plymouth, and it
would certainly seem that with small
amount of energy and concentrated ac-
ton on the part of those who appreciate
this kind of sport, good gun club could
be organized and maintained here.
There are many business men who
would like the opportunity of an after
Moons sport over the traps occasionally
and we look for the establishment in
the near future of a gun club which
will place Plymouth on record through
out the state as city of modern ad-
vancement in every sense, even as re-
gard this popular sport.

Sand Bagged,

Jerry Buckley, an old soldier who
boards with Peter Ulrich claims to have
been sand bagged and robbed on Satur-
day evening last, on LaPOrte street. Ac-
cording to Buckley's statement he was
going home at 9 p. m., Saturday evening
and when near the Ft. Wayne depot
was met by three young men one of
whom hit him on the head knocking
him down, when all three, proceeded to
go through his pockets. He maintains
that he fought bravely and the three
thugs only succeeded in getting a ten
dollar bill which was in his vest pocket
Although they tried to get his watch
and chain. He claims that he would
be able to recognize one or more of his
assailants. Sunday morning he went to
the drug store of Shaded Il Reynolds
where bad cut over his left eye and a
confused wound on the cheek bone were
dressed. From all appearances it is
safe to say that these wounds were
caused by heavy blows from some
blunt intrument, such as club or sand
bag. Buckley is well known in this
community and as there is no reason,
to discredit his statement, it is hoped
that the men who are guilty of this
cOwardly assault will be brought to a
speedy Justice.

Mother.

1t was Sunday afternoon. We had
wandered out from the limits of the
city in one of those moods of absolute
satisfaction which a man in the full en-
joyment of the healthy, vigorous, days
of the prime of life, will feel after a
generous Sunday dinner. The day was
one of those gloriously genial ones which
we sometimes experience late in the fall,
in this uncertain climate of ours, the
sun ShOne with almost summer heat in
the cloudless blue. The dyeing leaves
of the maple, oak and hickory trees pre-
sented glow of red and yellow which
would have defied an artists skill to re-
produce, and as they dropped from
branches high in air and sailed slowly
down to join their fellows in a grand
heap of golden reddish beauty, they
glinted and glistened in the warm sun
light, like sheets of gold and bronze.
Away around the bend of the road,
the cleaning whiteness of marble col
umns and the blueish gray of mOttled
granite proclaimed the site of the town
ship burying ground. There is some
thing sOlemnly impressive to us in the
sight of one of those peaceful little
graveyards of county, township and
we turned our steps toward this resting
place of the mortal remains of those
whose souls have crossed to the great un-
known.
A neat white fence inclOsed this sa-
cred lot where many a monument or
headstOne and many rounded heap of
grass-grown earth marked the last long
resting place of all that was earthly of
thoses whose memory is cherished by
some who are left behind. A blue bird
hoped along the fence and from the
cornfield which bordcred this cemetery,
the clear call of "Bob- white" came float
ing on the still October air. We entered

Ad"-VentureS.

This is not intended to catch the eye
of the regular reader of the Independ-
ent, so much as it is for the perus-
al of our business men. The pointed
and pungent paragraphs are rough di-
monds, but pure unadulterated facts.
A four-liner, pithy, pertinent and
pointed, is often more effective than a
page of puny platitudes.
You can't always judge business by
the size of its ad. Behind many page
announcement turks an empty till.
A burglar opens safes with a steel
jimmy, but a shrewd merchant opens
them by continued hammering with his
keen little ads.
One unique clause in your ad, if born
of truth, will make people go miles out
of their way to find your store.
When the argument of your ad strikes
the bulls eye of public approval, the
clink of change will be heard in your
tills.
Shrewdfrms, like kites, rise against
the wind when they keep their wares
constantly before the public eye.
The logic of an easy reading ad is
like raw oyster, you swallow it before
you're conscious of the fact
"Man's brightest thoughts are some
times born in darkest hours" Some of
the most effective ads on record were

A Good Idea.

"A GOoQ 1Qea.
1t has been suggested incidentally by
some of the public minded citizens of
Plymouth that quite a long felt want
would be supplied by the establishment
in this city of an Emergency Hospita
not a large pretentious building by any
means, but the securing and maintain
ance of two or three rooms in the heart
of the city where any case of accident
or injury could be attended to and an
injured person whether stranger or citi
zen gives proper medical and surgical
attention in their hour of need.
The Inauguration of such hospital
is worthy object and should receive
the hearty support of all philanthropic
citizens.
Accident and injury is liable to every
one and a person injured or mained is not
welcomed to any hotel or boarding
house and without intimate friends it is
almost impossible to find any place
where they can be taken to, in order to
receive those services which are SO nee
essary to the allivation of suffering and
the saving of human life. In such cases
an established emergency hospital
would fill a long felt want and be a
credit to Plymouth.
Already some of our prominent ply
sicians and surgeons have signified
their willingness to assist in its estab-
lishment and are ready to do all IN
their power to maintain an institution Of
this kind.
What is really needed is one or two
rooms in some building or residence in
near proximity to the railroad and busi-
ness centre of Plymouth, and such a
place should be fitted with cots and
furniture necessary to the accomoda-
ton of patients. The cost of the main
tainance of such place would be but
a small matter and few cents of vol
untary contribution by our citizens and
business men would cover all expense
necessary.
In connection with such venture as
this it would also be good plan to organ
ize an ameteur ambulance class of young
men who are willing to take a course
the care of the sick and wounded. The
INDEPENDENT is ready at all times to
advance and promote to such lauda-
BILE undertaking as this and will be glad
to put forth every effort to endeayOr to
successfully establish an emergency
hospital here.
The benefits which would be given to
citizen or stranger as the case might
be, by such an instution are inestimable.
We say, continue in this work, let the
people OF Plymouth get together and
formulate and organize an emergency
hospital here in this city. Start it on
a small scale but with a tendency in the
right direction and thereby place Ply
mouth in position to rank among the
most progressive city of the age.
Progression and development is
the basis upon which any city must
build to ultimate success and prosperity,
and it it by attending to such details of
philanthropic and benevOlenoe to such
advancement as this, that we may claim
the commentator of the outside world
and give our city foothold of more
than ordinary advantage.
