JUDICIOUS ADVERTISING.

1t has been thoroughly verified in
history that the successful business man
is the one who keeps his name and
goods in an attractive form of spring
freshness before his clientele.
The more intelligently his advertising
is done, the better for him, both in his
business and in his pocket or bank
account. The insertion of a column of
matter which undergoes no change for
an entire year will not do. After one
or two readings, the column and the
phraseology will have constantly
growing familiar look that will bring the
inevitable "pass by" very frequently
not requiring more than the tenth of a
second for the decision of the question
0r
An advertiser must be alive to the
public requirements. He must not
expect even a stick-full to last month.
He must be red hot all the time, other
wise in this age of energy, he will take
a rear seat. His work must be done
rot only intelligently, but promptly.
lie must above all things be truthful );
making no assertions that cannot be
verified by actual efforts. He must in
addition use language that will be
thoroughly understood by those with
whom he wants to deal. There must
be neat diction, emphatic attraction,
and both spiced with "catchy' ideas.
He must represent his wares as they
seem good in his own eyes. at the same
time avoid the slightest approach to
misrepresentation.
If he knows he has good wares, his
declaration to that effect will carry a
magnetism of the most convincing kind.
Earnestness partakes of the character
istics of an epidemic, and an honest,
truthful statement will give but little to
fear from rivals.-Wausau Central

The Good Samaritan.

Mr.. n. Gerard, member of Grand
Rapids Lodge No. 81 I. O. @. f. who
has always been most faithful and
ardent worker in the ranks decided he
would present the lodge with present.
He purchased large oil painting SKI
feet of THE Good Samaritan" at great
expense. 1t beautiful picture and
portrays the lesson taught in the second
degree of Odd Fellowship.
AT the last meeting of the lodge
which occurred Tuesday evening the
brethren prepared a special program
and invited few friends and the
members brought their wives and
daughters for a social time. Among
those present were Rev. Rowland, of
New London, formerly pastor of the
Cong'l church in this city, who was
invited by Mr.. n. Gerard to present the
picture to the lodge in his behalf.
The exercises were opened by song,
followed by prayer, after which Misses
Reeves and Thorn sang a Duet. Mr..
Rowland then presented the picture to
the lodge in pleasing manner exempli-
flying the work of the order by it and
the lessons therein taught. He dwelt
largely upon the cardinal principles of
the order Friendship, Love and
Truth" and presented the picture as
constant reminder of these lessons.
Rev. VIM. Kilburne received the
picture in behalf of the order in his
usual free and easy style. He agreed
with Rev. Rowland as to the effects
such a picture would have upon those
who were often granted the privilege of
seeing it. One could not look upon it
without getting the full value Of the
lessons in life it portrays He thanked
the giver for the gift and accepted it in
the same spirit in which Mr.. Gerard
was prompted in giving it.
Refreshments were served and
social time was enjoyed. The picture is
the work of an artist and illustrates the
power of the brush.

families. At present instruction is
given in piano tuning, rag carpet

knitting, broom making and chair
caneing, mattress and feather duster
making. The girls are taught sewing,

BASE BALL.

The game of base ball played Sunday
afternoon on the Fair grounds between
the Stevens Point and Twin City teams
was enough to give man the cramps.
You could hardly call it ball playing
and have any respect for the game.
There were no bright features about it
not even enough to hold attention for
minute. At the enc of seven innings
the score stood 80 to II in favor of Twin
City when they quit the game in disgust.
1t was wholly one-sided, home runs
were made by nearly every batter in
the home nine. Several times they
sent the ball clear over the fence, a
most unusual occurrence. In one
inning our local men bet that the home
boys would make 15scores and they did
make as high as IL. The whole thing
was travesty on good ball playing and
an imposition on those who paid their
money at the gates. Our boys can
never gain favor .or.npport by putting
up such ball as that.
The Stevens Point team was made up
of lot of muffers who could neither
catch, pick up, or throw a ball; crowd
of fellows who came down to have
good time because their expenses were
paid. They have done this same thing
two or three times before and our team
is not wholly blameless for allowing
them to come. A shut out would have
been no honor against such team as
that. They played the most ''ratty"
game ever put up on our grounds. All
present simply went home tired

A Big Snake.

The Chippewa Herald is authority for
the following snake story:
Z. \. Adams is the champion snake
killer in the neck o the woods. Last
Saturday afternoon he had occasion to
visit the lumber yards at Boyd and near
one of the piles of lumber he noticed a
large reptile lazilv summing himself
Mr.. Adams is not daring man, but he
declares that on first sight the snake
seemed to be of interminable length
and startling thickness and the impulse
of the moment was to make a hurried
flight. However he succeeded in
quieting his shattered nerves, and
seizing a peavey stock went at the
reptile in a manner which was calculated
to lay him out in short order. After he
was disposed of Mr.. Adams stretched
him out to his full length and took his
measurements. He was found to be
exactly thirteen feet and nine inches
long and ten inches in diameter at the
thickest portion of his body. His
mouth was capable of holding a large
sized chicken without much effort. 1t
was what is called a pine snake and is
considered harmless by woodsmen.
The specimen killed by Mr.. Adams is
of unusual length and thickness and is
attracting considerable attention at

Brunette Beware.

The new shade of pink just the tint
of the Du Barry rose is called for that
flower. 1t is the color of a live coal,
and should be worn with discretion.
Swathy brunettes and sallow COM
plexioned women should never wear it.
1t is especially becoming to fair young
girls and golden blondes. Combined
with black or white or gray it may be
worn with impunity by either blondes
or brunettes who have clear, unblemish-
ed complexions. Brunettes who must
forswear the "Du Barry pink may
console themselves with dark sage
green, an almost universally becoming
color. 1t annuls any tinge of green
there may be in the complexion. Warm
yellow, which makes the skin appear
fairer, is color particularly becoming
to brunettes.
