A Pretty Story Spoiled.

A very pretty anecdote has been for
years current in France with regard fothe
pleasant relations between Victor Hugo
and the poet OF smaller fame who succsed-
ed 10 his chair in the academy. When lie
conts de Lisle made his first attempt TO
win a place among the immortals, one
vote alone, 30 the story goes, was given ia
his favor. 1t was that of Victor Hugo.
The aspirant failed, as o ulattsr OF course,
but the next day he wrote TO his solitary
supporter the following words: Master.
you chose me, and am one Of the elect. )"
Uphappily the entire tale turns ost upon
Investigation to be the IDere.t fiction. NJ.
Camille Douoet, the permanent SECRETARY
of the institute, with whom alone rests
the secret OF the ballot, reveals the truth

Orders have been given regularly from
the headquarters of the company, 10 their
agents all over the system, to sell tickets
and consign freight to Round Pond.
When the order was issued aud the
news was received here there WAS great
jubilatiou. The men whose all was staked
and persistently almost embraced one
another with joy.
When the first train arrived and
stopped several leading citizens jumped
aboard and rode 10 South Enid

they were as proud as the traditional boy
with the new red wagon. They guyed u e
South Enidites good naturally, aud kept

the greatest amount of advertising done in
America, but that the largest personal adj
veIt User il an American. Several houses.
both in Europe and America, expend up
wards Of half a million dollars per year 10
advertising: but the advertiser referred to
has actually expended durioR the past
year over million dollar wholly IN al

been sgu2udered. but has been carefully,
judiciOusly. scientifically expended, and IL
has paid profit OF fifty cents for every

those who advertise or have advertising IN
