Railroad Commissioner Report.

The railroad commi. soners' report soon
to appear from the press will possess some
new and interesting features. The relative
condition of The railroads operating ia Maine
in 1860 and row is shown by statements of
mileage, earnings and passenger traffic and
by visws of the old engine that was first
run on the line between Bangor and Old
Town, and one of the powerful freigh. en-
gines now in use on the Maine Central Rsi-
road. The train service as advertised in
the Portland papers in 1860 and those of
1898 are produced and will show wonder
full change in the number of trains run, and
the time made from different places.
The frontisYiece will be view of North
Twin lake on the line of the Bangor &
Aroostook Railroad. The report will be
one of the most valuable for reference ever
issued. The oil wooden bridge across the
Kennebec river a. Augusta is shown with
one of the former trains upon it, and the
new iron bridge with one of the vestibule
trains or so much of 1t as would occupy the
same space as did the former train. The
report will contain map of the railroads
Of the State. The additions to that Of last
year " ill be the Bangor and Aroostook, the
Georges Valley, the Portland and Rumford
Falls extension AMI the Dead River r. R.

An advertisement writer ought to keep
three rules tackled up in front Of him all
the time:
Be truthful.
Be brief.
Be explicit.
The public has no patience with mis-
statements, nor the house that makes
them. Don't say anything in the papers
that will cast shadow Nf distrust over
the store. Better say nothing than
something you cannot substantive. 81
!ence needs no apology. A false state
,aent is a boomerang-hits back-and
hits hard.
Don't deviate from the straight and
narrow path. 1t is hard sometimes not
to let down the bars of truth when an
other fellow is piling up the adjectives.
But if he hasn't an honest foundation,
pver they'll topple and bury him.
Don't string out what you've got to
pay. If it is to men you are talking,
they're too busy to bother with seeking
for the pith. Serve them up some En-
glish forcibles in as few words as posi-
ble-just an ''eye full" With ladies it's
not different. They've got the time, but
the less you say the more likely they are
to remember it. SO brevity is the best
rale to follow, after truthfulness. Make
short cuts to the facts.
For goodness sake make yourself plain.
Don't have to send key of explanation
along. Tell the whole story. Antlcl-
pate all questions. Railways endeavor to
work in price. It's strong argument.
Means business, and people like to have
the knowledge Of costs within reach
when they are wading through the de-
scriptions. Have II point to make and
see that YOU make it. Shoot at Il mark.
Don't sllimp on space and don't waste
it.
Don't dress up your advertisements to
look like specimen card OF the type
faces in the ad alley. Seek for harmony
of effect. Discords disgust.
Don't write to please yourself. Write
for the publics edification. Write En-
glish-plain, every day, old fashioned,
simon pure Anglo Saxon.
Don't chant dirge, but don't try to
be funny. Be sensible and businessllke,
and you'll be read.
These arc the teachings of experience.
But 500 words won't tell it all, for Time
has only written the first chapter IN the
modern art of business publicity.
Advertising is like electricity--a pow
erful agent when kept under control
but holy terror when let loose. Keep
it in hand.-G. \. Lewis.

best that has been in Augusta Ills season.
