HOW TO ADVERTISE.
Some Points that Advertisers Should
Bear in Mind.

The question of method in adver-
tising is one having infinite range.
The matter is one of the very first
Importance, and cannot be too care
fully studied. One thing about it
that may be set down as true is that
every mans advertising, in it's Ian
guage and style, should be charac
ie-characteristic of the man,
characteristic of his stock, charac-
teristie of his commercial position.
For every man has his peculiarities
of development. When he speaks
we know it is he, though we may
not be looking at him, and his ad-
vertisement should represent him
like his voice. He should put his
experience, his industry, mis- enter
prise, into his advertising 1t is
astonishing to see how merchants
who are tireless in their industry
at the store early and late, close
buyers, eager seekers after business,
quick to embrace opportunities for
enlargement of lines and extension
of trade-it is surprising to see how
such business men continue their
advertising in the language of the
old rut, and announce in the same
words and the same type that did
duty for them years ago that 3D.
Franklin Tor any other man, the
name doesn't natter is still to be
found at the old stand, with a choice
stock of dry goods, notions, etc, etc.
(The two etc's are indispensable in
an 'ad' Of this kind There is an
other and a better way to do: If a
merchant has any snap, any energy,
in himself, let him show it in his adj
vertising If he has any bargains
in his store, let him say So If he
has connections which enable him
to sell better goods, or the same
goods at lower prices, than anybody
else, let him say that; say it plainly
strongly and in a way that will car
ry conviction of truthfulness and on
the same principle that leads him to
treat visitors to his store so that
they will call again, let him write
his advertisement so that his next
advertisement will be looked for;
if you get PERSONS attention once
try to hold it. The whole thing is
summed up in this: One should
study advertising as he does every
other department of his business.
Advertising is science, simple, it
is true, as to its main elements, but
requiring more thought and system
than many of our business men have
been accustomed to give it.

Judge E. Boyd Faulkner, at
special term of the Circuit Court of
Jefferson county, called attention to
the law prohibiting the sale of cigar

the grand jury to indict any one
found guilty of violating said law
He also called attention to the de
cision of Judge Golf, of the United
States Circuit Court, declaring said
law to be unconstitutional under the
interstate commerce law, and said
the decision has been misunderstood

The following is good advice and
should be needed: When you land
on the floor in the morning, light on
both feet and sing. When you
sit down to breakfast tell your wife
how pretty she looks-be she home
ly as sin. Eat everything with con-
tentment, with word of praise, even
if the sight of the table invites you
to the back porch to communicate
with nature Kiss the wife good by
for morning. and see that the heavy
work is all done. Thus you will
Tighten burdens. In other words, be
man and see how much happier
you will be.

PERHAPS the biggest apple tree in
this country grows few miles from
Johnstewn, Pa, on the farm Of John
Custer. Its circumference is ten
feet, three feet from the ground. The
tree is well proportional, the limbs
extending % feet from the trunk on
all sides. Four.years ago there were
four and three fourth barrels Of cider
made from the apples that grew on
it, and from its appearance now there
will be several barrels made this fall.
One peculiar thing about the tree is
that its growth is as vigorous as the
thriftiest Of the young trees of the
orchard.

4 FUKUUFTEN FUKTUNEs
DepOsiting $50, 900 and Then Losing all
Recollection of II.

To say that there must be at least
100000 lying in London banks
which has been forgotten or is await
ing claims from relatives is no exag
geration at all, said bank manager
to one Of our representatives tn e
other day. If an investigation coul d
be made, he went on, it would most
likely he found that this unclaimed
sum was nearer $5.000,000 than 81,
100000
A most curious case was that Of a
wealthy merchant in Leadenhall
street, whose forgetfulness was a by.
word. Ten years ago he placed $50
900 in his bank to his private ac-
count and Immediately forgot all
about it, having neglected to Gil mp
the counter foil in his deposit book
A few months ago, while tearing
up some old papers, he came across
penciled note hearing the words,
Bank, $50,000," and date which
he was unable to decipher. He made
inquiries into the matter and found
that he was Weather than he
thought by $4,000, with interest.
How he overlooked the amount it is
difficult to say. He is still noted for
the haphazard way in which he
keeps his private accounts
The old woman who forgot the ex
istence of legacy of 81, 900 a year
from her master was another in
stance of carelessness. Here the old
lady, one time housekeeper, could
hardly read or write When she re
ceived letter from her late mas
ter's solicitors to the effect that the
legacy would be paid quarterly on
application at city bank the lucky
woman for fortnight was none the
wiser
The important look of the seal on
the envelope and the fine notepaper
caused her to make inquiries, and
friendly neighbor, after much effort,
spelled through the letter. The old
lady, who was in poor circumstances,
could not believe the good news, and
so, without going to the bank, she
decided that the letter was hoax.
Five years passed away, when her
only soma soldier-returned from
India. One day he accidentally came
across the letter, read it, and asked
the old mother the particulars. But
her mind was a complete blank on
the subject. However, the son made
inquiries, and the result was that
his mother and he found $4,000
awaiting them at the bank, and the
promise of $1,000 year during the
forgetful old ladv's lifetime.
Old misers who have amassed
small fortunes have more than once
destroyed their bank books and all
evidence showing they were pos
sessed of money, and in this way
one well known bank once benefited
to the extent OF 100000 None of
the relatives of the old man knew of
the old mans fortune, and such
things are never the concern of the
bank.
The money was kept in the depos
itor's name for five years, when it
passed into the banks own account.
No doubt, if claimant came for
ward, they would give up the money,
but they would probably fiercely
fight the case if the evidence on the
other side showed any weak loop
holes.
At present there is money in diff
ferent banks in the metropolis which
never will be claimed, for naturally
a bank is not inclined to go to great
trouble in finding rightful owners if
they fail to come forward ON their
own account

cause the benefits could not be seen,
but from the fact that the financial
resources were not available and the
slow growth Of the past hardly
seemed to warrant what the presen.
positively demands. The Weiser
river affords all the requirements, and
from it can be created the most per.
feet water system possible both for
irrigation and for municipal uses.
Recent investigation by one of the
most competent engineers in the west
demonstrates that at a moderate out
lay dam can be constructed at some
point in the canyon that will supply
canal Of sufficient capacity and ele-
walton to supply all future demands
and water bench lands that can be
reached in no other way And, be-
sides, it would furnish power that
would be Of inestimable value. All
this will come in time, but why not
now? 1t seems the time is fully ripe.
