Results Of Advertising.

When I talk to a man who has
made fortune by advertising I
wonder that anybody who has any
thing to sell does not 60 and do like
wise. One man told me day or two
ago that his concern, with q nom
hal capital Of $3.50, 900, only $50, 900
of which was paid in, has divided in
q single year among three partners
profits to the amount of $3.50, 900,
and that exclusive of salaries of
$50, 600 and $3.50 drawn by two
members Of the firm. Ten or twelve
years ago this man was a drug clerk
on small salary in western town,
and is now one of the millionaires Of
New York. without advertising I
might have made a living" he said,
but it was advertising that made
me rich, and advertising a very sim
ole commodity at that"

A Girl in Gray.


A certain auburn haired girl ap
peared at an evening party not long
ago In simple gown which made
her look like picture. 1t was of
sheer gray organdie made over
mouse-gray satin, the outer skirt
being very full and edged with fiut-
tering ruffles. The blouse was COM
posed of gray satin ribbon, three
inches wide, alternating with creamy
white lace, with beautifully fin
ished edge which Tapped over the
selvedge of the ribbon. About the
neck was worn dog collar of silver.
The sleeves were immensely gigot,
the tightly fitting lower arm but
toned with silver ornaments to
match the collar, Gray silk stock
ings and gray suede slippers, with a
bit OF silver embroidery and gray
suede gloves completed the picture,
which any ed-haired girl may dupli-
cate for very little, IN. Y. Adver-
tiser.

rope was about his neck. The east

something, and he lifted up his
voice.

must not do this thing"
The crowd stopped in amazement.

inquired the leader, coming up close
to the easterner.
II say you must not do this

Because it is against the law"
This was a new reasoning, and the

fLooRED rHE FAklR.
Printed Lecture Had No Answer for
That Question.

A new fakir struck town last
week. He was new in two senses,
saws the Buffalo Express. He
hadn't been long in the business and
his fakement was a novelty. He
was a young fellow from a Connec.
ticut farm, whom the king of fakira.
who does business in Grant street.
New York, had inveigled into buy.
ing the territorial rights" TO.
western New York for burglar
alarm, which consisted simply of a
paper cap, such as children use in
their toy pistols, fitting into a
socket near the catch in win dow
frame. When a burglar attempted
to open window by MANIPULATING
the catch, so the inventors theory
ran, there would be an explosion
sufficiently loud to awaken the
householder and result in the cracks
mans capture. The cap and socket
could slso be used to play practical
joke on the buyers friends. They
could be affixed to a door, which the
victim could then be induced to
open. Imagine his CONSERVATION
and the hearty laughter of the as
sembled company etc.
The new fakir did pretty well at
first. He selected an eligible cor.
ner on busy street and usually had
an open-mouthed crowd around him.
On the second day fate sauntered
along in the person of sad-eyed,
thoughtful-browed man, who listened
for awhile and then interrupted the
lecturer thus:
will you allow me to ask you q
question, mister2"
"C't'nly, sir" replied the fakir.
well, then, suppose the burglar
knows the cap is in the window and
pulls the sash down from the top TO-
stead of showing up the lower half
of the window to which the alarm is
afixed-what provision does your
device make for such contin
gency2"'
The fakir thought for awhile. No
such emergency had been provided
for in the printed lecture which he
had bought with his territorial
rights" He hemmed and hawed
and quibbled, but he had no answer
ready. The crowd appreciated the
fact and ieered and melted away.
That night an idea came to
broken-hearted man who was riding
In boxcar toward Cleveland. 1t
was the failed fakir. why, durn
it," he said to himself, "a mar
couldn't crawl in through the top of
a window without showing the sash
down far enough to touch the catch
and strike the cap. Why didn't
think of that when that Teller was
joshing me this afternoon2"
But it was then too late.
Thus does fate make monkeys of
men.

THE DICTIONARY GROWS.
Reporters Attempt to Describe {
Game of Baseball.


The possibilities of the English
language ave'frequently been taxed
to describe the great American
game of baseball, but for striking
illustration this from the Herald, of
Quincy, ILL.,, has rarely been equaled
1.-THE glass-armed toy soldiers of
this town were fed to the pigs yes
terday by the cadaverous Indian
grave robbers from Omaha. The
aabby, one-lunged Reubens who rep
resent the Gem City in the reckless
rush for the baseball pennant had
their shins toasted by. the basilisk-
eyed cattle drivers from the west.
They stood around with gaping eye
balls like hen on a hot nail, and
suffered the grizzly yaps of Omaha
to run the bases until their necks
were long with thirst. Hickey had
more errors than Coins Financial
School, and led the rheumatic pro-
cession to the morgue. The Quincys
we're full of straw and scrap iron.
They couldn't hit a brick wagon
with pickax and ran bases like
pallbearers at funeral. II three
base hits were growing on the back
of every mans neck they couldn't
reach EN- with feather buster. 1t
looked as if the Amalgamated Union
of South American Hoodoos was in
session for work in the thirty-third
degree. The geezers stood about
and whistled for help and were so
weak they couldn't lift glass of
beer If it had been all foam. Every
thing was yellow, rocky and whang-
basted, like stigtossel full of dog
glegammon. The game was whis-
kered and frostbitteng The Oma-
hogs were bad enough, but the
Quincy Brown Sox had their fins
sewed up until they couldn't hold a
crazy quilt unless it was tied around
their necks."

TOO MANY SQUIRRELS.
Any Disease Welcome That Gar.
ries Off the Animals.
Wbitman County, A. IT,, Contains the In.
tested District Futile Attempts of
Land Holders in the Way of
differentiation

vi
1t has been the hope and prayer
of all farmers in the southern and
western parts of Whitman county
for several years past that some
kind of a contagious disease would
break out or could be inoculated
into the troublesome ground squir-
rel. Several attempts have been
made to breed some kind of dis
ease among them, but all seem to
have been Unsuccessful.
In view of these numerous unsuc-
cessful attempts, says the Ari-
zonian, and the interest taken in
the matter, considerable comment
was caused few days ago by the
report coming from near Penawawa
that there was some kind of disease
which was killing the pests in large
numbers, and the country might
hope to be free from their devastat-
ing ravages.
A Spokesman Review correspond
ent has made an extensive trip
through the infested district, in
order to investigate the authentici-
ty of the reports and the extent to
which the disease is proving fatal.
There seems to be no doubt that
there is a contagion among them,
which is proving fatal to a few,
though not to the extent that has
been represented. The first effect
on the animals is to make them
dumpy and stupid, then scabs and
sores appear on the body of the ami
NAL, aud soon they lose the use of
their hind parts and are barely able
to get around. Very few dead squir-
rels were found, but the animals
seem to be less numerous than
they were few weeks ago. The de-
crease in numbers is explained by
some observers by the fact that the
females have gone in their holes to
have their young, but it has also
been noticed in districts where the
young squirrels are old enough to
get out of their holes. Already
preparations are being made to
spread the disease. Inquiries come
from all over the country concern
ing the authenticity of the reports,
and the effect it is having to de-
crease the numbers and ravages of
the pests.
But while the farmers are anx-
iously watching the outcome OF the
infection, they are by no means idle
in aiding nature to destroy their en-
envy. Traps, guns, bombs and all
kinds of poisons are used in aid of
their destruction. One CoIfax firm
has already sold over five hundred
ounces of strychnine, and other poi
sons in proportion. Arsenic seems
to be springing into favor as a de-
stroyer, but some who have been ex-
perimenting with it report rather
unfavorably. Since the success of
the western one-third of this coun-
ty depends almost entirely on the
discovery of some method which will
promptly and effectively extermi-
nate these mischievous little ami
mails all new suggestions to that
end are thankfully received and
given fair trial. In Spokane coun-
~ five hundred patent bombs for
the determination of squirrels have
been received by the county COM
missioners for distribution among
the farmers.

the decomposition of the gelatinous
and albunlinous tissues, circulates
with the blood and attacks the
fbrous tissues, particularly in the

manifestations of the disease. The
back aud shoulders are ths parts
usually affected BY rheumatism, and
