the speakership question, he would be
glad to do all he could to aid Mr..
Shells candidacy.
Mr.. Cross fully concurred in all that
had been said, and he would gladly do
what he could to further it's objects.
Mr.. Juliar felt the Importance of
organization, and was heartily in
favor of Mr.. Shell for speaker.
Mr.. Holman was glad to be present,
and felt that the Second district was
taking the right course. 1t had come
to that point when organization was
necessary. The cities were always or
ganized and gobbled up about every
thing in sight. He was like the bal
ance, for Mr.. Shell, and believed that
earnest effort on the part of our peo-
pie would secure success.
Mr.. Shell was called upon. He said
that it was more a Second district
fight for the future and for important
legislation than it was for himself.
He said that if it was the desire of
the district to stand by him, no action
would be taken by him until full
consultation had been had with the
organization.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted.
The temporary organization was
made permanent.
This practically concluded the bust
ness of the meeting.

AN AXIOn.

Among the solid rock-ribbed truths,
Of which there are a few
Within this world of sham and fraud
(Of course. we don't mean you),
Is this one, known to everyone,
Whose friends esteem him wise,
That, if you are business man,
1t pays to advertise.
What sense is there in keeping shop
With all the curtains down?
1t pays to dress your windows up
And paralyze the town.
II pays to have great big sign
To dazzle peoples eyes,
And better still-don't miss this fact
1t pays to advertise.
So, if you would be prosperous,
And rest in your old age,
Seek newspaper publicity,
column or page
Will bring its cost back ten times DER,
Perhaps to your surprise,
And ever afterward you'll say
1t pays to advertise.

no damage to her fittings. Capt. Cam
eron remained steadily at his post on
