ADVERTISING IN DULL TIMES.

How to do this successfully for a gen.
eral retail store ia q difficult subject to
properly decide. It ia at the same time
q subject upon which there Is o great
diversity of opinion. At these times
some merchants largely increase their
advertising expenditure. Others con
tinue about the same as in busy times.
Business discretion should, OF course,
be used by all, but as q rule we be-
lieve that those who do the most sdver
Using OF these times have the beat of
tho argument, and can bring up more
good reasons to support their side than
the others. If the purpose Is to draw
trade, then why not advertise when you
need trade the most2 In dull seasons
more inducements should be held out to
the customer than in brisk seasons.
More care should be used in selecting
articles to be advertised and more
thought should be given to advertise
ments; bus, however you may view this
subject-for we know o great many
shrewd business men view it in exactly
the opposite way from which we have
mentioned-do not, under any circum-
stances, drop your advertising entirely.

"A Fashion.

A strange custom among the Bayanzi,
who live along the upper Kongo, has
been described by explorers. Brass
rings, sometimes weighing 80 pounds,
are welded around the necks of the
wives. AT first the neck becomes raw
by the chatting, but after awhile it be-
comes c%alloused, although a woman has
to hold tho ring up frequently to get
relief from tho weight. The ring is new
er put around q woman's neck until she
has attained her full development. The
women are proud of their ornament, be-
lieving that it enhances their impor-
tance and beauty. New York World.

The YuIe Log.

Il Some parts of Germany tho Yule
log is placed ON the hearth on Christ
mas eve and if possible kept burning
for two or three days. Then a piece of
it is laid aside for the purpose of light
ing the next years log and of guarding
the household from harm. Pieces Of fir
wood charred but not quite burnt out
in the Christmas fire arc also placed un-
der the family bed in some German vii
lagos to avert the dreaded lightning
stroke, which appears in this relation to
be the type Of fire in it's evil aspect, in
contradistinction from the solar orb, the
representative Of beneficent light and
warmth. The custom of burning a Yule
log for three days and nights in each
homestead is almost certainly a survival
from the alteration once offered to the
sun at the winter solstico.
Three centuries after tho Christian
era u worship was still maintained in
Brittany, and in Normandy not more
than 100 years ago the household fire
was extinguished on Dec. "a and the
Christmas log was ignitod by the aid Of
a flame procured from the lamp burning
III the neighboring church. This fact af-
fords a curious instance of the probable
transference of respect and reverence
from the sacred fire of a purely heather
creed to the ecclesiastical lights of Ca
tholicism. When the pagan rites for pro-
curing unsullied fire were forbidden or
fell into desuetude, the ideas to which
they owed their origin and development,
instead of perishing, continued to exist
more Or less perfectly by attaching
themselves to usages and ceremonies
having nc direct association with them.

for holding the Presidential convention,
and nsmed July 7 ss the date. It will
be In order before very long for State
conventions to be held to select dele
gates to the same. In this connection,
that there may be nc delay in present.
ing the GLAZING of Roanoke to the honor
of being the place for holding the Vir-
ginia Democratic convention, we re-
specially call the attention of the
State committee to the fact that this
city Is ready to give the delegates a
warm and cordial reception, and we
hope its many advantages In his con-
necslon will be carefully considered.
The Democrats of the State have not
pet IN convention in Roanoke since
1856, and as all the delegates we're COM
.fortably provided for then, when the
city was comparatively in It's infancy,
there will be no difficulty Oh that score
this year.
The Academy OF Music will afford am-
pie seating capacity, and the hotel &C
oommodations are abundant and first
class in all respects, while the rates will
be made as reasonable as could be de-
sired. Southwest Virginia is o very
important section of the Old dominion.
geographically and politically. and,
apart from the material aspects of the
case, 1t might prove a good stroke Of
policy for the convention to assem- BILE
here.
Again it would be interesting to the
men of other localities OF the State to
see the progress we are making In ma
terisl development, while at tho same
time they would learn much OF the
hopes and aspirations of the people of
this section to whom such an assem-
blage would be a most welcome gath-
ering. There are other reasons why the
Democratic State convention should
meet here, but these will do for the
present. It is hoped the committee will
consider well the matter and when the
time for a decision arrives that Roanoke
will be the lucky city.

REASON AND T.

Secretary of Agriculture Morton, in
his speech at the annual b1nqust of the
New York board OF trade last night,
foreshadowed q possible treaty between
the United States and Great Britain in
the following language: 1.-THE way to q
treaty between England and the United
States, which shall provide for arbitra-
tion OF all contentious between the two
countries forever, was opened by Presi-
dent Cleveland's message to Congress on
the Venezuelan boundary question.
"Ae q rule, the right, rightfully and
righteously declared commands. even
from rivals and enemies, respect and is a
declaration ..out Of which naturally grow
solid friendships, goodwill and lasting
peace. And the recent authoritative
assertion Of the Monroe doc .rine will
prove no exception. From that message
and It's Logic may be evoked O new
TRASHY baween this government and
Great Britain which shall provide that
In all time to ccms differences betweon
the two nations shall be submitted to
b arbitrsment Of reason and right,
rather than to that of the sword and
might"
''If afte- all these centuries of alleged
civilization and Christianity England
and the United States, speaking the
same language, descended from the
game ancestors and acknowledged to be
the foremost, intellectually and NOR
ally, among the peoples of the earth,
must settle their differences like wild
beasts by mere butte force, then is our

WHY THE PATRoLMEN MISSED.
An Old Time Match with Revolvers In
the Tenderloin Police Station.

rs AcnuerlO1n POlfCe station.
"Tho recent order of tho police board
that all patrolmen shall become prof.
cient i'll he use Of the revolver" said n
tetlred sergeant, reminds me of a lit
tie target practice that took place in the
rellar Of the Tenderloin station house on
West Thlrtieth street three years ago.
There was quite a sporty crowd of pa
trolmen doing duty in that precinct in
those days, and there was always a polk
or game i'll the off platoon. The game
was run on the dead quiet of course and
was played i'll q small room in the cellar
used ordinarily for storing ballot boxes
and other election paraphernalia. Tho
boys struggled a stove down there, and
a poker table that was seized in q raid
OH a gambling house was corralled and
placed in the room.
Nov, there were two wardmen do
ing duty in the Tenderloin then, and as
they had no regular hours they were
able to play along with each platoon
without interruption. They were a cou-
pie of pretty slick fellows, and it was
only a matter of time when they'd have
all the money OIL the table. Eventually
1T got SO that the patrolmen wouldn't
play with them any more, and this
source Of revenue cut off, they hit on the
d of shooting at a target with revoly-
ers at 30 cents a shot. Now, some of
these coppers were crackajacks with pis-
tolls, and they seized the opportunity
thus offered to win back the money they
had lost at poker. So one night a to-
mato can was set up at one end Of the
long cellar. and a lighted candle was
placed beside it. Then the men began to
shoot. Only two pistols were used, but
every time il patrolman shot he missed,
while the wardmen bored q hole in the
can each time.
Every night for a week the men
would shoot, and always with the same
result. h wardmen were winning
about $40 apiece n night, when the game
came to q sudden end. One of the patrol
men suddenly opened the pistol which
a wardman had handed him to shoot
with and found it loaded with blank
cartridges. Then there was n howl, and
the bad shooting of the platoon was OK
planned. The other pistol, which the
wardmen had been using, was loaded
with 32 calibor bullets, and as both were
good shots of course they plumbed the
can each time. The patrolmen threaten
cd all sorts of things, but tho wardmen
only laughed and held on to the money
they had o There was no use kick
ing to the captain about it, for he'd
have preferred charges against every
mothers son Of them for gambling in
the station house, and S tho patrolmen
swallowed their loss and let tho matter
drop. But it was q long time before they
got over it, and some of them are laying
for y chance to get even to this day.
