TALES OF THE FAIRIES.

The Christmas season suggests the old
legends and fairy tales which belong 70
everywhere. but which come to Us chiefly
from the home Of Santa Claus or s. r:lch-
Olas. IN modern days many pretty
stories have been written. such as Alice
IN Wonderland" and other adventures in
the Looking Glass. and ''The Water
Babies'' have their own charms. but.
somehow. tho elnn spirit OF the past has
become f!nctured with modern ideas. and
The fairy stories y the days when fairies
weys believed IN as actualities are not

INTERESTING TO ADVERTISERS.

The Post-fnteIligencer on last Sunday
printed the largest amount OF paid adyer-
Using that has ever been placed in any
regular edition OF any paper published in
this city. Four times during the past year
the Post-Infe lligencer has broken the ad-
vertlsing space record. not only for this
city but for the entire Northwest. The
edition mentioned, Il should be remem-
bered. was not special edition. but the
regular Sunday issue OF this paper. and
II was not only a matter OF record for this
city. but led all the rest of the Coast for
paid advertising space.
The following comparisons with the adj
vertisIng space in the san Francisco Call
and Chronicle and the Portland Oregonian

aminer issued a special Christmas edition.
which was inclosed in a coiored illustrated
cover. Its mercantile and regular adyer-
Using consisted OF 1852 inches. the special
cover advertising OF 40 inches.
These figures are OF interest 10 adver-
Users. They show clearly the value OF the
Post-Intelagenccr AS an advertising me-
dunn.
The record OF last Sunday is not I'M
usual. IL is not 100 inches more than tho
space demanded by advertisers on the pre-
wous Sunday. In fact. the Post-Intelli-
gencer has carried more inches OF adver-
Using every Sunday. almost without ex-
eeption. than any paper on the Pacific
coast Forth OF San Francisco. not excIud-
ing shs papers OF the latter city.
This space record Is not confined solely
10 the Sunday editions. but tire same gen
erous patronage Is 70 be noted In ell IT'S
issues during the week and in its weekly
e<iigaon also.
Tcday's paper is but another sample OF
the worth OF the Fost-TntelBgencer 90 ad-
vcrtisers and the value that they place
upon its space.
