The ability Of the farmer who
planted seed and then left it to take
care Of itself would be questioned.
Just so with advertising. This is the
seed the merchant plants, and if not
rightly taken care Of, a fruitful har-
vest ought not to be expected. To
get good results from advertising you
must help along. This is the grease
put on the sQueaky wheels Of your
wagon to help it up the hill. Simply
Oiling the wheels, though, will not
start it going nor keep it running. 1t
requires pushing, and then the grease
will make it move, and lively, too, if
the requisite amount Of push be there.
1t will have to be a case Of pushing

"Old Bill" VOsburg, the green
goods man who swindled Anton Cim-
fel, farmer Of Clarkson, Neb., out of
$500, was allowed to 60 free in New
York the other day because the court
thought he was no worse a criminal
than the sucker who bit. Recorder
Golf said he thought the legislature
should make a law declaring the
farmers who came on to buy green
goods should be prosecuted as felons.
He had no sympathy for them. They
were greater criminals than Vosburg,
because he was but deecing thieves,
and as great swindlers at heart as the
prisoner. Farmers who seek the pur-
chase of counterfeit money do so with
the intention Of working it off on
innocent people and swindling them
out of good money or property. If
the law should take them in hand
they would lose less money to sharp
ers.

Will Have a Home.

The Grand Lodge Of Ancient Free
and Accepted MasOns Of the state Of
Kansas commenced its annual session
here last Wednesday morning.
Nearly every lodge in the state was
represented and the meeting was as
fine body Of men as one could ex-
pect to see anywhere, or gathered to-
gether for any purpose.
The great feature Of the days
meeting was the discussion Of the
Masonic home.
To be brief there is fund Of some.
thing like $4,000 raised for Masonic
home and that fund is now in the
treasury. 1t has been question OF
dispute for some two or three years
whether it would be wise to secure
and maintain home at the present
time or not. Some thought it would
and some thought otherwise. The
fact was before the grand lodge, how
ever, that this vast sum Of money
had been raised and something had to
be done with it. If not used fol
a home there was a strong feeling to
have it returned to the lodges that
gave it and it was on this issue that
the fight" of yesterday came up.
1t lasted in the Grand Lodge about
three hours, and they finally decided
to have a home. 1t is not known yet
where the home will be located, but
it is generally believed that Wichita
will be the lucky city. Wichita Eagle.

1t is not generally known, even
among those pretty familiar with the
history of the late war; how near Gen
eral Isaac Wistar came to capturing
Richmond. His expedition, secretly
planned for that purpose and consisting
Of six regiments, four Of cavalry, left
Williamsburg, Va, Feb, D, 1864, The
Confederate capital was known to be
nearly empty of troops at that particu-
lar time While it was not intended to
hold the place, it was believed that by
a quick dash the Union prisoners there
could be liberated, the railway bridges
destroyed and President Davis and his
cabinet made prisoners. News of the
projected raid was carried to the enemy
by Union soldier named Boyle, who
two nights before the start was made
escaped from Fort Magruder, where he
was confined under sentence of death for
shooting an officer. A large force was
hastily withdrawn from Lees army and
reached Bottoms bridge, 10 miles from
Richm ond, just in time to confront Gen
eral Wistar's advance. A sharp fight
ensued, and as it was no longer possible
to effect a surprise the object of the ex-
petition was abandoned. --Philadelphis

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the incan-
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gem
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
want it done at once; no more lamps for me-
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and / take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

The Germans cultivate ivy in Their
houses with great success. Placing a root
in Il large pot by one side of window,
they will train it as it grows until it forms
a pretty frame for the entire window The
English ivy growing over the walls of q
building, instead Of promoting dampness,
as most persons would suppose is said to
be remedy for it, and it Is mentioned as
fact that in a room where dampness had
prevailed for a length of time the affected
parts inside had become dry when ivy had
grown up to cover the opposite exterior
side. The close, overhanging pendant
leaves prevent the rain or moisture from
penetrating the wall. In order to train
ivy over door buy couple of brackets,
such as lamps for the burning of kerosene
are sometimes placed on, and screw them
to the sides of the door. Put in each a
plant of English ivy, the longer the better,
then train the plants over the top, against
the sides-any way your fancy dictates.
The common unglazed pots will. answer
every purpose by placing in each two or
three sprays of Coliseum ivy. In a
months time no vestige of the pot itself
can be discerned through their thick
screen.-New York Recorder.
