aaAov,s CONVINCING PROOF. 80
He Forced . Merchant to Admit That
People Read Advertisements.


was reading Wallace Reeds pleasant
"Reminiscences of Henry Grady, and 1t car
ried. me back TO the hard days when Henry
was struggling against fate to make his
paper a success The merchants had not
then learned the value of advertising, and
Henry pleaded In vain for more liberal
patronage. A leading merchant who
claimed TO be his friend stubbornly de-
clined to give him big "ad., ;" and said it
would be money thrown away, for nobody
read them.
Don't read themp' exclaimed Henry.
.ssDon't read theml Well, 1 viii show
you"
Next mornings paper contained short
editorial on cats and told how cat fur had
recently come into great demand in fash
ionable circles In New York, and how the
long, coarse hairs were eliminated and the
real fur was made into tippets and muffs,
and every fashionable lady wore feline,
etc. Not far off in another column was a
displayed advertisement that said:
"Wanted-1, 900 cats, for which 90 cents
each will be paid.
The merchants name was signed TO IL.
BY noon the cats began to roll In.
Small boys, white and black, brought
them In baskets and bags. For awhile
the merchant enjoyed the joke, but soon
got tired and went away to dinner.
BY the time he returned the boys and
| darkies from the suburbs were coming In,
| and the sidewalk was blockaded. Henry
| had laughed until he was exhausted and
sat on IA window sill across the street.
] threatened he said, with a cataleptic lit.
| Neighboring merchants and their clerks
| gathered around and laughed and shouted
| and cried at every new arrival OF cats. AS
| fast as the merchant drove off one crowd
another filed their places. He armed
himself with big stick, but at last he
closed his doors in sheer despair, and night
4 relieved him from the pressure.
jito But ti.s next morning the catastrophe
was worse The catalogue was not ended
for the country people had heard the news
and brought cats in on their wagons anC
under their buggy seats and tied up IL
cotton baskets like chickens. Henry tool
his stand near by and leaned against tel
egraph pole for support. He ard the folk
who loved fun were all there and while !
was fun to the boys and death to the frog
it was such rare and racy joke that tn
merchant couldn't get mad, and hnall
surrendered. He made an appropriate lit
tie speech to the crowd and told Henri
that if no would promise never to do S
any more he would give him the bigges
lad" he had ever had in his paper. Henri
promised and the "ad. " was given.

washington, Nov. lit is stated on

% Minister Woodford's note. the
w ,ext of which was read at the cabi-

The reply intimates that but for the
oseitance that has been given them by
ellbusterers from the United States
neace would have been restored long
AGO. The reply. it is stated, does not
contain a sentence that could give Of
fense or be construed into an expression
Of an unfriendly purpose or feeling
AGAINST the government of the United
states. On the contrary. the note is
stated to be distinctly conciliatory in
tome although insisting upon the right
and duty of Spain to put down an
armed insurrection in it's own territory
IT is evidently that the reply has made
q favorable impression upon President
Mckinley and the members of the cabi'
net. and it is not unlikely that one of the
features of his forthcoming message tc
congress will be a discussion of the Gu
ban situation, from which it will appear
that there is nothing in the situation &c

The Number Thirteen.

The superstition that ID is unlucky,
which is traced back to sacred source,
meets with as many contradictions as
combinations. The fact that the horri-
BILE fire in the Paris bazaar started at
booth ID was telegraphed all around the
world, whereas little notice is attracted
by Nansens success with Ii men. At
one time was a dreaded number in
England, owing to the dynastic disas-
tiers to all monarchs second OF their
name from Ethelred Ill to George H.
Yet Napoleon S number through all his
life was 2. and who could wish for
better luck than came to Goody Two
Shoes or than that which results at
times from having two strings to your
bow? tr
Three, which since the days OF Py-
thagoras has been the divine number,
shows that it is not invariably fortu-
nate, for though the fates are three, SO
also are the furies. The graces are
three, but so also are the judges III
hades and the heads of Cerberus. Then
there are the records of three dlsloyal
tribes in Welsh history; there are the
three robbers in Orion's belt; there
were the three tyrants at Athens, and
3 in mythology is as unlucky as II
| is divine. Just so clearly as it has been
shown in time that the unlucky
can be lucky and that the pleasant
8 can be unpleasant the followers OF
the late Captain Fowler would show
that the pnlucky IL can be the luckies
number there is. So we may as wei
regret his departure, while we wisl

QUESTION RAISED IN A MASSA.
CHUSETTs COURT.
Gold Democrat Cannot Represent the
Democratic Party on the Board of
Registration = Petition For Re-
moval.

Boston, July 31.-H. J. Racqueth of
Wellesley, a leading silver Democrat
in the last national fight and mem
Der of the state Democratic commit
tee, brought a petition in the Suffolk
supreme court today for a writ of man
damus to compel the board of select
men to remove John H. Sheridan, an
alleged gold Democrat, from the board
of registration, upon the ground that
he has ceased to be a member of the
Democratic party, one of the two lead
ing parties at the last preceding cleo
ton.
The petition is brought to test the
statutes which prescribe that the board
shall appoint the members of the
board of registration of voters to rep
resent the two leading political parties
at the state election preceding the ap-
pointment of the members, and that
whenever, upon written complaint to
them, and after a hearing it shall ap-
pear that a register of voters other
than the city or town clerk has ceased
to act with the political party which
he was appointed to represent, they
shall remove him from office.
