The temptation is always strong to the
merchant who prepares his own adver-
tisements to ring in everything in the
store, which effort results in confusing
tumble of goods and prices, interesting to
no one and valueless as an advertisement.
The trouble is the merchant is too full of
his subject to write about it; he is fairly
running over with words, as it were.
He attempts to much, and accordingly
fails of his subject. Talk of one thing at
time, talk about ii SO that the reader will
gain distinct impression of the article
and become inbued with desire to see it.;
tell the truth about the quality, and quote
the price-and stop. A short story well

TRIALS OF A TRAVELLER.


One OF Them Caused Chambcrmaid ca
Miss Her Tip.
You have heard of the man who had
employed q new servant fresh from a
country town. The man had como highly
recommended as honest, industrious and
intelligent, and In appearance he evident
ly justified his sponsors. His employer re-
turned after couple of days absence to
find that the new servant had been clean
ing up generally, and particularly In the
wine cellar, where he had secured all the
dust and rust off of the wine bottles.
Well, l know man who had similar
experience, though perhaps not quite so
readily comprehended by the general read
er This man had travelled great deal and
had a fad. They sometimes go together.
His fad was travel. Alpine climbers carry
what they call alpenstocks, on which they
burn the records of their mountain tri-
umpks--the name of the mountain climb
ed, height, date, etc. They overrun the
mountain regions of Europe, Dragging Of
their exploits and proving them by the
stick. / can show a straight record of the
Swiss Alps myself-having bought 1t at
Interlaken, where 1t had evidently been
left In pawn by some impecunious anna.
teur mountaineer. / had climbed Mont
Blanc-by telescope-and got my record
something after the manner of the man
who bought his ancestors In the Pirates
of Penzance."
But to return. My friend didn't carry
q notched stick, but he had trunks and
grip and typewriting machine case and
hatbox covered with labels These labels
showed just what an awfully wide awake
fellow he was and where he had been and
how often. They were the record Of his
travels over the world. And as he had been
about a good bit they were curiosities. 1t
used To give my friend, who Is we'll known
In New York, immense satisfaction to see
the look of awe with which these relics
were regarded by porters and baggage men
and hotel clerks wherever he went. They
were that plastered with steamship cabin
marks and hotel pastors and custom
house labels and railway stamps that you
couldn't tell what they were except by the
shape.
We were in Detroit last winter, when he
came to my room in the hotel half intoxi-
Gated and the other half crazy with anger
AS soon as could get him to converse in
telligently between oaths calculated to
sink this confounded country out of sight
he told me that the chambermaid, in an
ticipation of an extra tip, had washed off
every last one of his pet earmarks, and that
it was blankety, blank
"And to think that / have to begin all
over again!" said he, the seven wasted
years staring him in the face. And 1t was
tough, you will admit. But that chamber
maid didn't get her tip.-New York Her

education has done much and nature
more. She has taste, elegance, spirit and
understanding. Warner says: "She is all
