TO ADVERTISERS.

Don't be taken IN by fake advertis-
ing schemes. There is only one way
to reach the entire public who buy,
and that is by using the newspaper.
This is the time of year when BUSINESS
men are besieged with schemes for
advertising, in which SO far as to be-
neht themselves, they might as we'll
throw their money in the street. You
reach more legitimate buyers by ad-
vertising in one edition of newspa-
per than in a dozen sucn ventures.
This is also the time of year in which
the people are commencing to look
around tor Christmas gifts and conse-
quently every advertisement is care
fully read, as everybody wants to pur-
chase where they can buy the
cheapest.

The Boston mystery is still un-
solved. On the 27th of April just a
little over seven months ago Grace
Stevenson, a beautiful millionaire
heiress disappeared from her home,
and up to the present time her parents
have never heard from her. On the
day mentioned above the young lady
tripped out of the house to do some
trifling errand at the corner store.
She had nothing but slippers on her
feet and no wrap over her shoulders.
There have been all sorts of thereorles
advanced, but the mystery is as thick
as ever
Thus is the Grace Stevenson case
passing into history as one of the most
profound mysteries of late years, while
her parents languish and fade away in
its blight, and the world wonders and
reads with absorbing interest the
slightest possible clue to its solution.

Dickson defeated State College at
foot ball at Sunbury last Thursday
afternoon. 1t was not because Dick
son has the best team because such
IS not the case, nor did she play any
better ball. but the over confidence
of State College seemed to make her
players careless and as a result Dick
son ran away with the game. 1t isn't
bad judgement TO think that State
College can defeat Dickson nine out
ten games.

Harvard University students have
undertaken to erect religious guild
hall in memory of the late Phillips
Brooks. The nucleus of fund has
already been secured, and there can
be no doubt that the laudable project
will yet be accomplished in a beht-
ting manner. The scholarship and
eloquence, as we'll as Christian zeal,
of Bishop Brooks merit such remem-
brance. AT the University of Michi-
gan the Episcopalian students long
ago dedicated a guild hall to Bishop
Hobart.

At the Universities.

Some man has discovered and called
general attention to the fact that in
this country, the schools closed to
male students exceed in number those
closed to female students. Another
man professor Won Hartman of Ger
many, consoles the women who are
shut out of the universities in this
wise:
"The lecture rooms seem to have n
magical attraction for you; they are
for you the paradise of intelligence.
Absurd mistake! They are much more
like barracks, where one learns me-
chanically the manual of arms. Tam
going to tell you the great secret; the
best means of education is reading.
Let those of you who care little about
diplomas, and whose sole ambition is
to cultivate your minds, stay at home
and read! Get It well into your heads
that your brothers and your future
husbands, who, after leaving the uni
versity. do not read, will never be
anything but stupid ignoramuses, and
that all the universities in the world
are useless to woman who knows
how to read"
