and it don't pay to throw dirt.
1t is ridiculous for Spain, after its

directed the Spanish policy in Cuba.
IL is reported that a young woman
who is candidate for the mayOralty of
Jeffersonville, Ind, offers to give a kiss
to every man who will vote for her.
The new woman is giving lively whirl
to the closing years of the nineteenth
century, and the old man might as well
abandon all tempts to compete with
her.

In the LaPorte Jail are two men
charged with the murder of Policemen
in this city One is James MulIaney,
the ex-Lake Shore detective, and the
other Jack Burke, who belonged to the
old gang that once held sway in Lang's
ravine. 1t was Mullaney's duty to look
after this crowd and it seems strange
that both should be charged with two
different crimes of the same nature.

Whenever the merchants of town
fail to advertise their wares in their To-
Cal newspapers, that town becomes the
lawful prey of the auction vender and
street fakir. Those fellows have thelI
weather eye open for business all the
time. They scan the papers carefully
and keep themselves posted. And they

The way to get customers is to talk to
them through the columns of your pa

your name and business. A refusal to
advertise is standing invitation to the
street fakir to come and take possession
