About Advertising.

Some seem to have the idea that
advertising il an exact science
shat unless q man has studied it he
cannot make success of it. They are
wrong. Advertising is not an exact
Silence. All that any one knows is
that the experts make it pay-and
that others who are a long way from
experts make it pay, too. When
done in the right way and spiri',
and placed in the right mediums,
and stuck to perseveringly, t pays.
That is about all any one knows
about it. II is SO far from an exact
science that no man can come Ia
another man and show him just
how, or where. or when an ad will
pay. These are things which each
advertiser must find out for himself
and the finding out takes time and
is difficult process. A man is Ii.
abe to get lost, but If he does he
may he sure that there is way out
and that if he keeps pedaling away
he will find it sooner or ltter.-The

AN AMATEUR PIRATE.
Mrj. stede bonnet Turned from Farm
Ing to FreebOOtinR and Became
A Greedy RObber.

Early in the eighteenth century there
lived at Bridgetown, in the island of
Barbados, very pleasant, middle-aged
gentleman named Maj. Stede Bonnet.
lie was man in comfortable circum-
stances and had been an officer in the
British army. He had retired from mil
itary service, and had bought an estate
at Bridgetown, where he lived in com
fort and was respected by his neigh
bors
But for some reason or other this
quiet and reputable gentleman got il
into his head that he should like TO be a
pirate. But besides the general rea-
sons why Maj. Bonnet should not be-
come pirate, and which applied to all
men us well as to himself, there was a
special reason against his adoption of
the profession of sea robber-he was
an out-and-out landsman and knew
nothing whatever of nautical matters.
lie was fond Of history and well read in
the literature of the day. lie was ac-
customed to the habits of good society,
and knew "A good deal about farming
and horses and COWS and poultry.
But Notwithstanding his absolute un-
fitness for such IA life, Maj. Bonnet was
determined to become a pirate, and he
became one. lie had enough money to
buy ship and to fit her out and man
her, and this he quietly did at Bridge
town, nobody supposing that he was
going TO do anything more than start
off on some commercial cruise. When
everything was ready his vessel slipped
out of the harbor one night, and after
he was sailing safely on the rolling sea
he stood upon the quarter deck and pro-
claimed himself pirate. lie ran up
the black flag, girded on "A great cut
lass, and folding his arms he ordered
of Virginia.
Bonnet's men were practiced seamen,
and so when this green hand" came
into the waters of Virginia he actually
took two or three vessels and robbed
them Of their cargoes, burning the ships
and sending the crews ashore.
This had grown to be common Gus
tom among the pirates, who, though
cruel and hard hearted, had not the
i inducements of the old buccaneers to
torture and murder the crews Of the
vessels which they captured. 1t was
called "marooning," and was somewhat
less heartless than the old methods.
AS Bonnet wished TO adopt the Gus
toms Of the society in which he placed
himself, when he found himself too far
from land to put the captured crew or
shore he did not hesitate to make them
walk the plank, favorite device OF
pirates whenever they had no conven
lent way Of disposing of their prisoners
In one branch of his new profession
Bonnet rapidly advanced. He soon be
came greedy robber and cruel con
queror. He captured merchant vessels
all along the coast as far north as New
England.-Frank r. Stockton, in st
Nicholas.

ARE rHE TAXPAYERS BENEFIrTEpr

We as taxpayers OF the city Of Bel
ding need TO look we'll to our interest
as regards this matter OF lighting our
streets. The home company offers
lighting until one o'clock a. m. for
$47 90 per light year, the new com
pany for $4,000 per light agar for the
same time. The home company offer
lights till one o'clock a. IN. aud from
5 a. m. until daylight for the benefit of
working people going to work for $50 90
light per year Now which is more
beneficial TO us as working people,
shall we pay $50 90 for lights till one
o'clock a. m, or $4,000 and have lights
in the morning when the majority are
going TO work? The council say the
200 candle power offered by home
company, for longer lighting, is not as
good as the offer of 2, 900 candle power
by the new company for short lighting.
How can the council reconcile this as
against early lighting, which home
company hold as OF more general beue-
fit to the working public and taxpayers
OF Beldingp So we say-all cities
around us are using / 200 candle power.
Another thing, why did council rush
through this proposition by the new
company in one night and take ten
weeks on proposition by the home
company? While they further admit
their ignorance of the meaning OF cer-
tain portions OF their specification,
which are capable of various construc-
tions, and are liable to preciptate a
lawsuit against the city, this also ad-
mitted by the council. Is it just TO us
as taxpayersp Better take reason
able time to consider all propositions
and know they are right before going
ahead. Again, the men who belong To
the home company are men who have
helped TO build up the town, taken an
Interest in It's success and patroniZe
home institutions. Remember the
money paid by US as taxpayers, if paid
10 the new company goes TO build up
the city of Lowell Is this justice TO
| you and |, as home owners in our little
town. Let US beware. This cry of
cheap llpntlnR TOT MONIES anu uuSlheSs
| places, looks TO me like a scheme TO
furnish Il little cheaper lighting TO a
few, who are abundantly able TO pay
for the luxury of electric lights, at the
expense OF the many who cannot afford
even under the promise of cheaper
| lighting, or ever receive one iota Of
benefit Of home lighting. 1t Is only
placing another power into the bands
of the few, where the few receive the
benefit, and the many deprived of it.
In the matter of city lighting the in
terest OF our own town and its taxpayers
should alone be considered. We are
all interested A TAXPAYER.

ADMIRAL DEWEY ON EXPANSION.

The policy OF the United States dur
Ing the'past, century has been one OF ex-
pansion, and in delivering the Filipinos
from serfdom we are not departing from
the traditions of our people. The IN.
habitants not only can, but will be
ruled by a just firm hand. The elm
ate Is not much worse than in our south
ern states, and the soil capable OF pro-
ducing great manv things unknown
to the natives. Sixty years ago, Kan
sas, was barren waste, inhabited by
savage animals and by men still more
savage. Look at Kansas today-great
In all that goes TO make state-but
vastly great in agriculture. As far
back as 1882 there was more wheat pro-
duced within its boundaries than would
furnish bread TO the inhabitants OF these
islands. Insurmountable obstacles were
overcome by American grit enterprise
and industry why not here, where al
ready exports OF raw hemp amount to
ST. coo, 600 and tobacco $4,000, 900 per
annum. And this is only the dawn.
The agricultural implement is unknown
and the advent of the surveyor, the tel
egraph operator and the engineer, both
miuing and locomotive, the plumber
the carpenter and builder and the elec
trician, would work as wondrous "a tran
formation as is visible in the Kansas Of
today. We are now a producing nation
to an extent far in excess Of our needs.
Why not create a market for our sur
plus goods? Remove the agitators and
spoils men, give the Filipinos chance
to understand us, and the cost will be
cheerfully borne and the result be OF
mutual and lasting benefit.
