A man who should plant yege-
table or flower seeds and expect
them to germinate and the plants
to flourish and reach maturity with
out any further attention would
have his trouble for his pains. A
man who should start business
venture and expect it to become
successful without the aid of pub
licity would also waste his time and
cash. A business needs advertis-

An Unpleasant Operation.

The following from the st. Louis
Globe Democrat shows how danger
Gus it is for an Arizonian to follow
Arizona customs while visiting in
the east:
John Jones had to suffer much yes
terday because a druggist imagined
he had taken poison. He is SO years
old and refuses to tell where he
lives further than that he came
from Arizona. About 8 o'clock yes
terday afternoon he was standing in
the door Of Sixth street drug store,
and while there drew small bottle
from his pocket and drank the con-
tents, of dark brownish color. The
druggist saw Jones swallow the stuff
and, thinking it poison, rushed out
and called a policeman. The drug
gist told the policeman that the man
had taken laudanum. The man de-
MED that he had taken poison and
told the officer that he had merely
taken drink of whiskey. The officer
was in quandry, but decided that
an ounce of prevention was worth a
pound of cure, so he summoned an
ambulance and had the supposed
would be- suicide conveyed to the
city dispensary. There a siphou
was brought into use, but no trace
of poison could be found, but for
safety it was deemed best to send
Jones to the city hospital. There
the siphon was again used with the
same result. Jones was rather weak
after the pumping and was sent to a
ward. He denies that he took poison
and claims it was all a mistake, all
save the pumping part, and that, he
declared, was very unpleasant.

Merit Always Wins

The hard times of the past
three or four years have been
very destructive to all industrial
affairs, and the railroads have had
unusual amount of difficulty in
making both ends meet. Roads
that have, during this trying
period, earned dividends while at
the same time affording high-class
transportation facilities to their
patrons, have, indeed, been fortu-
nate. And such an event speaks
we'll for the management of the
roads.
The record of the Nickel Plate
Road during the recent period of
industrial depression has indeed
been remarkable, and it speaks
most, eloquently of the conserva-
tive judgment of the managers.
For this road has made great and
steady progress in the material
improvement of its roadway and
appliances, and in perfecting its
equipment. The interests of the
public have been in no wise neg
lected; in fact, the success of this
road has Injured to the benefit of
the public, as much, if not more,
than to the stockholders. The
condition of the road to-day shows
this. Great and valuable i'm
provements of permanent char
acter have been made-in the
shape of strengthening the road
way, bridges and other accessories,
and procuring new and improved
safety appliances; new coaches
have been added, elegant Pullman
sleeping cars put on, new and
powerful engines have been placed
in service, and everything has
been done to raise the standard of
the road, to perfect its service, and
to give it a leading place among
the best roads in the country.
The result has been obvious. The
people have observed the progress
sive spirit of this road, have given
it liberal patronage, hav en-
joyed its excellent facilities-and
that tells the whole story Of a
highly successful enterprise.
Among the noteworthy improve
ments effected by the Nickel Plate
Road is the introduction of first
class dining car service, which
has won the approval of the best
class of patrons. Then the coaches
have been Illuminated by the
brilliant Pintsch gas, heated by
steam and placed in care of a COL
ored porter, 80 the passengers
have the best money can afford, at
the lowest rates. The through
train service of the Nickel Plate,
running in connection with the
West Shore and Fitchburg rail
roads-over the great Hoosae Tun
mel Route, between New York,
Boston and Chicago, ranks with
the best in the country, and has
become deservedly popular. Ele-
giant new coaches, and palatial
Pullman buffet sleeping cars run
through without change; the ser
vice is unexcelled, the time fast
and the scenery most fascinating.
Located along the south shore
of Lake Erie are many substan-
tial and attractive summer resorts
that are yearly growing in popu,,
larity, and this class of travel
promises a continual increasing
source of revenue to the Nickel
Plate Road.
