Poor Way to Advertise.

From the Springfield Republican.
The Business Mems Association held an
important meeting last evening and unani-
mously voted to subscribe to an agreement
not to advertise In small programs and the
like outside of the regular newspaper and
other established publications The Quss-
ton was talked over at length and 1t was
stated that there was more or less of a
threat Of loss OF business in some cases of
requests for program advertising IL the
merchants did not advertise. Moreover 1t
has been learned that often the business
men subscribed to help along some society
when as a matter of fact the program was
sold to a regular canvasser who made the
greater part of the profit. the society or
organization getting very little. In case a
deserving object of some special nature
came along. the secretary could Investigate
and report to the association. Among those
who took part In the discussion were the
leading merchants and business men of the

The I,aat ROae.

IT'S the last rose Of summer,
But never a sigh
Is uttered at parting;
No tear dims the eye.
For that was a summer
OF warmth and regret;
A summer of terrors
Well never forget.
IT'S the last rose Of summer
We speed it with scorn.
For what we remember
Is mainly the thorn;
Then silence, o minstrel
With sorrowful lay!
IT'S the last rose Of summer

Az Rob. dressed in his picturesque
Spanish costume, stood on the deck,
he thought he had never seen 10 many
Misunderstanding men. They would

jump aboard. Then the black boat
men and the crow OF the BLACK Cat"
would be busy for time, in trans-
ferring from the holi of the schooner
to the boats the packages and cases
and casks Of the contraband cargo.
Captain Torrevo was here, there and
everywhere, giving loud commands in
q language that Rob did not under
stand, and which would scarcely be un-
derstood by any one whose tongue
was limited to the precise Language Of
any one country.
Captain Torrevo passed Rob several
times without paying him any atten-
tion. What was Rob's great surprise,
then. when tho captain OF the BLACK
Cat" suddenly turned on him with
frightful oath and struck him with
ropes end.

frightened.

As Rob, without trying to soften the

Upon this horse was seated man Of

The men on the boat now began to
pick up their burdens, and poor Rob,
not one-fifth as strong as one of these
fellows, did the same. He unfortunate

heavy for him, and staggered with it

In an instant there was a swish, and
the Englishman's whip came down on
Rob's shoulders. n
Get on with you!'' he said. "If you
can't do better than that, what good
are you?"
Rob, not knowing but an answer
would bring him another blow, shut
his teeth hard and took up smaller
package. With this, which he could

There was now steady line of men

coming after him, he walked up the
slope. and at the summit OF the ridge
found that there was steep descent
on the other side. And down this there
was swampy place, toward which the
men went. They did not go into the
swamp, however. Turning one side,
they continued till they reached spot
where the side of the hill was almost
straight. Here there was small open
ing, almost hidden by growth Of trees
and bushes. These were being held

from the dark hands that heidit out
to him, and succeeded In getting 1t In

In this way. with much roaring and
cursing by Torrevo. the boat was load
ed. and then started toward the shore.
Tho tall man on the horse now got
down on the ground, and stood with .
heavy whip Ia his hand and ma
leyolent expression on his face. This
man was evidently an Englishman or
an American. Rob had thought the
dark. evil faces on the BLACK Cat"
dreadful to look at, but there was
something SO utterly cruel in this
mans face that he seemed to make the
others gentle by comparison.
Hurry up. there!" he shouted in
English. fiourishing his whip. I'VE are
being watched every day now. There
may be soldiers here any minute. Get

The men strained harder. and soon
the fiat nose Of the boat was showed up
on the sand. The men leaped out, each
one giving a quick look at the master,
as II expecting every moment cut
with the heavy whip.
Hey, Torrevo. who is this?" he
shouted, pointing to Rob.
That fool of nephew Of mine"
shouted back the captain of the BLACK
Cat" "He is no good. but he would
make a trip with me. Whip him. II
he Is lazy
Rob remembered what Torrsvo had
said about his appearance as the
nephew Of the captain of "El Cato
Negro" and wondered II he, as Rob
Cleverdale. had any more to fear than
he was getting as Torrevo's nephew. 1t
seemed to be the object of Torrevo to
make him out as stupid and worthless
as possible, and to give the English
man the impression that he hated his
nephew.
