Editor Convinced Him.

"Once when I was publishing a paper
in the Midlands, convinced man in
the most emphatic way that it paid to
advertise" said an old journalist. "He
was a fairly prosperous merchant, and
l had tried for long time to get him
to insert an advertisement in my pa
per.
"'Oh, it's no use! he would say i
never read the advertisements in pa
per, and no one else does. I believe
in advertising, but in way that will
force itself upon the public. Then it
pays. But in a newspaper-pshaw!
Everybody who reads newspaper
lodges the advertising pages as if they
were poison
"'Well, if can convince you that
people do read the advertising pages Of
my paper, will you advertiser
"'Of course will. advertise where
ever think it will do any good
1.-THE next day I had the following
line stuck in the most obscure corner
of the paper between a couple of pat
ent medicine advertisements:
what is Cohen going to do about
it?'
1.-THE next day SO many people an
noyed him by asking what that line
meant that he begged me to explain the
matter in my next issue. l promised to
do SO if he would let me write the ex-
PLANTATION and do what l said. He
agreed, and I wrote: He is going to
advertise, of course And he did

New York-There have been further
shipments OF gold this week. but money
rates continue easy and the outflow OF
the metal has had no appreciate enect
on the situation Even the stock markets
have almost entirely ignored the matter.
Money in New York is being freely offer
pd as low as per cent OH loans running
the rest of the year. Call money in Wall
street has this week loaned below per
cent. and the Chicago banks have vo.un-
tarily reduced their rates from to AZ
per cent
The stock markets have been dull ana
narrow Throughout the week the move
ment has been unsatisfactory to both the
bull and bear interests. Neither side has
shown any aggressiveness, and the conse-
auence is that fluctuations have been too
small to permit Of much in-and-out trad
ing.
Chicago.-Speculativ dealings on the
Board of Trade were OF fair volume and
more than average activity in all the
chief markets, with the one important eX-
ception Of wheat, which was for the most
part dull. Fluctuations in the latter were
confined to q narrow range. From such
a showing it is clear that speculative feel
ing is not far from being evenly balanced
between bulls and bears That is like
wise further attested by remark heard
frequently from both sides, and as often
from the one as the other, that they can
see nothing in the market" The equi-
librium might easily be upset by any one
Of quite a number of possibilities. The
world has still to live three months on
last years crop, and from the present
outlook and rate of consumption CONNER
cial stocks are likely to be reduced to a
point that might of itself threaten serl-
GUS loss to short sellers. The season ID
Europe is late, and consumption might be
prolonged thereby somewhat beyond the
usual time In addition the prospect at
present is for poor crop in France and
deficient yield in the United Kingdom.
Perfect conditions for the home crop in
the Southwest are minimized to some eX-
tent by the poor outlook in several of the
important wheat-growing States of the
central winter wheat area. Accidents
may happen where the crop is now the
most promising, and the ravages of in
scots in the already infested districts are,
from recent information on the subject,
rapidly spreading into fresh territory.
Anything is possible of the spring wheat
crop. The price of wheat is low; cautious
men are not selling it short. The adj
vance in corn and provisions has been
checked and both have suffered some de-
pTecsation in value.

The evening was oppressively warm,
even for that season of the year. The
anchor was being weighed, and there was
the usual hustle about the decks Incl
dental to the final preparations for q
long voyage.
Hurry up, or you'll get carried out tc
set, Uncle Zach.' called out Eastwood,
presently. .'Steam's up, and your boat
man is yelling for you yonder at the foot
of the ladder"
Weems had made his adieux to the rest
of the party, and now, quitting the rail
against which he had been leaning, he
advanced hesitatingly toward Miss Muir
''Can / speak few words with you
before I quit the ship, Miss Muiry' said
he, with smile that was very forced.
Certainly"
Il have tried my best to fulfill the in
structions concerning you which receiv-
ed from Sir Luke, Miss Muir" he stam-
mered, trying to take her hand, which,
however, she did not permit.
Indeed, | am sure you have, Mr..
Weems!" she exclaimed, quite heartily,
and not without embarrassment; for she
had begun to fear within the past few
hours that she had been somewhat want
ing in the respect that was due from her
to Mr. Weems, as the accredited agent
of Sir Luke Dalziel. "And l really hope
that l have not seriously disconnected
you by my peryerseness in this matter,
as you are at liberty to call it now

with her bright smile. Trust me for
that"
"Of course, I do; but still-you
wouldn't despise a little advice that l
might offer, hope?
ION the contrary, shall doubtless be
grateful for any advice you may offer"
said Miss Muir.
This, for one thing, thenr' said he,
speaking in deep, hurried whisper: "On
no account ever let Dunmore know OF
your expected marriage with Sir Luke
Dalziel."
She drew back, surprised and little
indignant.
MIR. Dunmore, sir, will prove himself
too much Of a gentleman to NEEDLE in my
private affairs" she replied, coldly.

you may live to rue it!' he exclaimed.
passionately. But, no, no! l forgot
you will not live to rue it. That is inn
possible!'
What do you mean, sir?" exclaimed
the young woman, thoroughly frighten-
ed. Il do not understand"
Forgive me! 1t was nothing-nothing
at all!''
do you wish to say anything more to
me, Mr.. Weems?' said she, making a
step as though to rejoin her companions.
'This-only this"' he cried, in his
hoarse, choking whisper, and this time
Selling her hand in spite Of her. miss
Muir, if anything happens-if this ship
meets with disaster-don't forget that l
tried to save you from her doom. Don't
forget that-that did my best to keep
you back; even when death stares you
in the face, remember this-that l would
have done anything to save you, howsO-

Great heavens! what can you mean,
sir? Is there any secret danger!
"No, no; none whatever! l did but

Waving his hand he wildly rushed to
the side of the ship, and then down
into the shore-boat that was still await

ANOTHER BALLOT LAW.

Maryland is considering a bill which
provides for an election ballot bearing
the names Of all candidates in a single
column without party emblems or
groupings.

jects to this because "it requires the
voter to be able to read in order to vote
for the nominees of his choice" 1t

scheme" and says that the effect VIII

This : a strange admission. Does
the Mail and Express wish to have it
understood that the hope of the Re
publican party rests upon the iIliteracy
Of voters?
Another eastern Journal insists that,
for the benefit Of coIored voters, the
party emblems, at least, should appear

ponents right sure that this would
help them out? Isn't it more than
likely that the negro voter viii reach

POLO BETWEEN BATTLES.

The New York Sun notes with Won
der and missivings that English Off
GERS in South Africa indulge in the
frivolous, if exhilerating, pastime of
polo between battles. Indicating a want
Of serious appreciation which their pre-
dicament demands
Has there not been too much polo
or other things of its kind?' asks the
Sun. Has not civilian play taken time
that should have been given to military
work? And has not play filed the
minds Of its votaries in the British
army with thoughts Of cups and
matches and how to win them, instead
Of with the serious problems which SOL
diers must expect to meet and be
trained to solve? We incline to think
it has"
Nonsense. The Sun has allowed its
anxiety to betray it into an unusual
and ridiculous state of gravity.
There is little time between battles
for this so-called civilian play. The
intermissions are pIOhtabIy employed

WoTkmen. 1t is well for them to occa-
sionally indulge a game. they. can play.
