A HERD or IRISH BULLS.

Irish Baronet (Sir Boyle Roche)
to friend in London, during the
Irish rebellion of 1898:
my Dear Sir:-Having now a
little peace and quietness, [ sit
down to inform you of the dread
full hustle and confusion we are in
from these bloodthirsty rebels,
most of whom are, thank God,
killed and dispersed. We are
pretty mess; can get nothing to
eat, nor any wine to drink, except
whisky, and when we sit down to
dinner we are obliged to keep both
hands armed; while | write this
letter | hold sword in one hand
and pistol in the other. l con-
cluded from the beginning that
this would be the end of it; and |
saw | was right, for it is not half
over yet. At present there are
such goings on that everything is
at stand. should have answered
your letter a fortnight ago, but |
only received it this morning. In
deed, hardly a mail arrives safe,
without being robbed. No longer
ago than yesterday the coach with
the mails from Dublin was robbed
near the town; the bags had been
iudiciously left behind, for fear of
accidents; and by good luck, there
was nobody in the coach, but two
outside passengers, who had moth
ing for the thieves to take. Last
Thursday an alarm was given that
a gang of rebels were advancing
hither, under the French standard;
but they had no Colors, nor any
drums, except bagplpes. lmmedi-
ately every man in the place, in
Guiding women and boys, ran out
to meet them. We soon found our
force much too little, and they
were far too near for us to think
of retreating; death was in the
face; but to it we went, and by the
time half of our party was killed
we begun to be all alive. Fortu
nately the rebels had no guns but
pistols, cutlasses and pixies; and as
we had plenty of muskets and am
munition, we put them all to the
sword; not a soul of them escaped,
except some that were drowned in
an adjoining bog; and, i'll a very
short time, nothing was to be heard
but silence. Their uniforms were
all of different colors, but mostly
green. After the action we went
to rummage their camp. All we
found was a few pixies without
heads, parcel of empty bottles
full of water and bundle of blank
French commissions filled up with
Irishmen's names. Troops are now
stationed everywhere round the
country, which exactly squares
with my ideas. Nothing, however,
can save us but a union with Eng
land, which would turn our barren
hills into fertile valleys. | have
only leisure to add that | am, in
great haste, yours truly

RETAIL ADVERTISING DIFFICULTIES.

of the advertisements. | know
that many of my readers have
been through the mill" You start
off with a well sharpened pencil
and numerous sheets of paper.
You get as far as 1--WE desire to
call the attention of the public to
our" and then you think
what a venerable chestnut this
style of introduction is, and you
destroy the sheet only to break
out again in another antediluvian
style.
After numerous and painful eff
forts you get together a list OF
goods with prices, and you call Mr..
Bighead and ask him to make sug-
gestions. He makes them and you
change your copy to suit them, be-
cause you think that he knows it
all. You have it now ready for
the paper, but you conclude that
Miss Freshly's views should be
taken. You call her and she
doesn't know anything about it,
but she thinks she does. She does,
however, know that she is expect
ed to do something, so she cuts out
part of Mr.. Bighead's efforts and
puts in something that she thinks
sounds pretty By this time you
feel like going out and getting
drunk to drown your troubles.
In time the advertisement, by
the united efforts of the establish
ment, is completed and you smile
to think how we'll it will look i'll
Sundays paper You have taken
half page and you expect great
return. When you get the paper
you eagerly search and find your
advertisement and also the one of
another house, and you feel in
your bones that, although the
other ad is small, it will bring
much bigger return than your
own. You feel that there is some
thing in it which makes it attract
i've. You know that it will be read
with interest for unconsciously
you have done it yourself.
1t was only few days ago that
| was speaking with a buyer in
one of the large stores in a nearby
city, and he said: The old man
is bright and sharp about business
and | cannot say anything to the
contrary except when he is getting
up an advertisement, and then |
swear that | think he has not got
all his buttons. Some of our
friends may not know what the
slang phrase means, but they can
make shrewd guess.
A buyer of certain house that
is well known as being a persist
ent advertiser told me that he
spent almost every evening trying
to evolve original ads, and not
withstanding that he purchased
for four stocks, he considered buy
ing child's play compared to writ
ing advertisements.
The part that gals me most is
that II. * Co, who do not take
nearly as much space as we, get
much larger return from advertis-
ing a special article than we do.
1t is all in the way in which H. &
Co. S man says it."
A merchant, in speaking about
this matter some time ago, said
that he was paying large salary
to a man to write his ads in such
style that the public would pay
attention to them. why, do you
know that he has got into the same
rut as all the other houses; he does

IN such high esteem as our honor
able town council. In last weeks

to the publication of an itealized

bursements of said council during

oCared to publish it at one-tourth
the legal rate. Since then several
members Of the council have told
Us that their objection to the pub
licarion of this statement was
based solely on the ground of the
expense Involved, and that cur
proposition had never been placed
before The council.
This being the status Teruna,

now up to the council to show
their good faith by accepting it. so
