THEY ARE COMING.

Bills against Edwin B. Giles &
Co., Philadelphia, Pa. are coming
along in bupches this month. Of
course. and theE a lot of I-think-I
know-my-bus;l.ess publishers pre-.
fer to help out advertisers like
Giles and get nothing for it than
to invest two doll ars to find out as
to their standing, and at the same
time have a clean publication, but
how could half the advertisers live
If half the publishers were not
suckers?
MORE OF THE SCHEME.
When a publisher mails Ed
win B. Giles & Co., a bill, he is
informed that if he will secure an
order for them he is to have one
half. This is in the nature Of eom-
pounding a crime. Giles sticks
the publisher and the publisher is
in turn requested to do his best to
hold up the druggist. The drug
gist Can take bis chances as to how
he will act toward the public.
GETTING BOLD.
The Noyes-Fuller Company is
another wsuld.be medical advsr-
tiser with head quarters in Phila-
delphia. 1t is so dangerously
near Edwin B. Giles & Co., that
it is liable to get contaminated.
1t also has every appearance OF
being Edwin B. Giles & Co.
The company will be American
agents for several remedies made
in foreign countries. The spree
it is willing to contract for is so
large that 1t causes suspicion at
once. The success of Giles & Go.
in securing space appears to make
others bold, and the Noyes-Fuller
Company especially. Nothing in
sight at present to warrant other
than cash in advance proceedings.
We have been carrying an ad-
vertisement of the Giles concern
for SIX months and fnd it impossi-
BILE to collect anything at all, and
we hereby warn both publishers
and druggists against their fraud.
ulent schemes. 1t would be in
teresting to hear from other vic
Tins of the newspaper fraternity
who have been caught by Giles.

WORTH S3OO,OOO, 900.

The President of a certain big Oil Com
pany is said to be worth $500, 900. A
tidy bit of money and no mistake. And
yet he isn't happy. In an address to Bible
class he spoke of trials and troubles of the
rich and the loads they have to carry. A
young lady whispered to friend that he
might weahR Benson's Porous Plaster on his
back or, better still, divide the money among
the members of the class. don't know
why her idea about the plaster makes me
want to laugh, but it does. All the same
have seen plenty of people laugh after
putting Benson's Plasters on their backs
or chests, or on any other spot where there
was weight, heaviness, weakness or pain.
1t may be the sharp stal'3 of neuralgia, the
aches and wrenches of rheumatism it may
be colds in muscles or bones; it may be
those kidney or lumbago thrusts that make
you yell as at dog bite; or it may be a

salves, iniments, lotions, ETC., or with any
of the stupid and useless old style plasters.

American Capital in London.

The invasion OF London by Ameri-
can capital. says an Englishman now
in New York, has stirred up the Eng
lish as much as did the arrival Of the
Dutch fleet of the mouth Of the
Thames in the olden time. The effect
has been to awaken British capital to
its possibilities. English pride has
been hurt and every endeavor will be
made to keep abreast OF the new and
aggressive rival. Whether the English
will be able to compete with America
in the Improvement of its own transit
properties. however. is much-dis-
puted question. The success Of the
"two-penny tube" built by Americans
after American methods and operated
with American cars. is resulting in the
renovation and extension of other an
tiquated underground lines in which
the Americans are taking the initi..-
tive. Englishmen believe, however,
that the underground railroad projects
CT the Americans are only the begin
nilAgs OF others in their country. and
accordingly are bestirring themselves
in order not to be forestalled along
other lines.

and t will catch her on the train"
With which advice Mr.. Bob Garri-
son got up and danced cheerful can
can on The hearth, after which hs took
his departure. promising to JOIN his
friend next day At the depot
Unfortunately Blake was of a nerv-
GUS disposition. and he began to con-
oeive the dreadful results of making
a mistake. He told himself the thing
was impossible. but it worried him
just the same. Two years are two
years, and In that time girl develops
into young woman. Certainly In the
photograph he could not make sure
which Of the girls was Gladys. Some
times 1t seemed to him that the one on
the right was undoubtedly she. then
again he was just az sure that the
other one was his betrothed. He had
seen her look exactly like both OF
them. The more he looked at it the
more it seemed to him that the two
pair of dancing eyes in the photograph
challenged him mockinsiy for an an
swer. Finally he threw it down in
despair.
I'm making a mountain out OF
molehilI,' he assured himself. When
I see the girls I'll know which is
Gladys fast enough. It's just like
Bob to try and worry me about it.
IN just fool him this trip"
nevertheless he found himself wip-
ing the drops Of perspiration from his
brow at the mere thought Of the pos
sibilities
He did not find the situation any
more tolerable next day at the depot.
Bob Garrison was on hand, full OF
badinage and advice as to the best
way Of getting out of it. He seemed
to take it for granted that Blake was
going to make a mistake. and by the
time the train drew in Jim had allowed
himself to be badgered into condi-
tion In which he would hardly have
recognized his own father
Blake saw vision OF loveliness de-
scending the car steps which he recog-
nized at once as Gladys. There could
be no doubt about it. and he went for
ward with radiant face and out
stretched hand. She even wore q
brooch with a miniature set in 1t on
the belt about her waist which he re-
membered to have seen before. Jim
had always understood that 1t was not
the proper thing to salute a young
woman in public place, but for this
one occasion he made an exception. He
was going to show Bob Garrison that
he was not so slow after all. A moment
later he looked up to see second
Gladys standing beside him with
curious smile on her lips. For just
second doubt crossed his mind, but
then be recollected the miniature and
