Notice.

A certain party has been trying to
injure my business by calling atlen-
ton to the present condition of the
pant on the new school house But
he is not manly enough to state the
reason it is not in the same first class
condition of the balance of my work.
In justice to myself | wish tn say
that the SHOOT house was painted in
Dec SO, during damp foggy weather
and on lumber that was not half
seasoned, and the paint WAS frozen
before it was thoroughly dry. How
ever, the painting had to be done at
that time, as the building was
needed
No one can deny that G. f. Hum
mel, the architect, and A. j. Hop
kins and W. f Sommercamp, mem
bers of the school board. are all re-
liable honest men, and if either one
of these gentleman will say that con-
dilions were such that good lob of
painting could be done at that time,
| will repaint the building free of
charge.
| have done work for over three
hundred customers in Weiser, and the
work was guaranteed. If any of
them have cause to complain, they
are invited to come to me and say
so.
However, | am sure that nv Gus
toners are not "kicklng" half as
much as his creditors. And | trust
that no attention will be paid to his
scurrilous mouthings, as his only
claim to distinction is based on the
fact that Jesus Christ rode one of
his ancestors into Jerusalem.
Respectfully,
MOVER, The PAINTER.

Production of Gold.

Commenting upon the decrease in
the worlds output Of gold last year
as compared with 1899, the Bankers
Magazine is undoubtedly right in say
ing that but for the Boer war the gold
product probably would have more
than maintained itself.
1t is almost as certainly wrong in
ton of silver as a standard of value
has within the last five years given a
great impetus to the discovery of new
gold deposits and the development of
gold mines" Gold production may
have been stimulated in Colorado and
some other parts of the United States
by the fall in the value of silver which
has been going on for much more than
five years, and which cannot have been
largely due to decentralization of sill
Yer The greatest of recent discoveries
of gold-that in South Africa-cannot
be regarded as due in any degree to
silver legislation, and the output Of
the TransVaal mines undoubtedly
would have been quite as great if no
country on earth had legislated in re-
gard to silver since 1870. 1t is prob
able enough that the continued great
output of gold will again arouse APP
prehensions of decided fall in the
purchasing power of that metal. such
as were expressed by the distinguished
French economist Michel Chevalier
after the great gold discoveries in Cali
foTnia and Australia. We may at least
reasonably anticipate a cessation OF
the insensate clamor or free coinage
Of silver and that contradiction Of
terms known as a double standard"
So long as the gold stock is increas-
ing at the rate of s2O0,O00,OOO to $780,
600, coo year it viii hardly be possible
to make political capital by raising an
uproar about the impoverishment OF
debtors by increasing the value of
gold With gold demonstrably falling
in value that kind OF uproar will not
promise good dividends to any adven-
turer in the world of politics.

Seville is the one place in the world
The dancing of the Seises before the
high altar, as I saw it at the feast of
the Immaculate Conception, to me, was
not simply a curious thing, but thing
perfectly dignifed, perfectly religious,
without suspicion of levity or indie
corun. This conservation of the dance,
this turning a possible vice into a
means of devotion, this bringing Of the
peoples art, the peoples passion, into
the church, finding it a place there, is
precisely one of those acts of divine
worldly wisdom which the Catholic
church has often practiced in her con-
quest of the world. And 1t is a quite
logical development Of that very elab-
crate pantomine, using the word in all
seriousness, which the ceremonies of
the church really are, since all have
their symbolical meaning, which they
express by their gestures. Already we

Advertising is a mode of education
by which the knowledge Of consumable
goods is increased. 1t sets forth the
peculiar excellence Of novelties. keeps
in mind the merits of staple articles,
and thus increases the general demand
for commodities This method of max
ing the public acquainted with goods
has been resorted to because the mod
ern system of distribution requires that
goods be sold in large quantities. Pro-
duction increases, competition becomes
more fierce. and purchasers must be
found. Business men recognize that
advertising can increase sales by in
creasing the peoples familiarity with
goods. This better knowledge not
only helps to educate the individual
but trains him IN other ways His
powers Of discrimination are exercised
and developed by the necessity of
making a choice between the articles.
Even the abuses OF advertising aid him
for he learns By his mistakes. Adver-
tisement sometimes creates a demand
sometimes directs It What greater
stimulus can there be for an inventor
than the fact that method is In vogue

The court, however, prejudiced
against her as a foreigner, though it

ground that she had really done moth

Lack of funds prevented her from
taking any further steps TO establish
her rights. The social power of her
stern fanatic old mother-in-law, the
Duchess OF Chevreuse, was too great
to admit of any one risking her anger
by befriending the unfortunate young
Duchess. Every door was closed

act being proved against her she died
Of hunger as an outcast in a Paris

law in the south Of France.
