GOOD ADVERTISING.
Wild and Dangerous Feat Accom-
pIished by an OId-Time Musical
Club of Boston.

In the days when advertising was
not a colossal business, as it is now,
the Mendelssohn Quintette club of
Boston engaged Mr.. d. IL. Elliot, a
Georgian and an eX-confederate Off
GER, as advance agent. He entered
into the business with dash and aban-
don, and some of his schemes were
delightfully."- calculated to draw the
public eye. Says Thomas Ryan, in his
"Recollections of an Old Musician:"
We made a little trip to Niagara
Falls, and gave two concerts. Imme-
diately after crossing the bridge over
the rapids to Goat island, there used
to be a small papermill on the right
hand side, the walls of which were
built directly on the edge of the wild,
rushing waters. Elliot went into the
office of the paper-mill, and asked if
they had any objection to his putting
up a poster on the walls of the mill
over the rapids. They laughed de-
risively, and answered: $50 ahead!"
We were using, as advertising mate
rial at that time, a long, snowy
streamer, which bore, in black letters
shaded by red on a white ground:
"Mendelssohn Quintette Club of Bos-
ton" 1t was stunning thing. 1t
could be read long distance away.
Elliot borrowed a skiff, put all his
pasting materials into it, hired some
trustworthy men to help, and got the
skiff across the bridge and into the
water. He then boarded it, with one
man to help, and his other assistants
on shore paid out a long rope to
which the boat was attached until
it reached the wall. There he pasted
up every letter, and returned to land
in safety.
1t was a wild and dangerous thing
to do, but it paid. The poster could
easily be read at the old Grand Trunk
railway bridge two miles distant, and
all along the Canada shore. Every
body went to see it, and it excited no
end of remark Our point was
gained; and as for the poster, it
stayed on the wall for two years.

MODEL MUNICIPALITY.
Dusseldorf, Prussia and Its Emcient
Management by the Iowa
Council.

In Prussia the towns present spec
tacle of autonomy and freedom from
bureaucratic influence which may well
excite our envy. The town council of
Dusseldor for instance, extends its
authority over far wider sphere than
any corresponding body in England,
says the London Daily News. The
town council is at once town council,
school board and poor law authority.
The extent of its activity is wonder
full. Waterworks, gas, electric light
ing, electric tramways, docks and har-
bors, slaughter houses, ice manufac-
tories, cattle markets, cemeteries, art
museums, theater, opera house, con.
cert halls, hospitals and orphanages
are among the many enterprises OF
the municipality. 1t is not necessary
to promote bills in parliament. What
the council thinks good for the town is
carried out without delay. There are
no veXatious inquiries and in most
cases no veto exercised by government
departments. It will interest our
readers to learn that loans as a rule
are borrowed for 100 years and that
the capital invested in some of the
working class dwellings is spread over
a still longer period. The factories in
Dusseldorf are distributed round the
suburbs. People passing through the
central part of the town would never
suspect their presence. Working peo.
pie, therefore, it will be seen, pass out.

town for the evening.

late, but it doesn't follow that never
reach the point of high tension. Nor
does it follow that l am a cold blooded
friend. A little sluggish blood some
times saves a friendship. Sit down and
tell me all about it,"
"And that is just what I may not
do" Somers studied the gloomy face
a moment in silence.
"You may at least tell me what you
would have me do, Frank"
81 would have you come here to-
night, let me blindfold you, take you to
certain room in this city have per-
formed over you ceremony which will
unite you to a perfectly honorable
woman, leave you there with her until
dawn, when shall bring you away. l
would have you ask me no question
now or hereafter touching this mat
ter; have you regard this woman to-
night as a holy charge and treat her
with the reverence and respect you
should yield to your dead sister; and
never from this moment until the day
comes when l may release you-and
that may be near or far-would have
you seek to discover her name or place
of living. By your marriage contract
you obtain no rights whatever over the
woman or her property assure you
she will claim nothing of you-and
when the time comes for her to ask an
honorable divorce at your hands-a
mere matter of few years, think
you are to grant it openly and freely
More than this l may not tell you"
Somers had leaned forward upon
the table and was looking with deep
interest into the speakers face.
"It sounds like an Elizabethan ro-
nance, or chapter from Don Caesar
de Bazan.' am approaching par
And then he added gravely: "You
have not forgotten that my mother
and yours were somehow cousins,
and"
''I have not. Nor have 1 forgotten
that a friends name and honor are
sacred whether he is or is not OF
kindred blood. And 1 have not for
gotten that the woman herself-this
woman of whom I speak-confers an
honor with her blind trust. There
has been my chief difficulty, Dick.

Frank! Sit down, and I will be serious.
Only-you will let me inquire into the
details of this marriage which you have
evidently planned for me-a man may
inquire about his own marriage, may
he not?" Somers' voice was now plain
tive. The doctor did not answer on the
moment, but walked to the window
and gazed gloomily into the blue spring
skies towards which the budding trees
of the old capitol were lifting their
arms in welcome.
"Of course, it is absurd, Dick" he
said, coming back, "and is obliged to
strike you so; but, do you know, be-
lieve that friendship is the one indy
ing bond of our race. All others have
their limitations-even love of man
and woman burns itself out. l believe
that somewhere between men such a
friendship as this exists: to love where
another loves instantly and forever;
to hate where he hates blindly and i'm
placably; to hold his honor higher and
sweeter than life, his happiness above
ones own; to feel this holy affection
so strong that it permeates every quail
ity of mind and body, and makes us in
truth that which we believe our friend
to be. In such friendship, Dick, self
perishes. We look into the eyes of our
friend and say Command! We do not
question; we trust implicitly, blindly;
and if we err"
Life is black forever!" Somers had
arisen, and, taking his friends hand,
was regarding with affection his
flushed face. THAT is Frank Brodnar
indeed" he continued. You mean it,
my dear fellow; and am satisfied that
if after five years of separation should
enter this room and say: My boy, if you
have no previous engagement and the
way is clear, you will do me a great
kindness by stepping down the street
and letting me marry you out of hand
to friend who is being or has been vic
timized'-wait, l am in earnest-you
would take up your hat, smooth your
hair, and join me before reached the
street or you had remembered the
madam and babies at home. But, my
dear fellow, l haven't the ability to
throw myself headlong into plot. 1t
is constitutional that l do not excite
easily. l must find my way up to par
by stages; while you, you were born
above par. You may guess from my
metaphor what l have been doing OF
