ment of such course by newspapers
would be of no value If it were not in
accordance with well known facts.
We do not pretend to say that there is
no other medium for advertising than
the newspapers. There are other ways
that have been ef1icacCus for certain
purposes, but the business men of the
country have long come to the con-
clusion that the newspaper is the only
medium for the great mass of advertise
ments. 1t is only through the news
papers that the advertiser can be sure
that he reaches constituency that will
pay attention to what he has to say.
Most of the handbills that are published
are absolute waste. Few take the
slightest notice of them, and eventually
they are the most expensive and least
productive medium that can be used
There are those who think that ad-
vertisting is expensive. 1t is, on the
contray, pure money making affair.
Any man will spend one dollar to make
two. The real expense comes in not
advertising. The man who depends on
public patronage must let the public
known what he has to sell. 1t is the
newspaper that forms the medium by
which this Is accomplished.

ALLEGED CASE
OF WITCHCRAFT
Upper End Foreigners Re-
late Queer Stories.
Accused of Practising the
Dark Art on Those Who
Thwarted Her, Black An
ME Has Disappeared.

Residents of Black Patch, little
mining settlement near the county seat,
who declare they have been bewitched
for some weeks, are happy again.
Black Annie, whom they accuse, has
disappeared.
The residents are foreigners and very
superstitious. They say that for some
weeks past all sorts of strange things
happened. The bread would not rise in
the pans at night, the cows gave poor
milk, or none at all, the stoves smoked
unbearably, the dinners in the mems
buckets turned to coal or were missing,
the children had weird and dreadful
frghts, husbands and wives who had
always lived happily quarreled, the
water was muddy or salty, keys would
not fit and doors stuck, oil in the lamps
would not burn properly. and in hun
dred small ways were there annoyances
from morning to night.
1t all came about, they believe, be-
cause they would not allow John Solas
to marry Black Annie. She had been
living in the patch for a year or more,
but made few friends, aud was always
looked upon as strange woman. A
few weeks ago John Solas arrived to
live with his relatives. He fell in love
with Mary Chico, his cousin, and was to
marry her.
Then he met Black Annie, and from
that moment acted queerly. He neg
lected Mary Chico, and devoted himself
to the older woman. Finally he said he
was to marry her. Then counsel of
his friends was held, money was sub
scribed for a common fund and he was
sent to the soft coal regions.
When Black Annie found this out she
cried, "You shall pay for this"
From that moment the witchery com
menced. They believe she practiced
the black arts and had strange powers.
Finally the annoyance became so great
that it was resolved to tar and feather
her. She must have heard of this,
because during Friday night she dis

is the success of our ever increas-
