A banker sauntering home for his
dinner saw ten dollar bill lying on
the cLrbstone OF course he picked
it up and took the number OF it in
order to find the owner. While at
home his wife remarked that the
butcher had sent in bill amounting
to ten dollars. The only money he
had with him was the money he had
found, which he gave to her and she
paid the butcher. The butcher paid
it to farmer for calf. The farmer
paid it to his clerk and the clerk
owing the banker a note Of fen dollars
went to the bank and paid the note.
The banker recognized the bill as the
one he had found and up to that time
had settled fifty dollars Of debts. On
careful examination he found the bill
was counterfeit. Now will some Of
our financial friends tell what has
been lost i'll the transaction and by
whom, ii any?

The man who starts advertising one
day and expects to see results the next
hasn't gone very thoroughly into the
advertising proposition. Yet there
are several local merchants who be-
lieve that if they advertise today they
should Gee results tomorrow, else the
advertising has not paid them. This
is simple folly as it is impossible to
expect any such results. People must
become acquainted with yonr ads,
must find in them an indictment to
stop trading where they have been and
visit your store. One ad will not do
this--nor will two. But if you will
be content to keep after them you
will get them. This is the experience
of hundreds Of merchants who have
become rich and built up prosperous
institutions through advertising.

Amnzona In Court.

There was dash Of color at police
court Tuesday morning. There was a
black eye conspicuously present. In
fact there were several pairs Of them
But one black eye attracted attention
more because of It's dilated and hard
used appearance than for any reason OF
color 1t was the property Of lady Of
the same hue who must have weighed
about two hundred; pounds before her
eye grew to to so large proportions. The
reason her eye grew so fast was that it
came in too violent contact with GER
tain dipper in the hands Of one, Mrs
Martin, another sister Of color whose az
gregate weight would probably be about
seventy FIVE pounds, and who though
something Of the kind was attempted,
persistently refused to allow Mrs. Buelah
Henderson Of the swollen eye to fall
upon her, These two ladies OF color are
neighbors on South Adams street and
came near being neighbors in the city
bastile, and would have been so but for
the payment Of fines Of about two dollars

The colored population of Hutchin-

well together. Some days ago one Of

George used club, and used it on his
wife. Then his wife and his mother.n-
law combined and conspired to use their
knowledge against George, and in day

relieved him Of the supply which he
had not exhausted, AT the start it must
have been considerable, for it was con-
