THE VALUE OF ADvERTIsING.-Am mer-
chant who lives on the upper west side
of the city was awakened at o'clock
one morning by the continued ring
ing of his front door bell. He tried to
go to sleep despite the noise; but had
to abandon the attempt when a series
Of shouts coming from the street in
front of his house assailed his ears.
Mingled with the shouts he heard the
voices of men engaged in a war of
words. Jumping out Of bed he ran to
a window, threw it open and leaned
out. There were five men on the street,
and seeing him they began to yell with
renewed vigor.
What is wrong?" shouted the mer-
chant.
The five tried to reply at the same
time and the only word the merchant
understood was Fire"
What is wrong?" he shouted again.
One of the five got his voice before the
others.
Your store has burned out" he
screamed, "and I'll give you IS more
than anybody else for the privilege of
pasting bills on the front Of your build
ing."-New York Sun.

CRUSHED AGAIN.-On an incoming
Vandalia train was family Of five-a
fat, good natured man, his wife, a pref

knows twas enough to make her nerv-
Gus, the trouble she had with their
three children. The eldest, a boy of
six, mashed his hand by pulling the
window down on it. A little later, at a
sudden jerk of the train, he turned a
sommersault, bruising and gashing his
head. Then the half year old baby up
set the alcohol lamp from the window
sill, which frightened the mother near
ly into Mysteries, which was signal
for all the children to set up in chorus.
But during the next five minutes, when
that half f-distracted woman was trying
to stop the music, that fat man from
the seat back Of her looked on without
an effort-he was really charming in
his complacency. When quiet reigned
again the wife said with a sigh:
II do know have more trouble than
any woman on earth"

swered Benedict, not moving his eyes
from his paper.
IT do say it," she replied, more
stoutly. There's no calamity could
befall a woman which I have not suf-
fered."
20, no, my dear; not so bad as that.
For instance: You are not a widow,
he answered, sweetly.
She held her breath two seconds and
then retorted:
