Women Read adds"

An observing advertiser says that
when a woman takes up newspaper
she first turns TO the advertisements
This will not be disputed by persons
who have seen how women crowd the
stores. A part of their business il
life is to buy things, and it is natural
that they should be interested in sd
vertisements as it is that the stock
speculstOr should be interested in the
ticker. Any advertisement which con
tsins news about desirable commodities
will be widely read.

RETURNING TO THE C1NEs OF HIS
BOYHOOD.
Charles A. Beers of northwestern
Nebraska is visiting relatives and old
acquaintance in New Haven, Meri-
den and Bridgeport as we'll as here and
in adjoining towns. This town being
not only his birthplace but that of his
ancestors for generations, makes the
place seem much like home to him al
though he has not been here for Is
years and finds great changes. In
looking for many whom he left in
health the head stone in the cemetery
tells only their last resting place. Mr.
Beers and two older brothers with
their parents have experienced many
of the vicisitudeS of western life. The
Oldest Of the three brothers located
about 100 miles from the others, and
owns a large tract of land and is doing
well. The rest of the family who went
west are situated near Crawford which
is their market town, and own with
out incumbrance, a large tract OF farm
ing and timber land upon which is a
Sawmill. Much Of the timber, which
is largely yellow pine, is now ready to
be turned into lumber for which there
is a ready market, and which they are
disposing of as fast as is convenient.
There are also several other tracts OF
timber in different stages of growth
which will be available later. Beside
this they anticipate soon to close a
bargain for another tract OF pasture
! land which will bring their farm into
compact form, and which also contains
much timber which is Immediately
available. Mr. Beers met with an aci
dent several weeks since by beine
thrown from a load of logs, which makes
it necessary for him to take prOlong
ed rest. AS usual with western men
who are successful, he could not be
tempted to return east for a permanent
| home
