How Advertising Grown.

N. w. Aver 6 Son. the Keeping
Everlastingly at IT. advertising
agents of Philadelphia. have found it
necessary to move into new and
larger quarters at S00-30S Chestnut
Street In that city.
This announcement will interest
many publishers, because Aver & Son
are so widely known as promoters of
newspaper publicity. They began
business thirty three years ago. with
two people and an annual business Of
$4,000. They now have one hundred
and ninety employees, and have for
years done the largest advertising
business in the world. The difference
between then and now is. they say.
simply the result of making news

1.-THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING
LIES In The EATiNG.n

The doctors are dumbfounded, the
druggists astonished, and the people
excited and joyful over the wonderful
cures and tremendous sales of the
great Remedy, st. Jacobs Oil. Every
case of Rheumatism-some of many
years standing-has given way to
this powerful remedy. Thousands of
certificates like the following can be
furnished as to its value
George Scleyer, Publisher of the
Chiffon, Wis, "Volksbote," used st.
Jacobs Oil for almost unbearable
pains in the back, which had COM
pletely prostrated him." A few appli-
cations cured him entirely.
Mrs. Fred Eberle, Bellaire, O., was
for long time severely troubled with
Rheumatism. st. Jacobs Oil instantly
relieved and entirely cured her.
Rev. DR.. B. Pick of Rochester, N. Y.
suffered so intensely from Rheumatic
pains that he was unable to preach.
Several applications from bottle of
St. Jacobs Oil relieved him."
+. Raider, Cleveland, Ohio, says:
1.-TWO applications of St. Jacobs OIL
cured me of great and long continued
pain in my foot"
Messrs. C. l.. Brundage and Son,
Druggists, Muskegon, Mich, write:--
"St. Jacobs Oil has u wonderful sale.
We sold eight bottles at retail yester-
day. This will give you some idea
OF how well it is liked in this sec
tion.''
MIR. Louis Hinkel, of East Poesten,
XIII, n. Y. says:-''I call'St. Jacobs
Oil the best liniment ever used. 1t
cured me of Rheumatism and pain in
the back"
Herman Rittner, Manchester, N.
HI have tried st. Jacobs Oil, and
found it excellent All those who have
purchased it speak of it as simply in,
comparable
Geo. G. ErfIle. Palestine, ili.:-"I
was in bed suffering from a swollen
leg. i used st. Jacobs Oil, its effect
was wonderful. The following day l
attended to my business again"
DR.. Otto Fuls, Reading, o., writes:
THE sale of st. Jacobs Oil is con.
stantly increasing; II is praised by
everybody, and never fails to give en-.
tire satisfaction"

CUTE ARIZONA COW
REAL BOVINE xLEpromANlAc.

levies Daily Tribute on the Neigh.
bors' yards-Found Hay Hid In
kettle-stoie Watermelon From a
Kitchen Table-Takes Toll ON All
Hay That Comes to Town.
Charles W. Platt, Republican nomi-
nee for recorder of Yavapai county In
the recent election, is the owner of
a black COW. This statement, says
the Arizona Republican, in itself is
not remarkable, br. careful inquiry
among the residents of Kirkland show
that they consider this particular COW
possessed of an intelligence equal to
Barnum's educated pig.
This animal, after eating hearty
breakfast In her own corral. proceeds
to make daily round of all yards,
back doors, etc. in search of some
thing to appropriate, without render
Ing due equivalent. Politely speak
ing, she is n kleptomaniac. Rumor has
1t that when the telephone people were
building their line through the valley,
the employees, having lost quantity
of hay and grain by theft, built pyra-
mid of poles ten feet high, upon which
they placed their supplies and felt Sc
cure.
'Blackey" climbed the pile and de-
voured or scattered everything in
sight.
At another time rancher who
knew the animals reputation, put a
bale of hay inside large kettle, GOV.
cred the receptacle with sheet iron,
tied canvas over the whole and
leaving his wagon in the public square
went into the store to study astronomy.
When he came back he found the
hay scattered about and the black COW
enjoying hearty meal; she having
watched his careful storing away of
the bale and Immediately opened up
the combination.
A neighbor. after some hours of Ia
bor, had prepared a large quantity of
watermelon peeling for sweet pickles,
left the pan upon the kitchen table
during her temporary absence: and
Mrs. Cow walked into the house and
cleaned up everything in sight.
A squaw carrying a papoose and
numerous bundles on her head is an
unfailing source of amusement; al
though never touching the poor In
dian, she bluffs the aboriginee nearly
into the happy hunting grounds.
A stranger in Kirkland is usually
inspected at close quarters with rath-
er a belligerent air and If showed"
away she becomes very indignant at
the undue familiarity shown in speak
ing to her without an Introduction.
The redeeming feature of this much
cussed COW is the quantity and rich
ness of the milk given, and perhaps
her longevity is due to the popularity
of Mr.. Plat.
The writer noted the careful watch
which the bovine kept on all freight
deposited upon the station platform,
and the agility with which she mount
ed the numerous steps II anything ed
ible was in sight.
All loads of hay passing through
town have faithful follower who
takes toll for n mile or more.

CIGARS FORCED UPON HIM.
Ono Reason Why General Grant Be-
came Sch Great Smoker.

A reason can generally oe found for
everything. Everyone is aware Of the
fact that General Grant was addicted
in an abnormal degree to the smoking
habit General James Grant Wilson,
in recent address before the his
torical society of Philadelphia. ac-
counts for his excesses. In this re.
gard. Among the yarns spun by the
speaker was the following; ut seems
that after one of Grants great victo-
ries he was seen riding down the line
with a half-smoked, unlit cigar in his
mouth. In reporting the affair the
war correspondents one and all men
toned the incident of the half-burnt
cigar.
1T was not long after that every
express from the North brought the
general packages of cigars, until there
were 10000 cigars received at camp.
Up to that time Grant had been in
the habit of smoking but two or three
cigars day. But with this unlimited
supply and feeling that as they were
gifts he could not give them away,
he started to smoke them wholesale,
and thus acquired tremendous appe-
tite for tobacco"

A Tribute of Respect.

Sister Tirzah Mahala Clark died al
her home, about 2 o'clock, a.. M, on the
8th day of March, 1902, just five days
after her beloved husband was laid In
the grave. oh! how sad that father
and mother both should be taken in
the same week.
She was sixty-two years of age
She joined the Langston Baptist
Church when 16 years OF age. She
married John w. CLARK when about &c
years old, and for more than 40 years
they fought the battles Of life together.
She was the mother of four children,
three Of whom survive her, Mrs.
Emma Workman, Mrs. jamie Holland
and Willie b. Clark. AS a mother, she
was COURTEOUS, kind, gentle and loving;
simple, which is an element OF strength
and beauty. She was q woman of sim
certify, free from hypocrisy of all ac-
lions and speech so that those who
knew her best never thought Of her as
p~retentiOus, She loved her church
and as an evidence she gave of her
time and money to the churches sup
port, and not unfrequently she would
take her pastor by the hand with tears
OF Joy and express her love for the
Gospel. And just before she passed
over the river. she sang almost two
oeahhas VI lhc olu uyHu IlOW oWe9U
the name of Jesus Sounds"
Sister Clark has gone to the fellow
ship OF the host OF Heaven, to q better
country, where there is no sickness,
no sorrow, no disappointments, no
deaths, she is alive forevermore.
