type there are numberless varieties, old
and new. The ancient ones which have
been preserved are of iron copper and
brass, nearly all simple in construction
and finish, but a few richly decorated.
Occasionally one runs across lanterns

from palaces or temples and in most

Upon the pendants the artificers put
their hardest work. Some are made of
colored beads. strung and massed with
fantastic shapes and knots. Others
are strings of little bells, which ring

1t used to be that the quality of
job Printing did not amount 10
much, so far as success in business
was concerned. ANY business man
or woman could get along fairly well
without it. But We live in another
and altogether different era.
Today it is necessary for business
people to have neat stationery if they
intend to occupy a prominent place
among their competitors.
When you zee piece of job print
ing crowded and the type TANNED
too close together, with dirty-lookiDg
ink and finger marks smeared over
it, Oh a low grade of paper. it doesn't
speak we'll for the firm which uses it..
In fact, YOU don't have the SAM
opinion of that place as you have of
the man whose stationery is CLEARLY
printed with good ink on the bes,
grade of paper.
The quality of stationery reflects
the standing of ones business. Ii &,
therefore duty you owe to yoursei:

Upon one OF the trips of the stage the
regular driver. who had been at home
for some weeks recovering from an Ill

haired, mild featured. big boned Irish
man acting as his substitute occupied
the drivers seat upon the box. The day
was beautiful one, and the passen-
gers were enjoying their drive keenly,
their appetites increasing as the dis
tance lessened between them and the
town of Sodom. with its promised
pause for refreshment
Suddenly as the heavy stage lum-
bered over the brow of the hill. down
which the road plunged at n sharp an
gle, running through the little town at
its foot and ascending the hill beyond
the passengers became conscious that
their pace had been recklessly in

There the pace siackened. and as the
Incline grew more steep at last the
smoking horses came to a standstil.

reeking leaders.

heels OF the horses and completely sew

regular driver comprehended the mean
ing OF the danger to which the passen-
gers of that stage, deprived OF its sole
means OF guidance, had been exposed,
and. realizing the miracle OF their es-
cape, he turned sick and tainted where
he stood.
Later, back at the inn, when the ex-
element had somewhat subsidized and
fresh horses were being put to the re-
paired coach. some one turned TO Pat
and asked:
