LIGHTS AND SHADES.

Many interesting stories have been
told of the experiences Of those who
answered "ketchy" advertisements.
The net results achieved by some of
these seekers after truth at small cost
are told by that always interesting
publication, . Our Dumb Animals, as
follows: "a Wisconsin man learned
that by sending 81 to Yankee he
could get a cure for drunkenness. Sure
enough he did. 1t was to take the
pledge and keep it.. Later he sent
fifty two-cent stamps to find out how
to raise turnips successfully. He founO
out--Just take hold of the tops ano
pull Being yonng he wished to MAJ
ry, and sent thirty-four One-cenl
stamps to a Chicago firm for informa
ton as to how to make an impression
When the answer came it read: Sit
down on pan of dough-. 1t was 4
little rough, but he was patient mar
and thought he would yet succeed
Next advertisement he answered read:
How to double your money in 81,
months. He was told to convert his
money into bills and fold them, and he
would see his money doubled. Mex
he sent for twelve useful hOusehoulC
articles, add he got package of nee
dies. He was slow to learn, so he sent
81 to find out How to get rich.

a cent And never spend cent, AnC
that stopped him; but his brother
wrote to find out how to write letter

how to live without work, and wa
told on postal card to Fish for suck

that it is born of a fear that with
an increase in the number of men
employed will come a reduction III
wages. But it may be questioned
if the locomotive engineer OF to-day
is not burdened with more response
bility than is good for him. First
of all, he must make time, and
while doing this he must, in addl-
ton to keeping lookout for signals
ahead, look after the water in
the boiler, the steam pressure,
ure, the air brakes, the automatic
bell ringing device, the lubricating
of the working parts, and dozen
other things. He is a busy man,
the engineer is, and the wonder is
that, with. the manifold duties de-
volving upon him, he doesn't make
more mistakes.

M. f. ingalls,, president of the
Big Four Railroad system, is cam
paigning for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Mayor of Cincinnati.
The Democrats of Ohio, who have
given Tom Johnson his walking
papers for good and all, have served
notice upon their brethren in other
States that if Mr.. ingalls, is nomi-
mated and elected he will be the
Buckeye Democracy's choice for
the Presidency next year.
The fact that Mr.. ingalls, is a
railroad magnate does not appear
to disturb the Ohio Democrats in
the least. They probably realize
that, judging from the proceedings
of legislative bodies controlled by
Democrats, the party's opposition
to trusts is insincere and that there
fore it would not be inconsistent
upon the part of Democracy to
select as its national standard bear
er a gentleman of Mr.. Ingalls,

The Friday Evening Club of Nor
ristown is a modest organization OF
tender years but of great accom-
plishment Just three years age
this week upon invitation of Mr..
Norman Fox a number of gentle
men of this city met Mr.. John R.
Howard, the first president of the
Outlook Club of Montclair, and the
Rev. A. H. Bradford, d. D., a lead
ing spirit in the formation of That
association. AS the direct result of
the discussion which followed, the
Friday Evening Club was formed
1t cannot be said that its existence
has been maintained by great effort
on the part of either its officers or
of it's members, for the seed dropped
three years ago fell upon fertile soil
and the organization has fourished
because it appeals irresistibly to the
intelligent tastes of aesthetics and
disseminates profound information
on themes of current interest. The
purpose of the club is not merely to
furnish entertainment, but to have
the ablest speakers discuss themes
of vital and timely importance and
thus to diffuse broadening views and
to educate public thought. Music
art and literature have been touched
deity, and now the club will make
a trip into the realm of medical sci
ence. Lieutenant Lyster, DR. Loom
is and DR.. Fox are men of world
wide reputation who have made
careful researches into the causes
and effects of yellow fever tubercu-
losis and leprosy. These gentlemen
will be heard at the next meeting
of the club. In the past the club
has secured the most renowned ex-
ponents of current themes to pre-
sent their views and will continue
that policy in the future. The club
does not attempt to commit its
members to any theories or dogmas,
but confines itself to the discussion
of themes of interest in literature,
philosophy, politics, science, art,
industry and religion. Such an or
ganization is source of great good
to any community and should pros
per through force of merit. Ma,
it continue to do so.
