."'The lying advertiser is fool!'
was his terse rejoinder.
"'Well, I'll give you a chance,
I muttered by way of reply, and
forthwith led him to the bath

wearing apparel.
1.-Two days later my wife, who
knew nothing of my arrangement
with the advertising agent (she
was on visit to her mother when
that gentleman made his first ap-
pearance) read to me beautiful
poem from the Omaha Hornet. It
was a short poem, printed in dia-
mond type. In touching words
the poet described the miserable
end of a waif, who had succumbed
to filth; in mournful tones he be-
walled the general Indifference to
filth, and the slight regard in
which that filth destroying article,
soap, is held by many; in clear and
decisive terms he advised the in
habitants of this planet in general,
and those of Omaha and the sur
rounding country in particular, to
form closer acquaintance, and to
come more in contact, with soap.
He concluded with forcible argu-
ment in favor of patronizing home
industries, and pointed out that,
since soap performs a necessary
function in the great scheme Of
civilization, it is always best to
buy good soap; and that 'Mudd's
Soap is not only good soap, but
in fact the article that every family
with the least pretension to civil
ization should make constant use
of.
II doubted the value of this
advertisement; but before week
had passed orders came in thick
and fast. And not from Omaha
only, but from the neighboring
towns and villages also. Many of
the country newspapers published
the poem in full and called their
readers attention to the clever adj
vertising dodge, which, of course,
meant more orders for soap. About
fourteen days later there appeared
in the Omaha Evening Moon a
cartoon, representing a freight
train, every car of which was
loaded with 'Mudd's Soap and
guarded by a small army of 'Mudds'
detectives determined, not to say
villainous looking fellows, who
carried their Winchesters as if
they meant business. Along
the track on which the freight
train was speeding to the great
Sunset Country, stood groops of
desperate looking men and women,
some of whom wore placards sus-
pended from their necks, with
such inscriptions as Give me
Mudd's Soap or give me Death;'
or what is Home without Mudd's
Soap?' or we want to be civilized,
but hain't gotno Mudd Soap to be-
gin WITH and one gushing young
damsel simperingly held up her
placard to a big, raw-boned son of
toll, who evidently found it hard
task to decipher the legend writ
ten thereon, which read thusly:
i neverwithyeou wileilope
ifyeoudon't getaboks offmudddssoap.
"Some of the men carried axes
and crowbars, and others carried
bags, or pushed wheelbarrows
about in reckless fashion. I'll
was clear they were only deferred
from looting the train by the
presence of SO many armed Mudd
detectives. Underneath the car

HAS oUTGRowN A BAD NAME.
What a Kentucky Newspaper of
Forty Years Ago Said About
the state Of lows.

In an old file of the Lexington
(Ky.) Observer printed in 1850, there
has recently been found letter from
a man in Iowa to friend in KEN
tucky advising him not to purchase
at one dollar an acre land on which
now stands some of Iowa's most pros
porous cities. The letter says:
"Those of our citizens contemplat-
ing moving TO the north or north
west had better ponder well before
doing So Let them read an extract
from letter from gentleman of
high standing residing in Iowa, and
then think il the change is desir-
able one.
do not trade for anything in the
way of real estate within the limits
Of the state of Iowa, with the view
of selling it at any price within the
next FIVE years.
1.-The value of land is nominal;
you may count IL at Sf.25 or $40; /
have just sold lands bought in the
county north of your county for
which / paid ten dollars in 1857 (good
lands at one dollar per acre, and that
in trade).
"'I consider lands anywhere with

in counties bordering on the river.
"'No man living out of the state
can have anything like correct idea
of the utter hopelessness of the state
Of things in Iowa. Speculation has
been the ruin of the state. The
river towns are so fat that they can
never get up again until there is an
entire change in the population.
Towns themselves are so hopelessly
in debt that they can never get a
start again unless by paying of in
debtedness py reputation. One place
which contained population in 1857
of $4,000. Is now reduced to less than
10 900, and the people are leaving just
as fast as they can get money to get
away with. The place is in debt a
