"A merchant in neighboring
town states that his advertising last
year cost him "a cents for every
800 worth of goods sold. He used
half a page for his business an
noucement each week and says that
as long as the people read the news
paper he will advertise. There's a
man possessed of a good head. Just
as soon as merchants begin to look
upon advertising as branch of
business which requires as much
care as any part of it, then will ad-
vertising pay. Honesty, force, orig
inality and persistency in advertis-
ing make it paying investment.
Conductor Moran has prepared
the following advice for his pas
sengers and will have same printed
on cards and hand to each as he
punches tickets hereafter: Have
no transactions with strangers.
Give your trunk checks to the bag
gage man, and to nobody else. You
haven't lost any freight bills. A
gold brick isn't worth bringing
home. Don't get off the cars while.
they are in motion. When sus-
picious looking man asks you if you
have lost your pocketbook tell him
you never carry one. Don't feel
for it while he is looking. Have
your ticket ready when the con-
ductor comes along"

the reports of election expendi-
lures, required by state law, by
candidates for office during the re-

was that of Calvin Stewart, who
ren for congress against HI. A.
Cooper, of Racine. Mr.. Stewart
shows that he expended $345 and
most Of the money was spent in
Republication. One of the large
items in the account is for workers
who did not work, $50" and a
similar amount was paid out for
cigars and foolishness.
"A good joke is told on one Of
Plattevilles citizens, who had for
some time been troubled with pim-
Piles on his nose and concluded it
was time to do something for it. So
he looked around in the pantry and
found bottle of liniment which he
applied twice day for several
weeks. In the meantime his nose
got no better, but instead began to
assume gigantic proportions. At
last he consulted his wife about the
matter and asked her advice. She
asked him what he had been doing
for it, and he told her that he had
been using that liniment in the pan
try. What liniment9" she asked.
So he got the bottle and showed it
to her. well, of all the fools, you
do beat them all!' screamed the
wife. THAT amt liniment, that's
a bottle of bust developer that
