An Advertising Trick.

One of the most amusing incidents
fefatiye to sleek advertising was a
trick on the Chicago newspapers sew
eral years ago. One of the partners of
q firm went into court and filed n bill
for injunction to restrain the other
partner from sacrificing the goods in
their store at figures far below first
cost.
The plaintiff set forth in detail that
his partner had with some insane de-
sire marked all the goods in the store
down below cost Then he went into
details and showed how different arti-
cles were being sacrificed, notwith-
standing his protest, and asked the
court to issue an injunction and re-
strain the fractions partner. 1t was
q strange fight, and the newspapers
took 1t up and devoted columns to the
novel case.
The result was that people on the
lookout for bargains focked to the
store and purchased goods. Day after
day the hearing for an injunction was
delayed, and finally, when the free ad.
had been worked to its end, the suit
was dismissed without prosecution, the
whole cost to the firm for thousands
Of dollars worth Of advertising being
about $25.

If circumstantial story vouched
for by republican newspapers, is
correct, a Chicago street railway
company gave the republican COM
mittee its note for $4,000 two
years ago, and the committee dis
counted the note at a Chicago bank
and used the money in an unsuc-
cessful attempt to defeat Mayor
Harrison and the other democratic
candidates for city offices in Chicago
that year. The note has not been
paid and the whole truth may come
out before the $4,000 is charged
up to profit and loss by somebody.
When franchise grabbing corpora
tons are no more, such donations
will be unknown. Chicago took a
long step in that direction this year
by serving notice on j. p. Morgan
& Co., that majority of its electors
are not for sale.

It was during the French revolution

Churches were quickly despoiled and

The hex In Alaska.

There Is a curious theory among
prospectors and others in Alaska that
in the mountains and the Interior an
animal exists which is neither wild
sheep nor mountain goat. This is be-
lieved by some to be a species of lbex,
IN animal which has never yet been
identified in North America. 1t is
thought to be possible that this ami
NAL may turn out to be no more than
the descendant of domestic goats which
have long since reverted to the wild
state. On the other hand, there is no
sound reason why wild ibex should not
be found in the heart of Alaska, sclen-
fists say. Asia and North America are
here very near together. Ages ago they
We're probably united, and as ibex are
found in Asia it is quite within the
bounds of possibility that they also ex-
list In Alaska.
