GOOD BUSINESS POLICY.

Editorial from BulfrOg Miner)
A gentleman ordered his ad out the other day, saying: IT wish
you would take M ad out for the next two months, as things will be
quiet until September, when there will be a rush in here and then I
can afford to advertise"
Notwithstanding that this man is a fine fellow, and means well,
his policy is most stupid, for constant advertising has been demonstrat-
ed to be the correct business principle.
The wise man looks upon printers ink as just az much of a neces-
siy IS Office room, and he setsa aside 81 much for advertising each
year Just as he would set aside a certain amount for Office rent.
Nor does he advertise only when business is brisk, but he adver-
tises constantly; In dull times to make trade brisk and in brisk times
to keep them SO.
Constant drops Of water veal away the stone" and It is the
advertiser who hammers away continually that wears away his COM
pettors.
While the trihing cost Of the ad for a few months is being saved
at the printers spigot much more than the cost of the ad IS leaking
through the bunghole Of competition.

l was a maiden of eighteen years,
Unused to the ways of the world
Mother told me, with limpid tears,
The while my hair was tightly curled.
Daughter, I'll support you while | can,
But soon, sweetheart, you must get a man."
'Ah mel" I said in my anguish.
When the first man came to call,
How shall I season this lovers dish
So he shall desire to keep it alls'
A Thought shall simply guide my acts
BY the words of Beatrice Fairfax.

He hawed, and then he quickly fled.
The swift food of my tears | stemmed.
As Il new thought entered my head.
''The next in hope, ''shall get the tricks
Of know-it-all Dorothy Dix
He did, holder than the first one,
He remained the whole act through
But when the little scene was done,
He gently spoke, and said, "Adieu.''
Then woe-struck 1 shook my golden locks.
And wrote to Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

When the moon is almost gone

He told me of his life-l sighed,
His genius great / plainly see
To be a man, to fight beside.
And share his woe, and then-ah me!

To share his life, and be his wife,

CONSIDER ATHLETIC FIELD.

Park Commissioners Making Plans
 for Edgewood Park Play Ground.
 The regular monthly meeting of the park commissioners was held in city hall last evening. Most of the time was spent in considering the new ath- letie field, which is to be built in Edge wood park. The board of aldermen ap- propriated the sum of $2,O00 for the new field, and the board of finance cut this sum down to $1,000.
 Owing to the swampy condition of the ground and the large amount of filling which is necessary, the park board say that the sum given is wholly inadequate to complete the work. However, the park board after talking the matter over, decided to go ahead and do the best they could with the amount avail able.
 The report of the superintendent was read and accepted.
