A travelling man who claimed
to have been on the road for
eleven years, furnished amuse-
ment Of the richest species to
the extent Of four hours Saturday
night. Being a small town, Mr..
Wise Guy was presumably under
the impression that Sistersville
residents were not on to the var
led movements of the world at
large. The audience of SIX or
seven persons were literally held
spellbound by the narration of the
experiences which a man on the
road encounters. As a ladies
man he was a gusher of the gush-
lest sort, and the idea of any wO-
man being able to resist his at
tempts at Irritation was ludicrous
to this paragon of smOOthness.
Mr.. Wise Guy was kidded" to
such an extent that one by one
the crowd skunk away to the
breezy atmosphere in order to
give their lungs a chance to re-
cover from suppressed laughter.
So girls, beware, Svengali was
piker compared to Mr.. Wise Guy.

The Smallest Cigar Factory.

Minneapolis. - Minneapolis has the
smallest cigar factory in the United
States, according to the records OF the
internal revenue Office here.
Every day, among the dealers, who
buy from $500 to several thousand dollars
worth of stamps, an old man goes into
the Office and puts down 10 cents for
one stamp. When questioned about his
factory he said that he buys two pounds
Of tobacco and that he and his wife roll
the cigars. Carrying box bearing the
United States stamp, he sallies out
among the business offices of the city
and generally lands purchaser.
He has continued this means of live
lihood for five years, and in moment
of confidence he told Deputy Collector
H. +. Dams that he has never at any
time had more than 10 cents ahead to
buy stamps

Easter Function Favors.

Charming conceits which the jewell
ers. the great department stores. the
china and book shops, the florists and
confectioners are teeming show that
the exchange of dainty gifts and the
use Of favors at Eastertide are almost
az universal as on Christmas Day.
Indeed" said one of the managers Of
large wholesale novelty house, our
Easter trade in favors and decorations
is the most extensive of any of the
holidays. While we depend on Ger
many and Japan for the most of our
novelties there are an increasing
number made in this country Any
one who can get hold of a new idea in
this line is sure of abundant patron
age from shops.
One of the staple attractions for
women, however, at Easter are the
real little yellow ducklings and chick
ems stuffed. There has been a growing
fad for these ever since they were first
introduced few years ago from ia
pan 1t seems cruel, doesn't it?" and
she poised one of the fluffy little things
on her finger-"but you would be sur
rised at the number of women who
are using these for powder puffs They
come high, usually about seventy-fve
cents apiece; bu; they ara so de-
lightfully soft and fluffy tha. II is a
luxury to use them"
Handsome rarebt sets packed awav
in cases made to initiate a big pineap-
pie cheese are in special favor, for
anything connected with "B'rer Rab-
bit plays a prominent part in all
Easter lore. Looking in at the show
cases of the big confectioners like

Other Easter favors, useful as we'll
as ornamental, are egg cups of fragile

made to hang beside dressing bureau

some in the form of lilies, and others

ouietness In the sickroom.

When a sick person has to be kept
very quiet avoid the use of tongs and
shovel and make up the fire with the
fingers, first putting on a leather
glove to protect them from dirt and
heat. In case of severe illness 1t Is
sometimes a good plan TO have each
piece of coal wrapped in bit OF pa
per before 1t Is put into the scuttle
used in the sickroom, for thus all
noise may be avoided in making up
the fire.

Best Effect of a Hat.

A milliner's advice to her patrons
is to observe the effect of hat sit
ting as well as standing. Sometimes
a hat is too large for a seated figure
when it does very well while the
wearer is standing. No one wants to
lose in effect by a change of posture,
any more than she wants to wear a
hat that is becoming in front and
hideous in the back

What you say in an advertise
ment, and how you say it, doesn't
matter nearly SO much as where it
is said.
You might have the most at
tractive advertisement that was ever
designed, offering the biggest bar
gains that ever were offered, and if
you put it down cellar under the coal
it would never sell cents worth of
goods.
A poorly written advertisement,
poorly displayed, in a good news
paper will do some good. Of course,
a better advertisement would do
more good, but the style of the ad-

PUTTING IN TURNOUT
Large Force of Men at Work on
 Baldwin Street To-day.

The trolley company set big force of men at work this morning putting in a turnout on Baldwin street. be- tween Stone and Washington streets. It will be 270 feet long and as soon as it is finished cars will commence run ming all the way to and from Water vile. Mir Sewell told a Democrat re- porter yesterday that the company does not intend to complete the road beyond Post street until they see how the schedule will work on what IS laid. This leaves a distance of any where from 1,200 to 1,500 feet from the stopping point to the Pearl Lakes road, where the company was expect ed to go, but Mir Sewell says they are not under contract to make that dis tance. It appears from the general maEager's interpretation of the condi- tigns that they simplg have the right to 90 down to the Pearl Lakes road, but it is optional with them whether they go the whole distance or not II this does not suit, he said they may go the whole distance and run car on a half hour schedule Neither the half hour schedule nor the stop of : several hundred feet from the Pearl Lakes road will he likely to meet with much favor by the residents of that district. all of whom are obliged to get around just as fast as their neigh bors do. There are no special rules in the factories or stores for people who want to use the cars on that line
