An Advertising Thought.

If every merchant could meet his entire
trade personally it would not be neces-
sary for him to explain the merits OF all
his different goods and he would not need
to advertise. But he can't do this. As a
matter of economy, merchant should
advertise and tell prospective purchasers
what he has for sale. Advertising makes
it easier to do business, and makes less
work and worry, and gives satisfaction
all around. So if your blood is red, il
you want to grow, if you feel satlstac-
ton in being leader in your line, adver.
tise. Do it right, and by making it a
feature of your business the cash assets
at the end of the year will determine its
great value.

A Privileged Class.

A witty man declared our thieves,
thugs and assasins, to be our privileged
class. Was he,wrong? There is indeed
a growing tendency to be very lenient.
This is right theory and right practice
toward many criminals But there is a
limit. 1t is possible to err on the side OF
mercy. A district attorney in Kentucky
was foully murdered by man for whose
pardon for another murder, he had recent
" circulated a petition. Ahotner fiend
in Washington, leaving prison, his con-
science and bis God, all there, killed seven
other men before he succeeded in des
patching himself There appears to be in
some men matter we have lost sight of,
such thing as blood mania, against
which society has just right to use ex-
IRENE measures.

really grabbing public franchise. In
Italy, Belgium and France this fact is
recognized, and bilI-posters pay a iran.
chise tax. poster tax would affect the
New York subway people who have a
franchise to operate railroad and who
go further and under that franchise as
sumo to put up posters and to deal IN
chewing. gum, candy and other meTchan-
disc. There is no question of the legality
OF such a tax. Municipalities have a
right to levy it, Furthermore, the
courts have repeatedly held that the tax
ing powers can be exercised to the point
of confiscation. There is no limit to it.
The posters are usually an tffense to the
eve, and sometimes to morals. Wher-
ever they are, in the subway or on dead
walls, they can be readily put out ofex'
istence bv the taxing method. Tax them
to death = Leslie Weekly.

Some of our exchanges are dropping
into peanut politics in their insinuations
about Mr.. Haskins' position on the
mileage steal which was rushed through
the house the closing days of Congress-
MIR. Foster very properly voted against
the measure and Mr.. Haskins was absent
when the vote was taken. Not a single
republican congressman in New England
voted for the measure and Congressman
Haskins would have opposed it if he had
been present. II this is part of the cam
paign to work up sentiment against our
congressman for the benefit of some other
candidates we will not be party to it.

A Month of Flowers.

March is great month Tor starting
flower seeds indoors in order to gain
three or tour weeks on the season, says
The Garden Magazine. All the popular
ANNALS should be started now. No
greenhouses are necessary, not even a
hotbed or coldirame, though the best
results come from such. Eariness alone
would hardly be worth striving for, il a
plant bloomed for definite period, say
four weeks, because what YOU would
gain at one end would be lost at the
other But in many cases, especially yer.
benas and petunias, month earlier
means a clear gain of thirty days, for the
same plants, with good management,
will continue to bloom until fost.

Spasms of Pr0priety .

The Philadelphia Press has received
answers to an inquiry, from many cities,
1t had asked what measures had been
taken to control disorderly places, The
replies are disheartening. There is law
enough, but no efficient enforcement of it
anywhere, five except occasional spasms.

say of this condition of affairs.

Gently appointed to canvass the city and
raise 5000. 30 that the orchestra can con-
tinue next year. 1t was stated yesterday
that lady prominent in social circles, and
who had been supporter of the orchestra
from the beginning, had raised 5000
among her friends to continue the orches-
ira another season. but that none of this
money would be used to pay the present
Indebtedness. If that is the case 1t looks
as If two or three gentlemen who have
affixed their names to certain negotiable
pieces of paper to prevent earlier disinte-
grafton of the organization. would be COM
PEELED to pay all of the present debt, which
hardly seems fair to them. That, however,
is a matter that will probably come up for
consideration at the meeting next Satur-
day.
The outcome of yesterdays testimonial
must have been grievous disappointment
to those who looked forward to it as
means of an honorable liquidation of the
amount owed.
The orchestra played well and the pro-
gram was an interesting one. Mrs. Bishop
and Mr.. Wrightson, the two vocal soloists,
were well applauded for their efforts, as
was also Mr.. Schubert, who proved himself
a master of the cello.

of a bonesetter, who has been successful
in treating other patients.
Several months ago Mrs. TimmonS fell
while dancing at ball in Washington, and
suffered an obscure injury to one of her
legs. She did not benefit by the treatment
of the surgeons who attended her, her lame
ness increased and for some time she has
been able to walk only with great difficulty.
The bonesetter discovered that she had
some injury of the hip, not of the ankle, as
had been supposed. Mrs. Timmons for the
first time in long while walked up flight
of stairs without assistance today. She
said. hopefully:
Il believe I'll be able to dance at the in

MISSIVFS OF LOVE.
Approach of st. Valentines Dav
Causes Activity,

With st. Valentines day barely week
on the stores where the gentle reminders
of the old-time patron of love and pleasure
are sold are thronged with prospective pur-
chasers. On counters and hanging to the
walls are millions of the dainty missives
that will make the heart of some fair wo-
man glad when she awakes on the morning
of February A.
An examination of the large stock of
valentines at Woodward & Lothrop's makes
it noticeable that comic pictures with their
vulgar and hearth breaking verse are randi
ly being pushed into the background. and
that the bits of lace effusiveness are little
used. Instead have come the cards of
unique design with appropriate verse as a
gentle reminder that the recipient is in the
thought of one who would like to be con-
Sdered a friend if not more
