ADVERTISING.

Advertising is the wonder of
the age. It sells goods, unites
loving hearts, disposes of bah :
cabs, makes the mare go and re-
turns a long lost bull-pup to a
lobster. Advertising brings
business to'the bug eradicator,
atades a cohsumptive automobile
for a doped plug, disposes of gold
bricks to good things" makes
folks think they have symptoms
of diseases cured by patent
med cines and sells parrots to the
unwary. Advertising, like a
humble. bee, has two ends one
that BUNDLES and one that kicks
back with a singer on its tail.
Advertising has made poor
men rich and rich men poor; it
has been bread and meat for the
successful advocate Of its virtues
and wrecking shoal for thousands
who have overestimated their
persuasive qualities. 1t is the
golden sesame that unlocks the
palace of Opportunity, but two
edgee sword to the man who
understands it not and trihes
with its favor. Like the knight
who went to win his lady love or
die, so must advertising be ap-
preached in the financial sense.
1t breaks or it makes. Linked
with good common sense it tri-
umphs for its travelling mate.
Joined to a coward or an ass, it
falls amuck and drags its partner
along with it. 1t is more certain
than a woman and as reliable as
the corn crop in Iowa, if wisely
used. A fool should not play sky
rocket with fire brands, neither
should a monkey try to make
money with ads. Fundamental
ly administered it is as certain
to produce satisfying results as
is the surmise that the young
couple who sell their baby-cab
after the first born has outgrown
it will have to buy another. If
you are willing to make a work.

WAR TO

Hook and Line Operators Planning
for Hard Fight and Are
Organizing.

SEA BRIGHT, Nov. 30:-Trouble
between the pound fishermen and the
hook and line fishermen along this
section of the Atlantic coast, which
became acute on Monday when the
pound men caused the arrest of three
line men for taking fish out of the
pounds with hook and line, is taking
on proportions which neither side ex-
pected when the purely local row was
taken into the courts. The matter IS
to go to the highest courts, and
money and legal aid are pouring in
on the line fishermen. Fulton mar
ket fishermen today sent an offer of
$1,000 to aid in the fight, and the
Newark Fish and Gun Club sent word
that they would furnish the best le-
gal talent in the country to aid the
line men, because the line men were
making a fight along lines which the
club had been agitating for years.
From A. NJ. Hoxie, president of the
Central and South Eastern railway
, came word of encouragement, because

OF their right to have them out at

permit was for the summer only, and
the fishermen were directed to re-

period of danger of stoms arose. The
line men say this has not been obeyed.
Last week the pound men gath

Hoxie has fought along the same
