Mark Twain on Advertising

"It pays to ADVERTISE" said Mark
Twain at an advertisement writer's
banquet.
when l was editing the Vir-
ginia City Enterprise, writing copy
one day and mining the next, I
tried to force this truth home in
many ways.
"a superstitious subscriber once
wrote aud said he had found a spi-
der in his paper. Was this good or
bad luck? replied to him in our
Answers to Correspondents column
as follows:
"Old Subscriber-The finding of a
spider in your copy of the Enter
prise was neither good luck nor bad,
The spider was merely looking over
our pages to fndout what merchant
was not advertising, SO it could
spin it's web across his door and
lead free and undisturbed exist
ence forever after.

A rumor is going the rounds that
the small Hines mill in this city
has recently been sold to Whitney
Brothers Of Duluth. This is the
company to whom Mr.. Stevens sold
all his timber and piling from the
Northern Pacific dock, and to whom
Kenfield & LamoreauX sold all their
piling from the ''PeerIess" bridge
at the head of the bay. A member
of the firm inspected the mill
thoroughly last Friday. Nothing is
known as to what the new owners
expect to do with the property.
A stranger attempted to roo the
cash register at Eugene Cotton's
saloon Tuesday morning. While
Mr.. Cotton was in the back yard
after wood he heard the cash regis
ter bell ring. Upon returning the
fellow who had been the only occu-
pant of the saloon was threatened
with thrashing if he did not retnrn
the money he had taken. He did re-
turn the money and was allowed to
depart, after receiving several kicks
where nature intended. From the
description given by Mr.. Cotton it
is thought that the fellow is Peter
Soulier formerly of Bayfield,, but
who recently returned from Green
Bav after serving a six months term
for larceny from the person.

Farmers Fail to Show Up.

The annual meeting of the North
Wisconsin Farmers Association
held in this town on Tuesday did
not argue well for the interest taken
by the membership in the twelve or
more counties represented in the
organization. The attendance was
very small, and but very few of the
horny handed sons of toil' put in
an appearance, The Hurley Band,
engaged and paid by the citizens of
Hurley to welcome the visitors. did
not have very strenuous time ex-
cept in searching for Victims"
The special trains failed to material
ize and there was no straining of
accommodations at the hotels.
In the forenoon a meeting of the
executive committee was held and
in the afternoon the officers made
their reports. which were received
and adopted. Some little friction
came up over the matter of obtain
ing state aid for the association and
vote to adjourn was taken before
arriving at solution and settlement
of the matter. The matter of the
election of officers was ostponed
until some future time. The report
Of the treasurer. as read, showed
that there had been sonnet hing over
$1,000 collected and paid out during
the past year and that something
like $500 in cash and pledges re-
mained on hand. 1t is the intention
of the officers to keep the Car
Grassland in motion until about
May 1st it possible. Hurley Miner.

Have you noticed the artistic
decorations at the Leader store?
Have you ever taken the trouble

being done by Washburn boy
who has made an exhaustive
study of the subject of window
dressing and card printing.
Arthur Aune who occupies the
position of head clerk at the
Leader is perhaps one of the
best window trim mers in the
northern part of the state. His
work not only displays effective
Ily the business side of the

taste of tradespeople is also ap-

bright future before him in his
chosen profession. The Leader

Mormons in Mexico.

From the Mexican Herald.
The wonderful success of the Mormon
colonies in the northwestern part of Chi

tie appreciated in Mexico, where they
alone Of all foreigners have accomplish
their characterization. They now num-
Der fully 1000 souls-3, 500 in Chihuahua

splendid schoolhouses and an educational
system. good farms and orchards, good
cattle, horses and hogs, and in every way
their. settlements would pass muster with
the thrifty farming settlements in the
western part of the United States.
The Mormons in Mexico are an example
of the best in quiet, law-abiding people.
1t is exceedingly seldom that the author
tiles have any trouble with Mormon,
and they pay their taxes for the support
Of the government better than the Mexi-
cans themselves do. For thrift and in
dustry they are proving what can be
done in building up the country mate
rally, and are thereby an example to all
with whom they are thrown in contact.
These Mormon colonies were Degun a
little more than twenty years ago, when
people of that faith began coming over
land in wagons from Utah. Arizona and
other parts of the United States to settle
in Chihuahua.
