The Light That Failed.
Philadelphia Record.


When she newspapers OF Butte,
Mont, were compelled to suspend
publication on account OF labor
troubles last month the Withdrawal
OF advertising opportunity all but
killed business. Deprived OF the aid
OF newspaper space in exploiting
their wares, the local merchants re-
sorted to hsndbills and circulars,
the most liberal use OF which failed
TO revive trade. L. was a most I'M
pressive object lesson on the value
OF newspaper publicity. Advertising
becomes positively Indispensable to
any merchant who has once given It
fair trial.

Urich Herald.

The joke Is now being told on one
OF Urich's young mstrons. A few
nights ago she sat up until l o'clock
waiting for her husband to come
home, supposing that he was up
town to a town board meeting. At
last weary and worn out, she went
up stairs to retire, only to find her
husband in bed fast asleep. Instead
OF going down town he had stolen
up stairs and crawled into bed which
made his wife so angry she didn't
speak to him for a week.

Bates had himself given me this in

pleasure in imparting it with a Ger

soap at the principal drug store and
purchased a package of smoking to-

News of my arrival had evidently
reached the villagers; l was conceited
enough to imagine that my presence
was probably of interest to them; but
the station master the girl at the post
Office and the clerks in the shops
| treated me with an unmistakable cold
reserve. There was certain even
ness of the chill with which they Wis
tied me, as though particular degree
of frigidity had been agreed on in ad
