He Waited.

He was a skeptic regarding the ad-
vantages of advertising ones busi-
ness; said he didn't think it made
any particular difference whether u
man advertised or not. He opened
store in the Miller Block, corner of
South Third and Olive Streets for the
sale of wall paper, says the Still
water, Mimi, Gazette. This was
early in the spring-this last spring,
or at least, what we called spring.
He placed Il sign over the door which
read clearly and distinctly "St. Paul
Wall Paper Store" and thought that
was enough. thought all he had to
do then was simply sit down and
customers from the various portions
of the civilized world would come
tumbling in locking for wall paper.
He seemed to labor under a delusiOn
that because he could see the sign nd
knew that he had wall paper on sale,
that other people must necessarily
be aware of that important fact
He entertained the same insane. but
common delusiOn that influences a
multitude Of people: that if ones
name appears cOnspicuously on a
piece OF paper, especially if it is called
a newspaper. even if it has no circu-
latiOn worth mentioning, why, ones
name and business must imm ediate-
ly become known to all men. And
so the man with the wallpaper store
waited for the business that was
surely coming but never came He
had even taken the precauti0n to Sc
cure the services of an assistant,
who, tired of waiting, obtained a
position else where. and after Il few
weeks more OF waiting, the man
who didn't believe in advertising,
folded up his traps and calamitics
and vanished from sight. People
Who passed that place day by day,
inciden;a a ly noticed that the st. Paul
wall paper mans sign was gone,
and that the windows were shaded,
ana that it was just the least bit
more quiet around that corner than
before That Is, the front door was
closed, the curtains drawn and the
sign removed. That was all.

Over Thirty-five Years.

In 1872 there was Il great deal of
diarrhOa, dysentery and cholera in
fantum. 1t was at this time that
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was first brought
into use. 1t proved more successful
than any other remedy or treatment
and has for thirty-fve years main-
tained that record. from a small
beginning it's sale and use has ex-
tended to every part of the United
States and to many foreign coun-
tries. Nine druggists out OF ten will
recommend it when their opinion is
asked, although they have other
medicines that pay them a greater
profit. 1t can always be depended
upon, even in the most severe and
dangerous cases. For sale by Col

Cat Brought Small Fortune.

/ DICK llllams, q prominent opera
t tor in the Tonopah district, who
claims to be the first man to bring n
cat into Yukon, is telling for the
benefit OF those interested in the
, prospective Alaska Yukon Pacific
Exposition, which opens at Seattle,
June lst, 1909, many tales of the
early days. AS the Exposition hopes
to reproduce many famous scenes
and cabins of the stirring days OF
1S91-'9S, Williams stories are of i'll
terest and assistance.
1.-The cat that made me famous -
said Williams, ''like many famous
men, had a humble pedigree. Ipickt
her up in an alley in Seattle between
First and Second Avenues one night
in August. 1897. Next day l went
North. | brought the cat along for
company as it was my first trip, and
| had no thought then of making a
profit OF it. Dawson was mighty
homeless place the winter of lS97-'9S.
| arrived on one OF the last boats
that fail and to my astOnisnment
hundreds came to see the cat and
offer after offer to purchase it poured
in. The camp was lively enough,
but its lonesOmeness consisted in the
absence of home touches, an absence
which my cat seemed to supply. l
finally had to sell pussy as my
money ran out, and got somewhat
over Il thousand dollars for her.
do not believe that a homeless cat
ever sold for so much before in all
history. Next Summer they brought
in a boat load of cats that the miners
eagerly bought, and from that time
on the price OF cats decreased and
their number grew"

Hills That Move.

1t is a remarkable fact that sand
hillsl move. On the Pomeranian
coasts there are large tracts of sand.
heaped up by the wind. hundreds OF
yards in breadth, and from 60 to 1oO
feet high, and these hills, propelled by
the wind, move steadily in an caster
ly direction. The speed at which
they travel is at the rate of from 80
to III feet year. Pine woods, which
sometimes come in their line, do not
stop them. and are completely des-
trOyed. The branches are rOtted off
by the sand, and nothing is left OF
OF the trees but the bare stems which
after a few years wither and die
