| ''The new advertiser looks for direct Using and if he doesn't get them is likely to think the advertising unprofitable,' '' large advertiser says in the Pure Food Era. The old and experienced advertiser is willing to wait results, and it is he who generally gets them. Only bargain adver- tising brings in business with a rush and it must be rem embered that bargain ad- vertising is not profitable in itsef-the profit comes later. Bargains bring people again, and it is the people who come again who make profitable customers.
 Advertising lives a great deal longer than most people give it credit for. An ad that is in today loses it's value only when the last man who saw it is dead. An experience of mine on the life of ad- vertising may not be amiss. In month ly class publication inserted an adver- tisement one month, from which imme- diate replies did not seem to justify con- tinuance, and 1 stopped it. Six months afterwards got reply that brought me more business than the advertisement cost. About ten months afterwards heard from man who paid me several times the cost of the advertisement.
 Who knows but if I had continued the advertising it might have made me rich?
 The direct and immediate results were almost nothing. The results that came after had supposed the advertisement dead and forgotten were as profitable as they were surprising. and Printer.

The Word Estiuuette,

The very high sounding word eti- ouette had a very humble origin, for etiquette meant simply a label. It re- ceived it's present signifcation from the fact that a Scotch gardener who laid out the grounds at Versailles for Louis XIV. was much annoyed at the courtiers walking over his newly made paths and at length had labels placed to indicate where they might pass. At first these labels were not attended to, but hint from high quarters that in future the walks of the courtiers must be within the "etiquettes" or labels was promptly attended to. To keep within the etiquettes became the cor rect thing. The meaning of the phrase was afterward Widened

A Sardinian Ti+hit.

The inhabitants of the mountainous districts of Sardinia eat large quanti- ties of fermented milk, resembling koumiss or kephir. It is prepared by allowing the milk of the COW, sheep or goat to ferment at a moderately high temperature, either spontaneously or after the addition of bakers yeast, un- til 1t thickens into more or less con- sistent homogeneous mass, at which stage the fermentation is stopped by plunging the vessel into cold water This product, which has a sharp acid flavor, is eaten either by itself or is spread as a butter upon bread.

 "Well, papa" replied the little miss q have just been reading a lovely story about how a little girl only three years old put fresh flowers every day on her dear dead mothers grave, and her mother had killed herself, and thought how nice 1t would be to have little girl put beautiful flowers or my grave"

Huperior Court.

Judge Shumway has handed down decision in the case of Jennie E. King of Vernon vs. Allen R. Lathrop, administrator on the estate of B. B. Lathrop of Vernon. awarding the plaintiff $1O95. Mrs. King brought suit at the April term of the superior court to recover the sum of $45OO, for services as housekeeper and nurse from April 24, 1899, to March 19, 1905, and to recover $194 for money loaned the late B. B. Lathrop. In his memorandum accompanying the decision Judge Shumway says: The two questions of fact raised by plead ings and evidence in this case are these: First, what were the value of the plaintiffs services; second, was she paid for those services and for the money laid out for the said Everett B. Lathrop. As to the first fact, find the value of the services rendered to be $3 per week, and l further find that same has not been paid. There is due the plaintiff from the estate of Everett B. Lathrop the sum of $194 for money loaned and expended at said Lathrop's request, making a total of $1O85, and judg- ment for the plaintiff ordered for said sum.
 Judge ShumWay also filed his find ing in the case of William B. Mar tins appeal from the decision of the railroad commissioners, the decision being in favor of the plaintiff. Ar guments were heard at the April ses- sion on the motion of the Stafford Springs Street Railway company to erase the appeal from the docket. This motion is denied by the court and the appeal allowed.

BRIMFlELD.

Miss Carrie E. Bacon and Mrs. Carrie Fisk of Springfield spent Sum- day in Brimfield.
 The first electric passenger car went over the road from Palmer to East Brimfield Monday. As it passed by to announce to the inhabitants the long awaited event. The pupils of the grammar schools and academy were permitted to cheer and wave their handkerchiefs as the car passed by, and the academy boys lined up and gave their newly acquired "yell. '" The car bore a party of inspection, consisting of Division Superintendent Hunnewell, Contractor Fred T. Ley, Engineer Hart, Engineer Braina1d and James Scanlan, superintendent of construction.
 Dr. Samuel A. Fisk, accompanied by Mrs. Fisk, has gone to Washington to attend the seventh triennial con- gross of American physicians and sur geons held there this week. Dr. Fisk will give paper, entitled "A search for suitable climate,' at the meet ing of the American olimatological assoication. He will show the ad vantages of Colorado above any other locality for those suffering from tu- berculosis, and is especially qualified for the position he takes by reason of personal experience. After receiving the appointment of house physician to the Massachusetts general hospital, Dr. Fisk had an attack of pneumonia, which resulted in tuberculosis. He went to Denver about 1880, where he recovered his health and became dis. tinguished in his profession, giving especial attention to tubercular pa. tients. In his practice of about 1s years he became authority in lang diseases, and was one of the best. known physicians in this country. Probably no one has done more than Dr. Fisk to open up Colorado as g health resort to the world. Dr. Fisk was director and the dean of the medical department of the univer. sity of Denver and president of the state medical society. He has made climatolegy a special study. Dr. Fisk has retired from practice, and since several years of travel has made his permanent home in Brimfield.
