playing t.so instruments can secure
an engagement where be who plays
but one wcull be left unemployed dur

panies who take their musicians along
often insist on their doubling up--that
is, playing hrass in street parade or

strument IN the orchestra. In the good
old summer time the demand Is for
brass. In the Writer strings are in re-
quest. so nj the ch;lnge of season many
cornet and horn players put away their
brass instruments, take up their tiadlcs
and their bows and play at balls and
dances all the winter long.
Besides this. there is another thing
to be considered. Every cornet and
horn player must look forward to the
time when his lip gives out After
years Of horn playing the overtaxed
muscles of the lips become relaxed.
They are strained from the constant
demands made upon them by holding
them In certain position. Sometimes

1t has been said that kingsley's fame
as poet is not so wide as 1t deserves
to be. Whatever truth there may be
in this assertion there can be no doubt
regarding his right to place in the
front rank of nineteenth century novel;
lists kingsley's ALTON Locke the
Chartist novel, in which he eclipsed
even Dickens in his vivid picture OF
the life of the poorer classes, some
what outshone his later works, but
even these betray indications on every
page of having emanated from mas

-Platteville Journal. The new mill
owned by the Brown, Earl and Kodatz
mining companies, has been in oper-
alton for the past thirty days, running
on ore mined at the Earl. The results
exceeded the fondest expectations of
the owners of the Earl mine. 1t is ex-
pected however that it will be necessary
to install magnetic rooster and separ-
ating plant in order to derive better
prices which is generally paid for roast
ed ore. The mill was accepted Monday
and Dr. Fawkes of Mineral Point, man.
ager of the companies, expressed him
self quite forcibly as to the high eff
cheney of the plant.

in the back yards, and gardens were
made, lawns were raked, paper picked

Posters and Advertising.

Posters announcing the sale of per-
sonal property now appear in the
stores and public places. The mum.
Der of people who see them, or have
the time to read them clearly, is linn
tied to those who chance to enter
these places or go ON business, and
even after reading the list are not
likely to remember the articles adver-
tised. Now if the articles named
on the posters were advertised
i'll the local newspaper, which
goes into the homes of the people i'll
the community and surrounding sec
tons, where every member of the
family could read them. refer to them,
and to whom some of the advertised
articles would doubtless appeal in n
direct way, is it not reasonable to
assume that the ATTENDANCE at the sale
would be greater through wider
publicity?
The most important consideration
III conducting public sale is the eff
fort to make it public III drawing buy
ers. Perhaps that man who resides
two or three miles distant wanted n
horse or n moving machine, and the
lady of the house bedroom suit and
perhaps Il parlor carpet, but they
didn't see the poster which advertised
them; they were not present at the
sale, because these articles did not
appear in their newspaper and Mr..
Seller is perhaps from SO to Si5 ont
