Light work for advertising for chalk

favor an advertisement They are
built to do hard work and should be
sent out on dull days when a custom
er has to be knocked down with hard
facts, kicked insensible with bank
rupt reductions and dragged in with
irresistible slaughter Of prices before
he will spend a cent. That is the
end and aim of advertising and ifyou
ever open store don't try to get
them to come when they are sticking
out Of the windows, but give them
your advertisement right between the
eyes in the dull season, and you will
wax rich and own fast horse and
perhaps be able to smoke a cigar
once OF twice a year. Write this
down where you will fall over it
every day. The time to draw busi-
ness is when you want business and
not when you have more business
than you can attend to already.

How times have changed, says an
exchange. When We we're young,
people had bad colds. soaked their
feet in hot water and got well. Now
they have grippe, take quinine and
feel sick all summer. Then they
had sore throat, wrapped piece
of fat pork in an old sock, tied it
around the neck at night and went to
work the next morning. Nov they
have tonsilitis, surgical operation
and two weeks in the house. Then
they had stomach ache and toox
castor oil and recovered. Now they
have appendicitis, a week in the
hospital and then-six feet due east
and west and six feet perpendicular.
They worked then, they labor now.
In those days they wore under
clothes, now they wear lingerie.
Then they went to restaurants, now
they go to cafe. Then they broke
a leg, now they fracture limb. In
hose days people went crazy. now
they have brainstorm. Politicians
hen paid good, hard cash for sup
port. now they send government
garden seeds. Yes, times have
changed and we all change with the
lines. That's progression.

VTheodore Boliskie. the hunter and
trapper. spent Saturday and Sunday
with friends in Nezperce prior to
departing for his home in the heart
of the Bitter Roots where be viii re-
main until next spring. Mr.. Bolis-
kie and II. L. Walraith and wife, of
Orohno, returned home last week
from a two months tript to Graves
peak, and. while they report an
abundance of game. the trip was one
of unusual hardship. While camp
ed at Walton lake snow fell to
depth of over foot and after cross
ing over to the Lolo trail another
severe mountain snow storm was en-
countered. At Bald mountain the
party were compelled to abandon
four horses on account of their
becoming exhausted by not be-
ing able to get anything to eat.
Mr.. Boliskie's first thought was to
insure the safety of his party which
he did and then returned for the
horses. Three of them we're in no
condition to travel and had to be
killed. The fourth he managed to
get to a settlement we're it after
wards died. Mr.. Boliskie is loud
IN his praise for Mrs. Wslraith
whom be says encounted the trials |
and hardship of the trip without a |
murmur and faced the dangers with
more nerve than many man.

big FOUR" SUPREMACY
IS NEARING ITS END

It is quite apparent from the play
of the minor teams in football that the
days Of the big four" supremacy in
football are nearing an end This is
not surprising Most of these minor
colleges are now employing Yale
coaches. AS the Yale system is de-
veloped all over the country the big
ger colleges will hnd it harder TO win
As an illustration of what Yale meth
DDS accomplish the Navy is an example
so long as other colleges furnished the
coachers the Middios did not do much
and West Point, with the Yale training
was nearly always a winner Suddenly
the Navy got on to the game and Yale
men were called in. Last year Harvard
beat the Navy TO 0, this year it is
a tie, and a mighty lucky one at that
Just so with Syracuse It always had
a fine heavy team, but did not make
