AS TO ADVERTISING
Practical Suggestion to the Prae.
tiCal Business Man Who
Wants to Succeed

The Hardware Record prints the fol-
lowing practical suggestions relative
to advertising:
eff the retailer would make himself
a business which cannot be damaged
by the efforts of the mail-order houses
he must give all the thought he poss-
IDLY can do to his>advertising.
"Many merchants are today failing
to take advantage of the opportunity to
reach the readers of the local papers.
Others are using every issue of the
papers, but are wasting their money
because they do not write their ads.
correctly. Any old thing thrown into
the paper will not do. The ad must
say things, and say them in way to
draw people to the store. A descrip-
ton and attractive price acts as a sug-
gestion, creates the desire, and the
goods are turned into cash. The GUS
toner might come into the store
hundred times and not know that you
handled the goods wanted, but the ad
tells what you have and creates the de-
mand.
"Do not imagine, however, that you
can begin advertising and at once in
crease your business from 25 to 60 per
cent. That would be unreasonable.
You must keep everlastingly at it if
you would get the best results. Start
in on your advertising with the deter
,nination to make each ad better read
ing and of more value to the reader
than the same space in the news COL
ums would be, and then determine to
keep up the good work every day of
your life, and it will not be long be-
fore you will see what advertising will
do in the way of increasing business
for you.'

SOME SOUND ADVICE
Excerpts from Letters of a Self
. Made Politician to His Son
Ia College

The following extract from Let
ters of a Self-made Politician to His
Son" is cf interest at this time:
Dear Samuel: l notice that you
say you are taking course in politi-
cal economy. That's all rgiht, son,
if you are simply taking few sub
jects in order to play on the varsity
team, but if you are taking it with
anv idea of learning politics, it's all
to the bad. Colleges can't teach poll
tics as the game is played today. The
only way to get next to the American
voter is through a big and often dis
astrous school called experience.
why, big Tom McGraw could take
one of our political economy teachers
into the wigwam and teach him more
about handling the third ward in five
minutes than your little professor ever
dreamed existed. Never do what youl
opponents expect you to do, unless
they don't believe what they claim
tn expect.
Dishonesty is a good way to get
state job, but the jobs given in re-
turn are too confining and too exact
ing and man dislikes to be dictated
to as to dress when stripes are in

Council Tree FeIled.

Walter Edgerly has just cut giant
oak tree on his farm, north of Perry,
says the Warsaw correspondent to the
Rochester Herald, which made sixty
one cords Of wood. 1t was six and a
half feet in diameter at the butt and
one limb made five and half cords.
This tree has been prominent land
mark in North Perry for century or
more.
An expert woodman of that locality
who was present when the monarch
of the forest was felled to the ground.
stated that the number of visible
rings in the tree showed that it was
over 400 years old. The oak was
known as the Council Tree" on ac-
count of the fact that history credits
Indian chiefs on the Gen-e-see with
having held their tribal powwows un

BEAR TRAP SET FOR OFFICERS.
Surprise for Deputy Marshas in the
Tennessee Mountains.

Tennessee Mountains.
The gaping Jaws of bear trap is
what conf onted Deputy United States
Marshal John H. Blankenship, Deputy
Marshal George Sharp and others
when they made raid last Friday
night in the mountains of Blount
county, says the Knoxville Sentinel.
In the posse were the two deputies
mentioned and Deputy Revenue Col
lector J. s. Remine. They left this
city and went to the North Carolina
line, and there located distillery al
legged to have been owned and opera
ted by "Unc,e Sam Burchfield. It
was in the fastness of the mountain,
and as the officers were just on the
point of leaping from the roof into the
little house Messrs. Blankenship and
Sharp spied the bear trap, and c,Awl-
ed back.
They were both on the point of leap
ing down at the same time, and had
they done so they would have been
instantly caught in the trap. The
trap is ssid to have been one of the
large ever seen in the mountains of
East Telr see.

Gen. Palma a Teacher.

"Not long since. while visiting in
Cuba, 1 had the pleasure of renewing
an old friendship with the former
president of the island, Gen. T. Estra-
da Palma said Mr.. S. A. Sewer in
the Baltimore American.
Gen. Palma is living quiet, Sc

interest in politics, but devotes him.
self to the simple affairs of rural life.
His chief pleasure is in teaching a
little band of his neighbors' children
to read and write, and he devotes two
or three hours day to that task,
while at night he gives instruction to
a class composed of his farm labor

great part of his life and in his latter

SIMPLE RECIPE
Prepare This Simple Recipe at
Home and Try it
MANY WAIT TOO LONG

Get from any prescription pharma-
cist the following:
Fluid Extract Dande lion, one-half
ounce: Compound, Kargon one ounce;
Compound Syrup SarsapariIla, three
ounces.
Shake we'll in bottle and take a
teaspoon dose after each meal and
at bedtime.
The above is considered as the most
certain prescription ever written to
relieve Backache,. Kidney Trouble,
Weak Bladder and all forms of Uri-
nary difficulties. This mixture acts
promptly on the eliminative tissues
of the Kidneys. enabling them to filter
and strain the uric acid and other
waste matter from the blood which
causes Rheumatism.
Some persons who suffer with the
Affections may not feel inclined to
place much confidence in this simple
mixture, yet those who have tried ii
say the results are simply surprising,
the relief being effected without the
slightest injury to the stomach or 9th
er organs.
Mix some and give it trial. 1t
certainly comes highly recommended.
1t is the prescription of an eminent
authority, whose entire reputation, il
is said, was established by it.
| A druggist here at home, when
asked, stated that he could either sup.
ply the ingredients or mix the pre-
scription for our readers, also recon-.
mends it as harmless.

Will Of a "Red."

An ardent anarchist, who died not
long ago at La Fleche, had announced
that after his death a surprise would
be forthcoming. On examination of his
effects the authorities discovered what
they thought was an Internal machine.
Fearing a disaster, a magistrate sent
for an expert from the School of Ar
tillery at Mans. The expert arrived,
and the bomb was opened with infinite
precautions. Inside were found $4,000
francs and the will of the Red"

Candidates Must Have Good Hearts.

Candidates Must Have Good Hearts.
Running, of all exercises for the
heart, is, 1 think, the best. Of course
one who has a weak heart cannot i'm
mediately run either fast or far; nor
is it necessary for the average indi-
vidual to learn to run great distances
at high speed. But every one owes
it to his Eealth to be able to run with
out distress, say, a half-mile at fair
pace. Let him begin by jogging one
eighth or one-quarter of mile, then a
half-mile, which distance he may ul'
timately run reasonably fast.-G. N'
liott Flint in Outing Magazine.

Keats Last Letter,

Nearby is Keats last letter. perhaps
the last lines he ever wrote. It is little
note OF two sentences inscribed upon a
slip Of paper to Fanny Browne. a young
woman that he happened to be in love
with at that time. 1t reads as follows.
1.-THE passport arrived before we start
ed; don't think shall long be NJ
The prophecy in the last sentence was
soon fulfilled. He was dead before the
note reached its destination.
The manuscript Of "Endymion. his
sweetest poem. lies beside the note which
was written from Rome. where he is
buried in the Protestant cemetery with
that strange inscription
Ills name was writ in water
Thre are several other very interesting
manuscripts. including Thackeray's Van
ity Fair" DuMaurier's 'Trilby," Dry
denis "Eleonora,'' which is ornamented
with many fourishes; Dumas Three
Musketeers,' several short poems by
Alexander Pope and stories by Charles
Dickens, which must have been a trial
because the manuscript is as confusing
a. that of Byron.
Mr.. Morgan has a journal kept by Sir
Isaac Newton in 1863, when the latter
was seventeen years old and student at
a preparatory school. In this little brown
book the young man set down his daily
experiences and facts which he consider
ed important. He tells how to solve GER
tain algebraic problems; he explains how
English spelling could be simplified, and
relates an incident of making birds drunk
by feeding them with grain soaked in
spirits. 1t is quite as characteristic as
the commonplace book of George Wash
ington. which belonged to Dr. Toner of
Washington city and is now In the Ma
tional Museum.
