Did you ever see the tent gang
at circus driving the pickets to
hold the guy-ropcs of the big tent ?
-Four or five men armed with
mauls surround the picket, and
each one hits it alternate blows as
often and as hard as he can. One
man and one maui could drive it
down, but it would be IA longer
job. The bigger and heavier the
hammer the quicker and easier will
the work be done. Two men, or
20, with tack hammers wouldn't
get the picket driven in five years.
Here is a parallel in advertising.
II you're anxious to drive your
business, use two or three papers,
and make the advertising hammer
the space-as big as possible.
If you can't afford two big mauls,
then buy only one use only one
paper and make the space big
enough to be felt You will ac-
complish more with one good big
hammer than with half a dozen
tack hammers.

Another year is drawing to a
close. Another milestone of life is
in view and we shall, in all human
probability, pass it and struggle on

may write will cause them to think
more seriously of all life means to
them and the brief period that is
given to improve it. The boy

you whether your name shall go

or whether it shall pass into obliv-

your mortal remains. Now is the

two roads to travel one leads to
happiness and honor, the other to
sorrow or degradation. We sup
pose You want to travel the first

Thursday afternoon of last week
when returning from Ste. Gene
We've to their home in Staabtown,
Alfred Lalumondier and his daugh-
ter sustained serious injury by be-
ing thrown from their wagon.
When going down Linderer's hill
the breast yoke on one of the
horses broke, causing the wagon
tongue to fall. This frightened
the horses and they ran away.
Mr.. Lalumondier was thrown for
ward over the dashboard and fell
at the feet of the plunging horses,
receiving a very severe scalp wound
and was otherwise painfully bruised
about the body. His daughter
jumped from the wagon when the
horses started to run and had her
leg broken between the knee and
ankle, Another younger daughter
remained in the wagon and was
uninjured, They were taken to
the home of Ed. Linderer and a
physician was summoned. Mr..
Lalumondier's injuries are consid-
cred dangerous, owing to his ad,
vanced age.

Husbands, Read This and See
How You Measure Up to the
Rev. Scudder's Model.

JERSEY CITY, May Am his SER
mon OIL How to Treat Your Wife," the
Rev. John L. Soudder, of the First
Congregational Church, said in part:
One qualification of a good husband
is his willingness to give his wife a
reasonable part of his time and atten-
tion.
Another characteristic of a model
husband is his willingness to give his
wife a proper amount of spending
money--a regular allowance she can
call her own. If she is a good house
keeper she is entitled to it, for she
earns 1t. If a wife receives no spend
ing money she is worse off than a
hired girl. Next to whiskey nothing
makes SO much i'll feeling in the home
as the pocketbook.
Another quality in a good husband
is his determination to cultivate cheer
fulness and scatter sunshine in his
home. He removes burdens wherever
he can and moves around the house
like a bearded angel, blessing every
thing he touches. He oyerlooks any
little weaknesses his wife may possess.
He is jovial and ienient n let's the
little woman have her own way in
many things, always allowing her to
haN the last word.
