Nea. Trick PLAYED bx Robbers

1t was certainly reprehensible,
though one cannot but smile at the
bold trick played by half dozen men
in Paris few evenings ago. These in
dividuals rang at the door of private
house, and before the servant could
announce their arrival the leader had
donned an official scarf and introduced
himself as a police commissioner,
seized about $1,000 which was lying
on the table as stakes in a game of
poker, and saying he would not
trouble the host and his guests
to call at the. Office that evening,
but would be obliged if they
would do so the next morning,
politely departed. When the players
dutifully called at the office the next
day their visit created visible surprise,
and they learned to their disgust that
this police commissioner of the night
before had tricked them, and their
81 900 lad been carried off by a gang
of thieves. So much for playing poker
and having an uneasy conscience!

DocToRED coFFEEs.
AduIterated Goods Sent Out by Con
Germs Who Do Mail Order Business.


Farmers who have had their curiosity
ty aroused over the pure food matter
might profit by doing a little thinking.
Some of the big mail order houses are
the greatest distributors of adulterated
goods. In fact, the claim is made that
the greatest amount of adulterated cof-
fees and the like are sold through
agents and the mail order concerns.
Lately the state chemist Of western
state has been deyoting attention to
the goods put out by mail-order con-
Germs. He secured samples of coffee
and had them examined by one of the
leading chemists. 1t was found that
one of the chief blends" which was
sold for IS cents pound was COM
posed of IS per cent. broken coffee,
Il per cent. chicory and 81 per cent.
roasted oats. Oats are worth about
40 cents bushel. It requires not
much figuring to show how much the
customers of this blend of coffee are
paying for their "oats." There are
dozens Of concerns in the country who
do a large business through women
agents who work for premiums, and
who give cheap premiums with the
goods sold. There is barely a single
one of these concerns who handles pure
goods. There are efforts being made
now to have the postal authorities for
bid these concerns the use of the
United States mails.

"sank Of ENGLAND jockeys

Hardly any living or dead jockey has
enjoyed so many nicknames as John
Osborne, still hale and hearty, whose

career on the race track won for him
one name-"The Bank of England

Although getting on toward 80, he
continues to ride to hounds and to
take an active part In trials on Middle
ham Moor, while never a northern
meeting passes without his personal

WAYS TO ADVERTISE
REACHING TIE PEOPLE WITH
TRUTH FoRcIBLY EXPRESSED.
UTILITY OF HOME NEWSPAPERS
They Bring the Best Results to the
Merchant When Rightly Used
Soh.e Merit in Circulars
and Letters,

There is advertising, and there is
advertising. One kind is the almost
money-wasted kind, and the other of
the class that counts. The merchant
VINO has always placed little faith In
advertising is the one who has never
tried 1t in the right way. He is the
one who places little card in the
paper, merely stating that he is a
dealer in such and such goods. He
IS the one who is always grumbling
about business, about the ways of
ether merchants, and the trade that
goes away from the town.
1t is all in how the advertisement
IL built, both in wording and typo
graphically, and what kind of circu-
lating medium it is placed in. When
advertising, it Is essential that the ad-
vertiser say something, and say that
something right to the point. It is
a pretty good idea to give prices.
Prices always appeal to the purchas-
ing public. It matters not whether
they are a little lower or little
higher than somebody else's prices,
to give prices and preach cheapness,
quality and bargains, will attract at
tention. There never was any money
made by the small merchant in the
rural city or town that won out by ly-
ing. Lies may do for the mail-order
houses, the department store and the
cheap.John in the big city, but never
Hr hn 7VN hn oil
town.
The merchant who builds up repu-
tation for honest goods, square deal
and prices that are right, will win.
He gets the people to think that he
Is ION the square," that he is selling
goods at honest profits, and keeps his
advertisement ever before them and
finds that it pays. The merchant who
wins must be up-to-date. He must
know about new goods, understand
the latest ideas in his particular line,
and be quick to put all good ideas into
practice.
Circulars are only good as flyers"
They are not supposed to take the
place of regular newspaper advertis-
ing. They are short-lived, and good
only for the advertising of kind that
can be classed as "transitory." Watch
the successful merchant, and you will
find that he rarely uses circulars, IN
less for placing in packages of goods.
This is a thing that should not be
overlooked. 1t is a good idea to have
a lot of circulars advertising new
goods, specialties, etc., and place one
in every package. This is good way
to make announcement Of the arrival,
or the expected arrival, of new stocks.
But circular advertising should be only
supplementary to the regular newspa-
per advertising. d. VI. CARR.

SERMo

Lions of evil In the way of
the Christian are always chained
If he is walking the pathway
marked out by God.
1t takes the eye of faith to see
that the resources and power of
God are always greater than
those of the enemy.
The forces of evil can never
crowd In so close upon the soul
as to prevent Gods hosts COM
ing In between.
A fact for the Christian 20
rest on: 1.-THE angel Of the
Lord encampeth round about
them that fear him and deIivereth
them"
: The peace and assurance that
that fact brings: Though an
: host should encamp against me,
: my heart shall not fear; though
war should rise against me, in
: this will I be confident"
. The unseen forces of God are
: ever on guard lest evil come
nigh thy dwelling.
: syria's mighty army was but
puppet In the hands of God.
: What fools God made Of those
mighty men Of war as like
: sheep they were led into the
trap set for them by the prophet.
Surely God "bringeth the coun.
sells Of the heather to naught:
: he maketh the devices of the
people (eviI) of none effect"
: How wonderful seems this
story of Gods hosts coming to
: the deliverance of Elisha, but it
is no more wonderful than the
experience which may come to
every child of God. Positively
no evil can befaII the one who
10 abiding in Christ save that
which is to the honor and glory
of God and the furtherance of
the Gospel. With what sublime
courage did the realization of
: this fact fill the apostle Paul and
;; send him fearIessly into every
: danger and every suffering,
even unto death. II was the
J realization of this fact which en-
abied the Christ to turn upon Pr
J late as he boosted of his
power to cruelty him and calm
; Iy declare: "Thou couIdest
have no power at all against
me, except it were given thee
from above"
The Christian who fears be-
fore evil not only dishonors God
but proves traitor to the cause
of Christ In which he has en-
listed.
We need to offer the prayer
Of Elisha: "Lord, open thou
mine eyes," In order that we
may see the mighty forces which
} are at our command In the fight
against sin In our own lives and
. the evil in the world.
Not only did God give sight
; TO the young man so that he
could see the invisible forces
; present to deliver, but he shut
the eyes Of Syria's mighty men
so that they saw not whittier
their way took them. How linn
itIess are the powers of our God.

OFFERING OF BONUSES.
Not All Enterprises Asking Assistance
Prove to Be Good Things.

Many towns that are anxious to Sc
cure manufacturing enterprises that
will afford employment for the peo-
pie receive propositions from different
concerns DESTROYS to locate somewhere
where the people will loosen the
strings on their purses and put up
bonus. The bonus proposition is all
right sometimes, but in the majority
of cases it means just so much money
lost. There are hundreds of towns
in the country that have tried the
bonus deals, and with regret to the
onesSwho supplied the cash. 1t may
be all right to subscribe for stock in
a meritorious concern that is strug-
Cling for capital to carry on it's oper-
ations. In fact it is always a good
idea to have the stock of any manu-
featuring enterprise owned by the
people of the town where the concern
is located. But too often the bonus
hunter, is simply a bonus hunter and
his enterprise is not likely to amount
to much.
