Does This Apply To You7

Yes Mr.. Merchant, you may
have been resident of this town
for thirty years, and everybody (?)'
in the county may know you are in
business here-what of it? For
thousands of years goodly share
of the people of this world have
claimed to know and feel that there
is better and more glorious world
in the great beyond, but it has tax
en- heap of advertising to get
them to point their tracts that way.
Not only the book of all books,
but thousands of religious books
and millions of papers are annually
printed and put out among the peo-
pile, showing the advantage of trad
ing this earthly life for a far better
one, and millions and billions have
been spent to pay ministers, mis-
sionaries and exhorters, to go out
and drum up converts to the good
things they offered and advocated.
There has been strong competi-
ton during these thousand of years.
The devil has been a great adver-
tiser, too. He has had millions of
villainous books and papers printed
setting forth what he has to offer
these poor mortals. He holds up
sin of all kinds. dressed in gaudy
and brilliant attire. often very
pleasing to the eye. He erects
gambling and dricking palaces, and
his numerous dens of vice are hung
in rich silks, satins and velvet; and
like the dishonest merchant, who
palms off goods pleasing to the eye
but made of worthless fabric, he
hes endeavored to keep hid from
his customers the fact that, the
wages of sin is death. So you Mr..
Merchant, have been here twenty
or thirty years, and everybody
knows you, and you don't have to
what is food and raiment for the
body, but it is desmed necessary to
spend millions of dollars annually.
to keep before the people where
and how to abtain spiritual food
and raiment,
And you Mr.. Merchant, who
don't need to advertise, because
you are so well known, havs you
not often seen a new merchant
come to town and insite of three
years realize he was taking in dol
lars where you were dimes? But
the new man who was aois to do
that was an advertiser, in every
instance. The people of the coun-
ty soon grew familiar with his name
then with his store and stock; you
IN the meanwhile gradually faded
from their memory, and are now
only a moss grown reminiscence.'

It is a awful hard job to think up a new subjeckt for editorial in the Bugle every week-it is hard CT job than most folks have any idea of. If our subsckribers thinks that we set down in our sanktum sancktorum and take up our edito- rial pen and dash off a red hot edi- torial for the Bugle each week on the spur of the moment they are a good cal mistaken because we do not do so, we never have did SO and we never expeckt to did so.
 Subjeckts for able editorials in the Bugle do not come to Us unso- lisited-we haft to think deeply and
 skratch our he'd and chew the end of our pen holder and cudgle our editorial brains in order to dig up a editorial subjeckt each week. Some times it is turrible mental struggle and other times 1t is almost impos- sible.
 Our subsckribers seem to have a idea that it aint no effort at all for
 us to write editorial-our subsc- kribers probly gets this idea because when they read the Bugle editorials
 the words flows along so smooth and the editorial is so plain even to a person almost defshient in human intelleckt that, therefore, because they are easy to read and under stand they are easy for us to write.
 The readers of the Bugle don't seem to approximate what "a awful responsibility it is to write editorial opinions for a vast number of sub sckribers who aint got no opinions of their own-they don't seem to understand what important place the editor of the Bugle fills in this world when he sets down on legged orffice chair and with no other tools exsept a bottle of ink, a rusty pen, few sheets of paper and a massive brain molds publick opinion into whatever shape he wants to mold it and turns the tide of publick sentiment from one di- reckshion into the other by a few strokes of the pen.
 Sometimes our subsckribers don't agree with our editorial opinion but that is their folt not ours-that is because they are defshient in intel leckt and cant grab as deep into the current topicks of the day as we can. A Bugle subsckriber ort to hesitate a long time before disa- greeing with our editorial opinion he ort to post hisself up on what we have wrote about instead of setting his own opinion up against ours and

ANCIENT SURVEYORS.
Their Methods Depicted on the Old
Tombs of Egypt.

In an address delivered before the
Royal Geographical society Captain
II. G.. Lyons, director general Of the
survey department of Egypt, told Of
the work Of ancient Egyptian survey
ors. AT every period of ancient
Egyptian history" lie said, "the land
was measured and recorded with con-
siderable accuracy. Property was
dealt in regularly, and an elaborate
system Of registration was maintain
ed No map of landed property in
ancient Egypt has come down to us,
but on the tomb walls we meet with
representations of land mcaSurcrS at
work. Their methods Of land meas
uroment are represented on the walls
of the tomb of one Menna at Shcik
Add ell Qurna, In ThebeS, a land over
seer and inspector Of the boundary
stones Of Anon.
"In the scene depicted are shown
two chainmCn measuring a field OF
corn with a long cord, on which are
knots or marks at intervals which
seem to be about four or five cubitS
in length. Each also carries a spare
cord coilcd upon his arm. Beside them
walk three officials, who carry writ
ing materials and who are accompa-
MED by small boy carrying writing
materials and a bag In which are
probably documents and plans refer
ring to the property. An old man and
two boys also accompany the survey
orS, and a peasant brings a loaf of
bread and n bunch of green corn.
"a similar scene is pictured on the
walls Of tomb belonging TO GER
tain Amenhotep, also at Shcik Add ell
Qurna. Here only one man accom-
panies the chainmen, each of whom,
as usual, carries spare cord. The
figures are larger than In the tomb Of
