THE TIME TO ADVERTISE.

There's nothing on earth so mystic
riously funny as an advertisement.
The prime, first and last, and all-the-
time object of an advertisement is
to draw custom. 1t is not and never
will be, designed for any other pur-
pose. So the merchant waits until
the busy season comes and his store
is so full of customers that he can't
get his hat off, and then he rushes to
his printer and goes In for advertis-
ing. When the dull season gets along
and there is no trade and he wants
to sell his goods so bad he can't pay
his rent, he stops advertising. That,
is, some ole, but occasionally level
header merchant does more for it,
and scoops in all the business, while
his neighbors are struggling to make
ends meet. There are times when
you couldn't stop people from buying
everything In the store II you planted
q cannon behind the door, and that's
the time when the advertisement Is
sent out on It's holy mission 1t
makes light work for advertising, for
q chalk sign on the sidewalk could
do all that was needed, and half
holiday six days In week. Adver.
tisements are built to do hard work,
and should be sent out in dull days,
when a customer has to be knocked
down with hard facts. and kicked In
sensible with bankrupt reductions, and
dragged In with irresistible slaughter
OF prices, before he will spend a cent
That's the end and aim Of advertis-
ing and il ever you open store,
don't try to get them to come when
they are already sticking out Of the
windows, but give them your adver-
tisement right between the eyes In a
dun season, and you will wax rich
and own fast horse and perhaps be
able to- smoke cigar once or twice
q year. Write this down where you'll
| fall all over 1t every day. The time
to draw business is when you want
business, and not when you have
more business than you can tend to
already. Rue to- News.

a young man who, without ever hay-

the strain of an intellectual career,
has been graduated heavily in debt,
and has sacrificed what little health
and constitution he had for college
course. No one told him that, even If
he should obtain his degree, he would
be totally untitled to excel in intel
lectual pursuits, and would be DOOM

thought that IL he could only get
through college. even If he were brok

his energies scattered, and SO the
youth who might have become a use

staggers under his load of pecuniary
obligation, i'll health, and unsatisfied
ambition, until death relieves him of
his misery. There are many such
