Compulsory Aduertising.

Practically every newspaper in Mich
igan is interested in the bill introduced
by Senator Kline of the Lenawee-
Monroe district. The bill, if passed
will make it compulsory for railroads
to publish their cards in the papers of
the cities and towns through which
their respective lines pass. Dailies
will receive $50 year per folio and
weeklies half the amount. Judging by
the number of letters Senator Kline is
receiving from the publishers of the
state, and especially the country ed,-
tors, the newspapers have started a
campaign to line up their respective
legislators to vote for the bill which
was referred to the railroad committee
of which Senator Bates of Allegan is
chairman.

4 Newspaper I'D.

"a merchant in one of the large
eastern cities" says an advertisers
magazine, composed circular letter
that looked to him like trade winner.
He mailed 10000 copies of it to select
list of names at an expense of $3.50.
The net profit on the resulting orders
was $27 80. He showed the letter and
the results to an acquaintance in an
other line of business, who persuaded
him to print the same letter word for
word, in local newspaper. The news
paper 'ad.' cost $24. The profits on
the sales directly attributed to it with.
in three days were 1862. so. with mail
orders still coming in at the end of that
time. What is the moral?" There
are several. The most obvious moral
is that the live newspaper carries
business announcements at a much
cheaper rate and with much greater
certainty of effective delivery than
Uncle Sam.

RECOGNIZED THE LINE.

Two girls were talking over the
phone one afternoon, the subject of
the conversation being lawn party to
take place the following day. Both
were discussing what they should wear,
and after five minutes had come to no
decision.
Right in the midst of this i'm
portant' conversation masculine
voice interrupted, asking humbly what
number he had. A stern reply that
the wire was busy did not successfully
squelch the inquirer, for he asked again
for the number One of the girls now
became indignant and with supreme
scorn asked: what line do you think
you are on, anyhow"
"Well," said the man, I'm not
sure, but judging from what I've heard
should say was on clothes line. =

SHE KNEW THE PLACE.
An elderly matron travelling with a
number of bundles, who was journey

had fallen asleep. On the seat in front
of her sat little boy. The brakeman
opened the door of the car and called
out the name of the station the train
was approaching. The elderly lady
reused herself with jerk.

the little boy.
