nishings" he Is only working an over
tired reading public, telling them
something they have known for these
many years.
Another feature is the nonchange of
copy in your advertisement. We came
across a Nebraska paper Il few weeks
ago which announced the fact that
one of the local hardware men had the
best line of lawn mowers, SiclleS and
garden tools of any store in central
Nebraska. Now, the first mentioned
ad. starts off to do that which was
the necessary magnet to bring to Tom
Brown good volume of trade, but
his weakness and lack Of originality
were shown when he did not bear
down on whose goods he handled, so
wording his advertisement as to show
wherein those particular goods were
superior to any other handled in his
town.
The second advertisement had merit
If the advertiser was anticipating next
spring and summer trade However,
we believe that late October is a poor
time to advertise for the following
summer, especially when there are
snow shoyels, coal buckets, stoves and
other winter lines which have been
placed on the shelves for winter sale.
Be original; tell what YOU have 10
sell; tell it right; change copy every
week; you are paying for the space:
it is yours to do with as you want.

MAN AND THE RAT.
The Long Battle Between These Two
Conouerino Forces

Conquering Forces.
The dominion of man over the beasts
of the field does not yet include the
rodents. Aurochs, cave bear and NAM
moth we put down with stone headed
arrows. We have wiped out the buff
falo. The lion and the elephant will
soon be gone. But still the rabbit Of
Australia cost the colonies millions n
year. Traps, ferrets and poison still
fail to make Roadway against the rats,
mice and gOphers of the United States.
While our animal enemies have be-
come smaller In size. they have grown
more numerous. 1t is as If nature
after trying vainly to chastise her i'll
surgent son with cntapult had gone
after him with shotgun.
The fact Is that of all warm blOOded
creatures there are just two that are
really dominant, successful, increasing
in numbers and range and able to
maintain themselves anywhere in the
world against all rivals These two
are man and the rats. The genus
homo and genus mus go everywhere
and eat everything. They are the two
creatures that dwell In houses and
travel in ships. Each drives its other
rivals to the wall, but neither except
locally and for brief periods has ever
come near to DISCRIMINATING the other.
Civilized man has fought the common
rat for 200 years, and the battle Is
still drawn.-McClure's Magazine.

Advertising Pointers That viii Prove
Valuable to Local Merchants.
1t is a lameutable fact that many
merchants who complain because the
mail order houses are killing off their
business are losing their chance to
survive because they don't know how
to advertise. They carry standing aG
vertisemeDts in the local paperS-soms
of them do-which occupy sufficient
space to attract great deal of patron
age if properly filled. But they do
what might be termed label advertis-
ing" They paste Il label like this,
"Hallowell x Harrison, Groceries" on
their newspaper space and let it stick
there.
An advertising expert gives below
some pithy advice which may be of
high value to some merchants, provid-
ed they read and heed:
Advertising without any originality
can only be compared to buying with.
out any knowledge of the wants OF
your trade
Some of the advertising that comes
under our observation is so devoid of
intent and purpose as to make us Won
der why the failures reported from
week to week are not greater than
they are.

A KINGS DOWNFALL.
Louis PhiIppe's Lack of Nerve When
tho Crisis Came.

Baroness Bonde wrote in her diary
the following account of the ahdica-
ton of Louis Philippe of France on the
day Of that remarkable occurrence:
IAN aid-de-camp of the minister of
war who was in the kings cabinet
when he abdicated gave me a detailed
account of this most signal piece of
cowardice. He had reviewed the
troops In the carrousel on horseback.
highly rouged, when a cry was raised.
'Noici les Faubourgsr No one had
any orders; no one gave any. The mob
rushed forward, shouting, 'Vive la
garde atiOnales-vivent les troupes-
and shook hands with the outposts
The king retreated precipitately with
his sons, and a sublieutenant of the
national guard rushed into the palace
asking to see him. He was admitted
and in the greatest agitation said,
Your majesty must abdicate.' Very
WELL says the king. In favor of my
grandson No, unconditionally.' says
the young and self elected mouthpiece
of public opinion.
Would you believe 1t? OF all who
were congregated round the royal per-
son PiscatOry alone said: Go down
and head your troops Fight for your
crown and your dynasty lie was
overruled, and they all marched out
of the palace except the Duchesse
dOrleans, her children and the Due de
Nemours."

in very minute proportions, so small in
fact that no process has yet been de-
vised whereby it can be profitably ex-
tracted, and it is extremely doubtful if
sea water ever will become a COM
mercial source of gold, When it is
considered that the total amount of
gold in all the oceans of the earth IS
very great, it is not surprising that
"gold from sea water" has been used
as pretext for fraud. That gigantic
New England fraud, promoted by a
preacher, who swindled widows and
other unsuspecting people out of their
money, is still green in the memories
of many. A great monument to the
memory of that event was erected in
the shape of immense works at Lubec,
Maine.
The moral to this is, place not your
trust in psendo-scientists, but consult
reputable authority on mining and
geology before investing money in min
ing ventures about which you know
nothing. Mining World.

the feeling of freedom and ease. Look

their eyes met. The street boy sprang
to his feet. he had never seen the en-

and the likeness was striking.
Suppose 1t Is Nicholas?" he said to
himself. greatly puzzled
He resolved to make sure without

of the carriage and bobbing his head.
he shouted In hoarse voice to the
unknown foreigner:

Picture his satisfaction-for. In fact.
he thought that 1t was only a good
joke-when the stranger replied. with
q smile:
"Thank you, the empress Is very
well and is delighted with her jour-

Earth's' Resting Time.

October waves her banners bright
From bush and tree and flower;
And pulsing in the golden light
We feel the subtle power
That drops upon the waiting earth
Its mantle of repose;
The power that thrilled the flowers to
birth
Now lulls them to repose.
On roadside, meadow, far-off hill.
A flaming torch illumes.
The landscape and its radiance thrills
The heart. The waving plumes
Of Goldenrod kiss Aster's cheek
While Gentian fringes show
Rents where coquettish breezes seek
Their homage to bestow.
The pattering feet of squirrels bold
Rustic the falling leaves,
AS pouching cheeks their burdens hold
Of nuts some nest receives.
The North Wind whistles through the
pines
A requiem soft and low,
While Nature sleeps, and mortals fee
The pulse of life beat slow. Helen
