A TRYING WINTER FOR GAME BIRDS.

This has been q trying winter
thus far for game birds. particular

of every true sportsman, a sturdy,
gallant little fellow, we'll able to
take care of himself when his nat
ural food supply is available. But
there have been heavy snowfalls
and intensely cold weather in Mary
land, Virginia and West Virginia.
and unless Bob Whites" friends
among the farmers and sportsmen
provide food for him while the
fields are covered with snow many
birds of his tribe will perish. 1t is
not an uncommon thing in the Sc
verest winter weather to come
across a covey of these birds stiff
in death, the victims Of cold and
hunger. Many birds would be
saved if grain were scattered near
their feeding places, and it is to be
hoped that this kindly care of one
of our finest game birds has not
been neglected in Maryland and
the Virginias. Of late years there
has seemed to be a diminution in
the number of partridges, even in
places where they were once album
dant and in states in which the
game laws are enforced and the
shipment of game from the states
| is prohibited. 1t would be regret
table, indeed, if there should be a
further diminution because of the
failure of Bob Whites" friends to
feed him in the hour of his necessi-

saw something that awakened par
ticular train Of thought in channels
unused since his student days.
Directly opposite him two men were
finishing their midday meal. One, a
sprucely dressed chap, slipped his last
drop of coffee, placed a dime on the
table in front Of his empty cup and
walked out The other, equally well
dressed took a little longer time over
his coffee before preparing to go.
Then Just as he was about to rise he
furtively passed his hand over to the
dime in front of his former neighbours
plate and moved it to position in
front of his own. He then walked
hastily out. The waiter a moment
later picked up the dime, noting be-
fore whose plate it was, and cleaned
away the dishes, mumbling the while.

WHEN TO ADVERTISE

There is nothing on earth so mys.
teriously funny as an advertise.
ment, says the Chagrin Falls CO.,
Exponent. The prime first and last
and all the time object of an adj
vertisement is to draw customers
1t is not and never will be designed
for any other purpose. So the
merchant waits till the busy sea-
son comes and his store is so full
of customers and he can't get his
hat off, then he rushes to the print
err and goes in for advertising.
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 what some of them do, but
occasionally some level headed
merchant does more of it and
scoops in all the business, while his
neighbor makes mortgages to pay
the gas bill. There are times when
you couldn't stop people from buy
ing everything in the store if you
planted cannon behind the door,
and that's the time the advertise
ment is sent out on its holy mis-
sion. 1t makes light work for ad-
vertising, for chalk sign on the
sidewalk could do all that was
needed and a half holiday six days
in week. But who wants to favor
an advertisement? They are built
to do hard work and should be sent
out in dull days, when q customer
has to be knocked down with hard
facts and kicked insensible with
bankrupt reductions and dragged
in with irresistible slaughter of
prices before he will spend a cent.
That's the end'and aim of adver-
Using, and if you ever open store
don't try to get people to come
when they are already sticking out
)t the windows, but give them your
advertisement right between the
eyes in dull season, and you will
wax rich and own a fast horse and |
perhaps be able to smoke a cigar
moe or twice a year. Write this
