BOSTON, Mass. Sept. Miss Minna Twombley Jones, the Boston society girl who tilted Captain Ar thur Kamler of the Austrian nobil-

 an international sensation, today be came the bride of Alexander B. Mar win, former we'll knnwn New York

 The bride is the daughter of the late Mir. and Mrs. Frank w. Jones, who were well known socially in Bos ton, New York and Newport. Through her uncle, the late Hamilton K. Nc Twombley, she is related to the Van derbilts. Since the death of her mother in Norway four years ago she has resided with her sister in Cambridge. where today's wedding took place.
 It was six years ago, while travel ing in Europe with her mother, that Miss Jones then an impressionable girl not quite out of her teens. was fascinated at Carlsbad by the dashing Captain Arthur Kamier, Baron von Saarberg. The captain proved an ardent wooer and within few months after their first meeting the of the couple was an nounced. The young girl and her mother returned home and shortly afterward Captain Kamler arrived to claim his bride. The latter however. found that, in American surroundings,

 While Ennis was passing Mesquite and Deve-eaux streets, on the way to his room, whitelow, who had been waiting on the corner for some time, drew a revolver from beneath a newspaper which he carried and attempted to fire at his intended vic tim.
 Realizing his danger, Ennis leaped toward his assailant and grabbing his gun hand, forced the point of the weapon toward the ground. The re volver was discharged and a pebble was thrown in Ennis face, but he es- capped any further injury. Whitelow was soon overpowered and disarmed after which he was locked up in the county jail, to await the filing of a formal charge against him.
 1t is claimed by a number Of resi- dents of this city who have known Whitelow for some time, that he has apparently been mentally unbal- anced for some time, as the result O. excessive alcoholism. It Is said that there was no cause for what was ap- parently a cold blooded attempt at murder, and Whitelow himself could give no reason for his act, when questioned after having been locked up, except to state that it was the result of overindulgence in liquors.

Invite them to go into partnership with you on a profit-sharing deal in groceries. Get into the game. Disseminate a few volts of thought electricity into the community. That's what advertising is for. The trouble with the average small city is that everyone is in danger of getting into the ruts, and that's why many of them are doing business on small scale in a small town, while men with no more brains but with more activity. are piling up fortunes in the cities. It's like the story of the theatrical advance agent who visited a small town. He got into an argu- ment with one of the villagers, and the latter sneered at him:
 Huh, You look like Jew to me. You won't do much business here. There ain't no Jews ip this village"

with one or two delivery wagons. But his contemporary in the large city would have to spend a small fortune to reach the public. on account of the number of newspapers and then he would be restricted to doing business with about onetenth or less of the people who are reached by his ads. That is the reason the small stores are so small and the big ones so big in the larger cities. The best the small man can expect is a good share of the neighborhood business In his immediate vicinity. The big stores can, and do advertise extensively, the telephone is handy, and the woman
 who lives next door to the grocery in the suburbs is just as likely as
 not to buy her supplies over the
 phone from the man who advertises,

more This is right, as far as it goes, but it goes only very short distance. If you just stick your name in the paper. and tell how
 good your stock is and how low your prices are. nobody is go- ing to take that as a reason Tor doing business with you. And also. it may be true that every person in the city knows the location of your store, and that's just the trou- ble. They take you for granted They look upon you about the same as they do the city hall and taxes just another necessary evil. But suppose you jolt yourself out of the rut. write a live ad., throw little energy into the copy. and let the people know. not merely that you are at a certain location but that you are alive.

 Use big city methods in the small city and the public will respond. If you do not feel equal to an adver- Using campaign of your own devising, try someone else's ideas, but the failure of the average grocer in the small town to advertise is a pretty sure sign that his business never will grow beyond its present propor- tions, and the chances are ten to one that it will shrink.
 And right here is where the grocer in the small city has an advantage over a grocer with business of about the same proportions in large city. The small man can advertise in one paper, or two at the outside and reach everybody. And the size of the city will enable him to do business with everyone in that citv

There are some principles of ad- vertising which are so simple, so ancient so generally accepted and so trite, that it seems almost a waste of space to go over them. But there are so many merchants who fail to realize the uses of good ad- vertising, that one is justified at times in going back to the primer stage of publicity education. Here for instance. is one of the most ire quent remarks one hears from the grocer in the small city:

MINISTER SAYS l. DESERTED TOI
 IS HIS CHILD
Prominent Carolina Pastor Ad- mits Concocting Scheme to Hide Disgrace-ResignS PaStorate

MOORESyILLE. N. c. Sept. 7.- Rev. J. A. Paisley, prominent in the Presbyterian denomination, and pas tor of the Second church here, ere ated a profound sensation today when he confessed that a beautiful five weeks old girl baby, left on his front porch Monday night by a mys- terious woman. is his own child. Dr. Paisley states further that the plan to leave the baby on his door steps was concocted by himself, and that the mother of the child executed the scheme.
 Immediately after making his con fession to the church leaders. Dr. Paisley's resignation from both church and presbetery was demanded and promptly given.
 He refused to divulge the name of the mother. but 1t is alleged that she was a young woman of Pamplin City, Va.
 Dr. Paisley is married and his wife is an invalid. They have no children. Though prostrated by her husbands deed, she declares she will not desert him, and they will to- gether raise the child.
 A note pinned to the baby's dress committed the child to the minister's care. The episode created a stir, and every effort was bent upon ascertain ing the identity of the strange wo- man. Late last night brother pas tor went to Dr. Paisley and boldly stated that the matter looked rather suspicious, whereupon the minister broke down and confessed the whole affair, the public confession to the church leaders coming this morning.
 Dr. Paisley came to Mooresviiie from Pamplin City, Va. three months ago. He is considered one of the ablest young ministers in the South. ern Presbyterian church.

First.-ThOu shalt plow deep.
Deep blowing permits rain to pcne-
