The Way To Look At 1t.

Don't make the mistake of weighing advertising
by what it costs. 1t is impossible to pay too much
for advertisng-h it pays. Nothing is cheaper
returns. Nothing is more expensive than cheap
advertising that brings no results If a newspaper
charges you so cents line, and every line brings
you dollar profit, you have got regular Kondike.
If a newspaper charges you so cents square foot
and you never heard from it, you pouring money
into rat hole. Advertising is merchandise Buy
the kind you can make profit on, no matter what
il costs. Have nothing to do with the Improbable
kind no matter how low the price is

flexible that a slight breath OF air will
bend them. Yet with this remarkable
instrument it's owner can bore three
or four inches into the hardest wood

Simplicity Of la Fontains.
Apropos of the simple. philosophical
la Fontaine ! either read or heard a
touching trait OF his simplicity. He
was wise enough to despise money and
spent all he had from not knowing it's
value or caring for It's production.
when reduced to nothing he lived with
a friend who loved him and supplied
the very few wants he had. This
friend died. One who had known Ia
Fontaine at his house Immediately
went TO invite him to come and live
with him. He met In Fontaine on the
road to his chateau. and upon hearing
the invitation the poet replied. "J'y
allais" CT was going there'D. The mai
vete Of his reply is very striking. From
