IMAGINATION IN BUSINESS.
A Fresh Application of 1t Now Going on
in the Periodical Trade.


Imagination. as applied in business,
foresees what the public needs and then
makes profit by furnishing it. An in
terestng new case is shown in a general
development now going on in the period
zeal business.
In the past, readers of periodicals
have obtained their copies in one Of two
ways either by mail through a yearly
subscription, or by purchase at a news
stand. The yearly subscription method
is a permanent institution, accommodate
ing both TO publishers and to a large
class OF customers. The new movement
that is taking place is toward the devel-
opment OF the newsstand trade.
Many newsstand dealers will now take
your order for a periodical and deliver
Il to your house each month. In this
manner the customer is saved the trou-
BILE OF going to the stand and carrying
his periodical home. The system tends
to induce the customer to buy more peri
odicals and to buy them much more reg
ularly than does the accidental purchas-
er who drifts from one newsstand to an
other and in stormy weather stays away
entirely. The general results are extern
sion of business and stability.
Newspapers Of course developed the
delivery Of their product to the individ-
ual customer years ago, but dealers in
periodicals have not generally done so.
An occasional dealer may have accomno-
dated an occasional customer by deliver
ing his periodicals, but the movement
has never become general as it now bids
fair to become.--W oman's Home Com

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
Naughty Marietta" Tickets Go on Sale
This Evening.


Naughty Marietta" which will be seen
here at the Barre opera house next
Friday Oct 27, direct from its six
months run az the New York theatre,
New York, was declared by critics to be
the best light opera on the New York
stage last season. The opera will be
presented by Oscar Ilammcrstein, whose
name is guarantee of the best that
money and brains can provide.
Naughty Marietta was written by
Victor Herbert and Rida johnson Young,
who have chosen New Orleans as It was
in the year 1880 for the locale of the
lplay, which, at that time, was rich in
story and legend, but about which little
is known by the average person Of to-
day
The laws and customs, carefully stud
led up by the authors to get correct local
color for their work, have permitted the
introduction of many new and novel
songs, dances and business and fur
nished scenic artists with rich material
None of the opportunities have been
neglected, so it is said, and the result is
one OF the best musical, costume and
scenic comic operas on the stage to-
day.
The story concerns the adventures Of
the Countessa Marietta DAltena, an
Italian maiden Of noble lineage, who,
rather than remain as pupil in a
Partisan convent and submit to an OBJ
iectionablc marriage which her parents
have arranged for her. disguises herself
as a casquette girl and is sent to New
Orleans at the command of the king of
France to become the wife Of a French
colonist On arrival, she dsdains all
matrimonial advances made to her by
him and the other rough settlers and
falls in love with Captain Richard War
rington, a forest ranger and woman.

The Division of Agricultural Exten-
sion recently sent out list OF ques-
tions to live stock shippers in various
regions of Minnesota; and among the
questions was the following: rs the
live stock in your locality fed long
enough to bring satisfactory prices?'
It is surprising to find that nearly 100
per cent of the replies state that cat
tie are not fed long enough to bring
satisfactory prices. Let us ask our
selves what such a statement means.
