for Mere Man.

Meeker, Colorado.-A suit for d.
vorce, brought by woman here,
heard by a woman Judge, prosecuted
and defended by women attorneys,
and lastly decided by a jury of IL
women, resulted in a victory for the
husband. The feminine jury, without
leaving the box, returned the verdict
denying Mrs Hiram e. Peck a divorce.
Cruelty and failure to properly sup
ply her financial needs were the al
legations made by Mrs. Peck.
Attorney Hazel Clark represented
the plaintiff and Attorney Eva Skin
ner defended Mr.. Peck Judge Mar
guerite Harp occupied the bench. The
clerk of the court was Miss Dorothy
Smith, all residents here.
Mrs. Peck, who is a large woman,
in her testimony asserted that Peck
who is very small man-violently
assaulted her with a deadly weapon
following her request to him for a
small amount of money, and finished
the job by cruelty dragging her around
the room by her hair.
Cross-eXamination brought out the
interesting information that Mrs.
Peck had been nominated for office
by one Of the political parties and had
demanded 500 from Peck for cam.
paign expenses; that Peck, owing to
temporary financial embarrassment,
had been unable to furnish the money;
and that Mrs. Peck then proceeded to
pound 1t out" of him.
In the melee, Peck grabbed feath-
er buster, and with this deadly weap.
on succeeded in striking his militant

THE BEATEN TRACK
Copyright 1912 by Geo. Z. Patterson

The definite purpose Of advertising is to bring the buyer and
seller together with a view to the consummaton of a deal whereby
each parts with somethins-the n with money o its equivalent and
the other with son commodity. The aim is to sell. Advertising may
sell the goods outright OF it may interest and lead to personal inquiry
which In turn may result in a SALE. II the advertising leads to personal
inquiry good craftsmanship will perhaps close the DEAL. Too much
must not be expected from advertising alone. What good would ad-
vertsins do a business with poor goods and dummy statesmen? That
is poor merchandising. But good merchandising and good advertising
combined is a sur winner, and is more valuable than bank stock.
The merchant who handles a good quality Of goods, has a good selling
force, and through judicious advertising in his local paper procIaims
the merits Of his goods, seldom meets with disappointment In his bust
mes He conducts his business a little bit better than his neighbor.
And Emerson referred to the merchant as we'll al anyone else when
he said" II a a can write a better book, preach a better sermon. or
make a better mousetrap than his neghbor, though he build his house
in the woods, the world will mako a beaten track to his door," The
beaten track will follow In the wake of good advertising and good
merchandising. It always has a any merchant prince will certify.
