The boy who has the freedom of the streets after
nightfall. without business permission, is cult
waiting very dangerous habit. Any
YES place where boy has business is a
very dangerous place for him whether it
is on the street, in the store or elsewhere. boy
that is all right likes his home, friends books and
newspapers in preference to the class found the
streets. without business. Business men of all
kinds look upon the boy loafer dead beat of
future.
With the beginning of the fall trade peeping out,
our business men should sit up and take notice.
There is no use expecting the
CATCH ON residents of this section to go
around with a microscope trying
to find out whether this that is sold in our town.
The only plan that will work is to keep everlasting
ly telling them what you have on hand. That is
the way the up-to-date merchants get their trade
Tkere is no reason why the people of this vicinity
should be expected to adopt different method in
gard to trading than other places. Tell them what
you have let them know what it costs, shows
them you can save them time and money by buy
ing from you and then they will to your
store and not carry home mail order catalogues.
There are hundreds-yes thousands-of people
within short distance of your place who scarcely
suspect what there is for sale in your
JUST SO store. Let them know where you
are Invite them to your store.
Tell them through The Dawn about your bargains.
Show them that you want their trade just much
as is wanted by the out of town merchants and
little more, by the way-and they will begin COM
ing to you. But if you sit down and expect them
to hunt you up, you going to be very sadly
disappointed.

dashed along Second avenue, where
his mad fight was interrupted by a
policeman who took the half-cra ed
man to headquarters. Here he was
placed in a cell and a physician sum-

the creation of a new peerage cannot
be altered. Otherwise Lord Gierawly

FIRST SLOT MACHINE.
It Was Invented by Hero of Alexandria
About 1875 3. C.

About 1875 3. C.
Hero of Alexandria about 125 B. c.
was an ingenious inventor of mechan.
ical toys. In his works. "Pneumatics"
and ''Automata." he describes some
hundred small machines that he prob
ably never carried beyond the model"
stage
These included a steam engine and
double forcing pump to be used as a
FIRE engine.
Hero was also the inventor of the
automatic delivery. or penny in the slot
machine. He describes "a sacrificial
vessel which flows only when money
is introduced"
When the coin is dropped through
the slit it falls on one end of a bal
anced horizontal lever. which being
depressed opens a valve suspended
from a chain at the other end, and the
water begins to flow.
When the lever has been depressed
to certain angle the coin falls off and
the valve, being weighted. returns to
its seat and cuts off the supply. The
mechanism is practically identical
with the present system. - Baltimore

Maiden Insurance.

The Maiden Insurance company Is a
singular Denmark institution. 1t is
confined to the nobility, and the noble
man, as soon as female child is born
to him, enrolls her name on the com
pany's books and pays in a certain
sum and thereafter a fixed annual
amount to the treasury. When the
young girl has reached the age OF
twenty-one she is entitled to a fixed
income and to an elegant suit of apart
ments, and this income and this resi-
dence, both almost princely, are hers
until she either marries or dies. The
society has existed for generations. /;
has always prospered. Thanks to it.
poverty stricken old maids are IN
known among the Denmark nobility
but every maiden lady is rich and
happy.
