London, sought out and visited the

pressed by the fact that memories of
Dickens were still vivid In the minds
of the people. A little printer boy
showed him where Dickens earned six

where Dickens dropped stealthily one
evening, with fear and trembling, Into

He was especially pleased with his
visit to the house where Dickens went
to board after his marriage. OF this

BLAckBIRD REDEEMs ITSELF
Proved to Be Deadly Enemy Of Pesti-
ferrous Webworm, soourGe Of
sugar~Reet Farms.

Wellington. Col.-The; lowiy black
bird has redeemed himself after long
years of derision and contempt graz,
tuitously heaped upon him by migrate
full man in all countries and IN Al
ages. He has proved himself the
Nemesis of the webworm.
While the agricultural college ex-.
perts are seeking some method of ex-i
termination or at least holding In
check the destroyers of the sugar beet,
the pestiferous webworm. g. F. Os-.
born, field superintendent of the Great
Western Sugar company in the Well
ington district, tells of the work ofsA
large flock of blackbirds which seems
to sound the death knell of the beet
pest.
One day last week about ten acres
Of an eighty-acre farm Of beets be-
longing to c. o. Culver, south Of Well
ington, was attacked by vast horde
Of webworms. 1t is we'll known that
II left unchecked they will completely
destroy a field of beets In from Q
week to ten days.
Mr.. Culver was watching the speedy
destruction OF his crop with no chance
Of heading 1t of. Early Sunday morn
Ing the heavens we're darkened by the
fight of vast flock Of blackbirds,
which circled around a couple OF times
and settled down on the field where
the webworms were enjoying the first
banquet of their short young lives. :,
The tale is almost told The black
birds remained industriously at work
all that day and return to the feast
the next day with just as ravenous ap-
petites for the succulent webworms as
on the previous day. In forty-eights
hours the field was cleaned Of worms,
and now the beets are growing vigor
ously.

Famous London Church.

The Church of st. olave'e. in Hart
street. London, is one Of the. eight
that escaped the great fire of 1866, as
well as one Of the most ancient Of
London. 1t is small building with
a tower that is surmounted by vano
in the form Of a crown, which is said
to commemorate Queen Elizabeth's
visit In 1854 to give thanks for her
release from Imprisonment In the
Tower of London, and made a present
Of silken ropes for the bells. One of
the most interesting associations Is
the fact Of its being the burial place
of the great diarist, Samuel Pepys.

DIED.
On Thursday last. in the 10Th year of
her age. Mrs. Frances Davenport,
relict of the late Maj. Abraham Dav-
export, of this county. The deceased
enjoyed during her long life. large
share Of good health, but was afflicted
for more than twelve months preced-
ing her demise. During the last six
months, her sutferings were severe and
continued, and she was greatly reduced
before her hale and vigorous constitu-
tion yielded to the enervating grasp of
the stern messenger. Her memory is
embalmed in the hearts of her relatives
and friends; and the hold which she
had upon the affections of her decen-
dants, was strongly evinced in the I'M
renting solicitude and vigilance with
which they watched her wants, and
soothed her expiring moments.

thing
Alexander the Great was being shown
the Gordian Knot. stIt can't be I'M
tied, Z they told him; every man who
tried to do so failed
But Alexander was not discouraged
because the rest had fl mixed. He sim
ply realized that he would have to go
at it in different way. And instead
of wasting time with his fingers, he
drew his sword and slashed it apart.
Every day great business general is
shown some knot which has proved too
much for his competitors, and he sue
ceeds, because he finds way to cut it.
The fumbler has no show so long as
there is brother merchant who doesn' t
waste time trying to accomplish the
impossible -who takes lessons from the
failures about him and avoids the
methods which were their downfall.
The knottiest problems in trade are !:
1.-The problem of location.
2-The problem Of getting the crowds
3-The problem of keeping the crowds
1.-The problem of minimizing fixed
expences.
5-The problem of creating a valuable
good will
None Of these knots is going to be
united by fumbling fingers. They are
too complicated. They're all inextric
ably involved-so twisted and entangled
that they can't be solved singly-like
the Gordian knot they must be cut
through at one stroke. And you can't

Advertising is breeding new giants
every year and making them more
ever hour. Publicity is the
sustaining food of a powerful store
and the only Strengthening nourishment
for a weak one. The retailer who de-
lays his entry into advertising must
pay the penalty of his procrastination
by facing more giant competitors as
each month OF. opportunity slips by.
Personal ability as close purchaser
and as a clever seller, doesn't count

equally well posted and wear the sword
of publicity5to boot. They are able to
tie your business into constantly closer
knots, while you cannot retaliate, be-
cause their is no knot which their ad-
vertising cannot cut for them.
Yesterday you lost customer-today
they took one tomorrow they'll get
another. You cannot cope with their
competition because you haven't the
weapon with which to oppose it. You
can't unite your Gordian knot because
it can't be untied-you We got to cut it.
