It Certainly Pays to Advertise

J. E. Kerwin of the Audubon Hard
ware Co., informed us yesterday that
he was thoroughly convinced it paid to
advertise. Last week the company adj
vertised special sale in the Republican
on galvanized chicken coops at the
price of 81 90 each for Saturday only.
Before two o'clock on that day, ever
100 had been sold. The supply was ex.
hausted and the sale had to be called
off. Mr. Kerwin said they could have
sold at least 100 more This is positive
proof that the people of Audubon county
read the Republican and that advertising
in its columns bring results.

L-earr to. Write Well,

First legibility, second sightliness,
should be the endeavor in handwriting
and let the character and the "indi-
viduality" take care of themselves If
you wish to devise a signature hard
to forge that is another thing. but
ones everyday handwriting should be
plain and as good looking as one can
make it. The art of writing a neat,
leg1ble, well punctuated, correctly ex-
pressed and spelled letter should be-
long to every high school graduate,
much more to every college graduate.
ana the thanks Of the community are
due to those who are testing and try
ing to improve our methods of educa-
ton; but they must remember that the
letter style is properly more loose and
conversational than any other and
therefore should not be criticised in just
the same way.-Kate Epson Clark in

Fear of Old Military Service.

A prisoners appeal to the court of
criminal appeal for longer sentence,
although the first on record before
that tribunal, is not altogether unpar-
alleled at the assize, for offenders who
have had the advantage Of inside
knowledge Of the working of the pris-
ons acts have been known to ask the
Judge to give them penal servitude in
stead of short period of hard labor.
They shrink from the more Spartan
diet and severer restrictions that at
tach to the nominally lighter sentence.
A century ago, when capital punish
ment was inflicted for many trivial
crimes, prisoner was sometimes Civ
en- a choice-death or service in the
army or navy. And the services in
those days had such terror for some
criminals that many elected to be
hanged instead of serving their coun-
try.-London Spectator,

Father and His DAUGHTERS.

The habits of a lifetime which began
d generation or more ago, the habit of
being source of maintenance and the
need of keeping in hand the means Of
maintenance, the habit Of power and
of keeping hold of the source of power,
may make a man less than fair per-
haps in dividing his acquisitions with
his WIFE but when it comes to the
daughters whom he is going to leave
in the world when he quits it he is all
for securing to them as far as he can
a full share of all that is worth hav-
ing Hardly can sex selfishness squeeze
in between him and his girls. AS be-
tween them and all males, he is for
them. He wants them to lose no good
thing that may lawfully be coming to
them. He wants no man to bully them
no man to impose upon their generosi
ty, no man to bring them to want, to
sorrow or hungry heart-Edward S.
