A REPORTERS JOB.

Francis ]. Tietsort is a reporter
who has done an unusual thing.
FREQ from his job because an inter.
view he turned in was pronounced
a fake by the man alleged to have
given 1t, he has sued the man for
damages and undertaken to prove
not only that the man said for publ.
cation what Tietsort said he said, but
also that the reason why the inter.
view was rcpudiated was because the
mans employer feared the interview
would cause business loss. says the
Quincy Herald.
The psychological effect Of type is
queer. Many fellow has been as
chesty as could be until he saw his
words reported in cold type. Then, OF
a sudden, the temperature drops,
frost accumulates around his feet
and, the next thing we know, the
meek and humble reporter Is brand
ed as a liar.
Reporters have made mistakes. OF
course: for they're Only human. Not
many Of them write untruths, how
ever, for it's too risky. Even If they
lad M scruples; even il they were
as hard TO rail down as the slippery
chaps wi, try to fool them, they'd be
forced to favor the truth by the ne
cessities Of their job.
We're glad one reporter has the
means and the nerve to refuse to be
tina goat.

Oil Treatment for
Stomach Troubles

A simple prescription made up Of a
combination of pure vegetable oils is
producing wonderful results for suf-
ferers from stomach, liver and intestinal
troubles. The remedy, which is said
to have originated in France, where it
has been used for years by the peasantry,
was introduced into this country BY
George H. Mayr, a leading Chicago
druggist, who cured himself of severe
stomach, liver and intestinal troubles by
its use Those who have used it say the
first dose is sufficient to convince any
one of its remarkable merit, and that
within twenty-four hours the sufferer
feels like new person. This medicine,
which has become known as Mayr's
Wonderful Remedy, is sold by leading
druggists everywhere with the positive
understanding that your money will be
refunded without question or bubble if
ONE bottle fails to give you absolute
satisfaction

A Wonderful Dream Come True.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: Late on the
afternoon Of June 2, 1875, young
man sitting in little dusty work
shop in Boston picked a strange look
ing instrument from his desk. placed
it near his mouth and said. Come
here, Watson. / want you
The man, Thomas A. Watson. was
just sixty feet away, with another
strange instrument at his ear, and he
had heard the first words ever spoken
over a wire. The sender Of the mes.
sage was Alexander Graham Bell.
Day before yesterday Alexander
Graham Bell sat in an Office i'll New
York City and talked with Thomas A.
Watson, who sat in an ofiice in San
Francisco. Mr.. Bell uttered and Mr..
Watson heard the first verbal mes
sage ever delivered across the contf
nent by wire. The length of the wire
over which the message was sent was
more than $500 miles. For those two
men, who hello their first conversation
over sixty feet OF wire almost forty
years ago, wonderful dream had
come true DR.. Bell was the inventor
of the first telephone ever used. Mr..
Watson was his electrical at the
time and aided in installing the orig
inal apparatus.
Today more than twenty-one mil
lions of miles of wire in the United
States connects nine millions Of teLs-
phones in 10000 towns. villages and
cities All the rest Of the world has
hut five millions Of telephones In
1876 the LONGEST telephone wire in
the world stretched from Boston to
Cambridge and was two miles in
length.

MiD-w,NTER ADVERTISING.

January ana FeDruary are q peTlOu
when the public looks through the
newspaper advertising with keen at
tention, says the Quincy Journal.
A great many people have formed
a regular habit of delaying purchases
until this time Of year. They know
that most merchants will give un-
usually good bargains in mid-winter.
to save carrying goods over until an
other year. A merchant that does not
get into line and tell the public
through the newspapers what he is
doing at this time Of year will find
his trade very slack. But simple
statement of the good values that can
now be found in almost any enter
prising store will be read with eager
interest. The store will find that It
is doing an excellent business even
at a dull period.
Goods can't be moved unless the
public is told about them A Gus
toner may go by the store every day
in the week. But IL she does not know
that inside back on those shelves Is
just the bargain that would appeal to

in Jerico. She goes home, picks up
the newspaper, reads about the spe-
cial value offered in some other store,
and on her next trip hunts out the
place that had the enterprise to seek
her patronage.
The merchant who does not adver-
tise pays high price for the money
saved. Goods grow more unseason-
able the longer they stay in a store.
The proprietor is getting no profit on
them to pay his fixed charges, Rent,
interest, taxes, light, and heat, and
clerk hire expenses are running al
most every day, and must be paid.
The only way to pay them is to keep
the goods moving.
Goods held over until another sea-
son are apt to become so shop-worn
or out Of style that they have to be
sold for a song. Goods well advertised
and sold during the season for which
they are bought go at fairly gooT
price. and help the merchant close

Bell a dreamer of the most rabid sort.
They shook their heads and mumbled
among themselves when he explained
his plans-but DR.. Bell went on with
his dreaming. Had the man Of gem
