PAYS 10 ADVERTISE.

That the columns Of the Bisbee Re view are read and that it pays to advertise in them was evidenced by the fact that yesterday there appeared among the theatrical notices an item that stated that there would be a free performance at the Central theatre in Lowell for the benefit of the children Of the Warren District at ten o'clock. Long before that hour there were hundreds of children wait ing for a chance to get into the build ing. When the doors were opened there was a big rush and the theatre was filled to over-howing. The s. o. s. sign was hung up but that did not do any good. they still crowded in. The notice appeared only in the Review and was on the inside pages, which ,shows that the Review is read and that it pays to advertise in its col umns.
