You Can DriDk This Famous
Coffee at Midnighs
It's the Wonderful Old Secret Blent

Even a hundred years ago French
Market Coffee was a favorite drink
at all hours.
For generations it was known as
> the midnight drink of New Orleans
Society. Because of it's delightful
aroma and favor, as well as the fact
that it can be partaken of freely with,
out harm, French Market Coffee is to
be compared only with the best Turk
ish and European coffees.
This wonderful goodness is due to
the famous old secret blend, which
for century has made French Mar
ket Coffee the one choice of discrim-
mating coffee drinkers. Many have
tried to initiate this famous blend
but the secret is still a secret.
In former days you could get
French Market Coffee at only one
place-the Old French Market at New
Orleans, from which it was named.
Now it is sold ct your own nearby
grocery.
Send 10c for 12-cup sample and
booklet of the story of Old French
Market. We will also send names of
grocers in your town who sell French
Market Coffee. l lb. cans, Csc; 4 lib.

half-explanatory, half-apologetic, he
said, "You see, | used to live there"
Someone went through the pile of
exchanges, and found the paper he
sought, the Kirksboro Sun, just an or
binary country weekly, full of bad type,
and badly written news. The visitors
thanks were more profuse for this
paper than for all the others, and he
went out.
That little country paper was the
last tie that held a wandering casual
laborer to a place he once called home.
Relatives and friends who once lived
there had gone, or disowned him as
worthless, and a failure. But the old
weekly, with it's neighborhood gossip
of marriages, deaths, births, crops and
sickness, brought him back again to
memories of the old town. Some day,
the little weekly may draw him home.
He will make a new start, and the days
of his wandering will be past.-The
Emporia Gazette.

JUST AS GOOD"

A wild eyed and disheveled man
rushed, breathless, into a hardware
store and said. in menacing and eXcit-
ed tones, to the salesman behind the
counter:
"Quick-twenty-fve cents worth of
carbolic acid"
The salesman was staggered for a
moment; then, like the good salesman
he was, he recovered his poise.
This isn't a drug store. This is a
hardware store"
AS the man was about to depart, the
clerk spoke up %bravely:
Il am sorry we haven't any carbolic
acid-but we have a fine line Of rope,
razors and ]revolvers, if they will suit
your purpose as well."-EX.

having perishable goods in Easements,
near the intersection of Main avenue
and Williams street, to get ready to
nov them in & hurry in case of a
sudden thaw. There is enough snow
on the ground to make three or four
inches of water and owing to the con-
dition of the cutters and the storm
sewer a general thaw would release so
much water that it would naturally
back up and food things worse than a
heavy rainfall. People are beginning
to wonder what will happen to pedes-
TRANS when the deep channels along
the sidewalks become filled with water
and cannot get past the beaten paths
at the street crossings. 1t is to be
hoped that the snow shall go off grad
ually so as not TO destroy property or
cause US to wade knee deep in water
along some of our sidewalks.
Sometimes we hear regrets that our
young men do not take more interest
in city and county affairs. The aver
age boy just verging into manhood has
very little concern for some of the
practical questions of the day and
seems to know or care very little about
municipal affairs. The reason for this
is plain, He is not given a chance TO
inform himself on such matters even
if he had the ambition. 1t has been
suggested that our Commercial Club
might have an open meeting for boys
once in a while and have some prac-
teal talks on municipal subjects and
try to get youth interested in civic
matters. In a few years they are to
take the places of those who are now
active in community affairs and it is
well to give them encouragement in
informing themselves in regard to the
responsibilities of citizenship.

of line and 300, 900 men. The demands
are in the form of an ultimatum. The
officers of the brotherhoods have ben
quoted as saying that they will refuse
to submit their demands to arbitration
and that unless the increase is granted
a general strike of the enginemen and
trainmen will be called. If such de-
mands were granted it would meal an
increase in freight rates and the pub
lie would in turn carry the burden. If
a general strike is called it will para
lyze the entire nation. The fact that
so many of the railways have been
passing through costly receivership
and reorganization and in view Of the
fact that few are making any money
il seems the railroads will be up
against a stone wall. Strikes are look
ed upon with considerable disfavor
now by a large per Cent of the people
of this country, The history of indus
trial strikes in this country does not
record a marked victory for the strik-
ers but in many instances the indiyid-
uals who walked Il were branded as
strikers and refused employment. The
strike is a losing game. No individual
should be told that he shall not quit
his position but general walk-outs
affecting the country, as would a ma
tion-wide strike, should be forbidden
and its ]instigators punished. If such
a strike as the one now contemplated
should occur it would mean govern.
ment ownership Of the railways, and
such ownership would mean an econ
omic redistribution of freight and pas
senger rates which would undoubtedly
cause a reduction even in the present
wages paid to all railway employees.

If You Only Knew the Labor
That Goes Into Every"Ad,"
You Would Never Skip
Another One
BY J. r. HAMILTON
Former Advertising Manager of Wanamaker's, Philadelphia

Every little three-ine item you read has turned the wheels Of
some great factory. Every time you see a cut price the number Of
gray hairs in the world has been increased.
Many an advertisement is planned a year before it ever finds
it's way into print. One advertisement in Philadelphia a few
years ago opened up the copper mines in Colorado six months
before it ever appeared. A thousand miners began digging cop.
per on a contract of brass beds that were going to be made that
were going to be advertised.
You see perhaps some piece of muslin wear advertised here
whose trimming is pretty, or some gown whose design is elegant.
The chances are that a hundred styles were discarded or changed
to get this one for you. And all the while the buyer of your
favorite store was picking and choosing he had you in mind.
He was building the advertisement that would catch your eye
and please your fancy and your ~pocketbook.
If you had been there you would have heard him telling the
manufactures, "My customers are particular. They must have
the best that there is at the lowest price that can be made. You've
got to give me something better than you give to anyone else"
Every one of these buyers is fighting for you, and it is up
to you to show your loyalty to them.
The store that advertises to trick it's customers is almost a
relic in this present day.
Many a time you find a bargain that turns out better than
the advertisement claimed it to be, and you think somebody,
somewhere, has made a mistake. But there was no mistake. It
was put there purposely to win your confidence.
Every ounce of human ingenuity is brought to bear upon the
advertising Of the present day. To write the real story of a
single item would be to write a chapter in the history of com.
merce.
These merchants who have figured on costs till their eyes
gave out; these buyers who have studied every angle of their
work. are trying to tell you through their advertising just wi at
thew have done for you. And the least, you can do is to read
what they have to say,
The report Of all their efforts is in this paper today. The
.dvertisire news to you should be interesting news after this.

II is curious how slow we have been
In getting around to seeing that it
pays to cultivate people almost as well
as turnips and cows. It seems we
would have thought about it first. This
brings to mind a story of a raking a
farmer received for building his hog
pen near his house. He explained
that it was handy. He was told of the
dangers but he replied none Of his
hogs had died, His questioner asked

VILLA FOLLOWER DECLARES
CHIEF SHOT BY OWN MAN

Field Headquarters. Mexico, June %
fhy courier TO Columbus. y. n. June
26).-PanchO Villa was shot from the
rear by a Mexican he had impressed
into his command during the battle
with Carrauza troops at Guerrero. but
his fate is still unknown. according 10
a semi official account given out here
today obtained by Mai Robert l.
Howe. who was close on Villas trail
last April The officer learned the de-
tails OF the bandit chiefs wOund!nE
from one Of the Mexicans Villa draft
ed and who afterward deserted.
The details Of the story tally accu-
rately with all the facts which Ameri-
can officers have obtained in their
chase and their independent secret
service work. but the account does
not say whether the bandit died or
recovered
villa, the Mexican deserter said. ex-
hibIted every evidence Of terror dur
ing the early stages OF his flight. after
the Americans had defeated his men at
Rancho san Geronimo. He asserted
he believed that Villa was dead. but II
he still were alive he was in the state
OF Durango. for which point he was
heading during his flight from Gen
Pershing's men.
