GOOD ADVERTISING.
"Tongue" In business is at a dis
count. The modern salesman is the
man who knows when not to speak.
So of advertising, silence is often 1
Kokk-u .
Increase your effort as your field i
narrows. It is easier to sell $10 worth
of goods among a thousand people
than to sell that atnouut among one
hundred. If you have only a hundred
prospects, then work them hard.
Good advertising cannot be called 1
I
an expense, for it is only an invest
ment. just as you place your money
In a shoe stock or a line of furnish
ings and you get your money out of
it just as surely, and with possibly a
better margin on the investment.
No door is thick enough to keep ;
out the newspaper and its advertising,
no chamber is too remote, or too quiet,
for the favorite family paper; no sur
veillance is so strict but the news
paper is admitted, and it brings its
message of wars, of elections, acci
dents, marriages, births and deaths ?
and advertisements. ? Exchange.
THE BRIDGE.
I stood on the bridge at midnight.
?nd Razed on the sleeping town; and
the moon rose over the courthouse ?
there was nothing to hold it down. 1
looked at the weary river, that bub
bles and twists and squirms; I
thought of the folks who drink it, and
fill their insides with germs. How
often, oh how often, when I'd settled
the water rent, had I found that the
blamed collector had left me without
a cent! How often, oh how often in
the days that were gone by, had I
yearned for a drink of water, and
found all the hydrants dry! So my
heart was hot and restless, and my
life was full of care, and I stood on
cn the bridge at midnight, where the
cops couldn't hear me swear. And
the bridge, it collapsed beneath me,
and fell with an awful din; for the
grafters who built the structure had
fashioned the piers of tin. ? Walt Ma

GUS GOES BY GUESS WORK.
In writing a brief obituary of Gov. ,
John A. Johnson of Minnesota.
Gloomy Gus O'Brien stated the late
governor attended the University of
Pennsylvania and was later editor of j
the St. Paul Herald. Gov. Johnson
never even graduated from high j
school let alone attending the Uni- j
versity of Pennsylvania. There is not I
and has not been for years such a
paper as the St. Paul Herald, i
Probably Gloomy means the St. ;
Peter Herald. Gus has been i
In Juneau so long that he is becorn- j
lng rusty in his knowledge of current
events. This is the second time with
in the fortnight we have been called
upon to correct him.
Plunger Patten of Chicago seems 1
to rake in millions on his colossal i
stock deals with as much nonchalance;
a* the ordinary man would rake in a i
15 Jack pot.
For thou hast girded me with
strength unto the battle: thou hast
subdued under me those that rose up
against me. ? Psalms, 18 ? 39.
The sun shone for a few fleeting
bours Sunday ? for these small pres
ents let us be thankful.

The Courtship Gate.

destined to become very popular. The i
footboard is cushioned, and there Is a
warm soapstone ou each side, the in
side step being adjustable, so that a

line of any given mustache without
trouble. If the gate is occupied at
