THIS ad. is directed at the
man who has all the
business in
this community.
Mr. Merchant You say
you've got it all. You're sell-
ing them all they'll buy any-
how. But at the same time
you would like more business.
. Make this community buy
more.
CJ Advertise strongly consist-
ently judiciously.
Suppose you can buy a lot
of washtubs cheap; advertise
a big washtub sale in this pa-
per. Put in an inviting pic-
ture of a washtub where
people can see it the minute
they look at your ad. Talk
strong on washtubs. And
you'll find every woman in
this vicinity who has been
getting along with a rickety
washtub for years and years
will buy a new one from you.
C That's creative business

Biography of Edward MacDowell Re-
lates Some Examples of the Mas-
ter's Caustic Humor.
In a biography of Edward MacDow-
ell by Lawrence Gilman the writer
quotes some of the famous musician's
witticisms. On one occasion he had
been told of a performance of his
composition "To a Wild Rose" played
by a high-school girl on a high-school
piano at a high-school graduation fes-
tivity. "Well" MacDowell remarked
"I suppose Bho pulled it up by th
roots!"
Some one sent him about this time
-relates Mr. Ilumiston a program of
an organ recital at which this same
"Wild Rose" was to be played.
"He was not pleased with the idea
thinking doubtless of a style of per-
formance which plays Schumann's
'Traumerei' on (the great organ dia-
pasons. He remarked simply that it
reminded him of a hippopotamus wear-
ing a clover leaf in his mouth."
A member of one of his classes at
Columbia finding more unoccupied
space oii the page of his book after
finishing the exercise filled up the va-
cancy with rests. When his book was
returned the page was covered with
corrections all except these bars
rests which were inclosed in a ad
line and marked:
"This is the only correct passage to
the exercise." Youth's Companion.

very fond of shooting. Heaid: "The
first bird I ever shot was a squirrel
?nd the first time I hit him I missed
him altogether and the next time I
hit him I took a stone and dropped him
from the tree and he fell into the
water and was shot and that was the
tirst bird I ever shot"-v
And Lord Charles is never tired of
quoting the story of the Irish member
of the house of commons who compared
a certain whisky to a "torchlight pro-
cession trickling down I113 throat."

A Thing of the Past.
Leonora O'Reilly the vice-president
of the Women's Trade Union league
was praising this organization's work
in New York.
"And it has a great future before
it." she-said. "I have no doubt that a
century hence the members of the
league will regard the woman of to-
day as we now regard the farmer's
wife of the early forties.
"A Maine deacon of the early for-
ties was talking to the minister. He
Fnifiled and whined:
" "Oh. yes. Job suffered some I
ain't denyin' that parson. But Job

30G THAT TOLLS FOG BELL
Lord Beresford's Wit.
The Emerald isle is proud of Charlie
Beresford and Charlie is proud of his
native land and country. "Irishmen
may have their faults" he says "but
give me an Irishman the best fellow
that ever was. Could anybody tell
I more stories than the Irish?"
QflS OL Ifi llest tflrtes to eTer
Irite-.ligent Animal Is Invaluable As
sistant to Keeper of Isolated
Light Station.
Off the shores of Alaska on a small
rocky island is a little light station
connected with which Is a fog bell.
During the continuance of dense fogs
which freouently prevail the bell
is used to warn vessels of the dan-
ger of approaching too near the island
and coast
The lightkeeper has a large and
very intelligent shepherd dog that an-
swers to the name of Don Carlos. This
dog has been trained to toll the fog
bell when the weather is very heavy.
So well trained is Don Carlos that
when the fog comes rolling in he
rushes unbidden by the keeper to the
bell and begins to tug at the rope and
to sound the alarm.
Don Carlos often takes his turn at
the bell during the night when
the keeper is busy looking after
the light
"I do not see how I could get along
without Don Carlos" the keeper de-
clares. "I am all alone and have no
other assistant; but I can always rely
Implicitly on my dog. He knows his
iuty and faithfully performs it wheth.
r told to do so or not"
I Kew York. Dec. 2S.--A thoasna;
barn yards combined into one Could 1
not produce the volume of noise
which echoes through Madison rfquare
Garden today. The crowing of roost-
ers the cackling of hens the quack
of ducks and geese thegobble-gobble
of turkeys the cooing of pigeons and
the sweet music .of song birds serve
to produce an uproar that is constant
anil almost deafening. The foolish1
roosters inistaking the electric lights
for the dawning of the day keep up
a continuous roar.
There issome class to tjie exhibits
too as the finest poultry -and pet
stock of the United States and Can-
ada are brought together in a com.
petition for the coveted prizes to be
awarded at the twenty-first annual
show of the New York Poultry Pig-
eon and Pet Stock Association. Incu-
bators of all sizes and makes hourly
bring into existence new flocks of
poultry and the varied accessories of
the industry are on exhibition.
Tomorrow the meowing of Toms
an dtheir wives will be added to the
general din when the Atlantic Cat
Club opens Its annual exhibition in
the concert hall of the garden which
the directors think is the most ap.
propriate place for a feline show.
However the pussies to be shown are .
all well bred and polite a majority I
being Persians and Angoras and j
many of them are valued at hundreds 1
of dollars each. Some of the cats will
have maids in attendance whose sole .
duties will be to look after the com-.'
fort and welfare of their own par-1
titular charges.

Had to Do It.
Suddenly a white form appeared
at a window. All about leaped the
mad flames. A portion of the wall
had caved in and it was too hot for
the firemen to go up after the man
anyway. But see a noble hero
dashes under the ropes makes his
way to the elevator and shoots up
to the leventy-leventh floor where
the lonelyv form is still standing.
Within about eight and one.half
minutes he conies tearing out of the
building with the life he has saved
besides his own. Just then the en-
tire building and the man who held
the mortgage on it collapsed.
About seventy-five thousand peo-
ple rushed over to the hero the man
who at the risk of his own life and
without the aid of a brass band went
to the rescue of one lone man.
" 'Twas indeed noble of you" the
people cried with one voice. "Why
did you do it?"
"Veil" said the hero "I hat to.
He owes nie two tollars." Oregon

Never Saw One.
'I have a wife and six children
in Austria and I never saw one of
them" said one gentleman to an-
other." "Were you ever blind?"
"Oh no" replied the other. There
was a brief lapse of time and then
the interrogator resumed the subject.
"Did I understand you to say that
you had 'a wife and six children'in
Australia and that you had never
seen one of them?"
"Why" was the answer "one of
them was horn after I left."

And fruits we sell we keep the best ;

But leave the rest with yon.
