SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM THE AGENCY OF THE LOCAL PAPER. If the retailer would make for himself a business which cannot be damaged by the efforts of the mail- order houses, he must give all the thought he possibly can to his adver- tising. Many merchants are today failing to take advantage of the opportun- ity to reach the readers of the local papers. The ad must say things, and say them in a way to draw people to the store. A decsription and attractive price acts as a sug- tion, creates the desire, and the goods are turned into cash. The customer might come into the store a hundred times and not know that you handled the goods wanted, but the ad tells what you have and creates the demand. Do not imagine, however, that you can begin advertising and at once increase your business from 25 to 60 per cent. That would be unreasonable. You must keep everlastingly at it, if you would get the best results. Start in on your advertising with the determination to make each ad better reading and of more value to the reader than the same space in the news columns would be, and then determine to keep up the good work every day of your life, and it will not be long before you will see what advert!sing will do in the way of increasing business for you.—Commercial Bulle- tin. B. F. Wright of Park Rapids, candidate for district judge of the fifteenth judicial district, is rapidly gaining ground. His candidacy is meeting the approval of the majority of the residents of the district. Mr. Wright is one of the oldest residents of this section of the state and where- ever known it is to his credit. Hav- ing practiced law at Park Rapids for a great many years he is termed the pioneer attorney of the district. Mr. Wright has been a man of good judgment, a good counsellor and his dealings with his clients has been such that they are among the most enthusiastic workers he has working for his nomination. His unanimous endorsement by the Hubbard county bar shows the high esteem which the attorneys of that district hold of their favorite candidate. r Bathing a Prince. George IV. while prince and residing in his Brighton palace kept In his bed- Toom a portrait of Mrs. Gunn, an old bathing woman who used to dip him into the sea when he was the little Prince of Wales. A picture book much prized by children showed the old lady bathing the little fellow. Beneath the yleture was this stanza: To Brighton came he, Came George the Third's son, To be dipped in the sca By the famed Martha Gunn. A companion portrait to Martha Gunn’s was that of Thomas Smoaker, who had charge of the horse which drew the bathing machines into and out of the sea. One day the little roy- al highness, having learned to swim. swam out farther than Thomas judged to be safe. He called to him to come back, but the self willed boy struck out with more vigor. Thomas went after the prince, overtook him, seized him by an ear and drew him to shore “Do you think,” he replied to the boy’s angry words, “I'm a-going to get myself hanged for letting the king's heir drown hisself just to please a youngster like you?” The Man Who Told the Tale. It happened on a Pullman car be- tween New York and Chicago. Dinner having been finished, the gentlemen assembled In the swoking room to en- Joy thelr cigars. “During the time I was in the war,” sald the quiet man, “I saw a very wonderful thiug in the line of surgicai operations. A friend of mine was shot through the right breast, the bullet passing clear through him. The pres- ence of mind of his companion un- doubtedly saved his life. He wrapped his handkerchicf around the ramrod of his gun and, pushing it through the path made by the bullet, cleared the wound of all poisonous lead. 1 know It Is hard to believe, but, gentlemen, the man still lives to tell the tale.” “Which man?’ inquired the slim pas. senger on the other seat quietly. “The wounded one, of course,” ex. claimed the old soldier scornfully. “Oh, I beg your pardon. I thought It wight be the other.” Selwyn's Curious Taste. . George Selwyn had a strange but not wncommon passion for seeing dead bodles, especially those of his friends. He would go any distance to gratify this pursuit. Lord Holland was laid up very 1Il at Holland House shortly be- fore his death. George Selwyn sent to m how he was and whether he would to see him. Lord Holland an- swered: “Oh, by 21l means! If I'm allve tomorrow I shall be delighted to see George, and I know that if I am dead he will be delighted to see mel” Flinty Plant Covers. ‘When Sir Humphry Davy was & boy about sixteen, a little girl came to him in great excitement: “Humphry, do tell me my these two pleces of cane make a tiny spark of light when I rub them together?” Humphry was a studious boy, who spent hours in thinking out scientific problems. - He patted the child’s curly head and said: “I do not know, dear. Let us see if they really do make a light, and then ‘we will try to find out why.” Humphry soon found that the little girl was right. The pieces of cane if rubbed together quickly did give a tiny light. Then he set to work to find out the reason, and after some time, thanks to the observing powers of his little friend and his own kindness to her in not impatiently telling her not to “worry,” as so many might have done, Humphry Davy made the first of his interesting discoveries. Every reed, cane and grass has an outer skin of flinty stuff, which protects the in- side from insects and also helps the frail looking leaves to stand upright. Table Manners In Old France. Could we restore for half an hour the dinner table of old France and obtain half a dozen instantaneous photo- graphs of a royal banquet at any era between the reigns of Francls I and Louis Quatorze such a “cataract of laughter” would be heard as might disturb the serenity of Louis in para- dise. The duchess, her napkin tled se- curely round her neck, would be seen mumbling a bone, the noble marquis surreptitiously scratching himself, the belle marquise, withdrawing her spoon from her lips to help a neighbor to sauce with it, another fair creature scouring her plate with her bread, a gallant courtier using his_doublet or the tablecloth as a towel Tor his fin- gers and two footmen holding a yard of damask under a lady’s chin while she emptied her goblet at a draft. Dur- ing a feast of inordinate length it was sometimes necessary to substitute a clean cloth for the one which the care- lessness or bad manners of the guests had reduced to a deplorable condition, —*“An Idler In Old France.” The Midget Snakes. “I see by your paper,” says a corre- spondent, “that you want to find a man who can tell a snake story with the sound of originality to it. Here it is: Nearly forty years agoin the woods of Indiana I captured three snakes, each less than three and one-fourth inches in length, a combined length of less than ten inches, a little longer and a little larger in the middle than an old fashioned wool darning needle. Al- though these snakes were 8o small they would crawl around with their heads up and dart out their tongues like larger snakes, I put these reptiles in an eight ounce’ bottle, and they had plenty of room to crawl around on the bottom of it without crowding. These ‘were not the kind of snakes generally seen in bottles, but genuine snakes, Among those who saw them was a minister of the gospel, and he had not been taking anything to make him see snakes elther.”—Emporia Gazette. The Pirates. The Chicago News fails to name the hero of this story, but has it that the visitor to the home of a well known Hoosler State author found his three youngsters romping in the hallway, “What are you playing, boys?’ he inquired. . “We are playing pirates,” elucldated the smallest. “Pirates? Why, how can you play pirates in Indiana? There are no seas bordering on this state.” “Oh, we don’t need any seas. We are literary pirates, like pa.” And flve minutes later a chorus of yells from behind the barn told that the hand that wields the pen can also wield the shingle. Outside of His Practice. “All that s the matter with you, sir,” said the eminent physiclan after a thorough examination, “is lack of nu- trition. You don’t eat enough.” “I eat all T can hold, doctor,” sald the attenuated caller. “Then you need to have your capac- fty enlarged, and that's a case for a surgeon, Five dollars, please. Good morning.”—Chicago Tribune. Overstudy. Books are pleasant, but if by being overstudious we impair our health and spoll our good humor, two of the best pleces we have, let us glve it over. I, for my part, am one of those who think' that no fruit derived from them can recompense so great a loss.—Montaigne. She Was Safe. Little four-year-old Mabel was run- ning downhill, holding her dress tight- “Be careful,” called her mother, “or you will fall.” “Oh, no, I won't,” replied Mabel, “’cause I'm holding tight to myself.” Not What He Meant. Physiclan—Have you any aches or pains this morning? Patient— Yes, doctor; it hurts me to breathe—in fact, the only trouble now seems to be with my breath. Physician—All right. T'll glvt: you something that will soon stop that! Forbearance. Bacon—Did you ever have any desire to go on the stage? Hgbert—Oh, yes; only last week I did. Oh, the actor was vile! But I contented myself with shying an egg at him.—Yonkers States- man, I never listen to calumnies, because if they are untrue. I run the risk of being deceived and if they are true of hating people not worth thinking about. ~—Montesquien. Foiled. “Ah!” sald Bragley, with a view to making Miss Wise jealous. “I-was alone last evening with some one I ad- mire very much.” “Ah!"” echoed the bright girl. “Alone, Wwere you?’—Philadelphia Press. A Losing Scheme. “They tell me that poor Jolly is a victim of his own good fellowship.” “That’s so. He lost his own health in drinking other people’s.”~Baltimore American, ... __ * The Mule’s Delusion. - The pack mule is quite as much an fnstitution as the team mule and is absolutely indispensable in the moun- tains. Mule packing is a fine art, and with' a well trained animal and a skill- ful packer you can safely transport anything from a piano to a bag of oats, ‘When the packer has finished his job in an artistic manner, the animal may buck or back, kick or rear or roll, but he cannot rid himself of his burden, and he finally glves it up in despair, After two or three experiences he will submit to his destiny and fall into line with the rest of the traln every morn- Ing to receive his load from the pack- er. A well trained pack mule is at- ways proud of his load, and if by any means it gets loose he will step quietly out of line and wait until the pack- master comes along to tighten it, The most serious objection to the mule, which you sometimes find in hu- man beings also, 1s the delusion that he can sing. One who has never heard a mule solo cannot appreclate the ex- tent of his mistake; but, like every- thing else about a mule, his song is strictly original. It belongs to no other animal. No one can describe and no one can Imitate it.—New York Malil. Mixed Pickl Bishop Knox once explained that “Mr. McKenna's sword was an over- loaded pistol which, being hung up in a tight corner lest it should burst, pre- tended to be dead until it got up an® trotted home on the friendly back of the bishop of St. Asaph.” But it Is in political debate, especially in the house of commons, that the mixed metaphor flourishes most luxuriantly. “The flood- gates of irreliglon and intemperance are stalking arm in arm throughout the land.” “This bill effects such a change that the last leap in the dark was a mere flea bite” “That is the marrow of the educational act, and it ‘will not be taken out by Dr. Clifford or anybody else. It is founded on a gran- ite foundation and speaks in a volce not to be drowned in sectarian clam- or” “The question of moisture in to- bacco is a thorny subject and has long been a bone of contention.”—Manches- ter Guardian. Tulip Soup. “What makes this vegetable soup taste so different?” asked the young husband of the pretty bride. “Only the leeks you sent home,” re- plied the bride. “You remember you said you were going to order leeks.” “I dldn’t order any leeks,” growled the husband, but he finished his bowl of soup rather than disappoint her. That afternoon he stopped at the grocery store. “How did you come to send leeks up to my house this morning?” he de- manded. “I didn’t order them.” “Great Scott! Did you eat them?” exclaimed the grocer. “Bure, we ate them.” “Oh, for land’s sake. They were Mrs. Jackson’s tulip bulbs. She left them on the counter and they got into your basket by mistake.”—Detrolt Free A Queer Practice. A queer practice which is general throughout all the tribes of Australia 18 the ribbing of the skin. When the children are still young long cuts are made across the chest, down the up- per arm and leg and even across the back and ribs. While the wound is quite fresh the cut is opened and a mixture of mud is grafted in, the skin being pulled as far as possible over it. The skin eventually grows completely round the mud filling and forms ridges varying in length and size from an ordinary lead pencil to the thickness of a man’s little finger and extending from armpit to armpit. I am informed that while the healing process is going on the pain is ex- quisite, but the result seems to satisfy all parties concerned.—London Stand: ard. ‘The Brave Butterfly. Here is an unorthodox story of King Solomon: One day a butterfly sat on the king’s temple and boasted to his wife. “If T chose I could lift my wing and shiver this bullding to the ground,” he swaggered. Solomon, overhearing, sent for the boaster. “How dare you?” he thundered. The butterfly groveled, “I did it to impress my wife,” he pleaded. The great monarch was in- stantly appeased and let him go. “What did Solomon say to you?’ gasp- ed a quivering wife five minutes later. “Oh, he begged me mot to do it,”” sald the butterfly alirily. And Bolomon, again overbearing, emiled.—Chicago News. Wifely Curlosity. “Henry, dear, I trled on a suit of your clothes the other day, and it fitted me to perfection.” “May I ask your object in taking such a liberty with my garments?” “Why, Belle Greene said she heard Tommy Tolliver say that you wasnt much bigger than a shrimp, and I was just wondering how big a shrimp is.”— Cleveland Plain Dealer. Alike In One Way, *“He's quite wealthy and prominent now,” sald Mrs. Starvem, “and they say he rose practically from nothing.” “Well, welll” remarked Mr. Border. “That’s just what I rose from—at the breakfast table this morning.”—London Answers. Those Amiable Creatures. Maud—This {s my engagement ring. Isn't it lovely? Edith—Perfectly ador- ablel How generous Fred was to give you such a valuable ome! And to think that folks say that your father paid for it!l—Boston Transeript. Inquiring Boy—Ma, what did the moths eat before Adam and Eve wore clothes--Exchange. At the End of the Voyage. Jonah disembarked. “The only trip I don’t have to tip the steward,” be exclaimed. TPherewith he regarded the whale half approvingly.—New York Sun. Different Points of View. “It's hard to be poor,” sighed the pessimist, “That’'s queer,” replied the ragged optimist. “I always.found it ‘enough.” < Suceessful guilt is the bane ef so- IHENTYAIE PeRH Pleasure Launch Caught in Ty- phoon Near Manila. | —7 RESCUERS SAVE ABOUT FIFTY — Boats From Passing Vessels Are Low- ered and Many Persons Picked Up. Three = Americans,. Including an . Army Surgeon, Among the Dead. Manila, July 1..—A pleasure launch bound from Manila to Corregidor isl- and, carrying seventy-five passengers, was caught in a typhoon and foun- dered. It is belleved twenty-five of the passengers, including three Amer: icans, were drowned. The others, numbering about fifty, were picked up by the British steamer Suveric, Which was passing close to the launch when 1t foundered. The Suveric lowered boats immedi- ately and these, together with boats from other craft that came to the res- cue, picked up the fifty passengers with much difficulty. It is reported an army surgeon is among the lost. Details of the disaster have not yet reached Manila. Corregidor island is at the entrance of Manila bay, thirty miles distant from the city. GUISEPPE 'ALIA "EXECUTED Pays Penalty for Assassination of Denver Priest. Canyon Clty, Colo., July 1/.—Calling down maledictions upon the Roman priesthood and shouting in Italian “Long live Italy! Long live the Prot- estants!” Guiseppe Alia, the murderer of Father Leo Heinrichs of Denver, was carried to the death trap at the state penitentiary here and pald the extreme penalty of his crime. ‘When supper was served to the prigoner he divided it into five por- tions, saying that ome was for his wife, one for himself and one each for his three children. He then ate with apparent composure and relish. Alia then said he was ready to die at any tlme. He further said he felt no sorrow whatever for having killed Father Leo. He was certain that Father Leo was the man he had been searching for for many months and that he had recognized the priest by a scar on the side of his face. ‘When Alia was placed upon the trap Chaplain Blake of the prison uttered a short prayer, the dripping water of the automatic mechanism released the great weight and the body was jerked into the air. Unfortunately Alia’s neck was not broken, owing to the slipping of the rope, and he died of strangulation. After nineteen min- utes Alia’s body was cut down and he ‘was pronounced dead, The body of Alla was buried in a crude coflin in.the prison cemetery on the mountainside near the entrance of the Royal gorge. TWO-. KILLED IN COLLISION Locomotive Backing to Roundhouse Crashes Into Freight. Plerre, S.

Greenwich, Conn., July 17.—The White Mountain express on the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road was wrecked here.
