When the sermon was over she j slipped the tablet in her glove, beinf; du-'-iroua of examining the indissulveable I little substance that her "steady" had j given her in the house of worship. When 1 alone in her room she pulled off her glove ' and out fell a trouser button. She is looking for a new fellow now. | Our reporter, says an exchange, was in a butcher shop the other day and was somewhat startled by the boss addressing the delivery boy in these words : "Now, boy, look lively. Break the bones in Mr. i , Aiithon's chops, and put Mr. Gleason's I ribs in your basket ; and by Jove, here's i Mrs. R 's liver that she left on the; I counter yesterday ; ai.d take Joe Larae's j feet out of pickle and deliver right off." I "All right, sir," replied the boy, "juat as soon as I saw Miss J 's leg off." We wish our advertisers to read the following carefully : Change your adver- tisements frequently. No matter how good a trade-catcher an advertisement may be when first issued, to li^t it stand too long wearies the readers who come to tlie cimulusion that you never change it, and finally he never even glances at it. No good newspaper man will feel put out by frequent requests for changes. It's the man who changes his advertisement that gets the results, and the mau who ).ets the results from his business an- inmncements is the publisher's best friend. His business is built by helping lo build yours as he knows it. It is u t the high price you pay for advertising but the results you get from it chat detor- niinos its value. More than half the battle lies with you. Advertise special- ties, seasonable lines and chiiige yourati" nouncements frequently. Make your per- formances as good as your announcements and you will have no dithculty in oxlend- nig your business. The World's Fair Premium Carriage StalHon Prince - Arthur NO 1952, Y. C. H. 8.
