MAH> subscribers to the newspaper, no doubt, think the publisher is doing a very smallthing when be mails to a sub­ scriber a bill for delinquent subscription amounting to from one to three or four dollars, and to the individual subscriber it is indeed a small matter. But when you look at it from the publisher's point of view it means a great deal m.>re. When the subscriber who is indebted for his paper receives his weekly copy it only adds a very small sum to the total of his indebtedness, but if there are many de­ linquents tne publisher adds many dol­ lars to his debtor'^ accounts and in course of a moifth it runs into hundreds of dollars and in ayeaHt g ts up into the thousands. Only tnink of it in this light and ypu will have a more kindly feeling for the .mblisher when he asks for the small sum you owe him on subscrip­ tion. , S* """ --3 THE last shoot for the Silver Cup took place at Elgin on Saturday last and was won by Brunemier. of Aurora, who had a score of 111 out of a possible 120. Bert Dunnell stood second with 108 and L. ^H. Owen, of this village third with 107. There were six of these shoots, twenty birds to a shoot, one being held each month. The shoot started out with about thirty contestants, buttbey grad­ ually dropped out until at the last one there were but four. We were not pre­ sent at the shoot but from what we have beard from those who were there, the victor has no per cent as a shooter over git her Own or Dunnell and, we belie either would be willing to contest with l^S,!?

Nowhere has there been given a mojv Rotable response to the spirit of modern improvement than in the advertising pages of the current newspapers aula magazines. Advertising itself is not a new thing, but its primitiveness of style was, until very receut times, a markedly persistent trait of it. A look of any modem newspat er or magazine shows to-day that the adver­ tising pages betfiSa quite literaiW and ar­ tistic product. They were once # barren, unattractive waste. They are now part of the humanities, a true mirror of life, a sort of foasil history, from which the future chronicler, if all other historical monuments tifere to be lost, might fully and graphically rewrite the history of our lime. There1 is no knowing where all this will stop, or what new adds may j|et be in- va$£d to make the attraction of the ad­ vertisement still more irresistible. But what is most to be noted is the charm1 which has come to the advertising pages Once we skipped them, unless some.pres siug want compelled us totread, while now we ivad to find out what ihf really want.*-Warper's Weekly. a ^ Richard?

So much has been said about muster­ ing out volunteers, the President has made a statement setting forth his pol­ icy in his matter, which we feel confident will meet with general approval: From the number of requests that I receive for the mustering out of this or that regiment I judge that the peoplaare finder the impression that the war is over. That is a mistake. Nothing but a peace protocol has been signed. We are just'On the eve of sending some dis­ tinguished gentlemen to Paris to meet commissioners from Spain and there ne- gotiat a peace treaty. It would be the heighth of un-wisdotti to indiscriminate­ ly disband our army while there is a pos­ sibility that circumstances may require our commissioLers to make absolute de­ mands. I have issued orders that 100,- 000 volunteers shall be mustered out of service. One half of the quota ofsoldiers furnished to the government by each state will be allowed to go home. But no amount of political influence or per­ suasion can induce me to permit any more regiments to be mustered out until this war is definitely over with. If this can be understood the people and the soldiers themselves will be satisfied. The services of the soldiers retained in the army are needed by the United States for the present. /€HET 'eveuiig I MAT RETAIN THEIR ARKS. Permission has been granted by the secretary of war to the volunteer troops who fifcrted in the army during the war with Spain to retain their arms and equipments. These articles will not be presented by the government, but each man will be given the privileges of pur­ chasing his rifle, knapsack, canteen, car­ tridge belt, and, in fact everything used by him during the war. One month's pay will cover the total expense, the Krag-Jorgensen ritlle costing flO dol­ lars and the rest Of the equipment about $3, and the last month's pay will be ac­ cepted in payment. As each man will be granted a furlough, this will practically be a gift from the government which will pnohlo oroor ooMJoi' •*-» posterity the weapon he used in defense of tl.e honor of his country. Reports of carelessness with the government's pro perty have reached the war department, and every soldier will be compelled to present a certificate of non-indebtedness from a paymaster before he receives his discharge. If any of the government's property is no* accounted for fie per­ son wh<t is responsible for it will be docked before he is discharged. ARROW SHOTS. I shot an arrow into the air. It fell to earth 1 know notwhere. --Long fellow. A great many girls go to boarding school and yet never know a thing about cooking. A fellow shaking hands warmly with everybody that he meets may not be es­ pecially friendly. He may be a candir date for office. There is a great deal of very expensive fishing tackle that never catches any fish. „ When a man's socks are hanging down over his shoes he is just as comfortable as when they are up, provided he doesn't know it, but it looks funny.

Butler, of pack-train No. 3, writ­ ing from Santiago de Cuba, on July 23d, says: "We all had diarrhoea in more or less violent form, and when we landed we had no time to see a doctor, for it was a case of rush and rush night and day to keep the troops supplied with ammuni­ tion and rations, but thanks to Cham­ berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were ready to keep at work and keep our health: in fact, I sincerely believe that at one crit cal time this medicine was the indirect saviour of our army, for if the packers had been unable to work there would have been no way t»f getting supplies to the front. There were no roads that a wagon train could use. My comrade and myself had the good fortune to lay in a supply of this med­ icine for our pack-train before we left Tampa, and T know in fobrjeasen it ab* solutely saved life."

A boy who was engaged in nocturnal apple stealing a short time ago, aud was observed by the owner of the fruit, who, unnoticed by the young robber, placed a stufferi dog at the foot of the tree and retired to watch the result of his strategy. The boy, about to descend, saw the dog, and then the fun commenced. He whistled, coaxed, threatened, but una- vailingly, the animal never moving, and, finally accepting the inevitable, settled down to pass the night in the tree. After some hours had passed, wearily enough to the lad, morning dawned, and the proprietor coming from the house asked how he came to be in the tree, to which the boy answered that he took to it to save himself from the dog, which had chased him quite °la distance.-- Exchange.
