Tue prot prletors oi these stores, however, do not lake these things lor granted. Tbey do not stop wltb tbe announcement that tbey ktep do goods or grocerits, but seek to attract attention by tbe recital ol interesting facts. Wbai banks Deed la-the kiDd of advertising Ibai will influence people to uhe ibe bank, wbi. are now indifferent to it. Id almost ever} community tbere Is enough money carneu In pockets and bidden away in obsure places to atari a respectable bank. People, as a rule - are thoughtless ol tbelr own needs It nevei occurs to us tbat we need certalu things until tbelr desirability Is biougbt forcltly lu our attention. Suggestion la everything. Suggestion of a need olteutiuiea creates It. " ota ol people never tblnk of opening s oaDk account, because tbe matter bas Dover hftnn nresented to them in a wav that lm presses them of their need of one. Bare publicity gives do reasons. It seldom bring* result* to a bank. Mariy ads In tbe papers are not noticed, simply because they have become t-o familiar to us through long appearance In the same form that tbe ej e anoonclously skips them, to rest on something new.- No absolute line for advertising bank ' / at different places can be laid down, as local conditions and environment* must be taken Into consideration and acted upon. Tbert are many features of tbe banking business, which presents possibilities of p oflt tbat a liberal advertising campaign will develop. There Is tbe money order business. Tbe enormous sum of over 8750.U00.0U0 Is bundled annually by the postomce and express companies, on which tbe profits, or lees charged, amount to about 56,250.000. Tbe only way to turn Ibis business to tbe banks Is to advertise tbe featnre9 more perslHtentiy. Tbe express companies and tbe postofflc are very aggressive In soliciting this class oi business through advertising and those banks that desire such business should go tbem one better?do better advertising, and more of 1t. Letters of credit, certificates ol deposit, and safe deposit vaults are ainoug tbe maoy features tbat can be exp oited wltb prom, id roue me medium 01 advertising. The savings department of a back can be made the source of mucb new business. Instructions In tbe value of saving?bints as to tbe advantage&of providing for a rainy day? tbe encouragement of thrift aud frugality, and similar arguments forming tbe basis oi educational advertising, will soon bave tbelr effect. Publishing tbe statement of tbe condition, whenever called for by tbe comptroller or State commissioner, as tbe case may be, can be turned to advantage by pointing out the strong features of an especially good stale / meat, and why It Is so,and with equal frankness OLe not so good should be analyzed. Most bank statements are very dense Tbey are entirely devoid of Interest to tbe ?enerai pnbllc, nnd yet to a large extent It is tbe general public they are Intended to Interest. There seems to be a certain mystery, a 1-tck of knowledge on tbe part of the public, concerning banking methods and purposes, which offers a great field for banS advertising. No reason exists why such information should not be made public, and tbe bank which goes to tbe trouble or expense oi circulating such information Is sure to benefit tbe most by It. Continued advertising creates confidence. A bank cannot be oonstantly before the public without being found out, and known for wbat It is. The people believe In a bank which can stand tbe limelight ol publicity. An interesting Instance is that of an Eastern bank, wbicb, although very old, was In a bad way In 1001, and bad to be reorganized. Tbe new ^management by advertising in tbe dally newspapers and through tbe Judicious dHtrlbuilon of bookleis, statements and otber printed mauer. increased me rmnk deposit* from about 81,000.000 In April 1004. to nearl> 14 000.000 al the present time. Tbe advertUements were plain and frank, though dlgul fled, bat tbe central note of the campaign was always tbe policy of tbe Institution, until tbere was no rhance or misunderstanding or Ignoring It. Tbe result speaks tor lUelt. Pittsburg Is pointed out, wbere bank advertising Is perhaps better done tban In any other coummunlty. Tbe banks tbere tbat advertised In tbe newspapers showed an Increase In assets of 88 per cent, and an Increase In deposits ol 85 per cent. In a period of five years, while tbe banks tbat did not avail themselves of tbe columns of tbe local papers gained In tbe same time only 27 per cent. In assets and 11 per cent. In deposits. Cleveland'* great savings banks are becom Ing known through tbe country through publicity In tbe magazines and newspapers. More tban 6 percent, if all tbe money on deposit In the savings banks of tbe United Slates, or $185,500,000 Is In tbe banks of tbe city of Cleveland, while tbe population oi tbla city is only one-ball of 1 per cent, of the population of tbe entire country. It is tbe systematic, continuous and persistent effort tbat counts for success. TOWN CLEARED OF NEGROES. luHultto While Girl Leada to WholeaalA Vinnlbinn in llllnnlu Ti?ts/?i?

Did you ever hoar the story of the best etort that Murat Halatead ovor received? <lo ono ever enjoyed telling the story more han ho did, and it is good enough to irint anywhere. The old law Arm of Goldmith, Colston, Hoadly & Johnson was me of Mr. Halstead's pet subjects for sarasm, politically and otherwise. He aught up a phrase which was attributed o the junior partner of the firm, Mr. fohnsot, and after calling him a''shining irnament of the Cincinnati bar" for some ime, the brilliant Mr. Halstcad went urther and publicly dubbed Mr. Johnson 'the brass ornament of the Cincinnati jar." This phrase was so attractive to Idr. Halstoad that ho never hesitated to lse it in every possible way. Halstead's i iirr on mo hnWfiVOT. At an evening gathering Mr. Halstead, | vho was very susceptible to the charms j >f the fair sex, saw a handsome woman in he crowd superbly dressed, and with dianonds on bcr bosom and in ber hair that vould at onco attract attention. He bog;od to bo proscntcd, and was?to Mrs. fohnson. It did not present itself to Mr. 3alstoud's mind, perhaps a little less iteady at the time than usual, who the ady might be. He was curious about her. "Johnson, Johnson?" he repeated. "I lave novor had the pleasure of meeting rou bofuro, Mrs. Johnson. Do you live In Jhio?" "Oh, yes," replied tho lady, brimming >ver with sinilos. ' I live in Cincinnati." "Indued!" said Mr. Halstead, quite astonished. "^lay I inquire of what family >f Johnsons you are?" Tho smiles were more than merry this ;imo. "Mr. Halstead," she roplled, "for 18 rears I have been trying to polish up the jrass ornament of the Cincinnati barI"-? Cincinnati Tribune. Verdi'* First IMqbIc. Tho first musical signs made by Verdi were ominous. Tlicy were In connection with tho street organ, and all the world Snows what it has subsequently suffered from Verdi being on the street organs. Think of London alone! Also of the late Mr. Babbago, and Mr. Bass' London street music bill I An Itinerant organ grinder ased to come betimes to the Roncole inn, when little Verdi would run to stand and ;aze in wonderment at the musician and tils music, nor would he leave the attrao;lon until fetched away. One especial favorite with tho ohild was Bagasset, a decrepit violinist, who predicted to the innkeeper that his son would be a groat musician some day. Verdi helped this poor fellow in aftor years, when tho prophecy bad been amply fulfilled. When Verdi was about 7 years old, bis father addod a spiunot, or pianoforte, to bis worldly possessions. The child had ilroady shown some tasto for music, for, besides tho street music episode, the priest it Roncole had kicked him down the altar steps for paying more attention to the music from the orgau than to his duties of. times a nnot. whlnh tiis naturally quiot demeanor had obtained for him. No soonor was the piano in the house than young Verdi went at it with a will until ono day, bocauso he could not 3nd sonio favorite chord upon the keyboard, he was discovered in great anger belaboring the Instrument with a hammer!?Blaokwood's Magazine. IVIary Anderson. Mary Anderson De Navarro, In recounting her early stage experience in The Lalies' Home Journal, asserts that Xew Orleans audiences were the first to give her recognition of a substantial sort, and ol ;he Crescent City she speaks with genuine fondnoss. Rather oddly it was in "Meg Merrilies" that she won the favor and plaudits of the New Orleans public. The bouse on the occasion of her presentation if tho play was crowded and the audience wildlyenthusias.tib.
