I w ill appropriate that amount and will send the re- j maining fifty to his brother.” Just then some one remarked: j “He’s got a^ pistol in his hip) pocket.” “Who has?” ‘Gallus” asked. “The dead man. Don’t you see?” “That's a fact,’’said “Gallus.” “And, by the way,” he added, “this diskivery puts a different phase on the matter. I’ll fine him fifty dollars for carrying the pistol. This makes it come out even. We won’t have to send his brother anything. ” A ten yard fast colored Challie Dress Pattern for only 30c. Handsome silk fish net polka dot pattern 50c up.

The first newspaper advertise ment came out in the London Times in 1048. The world does not contain half-a dozen news papers to-day without them. In the early days, when people could not read, the most curious and grotesq >e means to adver tise were resorted to. Who has not heard of the old English publics, or ians, known only by the swinging sign above its door? “The Boar,” “The Sheep- shead,” etc., were common names in those days. There is a place in London named Cheap- side, so called to brand the other side as the dear one. The Chinese are said to be the j most ingenious in their adver- 1 tisements. They make use of their deformities, even. “The Celestial Cook-shop of the pox- marked Wang,” “The Celebrat ed Eel-pie shop of heavenly beauty,” are samples of oriental enterprise. Americans have carried the art of advertising to the great-, est perfection yet attained. The devices used in this country to draw the attention and capture ‘-'•'ess the mind, or the eye, are in numerable. Public curiosity offers to the shrewd advertiser a wide and more prolific field than any other perhaps. Who is there so discerning that he has not read some attractive, racy article in (i(Tlhen ?
