THE SCRANTON TRIBUJNl- SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1899. H0 mMiiX 9 1 Brower's' 3 mWMVM When Urower lift runic to as lie snld lie w.is twntyone, but looked sev enteen.

Ilia salary vn small, but nrow er said It p.ild his boaid, and that was "pretty Rood." Hrower never grew en thusluRlic. He seldom spoke unlens spoken to. Ills nniueiM er then us ually the shortest of sentences. The llrst Infoimatlon he was known to volunteer was one dav when Shad inch, Meshaeh anil AbedneB" would Kindly have i villained In the fiery fur nace through a. ni'ie mutter of eon enleiice. Then Urowcr lemarke.d that It was "inetty warm." Coming from Hie far noithwest, the warmer climate benefited his weak larynx and his voice tirew stroiiKer. A lisc In salaiy siutrred him into got tlnsr a haul brimmed straw hat. As his voice waxed loc feeble he drew less dlllldeiu. rtulerneath that quiet exterior was concealed something which, If iiropetly sounded, revealed the true ring of manhood, with an echo ing smack of Uohemiaulsm. Now, an artNt was no exception to the general iule on our paper, but he quit at 11 11. in., as did most of the desk men. Ho one night the man who worked at the next table and myself linked llrower to come and loin u. Although we had never seen Brower imbibe In fact, we had never seen him do anything outside of tho art depait nient we weie not surprised to see him drink a beer. Hut later in the evening, utter we had hied ourselves to a var iety theater for the purpose of showing Brower some of the town, we were sur prised. It was a sort of beer garden1 and con cert hall combined, where the voice of the waiter could be heard persuasively and contiuiiully crying out: "Somebody tell me something: AVhat is It? Two beers; yes, sir. right awav! Make it thiee! Who elne wants beer 7" The Golding sisters In (stage) news boy costume, clean gingham shirts, black knee breeches and bright green stockings, In song besought the weaiy cipltalWt standing in the wings to pur chase Police Gazettes and Clippers. A lightning change brought them out ag.iln In characters of bold Irish lads "just from o'er the sea." .Miss Mamie Orny Norton warbled, Miss Mamie Les lie furnished a little harmony and AVard and Van itensselaer rendered negro songs. During the wliilo time Hiower spoke not. "Well, how do you like it, llrower?" linked Mac. "Oh, pretty well. Which one do you think sings worst?" replied ho. After that nothing Hrower did or said surpilsed us. "Do you ever keep any sketch books?" I asked him one day. "Yes, I have one," he replied. "Bring It down and let me see it," said I. Next day lie brought tho book. It contained twenty-seen sketches, exe cuted in a style to make us turn green with envy. The sketches were of one dog in ns many different positions. I pored over the book with tho Inter est of a naturalist discovering a new animal or an astronomer a new star. Wo could drew a dog in several posi tions, but how any man could see a dog in twenty-seven positions and draw It was beyond us. AVo had cca.ced to wonder at Brower. He was an enigma not to be solved, so wo gave up guessing. But we traced those dogs and put them In our refer ence book marked "Animals." There wa at that time a certain res tauiaut not unknown to most of us wheie a meal could b'e had for fifteen cents. Brower was a steady customer and regulaily bought a .commutation ticket, which called for seVu meals for a dollar. I'Pihaps the forty cents he thereby saved a mouth was not so much an Inducement as the pretty blonde wain ess. She eald Brower was an awfully nice customer to wait on. He never kicked. He was the quietest and politest young man she had ever seen. "And them's the kind of customers 1 like to serve." He was polite enough to pardon her People are easily frightened when they think that something is the matter with heart or lungs. Off they rush to the phy stcian'R office and have themselves ex. atuiued, no matter how big the fee may be. jneyuo not real ize that various forms of heart , trouble may be !l purely eympa- !! thetic. and that IW the orgau really ',i is the ktomach.

Sho usually gave him his check with the last eldu dish, "but one (lay in Au gust, Annie for such was h?r name tnirlcd mound tho tiuble. "Why don't you neiver go on none of tiio bout excursions, Mr. llrower?" she shyly asked "Because 1 work until 11 o'clock at night." ' "Why, that's Just the time the boat gets back. I'm gotng on one tonight. Ituw would you like 'to come down when the Imut gets in and take me home?" "Oh, protty well," lie grinned, Klve minutes past 11 aw Brower ut the wharf and live minutes later they hoaruY'd a car for tlw little girl's home. Theie was only one vacant seat, and that was In the front of the car on the platform. She cllinlH-d In and Brower stood on the footstep with his left hand holding' on to the end of tho seat. It was a long ride and it heemed as If no out! wontd get off. The little blonde squeezed over until her Huffy hair touched Uu grlpmun"n cleave. "Why don't you sit down, Mr. Brow er?" "Oh, there ain't room for two," said he. Anybody but Brower would have made room. "Say, put my pletuie In the paper some time, will you?" she rattled on. "Oh, t can't draw girl," said he. "I can't draw anything very good but dogs and horses." "Well, can't you draw It If I give you my photo? There wns a girl used lo woi k whore I did once, and she took poison nnd 11 reporter came to our house and got u pltoto out of the album and next day 1 seen her picture In the paper." Here a man .got oft and Brower sat down next to A.nnle. "It's a pretty nice night," said he. "Oh, bother tlie night," said Annie. "fay. won't you please, Mr. Brower?" "But I told you I couldn't draw glrlfl." "Well how'll I over get it in it you don't?" "Take poison," said Brower. The gtipmnn smiled. Annie squirmed nnd Brower ait ImpeYturnble. He had evidently meant what he said, and the lest of the ride was spent In silence. There was no hanging over the gate for that couple. Brower left her at home and hurried back to the car line. No cars In sight nnd not likely to be. thought he, as he looked at his watch, which indicated ten minutee past 1L'. Ho wore a gold watch with a leaiher shoestring for a chain, which was fastened to his vest by a big brass safety pin. "It's n pretty long walk," he mused; "but I guess I'll have to do It." Ho was In a part of the city ho had never seen before, so he decided to fol low the car tracks until lie could get his bearings and take a short cut for home. Block after block lv lapldly covered, until the houses grew more pretentious, and ho realized that ho must be get ting Into the swell pari of the city. Suddenly there rang out on the air a pistol shot. Simultaneously n elirlck was heard, then a side door of a man sion was llunp violently open nnd two dark figures dashed down the steps, only to be confronted by a third, whose brass buttons and silver shield glist ened in the moonlight. Tho sound of scuflling feet on the wiuo gravel walk fell on Brower's ears ns ho crouched peerlnglv from behind a tree. Then another pistol shot and the brave policeman sank to the ground dead. The two dark figures', with a curse on their lips, bounded down the path al most brushing the tree behind which Brower was concealed. As they swept past him ho could see that they wore masks, exposing only the lower part of their faces, yet not so swiftly did they My but Brower's rapid eye caught tho distinctive points in their appearance. The noise of tho two phots attracted several people and a brother officer to the scene. Brower called tho officer uslde and told him what he had seen nnd heard, gave the ofneer his name, addiess and occupation, and, after re ceiving an injunction to "any nothing to uolKidv until called upon," started ngaln for home. Bruwer was excited. The double mur derfor such It afterward proved to be was enousli to excite the strongest nerves. "There's no us.e going to bed in thhi condition," thought ho; "I must get something to quiet me down." Ho walked several squares beyond his own unpretentious street and made his way to an all-night saloon. The whiskey corresponded with the local ity, and that was bad, which Brower knew, but, whiskey was whiskey to a man In hr? condition. Knteiing the saloon lie called for Ills drink and was in the act of tossing it down when his attention was suddenly arrested, for at the other end of the bar were two dark figures engaged In sub dued conversation, who shot suspicious glances nt tho young man. Slowly lie drank his liquor, while he cast a steady, sidelong glance. He was satisfied that they were tho two men who had brushed past him so shortly before. ' "Have ydu any paper?" asked Brower to the man behind the bar. "I would like to write a note." The barkeeper fumbled around, mut tering that this "weren't no stationery store," and finally produced a soiled sheet. Pulling out Ills pencil Brower delib erately wrote his note. He then bought another drink and entered into con versation with the barkeeper, all the, time ftrlvlng to evolve some feasible plan lo effect the capture of the mur derers, as he believed them to be. Whatever his scheme might hnvo been It was effectually stopped by the parties abruptly taking their depart ure. "It will not do to lose Bight of them," thought Brower. "I'll follow them un til I run in with nn officer and put lilrn on their trail." llopldlv, and as he fancied unob served, he glided in their footsteps through dimly lighted streets and dark alloys, never onco losing sight of them. Suddenly they turned a corner and Brower quickened his gait. Alas for poor Browerl As he turned that corner, hot In pursuit, a heavy blow from the butt end of a revolver laid lilm low. Several more followed, but ho did not feel them. "Shall wo finish him?" said one of the dark figures, "No," spoke the other. "He's only a boy and don't know nothing, and ha could not hurt us any way," Unconscious nnd bleeding they left him, whero he was found at early diwn by a policeman, who rang for an am bulance and sent him to the hosoltal. Next day tho newsboys were- shout ing: "All ubout the double murder!" A bniik picsldent hud been murdered in his ow n home by burglars, A bravo policeman, who had caught them In tho net, also fell a. victim to the villains. The only cye-wltness to the deed was missing nnd the whole uffulr was u mystery. A half-dozen suspects were landed bahlnd prison bars, Brower could not be found at the olllce. AVe were scared, llownwls amounting to $10,090 were of fered for the detection of tho guilty parties. J.ate in tho afternoon of the third day n messenger came to mo saying I was wanted at the City hospital. Hur rying there 1 as shown to the surgi cal ward, where, on an Iron cot, lay poor Brower. Hastening to his eldo 1 grasped his hand. Tim sight of a familiar face worked a revolution, and hi mind dented In stantly. The nurses said he had been delirious mo3t pf the time. "Come," said he, "get me out of this pretty quick." 1 expostulated. But Brower was Arm In his determination. I knew the super intendent und got him to sign his re lease. "He's ull right now, so long ns he has his wits," said the superintendent. "He was more scared than hurt." Bundling him into a carriage I drove lit his request directly to the olllce of the chief of police. "Come," said Brower. He was cool and steady now Gaining our admittance. Brower pro jft0rti0$Q0xyijGRQfr I CHATS ABOUT; I ADVERTISING I 0000000p0JI00lQ00000p0p000 An Idea that the larger stores are the only ones thun can advertise suc cessfully seems to be prevalent among the proprietors of the smaller estab lishments of Scranton and vicinity. Tills idea Is a mistaken one. It Is true that the small dealein cannot af ford to use the large amount of ad vertising space that is used by the de partment stores, but they can use sufll clent space to tell the people about the goods they have for sale, with proflt to themselves proportionate to that of the larger stoies. The smaller dealers of other cities hav? found this to be true. I know of no other city the size of Scranton where so few small display advertisements by small ones 1 mean from one to six Inches are carried In the columns of thrt dally papers. 1 have on my desk u copy of a dally newspaper published In a city of 110,000 population, and In It I tlnd about eight columns of email display advertise ments, representing grocery, drug, shoe, dry goods and stntlonery stores, In surance agencies, barber shops, coal denlers, etc. It must pay the people to run these advertisements. They nre not spending their money for their health. The great fault with the few small ndvertlsers ot this city is, they seldom change their advertisements. Some never change them nt all, but they are content with simply stating their name, address and business. Such announce ments do not bring business. It la the fellow who tells why people should trade at his store, and gives good rea sons, too, who gets the business. Sure ly every merchant must have some good points about his store, some lino of goods of which he makes a special ty. Tell the public these facts in a straightforward way through the news papers, changing tho matter frequent ly, and If the space used be only two Inches, It Is bound to bring business. The Tribune proposes to do nil that it can to encourage the proprietors of tho many smaller stores hereabouts In the line of advertising, and, In order to help the good work along, we make tho following proposition: To nny such merchant who will use In tho columns of The Tribune a dis play advertisement occupying from one to six Inches, to be paid for at our reg ular card rates, we offer to send ono of our jepresentatlves, upon applica tion, to secure tho Information neces sary to make a good advertisement for his line ot business, write the adver tisement and change It frequently. AVe cannot promise to do this continually, but will do so for a reasonable period. Exaggerated Advertising. Some advertlsera, not the most suc cessful opes, however, expect their ad vertisements, unaided, to sell their goods. This idea iH a mistaken one. The advertisement will, If well written, and plainly and neatly displayed, bring people to your store, but right there ta whero the duty of the advertisement ends. It Is then altogether within tho power ot the merchant and his clerks to make a good customer of the person sent to tho store by the advertisement, or not. It may be that an article hns been advertised as being of the high est grade at a very low figure, but in reality it is a low-grade article, and although worth the price asked for It, FREE!

From beginning to end ho told all he knew of the murder how he recognized the two men in the snloon nnd followed them In the hopo of finding n officer; how ho had turned tho corner In hot pursuit, and there his narrutlvo ended, because that was as far as he went. "But what was your Idea of writing a note?" asked the chief. "Hero's the note," ald Brower, hand ing It to him. "You can read It your self." Onco glance at that soiled piece of pnper and the chief rose, striding over to where Brower sat, thrust out his hand, saying: "My boy, you've got the right stuff In you. That's the most welcome nolo I ever read." It was an accurate likeness of two of the most desperate criminals un hanged. Tho chief of police caught them and wo all saw them receive capital pun ishment. The reward was dlvded between Brower and tho detective who made the arrest, Brower getting the lion's share. "I guess I'll go over to Europe pretty soon," said Brower when the money was paid over to him. And he went. He did not write. Ae have never heard from him. This has been some years ago, but a friend of mine who l something of an urt critic tells me the last time he was In Paris he saw a painting by an American artist which was creating ,1 great furore in art clrcies. It was of one dog In twenty-seven different pos itions. The Owl. A WORD TO THE PROPRIE TORS OP SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZED STORES. It by no means the phenomenal bar gain advertised. The would-be buyer l" naturally disappointed, and leaves the store without making a purchase, and will have no confidence In the sub sequent advertising of tills house. Ex aggerated advertising does not pay. It breeds lack ot confidence, and a store In which the public Is losing confidence Is w 1th us for a short time only. There are manv other reasons why some merchants do not reap the bene fits they should from their advertising, but lack of space In this issue forbids further discussion on the subject at present. AVe will, however.delvo further into this question at another time. Small Points. Possibly your style ot advertising does not suit your business, or It may be your ads. aie poorly written, or not changed often enough. Portdbly the trouble is in your store. Look Into the matter. It Is surely an Important one. If you cannot locate tho matter with certainty, expeiiment a little with your style and system. Ask expert ndvlce. You are bound to succeed eventually. Remember that "Keeping everlast ingly at It brings success." If your ad vertising Is not paying you as it should, study it carefully and And out why. One thing Is sure: Advertising can be made to pay. Others are reaping profit from It continually; why not you? Don't be one of those back numbers who arc continually debating tho ques tion, "Does advertising pay?" Look around you, and you will tlnd a host of living examples testifying to the fact that It does pay, and pays well, A merchant may be selling or try ing to sell butter at a lower price than that advertised by one of his com petitors, but If he does not advertise the fact, how Is the public to know it? A conservative estimate places the expenditure for advertising In the United States for the year just passed at $300,000,000. The successful business houses ot every community aro the ones that do the best newspaper advertising. What Others Say. An advertisement which Is all cut up into sections by the use of different sorts or sizes of typo and borders and ornaments, Is like a handful of small pebbles. It is thrown at the reader, but doesn't mako nn impression on him. If tho advertisement is set so that It makes one complete, compact chunk, it will bo solid enough to make nn Impression when it strikes. If you want to hit a man you would a good deal rather hnve ono good-sized stone than a handful of sand. Bates, in Printers Ink. Profitable advertising has been found to bo a reasonable percentage of ex penditure steadily made In the best medium or mediums the appropriation wilt secure. The small ad run steadily with proper changes will eventually bring In more profit than the big oc casional display. Iteacli the eyes of all tho people you can all the time. If you ndvertlt-e extensively employ a bright, rellnblo adwrlter. Steer clear of the fakir In all things, advertising espec ially, Trade Register. Tell your story as though you be lieved it and tho telling strikes men and women, regardless of rank and class. Be sincere In your statements; mean what you say; say what you mean, and sav it with all your might. Talk in print us you would in person. Chicago Dry Goods Reporter. A fuilous shower does not soak in so well us a steady rain. A double-column advertisement once a year is not so good au a half-inch fifty-two times a year. Newspaperdom. It is true that advertising will not put merit into poor merchandise, but good merchandise often becomes poor for the want of good advertising, Paul Point. Worse.

"Be was very careless." remarked Mr, Orestes A'an Hamm. "Ho forgot tho prompt book twice," 'it's worse than that this time. He hos alloyed the company to come away without Its road mnp."
