Did you ever pick up a papor published at a strange town and see a large showy advertisement without thinking to yourself or saying to your neighbor, " That man must be doing an Immense business, or forming a resolution to visit tuat Arm the first opportunity?

It is even said that tho met al annually turned into pens, weighs more than all the metal used during I a year In all the war implement fac tories of the world. Should this be true it emphasizes the saying, "The pen is mightier than tho sword." It is astonishing how many business men can be talked into tak ing space In a chart, or frame, or reg ister, or some other thing that has no excuso for existence. A schemer will get more for his worthless card than a country publisher would. It is people who have been thus duped who complain that advertising does not pay. Last week a gentleman called at our office and desired to see a paper nub)lshed at a certain town. He wished to make some collections and 'was after some attorney's address. Jo found, just one lawyer's name in itlie'paper and gave him the business. Now there are Ave attorneys in the place, and out of that number four were foolish and one was wise, he kept his name before the public. King Leopold was operated up on successfully Tuesday. The sur geons found no trace of tumor pres ence in the intestines which had been feared. The trouble was due to simple obstruction. The king is now resting quietly.

W. D. Rowe and his family, who reside at Adelia, were awakened about 2 o'clock on Wednesday morn ing by the Incessant blowing of the whistle of one of the Erie and Wyo ming Railroad Company's locomo tives. On arising, they discovered their barn burning fiercely. They at once began to get out the cattle that were in the barn, and succeeded in getting all their horses and eleven cows out safely, six cows being de stroyed, together with all tho crops they had gathered, and a gasolene engine, lumber wagon, top buggy, harness, and a number of farm Im plements. How the fire originated is a mystery to Mr. Rowe, and wore it not for the fact that Engineer Will Roberts saw the fire from his engine, and gave the alarm, Mr. Rowe would have suffered a much greater loss, for this timely warning enabled him to save some of his stock. "The Traveling Salesman," by James Forbes, author of "The Chorus Lady," will be seen In this place on Monday evening, December 27. This play has broken all previous box ofilce records of tho current theatri cal season, and not since the palmy days of Charles Hoyt has any com edy enjoyed such a protracted vogue as this James Forbes offering and it must be written down as one of the real successes of the present season that has scored an Important suc cess. Its success Is due to the author who put flesh and bloo,d people Into the play of amusing and realistic types that are instantly recognized as truthful and accurate reproduc tions. Its situations are so capital ly true to life that people can enjoy themselves over - and over again. There Is a ring that fascinates throughout the comedy and its scenes are made wonderful by absolute ver ity and. there is not a flaw in Its local color, atmosphere qr its general characteristics. The play is mani festly the fruit of sharp yet tolerant observation with extremely comical reflections that have their source in, a satiny and philosophical mind.

This new ideal iron horse will be double in tractive pow er to anything now in use and will equal in efficiency what is known as the Mallet compound type, which is a far larger machine.
