FORO PPEMbO Te rece mee eens enna avery postoffice inthe covaty, who will publication the contents of which are lnieresting enough to attract readers is a goed medium for ad- | vertisers, no matter how limited |its circulation may be. A publi- ‘on | Oation that 18 ‘poorly edited, and filled with indifferent matter, is}, not agood medium, no matter how many hundred thousand ‘copies ¥ Snrewd advertisers can decides | |for themselves as to the worth of aoy publication offered them. : Its contents can speak more truth-| fully than its solicitor.. The true advertising value lies in the inter est it has forthe reader, because such interest alone will attract readers. Nobody ‘buys a paper or & Magazine becauce ton thous- and other peoplé buy it. They purchase it for the information or entertainment it affords, and if it has a reputation for supplying this it is sure to be well patroniz- ed, and to grow in circulation that is of real yalue to the advers tiser. There may be exceptions, but, a8 a general rule, good print- ing and good make-up usually accompany good matter in a pub- lication, The reyerse 1s usually true of any paper thatis careless. ly edited. If you are seeking in- telligent buyers, your choice of mediums should be governed by the foregoing considerations and you will seldom find yourself as-— tray. neal eae ac sae seasoned How a Letter May Be Recalled Many times people would like to recall a letter after ic has been mailed. This can.be done, even fthe letter has reached the post- office at its destination. At every postoffice there are what 1s called | “withdrawal blanks.” On applica- tion they will be furnished and, when’ deposit is made to cover the expense, the postmaster will telegraph to the postmaster at the letter’s destination asking that it be promptly returned. The applicant first sigus this agree- ment: °“[t is hereby agreed that, if the letter is returned to me, I \ will protect you from any and all claims made against you for such return and will fully indemnify you for any Icss you may sustain by reason for such action. And I herewith deposit ¢— to cover all expenses incurred and will deliv— ér to you the envelope of the let- ter returned.” In many cases persons have made remittances to fraudulcnt parties or irresponsi- ble firms, not learning their true character untal after the letter had gone, and have succeeded 1n re- calling them. There isan instance where a Kansas City merchant had remitted a disnonest trayel- ing mana draft for $175 and by means of a withdrawal rescued the draft just in time.—Globe Demo- crat. ee Why the South is Poor. - we “Why the South is Poor” is the subject of an editorial in the Manufacturers’ Record of last week.

Wives with lazy husbands will appreciate the following dialogue, borrowed from the Washington Star: “Josiar,” Mrs. Corntossel, “it’s comin’ along purty near ‘lection time.”’ “So ic is.” “1 s’pose they'll be a lot o’ fool wagers made.” , “There usually is.” “Well, if you git drawed into any of’em,I hope you'll let me: make a suggestion. Me and Jabez Stackins’s wife hez been a-talkin’ it over, an’ ez long ez ye're of| opposite political beliefs, we thought ye might come together.” “Ye don’t want me to resk my money agin Jabez's do ye?” “No. It’s wrong to bet money. But we thought. thet, instid o’ havin’ one man wheel the other ‘round the country in a wheelbar- row, er vowin’ not to shave off his whiskers, you an’ Jabez could agree that the loser should carry in two armtul of wood every day all winter. It seems ter me thet a ‘lection bet of thet kind ’ud be real interestin’ an’ humorous.” = —_ In Germany the man who loses both his hands 10 an accident can claim the whole ot his life insurance money, if he be insured, on the ground that he has lost the means of maintainz himself.

Then, turn- ing in his chair, the physician said: “T cannot see that anything serious is the matter with you.
