Where Advertising Paid.
It pays to advertise. This is a trite
saying, but it is none the lees truthful
because trite. Listen to the story which
the Philadelphia North American tells of
the reward a Milford, Del., woman re-
ceived because she advertised. She was
a widow, sad and lonely. When the ev*
ening shadows fell she looked and longed
for the return of the husband of herbos*
om, but he came not. And she sat down
to a oompaniouiess supper, and the even¬
ings and mornings wore away. Thus it
might have gone on forever had not the
newspaper—that en^ghteniug and civil¬
izing agency—come to her assistance.
She advertised. And why not? She
was wasting her charms on a desert
household. Many a gem of purest ray
serene the dark, unloaded, widowed
households bear. Bo she advertised and
of the replies there were seven baskets
full. But as she only needed one, she
exercized care and judgment in the as*
sortment ot the replies, and, as a result,
there will shortly bo a wedding in Mon¬
tana. In that far off State another
“sweeter self'’ was astray—he was, a
bachelor, and his heart yearned across
the great American desert to the spot
where another heart was yearning o» foil
time—and with the aid of that Civilising
agency Cupid has again scored. The
lmchelor has money; tie widow has en
porieuce. What more ta needed? May
they be happy and instil in their grow¬
ing progeny the maxim that it always
pays to advertise.

An interesting ease came before a Buf¬
falo court the other day. It was baaed,
upon one woman’s remark about anoth¬
er. “She used pads to fill out her figure
and make the boys think she is a stun*
nnr,” the defendant is alleged to have
said of the plaintiff. The law presumes
a defendant to bo innocent until proved
guilty. Tbeonusof the burden of proof,
therefore, wim upon the plaintiff to show
that aha did not use pads, and that the
defendant had slandered her. Ths jury
was largely composed of uumarried men,
Whose ignorance of feminiuine make-ups
peculiarly fitted them for rendering im¬
partial judgment. After voluminous
testimony, vigorous cross examinations
|and many explanations, the jury return¬
ed a sealed verdict.
