Cleveland Leader.
In 1757 a merchant in London, by
the name of Bliss advertised for a
clerk and selected from the appli
cants Richard W. Vaughn, who, af
ter a time, succeeded in winning the
confidence of his employer to such
an extent that the clerk was taken
to the merchant’s home and made a
welcome visitor. Mr. Bliss had a
young sister with whom Mr. Vaughn
immediately fell in love, and as his
application for the position of broth
er-indaw was of ranch move conse¬
quence than hisformer one for clerk¬
ship his past record was carefully
searched and it was found that he
had mot with a disastrous failure in
business some years previous and
consequently he was a bankrupt,
with many liabilities and unpaid
debts. He was told that ho could
never be accepted as a suitor for the
young lady’s hand until everybody
he owed had been pain in full. He
seemed discouraged at the decision
and expressed the opinion that it
was impossible, hut in a short time
he returned to his lady love’s family
with the happy intelligence that he
had fallen heir to a large property
and could more than liquidate all
his debts. He showed a number of
hank notes in proof of his assertion
and actually gave Miss Bliss five
new twenty-pound notes.
About, this time the authorities at
the Bank of England were much
troubled by the appearance of a few
forged notes. With little difficul¬
ties detectives traced them to Rich¬
ard Vaughn. lie admitted his guilt.
It was attempted at this trial to
prove he had not meant to put them
in circulation, hut only to win a wife
with ihem. This defense, how-ever,
was useless, as he had passed them.
He was found guitly of the crime of
fogcry, which in those days was a
capital offense and he paid the pen¬
alty of his misdeeds on the scaffold.
History does not state what become
of the girl who was the innocent
temptation.
Vaughn has the doubtful honor
of having led the way in bank-note
fogery. At that time an imitation
was a much easier matter than it is
at present, the note itself being on¬
ly partially engraved, the amount,
the name of the payee and signarure
of the cashier being supplied in
writing.

The Georgia Bloodhounds.
Let me tell you what a Georgia
bloodhound can do, and lie can he
made to do this any fair day at Old
town camp. A convict sleeping in
one bunk of a hundred, shod and
lad precisely as the liundered con¬
victs about him, may slip his chain
and flee. Ten miles aways he may
meet his fellow prisoners again, may
run to and fro among them, may
walk with them a mile and leave
them. Six hours after these hounds
put on his track where he slipped
from the camp, will follow him to
where he met his gang, will thread
his track in and about the-r hund
reds of track, take it up wher* he
leaves them, and run him down,
though he cross convict gangs every
mile he runs. I his escaping convict,
clap in stripes cut from the same
bolt with ahunderd others, may run
through the woods, touching weeds
and hushes as he runs. Fifty con¬
victs, clad as lie was clad, may run
through the same woods in every di¬
rection. The dogs will hold his scent,
running full tilt, breast high. If he
makes a curve of 45 degrees the dogs
will not run the line, but will catch
his scent 30 yards away and cross
angle thongh it were filled with the
convicts who had eaten and slept
with the fugitive. Often a dog will
carry a scent in gallop, running par
ailed 30 yards to the windward. An
uncanny and terrible little beast is
the red-hone hound, trained for the
hunting of man,
Mrs. Caroline A.-Smith, mother of
Col. C. II. Smith (Bill Arp), died at
the residence of her son-in-law, Capt.
II. D. Cothran, in Rome Tuesday,
-i The Elder Got Ahead.
Old Potiphas Bledsoe, of the Sou¬
thern Tier, is an authority on horses
and punister9, and this one of his ex¬
periences: “I never knowed Dr. Ex
peters to git beat but onct in my life,
and that was done by Elder Smiles,
who worked the Tioga circuit down
in Pcnnsylvany. This ’ere Expi
tcn» had a bay filly that Elder Smiles
wanted, an’ he offered Expoters a
big brown gelding which ’ud weigh
about twelve hundred, even up for
the filly. You see the elder wanted
ihat-fv&y mighty had to ride on his
circuit. But this ’ere Expetcrs ask¬
ed the Elder $14 boot money, an’ the
elder hemmed and hawed ’round con¬
siderable, ’an went off finally, an’
there warn’t no trade that day.—
But in about a week arter this ’ere
Expetcrs dropped in on the elder in
a careless way like, an’ the question
of the boss trade cum up, and this
’ere Expcters says:
“ Ball, elder, I’ve been athinkin’
considerable about what we said the
last time we talked boss, an’ the
more I thought the more the Lord
seemed to he whisperin’ in my car—
‘Let the elder have the filly, let the
elder have the filly.’ The Lord
seemed to kinder put it to me in the
light of a duty I owed the cause, an’
s*», elder, if you say so, the filly’s
your’n, and I’ll take gelding.’
U ( Wall,’ says the elder, ‘if what
you say is true, it would rather look
like my duty to take the filly, con¬
siderin’ all the circumstances, an’
you don’t know how grateful I am
to you, Brother Expcters, aH’ if you
say trade its a trade.’
4< i All right,’ said this ere Expe
ters, an’ they shook hands on it.
“‘I gnoss,’ says the elder, ‘I’ll go
over and get the filly now.’
n . That’ll he all right,’ says this
ere Expcters, an’ these two Chris¬
tians went up to Expcters’ paster,
an’ when they got to the bars they
found the filly lying there as dead
as a kit of pickled white-fish. The
elder looked at the filly, an’ then he
look at Deacon Expcters, who was
whittlin’ the top of the fence and
chewin’ a splinter, lie never looked
up at the elder onct.
<i < That’s my filly, ain’t it?’ said
the elder quietly.
(( 4 Yes, that’s your boss, Elder , i
said this ere Expetcrs.
“ ‘And you still stick to it that it’s
a trade?’
“ ‘Yes, it’s a fair trade,’ said this
ere Ezpetcrs, kinder dogged like.
“‘All right,’ said the elder,‘I’ll
go up to your house an’ git a claw
hammer an’ a cold chisel an’ take
the shoes off. I took them off the
gelding which died last night afore
the trade was consummated. The
shoes appear to he ’bout all I’m ahead
on the dual.

Smart Enough for That.
“I’ve turned that hired man off,”
said a Dakota farmer to his wife on
coming into the house, “he was no
good.”
“What was the matter—he looked
like a smart fellow?”
“Ob, he was smart’/tough I s’pose,
but he didn’t know nothing ’bout
farmin’. The blamed fool didn’t
know ’hough to water the hosses. I
told him to go out and clean up some
seed wheat and I'm darned if he
didn’tjask me where the soap was.”
“I don’t know what’ll become of
the poor feller—’pears ’sif he could¬
n’t get hi* livin’ on a farm nohow.”
“Oh, don’t you worry ’bout him,
Sary. He’ll fool ’round till Spring
and then go and startan agricultural
paper- somew’ere.”

The Lunatic Asylum
From the Atlanta Constitution.
Few men understand the
and importance of Georgia’s Luna¬
tic Asylum. The annual appropria
tion, for instance, is $180,000, and
since Governor McDaniel has been
in office, about four years,
has been spent in addition to the
nual fund. This makes the annual
•outlay nearly $250,000. There
about 1,500 inmates, and more ap¬
plicants for whom there is no room.
No charge is made for patients,
formerly. It will be seen that
cost per capita is about $125 a year.
r lhe $250,000 extra
were for building two
for convalenscents and the other
colored patients. “The past few
years has witnessed,” said a gentle¬
man conversant with the fac‘s,
revolution in the treatment of insane
in the Geergia Asylum. Moral sua¬
sion and kindness have taken the
place of harsher means. The crib
bedstead, the straight jacket, the
shower baths, and other devices of
refined torture are almost unknown.
You might be taken into the
of the Asylum at night after slipper
and you would not see the slightest
difference in the ladies and gentle¬
men gathered there and a similar as
semh'y in any other parlor. You
would hear as good music, as intel¬
ligent conversation as you would
hear anywhere. Of course the
and more violent patients are not to
he seen there. Matrons or nurses
walk through the parlors, and if they
note any one becoming excited they
quietly remove the person so effect¬
ed before there is any scene. It is
a curious study—a night in the par¬
lor or corridor of the Georgia Asy¬
lum.”

An old lady read a paragraph in
one of the papers the other day, de¬
scribing hovv a grindstone burst in a
saw-null and killed four men. She
happened to remember that there
was a small grindstone down in her
cellar, leaning against the wall; so
she went out and got an accident
insurance policy, and then, summon¬
ing her servant, and holding a pie
board in front of her face so that if
the thing exploded her face would
not be injured, had the stone taken
out into the road, where twenty-four
pails of water wevc thrown over it
and a stick was stuck in the hole
bearing a placard marked “danger¬
ous.” She says it is a mercy the
hole house was not blown to pieces
by the thing before this.

A MERCHANT PRINCE.
FURNISHES SOME FACTS OF PRIME IM¬
PORTANCE TO ADVERTISERS.
Ph iladelphia Record.
Mr. William II. Wanamakcr, a
member of the Philadelphia firm of
Wanamakcr & Brown, on a brief
business trip to Louisville, where the
firm has a fiounshing branch estab¬
lishment, has been giving his views
on the general subjedt of advertising
in the Louisville Commercial. His
opinion and experience will be read
with interest. He says: “Some year*
.we have spent over a quarter of a
million dollars in advertising, and
you can readily see that we have
given the subjoet very much practi¬
cal trial, and have studied it theore¬
tically as a science. In all the these
years we have watched the returns
carefully from every standpoint we
have taken, and are now prepared to
give our unqualified opinion that
-more and better returns arc given to
us through the newspapers than all
the other means ever tried.”
“We advertise every day in the
year,” said Mr. IF., “except Sunday.
'1 here is always some tiade doing,
even in the dullest season, and we
strive to divert the floating or tran¬
sient trade to our place. Again,
when business ordinarily is dull, peo¬
ple who see our invitations in the
newspapers are more apt to read
them, for the season that they have
more time to read, and there are few¬
er advertisements then. Many mer
chants who have been in business for
a certain number of years will say:
“Oh, we are so well known it is no
use for us to advertise.” There nev¬
er was a greater mistake. B e would
as soon think of conceling our msur
ance policies as our advertising COll
tracts, li e spend more money with
newspapers each year that goes by;
there are more people tv ho want
goods, and new trade is alway s com
ing to the surface. Advertising that
is well done is cumulative in its
character. It is like the compound¬
ing of interest. An advertisement
inserted in a daily paper one day
" * H all probability, make a good
return to the merchant who has the
goods the people want at the right
prices; each successive advertieinent
that he puts in gains an impetus and
influence from the original one, and
so it counts up until the name of the
linn gets what is equivalent to the
‘good will’ of a successful business,
besides deriving the direct profit
from immediate sales caused by the
advertising. To advertise well a mer
chant should give as much care, to
Ills newspaper space as he does to
any other department of the husi
ness. As a general thing a merchant
can well afford to spend in newspa
P er advertising from onc-thrid to
one-fifth the amount of all his other
total expenses. Il a man in business
talks as earnestly through his news
P a I ,<ir when he is addressing one or
two hundred thousand people, simu¬
ltaneously, as when he is talking to
one customer, he cannot fail to mako
a success of newspaper advertising.’

Newspapers,
Daniel Webster.
Small is the sum that is required
to. patronize a newspaper, and amply
rewarded is its patron, I care not
how humble and unpretending the
gazette he takes. It is next to im¬
possible to fill a sheet with printed
matter without putting into it some
thing that is worth the subscription
price. Every parent whose son is
.away from home at school should
supply him with a newspaper. I well
remember what a marked constrast
there was between those of my
schoolmates who had or had not ac¬
cess to the newspapers. Other things
being equal, the first were always
decidedly superior to the last in de¬
bate, compositon and intelligence.
