- " & 3fr& tt- 21 THE COURIER. L DUADS. A frwt-kce m nunc orchard bow no fruit: Envy, the worm, wax canker at the root. Tfce north-wind's bitterness, the south-wind's mirth; Thk freezes life, thai plenty bums to dearth. To work this wrath God needs no Titan band. Hk lktle locust eats the fertile land. The wheat yet green I counted up the sheeves; The hot-south blew, the field was withered leaves. The priest prayed HeaWn for ram down pour'd a 'torrent; -S Through all hk parish, prayer was held abhorrent. IDYLA. r ' Often jou hear an expert ny, "I should be satisfied to retire upon the money that is wasted annunlly by such and Buch a firm." But in no other busi- nrss is there so much money wasted as in the business of advertising. Whether a large advertisement, in a daily paper ever pajs is an open question; but there a no question that a small, ordinary ad vertisement nevet pays. It is lost in the ruck; it cannot be found without diffi culty even by him who has inserted it and has a special object in discovering it; the general reader never notices it You know that you always throw away the advertising sheet of your newspaper; observation will convince you that other people do the same thing. You know that, after a careless glance at the ad vertising columns you turn to the news; other people an equally intelligent. Yet in the sheet that is thrown aside, or in the columns that are ignored, are thous ands of dollars worth of advertising, and you or your firm may have contributed some of the wasted dollars. At the btst, aa advertisement in a daily paper is only for the day. The only advertising that really paj s is in a good weekly paper, which is carefully read, is taken home to the family, is preserved for reference, and is often bound into a volume for the library. In any other line of business theee facts would be considered and acted upon; but in advertising men seem to go wild snd recklessly throw away money. In fact I have heard apparently sane merchants say, "We never adver tise in the weeklies!" wbich is equiva lent to saying, 'We never advertise where our advertisements will ba read!" Town Topics.

Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the discs se', and giving the patient strengtn by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer one Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.

We have purchased (because It Is Just the thing we have needed) the Columbia Cyclopedia Library, con sisting of the Columbian encyclopedia, which Is also an unabridged dictionary thirty-two volumes of convenient size neatly bound, four volumes of thean nual cyclopedic review, four volumes of current hlstoryfor 1896, one Columbian atlas and the neat convenient revolving oak cas ewlth glass doors. From the evidence obtained we find that some part of this work is placed in the best private and public library In this country an dabroad. for the reason that .they cover a field relative to the past, present and future progress and achievements of the human race not attempted by others. The plan is original, and the work throughout Is carefully and ably written. Current history contains 229 pages, is Issued two months after the close of each quarter, this length of time being taken to reduce all information received to be an absolutely reliable and authentic basis. If these are kept on file, this magazine will prove a permanent and Invaluable record of all Important movements In political, social religious, literary, educational scientific and Industrial affairs. The magazine will be indispensible to all people who have encyclopedias, as It will be needed to keep these works up to date. To those who do not own encyclopedias it wl'l be doubly valuable as their source of Information Is more limited. About March of each year the four volumes of current history are bound lnio one volume, known as the Annual Cyclopedic Re view. There are now four of these bound volumes covering yearsl892-3-4 and 5. The work has for endorsers and subscribers in this city and stats such people as Mr. Gere, edltor-Inchief of the Lincoln State Journal., Hon. Joe Bartley. state treasurer, Hon. W. J. Bryan. Mr. Miller, editor of the Northwestern Journal of Education, Hon. H. B, Cofett, state supirintend ent of public instruction. Dr. R. E. Giffen. Every reading person has felt the need of brief summaries of current topics and events. The dally, weekly and monthly periodicals and papers raay furnish data sufficient, but the labor of collecting and digesting It la frequently out of proportion to the re sult obtained. A most satisfactory summary may be found In the quar Journal has been of invaluable service terly issues of Current History. This In the library covering a field that no other attempts.
