Buying, adverti: ing Is every bit It not more luportant than buying merchandise. There is no sentiment about It. It’s sim- ply a question of reaching the greatest number of readers at the least expendi- diture, The purpose of advertising 1s to tell People what you want to sell. The new ‘Record’ reaches the people. Not a single evening since the first of the month have there been fess than 500 cep- fes circulated and ‘distributed. One day the total reached 1000 copies. More often ft Is G00 and 700 than 500 coples. Judl- cious advertising {s a money maker. Careless advertising {s not worth the time of writing the copy. s —_—_— . The visit of Hon. Mr. Cotton practically settled the fact that John Boultbee is to be: appointed police magistrate. Of course, Mr. Cotton would make no definite statement on the subject, beyond the assur- ance that it was a matter, which properly came under the jurisdiction of the attorney general. But then, it is a foregone conclusion that Mr. _ Cotton willsubmit to the wishesof Mr. Martin, M. P,, and the Hon. Attor- ney General (in this instance) will not go contrary to the suggestion of the Minister of Finance, so that we may expect, very shortly to have official notice of the new appoint- ment. In n upon the appoi ment of Mr. W. A. Carlyle, of Rossland, to his new position with tie Rio Tinto mines, the Victoria Times cails attention to the fact that he will receive a salary more thai three times that of the Premier of the Dominion of Canada, equal to half that paid by the people of the United States to their president, half as much as the Governor-Gen- eral of Canada receives, and the same salary that the Premier of the British Empire is paid as principal secretary of state for foreign affairs. It isas muchas the Rt. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain is paid as principal secretary of state for the colonies, twice as much as the Duke of Nor- folk gets as postmaster-general of Great Britain, the same as the Rt. Hon. A. J. Baliour gets as first lord of ‘the ‘treasury, and the Mar- quis of Lansdowne as the secretary of state for war, and Sir Matthew White Ridley as home secretary, as much as the attorney-general of Ireland and as the lord-advocate of Scotland, and far more than many a foreign ruler draws. The case of Mr. Carlyle may be taken as an ex- ample of what men of brains and energy can rise to in the science of| mining engineering, and of the im- perial rewards that await those who prove their worth. SHORT STORIES, General Meigs was the architect of the pension office in Washington and. was inordinately proud of his When G 1 Sher- idan inspected the building, General Meigs accompanied him. Sheridan went thoroughly over the building from top to bottom without passing any comment, but when his inspec- tion was. completed, he turned to his guide with: ‘Well, Meigs, I have only one fault to find.with it.” ‘‘What is that?" asked the delight- ed ex-quartermaster-general, ‘It’s fire-proof," replied Sheridan. John Clerk, afterward known: as Lord Eldin, was limping down the High street of Edinburgh one day when he heard a young lady remark to her companion, ‘That is the fa- mous John Clerk, the lame law- yer.” He turned and ‘said, with his not unwonted courseness, ‘*You lie, ma’aml I am a lame man, but not a lame lawyer.” Lord Justice Brax- field, too, appears to have failed in courtesy to .the fair sex; for, when told that a brother judge would not sit that day, on’ account of just hav- ing lost his wife, he who was fitted with a Xantippe, replied, ‘‘tlas he? that is a gude excuse, indeed; I wish we had a’ the same.” Frank L. Stanton tells in the At- lanta Constitution of a couple who applied to a rural justice of the peace for total divorce. The justice called the bailiff and asked in a whisper, “What's the law on that pin’t?” “You can’t do it,” replied the bai- liff, ‘‘it don't come under your juris- diction.” ‘‘We're willing to pay cash for it,” replied the husband, not understanding the nature of the consultation; ‘I’ve got the money in this-here stockin’.” The justice looked grave. Then, adjusting his spectacles and Jooking grave at the man, he said; ‘‘You know’d before you came here that ’twarn’t fer me ter separate husband an’ wife, and yet, you not only take np the time o’ this here valuable court with yer talkin’ but akchully .perpose ter bribe me ‘with money! Now, how much have you got in that stockin?” .“* ‘Bout six dollars an’ a -half, yer honor.” “All right, then, I fine you five dollars fer bribery, an’ a dollar an’ a half .fer takin’ up my time with a case what my jurisdic- tion is out of, an’ may the herd have mercy on yer soul!” About the middle of the Civil War a freshly appuinted colonel, with a newly enlisted regiment, joined the Union forces in the far South. One bright October morning word was received that a small detachment of General Wheeler's cavalrymen were on the other side of the hill, and a force started out in* pursuit. The next day the: Confederates were re- ported miles distant in the opposite direction. The third day the new colonel and a veteran brigadier started out for a pleasure ride. A mile from camp they rode into the fugitive Confederates. It was a narrow escape, but they got away unharmed. After it was over the general said to the colonel: ‘*Well, what do you think of war now?” ‘Is Wheeler in this neighborhood much of the time? replied. the colonel, evasively. ‘‘Allthe time?” He is here, there and everywhere.” What do you think of the prospect?” ‘*Well,” answered the colonel, re- flectively, ‘‘I wonder whether there isn’t some way. this infernal thing can be compromised.” BUSINESS LOCALS.

Seven Lengths ‘Tested and Each One Leaked Badly, Seven tests ofthe 1000 feet of hose furnished the fire department by the manufacturers of the Keystone brand of hose have been made, three of tiem yesterday and four today. The city officials: are certainly not satisfied with the result of the tests. ‘The hose was guaranteed ‘to. stan the test of 500 pounds pressure and Chief Guthrie was inclined to favor the purchase of this hose as-he had seen it tested at McGill College, in Montreal, up to over 500 pounds pressure without either sweat or leak, and up to 720 pounds without bursting. When the hose arrived here the. couplings, which . were made by a St. John, N. B., firm, were found to be so defective that they had been; ;refused and new couplings were then sent out from the.firm of Garth‘& Co., Montreal. These have been proven all right and stood the test. The hose, how- ever, is not.in the,same shape. The first length tested; sweat at’ 250 jounds pressure and leaked at 400 pounds. The second sweat at 130 pounds and leaked at 475 pounds. The third leaked at 345 pounds without sweating. The fourth sweat at 150 pounds and again at 250 pounds at another place; and leaked in both places at 300 pounds. The fifth, sweat at 250 pounds and leaked at 375 pounds. Thesixth, sweat-at pounds. ‘The seventh, sweat at 250 pounds and leaked at 475 pounds. All secen lengths were tested up to 500 pounds pressure without burst- ing. The council will probably hold a special session to take action in the matter. BUSINESS CARDS. DR. 4. MILLoy, DENTIST.
