MUNICIPAL ADVERTISING.
The Citizen's Business League,
in the work it is irtjiaring for the
benefit ot the city ami surround
ing country, might draw a few
suggestions from the following
article taken from White's Sayings

business people of a town would
contribute a certain sum a month
for advertising purposes, then have

literature, send it broadcast in
answer to newspaper and mag

experience rnday while going to
the Maurv dance. He rode up to

on the bed and went to slwp, lie.
hadn't slept long when he wasi
suddenly awakened by a strange;
sound in the house. He looked'
around to discover the cause ol tliv r
disturbance and bis eyes fell on u i
tall white figure standing at the i
foot of tl.e bed. He watched the:
motionless object for some tin e
standing there within arm's length,!
and then the figure moved towards'
him. It came up to the bed nnd ;
down at Dick with uu
awful stare. Dick tried to speak,
hut he lot his voice, and then he
tried to kiek the -object but hi
legs refused to work. Soon the
figure in its long white ( robes
moved over to the bed and stroked
Dick's face with a soft white but
very cold hand. Dick likes to be
'tted so he closed his eves and
when lie opened them again the
room was empty. Dick Longed to
get away so be got on his horse
and never looked haek until the
half was reached. Some of the
young ladies asked hiin if he had
been painting. Dick said "Xo,
but I've been fainting."
