The Spirit of Later
Day Advertising
As we have said before,- the
purpose of THE ENTERPRISE
is first of all to serve its read
ers. To do this is not only the
right moral attitude toward our
constituency -but it is good busi-.
ness, speaking from a purely
business standpoint.
And so it is that we point out
from day to day the advertising
. features of this paper and the
advantages to be gained from
keeping posted in all the news
thus presented.
The spirit of advertising is
different today from that of a
few years ago. The idea no
longer is to fool and to misrep
resent, but to inform and to in-.
vite. And it is the constant aim
of the good merchant to stick
resolutely to facts.
It is this spirit on the part of
advertisers that makes for con
fidence and enables us to direct
the attention of our readers to
the profitable practice of "ad"
reading, feeling that in so doiug
we render them a distinct serv
ice. ' Oral Welch has returned from Ann

A Young Man's
Scheme
"By M. QUAD
Copyright, -1913. by Associated Lit
erary Press.
"Gaul durn her picture, but I love
her!"
The young mnn who uttered the
words was at work in the field, and he
straightened up to rest his weary back
and mutter-
"And I'll make her love nie before
I'm through with her! She may think
I don't amount to shucks, but all I
want Is a chance to prove that I do.
Durn farm work! Durn widders! Durn
love! Durn everything!"
He kicked the fence to show his dis
gust and wearily resumed work. Ebe
nezer Schermerhorn. hired man, was
in love with the Widow Tompkins,
whose farm adjoined that of his boss
on the west. Ebenezer was twenty
four years old, plain of face and un
gainly of form aad without a hundred
dollars' worth of property.
One evening as he dropped in to see
the widow about borrowing some farm
implement next day he found her read
ing a love story. She read a few chap
ters to him and afterward acknowl
edged that she had always been ro
mantic and that if she ever married
again it would be to a hero.
The farmer's hired man didn't rush
right off that night and try to be a hero,
but sat down and did some thinking.
Three or four days after Ebenezer's
thinking bee a tramp came along the
road and. seeing the young man hoeing
corn just over the fence, halted for a
word or two. Ordinarily Ebenezer
would have leaped the fence and run
the wayfarer half a mile, but on this
occasion he Invited him over to the
corn and sat down with him for a con
fidential conversation. The result of
that conversation was that at 8
o'clock that evening the tramp appear
ed before the Widow Tompkins and
made threats of what he would do if
she didn't set out victuals, hunt up old
clothes and come down with a dollar
in cash.
Ebenezer was not far away just far
enough to come running up and knock
the tramp head over heels and rescue
the widow. But as he started to come
running be fell down and got tangled
up with the. bushes, and before he
could get away the widow had broom
sticked the tramp Into - flight She
didn't say she was glad that the would
be hero was so near at hand. What
she did say was that she wasn't afraid
of any tramp walking the roads.
Ebenezer's first try was a failure,
but within a fortnight he was ready
for another. Two or three farmhouses
in.the township had been robbed, and
this fact became the basis for his sec
ond plan. One night at midnight he
left his bed, descended to earth by
way of a window, and. armed with a
club, he became a guard for the wid
ow's house. He circled around it and
patrolled the garden and the orchard,
and he felt that he would give a year
of his life if a robber would appear.
He would first fell- him and then arouse
the bouse, and when the widow, came
to know that he had been guarding her
for love her heart would melt toward
him.
But no robber camp. Instead of that
bis footsteps nwoke the widow, and,
peering out. she saw some one walking
about, mid she got a shotgun and raised
a window and blazed away. The gun
was lo:ided with bird shot to shoot
hawks that might come swooping down
on chickens, but in this case they an
swered )ust as well for a man. Eben
ezer m-eived about twenty of them
and ran two miles to a dpctor to have
them picked out. He also had a va
cation from work for a week under
the excuse that he had sprained his
back turning over in bed.
Ninety-nine out of every hundred
would be heroes would have given up
right here, but Ebenezer was a man
to hang on. It was while he was limp
ing around on his vacation and doing
a lot of standing up and wandering
over the fields that he came upon the
widow fishing in the river at a certain
point. He did not show himself, but
fifty feet from where she sat under a
tree he discovered a bumblebees' nest
in the grass. It was a large and lib
eral nest, and it gave him a thought
The bees wouldn't bother anybody so
long as they were let alone. If stirred
up they would look for meat
There was a haystack not far' away,
and Ebenezer had matches In his
pocket He retired behind the stack
and collected a hatful of stones from
the plowed land. These he threw one
by one at the spot where the bees
were pursuing the even tenor of their
ways. The plot thickened. You can
thicken a bumblebee plot In a very
short time. All you've got to do is to
trend on their coattails. When the In
sects found the rocks dropping on their
heads they swarmed out of the grass
to look for the enemy. They should
have gen the widow and descended
upon her. and at her first shriek Eb
enezer would come charging down
with a wisp of lighted hay In either
hand. But things went wrong. The
bees then went Sot 'him alone. They
is About What it Will Cost
tan him up and down tne ii'iysT !! '..
they ran him over fences .ami ha k
they ran him across lots and in -;rHes
and when they finally loft him and Tic
fell down the widow came forward and
asked:
"But why were yotrsuch a fool?"
"Because I want you to marry me!"
he groaned in reply. "And you said
you would marry n hero. I thought the
bees would attack you and I could rush
in and save you."
"Why. you great idiot! I've been
ready to say yea any day for the !wst
three months."
HAZARDOUS MAIL ROUTES.
Postmen In Some Countries Are .Never
Sure of Their Lives.
The camel postman In the Sahara
hasn't any cinch that is. if he has a
family he's anxious to live for or hap
pens to be leading a care free bachelor
existence, for he needs all the nerve
that'he can possibly summon on every
trip that he makes, for the wild tribes
regard him as their particular prey,
and he never does know when he starts
out whether or not he is going to reach
his destination.
Neither has the postman in some
parts of Switzerland the safest job in
the world. In fact, in several places in"
that country It is considered Just about
the most dangerous profession that a
man can enter.
You see some of the postoffices are
situated at a height of 7,000 feet There
Is even a letter box at the summit of
Languarti. which Is nearly 10,000 feet
above the sea level. Here all sorts of
disastrous things have happened to un
fortunate carriers of mail. Three have
been crushed to death by avalanches
and a large number swooped down
upon and killed by fierce eagles.
Then in India the postman always
has to be on the lookout for snakes. It
is claimed that within the last year
150 were killed by snake bites and
twenty-seven eaten by tigers.
Queer, isn't it, when In this country
the business of being a postman seems
about the most harmless and least dan
gerous of any a man could pick out?
In parts of Siberia they have only
two mail deliveries a year, while in the
interior of China they have no regular
delivery or regular postman. Chicago
Tribune.
Primrose Cures.
The primrose of old was credited
with a medicinal as well as a super
stitious value. Even now in some coun
try parts of England a decoctioA of
primrose leaves is supposed to restore
a failing memory, and In 1654, when
Culpeper wrote his "London Dispensa
tory," the primrose was regarded as
an almost universal panacea, curing
"convulsions, falling sickness, palsies,
etc.." and strengthening "the - brain,
senses and memory exceedingly." And
even the healthy did not disdain to
eat it. for primrose pasty was once a
popular Lancashire delicacy. London
Standard.
"Pleased to Meet You."
The Americans have a polite habit
on being presented to a new acquaint
ance of uttering the words. "Pleased
to meet you," although upon what the
pleasure can rest, or how they know
that it is a pleasure, or why an ordi
nary incident which is not the fulfill
ment of any anticipation and which
may turn out to lie very disagreeable,
should be pronounced at sight to be
pleasant I have never been able to un
derstand. Loudon Saturday Review.
Taking Their Turn.
' "Why station a policeman beside this
park bench?"
"It Is newly painted."
"He can't keep people from testing
fresh paint."
"No; but he can keep "em in line."
Kansas City Journal.
So It Is.
'Pop. is an abyss anything sleepy?"
"Of course not. child. ' What put that
Into your head?"
"Well, it's always yawning." Balti
more American.
LAUGHTER.
How much lies in laughter, the
cipher key wherewith we de
cipher the Whole man! Some
iuen wear an everlasting barren
simper: iu the smile of others lies
a cold glitter as of ice. The few
est are able to laugh, what can
be called laughing, but only sniff
and titter and snigger from the
throat outward or at best pro
duce some whittling, husky cach
iuuation. as if they were laugh
ing through, wool. Of none such
conies good. The man who can
not laugh is not only fit for trea
sons, stratagems and spoils, but
his whole life is already a trea
sou and a stratagem. - Carlyle.
