And more often a business house is sized up by the stationary it uses. A cheap letter head or a poor bin head gives a mighty poor first impression and makes business harder to transact. Good printing costs no more than poor printing. The first im pression is half the battle in business.. You wouldn't employ a "sloppy" sales man; why put up with "sloppy" station ery, that gives a wrong impression of the importance of your business.

Tlw Agent of the 'Tagblatt property tOrla-lnaJ.) , Old Btelger, who ud charge of tbf Tagblatt bouse and grounds, was prob ably the worst landlord that baa evei Win seen on the face of the globs. When Tagblatt died. Bulger was a? pointed custodian of bis property by the court, and Steiger was tben young uino. Tbs conditions of ths will bad excited a great dual of com ment at tbs tiros of Tsgblatfa death, but that bad been so (one ago that no one living seemed to know anything boot It Many persons bad rented tbs property, but do oue could be found wbo could get on wltb tbe laodtdrd or agent, or whatever be was, and sot a tenant bad remained a year. Tbe place was situated near tbe foot of tbe liars mountains, on tbe out skirts of a village. Tbe village bad grown to N a city, and, having envel oped tbe property, old Togbbitt's be quest bad grown very valuable that Is, the land bad, for Abe house wss al Boat uninhabitable from age. ', If Steiger was tbe worst landlord la tbe world, Chris and Gretcben Itbeln beart were tbe best tenants. Tbe rent al of tbe Tagblatt property bad never been high, and when Chris and Gretcb en were married tbey decided to take It This Uwy did wltb open eyes, for tbey knew all about old Steiger and bis ways. Hans wss a carpenter and could make repairs blmself. So tbe young couple decided to take tbe place at tbe low rental and not trouble tbe landlord to do anything for them. By this means tbey boped to be let alone and not bave any trouble. Chris spout a good deal of time when be first went Into the bouse endeavor ing to make It habitable. Stelirer came along while be was at work and wltb tbe usual abuse and oatbs threatened If be made auy cbangea lu the bouse be would prosecute blin nnder tbe law. Chrts desisted for the time being, but wben Ktelger went away be proceeded wltb bis repairs. However, It was plain that there would be oo peace In tbe bouse, and tbe couple talked over the matter of leaving It They finally decided to stay, Cbrla for the reason that be was too determined to be driven, pyt and, Gretcben because sbo was of such a weot disposition that she was fitted to get on with Satan hlmaelf. But Steiger seemed determined to drive them out Tbey mad S It difficult for blm by denying blm pretexts. The rent tbey Invariably paid before It was due. Tbey never asked tor anything to be done to the property. Indeed, what ever patching they did was for Its Im provement, aa any court would bave decided Notwithstanding all this care Steiger made It so bot for them that Chris at last gave out and told Gretcb en that be must either give up their lease or go Into a lunatic asylum. Gretcben's lovable disposition seemed not a wblt shaken, and tbey decided that thereafter Chris should keep out of Stelger'a way and she would receive. tbe abuse. Tben came a tussle between good and evil. When 8teiger waa seen com ing down tbe street Cbrla would es cape by a back door, and wbeu the old man , atopped to abuse bis tenants Gretcben would meekly submit to the lashings of bis tongue. Gretcben took It Into her lovely stupid bead that It Steiger bad a little piety be would not b to unreasonable, so oue day wben tbe door opeued and be stood glaring at her she took a crucifix off the man tel, Intending to tell blm the story of tbe Saviour. What waa her surprise to see blm tbe moment be saw It torn away and hurry on down tbe street aendlng back volleys of execrations. Just as retreating soldiers will turn and fire at an enemy. But Gretcben had' found an expe dient After that Steiger let them alone for a long while. Indeed, be did not call again till just before tbe ex piration of the lease, when be made a fierce onslaught, accusing Gretcben of bavjng been trying to burn the house. She cowered before him for a moment, for he looked more terrible than ever abe had soen him; then, taking up the crucifix, she was beginning to tell him of the example and sacrifice of the figure on tbe cross wben with a howl he made off ngnlu, just as be had done before. Having found a way to protect tbera solves, they decided to renew their loase, but Steiger did not appear, and the tenants submitted the matter to tbe court of wills. One day tlio judge sent for tbe ten ants, and they went to him together. "You have accepted the Tagblatt property for a year t" he asked. "One year. Here Is tbe lease. It expired a month ago. To whom shall wa pay rentr n "Steiger has disappeared. After dis covering this I looked up tbe will, which Is on record. It seems that Tag blatt bad a shrew for a wife, and they were always quarreling. Mrs. Tag blatt died first, aud wben her husband followed her he left their borne to tbe devlL" , "To tbe devil!" exclaimed Chris and Gretcben, the woman crossing herself. "Yes, to the devil, with the provision that If any couple could be found to live In It one year they were to be Its owners." "Gott In btmmeir exclaimed Gretch- tn.
