BACT1CAL HINTING for ARTICULAR EOPLE RETTILY HINTED.

PRINTING is the ambassador of trade. It is sent out to acquaint your customers with your business. It goes where you cannot be; it tells the story you would have told had you been able to go in its stead; it is the means by which you hope to attract attention to your house: to interest the public and secure patronage, if at all possible. In order to achieve these results and secure adequeat returns for the money invested, it is vitally essential that your printed literature have qualities. Ordinary, printing is forgetable prining. Distinctive printing impresses itself upon the mind and brings results. QhiCourier (Printer y, By Ben Ed Doane, Jasper. Indiana.

o4ojo;o4o0'i'0oioooot I Hote He Found $ Sleep. I o o i'O'I'O'I-OO'hO'I'O'l-OOOOO'I'Ov By SALLIE MENDEEM. Copyright, 1909, by American Tress Association. The way I not uut of the burglar line was this: 1 hail uilgUty good ucrvo and wasn't afrakl of nny one. I seemed to know what kind of a crlh to crack und how to do It. without waking anybody up and KcttliiR away between tnldulsht nnd dawn, when the cops are most

drowsy. While 1 was doing a job 1 thought of nothing except my work nnd was both cool and watchful. 1 wasn't one of those blokes who scare people to death or who are ready If necessary to add murder to robbery. The truth Is 1 never liked the prospect of facing either charge. As 1 was saying, while eugnged at my work, however dangerous, 1 was steady as a monument, but when danger hail passed and I hail nothing to do but think 1 went downhill very fast.

What bothered me most was that I

couldn't sleop nightsthat Is, when

comfortably stowed away In bed. 1 once took a nap In a gentleman's parlor and was only wakened by the sun coming up nnd shining In my eyes. I Just got out in time to save myself. But when lying on a soft mnttress, with warm eovers and no chance of

being disturbed, sleep wouldn't come to me. 1 lay awake thinking of the

time when I would hear prison doors clang behind me. The thought was dreadful. I'm afraid I was too fine grained for the business. Month nfter month my hours of Fleep grew less till I feared insanity. One night I woke up at midnight after having slept two hours anil knew there would be no more slumber for me till the nest time I went to bed. I was so desperate that I got up with the Intention of gf Ing Into some house where I had no right and there snatch another couple of hours' sleep. I had n crib In vli w, a small house with not much in It. llut I was looking for sleep, not plunder. I went there, took out a pane of glass, entered nnd went upstairs to find a place to settle down. I stocd in n dark hall looking into a room where a night lamp was burning. In the room a woman was In bed with a child, both asleep. The child was sleeping on the front of the bed, very near the edge. He was a boy and. I think, about five years old. On a narrow lower bed, close beside the other, slept another child, a girl of about three. She was sleeping In the center of her bed on her side and had her chubby list up ngalnst her fat cheek. It was hot summer weather and none of them except the woman had nny covers whatever. What interested me was that the boy's head was hanging over the side of his bed and so much of his body, too, that It looked to me as If he was about to fall. He was restless, and I knew lie would be over very soon. Somehow I wanted to see him fall, though I kept in the dark so that he wouldn't see me If he woke up. The next kick he made sent him over. He fell a couple of feet, but didn't wake up. He lauded partly on the little girl, but she didn't wake up cither. 1 expected she would, as she moaned once or twice in her sleep and turned over, but flually she slept as peacefully as before. It was such a delightful picture to one suffering from insomnia that I kept nn watching the children. The boy continued his kicking and crowded the girl, pushing her with every moveto the front edge of her bed. It must have been half an hour that he kept this up, when there was a thump, and the girl lay on the floor. But she seemed to be as comfortable there as on her bed. At any rate, she showed not the least sign of waking. Meanwhile I hoard the muttering of distant thunder, nnd while I wag 'ooking at them all there came one terrific crash loud enough to wnko the dead. The mother turned over, but neither of the children moved. Then followed one crash after another, and I expected that at least the mother would wake up and take a look at her children. But she slept on. She must have been very tired or hnd lost a lot of sleep or she couldn't have slept through those terrible bolts. Never had I heard such thunder before. The only effect the storm had on any of them was to Increaso the restlessness of the boy. He rolled nnd tumbled In his sleep like a ship tossed by the waves, sometimes lying for a few minutes close against his mother's bed, then rolling over to the outer edge of his own. I was sure. he'd In time tumble out of this bed, ns he had out of the other, and I was bound to sco biro

do It Stire enough, before I expected it ho gnve a lurch and landed plumb on top of his sister. Neither of them awoke. I reckon women know In their sleep what's going on with their children, for, now that the storm was over and everything was still as the tomb, the mother sat up in bed, glanced at her children, got up and put them In their proper places. Then she went bnck to bed herself and was asleep in a moment. "Well," I said to myself, "if that's what a clear conscience will furnish I'm going to have a clear conscience." I went back to my room resolved never to enter any tnnn's house again but my own, at least not for plunder. I went to bed and slept like n top for twenty-four hours. I kept my resolution, found honorable employment anil prospered. But I didn't forget the fninily that converted me. The mother was a widow, nnd, having a hard time to get on, I mado her ncqualntanc and married her. But none of my family know that I had been a burglar or bow I came to know them.

DUMAS' AUDACITY.

A Unique Literary Scheme of th Great French Writer. American readers uro accustomed to surprises in their newspapers, but imagine their astonishment should some favorite journnl publish in good faith, in daily installments and adapted according to the notions of some stair writer, a classic such as, for example, Dante's "Inferno!". Yet the astonishment so excited would not be without n parallel in the annals of newspaper management, inasmuch a3 Homer once figured as a fcuilletoniste for a Parisian newspaper. When Dumas the elder was editing his journal, Le Mousquetuirc, Urbnin Fages, one of his assistants, who was an exceptionally fine Greek scholar, was one day enthusiastically expatiating upon the beauties of the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey." Dumns grew most interested. "If only you could rend them in

the original," sighed Fagc3. "Why not?" asked Duma. "But," exclaimed Fages, "my dear fellow, you don't know alpha from omega !" "Will you translato for me?" asked Dumas eagerly. Accordingly Fages undertook the task. Beginning with the first book of the "Iliad," he would read a line of the Greek and then give a literal translation. Dumas quickly caught the spirit of the epic. As Fages read he wrote a translation and signed it. "In the name of all the ancients, M. Dumas," exclaimed Fages, "but vou are signing your name to the liad!'" "Certainly," responded Dumas, "that is, to my version of it. It will appear as a feuilleton in Le Mousquetaire." Fages was filled with dismay, as he afterward related, but before such audacity and naivete he felt helpless. How wa3 he to convince a writer nccustomed to every triumph that he was too bold ? And so the next day an installment of the "Iliad," as rendered in half an hour or so by a man who could not read the Greek alphabet, appeared at the bottom of the page

of Le Mousquetaire, with the note, "Continued in our next."

This enterprising bit of journalism raised such a storm of criticism that Dumas was persuaded to discontinue it after the third in t"'!ment, though it win do-ibtod t! it he quite undergo'. 1 want llitroub!c. St. Paul V o::r- r Pres.-
