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. Ordinaryprinting is forgetable prining. Distinctive printing impresses itself upon the mind and brings results. 31ie Courier (Printern, By Ben Ed Doane. J asper. Indiana.

THE STOCK EXCHANGE

of the Firtt Agreement Among New Yerk'e irekere. In the early part of March, 3792, the first notice was printed of the opening of a stock exchange office at 22 Wall street by A. L. Bleecker & bons, J. lonVard, McEven & Barclay, Cortlandt & Terrers and Jay & Sutton. These several firms held l'z auctions of stock each day at noon, -. i i ... i remng in rocanon 10 insure equal opportunities for each other. Some of the broker specialists resented euch a restricted organization, and on March 21 a meeting was called of the dissatisfied brokers for purposes of protection, and a committee was appointed to provide a suitable room in which to assemble and to suggest such rules FLOUR and regulations for conducting their business aa the committee deemed necessary. Tho final result of this meeting, says Moody's Magazine, was the first signed agreement among dealers in securities, the oldest record now in fiie archives of the New York Stock Exchange. The agreement reads a3 follows : "We, the Subscribers, Brokers for the purchase and Sale of Public Stock, do hereby solemnly promise and pledge ourselves to each other, that we will not buy or sell from this day, for any person whatsoever, any kind of Public Stock at a les3 ; rato than one-quarter per cent com- . AiM " , , mission on the specie value, and that we will give a preference to each other in our negotiations. In Testimony Whereof we have set our hands this 17th day of May, at New York, 1792." This organization had no local habitation for conducting exchange business. Like the curb brokers today, transactions were carried on in the open air at a point between the present numbers of 68 and 70 Wall street, under a famous old buttonwood tree that stood there with widespreading branches, which protected them from the sun's rays and ordinarily inclement weather. Business in those days was not rushing, and thare was an air of leisure and quiet about the gathering. Securitie were not active enough to employ all the time of the brokers, so between times betting on the results of domestic and foreign political controversies and dealing in merchandise were included. The first inside quarters of the exchange were secured in 1793, when the Tontine coffee house, at the northwest corner of Wall and William streets, was completed. Tho old buttonwood tree was abandoned, and the dignity of the brokere' organization was elevated by the change. The Tontine coffee house was controlled by a chartered company composed of 203 subscribers at $200 each, organized as a merchants' exchange. The dealers in securities and the merchants were all jumbled up together, and at times when trading was brisk there was wild excitement i and shouts that would have done j credit to a band ol Uomanche Indians. No constitution for a stock exchange was adopted until 1817, when the New York stock and exchange board was formally organized and & constitution adopted. Nathaniel Prime was appointed president and John Bnrson secretary. The Manager Wat Cute. The crowd swayed toward the manager of the orwn air show. "What did you mean by advertis-1 in' thct tight rope walker?" cried I the spokesman. "Just what I said' replied the unabashed manager. "But the rope was laid on th' ground," cried tho spokesman, "an' your fraud of a rope walker just walked on if a atep or two 1 Do you call that tight rope walking?" "Certainly I" shouted the manager. "The man was tight, wasn't he?" Cleveland Plain Dealer. ReMlnl'a Pleating Place. For years Rossini's body rested, in Pere Lachaise, and then city o: Florence asked that it might be transferred to the Church of the Holy Cross in that city, where the bodies of Galilei, Michelangelo, Machiavelli, Alflen and other great Italians are entombed. Consent was received from the municipality, but the master's widow. Dona1 Olympia, would consent to the! translation only on condition that when her tune came her bodv might be placed next to that of her husband. This request was bluntly denied, for the reason that only Italians "who had achieved greatness" coald rest there. In 1878 the widow died and before her death consented in writing to the removal f her husband's body to Florence, provided her body be placed in the grave from which his would be taken ia Pere Lachake. aad after a Itwftua for riMitWiriia tail

Even thi Dignifitd Enjjliih gutter Can Ga Astray at Tirnsi. 1 k little story which has just found its way across tho Atlantic from an English country house tells of the recent slip made by a now and nervous butler in 6ervinr hü master, a duke, at the luncheon table. Quiet, respectful and assiduous,, he proffered a dish with the insinuating query: "Cold grace, your grouse?' The clip is so obviously a natural one that doubtless the tale is true. Thus far it is also unchallenged as new, although probably by the tim it has made the full round of tho press somebody will discover that in its original form it was an Athenian "chestnut" in the days of Socrates. An anecdote which at least be longs to the same family used to be laughed over in early Victorian drawing rooms. Among the royalties, great and little, who came to London for the young queen's coronation thero was a certain small, dried up, gray haired, bright eyed, brisk little old reigning prince of a tiny principality, lie was faraway cousin to an Irish duke, whose estates in Ire land he visited before returninr. For his entertainment a village celebration was arranged, with games and dances, and especially Irish jigs and clo? dances. The gay old prince was delight ed, lie came himself of a race far :i j : tt :n The , - , r . eesed a rood eve. a auick ear and i a light foot. That same evening in the great hall of the castle, to the whistling of his host's son, ho endeavored to emulate some of the feats he had seen. The duke's solemn Eagfch butler was present, and bis ma$x at such unroyal antics was rcäected in hi3 eyes. The prince perceived it and, shooting a sudden forefinger at him, demanded imperiously: "Eh! Tell me, then, what you think of my dancing!" Discreet and dignified, but flurried inwardly, the butler's manner was perfect, but bis tongue betrayed him. He answered: "Your roval sprvness is certainThere was a shout of laughter, and the duke, with assumed anger, cried sternly : "What! Do you dare to insinuate that the prince is elevated that his vivacity is due to any other good spirit than bis own?" Before such n accusation the poor butler's last remnant of composure vanished, and. turning wildly, with clasped 1.-.iiJ. from his highness to his grace, lie protested earnestly: "No, I never, sir. your royal grayness; no, I never, sir, your icel" Youth's Companion.
