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 hid 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. Of he Courier (Pr inter y, IBvIBenIEd Doane, Jasper. Indiana.

hnndred times aa much work. This difference in meaning canjyja thousands of disputes among students. "Electricity is a form of

! ancrtrv," savis one, "just like light lor heat." "Oh, no!" is the reply. I "It is not energy at all, though it i may pos.-e-s or convey energy." Ono j disputant is talking about the elecj tricitv of the physical and the other about that of tiio engineer; hence I their dispute is merely a matter of i definition, though thev do not know

it. What wonder that some people are still coutent to regard the whole subjei t as a civilized Mumbo J umbo? St. Louis EeDublic.

It was such a delightful picture to one suffering from Insomnia that I keut on watchliic the children. The

boy continued his kicking and crowded , the slrl. F'UfhliiK l"r with every move j to the front edo of her bed. It must ; have been half an hour that he kept ; this up. when there was a thump, and j tho girl lny on the iloor. ltut she j kcc tncil to be as comfortable there as on her bed. At nny rate, she showed not the least sign of waking. 1 Meanwhile I heard tho muttering of

dlsttint thunder, and while 1 was look

ing at them nil there came one terrltle crash loud enough to wake the dead. '

Tho mother turned over, but neither

of the children. moved. Then followed

one crash after another, and I expect

ed that nt least the mother would

wake up and take a look at her chil

dren. Hut she slept on. She must have been very tired or bad lost a lot of

sleep or she couldn't have slept through those terrible bolts. Never

hnd I beard such thunder before.

The only effect the storm hnd on any

f them was to Increase tho restless

ness of the boy. He rolled and tumbled In his sleep like n ship tossed by the wave, 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, as he had out of

the other, and I was bound to see him

do it. Sure enough, before I expected

It he gave a lurch and lauded 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 back to bed herself and was asleep In a moment. "Well," I said to myself, "if that's what n clear conscience will furnish I'm going to have a clear conscience." I went hack to my room resolved never to enter any man's house again but my own, at least not for plunder. 1 went to bed and slept like a top for twenty-four hours. I kept my resolution, found honorable employment and prospered. Hut I didn't forget the family that converted

me. The mother was a widow, and. having a hard time to get on, I made her acquaintance and married her. Hut none of my family know that I had been a burglar or how I came to
