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 result 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. 3he Courier (Printery, IBylBEN'lED DOANE, Jasper. Indiana.

man, who uiu not care iu nv ni name disclosed. The American was firm. If he could not learn the owner's name he would not buy. The stranger said ho would fog the woman and talk the matter over with her. ' Tho next day he came bnck and took Mr. N'issen to tho woman V

home. She lived in a hanüsomo apartment in one of the most fashionable quarter of tho city. It turned out that she was a Kussian princess who, with her husband and her daughter, had been driven from Russia for having taken part in a nihilist movement. Of all their largo property they had saved only their jewels. She opened a little safe and showed the American one of tho finest collections of diamonds he had ever seen. They were worth $200,000 or $300,000. "We sell them a few at a time," phe explained, "just enough of them each year to give us r. living. Perhaps vou will wondr why we don't sell" them all and live on the interest of the money? But my husband has the gambler's spirit. -The money would not last a year. So we part from them piecemeal. T fstimatö that there aro enough of

tlm to koon us twenty years, and

I don't expect to live longer than that." . '

One of those diamonds forms the

centerpiece of one of the most valuable necklaces in New York. A

few others are sent to this country everv year. In the "diamond horseshoe"" at tho opera there is never a

Tim, Not Space. Mrs. Frink was a trusting soul and rarely questioned the opinions of others about matters concerning

which they were supposed to bo in- j formed. One day Ehe came home j with a new pair of shoos under her arm. "Got them at Bride's," she explaioad, "and they're the best I ever bought" you." 'What is so very good abut . them?" inquired her son, for wham ( the shoes wore intended. ! "Why, the salesman eaid that you could walk farther in them than in ! any others without getting tired,! and I said that you couldn't walk !

very far just now on account of . your knee, you know, and he said that he meant farther for tho same j distance. So I bought them, and hero ther are. Save the string,'

out a pnue of glass, enteren ami went upstair? to And a place to settle down. I stood In a dark hall looking Into a room where a night lamp was burning. In the room a woman was In bed with n child, both asleep. The child was sleeping on the- front of the bed, very near the edge. He wss a boy and, I think, about Ave years old. On a narrow lower bed, close beside tho other, slept another child, a girl of nbout three. She was sleeping In the center of her Iwd on her side and had her eiiubby list up against her fat cheek. It was hot sumner weather,, and ntrne of them except the woman bad any covers whatever. 1 Wluit Interested uie was that the boy'b bead was banking ver the side of Ub bed and tut :n.h or id body, too tbrtt It looked tu me as if he wan

Tho mother turned ovor, 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 chll- j dren. But she slcnt on. Sire must have t
