A Humiliating Confession.

We have heard men confess in j public, that they never read advertisements, says the Midland. Wethought of them in this wise: That , is a most humiliating confession, for there is often much information to be gleaned from the advertising pages concerning new books, papers, . lands, inventions, routes of travel, : investments, and many useful arti- : cles for the home, the office, the farm and the church. Then we marveled also at their lack of fairness. If advertisers help patrons to pay for their papers by inserting advertisements, then patrons are under some f obligation to return the favor by ; noticing what their benefactors sav. i We are never proud of the man who boasts that he never reads advertisements.
