A Popular Sovereign.

The King of Denmark, it is said, is a quiet and unostentatious man, and rather fond of traveling If his people would let him do it in peace. Not long ago, as he was on a journey, the train was blocked for a little while at a small station by an accident A peasant who had heard that the king was on the trgin took the opportunity of seeing -him, and, walking down the platform, stared at the ears until he came to a nice-looking old gentleman looking out of a window. “Good morning,” said the gentleman. “Good morning,” said the peasant, “be you the king?” “Yes,” Replied the other. “Well, then,” rejoined the countryman, ""I want to tell you something. You be the best king that ever wetaad in Denmark. ” The king lifted- his hat in acknowledgment of the compliment, and said, “Thauk you, but that is a matter of opinion, and I cannot judge it Impartially.” Advertising pays: Newspaper advertising pays best of all. Our most successful and prosperous merchants and tradesmen, whose bright record has added imperishable luster to the history of American commerce, can all testify to this truth from personal .experience. The newspaper is the commercial traveler in city and country home, who tells at the fireside, to its evening circle, the merits of your wares and merchandise, if you are wise enough to employ it to speak for you. It never is neglected, never goes unheeded, never speaks to inattentive or unwilling "s always a welcome visitor and meets a cordial reception. It speaks when the day is done, when cares vanish, when the mind at peace and at rest is in its most receptive mood. Then it is: that its story is told and all who read treasure what it says,and Rre influenced to go where it directs for the thing of which it speaks. What other influences can be so potent to help trade as this quiet but itiwerful advocate? Let it become a salesman in every home for your wares. Let it make its mighty plea for your benefit. And we assure you it will do more than all other influences to promote your business and put money in your purse. In our long experience we know whereof we speak. Try it.
