"Now, why ii the world would you kill him?" "I cannot tell my reasons for it," Ross said, with a dogged look- "I only say I confess to the murder and I want to give myself up.

Club Hears of Conditions Which Prevailed 150 Years Ago I Print used in newspaper advertis-! ing 150 years ago wr.s much smaller I than is generally used to-day, said \ Louis Carrier, French-Canadian writ-; er and publish?-, in describing news-j paper advertising of former days to the members of the Advertising Club, of Montreal. Advertising of the 18th century, the small amount that was carried in the newspapers, had no display lines and no large type. Advertisers contented themselves with stating the facts with little ostei.tation to catch the eye. As space in newspapers became more plentiful advertisers accustomed themselves to using more and more of it. At one time notices cost so much for each one regardless of the amount of the space they used, unless they were considered quite large, when the advertiser was asked to pay double the amount. The scarcity of space in the early newspapers was mentioned by the _ speaker who said that it was often ' WlI°ur C-enn Vt>liv for this reason that news from Eur-;1™ wwld flat s< ope was at times printed 13 months ?lauslble durmg lhe late. If an event in Europe of ordi- j lnS season, nary importance was printed five months after it happened, it was then considered to be spe*;dy work in chronicling. During his talk, Mr- Car.-ier traced the beginnings of newspapers on this continent. The first newspaper was established in Boston, and it was really from that city that journalism spread to Canada. The speaker made special reference to Benjamin Franklin, whom he styled as the patron saint of printing in North America. Dr. Franklin did much to influence public opinion in North America, and Mr. Carrier considered that Dr. Franklin, rather than Washington, lied the "Father Make Better^ . , Bread , Ask^your grocer for 1 ROYAL YEAST CAKES useful patch pockets and a long shawl collar.
