Advertising as an Art.

The value Of liberal advertising is de-
mOnstrated constantly, by the success
that attends those who use extensively,
and yet with discrimination and judc>
ment the leading newspapers and maya
zines of the country through which they
reach the great mass of the most intelh-
gent people The Pail Mall Gazette a
leading English journal comes to US with
an interesting account of an interview be-
tween the reporter of that paper and
member of the firm of Pears & Co, the
great English manufacturers of the finest
toilet soaps. They have spent number
of large fortunes in advertising. but have
saved for themselves an unusually larger
one, and have now an established bust
ness all over the United Kingdom and on
the continent, and are already making
preparations to cover the territory of the
United States. OF course their success is
not wholly due to advertising. Had their
wares been without merit advertising
would have never given them half a cons
tinent asking for their fragrant and indis.
pensible toilet goods, and fortune of
seven figures. Advertising with them has
been reduced to science and a fine art,
and the striking picture of Beecher,
with his certificate, and the autographs
endorsement of Patti and Langtry,
which already appear in the American
magazines, is bat the beginning of sys>
tematic course of advertising in this
country. The bold advertisers are the
successful men, and there are manufac-
turers, even in Illinois, that could prOfita>
bly, study the plans and methods of this
good English house.

What Marrying Will Do.

A young gentleman of this city, with
plenty of time and genius, has figured
out how q man can become his OWL
grandfather, and this is the way he doe:
it: Il married widow, with a grown VI
daughter. My father visited my house
very often, fell in love with my daughter
and married her. So my father became
my soninlaw, and my step daughter my
mother, because she married my father
Some time afterward, my wife had son,
he is my fathers brotherinlaw, and my
uncle, for he is the brother of my steps
mother. My fathers wife, namely, my
stepmother, had son; he is my brother
and at the same time my grand child, fol
he is the son of my daughter. My wife
is my grand mother for she is my moth
er's mother. l am my wife's husband and
grand child at the same time, and as the
husband of persons grand mother is his
grand father. l am my own grand
father"

They were from Davenport, this city and

Der got aboard at Moline. A number who
had intended to 60 were deferred by the
heavy rain which set in at 6 p. m. The
train was composed of one baggage car,
nine coaches and three sleepers. Advices
fran st. Louis today are to the effect that
not a drop of rain fell there last night,
and the sun was shining brightly this
morning. The city is full of people and

A Nuisance.

People who desire to reach Milan by
telephone on Sunday find it impossible to
do so. So also do people in Milan who
wish 10 communicate with Rock Island,
Davenport or Moline. 1t seems that the
person who operates the exchange in Mi
Ian shuts up his Office and walks out
leaving who ever may desire to send a
message to this town to await his return
or else send it in some other way. 1t
makes no difference how important the
message may be, it is frequently i'm.
possible to send it to Milan on Sunday
Why is this thusly? 1t is not so in the
tri-cities and why is it so at Milan If
the person who is attending to the Milan
exchange can not attend to it as it should
be, he should be bounced and some one
put in his place who can. That is the
long and short of it, and it is an indis
putable fact. People who pay for their
telephones expect to be answered when
they call for a connection on Sunday as
well as any other day. A person who
does not intend to devote his time to the
business even in Milan has no business to
take charge of it. This Milan exchange
needs shaking up.
