lat Your LIGHT shine.

In n~inety-nine cases out Of a hundred sue
cess is the stamp Of merit. There may be
enough seemiag exceptions to prove the rule,
but the proposition will stand. How is sue
cess attained! VariOusly. In business per-
haps the essential Of essentials IS judicious,
persistent advertising. Men who are ''up to
snuff" have grasped the idea. Many e.
amples might be given. Probably none
would better illustrate the truth Of the above
than r. W. Tansill, the cigar manufacturer
of Chicago. Before he came into the field
the opinion prevailed that cigars could be
sold only by employing t~raveling-men. Mr.
Tansill thought differently. He thought that
an honest article, at q fair margin Of profit,
and literally advertised j n newspaper, could
be sold direct to the retailer, thus saving to
the dealer the large item Of expense repre-
sented by the high-priced t~raveling-man;
The plan worked from the start. Dealer and
smoker ''caught on" to u . surprising
extent that, ever at the small profit he re-
serves for himself, Mr.. T. il now recognized
as one of the solid men of Chicago. He has
kept faith with his customers and with the
public, and the name of his Punch" cigar is
. household word. Honesty, and originality,
and ~pluck-AND ADvERTIslNG-did it.

How Many Horses 1t Would Take to .

almost needing q hammer to drive
them into any strong. close fabric.
Now papers containing 2s8 beautiful.
fine-pointed, smOoth-bodied. nicely
headed pins are made for two or three
cents per paper. And how could you
get along without pins, even with the
present immense variety Of buttons
and tapes. and what-nOts? 1t is stated
that the present annual production of
common pins in this country is eighteen
billions, or eighteen thousand millions
Us. 600. 600. OOO). This. however, is
but u daily pin apiece. and only for
500 days in q year, for each of our
sixty million people. The old question
is up again in the press. ''What becomes
Of all the pinsP" 1t would be no
trouble for each person to drop out Of
sight his or her one pin a day. and
they would be pretty well scattered
about, and hard to find. even il not
''lost in a haymow." But if all these
pins of only one years supply were
deposited in one heap. it would be quite
a diffcreLt matter. The average-sized
pin is an inch long. We weighed some
of these on delicate scales, and found
them to run two grains each. or3.5O0
to the pound. So the eighteen billion
pins would weigh over five million
pounds (5.1l2,S57 pounds). or 2.57l
tons, and it would take over five thou
sand horses or oxen to haul them in
loads Of a ton each.
If only n of every thirty pins
should injure a person. it would
average ten ''pricks" or scratches
each for every man. woman and child
in the United States. Some get more
than their share. the babies for EXAM
pie. though the recently invented
safety pins" have greatly changed
that matter. -Prairie Farmer.
