A CITIZEN Of New Orleans advertises in the
theatre programmes that while il is true he
has been made president of the Louisiana Lot
terry he has not abandoned his former business.
and that AL communications addressed
to him will receive prompt attention. This is
the last resort Of the old lottery company to
keep itself before the people. Fortunately
very few people outside of New Or
leans ever see the theatrical programmes
Of that city. The fac, that the lottery COM
pany has to resort TO such means Of advertis-
ing shows how they have rbsen run to earth

The Art of Advertising.

Advertising seems to be an art yet tc
be discovered by some people. That
is, the practical part of it. A con.
slant stream of water from one or more
fire engines will soon extinguish or get
under control very large fire, while a
few buckets Of water, dashed on here
and there, have little or no effect. The
modern fire department is practical, and
has outgrown the old bucket system;
and SO with modern advertising-plenty
of it, used in practical, common sense
and Judicious manner, pays.
If you want to catch a certain kind of
fish you use a certain kind of bait; not
all fish bite at all kinds of bait. Not all
people respond to every advertisement.
The newspaper is medium indispen-
sable to the majority of advertisers, be-
cause of its wide and repeating circula-
ton. AS a promoter of trade and profit
newspaper advertising is no longer an
open question; that is, when done in a
practical and intelligent manner, and
pays because of its effectiveness and
cheapness.-Beatrice Neb.) Democrat.

It Is Hard to Waste 1t.

IL Is HarU 10 aSte IL.
Some advertisers have an idea that
only copies going to paid up subscribers
are useful to them. This is not quite so.
For example, suppose journal has 25,-
600 actual subscribers to whom the
paper goes regularly. Suppose it prints
5000 extra copies a week, which are sent
as specimens to good parties, whose ad-
dresses are supplied by its agents and
readers, and mails 5000 one week to one
set of persons, the next week to another
set of 5000 and 50 ON. In this way $780,
600 extra persons are reached during the
year, while if the extra 5000 were sent
every week to 5000 paying subscribers
only that number could be reached. In
the former case 2S5,000 persons are
reached. In the latter case only 30, 900
all told. A person receiving copy of a
journal which he has not seen before,
with request to examine it, will usually
look all through it, advertisements and
all. Such course is as useful to the
yearly advertiser as if his card were sent
to the whole 2S5,OOO persons, or even
more so, for his single loose card receives
far less attention than would be found
In the columns of reputable journal.

SpasmOdic Advertising.

We all recognize that as between the
fellow who works "by fits and starts
and the chap who plods along and Keeps
at 1t steadily, the plodder gets there
every time. The spasmodic fellow may
create an occasional impression, but the
results Of his fitful labors are dissipated
in the intervals.
The occasional display of fireworks
only serves the purpose of preventing his
being forgotten altogether; while the
man who works, and keeps working, con.
stantly improves his position and pros.
poets.
So 1t is with advertising. 1t is the re-
peated "ad" and the sustained effort that
tell. We don't mean the "ad" that is
never changed, but the one that is euer
changing, but never omitted! The wise
advertiser keeps always before the peo-
pie to whom he desires to sell his wares.
When you want to quit doing business
stop advertising, or advertise only "once
in WHILE"

WELDING The Official Axe.
ANOTHER BILL IS VOTED BY GOVERNOR
PATTISON.

Governor Pattison has sent to the
Legislature without his approval
House bill 50. The Governor says
herewith return without my ap-
proval House bill No. 80, entitled San
act relating to the study and practice
of physical culture in the public shcools
of all the cities of the Commonwealth. {"
This act seeks to impose upon the
School Directors. Boards of School
Control or Boards of Education of the
public schools of all the cities of the
commonwealth the duty of providing
for instruction in physical culture, in
cluding calisthenics, to all pupils in
all departments of all schools to
punish any failure on the part of
School Boards in this respect by with
holding from them their respective
shares of the State appropriation of
school moneys, and presumably to
compel teachers to pass examination
in these added branches after January
1. 1902.
was not informed of any demand
or necessity for imposing this restric-
ton and penalty upon the various
School Boards Of cities, nor of any
reason why city school districts, and
no others, should be subject to the
operations of this bill. The School
Department of the Commonwealth
has not discovered or pointed out any
occasion for such legislation. There
is more requirement at present for
simplihcation of the modes Of instruc-
tion in the common schools of the Com
monwealth than for onerous additions
hereto.
Beyond the comparatively few and
simple fundamental branches required
by general law, the School Boards of
each district are best qualified to Judge
of the wants of the public schools un-
der their supervision, AS the law
stands "they shall direct what branches
of learning shall be taught in each
school," If successive Legislatures i'm
pose additional branches upon them,
the curriculum may eventually become
so burdensome as to practically defeat
the purpose and change the character
of the public schools.
Where instruction in physical cul-
ture and calisthentics is desirable and
practicable, it can now be given under
direction and control Of the several
districts. Where, for local reasons
which may mean good to them, the di-
rectors are not prepared to enforce
such instruction in some departments
and in some schools, l am not willing
to lend my approval to any enactment
which compels them to do SO under
the school appropriation. 49,, |
The best results can be attained by
permitting widest exercise of the prin-
ciple of local control which pervades
the school system of our Common
wealth and by allowing the various
school districts to regulate their own
local affairs and to prescribe the. cours-
es Of study which may seem best to
those whom they elect to control their
schools.
The House sustained the Governors
veto by vote of 100 in favor SO
against it.

BE Brief! BE Pointed

In preparing their announcements ad-
vertisers will usually do well to confine
their statements to one, or at most, a
very few points. Few persons can do
well more than one thing at time, and
1t is much the same with the memory;
but one or two points in any statement
make an impression and are retained.
As the number of points is increased the
probability of any of them making an
impression and bringing returns is pro-
portionately reduced.

SIC( ESS IN CITIES.

A Young farmer of North Carolina, who has
grown weary Of the loneliness Of life
ID the country. and discouraged by
the few opportunities for ambition
which his occupation seems to offer him, has
recently written to the New York Sun for in
formation as to the prospects in q city of a
man Of his age, who has fitted himself by a
course in business college. to earn liveli-
hood by telegraphy. stenography, type
writing and book keeping.
The reply Of the Sun is very interesting and
as 1t is based upon thorough knowledge of
the conditions of winning every grade OF sue
cess in the most prosperous community in the
United States. it is well worthy OF the consid-
Grafton of all who, like this Young farmer of
North Carolina, are anxious to abandon tho
country and seek their fortunes in our cities
The Sun first directs attention TO the fact that
the farmer OF the South is more agreeably
situated than the farmer of the North. be-
cause, as a rule, he is a superintendent Of
manual laborers rather than a manual laborer
himself Still the discomfort which is so OBJ
seryable among those who follow agriculture
at the North is almost equally az great among
members Of the same pursuit at the South.
Under ordinary circumstances" remarks
the Sun, the farmer cannot expect 10 do bet
ter in his occupation than 10 scrape together
bare living. But the chances are that he
will not DO better anywhere else, for that Is
all that the great majority of mon are able 10
do in the towns. If he goes to the business
college and learns telegraphy. stenography.
typewriting and bookkeeping he Will find
that none of them nor all Of them will If

turns of his present farming employment.
more profitable, but carried on 10y them

of his improving his pecuniary conditions.

if he goes to the city, has one great advantage
on his side, and it is his youth. which is the
time for adventure. If he is driven back he
will have the vitality TO 60 ahead again. and
be will have time enough for repeated trials.
But don't let him set out with acut-and-dried
plan as to what he shall do. Let him rather
start with the determination to seize and i'm
prove opportunities as they arise. even if they
are not as he would have made them. The

II is not the least of the novel and grotesque

has just been presented with very handsome
tomb by his admirers The old poet q few
days ago made personal examination Of the
future receptacle Of his body. and expressed
himself as highly pleased with the strange
testimonial to his poetical merits. He directed
that ivy should be planted in the vicinity Of
the tomb so that it could be trained TO
envelop the whole structure in perennial
leafy covering. As Walt introduced a
new style of poetry. which we trust will never
find an imitator, either in form or senti-

necessary TO show their appreciation Of his

which they adopted does honor 10 their in
