German papers tell n pretty story of the
recent visit of Fraulein Lilli Finzeiberg,
the young German sculptor. to Prince and
Princess Bismarck in Kissingen. In the
course Of the conversation the EXCHANGED
lor asked Miss FinZelberg what types she
preferred as models
81 like to get ragged boys from the
street she replied. But ii is difficult 10
get suitable ones, somehow, in Berlin"
"I found Il difficult to get models IN
Berlin, too answered the Prince. "But if
/ were a young volunteer soldier again
should gladly stand guard at your door
for the year--or be your model. for that
matter"
AS the young sculptor was about to leave
the house she stopped TO kiss the hands OF
the Prince and Princess.
Never. never!' cried the creator OF
German unity. There is a much simpler
and prettier way out of The difficulty"
Suiting his action to his words he bent
forward and kissed the pretty girl on the
Inns and both checks.

Work for Literary Detectives.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
/ notice in to-day's Journal editorial
item stating that the New York World as
serts that some of the magazines employ
clever writer's to prepare special articles
for well-known men to sign, the latter
reading them for the first time in the maya
zines, If they read them at ALL" The Jour-
nal item further states that the World de-
clares that out of thirteen prominent
articles this month five are certainly not
written by the professed authors. One
of these five. it declares, was written by
weH-known journalist, with the expecta-
ton of adding to his literary reputation, as
we'll az for the mere payment of writing,
but without his knowledge or consent it
appears in the magazine as the work OF a
well-known politician
Apropos 70 this. about a month ago a
very reputable educator of this city in
formed an audience at a public meeting
that he had direct information to the
effect that certain talented but OBJ
scure young man some time ago sent an
article to the North American Review for
for which he was shortly afterwards Of
fered 800 on condition that he would con-
sent to it's publication in that magazine
under the name of a certain designated
member of the present Congress-. The
author of the article Indignantly declined
the conditions, and his article was returned
TO him. / subsequently asked the gentle
man who made the statement to give me
the particulars of the case. which he did,
vouching fully for the truth of the story.
Still, this was the first time 1 had ever
heard of such a compact of villainy," |
felt that there must be some nisunder-
standing on the part of the educator, and
had dismissed the matter from my mind I'M
til the item in the Journal caught my eye.
The Worlds article seems to prove that
the practice actually prevails-at least in
some quarters; and it appears in order to
suggest that now would be good time for
the World, or some other metropolitan
paper to do a little detective work, to the
end of bringing to light the names OF both
the offending magazines and the shameless
:igure-heads who thus consent to traffic
upon the titles they have made so empty
in these degenerate days.

Advertising That Pays.


II has been rightly said the "the time to
advertise is all The time" The most sue
ceSSful merchants OF the country are those
who have been the most persistent in keep
ing their business before the public Elk
perience of more than a century has shown
that newspaper advertising is pre-eminently
the best. quickest and cheapest method.
Reference TO the files of the North Ameri-
can of more than hundred years ago shows
that the wide-awake business men in those
days were, as now the men whose names
appeared most frequently in its advertising
columns Ii has been coservatively esti-
mated that the merchants OF the United
States spending more than $50 600, 900
annually for newspaper advertising. A
recognized factor in business since the be-
ginning OF journalism, IL has only been
within the last decade that advertising has
reached such proportions and become such
a lever In the commercial world. The shop
pers Of to-day no more think OF making
purchase without consulting the columns OF
their newspaper than they do of going TO
place OF amusement without first reading
the newspaper criticism or notice OF the at
traction. The life OF business is Advertising
and there is no more profitable season for
newspaper advertising than during a gen.
eral business depression, when the great
majority of people feel compelled to econ
omize In every possible way. The paper TO
advertise in is of course, the paper that
reaches the buyers.

A railroad official who takes a great deal

expanding large sums of money in putting
down heavier rail than has ever before been
laid in the main tracks for any great dis
lance and building engines much more

cities and towns between the points named,
all of which greatly simplifies the problem
of running trains hundred miles an
hour. This matter was mentioned TO PreS-
dent Roberts and he remarked that Ii would
be after he was gone. 1t Is well-known
fact that President Roberts is averse to
exceedingly fast trains, and when on in
spection trips, cautions against fast run

stood near, remarked that, Notwithstanding
