native Malayan gold. embedded In a ruby
colored rock as it came unwashed from
the mine.
Though the Cingalese and the Sikh ap-
peared to be on the best of terms, Oriental
etiquette forbade that they should eat to-

The Sikh prepared his own meals in his
own earthen utensils which had not been
contaminated by the hands of any one of a
different caste.
The Sikh, who rejoices in the name OF
Jangsang. comes from the Punjaub. he
is about six feet two in height, and forms

John Bethune was leading a COW TO

when he reached the wooden mills he

the COW the Lebanon engine backed up

the predicament and managed 10 sig

that was smart. It was good bust
ness sense. 1t was distinctly fin de
steele. q quote from paper in rural
Missouri which mentioned the occur
rence.)
Oh, You can't get along without 1t,
and II you're smart enough to do it
right, your fortune is made. There was
little boy in New York not long ago
who hadn't job. There was a yawn-
ing vacancy in his little stomach, bat
not any in his little head.
He had an idea. He got lot Of old
newspapers, and some string and made
q regular bundle Of himself He was
the most preposterous spectacle
imaginable He looked as if he'd been
run through the press with a forty
eight page Sunday supplement, and
hadn't been able to get rid of it On
his back was this sign:
Job wanted: Inquire within"
He went out on Park Row that way
at the lunch hour, and his fame spread
abroad. Several hundred men were
looking for him TO give him work with
in five minutes, but that was much too
1ate. He had his job before he walked
the length of the row.
What made him particularly inter
esting was the suggestion that he had
no clothes inside his newspapers. OF
course he had, but he cleverly gave the
idea of triumphing over dire adversely.
That's always valua bic. But it's much
better to give the idea that adversely
has triumphed over you and that the
public can share in the spoils OF the
victory.
That's the idea which is back Of the
so-called fire sales. OF course there are
many genuine fire sales Merchants
goods are damaged by smoke or water
and they're viking to sell them cheap.
But there is no form of human calam-
ity which hasn't been turned to the
purposes of advertising. Why even the
tariff, that great and general calamity,
is made the basis of many a good catch
phrase. The wooden schedule is used
in clothiers' ad. in New York as an
argument for the purchaser; and I'll
bet that there isn't good, honest wool
enough in all the cloth in his store to
influence the value of the stock, if there
were a duty of thousand dollars an
ounce on that commodity.
Now the genuine fire sale is good
thing. There's many bargain to be
picked up by shrewd buyer. But it's
different when the proprietor of store
makes pile of old clothes and panta-
looms. and a dozen newspapers, and
touches them off about nine o'clock at
night. They smoke furiously and smell
like a dead whale. An alarm is pulled
in" The fremen dash up. just as they
are getting ready to drown the place
out, the proprietor informs them
that he has succeeded in conquering
the fiend. In towns of less than forty
thousand inha bitants his victory is
chronicled in those words by the morn
ing papers, which also contain his adj
vertisement of a great fire sale. 1t at
tracts large crowd. There is a sign
over the door, in red letters-nevera any
other color. Men come; women come,
especially the latter. "Yes, madam

confess that this garment is damaged.

husband won't mind that. He smokes
