METHOD OF ADVERTISING.

Charles Austin Bates.
The down town terminus of the
Third avenue elevated road in New
York is exactly opposite the entrance
to the Brooklyn bridge. As one
comes down the stairway from the
elevated, or comes ont of the bridge
entrance, he is met by a number OF
newsboys, each one crying his papers
and at the same time, holding out
his hand in the hope of receiving the
paper which you are through with.
These papers are either sold again,
or are returned to the newspaper
offices as unsold copies.
There is as much difference in the
methods of these newsboys as there
is in those of business men who ad
vertise. Some of the boys push to
the front and seem to catch the eye
OF almost everybody. There is an
other kind of boy who stands little
bit in the background, but who still
reaches out his hand. Out on the
edge are some of the smaller, weaker
and less energetic boys, and beyond
them, are some who take no interest
in the proceedings at all, who receive
few papers and sell few. The boy
who asks oftenest and keeps most
persistently in the foreground, is the
boy who gets the most papers.
The advertiser who keeps his bus
iness prominently before people and
ask courteously and persistently and
often for their trade is the one will
get the most business. The man who
is nearly as energetic will get the
business that is left, and the one who
stands around on the edge with his
hands in his pockets may very rea-
sonably and justly expect to get
"what the boy shot at"
Advertising reduced to its lowest
terms Is merely asking people for
their trade. That's all there Is of 1t,
A business man wants trade in some
particular line. II 1t is q good line
and IL he understands 1t and runs his
business properly, it is only ques-
tion Of asking enough people and
asking them often. In the dull sea
son when comparatively few people
are buying anything the advertising
should be increased as the number Of
possible buyers decreases. 1t is cas-.
ier to sell $40 worth Of goods among
9 thousand people than it is to sci
that much among one hundred peo'
pie. II there are only one hundred
to work on, work them hard.

Dec. 30, 1926, this legislature re.

Dec. 30, 1926, this legislature re-
elected Hon. Thomas H. Benton
United States senator for six years
and thrice afterwards he was re-
elected to the same high office.
On the night of Wednesday, Nov.
IL, 1887, the capitol, then occupying
the site now occupied by the gov
ernor's mansion, was burned to tho
ground, causing the loss of all the
records in the Office of the secretary
OF state. About one half Of the
state library and all the bonds, orig
inaI acts of the legislature, and other
important state records, were Aiso
destroyed. From thst time untii

building now used as court house.
The present state capitol, COM
pleted in 184O, was begun in 1888.
1t cost about $35O,OOO, and the stone
for the building was taken from the
bluffs along the line of the Pacific
railroad in front of the city. No
addition has been made save that of
the wings in the late Gov. Marina
dukes time, already mentioned
The limestone for the pillars of the
capital came from Galloway county
The architect of the building was
Mr.. Stephen Hills, who afterwards
built the State University at Colum-
bia.
The present executive mansion
was built during the administration
of the late Gov. B. Gratz Brown,
1S70-72, who WAS its first occupant.
1t is a handsome brick building of
rather plain style of architecture,
and stands in the midst OF large and
beautiful grounds but a short dis
tance east of the capitol building.
The only remaining state building
that would be affected by the re-
moval of the capital is the supreme
court building, in the capitol
grounds. This structure is small
and plain, and its building was begun
in 1879 and finished in 1881.

ALL OVER THE WORLD.
OMEN EARN MORE THAN MEN.

WOMEN EARN MORE THAN MEN.
Half a dozen Welsh women began
work last week in the rolling mill of
the Monongahela Tinplate works in
Pittsburgh. They receive the plates
as they come from the rolls and sep
arate the black sheets. This work
heretofore has been done wholly by
men. 1t is hard and rough. The
women wear great leather shields
on their hands, leather aprons, and
hob nailed shoes to protect them
from the heat and metal. The WON
en- are paid $1.50 day. Men receiv =
ed for the same work $1.35. The
forewoman gets s1.75. This is the
first time women have been employed
at such work in this country.
BRYAN REPLIES TO CLEVELAND.
Elk Congressman Bryan, through
the Omaha paper of which he il
editor, made public an open letter
to the president, in reply to Mr..
Cleveland's recent financial epistle.
After praising "Coin's Financial
School," the letter says:
"What do you mean by the phrase,
sound money? In your letter you
make frequent use of that and kim
dred phrases. In fact, in the course
of your letter you speak three time s
of sound money! twice of safe
currency once of Sound cur
rency,' once of safe and sound
currency and once of safe and
prudent financial ideas, and once Of
wholesome financial doctrine You
also speak of 'debased currency
once of a 'degenerated currency
and once of cheap money
''In one place you describe your
opponents as 'the forces of silver
monometallism,' but you nowhere
explain what you mean by sound
money or what you consider
cheap money Now, everybody
favors Sound money and 'safe
currency and a plain and simple
statement of what you mean by
these euphonious and universally
admired phrases might dispel the
war clouds and make a 'line of bat
tle' unnecessary. If by Sound
money you mean gold standard,
why did you avoid the use of the
world gold in Your letter? If by
safe money you mean bimetallism,
why did you avoid the use of the
word 'bimetallism' in your letter?
"Your opponents favor the free
and unlimited coinage of gold bullion
into dollars, each containing 25.S
grains of gold. Are you in favor OF
this? Your opponents are in favor
of the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver bullion into dollars, each con.
tanning 4l2.5 grains of standard sill
yer. Are you in favor of this? If
not, are you in favor of the coinage
of silver bullion into dollars of any
size? If not in favor of the free
coinage of silver, what charge, ii
any, would you make for coinage?
sis the failure of the gold standard
advocates to define their purposes
and defend their financial system
due to lack of knowledge of the
subject or to an unwillingness to let
the people know what they intend.
If the 'proprieties' of your 'official
place oblige you to forego the enjoy
ment,' which you would derive from
the writing of another letter ex-
planning your last letter and defining
your position on the financial ques-
ton, please designate some one who
has authority to speak for you 50
the people may be afforded an
intelligent opportunity as you sug-
gest, to study and decide this now
paramount question"

the hawk; and, faith, I'm afraid he's an
out-and-out bird OF prey. too. The eagle

tomorrow he'll tackle buffalo"
Meanwhile the bird in question looked
throu Oh the bars with his helmeted head
erect and his eye flashing defiance.

THAT fellow is a terror. All ne wants
now is another fight. What is he anyhow ?
A bird or beast? He has no wings and
his feathers are hairs. He's the only ami

The victorious bird with belligerent
turn of mind was calmly considering the
situation, with one intelligent eye stray
ing from Dan to his new surroundings in
the buffalo paddock, and the other pene-
trating orb to all appearances looking for
trouble.

his brain whether the stranger was really
a bird or some other kind of an animal,
but it was nothing more formidable than

The cassowary is an interesting bird in
many ways, being one OF the peculiar

tell her friends the reason for its existence.
Miss Margie is the sister of Miss Loretta
Adds, the young actress who was married
to Lord Sholto Douglass at San Jose sew
eral months ago. She is also an actress,
and it was while on a northern, tour that
she first met Mr.. Jefferson. From all that
has transpired it was q case of love at first
sight, and it was only Miss Adds refusal
to act hastily that has prevented the mar
riage from having already taken place.
The story of the engagement dates lack
to April IA of last year. On that day Miss
Adds met Mr.. Jefferson on a train at
Spokane Falls. During Miss Adds north
ern engagement she has spent as, much
time as possible at Spokane Falls, though
until few months ago the secret of her
doing so was carefully guarded, even
from members of her own family. Ten
days ago she came home for brief holi-
day and the story of her engagement has
gradually leaked out Although she is
but 20 years of age she has made quite a
reputation on the vaudeville stage.
Thomas Jefferson is the son OF the presi-
dent of the National Bank at Spokane
Falls and is reported to be millionaire in
his own right. He is the superintendent
of three mines and owns considerable
ranch property. He is said to 0e man OF
athletic build, over six feet in height and
is 81 years of age.
The mother of the young lady was seen
to-day and admitted that the report of her
daughters engagement was true, but she
refused TO discuss the subject further.

BIRDS AND ANIMALS BEATEN
After a Few Days In Captivity the
RoWdy Bird Escapes-NoW With
the Buffalo. .

A strange bird has been brought from
far-away New Guinea and presented to
Golden Gate Park. There was peace
among the happy family of buffalo, elk,
deer, emus and ostriches until this wild
eyed, pugnacious fellow came upon the
scene, but yesterday the harmony so
pleasant TO contemplate was rudely broken.
Incidentally fences, several proud animals
spirits and portions of mems wearing APP
parel were broken at the same time, for
this newest arrival woke up in a fighting
humor and proceeded to whip every living
thing within range of his vision.
"That bird is regular bulldog, ne is, u
remarked Dan, the keeper of the animals,
