ONE OF PROFESSOR COWS pupEs.


An esteemed friend of the Journals
who gives some attention to statistics,
but not enough to detect the fallacies
of Professor Coin. cautions this paper to
look out for it's laurels and then pro-
ceeds to state that the Professor quotes
from the statistician Mulhall, of Eng
land, to show that in 100 there were
thirty-four tons of silver to one of gold,
in 1900 thirty-two of silver to one of
gold. while in 1890 there were only eight
cen tons of the white metal to one of
gold. This statement the correspondent
regards as "stunner." No authority
is given by Mr.. Mulhall for that esti-
mate, but it seems to have been in
serted as an offset to the following

A BLAMED SIGHT WORSE.

A bachelor, old and cranky,
Was sitting alone in his room,
His toes with gout were aching,
And his face was o'erspread with gloom.
No little ones shouts disturbed him.
From noises the house was free
In fact, from the attic to cellar
Was quiet as quiet could be.
No medical aid was lacking.
The servants answered his ring,
Respectfully heard his orders
And supplied him with everything.
But still there was something wanting,
Something he couldn. t command
The kindly words of compassion,
The touch Of gentle hand.
And he said as his brow grew darker,
And he rang for the hireling nurse,
"Well, marriage may be a failure,
But this is blamed sight worsep'

GOOD ADVERTISING.

Good advertising Is one of the best
helps for successful retailing. II brings
III the trade says the "Dry Goods
Economist" This fact is so clearly
demonstrated by the most successful
business men in all parts Of the world
that further argument on the question
really seems supelfluous.
1t is not enough to keep store" in
these days, but, in order to keep your
business going at a pace that your
rival can't outstrip, you've got to let
the public know what you are doing.
You may know all about it yourself;
You may know that you have the best
store in town, equipped with every
facility for doing business properly,
and lots of ether people may know it,
too-they gradually find it out by one
telling another-but the great public
don't know it, and won't know it,
until their attention is sharply called
to the fact by intelligent, forceful ad-
vertising. 1t is wonderful how the
work of years can be accomplished in
a few brief months by the right kind Of
publicity, Many wide-awake busi-
ness man has been forced from obscu-
rity into the favorable notice of the
public eye, and then kept there through
each succeeding year as steady and
as the sparkling stream that unites the
vast ocean with its humble source in
the distant hills.
The present year is likely to be very
favorable for intelligent advertising.
After SO long period of trade depres-
sion the revival is apt to be much the
same as sick man rising from SER
iOus illness. Convalescence will ne
cessarily be slow, and plenty of good,
strong touic will be needed. There is
the Key. Get onto the rising wave of
renewed confidence, Of steady business
improvement, and reap the cream of
the harvest. 1t is time for courage and
aggressiveness and the shreWd adver-
tiser Won't be slow in finding it out.
1t is a good time for the larger hou-
ses TO consider the advisability of fol-
lowing the lead of certain enter .,rising
concerns throughout the country by
adding an up-to-late advertising de-
PAL tment, Under the direction of
capable manager, who, by giving his
whole attention to it, will be able to
insure the best possible results. 1t.
will be found TO be profitable invest
meht. There is plenty of room for
Improvement in this line, and the first
! to set the pace in each town will have
DIT cided advantage.
The increasing interest manifested
in bright advertising by some of the
leading houses indicates that there is
going to be some clever work done in
this field in the Mt ar future. Even in
New York city there are beginning to
appear some symptoms of cutting loose
from the old, bed-ridden styles, and
getting out into tt e modern path.

meantime let us all watch the results.

SANTA ANA's PROGRESS

Nearly all the cities OF Southern Cali.
fornia are enjoying an era of public and
private improvement. This betterment
of communities is one OF the surest indi-
cations of prosperity throughout the
southern portion of the state The read
ers of The Herald's Santa Ana correspond
ence have doubtless noticed that in the
programme of progression the capital of
Orange county is as conspicuous as any
place. Quite recently we noticed the
young building boom was pleasing
symptom OF prosperity, and from the
street paving work now under way and
the contemplation OF fine sewer system,
it is evident that the citizens do not in
tend that public utilities shall lag much
behind private enterprises. Santa Ana
is situated in an exceptionally fertile re-
gion and with little more vigorous and
liberal presentation of the country's merits
and the city's advantages as place of
residence, it should double in population
in the next half decade. The railroad that
before :long will be completed between
Santa Ana and Long Beach is bouni to
contribute wonderfully to the develop
ment of that part of Orange county with
resultant benefits of great i'm portance to
Santa Ana and all the other comm un tiles
OF the county.
