Bot the Car Driver Failed to Connect

A very prosperous looking business
man, boarded the front platform of a
cross-town car and drawing from
his pocket, well-hlled cigar
case. selected choice looking
Havana. The driver "sized up" the man
and the cigar case, and his mouth be-
gan to water The smoker, after biting
off the end of the cigar, began fumbling
for match, Failing to find one he
turned to the driver and asked him If
he had a match.

claorlty; here you are, sir
"rhank you" said the business man,
lighting his cigar and sending the
fragrant smoke waiting scr"ss the drfv-

a cigar, too. Seems kinder fair to ex-

"Ah," said the smoker, evidently busy
in his mind with something connected
with business.
The driver looked despairlngly at
him, and after clearing hia throat,
said:
You don't happen to have another
cigar in your pocket, do you, sir?"
Certainly have-two or three" said
the business man testify. But what has
that to do with what you have been

HOW TO ADVERTISE.

By Charles Austin Bates.
Once in while some business
man, by advertising in programmes,
souvenirs and various ether schemes,
determines that advertising doesn't
pay" and forthwith begins to preach
this doctrine.
Several thousand years ago, a gen.
tleman named Acsop told little
story that has distinct application
right here:
"a fox was once caught in trap
by his tail, and, in order to get away,
was forced to leave it behind.
Knowing that without a tail he
would be laughing stock for all his
fellows, he resolved to try to induce
them to part with theirs. So at the
next assembly Of foxes, he made a
speech on the unproftableness OF
tails In general, and the convenience
Of fox's tail in particular, adding
that he had never felt 30 easy as
since he had given up his own.
When he sat down, sly old fellow
rose, and, waving his long brush with
q graceful air, said, with a sneer,
that II, like the last speaker, he had
lost his tail, nothing further would
have been needed to convince him
and till such an accident should hap.
pen, he should certainly vote in favor
of tails"
Pick out the largest users OF news
paper space, and you will find that
they are the smallest users OF space
in extraneous media. You will not
find among them q single one who is
not firmly convinced that advertising
does pay. The more a man spends
for newspaper advertising the more
positive he is In his belief In the
results that 1t brings.
Ask the man who uses the most
space in this paper what he thinks
about 1t.
