The famous lucky No. 10" room at the
Clifton house has once more been distin-
guished, says the Chicago Tribune. Ever
since Candidate bryan occupied the room
and was nominated it has been in great
demand among persons of sentiment.
Although an unlucky number it is said
it has never failed to bring luck in some
form to the person occupying it. When
A. C. Majors of Wichita, Kan, registered
last evening and asked for a room of
particular price No. Is happened to be
vacant, and Clerk Kohler assigned it to
him. AS he did so he handed him a tele-
gram which had just arrived.
What do you make out that word to
be-" he asked the clerk as he read the
dispatch. The clerk deciphered that the
word was "favorably"
Then 1 am just 100000 richer than
was five minutes ago." said the delighted
Kansan.
The dispatch was a brief one announc-
ing to him that some investment in min
ing stocks had turned out favorably
thereby netting him fortune.

Docs Advertising Pay Z

The success OF the opening of the new
store of the Siegel-Cooper Co., New York,
proves that advertising pays, and pays
well. According to reliable accounts 1OO,-
900 to 10000 people visited the store on
last Saturday night alone, and 1t has
been crowded every day since These i'm
mense crowds were drawn to the store by
advertising in the newspapers. Stimuli
taneously with the opening of the Siegel-
Cooper CO.. store. Macy, O'Neill. Enrich
Brothers. and Bloomingdale, the other
great advertising firms of the metropolis,
announced their fall opening, so as 10
prevent the new concern from monopoliz-
ing the attention of shoppers. These
mammoth department stores secure trade
by studying the art Of advertising, and
keeping their names and what they have
to sell persistently before the public.
Such houses do not combine to keep pur-
chasers in the dark as to prices, so that
they may sell at large profits; but they
let the public and their competitors know
what they are selling. and let competitors
beat them in getting trade II they can.
The policy of these houses Is to spend
3ls to per cent. Of the gross amount Of
business in advertising. They understand
that Advertising is just as much a legitl-
mate expense in successfully conducting
business as store rent or clerk hire, and
they spend as much for newspaper ad-
vertislng as they spend for either of those
items

Feared Competition From a Minister

Clergymen are frequently good story
tellers, says the Washington Star, but as
a rule, a proper dignity prevents them
from wanting to appear in that light pub
hcly. The following was narrated to
Star reporter by a popular divine:

Public schools Hygiene.

The Indiana state board of health has
promulgated a new set of rules for the
government of the public schools, based
upon up-to-date hygiene. States and slate
pencils must 60 They are believed to be
microbe hot beds In their places paper
pads and lead pencils must be used. All
pencils, pens and desks must be disin-
fected every day. The floors, windows
and wood work of school rooms must be
scrubbed and dislnfected each day. Ban
listers and tops of tables must be cleansed
and disinfected at least once a week No
scholar with dirty face or with unclean
clothing will be admitted. Open water
buckets are forbidden, and drinking
water must be kept in a closed vessel
and drawn through a faucet. Individual
drinking cups must be used All children
who show symptoms Of whooping cough,
or other cough, or who have
sore mouths, or any cutaneous disease,
or any complaint that may be commune
Gated to another. must be reported to the
health authorities, and will not be per-
mitted to attend school until they have
been cured. Schools must be provided
with lavatories and the scholars required
to maintain personal cleanliness.
These are the principle provisions of
the rules, which are quite lengthy. There
is some complaint in the cities that the
rules are too rigid. But It must be adj
mitted that they are founded upon COM
mon sense principles of health. The Chi
cago health authorities not long ago
adopted a set of health rules for schools
somewhat similar to those summarized
though probably not as broad. When the
Chicago schools opened for their fall ses-
sions the other day a corps of medical
inspectors were present to see that the
boards orders we're compiled with. These
inspectors will make regular periodical
visits. The teachers will be held respon-
sible for infractions of the regulations.
They are made the boards police. In
some of the Chicago schools during the
last session there were number of cases
Of typhoid fever. The authorities think
many Of them were communicated by
means Of drinking cups that had been
handled by children, from unhealthful
houses, whose hands were not clean.
Cases of diphtheria are believed to have
been traced to a common use Of drinking
vessels. The intention Is to prevent like
occurrences in future, and to promptly
isolate all children who show symptoms
Of contagious or infectious disease.

where Senator Hill stands.

The Glens Falls Times tells a little
story. There are in that town tailor and
a lawyer, both ardent democrats, who
have argued all the campaign on the rela-
tive merits of gold and silver, and the law
yer has been the free silverite. Finally
the lawyer thought to get an ally, says
the New York Times, and so he wrote to
the senior senator from his state, telling
him that he was making a great mistake
and losing a great many democratic votes
in that section by not coming out fatty
and declaring in favor Of Bryan. In a
little while he called again on the tailor
and boosted that he had received a reply
from the senator. He claimed great
things for that reply in support of his
own contentious in the arguments he and
the tailor still had but a prominent demo-
crat of the town, who has seen the letter,
says 1t reads: Dear Sir: Your favor at

Now the summer moribund is
And the pastures growing sere,
Vacuous the picnic fund is,
Reaped the harvest is of beer;
BY the road the sumac flirts its
Rudy flag to you and me,
And the oyster reasserts its
Palate wooing potency.

Gowns adorn the wayside wood,
Garden truck is relegated
To innocuous desuetude,

Now returning are to open
Weekly service in their church.

For the quadrilennial fight,
