Results Of Advertising.

When [ talk to man who has
made a fortune by advertising 1
wonder that anybody who has any
thing to sell does not go and do like
wise. One man told me day or two
ago that his concern, with a nom
,inal capital of 100000, only $50, 600
of which was paid in. has divided in
a single year among three partners
profits to the amount of $3.50, 900,
and that exclusive of salaries Of
$50, 1000 and S25. 600 drawn by two
members Of the firm. Ten or twelve
years ago this man was drug clerk
on small salary in a western town,
and is now one of the millionaires of
New York. Without advertising I
might have made living" he said,
''but it was advertising that made
me rich, and advertising a very sim
pie commodity at that.
Another man, who bears similar
testimony, tells me that his concern,
which began by investing 5000 a
year in advertising, increased the
amount every year according to
their increase of business, and this
year expects to spend 81. 900, 900.

of His Beast.
Georgia has been called 1.-THE New
England of the South, on account
of the business energy of her people.
But, like Yankee-land, the state has
her shiftless, lazy inhabitants. one
of whom is thus sketched by a Geor-
gia lady: 1 sat by my window one
day last summer. It was noon, and
the thermometer registered ninety
four degrees on the shady porch
outside.
An ox-team came slowly into
sight, pulling creaking, grooming
wagon, seated upon which was a
long, thin, Georgia cracker. hold
ing the single guiding rope with one
hand, and cracking a whip over the
backs of the oxen with the other.
Tediously and laboriously they
came down the long red-clay hill in
the hot sunshine. Just in front of
my window one Of the oxen began to
reel, digging his head into the
ground, and showing every evidence
of being overcome by the intense
heat
sent our gardener to dash a
bucket of water over the poor beast,
calling out eXcitedly at the same
time to the owner to come in for
more water. The man glanced up
stupidity, but stood motionless,
watching the contortions of the suf-
fering animal
Il called again, more insistently,
thinking he had not understood me,
and adding:
''If you don't do something at
once the OK will diet'
Once more the long, gaunt
Georgian looked in my direction and
drawied out, laconically:
tits my-ox- ain't it?" and
subsidized again into silent stolidity.
Like statue he stood for more than
an hour, bracing his loose length
against convenient shade tree, and
watched my man draw and carry out
several more buckets of water, be-
sides giving other remedies to the
sick beast.
When the OK showed the first signs
of a return to a normal state the
cracker serenely mounted the wag-
on, and without a word of thanks to
anyone gathered up the rope,
cracked his whip, and with lazy:

Stop the Stiffness.
From the Springfield Republican

FROM tne Sprlngneld Republlcan.
How our top-heavy monetary system
is to stand the strain Of such a canvass
as is now projected is question. Tow
ering outward and above a small gold
reserve is the billion of dependent silver
and paper, and this inverted pyramid is
asked to keep its delicate balance against
the shocks of the gathering political tor
nado. 1t is consequently not reassurlng
to find domestic distrust already en-
gagged in eating away at the narrow base
of gold in the treasury. Over million
dollars were taken out of the reserve
last week, apparently for domestic
boarding, and the shrieks of the New
York press over the unparalleled crash
and ruin which await the success of the
radicals-improbable as such success
seems TO be--are not calculated to STAY
this most disturbing of all symptoms
domestic run on the reserve. II it keeps
up to any degree the foreign creditors
will assuredly join in it. The sooner
this panicky and passionate bowling of
the financial press is stopped the better
il will be for all concerned.
