During the time that the month of May
was showing a chilly smile TO those who
expected a warmer welcome SlimS-an-
other name for well~known citizen-had a
novel experience. While in his library look
ing after some correspondence. he saw a
curious crowd in front with all eyes di-
rected toward his windows After satisfy
ing himself that the house was not afire
and that nothing unusual had happened to
any of his family, Sims returned to his
work, venting his annoyance in few NUT
tied he sprang up again to answer a sharp
summons at the door, for he saw a police
man there.
Beg your pardon, sir" began the bobby.
'but what's all them lights burnin' there
for?' pointing to the library windows.
That's none of your business, Mr.. Po-
liceman Now just dispense that crowd in
front and toddle along your beat"
but it is my business sir. It's broad
daylight and you have all your gas jets
besides two big lamps a-goin' full blast in

after and hunted up the maid of all work
in the rear of the house.
Don't be maxim n fool of yerself'' she

out we're not layin in no more coal till

ADVERTISING BREVITY.
Some SeasOnabIe, Sensible, Successful
Suggestions.

A few words inside of a buyer are worth
many words outside of him.
A nail driven to it's head will hold dozen
times better than dozen nails half driven
One penetrating point is worth hundred
scratches.
One argument driven home holds and
stays.
Many arguments upon the surface fade
and wash away.
The speaker of brevity holds his audi
ence
The long-winded speaker blows his hear
ers away.
If folks will not tolerate the long-drawn-
out novel, or the everlasting talker, it is
not fair to assume that they will put UP
with lengthy advertisements and volumin-
Gus argument.
The advertisement is nothing more nor
less than an invitation, or a suggestive
presentation, and if it overdo itself it does
no good to the sender of it or to the reader
of it.
An advertisement is never read by any
one with sense enough to buy anything if
the advertisement is not readable and prop
erly presented.
make it easy for the reader of his adver-
Using, and not to make it difficult for the
reader.
If it makes it difficult the reader will not
read more than a line of it, and perhaps
not that.
The advertisements which pay are almost
always those of commendable brevity and
of liberal space
few words in large type must be seen.
Many words in small type may not be
glanced at.
cupy a space large enough for it to be seen,
and the headlines in it. at least, must be
sufficiently bold, brief and strong to attract
a passing glance and to focus it, or draw
it, towards the descriptive matter, and the
descriptive matter must be so brief and so
pointed that the slightest effort on the
part of the reader absorbs the whole of it.
1t does not make any difference how
much matter the advertiser thinks the
reader will read.
1t makes all the difference in the world
how much matter the reader will read.
Until the advertiser can create and en-
force law compelling all readers to read
advertisements, common sense suggests
that the advertiser adapt the advertisement
to the reader, because he cannot adapt the
reader to the advertisement.
Everywhere brevity is commendable, and
ii is appreciated
OF course it takes a bright man to be
brief. because every fool can express him
self if he have words enough to do it with.
Go through any publication and the adj
vertisementS of breVIty represent the most
successful houses, and the longwinded add
vertisements represent the failures.
Do not misunderstood me. | do not mean
to say that the great department store can
not use thousands of words in a single adj
vertisement, because 1t must. but its head
ingS can be brief, and they can lead up to
the more solid matter.
There Is no excuse for making an adver-
tisement dry, for all advertisements can be
bright and if the descriptive matter must
be prosaic then the headings can be lively
and of that clean-cut brevity and pointed
strength which will bring people to the sub

NATURAL COKE.


fTOUl lue odlI lAdNc Altldlu'
In words of mineralogy 1t is learned that
there is such a product as natural coke,
but so far as known there has but one de-
posit of this commodity been found in the
United States, and this was in the vicin-
ity of Richmond, Va.
Although the deposits of coal in Utah
are immense in their proportions, it was
never dreamed that among its commodi-
ties of trade and commerce the state could
boast of beds of this natural coke, but
such is the case, however, and the Herald
is informed that a short time ago vein
of this coke had been discovered in a sec
ton of the country about 40 miles south
of this city, and within fifteen miles of a
railroad.
This deposit crops out on the surface for
some distance, and a % to 30-foot tunnel
has disclosed a body of coke that Is all
of five feet in width, and there is every
reason to believe that with depth the size
of this deposit will increase. In quality
the coke is all that could be desired and
at the assay offices at which it has been
tested the statement is made that it is a
pure aricle, and that it is even superior to
the manufactured coke, as it is entirely
free from sulphur, bitumen, and that ii
gives out no smoke when burned, and
makes less ash than the manufactured ar
ticle.
The new find, which is considered as be-
ing among the most valuable that has
been made in the state, is owned and con-
trolled by eX-Mayor r. n. Baskin and sew
eral other Salt Lake gentlemen, who have
located $40 acres in the immediate vicinity
of the discovery.
