"Speak not at all, in any wise"
says Carlyle, ''till you have some
what to speak. F" This is the true
philosophy of commanding an au-
dlence; and it is just as pertinent
for those who speak through types
as for any other set of speakers.
The whole problem-of effective adj
vertising is embraced in the two
principles: First, get somewhat
to speak, then gather your audi
ence by the mighty cumulative
power of publicity.

When a person is losing flesh and
wasting away there is cause for alarm
Nothing SO worries a physician. Con
surnptives would never die if thew cou1d
regain their usual weight In fact there
would be no consumption if there was no
wasting of the system. The cause of this
loss OF flesh is failure to properly digest
the TODD eaten. Nine-tenths of all orr
diseases date back to some arrangement
of the stomach.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial will ston
this wasting of the body. 1t acts nv

I'm Important Recommendation Made
by Third Assistant Postmaster
General Merritt.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S-The annual
report of Third Assistant Postmaster
General Merritt, for the fiscal year just
closed. was made pubic tonight. Fol-
lowing is a abstract:
The postal revenue for the year and the
total actual expenditures were follows
Ordinary postal revenue, $S1, ,69S. PSI; re-
ceipts from ordinary monev-order busi-
me s.. 1867 ISL; revenue from all sources.
$50, ,e65 462. Expenditures-Actu m cunt
of the expenditures for the no @tal service
for the year ending June 30. 1897, which
includes all made on account of the year
up TO three months after its close, $685.
1927 expenditures on account OF previ-
Gus years, 1895 954; total, $94, OF 242; ex-
cess of expenditures over receipts, $1l,

A significant recommendation is one
urging that pre- payment in full of all mail
matter be required hereafter. The report
says that the department has for years
past been suffering heavy loss of revenues
from the failure o: postmasters to rate up
and collect postage on tiIst-class matter
not fully prepaid.

with having broken into the schoolhouse
for the purpose of committing arson on
Decem Der IA last, WIS commenced to-day.
The prosecution closed its case this after.
noon.
On the night of December IA J. S. Ul-
rick, special watchman at the school
house, heard a noise at the west end of
the building and found that some one was
opening one of the wind ows from the out
side with a rake. Ulrick drew his revolver
and crouching down near the window
awaited developments. The intruder,
after dropping a sack into the room,
elm bed through the window. The watch
man covered him and ordered him TO hold
up his hands, but the order was not COM
piled with until Ulrick threatened to
shoot.
Up 10 this time the watchman had not
been able to distin guish anything but the
outlines of the intruder but on striking a
match he was surprised to find that he
was confronted by mere boy. In re-
sponse to the watchman's questions the

and that he had been dragged from his
bed by mau named "Bill" Hoppe, who
made him walk to the schoolhouse and
threatened to kill him unless he set fire
to the bniding. Ulrick was satisfied from
the boys manner that he was lying, but
as the sack which the youngster bad
thrown into the room before he entered
contained a can Of coal oil and some finely
split kndling, he resolved to investigate
further.
A visit to the Anderson ranch soon dis
proved the first part of the boys story,
and after be had been turned over TO tn
local authorities he was Identified as the
son of The superintendent of the Dunde-
berg mine, near Bridgeport, Cal. As there
had been seven or eight attempts at arson
in the vicinity shortly before the boy s
arrest, several of which had proved disas-
trous, it was determined 10 prosecute the
juvenile burglar, who evidently has de.
stTuctive mama.
The attorneys for the defense sprang a
surprise this afternoon by objecting to The
introducing of evidence, on the ground
that there was no crime such as that de-
scribed Dy tie Indictment known to the
