Il can easier tell twenty what were good
to be done than be one of the twenty to fol-
low my own advice" says Shakespeare.
And he knew thing or two about adver-
ising. See how he keeps himself before
the public.
The really great advertisers are wonder
fully tolerant of criticism from any point Of
compass. They recognize that in spite Of
its strange parado1es, advertising is based on
fixed principles.
Like every other art its laws are learned
only by practice; but no matter who dis
covers them or who expounds item, they
sre just as sure and unchangeable as CRAWL
tation. That is law that monkey can
demonstrate with eoeoanut as completely
as Sir Isaac Newton IN all his glory.
Don't sit on the critic. Disprove his
criticism If you can, but be impersonal about
it. Discuss his principles or theories upon
their merits or dement's, independent of the
man who advances them. A wise man
can learn from fools; fool can't learn from
anybody.

Rldpath's History
of the World

embraces the whole story of men,
their origin, development, GUS
toms and beliefs; what they have
accomplished of good and of
evil how by their genius they
have builded great nations and
how by their follies and vices
they have ruined them.
From primeval man to your
next-door neighbor = from the
founding of the first dynasty,
1900 B. c., to the passage of the
Dingley Tariff bill-the evolu-
ton of mankind and the nations
is traced step by step, graph
cally, Interestingly, with no i'm
portant fact omitted, with no
unnecessary crowding of unim-
portant details.
The style is flowing, the nara
tive as absorbing as a romance
in striking contrast to every other
work that has attempted to deal
with such a range of facts and
figures.

One of the most abused public men Of
the country of late years has been ex.
Governor Altgeld of Illinois. He has
been called anarchist and various other
terms of opprobrium, and many people
lave thought him deserving of such
epithets. As Governor of Illinois he
pardoned Fielden and Sthwab, two
Chicago anarchists, whose sentences had
been previously committed by Governor
Oglesby to life prisonment, and also
pardoned Neebe, who was sentenced to
fifteen years Imprisonment. At the
time it was said the pardons were called
or by petitions more numerously and
inhuentialIy signed than any similar
petitions ever presented to the Governor
of the State. With the pardons Gov.
Altgeld sent out q written explanation
by way of vindication of his course as
he anticipated criticism. All this oc-
Cured some years ago and during these
years Gov. Altgeld has been assailed
with abuse and obloquy for his course.
The selection of Mr.. Lyman j. Gage, of
Chicago, for the treasury department by
President-elect Mckinley, has brought
out the fact that Mr.. Gage was one of
the prominent citizens who in letter
to the Governor, urged him to executive
Clemency in the cases of Fielden, Schwab
and Neebe. In an interview the other
day Mr.. Gage admitted the fact, but re.
fused a copy OF the letter. Mr.. Gage
no doubt acted as he thought right, and
Governor Altgeld also felt he was in the
line of duty and mercy in pardonlng
these men. The query comes in here
why should-Gov. Altgeld be abused for
such clemency aud those urging him
thereto escape.
