He Believes in Advertising.

The man who says he doesn't believe in
advertising, says Brains, doeSn' mean wi at
lie saws If he did he would take down his
sign-tlrat's advertising He would take
all the goods out of his windo ows-that's $
advertising.
What he would say if he told the truth is
that he doesn't know anything about real
advertising His efforts in that direction
have been so crude and so clumsy that they
have brought no returns.
What can we say or do to this man to
convince him that he doesn't know il all,
and that really good advertising is wtat
his business is pining for?

OUR VENERABLE SAGE.

The average American loves a million
loves a lord. 1t is pleasant for Us to bask
in the light of a smile that covers wealth
enough to buy a city with all its contents,
real, personal, human and inhuman 1t
would take good deal to make the best
of us cut the acquaintance OF a million
aire friend
These pleasant thoughts occur as one
reads the publication of an interview which
Mr. Frank Carpenter recently had with
Uncle Russell Sage. He is affectiopately
called uncle" in Wall street, not so
much because he ever has seemed fond
and indulgent relative to the brokers' but
rather because he is the great money
lender of the Street and OF The nation.
ANY cne, no matter how poor, can go to
him and borrow a cool million in cash
security to offer. Thus he has been Of
the greatest benefit to struggling young
financers who sometimes hardly know
which way TO turn for d million or two.
While always warm hea rted and inter
ested in youth, Uncle Russell has doubts
about the younger generation in New York
He tells the interviewer that he never
yiSitScIubs himself; but he constantly meets
in such places exponents of the gilded
life of the metropolis, who wear swallow
tails, eat expensive dinners, drink little
and gamble a little all on thousand dol
lars j year. He weeps for this, and says
the boys ought TO stay home nights and
polish up bright eye for the chances OF
life He knows that cold brain beats
a similar bottle when it comes to seizing
chances. He deplores the hard times and
the suggestive cheapneSs of things, and
only wears a six dollar coat as an object
lesson, probably to his bOokkeepers.
He is over eighty and practically started
life as a member OF the Ways and Means

The Tariff and Politics.
(From the Boston Post.)

IT TUflI tIIE BOSbOH IUSU.T
Instead OF a tariff drawn SO as to pay
off tile campaign debts of Hanna's conf
mittee to the large contributors to the fund
for McKinley's election, we could expect,
from properly constituted commission, n
tariff that would have reason and con
sistency and some degree of inIpartiality
If the tariff question could be removed
from party politics the business OF the
country would at last find itself free from
one Of the greatest causes OF anxiety.
