word. 1T Is little closer 10 it than the
other system was, but it won't put the
man in the ranks of the real up-to-date
financiers. He still has something TO

II don't see how a financier could do
much better than that" asserted the back
county man.
That's because you're unsophisticated"
replied the other. The genuine financier
would round up two men who We're each
good for as much as $50, and he'd strike
the first one in an off-hand way for 81.
That would be small enough to be easy
money, and the next day he would hold
up the other fellow for 81. That would
enable him to pay back the first and have
81 over for incidentals. These prompt
payments would keep his credit good and
also keep both of his capitalstic friends
from thinking of asking for an I. o. o.,

working up to the $40 point. That would
be 500 on an investment of nothing but
nerve and little time. and that is what

FINANCIERING EXPLAINED.
A Chicago Expert Tells What 1t Is
and How 1t Is Accomplished.

From the Chicago Evening Post
81 cannot get it through my head ex-
actly what you mean when you speak of
a financier," remarked the unsophisticat-
ed man from the back county. What is a
financier?"
"Well," replied the man OF the world
thoughtfully, ct is rather difficult to
make that perfectly clear TO man who
has had as little business experience as
you have had. OF course could give you
the dictionary definition but that might
not make it quite clear to you"
"Is a successful business man a ffnan-
cier?' asked the unsophisticated one
"He may be or he may not. OF course
a successful business man is likely to
know something about fnaneiering meth
DDS, but Il is seldom that he Is the real
thing. He thinks he is until the genuine
article comes along, and then he sees his
mistake"
How about the successful banker?"
HE is more likely to be a ffnancer, but
he isn't always-not by a good deal. Per-
haps, however, 1 can illustrate the pre-
vailing idea of financier so that you will
grasp it,
go ahead"
The man Of the world gave moment
or two to deep thought and then cleared
his throat and undertook to make the mat
ter clear.
Suppose" he said you were a young
man just starting out in life and were
watching you to see whether you devel-
oped the instincts and business sagaclty
of financler or only ranked up with the
ordinary business man"
'Supposition accepted" continued the
unsophisticated one. Let her slide
Suppose, starting out In a modest way
you wanted TO borrow $40, and you went to
man who had it to spare and stated

offer for the loan"
"Wen?'
"WelL that would be business, but not
financiering. He would ask what security
you had and il IL proved sufficient he
would advance the money and take the col
lateral charging you interest at the rate
of about per cent Then, when the time
came TO settle you would have to walk up
to the captains Office and lay down the
cash or you would lose your security"
That seems like fair DEAL" suggested
the man from the country.
at Is a fair DEAL answered the man
of the world, but you were not asking
about fair deals. You were asking about
financiering, and the man who got his
money in this way could not be called a
financier by any stretch Of the imagina-
ton"
The man from the country nodded to
show that he was beginning 20 understand
and waited for The other to go on.

The Best Medium of Advertising.

An Associated Press dispatch from
Cleveland says: Manager Hartz, of
the Euclid avenue opera house, believes
he has demonstrated the superiority
of newspaper advertising over all
other forms. Last week he decided
to abandon all advertising by means
of bill board posters or window hang
ers and to depend upon the newspa-
pers entirely. The only posters shown
were those at the entrance to the thea

was gratifying. Tonight Julia Mar

PAYNE IN A SORRY PLIGHT.
The Arraying of Labor Against the GAR
nishee Law worrying Him.


Hon. William Payne is still going
about the county apologizing for him
self. 1t is a sorry plight that the
would-be senator finds himself in.
He must either stand as the champion
of legislation that the laboring men
of the state are in arms against. or he
must repudiate such legislation and
thereby repudiate himself. For a
man who boasts that he governs his
entire course at Springfield in accord
ance. with the ideas of his constitu-
ents. and who is careful to obtain the
sediments of that constituency be-
fore acting, this is refreshing
spectacle. And so Payne finds him
self. The convention of the State
Federation of Labor, held in Decatur
last week, passed resolutions con-
demning the Case or grocers' gar
nishment law, and requested all union
men to use their efforts to defeat all
candidates who voted for the bill, and
also to demand from candidates a
pledge to work for its repeal. Speak
ing of this bill and of the SD senator
ial district, the Chicago Tribune says:
''Some of the workingmen in the
district are displeased with Payne on
account of his vote for what is known
as the grocers' garnishment bill.
This measure was shot through the
general assembly in the closing hours
of the last regular session. 1t is GO
ing to prove the death of many man
who voted for it. In fact, the feeling
about the law is so strong that any
number of men who supported it
have already pledged themselves to
vote for its repeal"
Is Payne one of those who after vot
ing intelligcntly, as he boasts of
always doing, according to the die
tates of his constituents. is now
for the mere political advantage of
such policy, condeming his own
course, and is he willing to so renounce
himself in order to get back? Mr..
Payne's past constituents whose
wishes he subserved in voting for the
measure are doubtless as much in
terested in his present attitude as la
Dor is in his past record.

MILLER'S NARROW ESCAPE.
Hobo Has a Thrilling Experience in Rail-
road Yards.

John Miller, hobo, who has been
about town for some time, came very
nearly being the victim of serious
accident near the waterworks this af-
ternoon. He was hanging onto a
freight car which was being switched
up into the yards and was jolted off
as the car wheels passed over
a frog. The mans head struck
close to the rail, so close that his hat
was cut to pieces. but he escaped with
a seXere confusion. which, while it
bled profusely, is not regarded as SER
ious. Miller was taken to the police
station in the patrol wagon.

people should gather reconsider public

The War in Politics.

Referring to the war, Mr.. Prince
stated that it was the grandest and
most glorious in the worlds history,
and was managed admirably. There
was nothing for the United States to
do but to keep the islands that she had
wrested from the government of the
Spaniards in order that the natives
might live as humans. That was the
policy of President Mckinley and
himself, and he believed it was ex-
pressive of public feeling, and if the
people wanted such a policy carried
TO successful end they should return
a republican congress to stand ut the
back of the president.
Mr.. Prince said that men should al
ways cast their votes where it would
do them the most benefit, regardless
of their political convictions. He did
not want the suffrage of any man I'M
less the voter felt that he was entitled
to it-that's what he said at first
but then in winding up he mustered
sufficient nerve to say that voters
would find it to their best interest to
rally TO the support of the g. o. p
ticket from top to bottom
Mr.. Prince concluded with an ap-
peal for Sister Payne, who he said was
a good man. and all the candidates on
the republican county ticket, many of
whom were present to hear them
selves jollied. The speaker missed
out on Henry Hubbard, but one of
Henry's friends whispered in the con-
CHEESEMAN'S ears, and he said a few
words for the man who would like to
