show Window Advertising.

WindoH decoration for advertising
purposes has of late years been carried
to such degree Of perfection that it may
be justly regarded as an art in which the
highest success is attained by those who
are endowed with the instincts and talents
of true artists. II your store has not the
best of show window arrangements in il
today, order them changed before clos.
ing tonight, because you are losing valu.
able time in taking advantage of one Of
the best advertising mediums at your
command. If your whole front is occu-
pied with doors, if your windows are too
high for good exterior view, if divided
up into more than one large pane of glass,
or not deep enough for a fine display OF
your most attractive goods, they are
wrongly constructed and should be
changed at once.-American Druggist.

Democratic politicians are devoting all
OF their attention to carrying the next
General Assembly in the hope of return
ing George Gray to the United States
Senate. They are calculating upon the
district system of voting to help them,
because they think that the districts
were gerrylnandered as much as was
possible by the Democrats in the Consti-
tutional Convention.
The Democrats believe that the three
holding-over senators, together with the
men elected from the other gerryman-
dered districts, will enable them to con-
troll the next Legislature.
In making their calculations the
Democrats make no allowance for doubt
full districts, although the chances are
that the Republicans will carry all of
them. The most sanguine Democrats
now claim the next Legislature by a
majority of four on the joint ballot only
These Democrats make this aim:

This last estimate appears to be about
as little as the Republicans could count
upon, and the chances are, that in the
coming contest the Republicans will
carry more districts than they are now
credited with by the Democrats.
There is a general feeling that all of
the Democratic candidates for senator
are out of the contest. Their friends are
still doing missionary work among the
Democratic candidates, but they appear
to be leading forlorn hope. The hope

nght. should myself have put the

too, without the least hazard of BODY
or limb. Ali the great historians have
got credit at one time and another for
their vividness in depicting battles
carlyle remember especially as hay
ing had this praise. Yet Carlyle never
saw a battle; he never, / fancy, saw
even the autumn maneuvers, and a ma
]or1ty OF the historians are in the same
case. As for the novelist-well, the
amount of fighting they have never
seen is simply prodlgious! Mr.. Crockett
himself, who is so especially at home in
1T with his pen, was a minister, confined
to placid country charge until quite
lately, when he resigned himself COM
pletely to literature. 1t really must be
comparatively easy, even for men whose
personal experience has been only of
peace, to put up a first-class fight
in the study, if they are given plenty
OF time and quiet. And yet there have
been half a dozen novelists who have
come into fame within the last three
or four years simply on the strength
of their battle pictures" And this
simply among those who write in Eng
lish; go into the foreign tongues and
you will double or triple the number.
What number of short stories, within
the like term, have been accepted and
published for no other grace than that
of portraying a good fight, no one can
say but it is certainly large. So, if
one were supplying tips" to literary
aspirants, one would say: Whatever
else you do or fail to do, don't fail to
embody in your tale real, red fight"
L infer, however, from my own manu-
script reading that a good three-fourths
of the literary aspirants are already
"onto" it.

There is now under trial new
method of selling books that may yet
work something very near to revolu-
ton in the publishing and bookselllng
trades. A year or two ago a new firm
of publishers in this city, seeking a
means Of making an original and sure
impression on the reading public, hit
upon the plan of sending books on ap-
provaI to whoever requested it, the in
tention and expectation being that If
the books thus submitted proved to be
as represented, they would be kept,
and the price Of them sent to the pub
fishers. They have followed this policy
ever since, and now other publishers
are showing a disposition to make a
trial of it. was talking the other day
with the man who originated the idea.
and I asked him how it had worked
out. He said:
"Our first announcement to send
books on approval was issued early In
the spring, and it apparently made
little impression; a diScouragingly
small number of people answered our
first advertisement. The selling season
in books grows worse as a rule, with
the approach of warm weather; but our
new venture grew better and better as
the season advanced, and in May, June
and July the Individual orders went
far toward making up for the lack of
orders from booksellers, who buy at
that time of the year only for definite
orders"
And where and from whom did your
responses Gomez" asked.
Our expectation was that the offer
would appeal primarily to readers far
from towns and cities, where book
stores were unavailable; it was no part
of the idea to enter into competition
with the local bookseller. Yet Cor sew
eral months the majority of the re-
quests for new books came from the
larger towns and cities. Later, how
ever. the smaller places in remote
parts Of the country, began to be heard
from; but even now about one-half the
orders come from the cities and larger
towns. At first the eastern and middle
states sent the larger proportion of re-
quests: but later the distribution be-
came more general. AS fall approach
ed, the plan grew still more in favor
Book lovers came to know that there
was no trick behind it: and before the
end of the year we found that we could

w. A. Fraser, the Canadian engineer
who writes stories out of his own
strange experience in two opposite
quarters of the globe, Canada and In
dia, is rejoicing in the arrival Of new
daughter. The young lady enjoys the
distinction of having Mr.. Rudyard Kip
ling for her godfather and she has
been christened Ruth Kipling Fraser
Her father says she is to be called
Kip" OF course, it is open to any
admirer to name his baby after Mr..
Kipling, but in Mr. Fraser's case there
was a special impulse, not to say al
most obligation, for while they were
yet, personally, entire strangers, Mr..
Kipling showed extreme friendliness to
some of Mr.. Fraser's offspring. l think
I have, at one time or another, referred
to the matter in this correspondence,
but there viii be no harm in repeating.
One Of Fraser's early -stories-almost
his earliest, in fact-a story of life in
India, Mr.. Kipling's own special field,
into which he might, naturally enough,
not be too ready to welcome a new
conner, fell under his eye and pleased
him, and he took the trouble to write
to the author in praise of it. Thus be-
gan an acquaintance, in the course of
which Kipling has constantly stood
Frasers friend and counseled and en-
way. So bestowing the name of Kipling
ON the new extension of the Fraser
family was no more than would be
prompted by common gratitude, to say
nothing of admiration.
Mr.. Fraser, by the way, has lately re-
turned to his home at Georgetown,

neering work in the far parts of Brit

spring, when he will have to take to
the field again. he will be. giving his
pen a good drive. His book of stories
will be published in the spring. AL
though he has published widely in peril
odicals-in Canada, in the United
States and in England-and has at
tanned to the enviable position where
editors actually write to him, soliciting
stories, yet this will be his first book.
This fact bespeaks somewhat the quail
ity of the man; he has had from the
first the high desire to make his way
surely, rather than with speed.
Some English reviewer, taking up a
new novel by Mr.. Crockett, remarked
lately that Mr.. Crockett had two useful
qualifications as a novelist-he could
construct aestoy and he could describe
