THE WESTERN WIND.

Yet on my check feel the western wind
And hear it telling 10 the orchard trees
And TO the faint and flower forsaken bees
Tales of fair meadows, green with constant
streams,
And mountains rising blue and cool behind,
Where in moist dells the purple orchis CLEANS,
And starred with white the virgins bower is
twined.
So the oerwearied pilgrim, as he fares
Along life's summer waste, at times il famed,
Even at noontide, by the cool, sweet airs
OF o serener and holier land,
Fresh as the morn and as the dewfall bland
breath of the blessed heaven for which we pray,
Blow from the eternal hills-make glad
Our earthly wayl

A TOUGH GOOSE.
Cruel Joke Played Upon the Old Negro
by Taxidermist.
John G, Whittier

OOhO Opoh OiN ANoBhO
by a Taxidermist.
Every day for the past half decade an
old gray haired negro has passed through
the grounds Of the National museum on
the way to the northwest, where he makes
living by doing easy tasks for his old
mistress. The workshop of the taXidor-
mists has ever boon place of great inter
est to the old man, and he never passes
their door without CHEEKY morning greet
ing or visit OF uncertain duration,
Tho scientists, TOO, have grown fond of
their dusky friend, and Nose is the first
one Tor whom they inquire when returning
from the long journeys and the last person
for whom good natured message is left
as they leave.
But he scientists cannot resist an oCca.
sion; joke at the expense of the old man.
MGSc happened into their workshop the
day lDcic Christmas, just after one of the
Scirn iats had been skinning large bald
eagle AS the old negro wandered aimless
ly about the room, airing his unfaillng
wealth Of interrOgatlNcs, ono OF the taxi
dermists called to him.
"Mose, would you like to have nice
goose for your Christmas dinnerl"
"Deedy would l'zc 'bliged to you q
t'ousnnd times if you GIBBS me de goose, II
exclaimed Nose enthusiastically.
When he left the shop the lifeless body
Of the eagle protrudcd conspicuously from
the newspaper bundle under his arm, the
old man still expressing his gratitude vol
ubly as long as he remained in sight
Monday Nose again wandered into the
shop. "How did you like that goose
Mose?" asked the chief
dat goose" said Nose ruefully, twas
just de TOUCHES goose cher / see. Golly
he must hab been de fader Fall dc ganders

"Oh, you didn't cook It right" said thu
chief, with smile at the others. Com,
in tomorrow, and we will give you anoth
err"
The next day, when Nose came hob
bling in, large snowy owl lay on tn,
bench, with its skin drawn over It's head.
There is your goose, Nose, " said th'
chief in as nonchalant a manner as posi-
| Dle.
The old negro looked suspiciously from
the scientists to the Bird scratching hi

American Tobacco COmpany's AdVer-
Using Goes to Newspapers.
G. ii. Haulenbeek Advertising Agency
Puts This Publication In the
List.
The American Tobacco Co. believes in

The American Tobacco Co. believes in
advertising.
The American Tobacco Co. believes in
newspaper advertising.
The American Tobacco Co, is vast
commercial concern, and its recent APP
preparation of $750,OOO, t. be spent in
newspapers in the advertising of one of
its brands-"Battle AK" Plug Tobacco
-is worthy of more than passing com
ment.
To expend this amount of money judi
ciOusly is a problem. This will be Ohvi-
Gus to any advertiser. Its solution is
therefore instructive to every merchant
and producer who has need of publicity
for his business welfare.
This, then, was the determination
finally reached. The detail necessary to
the handling of this volume of b lsiness
demanded the experience and equip
ment Of an Advertising Agency of the
first class
The G. II. Haulen heck Advertising
Agency of New York City was there
fore Sc ected, and estimates were pre-
pared to cover the entire country for
such mediums as were thought to be
desirable ~ bring quick and sure re-
turns.
In this connection it is Ger ainly par
donable for the HERALD to call atten-
ton to the fac that the HERALD was
included in the list.
There is point To be made Just here,
and it is that if the" foreign" advertiser,
| having practically unlimited means and
exercising judgement born of years of
experience, decides upon given med
ium, it is because of the excellence of
that particular medium, for the field
| that it covers.
Local advertisers will do well to re-
| fleet on this point. 1t is pregnant with
meaning to every one OF them.
The mode of presentation was the
question to be settled after the means of
prese ntatiun had been decided, and
here again the smaller merchant will
find Tip"
There was no nibbling at the PROPOSE
tinn With brOad-guage business views,
backed with splendid business courage,
the first "copy' called for an entire page.
This served to Tivet attention, and the
contract then requires that the lesson
shall be driven home every week by
convincing arguments occupying six
teen inches of space, splendidly illus
trated and displayed
In conception and execution this bust
ness is unique.
The American Tobacco Co. has taken
the dull season, which was made duller
by the timid who feared the war as a
factor in business, and it has given u
colos sal order a. an indication that, il
times are dull, the thing to do is to make
them brighter, and the right way t.
make them brighter is through judicious
advertising.
New spaper advertising is the hest way
to make good tim if you have any
thing really good 10 offer, aud the way
to use newspaper adv Using is witt
generous space and proper display.
1t was p. T. Barnum who said: 81
you only have $40 capital to begin you
business, and want to make money, h'
newspapers"
A feature of this stupendnus "ordel
has been the perfection of its manipul a
ton. due IT, the arrangements made by
the G. II. Haulenbeek Agency.
