What Is the use OF making a better
article than your competitor II you
can not get better price for It?
Ans-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better, so that while our profits may be
smaller on a single sale they will he
much greater In the aggregate.
How can You get the public TO know
your make Is the best?
II both articles are brought promi-
nently before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass Judgment on them
and use only the better one.

Smith saw many strange and move
sights and had many adventures dur
ing his visit TO the Philippines. He was
most impressed he readily says by the
grand fighting qualities Of the Amer
lean soldiers and by the complete sur-
cess OF every one of the boys from Ho-
nolulu. Smith declares that each Isl
and man proved himself equal to cy-
cry call and that in emergencies Ha-
waiian boys were invariably 10 the
fore. Smith speaks Of many of the
officers in the most complimentary
terms, but especially OF Colonel Hawk
ms, OF the Tenth Pennsylvania. At one
time in a crisis in action the colonel
shouted TO his men: We must go
ahead Remember your forefathers. II
will never do for American soldiers to
retreat on foreign soil" Major Tilden
Is another officer greatly admired by
Smith. Tilden left a sickbed TO COM
mand his battalion in action and could
scarcely walk when he Went into the

think much OF either the Spaniards OF
natives as men,

y Shortly ntter noon yesterday, In the
United States court ut Columbus, the
jury in the case OF Harry n. Clark no.
tiled the court that they had succeeded
In arriving at a verdict. The Jury was
called Into the court room later In the
day and anpbunced that they had found
the defendant guilty on two counts OF
the Indictment and not guilty on one.
Judge okey, who was left in charge
OF the case when Judge briggs came
home, was not in the court room when
the Jury announced that q verdict had
been found. This was the cause Of some
little delay. As soon as the absent law

okey at once made motion for q new
trial and arrest OF judgment. This mo-
ton Will be argued on Saturday.
The defendants bond was fixed ut
$1,000. twas signed by his sister, Mrs.

As soon rs Clark heard that the jury,
had arrived at a decision, he knew what
1t meant. He knew that II the jury
agreed II was conviction. His only hope
was for disagreement. Clark steeled
himself to bear the verdict and did SO
without a tremor. Although. his eyes
were filled with tears, he went through
