When a man begins to advertise.

When man begins to advertise.
1t means he's full of enterprise;
He's got the barnacles off his back,
And shows his fellows where they lack
The old mossbacbs may growl and kick,
But the advertiser "gets there" quick,
Providing all his wares are straight,
Reasonable in price and up-to-date.
Truth and facts must be the rule;'
For the people now you cannot fool,
Since in this age they read and think,
And follow the light Of printers ink.

REV. DIR. MOSES d. HOGE DEAD.
The Eminent Presbyterian Divine
Passes Away Quietly at His
Home in Richmond.

Rev. Dr.. Moees D. Hoge, pastor OF
the Second Presbyterian church OF
Richmond, died early Friday morning
from the result of injuries received last
November in a collision of his buggy
with an electric car, aged eighty years.
He was one of the best known citizens
of Richmond, and his dealh is univer-
sally mourned. The recognized ap-
proach of death was unable to rob him
of tie measured dignity that character
lzed his lite. Two weeks or more ago
he himself dictated notice for use In
the local papers concerning his condi-
ton, which forecast his death.
He set his house in order in expecta-
ton of his approaching death, and, be-
sides arranging the details Of his own
affairs, also consulted the officers OF
the church as to the man to take up
the work that he has 80 ably conducted,
as pastor of the Second Presbyterian
church, for more than fifty years. He
also gave full directions as to his fun
eral, and, in accordance with the sim
plicity of his life, stipulated that the
arrangements should be without osttn-
tation. The elders and dsacons OF the
church constituted the pallbearers.
The easket was Of cedar wood, covered
with fine black cloth, silver plate
bearing DR.. Hoge's name, with dates
of bis birth and death.
TIE funeral took place Sunday after
noon from the Second Presbyterian
church, in the presence of large
gathering, many persons not being able
to get in. The services were Of the
simplest character possible, consisting
of selections from the Scripture, pray
ers, and the singing of several favorite
hymns of the deceased. Interment Yves
made in Hollywood cemetery, in the
presence of fully 10000 people. The
services were conducted by Rev. DON
aid Gutherie, DR.. Hoge's co-pastor.
whom it is said DR.. Hoge requested
should be his successor. He was As
sisted by three other Presbyterian
ministers. Many organizations sent
delegations to the church, and every
creed in the city was represented
through its clergy.

Moses Drury Hoge, D. D., LII. D.,
one of the leading divines of the Pres
byterian church, South, was born in
Hampden-Sdney, Va, the cradle of
Presbyte, ianism in Virginia, on Sep
TENDER II, 1918, and was educated In
the College and the Union Theological
SEMINARY of Hampden-Sidney; was
assistant pastor of the First Presbyter-
ian church of Richmond from 1S43 10
1916, when the Second Presbyterian
church of Richmond, was organized the
following year. DR.. Hoge succeeded to
the passionate OF the Second church and
remained at its head until bis death.
Invitations to the presidency of
Haupden- Sidney College and other
literary institutions; to become pastor
in Lexins ton, Va, st. Lou s, Brooklyn,
New York, Nashville, Philade'ph
New Orleans, Charleston, and else
where never tempted him flom tAe
field of his first labors. 1t has fallen
| to the lot of few men to attract such
COP gregaticns as habitually attended
his ministry, and still larger wherever
he went to preach OF lecture.
In 1864 he ran the blockade from
Charleston, s. c., and procured from
the British Bible Society grant OF
soLe 100000 copies of the Scriptures
for the Confederate ,oldiers. He was
moderator of the Presbyterian General
Assembly (Souih), which met in St.
Louis in 1876, and was delegate to
the International meeting Of the Ivan
gelical Alliance in New York in 1873,
and also ID Copenhagen in 1884. He
was delegate to the national meeting
Of the Alliance, in Boston, in 1889. He
also attended as delegate from the
United States councils of the Reformed
Churches (Pan-Presbyteriap) which
met in Edinburg, Scotland, in 1877.
and in London in 1883. In 1896 SER
vices were held concentrating his
Fifty years of service and a commemor-
rative volume published.
Since his accident last fall, the con-
dition of DR.. Hoge has been alternated
between better and worse. Upon the
advice of his physician, DR.. Hunter
Mcclure, he spent some weeks at Hot
Springs in The hope tina. his health
would be restored. He returned 20
Richmond slightly improved in health
out his advanced age and the serious
ness oil his injuries compelled HIM to
| AXE to his bed soon after Lis arrival
home and he gradually sank until he
rested from his labors Friday morning.
Thus one of the most famous figures in
the South has passed away.

Tourists Have Injured Them by Throwing
 Stones Into Their Craters.
 Barren as the place really is, the artists eye would revel in the beautiful effects on the snowy jokulls, the twi- light softening shades of mauve, greens and grays on the distant lava peaks, and the luminous midnight sky. The intensity of the blue water of lake or ocean is superb, and the mighty water falls are grand. And the geyser fields! All the warm tints, from cream to rus- set, are found in the mineral deposit around the basin of the Great Geyser, Little Geyser, Strokkr (the Churn), and the Little Strokl1r, while Blesi (the Blue One) is lined with exquisite white, like porcelain, making 1t fitting ves- sel for the cooking of food, and for fur nishing boiling water for our tea and coffee. It was so smooth and beautiful that seemed to be mutilating some- thing rare when I clipped off pieces of it's lining, but knew they would be valuable souvenirs, and the uneasy, bubbling water would soon amend the deficiency
 The mud pools on this plain are the most dangerous. for they spout hot mud diagonally out of the earth. Com ing upon them in one direction they are not seen, and many a visitor has gone home with a scalded foot. The hy- draulic display is now very f1tful and inconsiderate tourists have injured the spouting fountains by loading stones into them to see them cast out, so you must take your tent with you, and en- camp on the plain to await the pleas ures of their majesties Blesi will serve you we'll while waiting The Great Geyser had not spouted for a week when we were there, and such surliness indicated a near activity. The water spouted unusually high when It finally appeared, 150 feet, and showed all the tints of the rainbow, majestic at the same time and mysterious. It played for fifteen minutes, and then its beautiful cascades subsided in a feathery mist, a refined and graceful withdrawal

Woe Paris.

Parisians say that their beloved city is being ruined by the automobile fad, which is ten times worse than the bi- cycling fever ever dared to be. Luck fly there are not so many automobiles as bicycles, for they are expensive The sights, sounds and smells resulting from tho carriages propelled by petro- leum are driving people from the hou- levards.
 Half an hour after an automobile has passed traces of petroleum finger in the air. The beauty of 1t Is that the drivers of tho vehicle cannot smell it-it inflicts itself only on the passers- by.
 Some stunning toilets are to be seen on the pretty women who have desert~ ed their bicycles for the automobile. Sometimes the carriages are tphol- stered to match madame's favorite gown--in gray or crimson broadcloth, with parasol tops and soft cushions for dainty shoes. The fact that she has to guide her carriage successfully before critical judge, who passes on her pro ficiency in the art before she can get a license to wheel wherever she will has no effect on nadame's determina- tion to join the merry throng on the boulevards.

Some PNxniology..

The muscles of the human body ex- ert force of 534 pounds. The quan- tity of pure water which blood contains in it's natural state is very great; 1t amounts to almost seven-eighths. The blood is fifth of the weight of one body. A man is taller in the morning than at night to the extent of half an inch or more, owing to the relaxation of the cartridges. The human brain is the twenty eighth part of the body. but in the horse tbe brain is not more than the four hundredth.

$100 per VI. On this lot freight was paid at the rate Of I5 cents per M. This would nuke the total cost delivered $1. 1.15 per NJ. Now, not q single local printing establishment was asked to give an estimate on thi3 order. and there is prob ,blv not a local printing house that could not duplicate the price deliver |ed On same grade of envelopes and in same sized quantities. Certain 1t is that the Adams Wilson Printing Go. could duplicate the price and the order, for It's large plant is operated by steam power, 1t purchases in large quantities and has the same facilities for quick, neat and artistic job printing that can be fnuL q in the larger cities. And every dollars worth of patronge given it means just that much more employment and encouragement to home labor and home enterprise.
 Another instance of where n local firm lost money in sending It's orders away from home is n To a. manu- featuring concern that ordered small pamphlet which cost $i7.0O In Chicago, and which could have been done by any of the local print ing houses for $l2.00.
 1t pays to patrOnize home, and those who order from abroad ire qnently pay more and ,lo themselves and their town an injustice.
