Nothing succeeds like success
and advertising One OF our ad-
vertisers says that he sold sixty
FIVE feet of garden hose the week
preceding making an announce
ment in the TRIBUNE OF special
sale OF that article. The week
following the announcement he
sold over four hundred feet and
candidly admits that the advertise
ment must have had something to
do with bringing about the in
creased business. Advertising al
ways brings results, especially if
you give it a portion Of your ex-
elusive attention and take as much
interest in it as you do any other
department of your business.

brought TO the floor OF the Chamber OK Com
merce where a great assembly cheered him when

situation was embarrassing. but he did not mag
inc he was in any danger. Speaking OF the
Spanish war. he said the Navy went into 1t be-
cause the Commander in Chief. William Mciiin-
lev and the Congress declared that war existed
with Spain That It war for humanity was
taken with some reservation by the Navy, though

but he added that the loss OF 266 comrades had
much TO do with the willingness with which orders
were obeyed. .
ignoring all reference 10 the officers who. he
said had been too fully praised already. he paid a
splendid tribute the men behind the guns. He
never saw such devotion and courage as these
men exhibited. Mrs. Browning had expressed the
idea exactly when she said they all stood ready
To fash their souls out with their guns and enter
their heaven at once That was The exact spirit
with which they fought.
