derived.

TALKS ON ADVERTISING
Charles Austin Bates. q New yor,s
TALK VII.

business success. lights that we
do not dream of will b. attained by
twentisth century merchants. l am
one Of those who believe that there il
no limit to the possibilities Of human
achievement.
This il the frame Of mind one gets
into sfser looking at such stores as
Wanamakers in Philsdelphis and
New York, Siegel-Coopsr Co.'S in
Chicago and New York, Macy's and
Bloomingdsls's in New York, The
Fair and Carson, Pirie, Scott 4 Co.'S
in Chicago.
The vast scope of such enterprises,
the magnificent system, the quick,
alert, business wit that it takes to
direct them-these gives one conf
dence in future successes. Fifty
years-ago such establishments were
not dreamed of. What will the next
fifty years bring forth?
These great stores owe their
growth to advertising to the diffu-
sion of store news, for of what use
are the finest stores and the biggest
bargains if the people knew nothing
of them?
The science Of the advertising is IN
its infancy. 1t is growing in import
ance and efficiency every day 1t used
to be speculative venture. Now it is
a scientific certainty.
Speaking Of Bloomingdale Bros,
| understand that during the first
week of a cersain sale" they had
recently they spent $4,000 for ad-
vertising and that the estimat cd profits
on the weeks business were $25. 900.
Bloomingdale's wasn't always a big
store. The brothers are both young
men. The business has been built
within twenty years: built By judi
cious. persistent, truthful advertising
Just as any other business may te
built.
Advertising is merely telling people
in telling way what you can do for
them. If you tell them often enougt
and in the right way. there is no pos
sibility Of failure.
Frieads In Couneit Meet.
The meeting of the Friends in
Council last Friday WAS an unusually
pleasant one. Mrs. Prentiss' paper,
"A Journey to Rome" was doubly
interesting from the fact that it
described . journey actually taken
BY the writer. and was illustrated by
large book of photographs which
she had collected during her travels.
Then followed Mrs. wray's paper on
Holland" She gave . pleasant sur
prise BY appearing in real Dutch
costume of centuries ago and her
paper was series Of surprises, con-
tanning an interesting description Of
Holland, its people and their customs,
and a. each leaf was turned there
appeared drawing Of what had just
been described, thus proving that

WHAT RETIRED SOLDIERS SAY
About the Condition of Things in the Philip
pines.

The Kansas City Times says: A train
of II cars, bearing four companies A, B,
C and Def United States soldiers, con-
stituting the LIST battalion of the 14th
regular infantry, passed through the city
last night TART of them on their way to
Fort Wayne. near Detroit, and part of
them to Fort Brady, Mich. Each COM
PAW number about 60 men. The soldiers
seemed to be unanimously of the opinion
that he wcr IS as far from ended as
when the fighting first began. 'Wher-
ever the soldiers are" said one, the
country is quiet, but everywhere else
they are in arms, and the country won't
be paciied until the niggers are all killed
off like the American Indians. He was
only a private. The officers were more
guarded in their statements. But capt
Yeatman, the commanding officer, man
of intelligence and of recognized bravery,
and Lieut.. Field, also distinguished
soldier. expressed themselves in much
the same terms. at is hard to say about
the paci(ication of the islands, said Capt.
Ycatman. because much depends upon
the character of the natiVes-that 49,
whether they will really stick TO their
expressed determination or whether they
are subject to few leaders who will
be killed or captured. Somehow. 1t s
strange you know, said the captain with
a meaning smile-"those fellows have
the idea that they have right to their
own homes, and l believe they will keep
up the fight
John A. Robinson of Fitchburg, who has
spent year in the Philippines serving
in the regular army, has returned, honor
ably discharged, having been wounded
in battle. He was a member OF Co. b,
ODD infantry, with which he served in
Cuba and the Philippines. He expressed
surprise at the idea people in this coun-
try entertain CT the Philippines, as well
as CT Gen. Otis and life in the army Ac-
cordng to Mr.. Robinson there is almost
continued and universal fault-finding by
the soldiers, owing to the poor rations
that are served them. There is not much
to be had out OF the country, OF which
he does not hold very high opinion.

Carlyle's French Revolution.

(Mcrganton Herald)
The Wilmington Messenger, speaking
CT Carlyle and his great work, the French
Revolution observes:
ITO this hour, after several other i'm

and social cataclysm, the eloQuence, the
splendor the dramatic effects, the alb

Armfield, who was wont to carry it or

Of modern mankind and demonstrates
anew the lesson of the Hebrew Bible
that sowing the wind ends in a reapine
of the whirlwind. There is no time when
that lesson can not be taken to heart

"FROM LIFE

The greatest evil of divorce is the one of which little is said-the catastrophe to the children from the disruption or the family. An instance from current New York life will illustrate better than a thousand generalities:
 In a. divorce suit that created great deal of talk not long ago the court gave the father custody of the children, lie has put them in charge of one Of his re- male relatives The younger child IS d little girl just old enough to write Tn d large scrawling hand and to read words of one syllable if the type is large and her mind not too tired. A few days ago. about midnight, the nursery gov erness missed the child. She was not in her little bed, not in her room, not Ill the house-and the front door was un- accountably open. The governess ran out into the street and to the corner where she presently saw under street lamp. far down the block small fig ure marching sturdily away from shome" through the lonely, "bogy' haunted darkness The governess called. the child looked back and then ran on until one of her shoes came off. This enabled the governess quickly to overtake her. She had on her hat a coat buttoned all awry over her night
 gown She had not stopped to put on her stockings or to button her shoes. l "Oh, let me go!" she sobbed.
 "Why, where do you want to go, you naughty little girl?" said the governess.
 q waited till you were asleep re- plied the child. "and then I started out to find my mamma"
