An Advertising Ode.

1T yon toot your little tooter and
5hen lay aside your horn, there's nota
soul in ten short days will know that
you were born. The man who gath
ers pumpkins is the man who malls it
pay. The man who advertises with
Il short and sudden jerk is the man
who blames tile editor because it did
not work. The man who gets the bust
ness has long and steady pull and
keeps the local papers from year to
year quite full. He plans his a,.ver-
tisement in Il thoughtful way, and
keeps forever at it until he made ii
pay. He has faith in all the future,
can withstand Il studded shock, and
like the man of scripture has his bust
ness on rock

ago popular teacher contest was
inaugurated and each subscriber
who paid years subscription was

instances where subscribers get

the first case on record where a

THERE are a whole lot Of people
hereabouts who want to know
why the English don't do so and
so and why Butler don't do this
and that. The Ishpeming Iron
Ore comes right to the point when
it says: From this distance there
are many wlhio can tell just how
he should do it, and they are find
ing much fault with him because
he does not make the charge.
The world does not lack for adj
vice. 1t is one of the freeest, as
we'll as cheapest, things we poss-
ess. A few years since when
times were hard all the people
turned fnanciers. The nation
knew our trouble and just how to
remedy it. Everyone, no matter
whether they had knowledge of
banking affairs or not, were all
at once graduates from financial
schools, and felt competent to
Judge of our troubles and the
remedy needed for their cure. A
year ago the whole country occu-
pied a postgraduate position on
stocks. All were brokers, and
all knew just how to advise the
other fellow. The poorest miners
are generally those who are al
ways boasting how much they can
do. They can break more ore in
ten minutes on some street corner
than they could in a month where
1t is to be had. Could England
but know of all the great generals
we have in this country who are
out of a job of directing armies,
she might send over for ship
load. The chances are that Mr..
Butler has pretty clear idea Of
his situation. just as Kruger has,

An Artistic Elevator Man.

Full many flower is born to blush
unseen. The conductor of one of the
senate elevators is a genius in disguise,
says Washington letter.
The elevator man is a natural artist
During the interval when he is not the
custodian of an ascending or descend
ing statesman he is busy with his pen
ell, and the result of his work adorns
the elevator car. Like Correggio, who
drew with charcoal on the white
washed wall, because he had neither
pencil nor paper, the elevator man
finds in the daily weather bulletin card
the medium for the display of his tai
ents. Yesterday the card bore an ex-
quisite landscape, diversified with
mountains and water and ships, while
the day before the picture represented
a Venetian street. The chief d'oeuvre
of the artist was a copy of the Venus de
Milo, admirably drawn, who posed in
all her armless beauty above the pro-
sale words: Weather cloudy and
warmer, with southwest Winds The
elevator man is a student at night at
the Corcoran art school, and hopes
some day to graduate from his present
job.

Old SpiraI Car Springs.

A use has been discovered for old
spiral car springs. 1t has been found
that these often contain enough carbon
to permit of making cold chisels.
Forging into the necessary form is
easy and the additional carbon re-
CURED may be added by the cementa-
ton process. Cold chisels made in this
way cost half as much as the high
grades of steel which were formerly
used.-American Railroad Journal.

RULES FOR SMALL FOLKS.
Sensible Suggestions for Parents
Concerning Their Care in
Summer.

Provide outdoor amusement, or
amusement on the shady side of the
veranda, for children during the in
tense heat of the day (from IL until
a and on rainy days-at other times
they should be out of doors. They
should never go out in the morning,
however, until they have had some
thing to eat, if only a glass of milk
and a slice of bread. To play out of
doors before the system has been forti-
fed by nourishment is to court malaria,
and they should be indoors again be-
fore the dew begins to fall. Children
should eat regularly three meals day,
says the American Queen.
All vegetables and fruits given them
should be absolutely fresh and ripe.
1t is very important that the bowels
of children should be kept regularly
open. and this can be done by judicious
diet.
Children are often tormented during
the summer by mosquitoes or other in
sects. They can be protected from
them by sponging weak carbolic acid
on their skin and hair and even on the
clothing, if found necessary. If al
ready bitten elder-fower water applied
to the parts will give relief.
Let the pillows upon which the chill
dren sleep be low and filled with hair,
not feathers. In soft feather pillows
the head sinks low and becomes over
heated.
When child is asleep don't cover its
face with handkerchief. Let him have
the full benefit of the air; if it is neces-
sary to cover him to prevent flies or
mosquitoes from disturbing his slum-
Der, throw piece of netting over the
bed or carriage. The child can breathe
through netting, but not through cam

Haunted Hotel 1. Reformed.

One of the popular and successful ho-
tells in this city, was known IS years
ago as haunted house, says the New
York Press. Tenants were kept
awake at all hours of the night by the
most remarkable noises. These were
so persistent that leases were cast to
the winds and rooms vacated without
notice. 1t acquired SO bad name that
women would not pass by it, but
walked on the opposite side of the
street. Its owner was in despair. FL
nally he was forced to close it for
season, which allowed the walls to set
tie and the plumbing to adjust itself to
sinkings and shinkings, swellings and
twistings. A brave man slept there
for a week and reported that he had
heard no noises of any kind. Another
brave one leased the house for 30 years,
opened it in fine style, and to da is
turning away hordes Of would-be pa
irons.

A NEW DEPARTURE IN COACH
ING LINES.

An interesting scheme has just been
inaugurated to run a line of coaches
from Washington city to Mount Yer
non, via the sacred and imposing Ma
tional Cemetry at Arlington. Appreci-
Ating ths demand that will certainly
arise for this delightful drive, through
q region now full of historic interest
and natural beauty, leading from the
capital Of our country TO the home and
rnausoleuro of the nations idol, Wash
ington, some gentlemen have arranged
to run coach between these two points
stopping en- route at Arlington. By the
mystery Of life the name of Arlington
Ia now completely identified with the
great leader, Gen. Robert Z. Lee, OF the
Confederate forces r. the civil war, and
with the arme Of northern soldiers
who sleep their last sleep among itf
green hills. Strange blending o.
thoughts awakened by the name
of Lee, whose sometime home
was Arlington, and by the stored urns
the animated busts, the monumen'
tal shafts, the countless lowly mounds
that cover the spot which men today
call Arlington, TO this halloweo
groInd will the hearts OF patriots turn
for inspiration, and stopping here the
traveller will gather deeper love o.
country as he journeys to the tomb Of
Washington.
Still another poiut of interest of thit
drive will be old Christ Church at Alex
andria, Va, where the coach will also
stop long enough for tourists to see the
edifcs where Washington loved to woT-
ship.
A more promising project has never
been suggested, or one whose scope Of
influence will be broader or nobler; or
sgain, one which will bring the two
sections OF our now united country
more pleasantly zen rapport"
AS the management will be under
men OF assured position and practical
business capacity We do not question its
success, and we congratulate the Capt.
ssl City upon such prospective addi-
ton to its charlottesville Rider and
