As result OF this he has two new custo
mers. We will say that he gets only two, be-
cause he hasn't tho nerve to run the ad six
months, which would be a proper trial. But he
sells only enough to these two customers to net
him three cents profit a day each. Perhaps
with cream 1t will average little more. Figure
this up for year and his profit on that sd. is
about sl2. Figure it up at the end Of fve years,
and the little ad. has netted him nearly $3.50
But the milkman tried the ad. hve weeks and
said it didn't pay. Yet these two custo.
mers recommended him to two others, and they
sent him to four others, and in the end the
$40 investment had brought him nearly $1,000.

captain, who shall lead the members
as they march in parades, and attend
meetings, and on election day see to 1t

that the first voters throughout the

said:
'Now tell the truth. Where did you get The
watch?"
''I stole it and gave it to my brother" said
the lad as he commenced crying.
Watt turned to the other boy and asked him
what he had TO say. The older boy commenced
protesting that his brother was lying and that
hc had nothing TO do with the watch.
Detective Watt turned TO the little fellow and
said: "Stck out your tongue"
The boy did 50.
"Do you see any wrinkles on your brothers
tongue?" Watt questioned Of the larger boy. The
boy shook his head.
"Stick out your tongue" said Watt to the
older one. He did so.

for governor OF New York,
Il benjamin B. Odell, began
his political career as ar
opponent of "the machine" but being
n man of uncommon common sense he
speedily saw the necessity of organiza-
tion in politics, turned his talents to
the devising Of better system of or
ganizinS the voters of his party and
was so successful that the Republican
plurality in Newburgh, his native
city, increased nine times; Orange
county, his native county, was con-
verted from n doubtful county into a
Republican stronghold and the Seven
teenth congressional district, of which
it formed a part, was swung from the
Democratic into the Republican col
umn-all of this mainly owing to the
impetus of odelrs executive ability
| and energy.
Mr.. Odell was candidate for gov
ernor in 1896 but Frank Black heat
him out. Odell then took the chair
manship of the state committee, of
| which he had been member since
| 1894, and so honorable, efficient and
| sagacious has he shown himself in that
position that not a voice was lifted
or a vote cast against his nomination
to succeed Governor Roosevelt. Since
| boyhood he has been what the profess
sional reformers call a machine" poll
tician; next to Senator Platt he has
| for several years past been the lead
ing director of the Empire state Re-
publican organization. Yet the fac
| tional opponents of Plat are made
happy by Odelrs nomination. Not one
of them has objected to it. Not one of
them will sulk now that 1t has been
made. The Republican party In New
York state, however II may be div
tricts. is for governor, president and
congressman practically a unit.
TO what do we ascri5e this remark
able unanimity on governor, especially
| following the widespread belief that
Colonel Roosevelt was put on the ma
tional ticket for the purpose of get
ting him away from Albany and OF
substituting a more plastic man? We
can see no other explanation than that
Mr.. Odell must be a man of very eX-
ceptional merit. so strong, straight.
forward and trustw orthy in character
that not even the enemies of Plattism
so-callel, find 1t in their hearts to as.
perse him or to call into question his
personal honor. Now that the search
light is to be turned upon his past
we shall doubtless soon know more
than has yet appeared to casual OBJ
servers. But no man can talk lonl
with those who have had persona
dealings with Mr.. Odell without dis
covering that their admiration of tn;
man is very earnest and tenacious
and when this is true the conclusion
is obvious. He must be a big man.
