An Associated Press dispatch tells
Of the call that % American mil
lionaires, headed by j. Pierpont
Morgan, and representing the New
York Chamber of Commerce, made
on King Edward of England, las:
week. The king is reported to have
been as much interested in the Amc-
ricans as the Americans were in him,
and the kings attendants are said to
have been more or less concerned for
fear that the milionaircs might pro-
pose to buy Windsor Castle, the pal
ace in which the reception was held.
This, of course, was intended as hu-
NOR but it is probably no Joke to
say that King Edward must have
realized that kings are pretty com
mon in this country. Here, almost
any man may be a king, if he will
only conduct himself dcccntly and
work and save.

HINT TO COUNTRY MERCHANTS.


The country merchant is making n
great talk about the mail order houses
in the big cities who are getting trade
away from him, but with all his out
cry he is really making no serious eff
fort to prevent it, says the Advertising
World. You can't stop people from
buying where they think they can buy
the cheapest, simply by the use of in
vective. The only way the country
merchant can hope to compete with
the mail order houses is by meeting
them on their own ground-by adver-
tising.
There is absolutely no hope for the
business of the country merchant un-
til he corrects a few OF his time worn
views about advertising. Advertising
is simply telling what you have to sell
and the price. 1t makes no difference
if your ads. are not written by an eX-
pert or illustrated by a high-priced art
ist, you can make them effective and
result producing if you bear in mind
the one point that an ad. should tell
about what you have to sell and not
simply about yourself.
The advertising done by the average
country merchant is usually something
frightful. He does not consider adver-
tising a force by which he is to di-
rectly increase his business, but as a
kind of leg-pulling proposition on the
part OF the local newspaper. Any old
thing will do him in the way OF an an
nouncement and the smaller the space
the editor will let him down with the
better the bargain he imagines he has
made. Some merchants carry nothing
but stereotyped card, year in and
year out, yet if they stopped to think,
they find that they have dozens of
things they could sell at less than reg
ular prices and which, II made known,
would attract many buyers who would
otherwise send to the big cities for
them. The secret of the success of
the mail order firms is simply because
their advertisements tell something.
Any kind of advertising is Of course
better than none. All advertising
pays in some way or another, but the
| merchant who does no advertising at
all, because he is not able to afford
big pages, makes one large mistake.
II y0u can't DO the best advertising,
do the best you can. What the best
is that you can do may seem very
small. but advertising is something
that pays for itself and it increases
right along.

After this fashion I retreated for

started to run. l had not gone far,
however, when I heard the report of n
gun. Thereupon shouting for help 1
ran in the direction of the noise, and
in the course OF few minutes met an
Indian coming to find me. He had
seen the balloon come down, and was
curious to see the man who Travelled
in the air. He led me out to the bank
of river where there was bark
camp and three other Indians. They
received me kindly. installed me in a
warm corner of their camp out OF the
rain, and gave me all the fried deer
meat l could eat.
But when talked with them of re-
turning to the swamp to recover the
balloon they shook their heads, and
gave me to understand that it was as
much as n mans life was worth to
venture into n goose swamp in breed
ing time. The object lesson l had re-
ceived led me to believe that their
fears were well grounded
The next morning the Indian who
had found me led me through the for

River, where 1 hired Frenchman

days later to the town from which l

l had lost my balloon and had come
near losing my life; yet the celebra-
ton committee which had hired me to
make the ascent refused to pay me
more than half the sum agreed upon,
