effort and the most money. People don't usually ask for what they have
already. Advertising is merely asking for trade. When the store is full
every day, cut down your space. When trade Is slack increase your
space. Don't expect that you will get a big trade in dull times but
keep count and you will find that the advertising Is profitable. Profitable
right at the time and enormously profitable after awhile. The very fact
that only a few merchants are wise enough to advertise in dull seasons
makes it all the more profitable for those who do. You are there when
others are not. 1t gives you greater prominence. It will make your
advertising In busy times much more effective.

out to him a number of prominent sena-

kins, Morgan, Foraker, and others, who
are supposed to be more or less prominent
in public life. The New Yorker heard
their names without manifesting the
slightest degree of interest. He had no
response to make. For at least a min

Where is Senator Ellsworth" he
asked, finally.

Among Americans in Havana the opin-
Ion prevails that the majority of the Gu
bans are not anxious to cut entirely loose
from the United States. This majority,
however, is made up of conserva tives, who
do not take an active part in politics. It's
influence, therefore, is but slightly felt
in political affairs. But would it not be
felt If the active, radical element should
undertake to make trouble between Cuba
and the United States? The chances are
that il would. The property holding in
terest-the interest which has a great deal
at stake-would certainly make its infiu-
ence felt if it believed that its property
interests were in danger.

The receipts of cotton at the ports are
falling off greatly. and yet there is no
indication of increasing strength in The
cotton market. Under ordinary circum-
stances the decline in the receipts at the
ports at this time would indicate a crop
a great deal smaller than that estimated.
1t is not believed, however, that the
crop is much, If any, smaller than that
of last season. II it were thought to be
smaller the price of cotton would be high
er than it is, and the market would be
firmer.
The truth seems 10 be that there is yet
a large amount OF cotton in the interior.
1t is not, however, in the hands of the
farmers. 1t is held in warehouses and by
country merchants. 1t would be coming
TO market much more rapidly if 1t were
not that much of it was purchased at
prices higher than can now be obtained.
Those having it are holding it with the
hope of getting rid of it without a loss.
They may be pursuing the right course.
Those acquainted with the cotton situa-
zion have insisted for weeks that the price
ought to be higher than it is. The mills,
however, are having trouble in market
ing their products They are unable
TO get as good prices as they ought. AS
a consequence many of them are not rum
ming on full time. ID may be that the
dulIness of the demand for cotton goods
from China has something to do with the
low prices of cotton goods.
The cotton season has been a good one
for the cotton growers, but the country
merchants have not, as a rule. done well.
As already stated they purchased cotton
al prices above those now prevailing.
Some of them have failed, and doubtless
others win, unless cotton advances soon.
In the meantime the farmers are pre-
pairing for a much larger acreage of cot
ton than was planted last year. Would
it not be "a wiser policy to keep down the
acreage?

LONG SKIRTS AND GERMS.

At a recent gathering of Canadian
physicians in Ottawa, tuberculosis and
the means of its transmission. were
especially discussed. 1t was declared
that one-fifth of all the deaths in the
Dominion, last year, from all causes, re-
suited from pulmonary consumption.
AS to the vehicles of transmission sew
eral of the doctors strongly condemned
the long and trailing skirts which FASH
ion has decreed for women. These
skirts, it was asserted with positive
ness, are nothing less than germ traps
and disease breeding places. They
sweep over the ground, gathering both
powdered and damp Notwithstanding
matter; then they are hung in closets
for time, after which they are taken
out and shaken in the air which the
shaker breathes. The shaking fills the
air with the dangerous particles which
have been clinging to the hem of the
skirt, and sends germs of tuberculosis,
fevers, diphtheria and other ailments
into the throat and lungs.
That the long skirt is a scavenger
cannot be successfully denied. 1t not
only gathers sputa from the streets,
but the germs that infest theatres and
other public gathering places and the
common conveyances. Every wearer of
long skirt knows this, and devotes
herself to holding it up whenever it IS
possible to do so. But it is not always
practicable to raise it, and then the germ
catcher gets in its dangerous work
Whether it will do any good for the
physicians to inveigh against the long
skirt is an open question. Fashion
says it must be worn, and Fashion"
must be obeyed, even at the risk of
health. There are certain prudes, too.
who hold that the short skirt is immod-
est, and that to show the ankles is worse
than the offense that the long skirt COM
mits against delicacy and cleanliness
when it picks up the dirt and foulness
of the streets and public places IL
Fashion" were rational she would be
guided by hygienic principles, but she
is not, and her devotees are too loyal
to question her edicts or protest against
them.

J. r. Judson of Kansas City, Mo, told
an overweight sub-editor got back al his
chief. In one of our Western cities,
some years ago." said Mr.. Judson, "a
friend of mine was employed on one OF
the local papers. The next man above
him was constantly taking him to task
for alleged derehctious in duty, and es-
pecially for mistakes in grammar, pune
tuation and similar things. The editor,
who was forever rowing with my friend,
while man of force and able to write
in a virile manner, was nevertheless de-
ficient in education, and his grammar was
occasionally as bad as some of that of
Charles Dickens. One day he had been
particularly vicious in his criticisms of
my friend. The following morning there
appeared an editorial from his pen, in
which the following sentence occurred;
To be a true American one should
visit the Hockey Mountains and eontem-
plate its beauty and grandeur
Here was the chance my friend had
been waiting for, and so he cut the quo
tation out and sent it to the owner of the
paper, 20 whom both men were response
bic, with the following comments: The
first thought by this strange statement
is that its author should visit a school

of a singular pronoun standing for a

Aside from the offense to English in this
admonition to the American people, will

criticism perhaps did not improve the ed

Webster Davis has come to the front
again, after a silence in regard to him
that left a doubt in the minds of many
perhaps as to whether he had not gone
back to South Africa and cast his
fortunes with the Beers. 1t turns out,
however, that he has been writing book.
He disappeared Immediately after the
presidential campaign to devote himself
to this work. He has written an account
of his visit to the Beers, and it is stated
in a dispatch in a Chicago paper that
he has been offered the magnificent sum
of $780, 900 for it. 1t must be a mighty
interesting book to command such an
amount of money. 1t may be that the
amount in question is what Mr.. Davis
thinks he ought TO get. II he does get
$4,000 for it he will feel he did not make

service of the government and Joining the
