An Explorer Says They. Are Superior to
American Indians.
A correspondent of the Associated
Press writing from Christiana, Nor
way, says that DR.. Carl Lumpoltz, the
traveller and explorer, who has been
spending the last five years in the hith-
erto unknown regions of northwestern
Mexico, in the interests of the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History of
New York and who is the first white
man who has lived among the cave
GwellerS in those parts, made his first
appearance recently in public since his
return to civilization, lecturing before
the Geographical Society of Christiana.
The lecture bristled with incidents of
the life and travels among the wild In
dian tribes of western Sierra Madre,
especially among the cave dwellers,
who still live in the same primitive way
as their forefathers many thousands of
years ago in these almost inaccessible
regions 5000 feet above the sea. In or
der to study these people DR.. Lumpoltz
ordered the entire staff of his eXpedi-
ton to return. He then commenced to
live alone among them. At first the
tribes resisted but eventually he gained
their confidence and was allowed TO re
main. He learned their ways, their
language and their songs and Joined in
their dances
The Mexican Indians are monoga-
mists and lead on the whole a very
happy existence. Among many of the
tribes he found higher degree of NOR
ality than in civilized countries. They
are highly intelligent and are, the lee
turer said, a race far superior to their
kinsmen in the United States and
South America. Theft and disease are
both unknown among them.

Goods Will Be Done" "

With deepest founts of Love to drain
They could not stay the fleeting breath
The bolts of science hurled in vain,
Fell harmless at the fest of Death.
A million prayers rose on high
Yet hopewent downward with the sun
AS family came that farewell sigh:
''It is Gods way
His will be done ~
So passed a soldier brave and true;
So passed clean and loyal soul.
The right he ever kept in view,
And pressed breast forward to the goal
This was man-so loved, SO wise
And when his splendid race was run
In simple faith he closed his eyes:

His will be 9oner'

Don'ts For Fathers,

Do not expect your son to keep per-
fectly quit for any length of time. You
could not do it when you were a boy.
Do not expect your son to confide
and trust in you if you do not meet him
half way.
Remember there is no one on earth
who has a keener sense of right and
wrong than your boy. Remember also
that naughty, mischievious boys are
usually very clever and have the max
ing of smart, reliable men.
Always keep your promises. If you
threaten to punish a boy the next time
he offends or disobeys, be sure to do it.
Remember your wife has had the
care of the children all day. Few men
realize the responsibility and unceas-
ing labor in the care of children, the
long, weary hours with the babies, the
constant attention, the everlasting
patience necessary. Help her in the
evening with the boys.
81 am a firm believer in early to
bed,' for children" writes Mrs. NJ. E.
R. Alger, in "Good Housekeeping" for
August.
Do not spoil your children with luxu-
ries. Plain food, plain clothes, are
what they should have. Silk dresses,
diamond rings, trips to the theater and
opera in the evening, take the zest
away from your daughters when they
become young women.
Visits to your club, and the keeping
of late hours, do not tend to make your
sons either healthy or wise. They will
know all about life before they are
grown up. Keep both your daughters
and sons amused and interested in
childish things as long as possible
time enough for the care of life later

President rIcKinley's Insurance.

Last week the New York Life In
surance Company paid to the estate of
the late President Mckinley, a check
for fifty thousand dollars in payment
of policy for that amount issued to
the President in 1896. Previous to
this $4,000 policy, Mr.. Mckinley had
taken out with the New York Life,
years before, one policy for $4,000,
which matured, and on which the cash
surrender value was paid April 25th,
1898. Another for 5000 matured, on
which the surrender value was paid
May 16, 1895.
1t is twenty-five years since Mr..
Mckinley first connected himself with
the New York Life as a policy holder.
The New York Life has also.paid the
following insurances carried by some
of the Nations chief executives: Ex-
President James A. Garfield, S25, 900;
ex.President Chester A. Arthur, 81, 600;
ex-President Benjamin Harrison, S20,-
900 and eX-Vice President Garret A.
Hobart, two policies for $55, 600.

Free Mall Delivery In the Country.

klnuJ.
Free mail delivery in the rural dis
tricts is one of the postal branch of the
Government now, and, judging from
some remarks made by the Postmaster
General day or two ago, the service
will receive notable extension in the
near future. At meeting of the State
Fair Association, at Concord, n. H.,
Mr.. Smith said that the post Office had
been carried to the doors of 81, 00U, 900
of population who live in the cities
and large towns of the United States,
but that the large problem remains of
carrying the mails to the doors of 21,-
000,0 900 Americans who live on the
farms. He recalled the fact that within
the last two years the service had been
extended over territory larger than
that of all England. Before the fiscal
year is closed the service will have been
carried over 5000 routes, bringing the
post office to the doors of more than
5000, 600 people, and reaching one-third
of the population it is intended to furn-
ish with the improved postal facilities.
This is making progress with celebrity,
for, of course, the amount of territory
to be covered by the extension of free
delivery in the rural districts is
weighty factor in the problem. 1t is
much easier to reach million people
in thickly populated centers than a
tenth of that number in sparsely settled
districts.

Advertising,

Robert G. Ogden, managing part
ner of John Wanamaker's New
York store, gave an address last
Wednesday evening at the Sphinx
Club, New York, ON the subject of
advertising, in which he declared
that the two essentials to business
success in this age were, first, to
know how to merchandise, and
second, to know how to advertise.
Attract attention. Get people to
your place of business. Study their
wants and tastes, and then cater to
them. Let them know that you
appreciate their trade.
Enlighten them. Tell them all
about what you have to sell. When
you have a bargain for them let
them know it. Do not hide your
bargains under a bushel, but an
nounce them with tinkling cymbals
and sounding brass.
A street falir can come to town
and sell car load of stuff on the
Public Suare that could be purchas-
ed cheaper in one of our own stores.
Why? Simply because he has studi-
ed the art of attracting attention.
He first gets the people around
him, then he tells them what he
has and how cheap he will sell it.
The merchant wonders why they
don't buy this stuff Of him. They
don't know he has it. They have
never thought about it. They have
not been invited.
Be honest. Do not make any
statements that are untrue. Do not
practice deception, but establish
yourself in the confidence of the
people.
Advertising is the basis ofgrowth.
Systematic, persistent and intelli-
gent advertising is the first re.
quisite of success.
The merchant who thinks that a
little money spent in advertising is
simply little money wasted, is
too narrow-minded and too penu.
rious to take delight in giving his
customers a bargain when he has
it. The up-to-date merchant knows
that his advertisement is as i'm.
portant as his stock, and he gives
it just as much attention.
There is not a great merchant il
America to-day who, if asked the
secret of his success, cannot answer
in one word-Advertising
Attract attention. Let the people
know of your existence. Tell then
what you have and how cheap yol
can sell it. Don't let the cobweb
gather on you brain as well as OF
your goods, and expect the peopl
to come around with a search war
rant to find out what you nave ant
how much you ask for it. Whel
you have something nice, some
thing new, something cheap, tel
the people about it. And the NOR
conspicuous you make it the better
Make your name a household word
When your competitor quits, tax
advantake Of the opportunity AM
advertise stronger.
