lA the tribe of the Occur
dAlenes. was sitting one
& evening with Aalloo. his lit
tie sister at the edge OF the forest ON
the shore of Occur dAlene lake. and
was telling her a favorite story. when
mt one o. her Interruptions lac laughed
and leaned careleSsly back and looked
straight into the eyes of a cougar.
III l were drowning YOU would swim
ont into a great lake, too. like Grand
father Gray Beaver did. wouldn't
YOU the girl asked. She spoke indi.s
nanly. for that day she had heard an
old man say that boys like Kannoga
who went to school i'm the reservation
instead of into the forest. could never
be brave Indians, and she was sure
that hor brother was very brave
1t was her SNOW of Indignation and
her eager confidence that caused him
to laugh now ana 10 lean back
She waited, bu me did Iot answer.
With both hands clasped over his
copper-colored shin. ana one bare FOOT
raised slightly above the log on which
he was sitting. he stared into the great
restless eyes that looked down at him
from the nearest limb. lie was with
out weapon OF any kind. and the cou-
gar was full grown. with body dry
looking and gaunt with hunger.
Although its glance was for the mo-
ment fixed on him he could see that il
had been watching Aakoo and that it's
interest was still centred i'm her. rs if
it had chosen her for its victim He
was seized with sudden fear that She
might move unexpectedly ana thus
cause the creature to spring upon her.
vet he sat there seemingly unable TO
speak or to think what ought to be
done
You would. wouldn't you?" asked
the girl. Her voice broke the fascinut-
ing spell OF those terrible eyes. Kan

Items Out OF the Paper.
The practice of keeping things ont

tant occurrence. ana importune the
newspapers not to publish the facts
There is hardly n week I'm the year
when the newspapers OF the city are
not called upon to suppress some news
item, and sometimes 1t happens several
times In week, says the Little Rock
(ArkD Democrat Men will even ask
and expect an item of news to be sup
pressed when the entire community is
already talking about IT, They will
ask the editors and publishers not to-
mention a certain occurrence when. as
matter of fact. its publication would
harm no one.
If the paper declines to leave out
the item the applicant becomes very
indignant if 1t yields and Il contem-
porary later publishes the news it

has injured the legitimate business Of

give and do so no more. ON the con
trary, when "A local newspaper leaves
out an item, which appears later i'm
an out-of-town journal. the very men
who ask for its suppression are the
first to say. You must read such and
such papers to get the news"
Did 1t ever occur 20 the men who re-
quest newspaper not TO publish a
certain item that il would he just as
reasonable to ask Il merchant not to
make a certain sale? You are asking
the newspaper to omit its most attrac.
tive feature. and to become tedious and
perhaps tiresome, merely for your ben

relations with the newspaper. That
certainly gives YOU no right TO make
eXactions which amount to the same
thing rs if some one demanded that
you dispense with the most desirable
part OF your business.
The newspapers get tired and sick
Of being importuned to keep things
out. The reporters get discouraged.

something which ought to have ap-
peared on time, make derogatory re-
marks at the apparent lack of enter
prise manifested by the journal that

SPIRIT OF ADVERTISING.
Remarkably Clever Article on the Sub
ject by sixteen Year Old Girl


ject by "A sixteen Year old Girl
The spirit of advertising" is tn.
theme which siXteen-year-old Ruby
Brooks dwelt upon at the Commence
ment exercises of the California
School, where she was student. ana
this is what she said:
ITO advertise is to make known and
TO attract public attention to some
particular article. That it is. or rath.
er has, become an art, in fact
science. no one will question Not
every one has it in his power to con
coct something that will attract pub
lie attention and at the same time
make something known: and these
are the two essentials of Il good ad-
vertisement
1t is interesting TO notice how the
movement of written advertisements
commenced. 1t originated in Amer
lea. as so many OF the advanced ideas
have. In the old Colonial days a man
found a COW which did not belong to
him in his pasture
He conceived the idea of going to
the editor of their little paper and OF
having him make little item that
stray COW had been found The edit
or did so. and in few days the own
er came after his COW.
This man TO whom the COW be
longed had a ship coming in from
England, so he went to the editor and
told him he would pay him so much
If he would make a list Of the things
on the ship. which he, the merchant.
would have for sale.
He sold great many goods because
of this little notice. so others did it.
Soon distinction was made between
advertisements and news. and great
movements began in this small way.
There are over S2OO.OOO,OOO spent
yearly in the United States alone for
advertising. But surely, all this ex-
pense and trouble is not taken by
some few who wish to make attrac-
tive signboards and to fill up the mag
azines ana daily newspapers. No, the
parent OF it all is competition. As
competition is the life of trade. so
too. it is the producer and instigator
of advertising
There is a constant struggle to
make ones goods more acceptable to
the general public than the next ones.
Did you ever notice that there is
scarcely an advertisement but con.
tains the adjective in the comparative
or supcrlative degree? 1t is always
better than that one, the best of all
the best known, and the very best that
can be made
This great competition OF rival
parties in the form of advertising.
while it may cause hard and antag-
onistic feelings, is the best thing pos
sible for the country. with it pro
gress cannot stop
Let me give a simple illustration
from school life. A senior said this.
i never studied so hard as | did when
/ was a freshman / never failed I'm
a recitation, simply because L was try
ing TO get ahead OF another pupil
You see. competition was the life OF
his study, OF his progress. His reel.
tatiOns were his advertisements
Besides this competition between
rivals there is the striving OF the new
against the old although it is hard to
overcome a rival. it is even harder for
tine new. the different thing. TO over
come routine. But it must be done.
so that progress can be made. and it
is this spirit that permeates America
the land of progress and oppJrtuli
ties. Fourth Estate
