Well said the policeman. with a broad

Returning the policeman's smile, the
nervous-looking man took the cop by the
arm and gently led him over 10 the hat
store window.
''D'ye see that hat?' he inquired of the
officer. pointing TO a handsome, broad
brimmed Panama marked SIS in the center
or the display of straw hats.
Uh-huh." replied the officer. Nice top

That's what she am" said the nervous
looking man. It's q babe OF "A hat, and
I've been standing around here for half
an hour trying TO make up my mind to hop

that hat for week, and ever since first

hat like that for years-just exactly my

We'll, that's just it, said the nervous

"Oh. L dunno" said the policeman, and
yet there was far-away look in his eyes.

on his mustache and squaring his shout

Is about it, exclaimed the nervous man,
and bracing himself, he almost ran into the
hat store.
The policeman stood in front of the hat
store window, and presently he saw one of
the clerks reaching for the SIS Panama.

tered the cop to himself, and he walked out
TO the curb to wait for the nervous man to
emerge. so as TO size him up with the new
piece of headgear on his head.
Inside of about four minutes the nervous
man came. racing out of the hat store,
wearing a dinkly little las round, rough
straw hat on his head. The cop grinned.
Didn't fit you. hey?' he said to the
nervous man.
"Oh, it fitted all right" gasped the nerv-

maintain a certain amount OF restriction
in their dealings with INSCRIPTIONS adver-
Users as well as with the advertisers OF
cheap goods. The yellow journal knows no
restriction; as its moral standard Is low,
just so Is the intrinsic value of Its adver-
Using low. To-day class restriction enters
as a prominent factor in the placing OF
advertising by those who fully understand
their business. The value OF the goods ad-
vertlsed always approximates the value OF
the paper from a moral standpoint, for IL
is well-known fact that people with
money are, as a rule, people OF intellect,
people who want the best in journalism and
who buy only the best. A certain large de-
partment store in New York advertiSeS oc
casionally, using full pages in a certain
daily publication of immense circulation. In
the same city. 1t will be noted, however,
that the manager of this department store
advertises in this paper only when he has
what may be called basement sales" that
is to say, goods that have been relessated 10
the lower floor for final disposal, goods that
must be sold at any price, cheap novels,
shop-worn merchandise, and goods that have
originally been bought 10 sell only by rea-
son of their cheapneSS. The paper used In
this advertising is yellow journal This
department store is advertised regularly
from day to day in the higher grade daily
publications of New York in pages and
half pages, but only enthusiastically in
the yellow journal, and why? Simply be
cause the store in question recognizes the
value of the clean newspaper as medium
for disposing OF goods of value The yell
osition for this manager If he attempted to
advertise therein the lines advertised in
the better publications.
A careful canvassing of the newsboys in
the business district of Chicago would in
dictate the fact that the high grade daily
paper is a much better seller in the dis
tricts comprising large office buildings
within the loop. This. by reason of the
fact that the integral parts of the great
commercial machine as il exists in Chi
cago are made up of those who appreciate
the well-edited and clean newspaper. II has
also been discovered that in the outlying
districts inhabited by the poorer classes
that the lowest grade paper or yellow
journal it is popularity known, has by
far the greater circulation.
The foregoing facts should be of help and
guidance TO the placer of advertising. 1t
should largely govern his selection of me-
diums with reference to the class of goods
he contemplates advertising. To advertise
an article of actual merit and moderate
cost in a low-grade publication is foolish.
Almost equally as foolish is the advertis-
ing of the catch-penny scheme and the
cheap line of goods in the paper of news
merit and editorial accuracy and clear
headedneSs.

Which all can see, which all may share,
Sunlight and dew drops, grass and stars and
Nothing unique, or new, and nothing rare.

Some clouds to cross the blue old sky above;
Rain winter fires a useful hand, a heart

keep them from fouling sweet things any
