Views OF a Successful Advertiser

Agricultural Advertising.
That printers ink pays is not ques-
toned by any practical business man
But great deal depends of course
upon how it is used and the merits
OF the article or business advertised.
The main point is first to have some
thing to sell that the people want, or
better, by constant advertising, to
make people want what you have to
sell. l have quite recently received
letters from people saying they had
for months read my advertisement in
such and such pa per until now they
were convinced that l had the best,
and therefore wanted to place their
order with me. This was q case no
doubt where the first time the writer
saw my ad he paid little attention to
it, and yet there was something in
it that struck him somewhere or he
surely would not have followed it up
so long a time. After his first read
ing the advertisement he surely look
ed for it in each issue Of the paper,
and every time he read the paper it
convinced him more and moro
that l had for sale just what he
wanted.
have always found it good plan
first to make demand for your goods.
To do this you have to advertise.
Write your ads in plain, convincing
manner, imprsssing on the mind Of
your reader that what you say is
strictly true, and never say ANYTHING
you cannot prove to be facts if called
upon to do so. 1t is folly to ask the
publisher to place matter enough for
full page ad in half-page space. 1t
is far better to say less and display it
we'll and write it in convincing
manner. 1t is poor policy never to
change the reading matter of an ad-
vertissment. Readers Of advertise
ments like change, just as they do
at the table.
have also had the fact thoroughly
demonstrated to me that large space
pays better than small space. True,
its costs more money. but the returns
are greater in proportion. 1 always
made it rule when business began
to go slow TO increase my advertising
space. No boiler will make steam
without fire: so when the fire dies out
the steam will get low. It's the same
with most any business. When
you find the sales diminishing add
on more space and see the sales in
crease.

WON BY A POEM.

The President has just appointed Eugene
r. Ware. Of Kansas, as Commissioner o
Pensions at s. 900 year, to succeed Henr.
CLAY Evans, of Tennessee. Some year
ago Mr.. Ware wrote poem, The Washer
Song" and Mr.. Roosevelt real
it. He was so pleased with it that he de
sired o meet the author. Acquaintance
ripened into friendship, and Friendship
into a good appointment for Mr.. ware
The poem is as follows:
In very humble cot,
II a rather quiet spot,
In the sudS and in the soap,
Worked woman full OF hope;
Working, singing, all alone.
In a sort 0f undertone:
with the Savior for friend,
He will keep me to the end
Sometimes happening along,
Ihad heard the semi.sOng,
And / often used to smile,
More in sympathy than guile;
But l never said word
In regard to what heard,
AS she sang about her friend
Who would keep her to the end.
Not in sorrow nor in glee,
Working all day long ives she.
AS her children. three or four,
Played around her on the floor;
But in mOnOtones the song
She was humming all day long:
with the Savior for friend,
lie will keep me to the end.
It's song do not sing,
For | scarce believe thing
OF the stories that are told
or the miracles of old;
But l know that her belief
Is the andOyne Of grief.
And will always be friend
That will keep her to the end.
Just trifie lonesome she,
Just as poor as poor could be;
But her spirits always rose,
Like the bubbles in the clothes,
And, though widowed and alone,
Cheered her with the monotone,
OF a Savior and friend
Who would keep her to the end.
have seen her rub and scrub
On the washbOard in the tub.
While the baby, sOpped in suds,
Rolled and tumbled in the buds,
Or was padding in the pools
With old scissors stuck in SpOOlS;
She still humming OF her friend
Who would keep her to the end.
Human hopes and human creeds
Have their root in human needs
And | should not wish to strip
From that washerwOman'S lip
Any song that she can sing,
Any hope that songs can bring,
For the woman has friend
Who will keep her to the end.

Quite new material is the double
faced linen which will undoubtedly
arrive at the height of popularity
during the summer and will be en-
ployed to evolve some very fetching
gowns. Very little trimming is re-
quired on them as the reverse side of
the linen will answer admirably for
this purpose. Awide latitude is given
the skirts, although the fundamental
notwithstanding at the hem-is still
adhered to. This effect is gained in
different ways, either with curved
seams or with IA fOunce, and is some
times still further increased with
clusters of tucks, or with small inset
panels at the hem of contrasting
material and color. 1t stands to rea-
son that heavy goods like hOmespun,
tweed and mixed fabrics in general
will make up more satisfactorily in a
plain, gored skirt.

BISHOP RAKES ROOSEVELT.
DR.. Kelley, of Savannah, Denounces
Attack on jefferson Davis.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.
Savannah, Ga, April 27.-Rt. Rev.
Ben j. Kelley. Bishop Of tho
Catholic Diocese of Savannah, made a
Confederate Memorial Day address in
Guards Hall last night to a large
audience. The Bishop, who was a
Confederate soldier, criticised Presi-
dent Roosevelt severely. His speech
is reported as follows:
at is true that the gentleman who
now happens to sit in the Presidential
chair at Washington has written Of
President Davis:
"'Before jeff Davis took his place
among arch traitors, etc., it was
natural that to dishonesty he should
add treachery to the public. The
moral differences between Benedict
Arnold on the one hand and Aaron
Burr and jeff Davis on the other is
the difference between a politician
who sells his vote for money and one
who supports bad measure to get a
high political position
when Mr.. Davis was a prisoner a
fellow named Miles put shackles on
him in prison, although there was No
necessity for it, and no one but a
brute would have done it. But l
have never heard that Miles, after
Mr.. Davis death. brutally maligned
his character. That species Of en-
venomed malice was reserved for the
recreant son of Southern woman.

FIRST AUTOMOBILE or ALL
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Only a small percentage OF those who
nowadays see automobiles speeding
along the streets and boulevards are
aware that the first automobile, con-
sidered In the sense Of vehicle con-
tanning within itself powers Of locomo-
ton, OF which there is any authentic
account was a self-moving shrine Of
Bacchus. This was the invention OF
Heron, Of Alexandria, who describes 1t
In his work on automatic mechanism.
The shrine In question was mounted
upon two supporting and two driving
wheels. On the axle of the driving
wheels was a drum, about which was
wound a rope which passed upward
through the space on one side OF the
shrine over pulleys and was fastened
to the ring Of a ponderous lead weight,
which rested upon quantity OF fine
dry sand. The escape Of this sand
through a small hole In the middle Of
the floor of the compartment containing
it allowed the lead weight gradually to

ward in a straight line. Heron describes
the method of arranging and prppOi.
tioning the wheels In case 1t was de-
sired that the shrine move In cir
cuIar path. He also shows how the
shrine can be constructed to move In q
straight line at right angles to each
other.

THE ORIGIN OF GOLF.
First Played with a Shepherds crOol
ov.H a pAhhIa

First Played with a Shepherds Crook
and a Pebble.
The man or woman who has become
interested In golf must needs know
something of its origin over In Scot
land. In his book, THE Art Of Golf"
Sir W. G. Simpson tells the following
pretty story as to how the game had
its beginning:
"a shepherd tending his sheep would
often chance upon a round pebble, and,
having his crook In his hand, would
strike it away; for 1t is inevitable that
man with a stick in his hand should
aim blow at any loose object lying In
his path as that he should breathe.
Over pastures green this led to nothing;
but once on time certain shepherd,
feeding his sheep on links, perhaps
that Of st. Andrews, rolled one of these
stones into a rabbit scrape.
MARY quoth he, I could not do
that If tried a thought which nerved
him to the attempt. But a man cannot
long persevere alone In any arduous un-
dertaking, so Mr. Shepherd hailed an
other, who was hard by, to witness his
endeavor. That Is easy said the
friend, and, trying, failed. They now
searched the grass for the roundest
stones, and, having deepened the rab-
bit scrape so that the stones might not
jump out of 1t, they set themselves to
practice putting.
"The stronger but less skillful shep-
herd, finding himself worsted at the
amusement, protested that 1t was q
fairer test of skill to play for the hole
from a considerable distance. With
this arranged, the game was found to
be much more varied and interesting.
The sheep having meanwhile strayed,
the shepherds had to go after them.
'Thls proving an exceedingly irksome
interruption, they hit upon the In
genious device Of mailing a circular
course of holes, which enabled them tC
play and herd at the same time These
holes being now many and far apart, II
became necessary to mark their where
abouts, which was easily done by
means of tag of wool from a sheer
attached to stick, primitive kind OF
flag still used on many greens, almost
in its original form. Since these early
days the essentials Of the game have al
tered but little"
