SUBSTITUTION.

Please listen to short talk upon a
most vitally important subject-one
which is greatly disturbing the bust
ness world to-day.
You have doubtless heard of the
word substitution" You have prob
ably read that Substitution is fraud"
Tack that saying firmly in your mind
and keep it there. 1t is worth some
thing. 1t is true-almost invariably.
You call at a store and ask for an
article of a certain brand or manufac-
ture, one which has been thoroughly
advertised for years, and which has
earned an excellent reputation. The
dealer says here's something just as
good for less money" That dealer
thereby usually tells a direct false
hood. He knows that the article
which he offers you at lower price
is inferior, but the point is that it
yields him a greater profit; hence his
desire to substitute.
You may ask if an article is superior
just because it issadvertised. Yes, it
is, and here's why. The many we'll
known houses which spend millions
of dollars every year in the good pub
locations of the country are managed
by men Of brains and wide business
experience, and these men know only
too well that unless an article has
merit there is absolutely no business
sense in spending good money to ad-
vertise it. 1t does not pay to adver-
tise any article of general use for a
short time only. Every advertiser
must wait some time before his adYer-
tising has created the desired impress
sion and while he is waiting his goods
must have time to prove whether or
not they are good. If they are good,
they stick; if not, they do not, and if
they were not good and did not stick,
would this experienced business man
continue to spend good money adver-
tising the goods-throw good money
after bad as it were? NeverI He
has too much business sense.
The average article which you see
advertised month after month in good
publications is itself good. Buy an
advertised article. 1t is the true safe
way.
When you are buying ask for what
you want and get what you ask for.
Remember Substitution is Fraud"

HE LOVED ANIMALS
LANDsEE9's CHARACTERISTICS.
Great English Painter Was on lnti-
mate Terms With the Animals
He Painted.

Conrad Cooke, the son of distin-
guished English painter, says he used
to hold the paper while Sir Edwin
Landseer drew one animal with his
right hand and a different animal with
his left, writes ]. A. Manson in "Sir
Edwin Landseer, R. A." This species
of dexterity comes from practice, no
doubt, and is akin to the adroit ma
nipulation of the accomplished plan
ist, but is nevertheless extraordinary,
and several cases are recorded in
which Sir Edwin fairly astounded the
onlookers by such displays of manual
skill. Two instances of well-applied
facility are related by Vernon Heath.
Once while staying at Arlington
house, Robert Vernon's place near
Vantage, Landseer consented to go to
church. At luncheon he was asked who
had preached. Really, l don't know,
but it was someone like this" and he
sketehed the priest in a few adroit
strokes. why, that's Mr. Blank"
said Vernon Heath. ''His living is
nine miles off and l don't think he has
ever preached here before. l know
him only from seeing him at a meet of
the old Berkshires. But that's the
man, sure enough" At Arlington a
billiard table stood in the hall and one
day during a game Landseer went
across to the blackboard which screened
the CRATE and drew upon it in chalk
life-SiZed head of royal stag.
When Mr.. Vernon saw it he was so
enchanted that he had a sheet of
plate glass placed over the board,
which he forbade being taken to the
hall any more.
An intimate friend of his gave
most instructive account of Landseer's
ways with animals HE had a STRONG
feeling" she wrote, against the way
some dogs are tied up; only allowed
their freedom now and then. He used
to say a man would fare better tied
up than a dog because the former can
take hi9 coat off, but dog lives in his
forever. He declared a tied-up dog
without daily exercise goes mad or
dies in three years. His wonderful
power over dogs is well known. An
illustrious lady (whom we shall ven
ture upon identifying as Queen Vic
toria) asked him how it was that he
gained this knowledge BY peeping
into their hearts, ma am was his an
swer. l remember once being wonder
fully struck with the mesmeric attrac-
tions he possessed with them. A large
party of his friends were with him at
his house in ST Johns Wood his SER
want opened the door. three or four
dogs rushed in, one a fierce-looking
mastiff. The ladies recoiled, but there
was no fear; the creature bounded up
to Landseer, treated him like an old
friend, with most expansive demon
strations of delight Someone remark
ing how fond the dog seemed of him,
he said: Il never saw 1t before in my
life"
