$1,000 a Day for Advertising.

John Wanamaker pays over 81 600
day just for advertising his Phila'
delphia store. He uses page a day
in FIVE daily newspapers in that city.
They are as follows: Press, 100000
Ledger, 100000; Times, $4,000;
North American, $4,000; Evening
Telegraph, $4,000. Up to few
months ago Mr.. Wanamaker was u.s.
ing a page in the Record at the rate
of $4,000 year, which would have
made an annual expenditure of $685.
O0O When he wanted to renew his
advertising contract with the Record
the publishers asked $25, 900 more, or
a total of $112,5OO. Mr.. Wanamak-
er refused to pay the amount, think
ing that no one else would pay that
sum for the page. The proposition
was made to Lit Brothers, who &C.
copied the contract, without a mo-
ment's hesitation, and they are now
paying the enormous sum of $ll2,5OO
for the use of the page for one year.

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC
| There is talk of resvtving one of the most
| successful organizations that ever existed
| in this city-the old Mccullough Dramatic
| Club.
! To It belonged some of the most promi-
| nent men in the city to-day and a number
| of actors, playwrights and managers whose
names are known all over the country.
1t is remarkable how many of the old
| members are still living and in ST. Louis.
| The Mccullough Club grew out of the
Compton Hill Dramatic Club, which in turn
had its origin in the Compton Hill Literary
Society.
The latter fiourished in the early seven
! ties in Compton Hill, which at that time
was a suburb separated from the city by
woods and fields.
The society met one night at the home Of
Miss Ella Fletcher, daughter of ex-Govern-
or Fletcher, now Mrs. Perry Bartholow Of
No. 2S37 Russell avenue.
An amateur dramatic club was organized
| The first performance was given at Miss
Fletcher's home. and the next one at the
residence of Mrs. w. L. G. B. Allen, now in
New York City.

Compton Hill Club.
The performances became 30 popular that

One article. which Is headed Gone in

Of one Ow-sook for Miss Ok-zi-ya an island
belle. who spent the winter at Cape Prince

home to escape the attentions OF the man
who sought her for wife.
When this fact was given to the public
by the Bulletin, the ardent lover had set
sell for the island home of his inamorita,
and the writer remarked that this proof Of
affection on the part of Ow-sook should
bring about successful termination of his
winters courtship.
Other items taken at random from the
columns of the Bulletin follow:

For several seasons his short story, Her
First Appearance" in dramatic form, had
been seen in the vaudeville houses.
Not until last spring, however had an
evenings entertainment been provided by
the authors work.
Soldiers of Fortune had hero with
splendid capacity for overcoming obsta-
cles and for vanquishing his enemies.
1t involved this parsonage in a charming
love affair. and, best of all, it represented
this ideal as O. type Of American manhood.
Mr.. Davis witnessed Robert Blossoms por-
trayal of Edward Warden In THE Climb
ers." The author at once saw in Edeson
the man fitted to create the stage hero of
his story.
Singularly enough, when the book was
published, Mr.. Edeson was attracted by its
dramatic qualities.
He became eager to create the role Of
Clay. but did not then think that he would
have the good fortune to make his debut
as a star in the dramatization Of this novel.
When Manager Harris first broached to
Edeson the plan OF starring him, the actor
suggested Soldiers Of Fortune" as the We
hicle.
1t was shortly after this that the manager
learned that Davis was anxious to place
the book at Blossoms disposal.
Mr.. Harris lost no time In taking ad-
vantage Of the offer, and In securing Au-
gustus Thomas for the work of the drama
tization.

2 SUNDAY REPURLLC

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
1t is about q dozen years since Richard
Harding Davis made his sudden and re-
markable success.
He was then somewhat past 25 years old.
He was reporter on the New York
Evening Sun, and already had a good bit
OF newspaper training.
Davis was the first of American authors
to write in the spirit of boyish enthusiasm
in a style which naturally pleased. and soon
found Il number Of imitators.
He quickly demonstrated that he pos
sessed the storytelling faculty.
Even when he had little to say. he said It
with vitality.
1t Is worth noting that at this time Clyde
Fitch was making his way with varying
successes and setbacks toward his present
position as the most prosperous Of the
American dramatists.
Mr. Davis unquestionably received large
rewards for his work. but Mr.. Fitch Is
striding toward millionairedom.
The deduction is obvious.
One of the greatest of our older Ameri-
can writers says that il he were beginning
his career again he would devote himself
exclusively to writing for the stage.
Like many young newspaper men. Mr..
Davis from his start took deep interest
In the theater.
He had an early fling as dramatic critic
and he had long been ambitious to see a
play of his own on the stage.

, He had an idea that he could emuse
himself and while away the long dreary
hours at his far-away post by following
| the craft of his boyhood fancy.
Further, he expected to use it in teach
i ing the natives English.
This, then, explains the Eskimo Bulle-

When he had been at his station a few

| would be a long time before those of his
| charge would be able to appreciate news

But the crews of the few vessels that

In that remote spot he decided that he

thought.
1t was not considered necessary by the
editor to enter his paper in the mails as
second-class newspaper matter, for the
only mail that comes to Cape Prince of
Wales is by Government boat OF by the
courtesy of some passing whaler or seal
ing schooner.
Then, when Lopp realized that the only
readers of the paper, except at very rare
intervals, would be the editor and his wife,
he came to the conclusion that the paper
should be issued but once in each year.
And SO it has been.
The paper has just issued Its fifth num-

This was before the Klondike had become
known, and before the frozen sands and
gulches of the remote north had begun to
give up their store of golden treasure.
The only interest that the people of the
United States then had in that country lay
in the amount of blubber, whalebone, sal
mon and seaskins that it produced and the
relation that it bore to the long-Sought-
for North Pole.
But the Government had begun to take
more than a passing interest IN its posses
sion acquired from Russia, and long before
the Bulletin was established by its mis-
sionary editor, Cape Prince Of Wales had
been decided upon a supply station for
Government survey vessels, ice-bolmd
whalers, and reserve storage place for polar
explorations.
1t was, then. to this point that Mission
ary Lopp and his wife were sent.
