Points For Advertisers.
From Ad-Art.

Stu-AEG.
The street parade of show is
what the display window is to your
store, but your newspaper adver-
Using must back it up closely to
secure the best results.
Don't be afraid to advertise Free
ly because the store front is not the
most attractive. If you have what
the people want and they find it
out they will find you. The quick
est way is to tell them in paper
that they all read.
The newspaper advertisement
which says great deal about one
subject will appeal more forcioly
to the reader than general article
which scatters its force over large
number of items It will make
the readers see at glance the val.
ue of what the firm is talking about
and cause him to appreciate the
knowledge of the goods advertised.
In writing your advertisement
don't manufacture an imaginary
customer and try to talk to him.
Take some customer you know we'll.
Study what will interest him.
Write your advertisements at him.
There are many more like him if
he is an average man. You will
reach them in that way. Iuagina-
ry customers don't spend mach
money.
In advertising, say something.
This is good advice always. If you
are attracted by speilor on street
corner you listen an instant and if
he is saying anything worth hear
ing you hear him through. but if
he is talking "just talk" as sort
of bluff to lead up to the place
where he will impose upon the peo-
pie, you pass on. People are will.
ing to listen to your talk in your
advertising SO long as you say
something that is really interesting
or beneficial, but you cannot ex-
pect them to follow you through a
column or pointless talk that could
have been condensed into few
lines. Select your topic, tell what
there is of interest about it in an
enterprising way and then quit.

OPEN DOOR in Gina.
Secretary Hay Indites Sharp Note 10
the Celestial Rulers.
PROTEST ALSO sENT TO The CAR.
VIII Resent Any Failure to Redeem
the Pledge Made to President
Mckinley Concerning
Trade IN tie Orient.

Washington, Feb 2O.-It has been
understood here from the outset that
the terms OF the British-Japanese
agreement to preserve the integrity of
China. was submitted in advance to
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Hay and approved by them. Follow
ing out the traditional policy, however.
OF avoiding entangling alliances, the
United States positively declined to
become party to any actual agree
ment concerning China. The agree
ment between Great Britain and Japan
was dated Jan. 30. There is therefore
deep significance that on Feb. 1, two
days after the treaty was signed, this
country sent to Russia a note prac-
tically adopting the principal of the
treaty as the policy of the United
States. The agreement between Great
Britain and Japan Is largely mill
tary one and provides for joint use
of forces in case of hostilities. Score
tary Hays letter, of course, could not
go TO that extent, but the substance
of 1t as telegraphed leaves no doubt
that Russia. has been notified OF the
fact in strong diplomatic language
that the moral support of the United
States is with Great Britain and Japan
and that this country will necessarily
resent any failure on the part of Rus
STA to redeem the pledge it made to
President Mckinley that the open
door policy should be applied to Man
churia.
The following is said to be the sub
stance of the note of Secretary Hay
as forwarded to Picking:
can agreement whereby China
gives any corporation or company the
exclusive right or privilege of open
ing mines. establishing railroads or in
any other way industrially developing
Manchuria can but be viewed with the
gravest concern by the government of
the United States. 1t constitutes a
monopoly which is distinct breach
of the stipuiations of the treaties con-
cluded between China and foreign pow
ers and thereby seriously affects the
rights of American citizens. It re-
stricts their rightful trade, exposing 1t
to being Disseminated against, inter-
fered with, or otherwise jeopardized,
and strongly tends to permanently inn
pairing China's sovereign tights in
this part of the empire, while 1t seri-
ously interferes with her ability to
meet her international obligations. On
the other hand, the attainment OF one
power of such exclusive privileges for
the commercial organization of its ma
tionality conflicts with the assurances
repeatedly conveyed to this govern
ment by the imperial Russian minis
ter of foreign affairs of the imperial
governments intention to follow the
policy of the open door as advocated
by the government of the United
States and accepted by all the treaty
powers having commercial interests in
the empire"

Some one has figured that the
average boy who is dependent up.
on his parents for livelihood un-
til he reaches the age of twenty
one. costs $4,000. The question
naturally arises, does it pay to raise
boys; are there not other crops that
would prove more profitable? If a
boy turns out to be cigarette
fiend, with breath like turkey buzz
zard, it is safe to say that the pa
rent might have invested his mon
ey to a much better advantage.
But if the boy grows to manhood
with the lesson we'll learned that
wealth and success grow only on
bushes that are watered by the
sweat of ones brow, the parents
need not begrudge whatever they
have spent upon him, for he will
be source of increasing joy and
pride to their hearts, and when
they grow old and their hands
tremble and their steps are falter-
ing they will have strong arms to
lean upon and help them over all
rough places that lie in that twi-
light path of theirs.
