A merchant over at Rolla states
that his advertising last year cost
him 45 cents for every 500 worth
of goods sold. He uses a half
page for his business announce
ments each week and says that as
long as the people read newspa-
pers he will advertise. There's a
man possessed Of a good head.
Just as soon as merchants begin to
look upon advertising as a branch
of their business which requires
as much care as any other part of
it, then will advertising commence
to pay. Honesty, force, original
ity and p%ersistency in advertising
make it a paying venture.-Botti

An Appreciation.

Rear Admiral Evans in the May
issue Of McClure's Magazine says:
"For comfort and luxury, the
special train on which he travelled
made q lasting impression upon
the Prince and his suite. Prince
Henry said: II have seen the
best equipment on Russian rail-
roads, and they are the best in
Europe; but I have never seen or
imagined that a train like this
could be put together"
Coming from such an authorata-
tive source this is indeed q cons
pliment especially SO as two of the,
cars, The Ohio and Iowa, belong.
to the regular equipment Of the
Chicago Great Western railroad.
These beautiful compartment
sleeping cars run every night
between Chicago, st. Paul and
Minneapolis on the "Great West

One thing that has proved very
interesting to this school has been
the organization of an L. T. L.,

of becoming familiar with Parli-

taught in that special line.
Election Of officers occurring
every two months SO each pupil in
school has theI time to serve as

The society enjoyed a rare treat
at its last meeting on Friday
April Is, in the way of a talk by
Mrs. Norman Morrison, on her re-
cent visit to the Pacific coast
This was surely an educationa
feast and given in Mrs. Morrison,

RUHLIN WRITES.
Tells in Letter How He Defeated
Sharkey.

New York. July s.-The following let
ter has been received here from Gus
Rubin, who is now in London:
We'll, ] got there with the wallop at
last. I suppose you have seen by the
papers that beat Tom Sharkey.. Tom
wasn't such a tough one after all, and
1 got him with hard punches, and that's
the way ] beat him.
you remember where Jeffries smash
ed him in the ribs at Coney Island and
broke two of them? Well, that's the
spot 1 sent them home and Tom didn't
like it little bit. I didn't forget what
/ was told when I fought Peter Maher.
Billy Madden said then that I never
punch and that would have to learn
to punch hard if 1 ever wanted to get
to the top. What do you think of me
now?
I'm going for Jeffries now and I
think / can beat him. Madden says he
knows I can. I wonder if he will give
me fight? I'll try to make him when
get back. / am going to sail for home
soon.''
1t is likely that if Rubin is as good
as he thinks he is he may have chance
with the Pacific grizzly providing that
gentleman gets the decision over Fitz-
simmons. If Fitz wins it is hardly like
ly that Rubin can beat the ba1d-head-
err bruiser of Bensonhurst- Fitz trim
med him handily at Madison Square
Garden and probably he can do it again
unless the old mamie is 47-has got
too stiff in the joints to use his old
time speed, and Rubin has improved
sufficiently in form to be considerably
better than he was when the pair
bumped into each other.

A TRIP FOR GOLD HEELS.
Great Racing Colt May Be Sent to
English Tracks.

English Tracks.
New York. July e.-Horsemen are talk
ing of a probable match race of an inter-
national character. Gold Heels grand
work in breaking the worlds record, with
1875 pounds up, caused the talk. It is
suggested that Gold Heels represent
America, and that the best thoroughbreds
of England, France, Germany and Aus
tria be challenged to a race. The Eng
lish horses aimed at are Ard Patrick, win
ner of the Derby. or Sceptre. the crack
FLY that won both Guineas race and the
Oaks, and for whom an offer of 100000
was recently refused. A race at mile
and half. weight for age, was the gem
eral proposition. Any of the big jockey
clubs in America would gladly hang out
an enormous purse for such race.
Diamond JIM Brady, part owner OF
Gold Heels, was asked his views on such
a race. He said: Gold Heels is the great
est race horse in the world today. Such a
match would be interesting and we would
be willing to enter"
If Gold Heels does not go to England he
will be accompanied by Major Danger
field and other cracks of the McLewee
stables and perhaps by Blues
Trainer Matt Allen said that General
McLewee and Jim Brady had consulted
over the proposition of crossing the At
lantic and that they had submitted the
matter to his judgment
The veteran trainer added: IF I had
Blues along 1 might be tempted to make
the trip Tom WEIGH, who handles Blues,
offered to sell me the horse. I am thor
oughly satisfied with American racing,
and there is nothing definite regarding the
plan as yet

Will Train For Papet.

New York, July 9.-John J. McCaffer-
tvs secret is out His reason for SELL
ing his stable is that he will train the
horses purchased at the recent sales by
Sydney Paget The contract, which, it
is said, calls for $4,000 a year and a
percentage, was closed few days ago.
When Mr.. McCafferty was asked to
confirm the news he hesitated moment
and said: well, didn't want it to be-
come public just yet. Still, as long as
it is out, don't suppose it will do any
harm. I found that owning horses is
no longer profitable for a poor man.
The cost of yearlings is now three
times as much as it was a few years
ago. A man with limited means can
not secure the yearlings he wants.
Then, too, the forfeits eat him up. A
few years ago I paid $4,000 to the var
ious associations for entrance money"

Lansing Has a Boom.

Leavenworth, Kan. July 9-An effort
will be made at the next meeting of the
board Of county commissioners to ineor-
rorate Lansing as third class city. This
has been tried before, but opposition al
ways developed and defeated incorpora-
ton. 1t is proposed this time to take IN
the towns of Lansing and Progress. In
the petitions asking for Incorporation it Is
stated that Lansing has 200 Inhabitants
ly more in the two places than this, and if
Incorporation is. permitted twill make one
city of more than 500 people New resi-
dences are under construction at Lansing
and it has shown much prosperity. The
state has erected new school building.
1t is reported that Warden Jewett is con-
templating putting up large two story
building, and a town hall above. on the
state land not far from the school house.
In addition, he favors matchmaking and
improving the county roads leading into
the town.
