WANTS HISPAY
Adjutant General Murray viii
Ask Legislature.
For Extra Pay for Work Done on the
War Claims.

Frankfort, Ky, Oct. s-Adjutant
General Murray has decided to appeal
to the legislature TO reimburse him for
work performed by him in the collec-
ton Of the Kentucky war claim from
the national government, and for
which Captain GO. Calhoun was paid
fee Of s7i, 900 by the provisions of a
contract made and entered into with
Governor Beokham.
General Murray arrived here from
West Point to complete arrangements
for the reception OF Governor Beck
ham at Damp Young.
Before his departure from the city
General Murray reiterated his state
ment in reply to the charge Of Major
Owens that he did not receive OF re-
quest one cent of the fee allowed Gap
tain Calhoun for the collection of this
war claim.
~ might have said, and probably
did say to Colonel Breckenridge, that I
believed that was entitled to some
compensation for the collection of the
claim, and say 80 now. for did con-
siderable work In this matter.
~ expect to ask the legislature at
the very next session to reimburse me
for the work I performed in assisting
to collect this claim. I did more work
toward bringing about settlement Of
the Spanish American war CLAIM than
any other man, and have performed
more work since my appointment -
adjutant general, than any Of my pre-
decessors "

southern Illinois some years ago there
were brakes of white variety. but the
trees were pIgmieS when compared with
the yellow cypress giants of the Cache
river country IN Arkansas. and the mann
moth red cypress tree along the 0uachita
river. The slow growth and the uncer-
tam method of reproduction leads to the
belief, says Mr.. Tonney that before many
years the tree will become extinct The
great brakes are rapidly disappearing be-

The belief is held by Wagner's admir-
crs that his music will obtain a faf.
hearing henceforth from American
critics and that the outcome win b..
its more cordial reception. Wagner
was the reformer of music. His great
triumph came in 1876. He had all
along been aiming, 1T 1SsfSfhf'hi music.
He believed the whole school of con
ception and expression TO be wrong In
the Niebelungen Ring his theories frs,
found expression. and the opera was
given by Bayreuth for the first time in
1876. He declared that the French and
Italian schools of opera We're wrong
He contended that the theme should
he poetic in the deepest pureSt sense:
that the poetry should be married 70
fitting music, and that the whole
should he associated with the sympa.
thies and convictions of humanity.
Hence he took his themes from 70
nance. legend and popular myths
Wagner was copious writer. He
collected works along various lines.
and they abound in vigorous, ingcu-
ious. original ideas. He wrote many
0verturcs, songs. marches poems. etc.
But it was years before his style mct
with acceptance outside of Germany.
In America he was ridipuIp1 hv mann,
but eventually he had admirers nun
eTous and influential. He wrote the
grand march for the American centcn-
NAL in 1876. His pieces will never
become popular except in fragments
because of the skill required in their
execution on the plano.

There are two ways of looking at adj
vertising. both of them right. Adyer-
Using should be done during the dull
time for the purpose of stirring up
trade ut that time and also for the
sake of the benefit which will come
from being continually before the pub
lie eye.
A man should just as quickly think
of stopping his advertisements in the
summer or in the duh time after the
holidays as he should think of closing
up his store several months in the year
and keeping it open only when trade
would keep him busy.
1t does not take people very long to
forget things. and if Il store Were
closed up four months or the advertiS-
ing stopped four months a great many
people would have forgotten that the
business was in existence. The other
view of advertising is that it ought Ia
he pushed during the busy time, When
the people are ready to buy.
Advertising cannot be expected tn
sell goods when people don't want
them. and 1t will be naturally most
effective when it gives publicity t"
some desirable article at just the right
time. To be sure, advertising will sell
anything at any time if the price be-
made low enough and the advertise
ment sufficiently attractive. Some lines
of goods can be forced. and some can
not, but even those which cannot j"
forced should not be allowed to drop
out of sight.
Keep up your advertising during the
summer. and YOU will not only profit

sales will also show fine Increase
