Chats With Advertisers.

Nowadays when a successful mer-
chant is asked for the secret of his
success he refers the questioner to
his advertising manager.
The trouble with much advertising
is that it is administered like a pat
ent medicine-not in quantities and
conditions to suit the individual case.
Every retailer should think this mat
ter over.
The advertising writer must use
his imagination. Imagination is the
sun that lightens up dark places. It
lends charm to prosaic subjects.
Bare facts are pills that are more
easily digested when covered with a
coating of good writer's magma
ton.
There is little use in spending
money to induce people to visit your
store if you drive them away by rude
less or lack of courtesy.
Retailers. in your ads give plenty
of quotations. Don't have a Niagara
of words and a rivulet of items and
prices. that's too suggestive of a
poorhousc pudding-lots of wind and
very few plums.
In preparing an ad be your re-
porter first and editor afterwards. AS
reporter, get all your best thoughts
on the subject down on paper. as ed
itor. trim. polish and elaborate until
your ad is perfect
1t matters little who writes an ad-
vertisement. provided that it con-
tains the essential qualifications of
good advertising. But. other things
being equal. it is reasonable to sup
pose that the man who has made a
careful study Of the art will prepare
better advertisement than the man
who has had no experience.
After ALL the greatest study Of
mankind is woman, with man as a
side issue. The advertiser should
never overlook this point When he
conquers Her Serene Highness. the
American Woman. he is on the high
way to success.
In advertising to women. don't
waste words-with men, be briefer
still. Men hate detail. women rather
like it; but it's rather expensive to
indulge in muchly.
When you set out to prepare your
ad have a mental picture Of the
space you are to fill Fill this space
right with neither too many words
nor too little. The organ of causal-
ty Gas phrenologsts call it, is very
necessary to an ad writer
Newspaper space is too valuable to
be wasted with poor. pointless adver-
Using. Let every word in your ads
tell. let every sentence convey a
clear cut idea.

A COPY OF THE KORAN.
How a Foreigner Must Go About
Purchasing 1t in StambOul.

How a Foreigner Must Go About
Purchasing 1t in STEAMBOAT.
In STEAMBOAT there are several book
stores the proprietors of which are eli
ther Persians, Arabians, .Abyssinians
or Turks. Not i'll the frequented streets
are these stores, but i'll dark and mar
row alleys. The books in them COM
prise various editions of the Koran,
translated into all the languages of the
orient; theological and historical trea-
tises on the Koran in the Turkish. Per
sian and Arabic tongues, annals which
clearly prove that all the sultans of the
ottoman dynasty were prodigies of
genius and sanctity; marvellous fairy
tales and stories of adventure, which
are more or less fantastic and the sole
object of which is TO prove that no one
should be considered honest. intelligent
or happy unless he is Turkish Mus
Sulman. unless he venerates the sultan.
unless he lives in Stamboul all his life
without ever quitting it even for Il day
and unless he regards as utterly fabu-
lous all that he hears about Europe.
A Mussulman is forbidden to sell
copy of the Koran, and therefore Il for
eigner who desires to purchase the sa-
cred book must proceed as follows: Go
into the bookstore. having on your face
as pious an expression as possible, and
say to the proprietor:
Il shall consider myself eternally in
debted to you if you will present me
with a copy of the Koran
"As | am a devout believer" the pro
prietor will answer Il think it my duty
to assist any unbeliever who desires to
instruct himself in our law Moreover,
you seem to be serious man, and l
am convinced that it is not vain curl
osity which prompts you to obtain a
copy of the Koran but a sincere desire
to study our religion. Therefore l am
willing to make you Il present of this
copy. though | value it highly, for
paid good price for it."
You will then put the book in your
pocket, and 4 minute or two later the
proprietor will say, IL shall consider
myself eternally your debtor il you
will make me a present of -" NAM
ing Il certain sum. If you think the
price too high, YOU may bargain with
him, but You must take care not to
make the slightest allusion to the copy
Of the Koran in your pocket, for in dis
posing of it the proprietor has clearly
broken the law, and it would not be
good policy for you to remind him of
that fact.

Fire Department to be Practically
Reorganized.
A special meeting of the fire de-
partment was held Tuesday night to
consider the preliminary arrange
ments looking to the formation of the
new chemical company. With the
advent of the fire team one of the
hose companies will be disbanded as
the hose can be hauled on the chemi-
cal wagon. In addition to the two
paid firemen, 10 or II volunteers
will be needed in the chemical hose
company and these are to be chosen
from the firemen whose duties or
residence are near the fire hall. The
selection of these men will cause q
practical reorganization of the whole
department and will probably result
il one hose cart being stationed on
the west side of town in the vicinity
of the brewery. This company will
be made up of firemen who reside in
that locality and in case of a fire in
that part of town the fact will be
made known by the ringing of the
fire bell. Hose company No. will
in all probability be disbanded and
it's members be distributed among
the other companies to fill the vacan-
cies created in the selection of men
for the chemical company. The lat
ter will be selected by the chief of
the department, and will afterwards
select it's own officers.

The demand for Worlds Fair eX-
hibit space in all departments is such
that it will undoubtedly be all taken
months before the opening day. AL
lotments are being made rapidly. The
value of the annual product of manu-
featuring industries in the United
States has increased fifty per cent
since the Columbian exposition at
Chicago. Notwithstanding the far
greater area of exhibit space for the
Louisiana Purchase exposition in
comparison with the Chicago fair it
is really less in proportion to the
probable demands from the manufac-
turers and producers in the United
States and foreign countries.

Peculiar Accident in Railroad Yards
at This Place.
A peculiar accident happened in
the railroad yards yesterday morning
while a caboose was being switched
around. In some manner a box Of
matches became ignited, and set fire
to bundle of papers, from there it
communicated to the woodwork. and
before it was noticed the interior Of
the caboose was in flames. There
was no one in the caboose when the
fire started, and when the attention
of the roalroad men were attracted
by the smoke the flames were max
ing rapid Roadway. After a stubborn
fight the yardmen succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the flames, but not be-
fore considerable damage had been
done. 1t is supposed that a sudden
jar caused some heavy object to fall
on the matches, causing the fire.

Baltimore, March 4--Another great
discovery, the dnti-toXin which will

has been announced by DR.. Simon
Flexner. director of the Rockefeller

suited in the plans for the establish
ment of the laboratory and hospital
that is to be built in New York.

which caused te death of millions of
children was received. 1t was then
stated that the energies of investiga-
