A Great Waste of Money.

A great waste of money spent on ad-
vertising has just beer brought to the
attention of people generally. 1t is
when costly circulars are sent by thou
sands through the post. The number
and variety of these circulars are al
ways great during the holiday season,
and it seems to have been especially
large this year. Some of them were
so elaborate in their Ornamentation
that the expense laid out on them
must have been very heavy. Besides,
the cost of postage wcs great. Almost
invariably, of course, such circulars
are tossed into the fire, unread. If a
man has ON sale an article or articles
of which information is desired by a
limited number of collectors of unique
objects, generally known to him, a
circular may serve his purpose; but.
after all, not so well as an advertise
ment in a daily paper as a part of the
news of the day, for then he sticks
his notice on the bulletin at which all
society looks.
Still another great waste in adver-
Using is due to failure to discriminate
between the value, actual and relative.
of the mediums employed for it. AS a
general rule, of course, the more re-
spect a newspaper commands from it's
readers the more respect they have
for the advertising in it. A bulletin
posted in a disreputable quarter does
not tend to enhance the reputability
of the concern using it.

NOTED CHARACTER DEAD
Noah Raby Claimed He Was Oldest
Man in the World.
He Lived to Be Within One Month of
One Hundred and Thirty-six Years
His Fathe WAS an Indian.

New Brunswick, n. J.-Noah Raby
Is dead. Just before he entered the
Piscataway poorhouse Noah estab-
lished his age at 100. His proofs as
to the date of his birth were not such
as would be accepted by a court; but
they satisfied him and all who listened
to him. He has lived within one month
of thirty-six years since then, and his
death will be entered on the county
records as having occurred in his 136th
year.
Although totally blind, shrivoled and
%shrunken, and with hardly any life
in him, he retained his memory until
within a few months ago, when he lost
all recollection of the past and appar-
emily was merely able to humble to
himself.
'Uncle Noah,'' when he told the
story of his life to visitors, gave the
Gates County Court House, at Eaton
town, N. c., as his birthplace, and said
his father was an Indian and his
mother a white woman He never at
tended school. He learned to read a
little, but never to write.
When he was seven years old he was
~apprenticed to a farmer and stayed
with him until he was twenty-one.
Then he became a hired man on the
farm of widow Penelope Parker, in
his home county. Later he was en-
ployed by her step-daughter, Miss
Sarah Parker.
II fell in love with Miss Sarah,' he
would say, "but I thought she would
not have me, and so l left her farm
and went to sea for awhile. When 1
came back she had married her over
seer. She asked me why 1 went and
when l told her she said l ought to be
ashamed of myself for having such a
faint heart"
Noah's birthdays were the occasion
for great celebrations. Visitors would
come to the poor farm by the score
from miles around. For the last ten
or twelve years of his life he slept
sitting in an old rocking chair, because
he was afraid that by lying down he
might have a rush of blood to his
head and succumb that way.

RUSSIA SHOWS REGRET
Charge Against the Commander Of
the Vieksburg Unfounded.
Denial of the Story That He Refused 20
Aid In Rescue of Russian Sailors
at C~hemulpo Accepted.

washington. D. C.-Oficials of the
Government received with satisfaction
news that the Russian Government
has expressed it's regret over the
wrongful accusation that Commander
Marshall Of the United States run
boat Vicksburg had declined to offer
assistance to the crew of the Russian
cruiser Variag after the battle at Che
mulpo. This SANDER has been the
basis for bitter attacks upon The
United States in the Russian press,
and the Administration felt that some
statement should come from the Rus
sian Government to counterfeit the en-
roneOus impression created in that
country.
The almost total ignorance of the
American Governments general policy
displayed in Russia has been a cause of
establishment to the Administration.
Every silly rumor seeming to show
that this Government is not preserving
neutrality is swallowed with avidity,
and statements that have some founda-
ton i'll fact are distorted.
An alliance between the United.
States and Japan is found in reports
that an American cable is to go from
the Philippines to japanese territory,
and the st. Petersburg editorial writer's
spare neither ink nor energy in anath-
ematizing this country upon the basis
of the most palpable canards.
The charges that the United States
Government is giving either material
or moral support to Japan or has in
any way violated its declaration of
neutrality are absolutely false.
There has been no single action by
this Government since Russia and
Japan became open enemies that can
properly be construed as a cause for
suspicion or dissatisfaction in st.
Petersburg.

PORT ARTHUR IN PERIL.
Hunger May Quickly Force Russian
Garrison To Canit11lnto

Hunger May Quickly Force Russian
Garrison to Capitulate.
Tien-Tsin, China.-Although every
preparation has been made in Port Ar
thur to withstand a fierce and persist
ent siege, there is little hope that the
Russians can make a long defense.
Soon after the Japanese invest the
town by land the Russians will have to
capitulate, ever if not one shot is fired.
Hunger will do much more to force
surrender that will shot and shell.
Most accurate information from Port
Arthur states that already the town is
on very short rations and that the
prices of foodstuffs are going higher
and higher.
Very few civilians are in town, by
far the most of them having fled or
having been sent away. But the prob
lem of feeding those who remain is
giving great anxiety to the authorities.
The japanese fleets repeated attacks
have produced a condition approaching
generalization among the soldiers of
the garrison, the soldiers who, before
the war, We're loudest in prophesying
the heroic deeds they would perform.
On the other hand, the sailors of the
fleet, who were becoming most dispir-
tied, have regained some confidence
since they succeeded in baking the
Japanese attempt to block the harbor.

Curling Popular in Canada.

One of the most popular of Canadian
winter sports is curling, which is sale
to have originated in Scotland. To the
uninitiated the sight is that Of foul
men sweeping the ice; but there is
method in the game, and the curling
stones and tees are arranged carefully
for a scientific player is keen to take
advantage of every ruling. The tees
are placed thirty-eight yards apart; the
players stand behind a tee, and the
score is marked on the ice seven yards
in front of each tee. OF course the
game is to keep the stone within Ger
tain limits, a feat not easily accom-
plished.-St. Nicholas.

WAR RAISES PRICE OF BREAD.
Bakers Profits Are Lessened by In
creased Price of Flour.

New York City.-Bakers' profits on
bread, cake and pastry are being
wiped out by the increasing price of
-four. Unless the cost of wheat and
flour falls, which seems unlikely, the
price of a loaf of bread will be in
creased within a few days.
1t is only competition that keeps the
price of a loaf down to five cents in
stead of seven But all bakers say
that the business will not stand the
strain of a further rise in -four, and
that concerted action will have to be
taken to meet such advance.
Wholesalers may meet the present
emergency in N of two ways-by
increasing the price per loaf Or by de-
creasing the size of the loaves.
Which method will be adopted will be
determined probably by a conference
of the big bakers and dealers.
Even the cracker will become some
what Of a luxury. At N of the larg-
est factories in the country the man
ager said that the price of flour had
increased about twenty per cent. in
the last month, and as they used 1000
barrels a day it was becoming a seri-
Gus matter.
