The RetOrt Feminine.

New York Daily News; In an
uptown restaurant the other
day a middle-aged woman en-
tered the place, and, taking a
seata at one of the tables, careful
ly scrutinized the bill of fare.
She concluded to try some ice
cream pudding at 10 cents a
plate. After it had been serv-
ed she looked it over carefully,
and, calling the waitress back,
said:
do you call this ice cream
pudding?'
"Yessum; and it's very nice,
too"
But where is the ice cream?".
"Oh, that's only the name
given that peculiar make OF
pudding. We are making a
speciality of IT. I'm sure you
will like it when you taste it,"
1T seems to me that you
ought to give ice cream with it
as long as you say it is ice
cream pudding"
1--WE don't give cottages with
cottage pudding" quickly re-
tor ted the witty waitress. This
retort convinced the middle
aged woman, and she ordered
second plate.

With the Minds Eye.

A man blind from birth, speaking to
writer in London Answers of the
mental pictures which unfortunates
like himself have Of external things,
said:
1--WE get some idea of shape, more
than we do of size. Of color, we have
an idea of black and white and of red,
but l think few if any Of us can COM
prehend any other hue. We picture
the sun as an immense mass, with red
rays shooting about it, and daylight
as a million white shafts floating above
the earth.
"a blind mans dreams are not like

| You will be nothing more than pic
! ture on soap calendar after this, un-
| less some man some time falls in love
with you just as he would with a liv-
ing person. when that happens you
will be released from your enchant-
ment'"
Mr.. Wlnklehorst gazed at her with a
gladness in his heart that he had never
experienced before.
She leaned upon his desk with her
Nsoft chin resting in the palm of one
of her little hands and looked into his
eyes with a usefulness that he could
not mistake. Still, he was a proud
man and anxious to have the good
opinion of other people. He wondered
what his friends would say if it should
| become known that he had fallen in
love with q picture OH soap calendar.
The thought troubled him, and the
beautiful maiden, seeing the cloud up
on his face, asked:
| "What has happened to make you
sad? have often seen YOU looking up
admiringly at me as l hung there
above your desk. and, oh, you don't
know how I longed for you to fall in
love with me. / will confess some
thing to you now. I loved you from
the first time I ever saw you sitting
here at your desk. 1t wouldn't be
right for me to tell you this if I didn't
know you loved me, would it? But
you Go love me. If you didn't the spell
was under would not have been
broken"
For some reason Mr.. Winklehorst's
heart sank. He didn't like to have her
sitting there talking that way to him.
1t may have been because a man isn't
likely to be in love very long with the
girl who is too easily won. And then
there was that disagreeable thought
of the soap calendar. He could easily
imagine what his friends would say
when they found out about it. He
would be a public laughing stock.
! AS if she had read his thoughts. the
girl began to shrink away from him.
| This caused Mr.. Winklehorst's love for
her to reassert itself. He forgot every
| thing but her wonderful beauty and
| the splendor of her figure. The deli
cate perfume from her rich garments
seemed to intoxicate him. and he was
determined to possess her.
Don't leave me-" he begged. 'Tm
glad it fell to me to release you from
the spell you were under. Stay with
me. I love you. You are mine. I will
not let you CO."

THE NITRATE SUPPLY.
IT'S Exhaustion Very Remote eontin-
gency.


A good deal has been written about
the imminent exhaustion of the Chill
AN nitrate beds. which to-day supply
the world with the nitrates for COM
mercial fertilizers and expensive manu-
features. The annual consumption of
the world is placed at 100000 tons.
The Chilean Government has 4 deposit
which is estimated at 100000 tons.
There are in addition known private
deposits that are estimated to contain
35,000,000 tons. Making allowance for
increasing annual consumption to meet
the needs of the world, which are al
ways growing, owing TO increasing
population and exhaustion of virgin
soils. thirty or thirty-fve years will
see an end of the visible supply. OF
course new deposits may be discovered
at any time, or the known processes of
extracting nitrogen from the air by
electricity which are now i'll an expert
mental stage, may be perfected, or the
use of "nitragen," that is. the cultures
of soil bacteria, which extract nitrogen
from the air and deliver 1t to the roots
ol plants, may become universal. In
any event the elimination of the Nal
thusian theory that the world will
eventually starve to death for want of
nitrogen in the soil to grow cereals will
rot come within the present generation.
Science before this has performed
seeming miracles, if those two words
may be linked. and scientific investiga-
tors are especially active in pioneer
work along the verge of the great un'
known.

CUMULATIVE VALUE OF ADVERTISING.
Interesting Suggestions From a Proni'
nent Advertising Manager.

nent Advertising Manager.
Some advertisers overlook the cumu-
lative value of advertising. By cumu-
lative l mean that power and value in
advertising that gains in force as the
advertising proceeds.
Advertising is augmented and given
force by successive insertions. Bacon
wrote: GAS for knowledge which man
receiveth by teaching it is cumulative,
not original"
A single large advertisement may
not amount to much in results. 1t may
not do the business. The article adj
vertised is soon forgotten and its erect
quickly lost among the hundreds Of
other advertisements published daily
by the average newspaper. But follow
one advertisement with another; keep
hammering; let one blow follow an
other in rapid succession and results
will come.
When least expected the policy OF
persistent advertising will be produc-
tive of results that can neither be de-
stroyed nor forgotten.
Don't try the costly experiment OF
putting all your money into one big
advertisement and then quitting be-
cause of disappointing results. Divide
your energy and your money. Follow
line of systematic work. Be patient
but be tenacious. Success may come
slowly. but if the proposition adver
tised possesses merit it will be sure

For second place on the ticket Will
liam III. Vanderburgh is the man. He
is the son of the former justice of the

Judge c. M. Pond is third in the
contest, and Elijah Barton is also
nominated
( A Minneapolis paper which sought to
secure pure judiciary advised the
voters to cast their ballots for two
men. If they We're Republicans they
were to vote for Judges Cray and
Harrison, and if they We're Democrats
their candidates were to be Judges
Brooks and Pond.
This caused a riot among the sup
porters of the other candidates., and
as result some of the men vera
slaughtered and the judicial ticket in
Hennepin county causes some of the
leading attorneys of the state to shud-
der. Four good men have been nomi-
nated-in the aggregate-but the ques-
ton which arises in the minds Of
leading members of the bar is whether
the able men will be the ones who will
secure the vote at the general cleo
ton.
Returns from $50 Of III precincts in
Hennepin county show total Repub-
lican vote of 2S,211, while returns from
1872 precincts show a total Democratic
vote of 1861, total vote in the pre-
cincts which had made return of their
tallysheets at l o'clock this morning OF
1928.
The total is about 5000 mere than
was cast two years ago, but while the
Republican vote shows a marvellous
gain. only about half the normal DEM
ocratic vote was cast in Hennepin
county.
A variety of reasons are advanced
for the somewhat contradictory condi-
ton, but the fierce contests and the
great number of candidates for many
Of the places on the Republican ticket,
with a possible determination of many
Democrats to assist the Republicans
in making nominations which the for
mer party could defeat at the elections,
are the two most potent causes of the
increase in the Republican vote and
the consequent slump in that Of the
Democrats.
