HOW DID SHE KNOW.

They were taking Sunday after

He was tall and broad-shouldered.
Also strong g-armed-but let us not
anticipate.
She was of average height, wore a
stunning gown, and might be classi-
fled as comely blonde.
Their line of march lay along a
peaceful street in south side sub
urb. Ahead of them was long, dark
subway where the street ran under
tie elevated tracks of two or more
of the great trunk lines of railway
of which Chicago is the common cen
ter.
You're not afraid to go through
here, are you, Cascaretta?' he said, as
they entered the subway.
"Afraid?" she answered. mo.
why should | be? 1t looks perfectly
harmless, and there's nobody in sight
Besides sand she looked up at him
shyly-"you are along"

little closer as the shadows closed
about them.
They proceeded deliberately. There
was no occasion for haste.
Still, he felt compelled to take hel
hand, to prevent her from stumbling
on the smooth cement sidewalk.
"How dark it is, Gerald" she ex-
claimed.
Yes" he said, placing a protecting
arm around her. "It's pretty dark
here, for fact. We're near the mid
die of it now.'
Presently she spoke again.
This is the darkest place, isn't it ?"
Eyes, Cascaretta," he answered,
drawing her to him tenderly and kiss
ing her.
Instantly she broke from his EN-
brace.
II couldn't help it, dear!" he fal-
tered.

dignant girl, smoothing her pompa
dour and rearranging her hat, you're
just like all the men! You can't berd
your head when you kiss a girl! You
compel her to stand on tiptoe to reach

through the subway in silence.

All Summer Advertising Soliciting
(By Harry B. Schreiber.)

| Why does advertising always fall
off in the summer months? There is
no reason that can be advanced for
| it that will hold water. No merchant
| is able to say why business should
fall off in his lioe in the season of
! the year that of all others is so espe-
cially profitable to the man who works
with his hands, and he will not deny
that the man who works with his
hands is above all men the man to
whom he must look for his prosperity
If the man who works with his hands
was in the habit of stopping his buy
ing in the summer months and saving
his money for the purpose of buying
in the fall, there might be found in
that state of affairs an argument for
the stopping of the campaign by the
merchant for the dollars of the toiler
But he does not stop buying and he
does not hoard his dollars. He enters
erty that brought him into the sum-
mer. He ordinarily has not one of the
many dollars he has earned in the
time of abundant work.
Can the merchant, who knows that
this is true quite as we'll as does the
writer, advance any good argument in
support of his conviction that the
same sort of advertising that lured
the wife of the toiler to his stcre in
the fall and winter will not lure
her in the summer? Let him turn to
the advertising pages of the newspa-
pers of the big cities. 1t may be true
that he will find falling off in the
advertising of the small dealer, but
he will discover that the great de-
Eartment stores are running their ad-
lertising with nearly the same force
and using practically the same space
as in ether seasons of the year. If
he knows anything about modern bus
mess conditions, he is aware that the
managers of the department stores
are the shreWdest business men in
the world that the president does
not draw the salary that is paid to
the head Of such house as Marshall
Field and company, and that twenty
five thousand dollars a year is by no
means an unusual salary to be paid
the right man by one of these tre-
Let the solicitor present the picture.
Let him show to the small merchant
in the interior city that the depart
ment store and the mail order house,
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1905-10-17

, which he considers his greatest enc
| mics, are at work with the pubic
, ALL OF THE TIME-that the men
who have made and are making for
! tunes in buying and selling are not al
lowing the people TO GET OUT OF
THE HABIT OF BUYING-thatt these
men have found out that, like the
school boy who has been away from
his books for two or three months
and becomes dull in his sums, the wO-
man who has not had her buying taste
stimulated by the reading of the bar
gain advertisements in her newspa
! per during the summer LOSES THE
INCENTIVE TO BUY.
1t is nonsense to hold that summer
i is hot season. 1t is not. The fact
that it contains a greater number
CT hot days than the seasons of spring
, and fall make it peculiarly the sea-
,, son of light attire, but that is all the
greater reason for the pushing of the
advertising campaign. Coal bills and
gas bills are lighter. Few of the peo-
pie are idle. Money is plentiful for
it is spent on every hand in the pur
suit of pleasure. If it were not that
the railroads and the resorts, near and
far, advertise recreations, it would go
elsewhere. The fact that they do ad-
vertise and that their advertising gets
the money is proof that summer ad-
vertising is equally as effective as ad-
vertising that is used at any other
time of the year. If the great depart
ment stores, the mail order houses
and the resorts are able to attract
dollars, with summer advertising,
why is the merchant of the interior
city, whose goods are as seasonable,
in July and August as they were in
June, barred?
If it is because he is less enterpris-
ing in keeping the things that attract
women in summer. the solicitor who
knows his business will be able to
tell him just where the trouble lies.
He must, however, be told diplomat
ically. The object lesson is of pecul-
lar value here Show him what his
competitors, the department stores
of the big cities and the mail order
houses are doing Tell him to uuit
swearing at the results of their
competition with him and to stop it
by showing the people what he has
through well Worded and we'll dis
played advertisement, giving them to
understand that he has what they
tant every day in the year.

FOOTS HIS OWN BILLS.

Railroad circles have not been reas-
sured by the presidents determination
to foot all of his own expenses during
his approaching southern trip. 1t is
believed that this decision only adds
emphasis to Mr. Roosevelt's determin-
alton to do something to obliterate the
railroad-rate evil and wants to feel
perfectly free to exercise his own will
in the matter. The railroads would
have been only too glad to furnish the
transportation and other facilities of
the journey free of charge, but the
president did not think that he should
accept free transportation, so, con-
sequently, will pay the $1,000 cost of
the journey out of his own private
purse. x.t.

"coLp STORAGE" GERM KILLING.

The editor of the Gazette at Gas
tonia, N. c., has evolved a unique if
startling preventive for yellow fever.
It is nothing more nor less than the
"cold storage" treatment. Says the
Gazette:
"The advent of frost is hailed with
JOY in all yellow fever localities. We
do not know whether such a treatment
has ever been empolyed, but the effec-
tiveness of the first frost in Destroy
ing the germs of the plague suggests
a form of treatment that might prove
effective as precaution, at least, If
not remedy. 1t is this: Place all
suspected persons and all Of the sick
in cold storage-abSolutely cold stor-
age. Those of us who have visited
the interior ice factories know some
thing of the flinty coldness, the icy
coldness, of the atmosphere Within
and have noticed, or made snow balls
from the heavy, frosty coating on the
II lCI IOl IIoA pipes. II ID VI uC .1et' ScAA
does not always do what frost will
do; still may it not be possible that
such degree of cold as may be easi
ly procured and maintained in cold
storage plant devised for the purpose
would prevent the development OF
the yellow fever germ in the suspects.
even if it could not destroy it in the
patients? And if the fever is trans
mitted by mosquito, screens assist
ed by an artifically frosted atmosphere
might double the chances against
fatal termination of the disease and
against it's distribution"
There is no doubt in the world that
the Gazette's plan is a decidedly eff
fective one. 1t most undoubtedly
would kill the germs, but it is also I'M
fortunately true that it would have
to kill the patient first AS germ
killer the "cold storage" treatment
would be unexcelled but for the slight
inconvenience of annihilating the patti
ent before it could accomplish its ulti-
mate object.

TO OUR FRIENDS AND PATRONS:

We beg to announce that we have
determined to dissolve our individual
Local Insurance Agencies, and, asso-
oiate ourselves in one single Agency.
and to that end that we have organic
ed and shall charter the HOME IN
SURANCE AGENCY" which will be-
sin business at No. III Main street,
On November /, 1905.
This new plan will greatly reduce
our expenses, and at the same time
enable us to render better and more
satisfactory service to our patrons,
relieving them of the necessity of
dealing with a multiplicity of agents,
for scarcely any line will be too large
for the HOME AGENCY to handle
alone.
The new Agency will also conduct
a general Real Estate Business, in
Guiding the conveyancing aad the ne
sotiations OF loans.
1t will represent ncne but Old Line
Stock Companies, affording the sound
est of indemnity, and it's facilities will
be many times greater than those of
my other agency in this territory.
We are not strangers, but old citi-
zens of this community, and expert
enced insurance men, well known to
YOU, and we promise the same honest
dealings as have characterized our
former Agencies, individually, in the
past, and also that intelligent service
lat arises from experience alone.
There will be no confusion in hand
ling your lines already in any of our
former Agencies for your renewals
shall have our prompt and careful
attention as the eXpirations are reach
ed.
We cordially and heartily thank you
fer the confidence and patronage here
tofore bestowed upon each of us, and
earnestly solicit the same for the new
Agency. Very truly,

The boy was II years old.
there were nine months of school with
a lot of play and no school.
This vacation was to be a little diff

Come on, son, l need your help

days work was done. 81 want this
dirt carried up to our fiat
The boy opened his mouth wide
His father wanted him to carry bas.
kets of earth up three flights of steps.
There was queer feeling of resent
ment all about inside of him.
q can't carry dirt" he said.
"Never too late to learn" said
father good naturedly. Here, you
take the lighter basket"
Up the stairs went the boy. The
air was close and he got hot and
breathless.
Down he came again. The dirt had
to be dug up and shoveled into the
baskets. He grew hotter and the
sweat began to trickle down his back.
The boys are playing ball. I'm
going over," he said at last with i'm
patience. 81 can't shovel dirt"
"All right, old boy" said father.
but I'm disappointed in you had
expected to find you able to stick to
thing. I'd counted on your help,
too. But it's all right. Go ahead and
play ball.
The boy washed his hands and went
over into the next yard 1t was the
first time he ever remembered of feel,
ng uncomfortable when playing ball.
Tonight it wasn't much much fun.
Pretty soon he left the boys and
went up stairs to his mother. BY and
by he came down, rolled up his
sleeves and went at the shoveling.
His father had planned a little gard
en- for the fire escape corner. It tool
lot of dirt.
Inc boy sweat and puffed. He
bllstered his hands. But he stuck.
AT last the work was done. Father
and son washed themselves and got
ready for supper.
After supper when the father had
stretched himself out for a pleasant
hour with his newspaper the boy
came to him.
