When all We're gone except the Eltons,
they talked 1t over. Carlton had hunted
up Elton, pledged him to secrecy. and
then with Mrs. Elton to help the rest
was easy enough. The miSchief-loving
couple enjoyed the joke within a Joke
most thoroughly, and with little persua-
sion decided to go on to Chicago with
the Cartons next day and give the
Alpha Sigma Sigma a rousing reception.
Next morning Chase and Chauncev
and Cameron were disturbed at their
breakfasts by "A telegram, sir, and the
boy says, Collect five dollars"
n telegram of that length? What
could it mean? The message was long.
and seemed to be a farrago of nonsense,
mere words strung together. But out of
it the bewildered recipients grasped this
much: yourself and wife are invited
to a last meeting of the Alpha Sigma
Sigma Club at Cartons rooms tomorrow
night"
What could it mean: And the tele-
grams came from New-York too!
Each man called at Cartoons office on
his way down town. OF on his weddi-o-
trip. We godsl went on the twenty-iifth
that was before he could have received
any lcttersl Was it possible he had had
that card up his sleeve all the time,
At luncheon they met and compared
notes, but could come to no conclu-
sion.
The next night no time was wasted in
keeping the appointment. They found
the rooms ablazc with light and fragrant
with flowers, and were greeted by most
charming Mrs. Carlton.
Not one word of explanation could they
get. Elton Only shouted with laughter
when one ventured question, although
he said that THE woman was his sister
and that he believed it was an affair OF
many years standing, dating back TO
college da-s
As they rose to drink the brides health,
Carlton said:
Let us drink TO the passing of the
Alpha Sigma Sigma. Mrs. Chamcey,
Mrs. Chase Mrs. Cameron, Mrs. Carlton,
you will find added to Your bank ac-
counts one hundred dollars, the price
we pay for breaking the rule of that
honored club. 1t no longer exists, and

A WORD WITH ADVERTISERS
Advertising With a Plan,

The modern advertiser goes
about the ad vertisln g
campaign in totally different
way to the advertiser who is
governed by precedent. The
wide-awake advertiser is not
content to believe that any old
kind of advertising placed in
most any medium that might
happen along will get him re-
suits, but he goes to work and
formulates a plan to get as much
as be can for the money invested
the same as he would were he
planning to buy anything else
for his advertising on a fixed
plan and along scientific lines.
Too many business men think
that advertising consists in put
ting copy in a medium and wait
ing for results, they have got
along anu made some money in
this way for good many years
and they don't see any necessity
for a change now. If this sort
of advertising pays, carefully
planned advertising would pay
them ten times over.
Advertising conducted on the
"no plan" basis cannot possibly
yield the returns that it would
if it were the result of care
fully arranged policy. The bus
mess houses who do such adver-
Using get only the business of
the people who actually want
h goods and com e
and get them because the add
vertisement gave them the in
formation that they would have
had to find in the city directory.
The profitable kind of adver-
Using is the kind of advertising
that creates wants-make things
they had not thought of before
that gets hold Of the desire and
makes sales.

FRANCE AFTER CASTRO.
Hioh.Handed Acts Of the Venezuelan
Government Arouses Frenchmen
to a BeIligerent Attitude.

France has officially informed the
United States of the action Of the
Venezuelan government against the
French Gable company, in bringing
suit and cutting the company's ca
bles, which she regards as high-hand-
ed and unwarranted. While insisting
that diplomatic means will be exhaust
ed in the effort to relieve the situa-
ton, it is declared that President Cas-
tro is rapidly exhausting French pa
tience and thereby forcing France to-
ward the limit of diplomacy.
France has invited the attention OF
the American government to the Ven
ezuelan situation because Of its inter-
ests in Pan-American affairs, and in
order that it may ascertain the prob
able course of action which this gov
eminent will take against Venezuela.
1t is the wish of the French govern
ment to act along parallel lines as
far as practicable.
These developments in the Venezue-
Ian situation are regarded as the pre-
liminary steps toward the relief of 4
situation in Caracas, which Europe as
well as the United States has for some
time regarded with dissatisfaction.
Early Friday M. Jusserand, the
French ambassador, sent his first Sec
retary, M. Des Portes de la Fosse'
to the state department to inform Of
ficials there of the suit of the Vene-
zuelan government against the French
Cable company, and of the concern
which this action has caused the
French government.
It is pointed out that it is the wish
OF the French government to settle
as quickly as possible its differences
with Venezuela and in case a French
ultimatum is followed by no relief In
the situation France will have well
nigh reached the limit Of diplomacy.
In view of the unfavorable condl-
tions in Venezuela, at this moment,
the French armored cruiser Duplex
and the protected cruiser Bulien de
Gravierre of % knots speed, which
are now in the Caribbean sea, will be
retained in that vicinity Indefinitely.
Although the greater part OF the
North Atlantic fleet is soon to come
north as far as Pensacola for target
practice, an adequate contingent viii
remain in Dominican waters to guaru
American interests there and in case
of an emergency in Venezuela the
fleet at Pensacola will be in easy
cruising distance. 1t is possible that
the French cruisers may touch at Pen
sacola, during the stay there Of the
American fleet, to obtain supplies OF
merely to pay a friendly visit

Child Pensions in France.

Words Held LibelIous.

In a case brought before the su-

demurrer, a decision was handed down
a few days ago, declaring that it is
libellous to publish white man as
negro. Two newspapers referred to
2 white man as "colored." He entered
suit against each for $4,000. One
PAPER demurred, claiming that under
the 18th. 14th and 18th amendments
tc the constitution the application OF
tho word negro" or "colored" to any
one is not defamatory nor libellous.
The court cites a number of cases and
says:
1T must be apparent from consult
ing the texts Of these amendments
that there is not the slightest refer
ence to the social conditions OF the
two races and nothing can be import
ed into those amendments to give any
such effect. We take pleasure IN
bowing to the authority of the United
States in regard to these three
amendments, but we would be very
far from admitting that the social dis
t:nction subsisting between the two
races has been in any way affected.
We therefore, hold that these three
amendments to the federal constltu-
ton have not destroyed the law OF this
state, which makes the publication OF
p white man as a negro libel"
