ence of enraptured boys A tear
wended its way adown my cheek un-
needed
"Turtr"
The exclamation escaped me involun-
tarily. 1t was not very loud; but the
violinist heard it, stopped second,
smiled, and went on with his selection.
I woke up then, as it were, and be-
came conscious of the wonderful music
he was producing had never heard
anything like it before. When he had
played the sonata to its end the ap-
plause was simply deafening. He was
encored time and again.
Finally the performance came to a
close. AS we reached the street in
coming out from the auditorium a
hand was laid familiarly on my shoul-
der and cheerful voice said: "Hello,
BrissY' I turned around and gazed
into the smiling face of Turf. Yes,
there he was, red hair, freckles and all.
Across the upper part of his forehead
was a red line where the elastic had
held the "signor's" wig in place; and
his upper lip bore marks of recent oc-
cupation. He greeted Ward affection
ately.
"Come on to my room, fellows" he
cried, in his cheerful old way. And
we went, gladly. There we smoked
his choice havanas while he related his
adventures IN foreign lands; his ups
and downs; and lastly his great sue
cess. We went over the old times; and
many laugh we had over the remi.
niscences of our band playing in
Jubilee street.
The hour was late one when we
arose to leave. "Wsait. while I chow
you something boys" said Turf
alias Signor Tortelli. He went over te
an iron5Ound trunk in the corner anG
took therefrom a case. HI opened il
up and showed us a little homemade
fiddle, old and soiled and with only
three strings, and a broken bow
"That was my start, boys" he said
with merry twinkle in his blue eyes

This publication makes its charges on
subscription basis. In the first 150,-
600 copies they insert your ad free Of
charge. After the first 10000 they
charge you $1.O0 for every thousand
copies in which your ad appears. Sup
posing their output is million copies
per month, that would make you pay
for $4,000 copies at $1.O0 per thousand
which is $85O.OO for a full page ad.
There were one hundred and fifteen
pages of advertising matter in the May
number of Everybody's which at the
above figures amounts to $97, ,750.00
year. If this amount is yearly paid the
publishers of just one publication, what
must be the amount paid to all the
thousands of publications throughout
the country. leave that for you to
guess.
L will also call your attention to the
Fairs and Expositions held all over the
country from early spring till late fall.
The street carnivals, county and state
fairs and the great worlds fairs are
simply large advertisements. True, their
promoters may only have the one OBJ
ject, that of making money for them
selves, on wind, but still these fairs
do nothing but advertise the commu-
nifty in which they are held. The pro-
ducts are displayed in the different
booths. The merchant gets cheap ad-
vertising and the promoter gets the
money.
High-class advertising has come to
stay. Poor advertising is rapidly
diminishing. The merchant who uses
well-arranged and well written ads is
bound to attain results which his
brother who uses poor. ones cannot
hope for. Success will knock at your
door if you advertise, and do it well.

cannot deem him quite friend,
What'er his title, age, or name,
That flatteringly would extend
The praise cannot justly claim.
Nor yet friend in him find,
Whate'er his wealth, or race. or state,
Who, somehow, always is inclined
My work to underestimate.
But, better far than both of these,
My friend is he, both day and night,
Who if his judgment hurt or please,
Wants but to Judge of me Alright.

and iron. During certain reception
the conversation changed to cigars and
their value. Prince Bismarck, as it is
we'll known, was great lover of the
weed, his pipe was his companion at
home and during the war, and it helped
him to conquer many difficulty. He
also knew the value of good cigar,
which, wien opposing a hostile foe,
gave him confidence and nerve.
The guests argued that an expensive
cigar, made purposely for grand per-
sonages, cannot take the place of a
cheap one. Bismarck, acknowledging
the truth of that statement, then told
a story about cigar which tasted to
him better than anything he had
ever smoked. He said: cat Honigs-
gratz, came to the end Of my cigars.
AS had already experienced the sacred
feeling one has under those circum-
stances, I saved this last one. [ often
smoked it in my mind, which is also a
pleasure. And remained the happy
possessor of good cigar, even paint
ing the comfort would enjoy smok-
ing it after glorious victory. But
fate intended it to be otherwise. A
poor man, an artillerist who had lost
both arms, begged me for some refresh
ments. I looked through my things,
but I could find nothing. Then my
fingers touched the cigar. 1t was not
refreshments, but what can man do
when he wants to help a sufferer and
has nothing to offer? took the cigar
lit it and put it between the mans
lips. You should have seen the ex-
preston of joy on that poor mans
face. The feeling that came over me
then goes through my veins to this day,
and no cigar ever tasted better to me
than the one I never smoked st.

you did not know where you could find

advertising was conducted two hun
dred years ago. This was the birth of
advertising.
Let us look at it as it is conducted
today. To make it easier will divide
it into three classes. The first I will
call artistic advertising; the second
printed advertising; and the third
billboard advertising.
That I may clearly show what ]
mean by artistic advertising 1 will
take you through the principal bust

along in earnest conversation, possibly
about days gone by and our minds
fixed on some subject q thousand miles
from our present surroundings. AL

by an artistic display in some store
window. We stop and gaze at it and
wonder at its attractiveness. This il

Briss.''
"No; we can't afford it," said I, with
sigh.
Returning home on the evening
which Signor Tortelli's appearance was
to take place we gazed longingly at
those colored placards. But we were
only apprentices, and our wages were
barely enough to live on, so we must
deny ourselves this pleasure, much as
we loved music. When 1 arrived home

Poor Ward was no better off than my
self. had hardly ceased wondering
over this miracle when Ward rushed
in, breathless and excited, and holding
