Il met a man the other day who
was afraid no one would see his at"
says a writer in the Memphis (Tenn,)
News.
I've seen such men before. In
Nashville the writer was once in
charge of the publicity end of a large
department store. As the store used
page ads as a regular thing. this page
was completely filled with hundreds of
small items from various crpartments
so that each item was very unobtru-
sive indeed.
The manager of the ribbon depart
ment said that no one would see those
small items.
I'VE agreed upon a test. He agreed
for &c. for three hours only one Sat,
urday. On the other hand the writer
agreed to place that item in a miscel
l~aneous list without any kind of bold
display. This is the way the item
was set up:
"N, ash Ribbons to 3 inches wide,
worth up to 1Oc, a I'd, &c.
AS this small item appeared away
down in the bottom half of a full page
ad, he had every chance to win hi:
money.
What was the result? His whole
department was taken by storm. He
limited each sale to five yards, but in
spite of that he sold 234 bolts (i6S

DID LINCOLN SAY IT?

And now they are trying to make
us believe hat Lincoln never said
You a fool all of the people some
of the time and some of the people all
of the time, but you cannot fool all of
the people all of the time"
Mr.. w. E. Curtis says:
Miss Helen Nicolay, daughter of
the late John G.. Nicolay, President
Lincoin's private secretary and bio
grapher. says that her father, when
questioned, as he was frequently, told
al! inquirers hat he did not believe
Mr.. Lincoln was the author of the cpl
granl-at least, that he never heard it
quoted or attributed to him while he
was alive. Mr.. Nicolay was convinc-
ed that P. T. Barnum was the author.
"a. r. Spafford of the library con
gress. who Is the highest authority on
quoted about "fooling the people is
not found in any of the authentic
writings of Abraham Lincoln, and his
biographers believe it to be spurious.
James 7. Smith, who has held a
position in one of the executive depart
ments in Washington ever since the
civil war, says that the late Justice
Cartier of the supreme court of the
District of Columbia told him that Mr..
Lincoln made the remark at the White
house to a delegation of citizens from
Ohio, who who were being introduced
by him (Cartter) when he was a mem
Der of congress in the early days of
the war. The subject of the
ton was the arguments used by the

advocates of peace in the north in ia
yor Of stopping the war.
Il. f. Swelling Of Algoma, Iowa,
says: The remark appears on page
1874 of a book entitled 'Lincoln's Yarns
and Stories, published by Henry Neil
in 1901. In a conver alton with a
caller at the White house Mr.. Lincoln
Is alleged to have said: IF you once

Why Not SEQ Mexico7

F~orty-eight hours trayel will take
you from the cold clustering northern
winter to a land of sunshine and flow
ers. What Egypt and India are to the
old world, Mexico is to the new. "A
land of white sunshine, redolent with
flowers: a land Of gay costumes,
crumbling churches, and old converts;
a land Of kindly greetings. of extreme
courtesy, of open. broad hospitality
1t was more than enough to revel in
an italian sun. lighting up a semi-trop-
ical land; to look up to white-capped
peaks. towering into blue; to look
down upon wind-swept plains, encir-

and to realize that today, in its varied
scenery, costumes. architecture, street
life, canals crowded with flower laden
boats, market plazas thronged with
gaily dressed natives, faded church in

CRYING FOR HELP.
Lots of 1t in Laramie But Daily Grow
ing Less.

The kidneys cry for help.
Not an organ in the whole body Sc
delicately constructed.
Not one so important to health.
The kidneys are the filters of the
blood.
When they fail the blood becomes
foul and poisonous.
There can be no health where there
is poisoned blood.
Backache is one of the first indica.
tons of kidney trouble.
1t is the kidneys cry for help. Heed
it.
Doan's Kidney Pills are what is
wanted.
Are just what overworked kidneys
need.
They strengthen and invigorate the
kidneys; help them to do their work;
never fail to cure any case of kidney
disease.
Read the proof from a Laramie citi-
zen.
A. J.. Johnson, Of 700 Eighth street,
says. when ! first learned about
Doan's Kidney Pills and went to the
Laramie Drug company's store for
them the pain in my back was just
commencing. l used the treatment as
directed and the aching ceased. So
pleased was I with the speedy cure
that advised a friend of mine to try
the remedy, and, following my advice,
she took a course of the treatment.
The results were equally as pronounc-
ed as in my case. This, think,
stamps Doan's Kidney Pills as a medi.
cine up to the representations made for
it. l should always be pleased to ad-
wise its use."

CHEYENNE AND IT'S FISH.

A few years ago bass were planted
in Lake Minnehaha, in Cheyenne's cor,
porate limits, presumably that the
anglers of that city and those who de
light in a nice mess of fish fresh from
the water might have some benefit oil
the state appropriation made Tor the
propagation of fish. But they are
doomed to disappointment. The city
council is OF the opinion that it would
be detrimental to the interests OF the
city to permit fishing therein, alleging
that the small boy does not exercise
sufficient care in walking along the
shore nor in his treatment OF the
young trees growing in the park.
The greatest good to the greatest
ENTHUSIASTICALLY, morally and imam
cially-is certainly on the side of open
fishing in Lake Minnehaha. Suppose
the small boy does injure a few willow
trees during the year? Is it not OF far
greater advantage to the city at large
to permit him to enjoy this pleasant,
interesting recreation than to drive
him to something far worse, Is it not
more profitable to the people OF Chey-
enne that they be permitted TO catch
several thousand pounds of fine bass
annually than to raise a few scrub will
lows along the shore of the lake? But
suppose the willows are deemed abso-
lutely necessary to the peace and hap
piness of the Magic City, would it not
be far better to keep a policeman there
than to deprive the anglers OF their
sport and throw away the opportunity
to furnish q large amount OF excellent
food to the citizens of Cheyenne?
Cheyenne at best has but little re
turn from the money it spends in the
propagation of fish. The streams of
Laramie county are not close to that
city and those even twenty or thirty
miles away are small in size and furn-
ish poor sport for the fishermen. The
bass in the lakes, however, have grown
to fine size II have been found to
hhc spun ahu AAoSl GASclltiL
food. Hundreds were caught this
spring before the wise solons of the
council took it into their heads that an
old ordinance prohibiting fishing in
M%innehaha should be enforced. A pc
tition Is being circulated asking that
the ordinance be repealed and it is
hoped that the city fathers will see
the error of their ways and permit fish,
ing at the lake.
The Leader has made a suggestion
that fishing be permitted in boats only,
but this will not do. 1t would practi-
cally bar the small boy from the pleas
ure or make it very dangerous for him
to pursue the sport. 1t would deprive
the expert fishermen themselves from
the sport of fine angling, as it is i'm
possible to make a nice cast from a
boat. The Leader should revise its
judgment in this respect and insist up
on an open season at the lake to CON
form to the state law. No one would
be injured thereby and great benefit
would result.

BALKAN SITUATION
MORE COMPLICATED.
OPEN BREACH BETWEEN GREECE
AND ROUMANIA TAKES ON
DANGEROUS ASPECT.
No Actual Warfare Is Expected, but
Economic Battles Certain to Follow
Unless There Is Settlement.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov 6.-An
open door breach between Greece and
Roumania will, according to private in
formation soon make the dangerous sit
uation in the Balkans still more COM
plicated.
During the beginning OF the last
month Greece recalled it's diplomatic
representative from Bucharest, and Rou-
mania was forced to withdraw her min
lister from Athens.
One immediate cause for the breach
was the fact that the Sultan recognized
the independence of the Koetso-Wal-
lachs, people living near the Greek
border in Macedonia, who number per-
haps 100000. They belong to the Rou-
manian RAGE, but were claimed by the
Greeks to be under the command of the
Greek patriarch in Constantinople.
AS it is not possible for the two coun-
tries to attack each other either on land
or on sea, the only damage they can in
fict on each other it is stated, would be
through an economic war, in which, ac
cording to statistics, Roumania would
have the advantage.
