SOME PEOPLE HONEST
ABOUT ADVERTISING
Some Actual Examples Where
People Admit They Have Made
Money Through "Record" Ad-
vertiSing

1t is a peculiar fact, but true, that
an honest man will lie more cheerfully
about his advertising than about any
thing else.
Ask most any business man if his ad-
vertising pays and he will say no; that
he merely carries an ad. to help out
the newspaper man.
The average man don t give the mat
ter enough thought to know whett er
it pays or not.
With the general run of people this
way, it is, indeed, refreshing to have a
man come in once in while and .sown
up that he has made some real profit
from newspaper advertising.
This has happened in THE RECORD
office several times recently.
Monday w. E. Woehler confessed
that Sc ad in THE WEEKLY. RECORD
had brought him sale which had net
ted him 500 profit.
The otherday John Amundson owned
that-a e0c want ad. had brought him a
trade in which the consideration: was
$4,000.
Last week J. H. Harrison put in a
30c want ad and it brought back a!lost
gold necklace valued at several, dollars.
Frank Hoyt came in Saturday. SAY
that little want ad. costing less than a
dollar had sold over $50 worth of set
ting eggs for him.
Last week lady lost her.purse and a
IOc ad. found it for her. She was kind
enough to come in and say so.
And there have been others.
So,with:the general tendency to de-
preciate the value of advertising, it is,
indeed. pleasant to have people like
those mentioned above, come in and
acknowledge results.

CHINESE MUSIC.
what DIR. wheweIl, Muster of Trinity,

The remarkable extent OF the knowl-
edge possessed by DIR. William >Whe-
well. at one time master OF Trinity,
Cambridge, is well Illustrated by the
following story, taken from the Life
and Work OF Or. Momerie.'
Two OF the younger dons, growing
rather jealous OF the masters reputa-
ton for omnlscience, determined that
they would discover something of
which he knew nothing They pitched
upon the subject OF Chinese music.
How should he know anything about
Il? They did not. so they went to an
encyclopedia and read the subject up.
The next time they met Whewell at
a dinner party they led the conversa-
ton gradually In the direction of mu-
sic, when they began to discourse upon
the music Of the Chinese and gave out
all their recently acquired information.
Whewell was silent. much to their
satisfaction. Evidently he knew moth
ing about the matter. But just as they
were beginning to rejoice in their tri-
umph he said:
might l ask, gentlemen. where you
got your information
"Oh, yes" they replied. I'VE picked
II up out of such and such an ency-
ciopedia."

The Way q Man Had Revenge For an
Act of Dtscourtesy.
Courtesy always pays; discourtesy

actual happening:
1.-TWO women Occupied compartment
In railway carriage with one man, a
stranger. They were extremely rude
TO this man. In whispers that he could
overhear they criticised his costume,
his figure and his manner. He, to be
revenged, did a singular thing.
The blackness Of tunnel envel-
oped the car, and under cover of the
darkness the man kissed the back of
his hand loudly and repeatedly. Then
when the train entered the light again
he looked from one woman to the other
with significant smile.
@They exchanged glances Of suspi-
cion.
"'Was Ii you he kissedT

"And neither lady would believe the
others denial, and each In her inmost
heart believed the other had encour-
aged the kiss. The man looked cool
and complacent When finally he rose
to 60 he said, lifting his hat with a
tocular air:
Have no fear, ladies'. l shall never
tell which Of you 1t was"

ODD CELEBRATIONS.
A Dinner to which Only Tilted Folks
Are Invited.

A Dinner to which Only Tilted Folks
Are Invited.
Among the eccentricities Of human
nature the celebrating of queer ami
versaries Is perhaps as little noticed as
any. Almost everybody makes merry
over an anniversary of some sort, and
many of them are anniversaries that
would seem to cap for anything rather
than merriment
A caustic sense Of humor prompted
a Chicago man to give on the anniver-
sary Of his mother-in-law's death a
dinner at a fashionable restaurant to
which were invited such Of his friends
as he considered were CALLED by the
yoke under which he formerly groan-
cd. For a time he kept this celebra-
| ton secret, but on its coming to the
ears Of his wife through the treachery
Of one Of his guests that lady prompt
~ imposed an indignant veto. Those
dinners were stopped suddenly and eff
fectually,
| Far otherwise the spirit that sug-
gests the convivial gathering held by
worthy tradesman in = ,ston on May
% of every year. On that day many
years since he met with severe acct
dent, which, though 1t crippled him
fer life, was the means of introducing
him to the life's partner who has
proved for years as devoted a wife as
for weeks she was nurse.
Another instance of the commemora-
ton of the date of an accident Is af-
forded by a lawyer who, having in his
youth fallen among bad ways and
companions, was only rescued there
from by being flung from wagon
and sustaining a broken leg and con-
cussion of the brain. During the long
convalescence that followed the great
ness of his errors dswned upon him,
30 that on his complete recovery he
commenced a new life. On the ami
versary of his spill he always enter
tains such relatives who care to accept
the invitation.
To celebrate the loss of a small for
tune that he had inherited from his
father certain merchant holds an
nually high festival. Deprived Of that
fatal competence so inducive to sloth.
he found himself while still youth
thrown upon his own resources. These
did not fail him. and now, instead of
leading an idle and selfish life on lin
tied means, as but for his loss he

Gems OF his native town.

tered her neighbours kitchen, washing

"Then suppose you tell me about 1t, I"
suggested her friend, 'if there Is any
easier method than mine would like to
hear about it."
"Well, l learned 1t from my mother
many years ago." began Mrs. Collier.
"She was q splendid housekeeper and
trained her daughters wisely in the art;
and one of her theories regarding it was
that women should rest as much as
possible while doing their work. So her
kitchen contained many labor saving de-
vices, and among them was table
of convenient height for washing dishes
sitting down. She taught us first to
clear the plates and other dishes OF all
particles of food, arrange them neatly In
piles, have everything ready, soap, water
and towels, then sit down until the last
one is washed and dried. No matter
how few there were, mother always in
sisted on us sitting down while washing
them.
1--WE used to think it funny for us
girls to sit down as we were seldom tired,
but mother said it was well for us to
form the habit of resting as much as
possible, and perhaps the day would
come when we would be glad of it.
"And, indeed" Mrs. Collier ended
with tender smile, "many time l
have been thankful for the training"
