little over five years ago. and

Everyone in Kansas City knows
the history of his success. which
is one Of the most phenomenal in
the history of advertising. for
kellerstrass achieved his success
largely through printers ink.
and his big bottle and page ads
are familiar to everybody. Only
recently he said in speaking of
the pages he ran: 1T takes

This was the way kellerstrass

The orgies of the insane, the
wretched inmates of jails and

ALL IN POINT OF VIEW.

Impromptu Sermon Delivered by
Bishop Potter.
Bishop Potter and a fellow clergy
man On a fine May evening came down
Fifth avenue on foot.
Their talk turned upon psychology;
but both were in the mood FOR an in
tellectual frolic rather than serious
discussion. The bishop was excep-
tionally happy. Nearing the park at
Madison Square he observed:
eve can be certain Of nothing
prompted by our W reflections, and
while Thoreau one remarked that
the Almighty did not create the world
in jest there still remains rol us a be-
wilderment resembling it. Fortunate
ly our faith resists Appearances; 9th
erwise what might we not say of the
scenes before us? Over the Fiatiron
building in the sky thew moon looks
like an arc light, merely; while the
building in the night is itself a great
towering cliff, yet, were we as far
away as the seeming arc light we
couldn't see the Flatiron at ALL. A
small point of light, that star seems
nc larger than the head Of a pin;
yet that point of light is n million
times larger than our sun, which not
only increases our respect for the size
of the head on a pin, but causes us to
doubt whether we can justify our own
Impressions by logical means."-New
York Times.

Writes Letters to Himself.

Tying a string around the finger
as a reminder is the old method Of
keeping TAB on a rascally memory"
said a downtown nan as he tossed a
pile of letters into the basket on the
desk.
II have an improvement on It," he
added, pointing to the basket. "All
those letters you see there are ad-
dressed to me. I wrote the letters
myself. didn't dictate them to my
stenographer. I wrote them.
Looks idiotic, doesn't it? 1 have
the most uncertain memory Of any
nan in New York, I do believe.
Whatever I have to do tomorrow is
reduced to a letter. The letter is
mailed the last thing in the afternoon.
I get it on the following morning.
you might think 1 would make a
memorandum of what I have to do.
That wouldn't win. I would throw it
away and forget it. When I get my
WI letter, that fixes in MY mind
whatever is mentioned so that I can
not forget. find that this is the only
certain check"

N THE LINE ASTRONOMICAL.

Hot Ice Cream a New Dainty for the
Fair Sex.
Have you heard of the new hot ice
cream?" asked the woman who seems
to know of all the new things almost
before they come into existence.
1T sounds piquant," said her COM
panion, dry1y.

chatter rooms, where you go after a
shopping tour to pile all bundles on
a couch and sit in a bow window and

are iron lanterns, instead of electric
globes, and the maids wear linen

DO you know what it sounds like to
me? The Frenchman's description of

said It was called pune, but it ought

lemon to make it sour and sugar to
make it sweet, and then he said,

Gave the Countersion.

"a negro just naturally loves a wat
ermelon,' said Representative John
son Of South Carolina, while speaking
Of the melon and peach crop.
Strange, too. that when a policeman
sees a negro with a melon at an un-
~seasonable hour he has it right down
that that coon has stolen the melon.
l heard a story about a policeman
who met a negro in. the early morn
ing hours, and he had a big melon on
his shoulder. The officer eyed the
coon and the melon, and said:
: 81 see you have a melon there"
Eyes, sah," answered the darby.
Use got er melon, but Use fixed fer
you, sah," and pulling out a paper he
handed it to the officer, who read:
""The bearer Of this is O. K. He
paid me ten cents for the melon, and
he is a pillar in the church. James
Elder"
"'You are fixed,'" commented the
policeman.
"'Dat's what I lowed answered
the negro, and he moved."-Philadel.

MAckEREL NOW A LUXURY.

Annual Catch of $4,000 Barrels,
Against 100000 in 1881.
"Mackerel has become a luxury be-
yond the means of the poorer classes"
said Henry Barnes of Sandy Hook,
Mass, to the Milwaukee Free Press.
For sixteen years the fishery of
mackerel has been on the decline and
salt mackerel has risen in price. The
movements of the fish are wrapped
in mystery and so are the causes OF
the failing supply. The. government
fishery department is no better off in
this knowledge than the old fishermen
who have followed the schools up and
down the coast until their hair has
grown as white as the fcam.capped
waves. This much we know. In the
early part of March, the fish in greater
or less numbers struck the southern
coast, in the vicinity of Cape Henry;
by the middle of April the schools
reached the 'capes of Delaware and
slowly advanced past Barnegat and
Sandy Hook. About the middle of
May a school arrived off Yarmouth,
Nova Scotia.
From the size and general charac-
ter OF the fish composing the school
it was apparent that they did not be-
long to the great iittoral schools
which advanced from the south and
it vas presumed they came from
somewhere to the eastward in the
deep sea. The schools often disap-
pear entirely from certain localities
and leave no sign, but it is believed
their movements are practically the
same now as in 1920, the date when
mackerel fishing assumed Importance.
The banner year of the macRerel fish
cry was the cason of 1881, when 43O,-
| 900 barrels were sailed in New Eng
land. OF late years $4,000 to $4,000
barrels has been the catch"

A Chocolate Party.

A chocolate party is a new idea for
a Sunday school class or a church So
cial. The helpers serve hot chocolate
and cocoa with whipped cream, choc-
olate cake and chocolate ice cream.
Sell chocolate candies Of different va
rieties. 1t would be nice if they could
make them at home. A very pretty
touch could be given if the girls who
wait on the tables would dress in the
costume of the chocolate girl who ap-
pears on the tins Of chocolate in the
stores. The dress is simple-a full
skirt, a white kerchief folded over the
shoulders, a full apron and a white
cap. The costumes need not be made
for the occasion, but may be devised
from the clothes on hand, or, if you
prefer to make it, cheap material may
be used, and the cut is SO simple that
it will be little trouble to make.

KNEW ONLY ONE BAR.
Cornwall Irishman's misunderstanding
Quite Natural.

Conviviat Irishman's misunderstanding
Quite Natural.
A Cincinnati man was describing
the dinner in London that admitted
Joseph H. Choate to the society Of the
Old Benchers of the Inner Temple.
"Mr. Choate was in his best mood"
he said. with epigrams, witticisms,
and anecdotes he kept the table In a
continuous roar.
Perhaps he made his most telling
impression with a story about an I'M
poverished young Irish gentleman, the
Honorable Denis Bellew.
HE said that Mr.. Bellew, driven
forth by poverty from his fathers es-
tate, went to London to seek his for
tune.
"He had been a gay, convivial blade,
and in the little home village he was
missed. There was not a poacher
nor a roisterer within ten miles that
hadn't a soft spot for Denis in his
heart.
Word one day passed about that up
at the castle news had been received
of Denis. The village at once became
excited, and a deputation of a half doz'
en- or so was soon on it's way to see
the old lord.
"'My lord,' said the spokesman, lis
1T true we've gotten news O. yer son
Denis?'
"tAye, true enough. News at last,
boys said his 1ordship.
"'Faith, then, an phwat might the
bhoy be doin' up in London" wal
the next question.
"'He has been called to the bar.
the lord answered proudly.
1.-THE deputation looked at n an
other, for the phrase was new to
them. Finally, in a loud whisper, one
said:
col don't know what thot names;
but from what OF remember of the
bhoy, he didn't want no callin'.'"-

An Orintnal Idea


The orator once was the man who
claimed
Rewards from the people who vote;
The sound of his voice oped the portals
of fame
And his sayings the children would
quote.
But epigrams grew so abundant at last
That a man tried a different way,
He took his opinions and locked 'em up
fast
And said he had nothing to say.
The throng ever tickle, knocks at his
door.
Photographers furtively peek
Through his transom. Impatient we ask
Ger and Ger
When the %oracle's going to speak,
IT'S strange that the simplest and easiest
scheme
Is often the one hat will pay,
We're aStonished. For not until now did
we dream
That a man could have nothing to say.
