this mental size-up of his environment,
 and as arose to shake hands with
 him I took visual snapshot of his face.
 In it I saw sincerity, honesty and pluck.
 It is the face of q man who will grapple
 with difficulty and fight at catchweights
 with obstacles.
 The First Requisite.

 said, after the formalities. MT. Murphy smiled. I'- would like 10 know it myself" he said "Iv been in search of 1t for years. Oh yes I have been fairly successful,
 but I am not satisfied. 1 have my ideals.
 Suppose" he said quickly "I turn the ta- bles and question you. What Is the hrst
 requisite of q nad-writer2'
 "A sense of proportion" I replied after
 moments thought
 "Not a bad answer" said Mir. Mur-
 phy. "Yes; an ad-writer must know the relative values of men and things. He must also have the sense of physical
 proportion-that is. he must be able to lay of his space to the best advantage;
 know how to balance his lines, where to work in his cuts, and all that sort of
 thing. What next?'
 Must Know Human Nature. "A knowledge of human nature" l ventured
 Yes but that knowledge must be sympathetic rather than purely intel ectual The ideal adwrter has an in- stinetive insight into the likes and dis
 likes of all sorts and conditions of men, women and children. He must be quick to recognize the shifting moods of the public which is to say. he must have
 the instinct of the angler. An ad which
 is a epuler' today may be nothing less than a searecrow tomorrow. That is rather an extreme illustration, how ever"
 Do you believe in the use of topics
 of public interest in ads?"
 "To limited extent, always barring
 those which concern politics or religion" Sentiment Has Its Place. 'Ts there any room for sentiment in ad-wrting?"
 "A great deal All women have senti- | ment, and few men are without trace of it, at least Sentiment centers in the
 home. Seven-eights of the articles ad- vertised go into the home" Are the mechanical difficulties in ad- | writing great2' I pursued That depends" replied MT Murphy. | "One who Is ignorant of typesetting and | the other details of the printing busi- ness has much to learn and unlearn. am a practical printer, so the mechanics | or the a0 uO nOl peIpleN ilts iotHb iei. low-craft also helps me in my relations I with the compositor and the foreman" !" What style should an ad-writer culti- I vate?"

The Truths the Thing. Are circus advertisements good models | to study?"
 T am rather glad you asked me that, l" l replied Mir Murphy.
 "No; they are not They are too fam I bouyant; they exaggerate too much. They are all right for circuses, because the publlc's imagination of a circus is | elactie in all directions. But that sort

Senator TiIlman Better.

Senator Tillman of South Carolina has sufficiently improved in health to return to his home from the Philadelphia sani- tarium where he has been under treat ment. The Senator has had mild att tacks of partial paralysis, resulting from an affected nerve near the eye, the trou- ble being originally caused by grip. He will not he able to resume his place in the Senate at this session, but it is ex- pected that he will be in his usual good health when Congress meets again. Few Senators are more missed on the floor than the picturesque South Carolinian.

F'lem- ing, of Georgia. general southeastern agent of the Armour car lines, concern ing the methods of handling fruits and vegetables within his territory which comprises Georgia, the Carolinas, Flori- da, Maryland and Delaware. MT. Urion maintained, in substance, that Congress had no more jurisdiction over the placing of ice in the bunkers of refrigerator cars at various local points than 1t had
 over the placing of coal in the tenders of the engine. He insisted 1t was the character of the service, not the char acter of the carrier, which determined the jurisdiction of Congress and not the fact that the car was passing from state to state. He quoted numerous decisions

GREW THE WRONG WAY

Out in the West oysters are more
often seen in cans than in shells, says
the Cleveland Plain Dealer. An eco
nomical housekeeper conceived the
brilliant idea of making one set OF
half shells" serve for a second meal
She gave one dinner and had anOth-
er on for the next night. She had oys-
ters on the half shell at the first din
ner. and she just ordered the cook to
save the shells She purchased oysters
in the bulk and gave orders for them
to be placed in the shells and served
as the others had been the night be-
fore.
1t happened that little cousin Johnny
was at the seaside last summer and
was an oyster expert in a small way
When the dishes were served he looked
at the oysters before him in a quizzical
lnanner for a few minutes. and then
&lid. in a loud. shrill voice:
EWhy mamma, look what funny
oyAers. All of mine grow the wrong
way&l the shells"

POSITIVE PROOF THAT
THE LETTER WAS LYING

Fifty years ago, says London It'd
Bits, when the Beers were endeavoring
to cOlOnize certain parts of the Trans
vaal. they found that. while the kaffir
was willing enough to work for them,
he showed a great propensity for
cheating or stealing from his master
when an opportunity occurred.
I'VE had constantly to fight this diff
ficulty in great ways and small" says
the late Mr.. Kruger in his memoirs,
land the contest sometimes had it's hu-
morous side. For instance, one New
Years day 1 sent a kaffir from my farm
to fetch some raisins. My mother sent
so in note, which the kaffir conscien-
tiously delivered.
But the letter was a proof that the
kaffir had robbed me, for the raisins
which he brought weighed much less
than the quantity mentioned in the
note. | asked him what he meant by
trying to cheat me. and why he had
eaten nearly all the raisins.
1.-The letter tells me- 1 said. that
there were a great many more than you
brought me-
"'Baas, he replied, the letter lies,
for how could it have seen me eat the
raisins? Why. put it behind a big
rock under a stone. and then sat down
raisins'"

SHE ALREADY HAD A FELLOW

a story is told of a shock received
by a pastor, not of Ocala, after servic-
es the other evening. He makes it a
point to welcome strangers cordially.
and that evening he hurried down the
aisle to station himself at the door. A
Swedish girl was one of the strangers
in the congregation. She was en-
ployed as a domestic in the home of a
family living near the church, and the
minister extended his hand and babe
her welcome. He expressed a hope
that she would become a regular at
tendant, and finally said that if she
would be at home some evening during
the week he would call.
Tank YOU" she answered. bashful-
ly, but I alretty have a Teller
And the worst of it was that about a
third of the congregation heard the am

cARELEssNEss OF MOTHERS.

A member of the Mothers Union sends the following with request to publish:
 What can be dearer to a mothers heart than her baby! Yet how often are these same mothers guilty of gross carelessness with the health, aye the very lives of the little ones entrusted to their care.
 An instance of this kind was brought to the notice of the Mothers Union," at one of its recent meetings, the mem bers present determined to bring the matter to the notice of as many moth CTS as they could reach.
 It seems that many of the nurses of the little ones are allowed to take their charges where they please and no questions are asked where the time has been spent. Darkies as a rule have a morbid curiosity when they learn of the illness of one of their color, and do not stop to consider how dangerous 1t is to take their charges into the sick room. We read every week of the many cases of tuberculosis, among the colored race here In our lcity Would you not be mortified to | learn that your baby had been taken | into the room of one of these patients, where there was infection, no ventila- tion and certainly not much cleanli- ness. Yet such has been the case re- peated over and over again. A certain lady. a devoted friend Of "the babies," was an eye witness on
 more than one occasion, of scenes of | this character, and 1t was through her information the Mothers Union was made aware of this state of affairs and
