Running" a store, or a business
enterprise, without advertising
will keep you busy-but you
won't ARRIVE anywhere!
"Sand-stair" methods of adver-
Using may be pretty to look at
but they won't bear your weight
they crumble at the first pres
sure.
When you are tired of illusions
and ready for realities, you will
break yourself of the sand
stairs" maitland rely upon the
good old-fashioned "way-up" in
business-a campaign Of news
paper advertising. "Sand-stairs"
are related to real stairs as
"other stairs" of advertising are
related to newspaper advertise
ing.
The Evening Times is the news
paper that is being eagerly read
by thousands Of people who pay
for it at the rate Of $500 per
year. 1t is adding from so to
100 names day to its subscrip-
ton list. The Evening Times is
death to shame and hypocracy
In all walks of life; 1t tells the
truth and gives reliable news
and the people have confidence
In 1t. 1t Is therefore the best ad-
vertising medium in North Da-
kota. Try its advertising COL
umns and be convinced.

NAMES LIVE, DEEDS A MEMORY
Famous People Hidden in Articles Of
Food and Wear.

Food and Wear.
Many great people have their names
perpetuated in the mouths of the vul-
gar aud historically ignorant by means
of articles of food or Of wear. Per-
sons who dine in restaurants have or
dered Nesselrode pudding many times.
but not one in THOUSAND knows who
Nesselrode was. Yet Nesselrode was
Russia's greatest statesman in the first
part of the nineteenth century and was
as well known to the world then as
Witte is now. He lived in stirring
times and was a power in Europe.
When he concluded the Peace of Paris
in 1856 he imagined-and had a right
to-that he would never be forgotten.
And he is not, for a French cook on
that occasion invented a new dessert
and named it after him. The achieve
ments of the great Chancellor are for
gotten and his name narrowed down
to the confines of small, sweet pud-
ding.
The charlotte russo is another effort
of French cookery to perpetuate Rus
sian greatness. Poor Charlotte of
Russial How the naughty Princess
would squirm in her grave if she
knew she was remembered only by a
piece of spong cake and dab Of
whipped cream!
Once in a while you see on a bill of
fare fish "a la Vatel." Vatel was the
master chef Of his day and served
the great Conde. One cay, when the
Prince was to give a dinner to the
King, the fish did not arrive in time,
which so distressed Vatel that he COM
mitted suicide. But they served the
fish all right-when it came-the sec
ond COOK dressing it up in a new way
and naming it after his deceased chief.
And so on. The list NJ ght be extended
indefinitely. On almost Y bill of fare
will be seen some dish, the name of
which has a history.
Skipping from eatables to wearing
apparel, everybody knows that knitted
wooden affair, the Cardigan jacket. Yet
how many who wear it ever think #
the gallant general from whom IT
takes its name?
One cay Wellington met Lord
Brougham and said to him: II little
thought that after all your lordship's s
fame and greatness you would go down
to history as the inventor of wagon"
Neither did l." replied Brougham,
'and still less did imagine that after
all your grace's victories, posterity
would only know you as the inventor
of pair of Doots."
In Wellington's case the joke was
hardly a prophecy, but in the case of
Brougham thousands of people knew
the carriage to which he gave a name
who never heard of the Chancellor and
Prime Minister.-New York Press.

STORY OF THE CAMPAIGN.

In January, 1868, General Grant g ar
my in the field consisted of three corns
The thirteenth, General ]. A. McCler-
hand; Fifteenth, General w. II. Sher-
man; Seventeenth, Gen. J. B. McPher-
son. After vainly striving to reach the
nigh ground north of Vicksburg through
some of the minor waterways between
the Mississippi and Yazoo rivers. then
at flood stage, Gen. Grant, March %,
1868, began movement against the
Confederate left flank, below Vieksburg-
at the same time requesting Commodore
Porter to send some of his vessels by and
below the Vicksburg batteries to be ready
for later need.
The salient features of this initial
movement were: The march of the
Union army from Milliken IS Bend TO
the vicinity of Perkins plantation, be-
low Vicksburg and above Grand Gulf
the running of the Vicksburg batteries
by gunboats, transports and barges
April 16 and April %; the lombard
ment of the new Confederate batteries at
Grand Gulf April %; and the crossing
of Gen. Grant 8 army to the Mississippi
shore, at Bruinsburg. April 80 Next
day the first battle of the campaign was
fought four miles west of Port Gibson.
The Confederates, under Gen. John S.
Bowen, were greatly nut numbered; and
after stoutly contesting the field all day.

fronted by stately portico and wide
flight of granite steps. A specially unique
feature is the bronze band which will
! encirele the interior and bear in raised
letters the names of all-both rank al d
| file-who were at the time members of
the 79 Illinois organizations participating
in the campaign. This roster will con-
siderably exceed 10000 names. Iowa
has artistic monuments for each of her
| organizations in place, and will soon
add 49 markers in the shape of bronze
tablets upon granite supports. Her state
memorial "a beautiful granite structure
bearing six bronze panels in relief and
fronted by an equestrian statute) is now
under construction at a cost of $780,
| 600, and viii be dedicated, together with
the monument and markers, November
IA and Is, 1906. The stated cost of
each monument is above the foundation
which is in all cases furnished by the
| United States. The New York, Rhode
Island. Indiana, Michigan and Wiseon-
sin Commissions have selected sites for
their respective State Memorials, and
others will soon follow with both selection
and construction.

Man an Accident.

The great majority of men are acci-
dents. / mean that they are creatures
of circumstances and victims Of en-
vironment. How small indeed must be
the number who set out in life at an
early age to become this, that or
tother and are not switched off TIE
track by just little incident. Some OF
US are switched off early and some
late; nay, some too late. I do not be-
lieve it advisable for man to change
his occupation after he is forty five.
Yet many men do make change, and
for the better, even after fifty or fifty
five. A man should be settled down at
about thirty-three. At that age he is
old enough to have some sense, and
should know pretty well bis bent and
capabilities. Most Of us, however, are
the straws of every wind that blows.
