other time met drummer who said
his line was pupils. What did he mean
by pupils? He meant, ] found. glass

Its Innocent Victim.

pathetic appeal for help TO friend In
England. Two days later he received
Il letter addressed in the friends hand
writing which ON being opened reveal

Deriencing an extraordinary run OF
luck. he not merely retrieved all bis
previous losses, but gained substan-
tial increase into the bargain.
Weary of play, he retired with few
cronies to Ciro's again to celebrate the
occasion. The usually genial NJ. Giro
met him at the door Of his establish,
ment with a food OF reproaches and
upbraidings. The five pound note was
bad. He waved 1t angrily In the
plungers face-mais oui. 1t was false
this five pound note!
The plunger took the guilty "tiver

one Of the sham bank notes issued by
Sir Augustus Harris and bore on its
face an advertisement of the Drury

R.E.POLLOCK GOES.
TO WEST INDIES.
FORMER PENSAcoLIAN Is AS
SIGNED TO IMPORTANT POST
BY WEATHER BUREAU.

The Savannah News of Wednesday
says: Mr.. r. E. Pollock, assistant OBJ
server attached to the United States
Weather Bureau in Savannah, has
been detailed to assume charge of the
observation station in SantO Domingo,
West Indies, during the hurricane sea
son this year.
He will leave Savannah early in
June and will open his new post on
July l. This Office is maintained only
during the turbulent period each year.
1t is regarded as one of the most inn
pOrtant assignments made by the chief
office for the reason that nearly all of
the most destructive storms have their
origin in the tropics, and prompt and
accurate information as to the move
ment of all atmospheric disturbances
in this region are of unquestionable
import to the service, in disseminating
meteorological information.
This is the third year that Mr.. Pol
lock has been returned to this import
tant station, a fact that speaks very
highly for a man so young in years
and experience. It IS evident of the
fact that the service he has rendered
there in the past has been of such a
character as to win not only the conf
Gence. but the admiration of the chief
Of the service who looks to the fitness
of the man in making selections for
positions Of so great responsibility.
Many men in the service have regard
ed it as a mark of appreciation of
their ability to be assigned to this sta
ton even for one season and there are
always on file in the Office of the chief
n Washington scores of requests for
this place.
A distinct advantage which Mr.. Pol
lock has over many of the young men
il the service who aspire to appoint
ment to this station is the fact he
speaks the Spanish language fiuently.
SantO Domingo is a Spanish speaking
republic and Mr.. Pollock is qualified
to issue the local bulletins in the ma
tive tongue.
Mr.. Pollock has been connected with
the Savannah Office most of the time
since he entered the service, when he
was not on duty in the West Indies.
He has numbers of friends here. who,
while they regret to learn he is to be
transferred again, will be pleased to-
know that his superiors have made
recognized his worth and have reward
ed it. Mr.. Edward S. West who is
now stationed at Meridian, Miss, will
ONE here as the successor to Mr.. Pol
lock.

ADVANTAGE OF
USING SMALL
SPACE
Some Coed Features for the
Small Merchant to
Consider.
A correspondent in The Advertising

A correspondent in The Advertising
World says:
Many merchants when asked why
they do not advertise, say that they do
hot see their way clear to use good
sized space, and they consider small
space practically worthless because
they can't say much in it.
Such merchants doubtless look upon
the big ads. of department stores as
the only ads in a paper that pay a
profit on the investment. Yet this
isn't so.
You can pick up almost any news
paper in large town or city of any
SIZE. and see scattered all through ii
little, one and two-inch single-column
ads. We DO not means the Old-fash-
Toned business cards that gave simply
the name Of the advertiser, and all
the line he carried; we mean bright,
catchy ads. that are changed every
day or every other day.
There may be a little cut run with
these ads, or ii may be set in solid
type, with an attractive border; but
somehow they seem to stick out on
the page where they appear, and they
are read by the readers; and. what is
more, they bring results because they
appear week after week and month
after month.
OF course much cannot be saio in
these small ads, but what is said
should be sharp and to the point. AL
most any line Of goods can use these
small ads to advantage.
Stationers can talk about envelopes
one day and the next can tell about
card systems. following with latest
books, post card albums. writing paper
school supplies, etc. ConfectiOners
can tell about chocolates one day,
marshmallows another. day, novelties
another, and so on. Druggists have
an excellent line to exploit in small
ads, taking up prescriptions one time
then the different patent medicines,
ringing in their own products fire.
Quently.
There's hardly q business that could
not use these small ads. with profit.
One inch every day is better, as a rule
than spurts of larger space only once
or twice a week. Make your ads dis
tinctive so that people will see at
glance that il is your ad. This you
can do by type and border effects. 1t
would pay q merchant to buy or have
the publisher by a different font of
type from any other in the paper, and
have your ads set up in this type.
Your ads set up in this type have a
different appearance and it will prove
q good investment for you.
Where two to four inches are used,
it will pay the advertiser to have a
line cut made TO illustrate his ad-
something after the style of Rogers
Poet ads. In this case it would be well
to employ the chatty style OF ads.
Small space pays when care and
thought is put into the preparation of
the copy. just as large space is made
to pay in the same way.

1t is in two forms; No, l that can

who wish to be cured. 1t is not only
the most reliable treatment known,

it costs only $1.0O a rox and there is
