HAS HUMAN ADVERTISING CARE
Chicagoan Has Found Novel Way to
Increase Business.

A young and energetic coal nler-
chant of the northwest side has in
vented new way to advertise his
business. 1t is probably the most
modern one of its kind, and to say the
least, it. is attractive to the eye-cs-
pecially to those Of the masculine per-
suasion.
His invention is petite brunette
OF nineteen summers, as pretty as a
fairy queen, and the only fear Of the
coal merchant is that some of his Gus
charms, will marry her and take her
away before he can amass a fortune
at the coal business by having her in
the office as drawing card
This young man is the employer Of
the human advertising card' and the
cwner Of the fuel store said that he
concluded previous to buying the
place that the only thing that would
draw trade would be a beautiful young
girl in the Office whose sole duties
we're to sit in front of the window and
look happy. But her orders upon
starting at her newly appointod posts
ton were these: do not f1irt; sit
and look wise"
This is all the young woman has to
do all day, as the energetic young
coal merchant attends to all the Office
duties. Of course, there is no danger
OF the employer becoming infatuated
with his help. Several sign painters
have called at the place demanding
that she join their union, alleging for
q reason that her presence in the Of
fee does away with the necessity of
lettering the windows. - Chicago

Chances Galore for the Bow.

The boy Of to-day has little to fear
that the field is becoming overcrowd-
ed IN our own country. 1t is Just be-
ing opened. 1t is for the young men
sWho are just beginning to think what
wonderful world this is, to study
we'll the achievements of the past and
to see in what manner they are to be
improved. Never Gid the world call
more loudly, more insistently, for
young men with force, energy and
purpose-young men trained to do
some one thing-than today. And
every year that cry grows louder.
more insistent. But the times de-
mand men of large, liberal, energetic
minds, and the man who insist on do
ing business in the old-fashioned. hmm.

cession as is the man who insists IN

bags OF oil overheard to calm the

The chances appeared very much
against us at one time The seas
broke over the bow, sweeping the
decks fore and aft. Everything had

And so these men, who like all men

their lives, have come home to await
the time when they must risk them
once more.

ROUNDUP OF WILD HORSES.

Range In State of Washington to
he Cleared of Grass Consumers.
One OF the most exciting chases, IL it
may be so called, that has taken place
since the era Of the grand buffalo hunt
ended on the great plateau, is the pro-
posed round up of $4,000 wild horses In
Douglas County, Washington. AS sched-
uled, 400 cowboys will take part in the
ride after these wild creatures of the
range. The purpose is to rid the range
of this great band of grass consumers
and the effort, presumably, will be to
dispatch rather than capture the horses.
These untamed and practically I'M
tamable animals are the product of ma
ture left to itself on the great range for
thirty years. The stock Is interbred
and. of course, underlined, and has no
place in the economy Of civilized life.
While it's determination will be a gain
to the legitimate stock breeding and
raising interests of the section over
which the horses have so long roamed
at will. the instincts of humanity are
shocked at the cruelties that will be in
fiicted through the means by which this
purpose is to be accomplished.
Perhaps this is the best that can I've
done at this stage Of affairs to riI u
wide section of the country of ver;ta-
BILE pest to the stock industry. Like
many other scourges, the remedy for
this plague of wild horses lays in pre-
.ventiOn. The careless settlers of thirty
years ago who allowed their ponies to
run uncared for on the range year after
year were culpable in this matter. The
result has been multiplication Of un-
profitable animals that have eaten out
the grass on the range for years to the
detriment of the interests of leglti-
mate stock industry. Now comes the
necessity of repairing the consequences
of the settlers carelessness and a
roundup" looking to the determination
of thousands Of these wild creatures.
with such cruelties as will be necessary
to accomplish that end. The chase will
be an exciting one, no doubt, and the
ultimate result will be beneficial.

During the doctors visit that after
aoon, he turned the conversation to
the subject OF poor cooking and talked
Of the diseases brought on by ignorance
Of the kind Of food to eat and how It
should be prepared, till John Carew be-
gan to wonder II his sisters attitude
was caused by lack Of good victuals.
Mrs. Carew mentally reviewed the bill
IF fare that had appeared for the past
months, and determined to keep sharp
lookout on the cook from that time
forward, but presently both realized
why the doctor spoke as he did.

MILITARY SPIRIT OF NATION

Out of 1t,

Out Of 1t.
This country has never been and will
never be military nation; as a peo-
pie we can never cultivate military
spirit, and that fact is b eur credit

do so Is as ill-advised as It IS futile
Respect for the army we can and
should have, and due regard for It's
share in promoting the stability OF
peace and prosperity. But Inside th
army itself there should be. emphatic
ally, an "army spirit" There Is not
much now at least not IN the degree
advisable for the improvement Of the
army as a whole and the prevention Oh
