Mark Twain ON Advertising.

Mark Twain In the midst Of pane
gyrIc on advertising told a remarkable
story.
There was man." he said, back
Iowa way who was so pleased with an
advertisement In the local paper that
he wrote the following testimonial let
ter to the editor;
"'Mr. Editor Sir-After selling all
could, giving barrels away, stutfing
my hogs till they would eat no more
/ still had last fall about 200 tons OF
big. juicy. fine favored apples left oil
my hands. inserted In your valuable
paper an al. that was willing 10 send
free barrel Of picked fruit, freight
paid In advance by me, to any one who
would apply, there being, of course, NJ
charge for the barrel. You will hardly
credit 1t. but that little 40-cent ad
cleared out my whole stock Of apples
and l could have disposed of ive timei
the quantity on the same terms"

ROUNDUP OF WILD HORSES.

Range I'm State of washinxton to
BE Cleared of Grass Consumers.
One of the most exciting chases, IL 1t
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 un-
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 its 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 viii, the instincts of humanity are
shocked at the cruelties that will be In
hicted through the means by which this
purpose is to be accomplished.
Perhaps this is the best that can be
done at this stage of affairs to rid q
wide section of the country Of a verita-
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 legiti
mate stock industry. Now comes the
necessity of repairing the consequences
of the settlers carelessness and q
roundup" looking to the determination
of thousands Of these wild creatures
with such cruelties as will be necessary
to accomplish that end. The chase viii
be an exciting one, no doubt, and th,
ultimate result will be beneficial.

Addison, in one Of his "Sir Roger De
Coverly" sketches, says: "A mans first
care should be to avoid the reproaches
of his own heart; his next to escape
the censures of the world; II the last
interferes with the former It ought to
be entirely neglected. II we may judge
from experience and from the sights
and sounds around US, this Is scarcely
the principle which directs the conduct
OF many Of us. And yet there Is an
immense amount of practical common
sense wisdom in Addison's dictum, fol-
In avoiding the reproaches Of his owl
heart a man Is taking the surest steg
toward the highest good-happlness.

Persons who travel are aware that
the cake Of soap for promlscuous use
has been growing less common In the
wash rooms Of hotels. and In New York
and some other large cities has almost
disappeared. Devices by which small
portion of pulyerized or liquid soap Is
deposited in the hand have largely su-
perseded the cake OF soap. The reason
Is the readiness with which soap re-
ceives and retains the germs OF disease.
Physicians who tested cakes Of soap
from various New York hotels found
filth and disease bacteria In nearly ev-
cry sample-in those from the highest
priced and most fashionable hotels. as
well as those from the cheaper ones.

Prof. T.. III. Bailey, director Of the
Cornell University's agricultural de-
partment, has been discussing the ques-
tlon of the cityward drift of farm boys.
especially of boys who 60 to college,
and his views are hopeful and encour-
aging He is certain that in the near
future there will be an excellent under
standing and cordial cooperation be-
tween the farm and the college, not
withstanding certain present tendencies
which he regrets. An Identical letter OF
inquiry to Cornell students born and
brought Prof. Bailey interesting data,
which he summarizes In the Century.
One hundred and fifty-five students ad-
mitted that they were leaving the farm,
and gave their reasons for the decision.
These reasons are grouped under four
heads, as follows Financial rewards,
physical labor, social and intellectual
interests, miscellaneous difficulties and
handlcaps on the farm. Many Of the
students thought the farmer had no op-
pcrtunity either for political distinction
or for social, humanitarian service. Elf
teen expected to return to the farm IN
the course of time, after successful
career In the city in business or the pro
fessions. Prof. Bailey Is not surprised
at the fascination exercised by the
great cities, with their wealth, their In
tense life, their Infinite variety, their
social and political organizations, theil
amusements and artistic and intellec
tual attractions. But he believes that 0

the magic influence Of his contagious
geniality cares and worries. which
seemed so heavy, become light as air
and mere cause of smiles. One with a
sunny, hopeful, humorous nature Is like
a physician during a plague. 1t is not
possible of course, for everybody to be
witty or humorous. 1t Is just as rea-
,,sonable to counsel people to be poets
or to be beautiful as to urge them to
be wits or humorists. Wits and hui
morists are born, not made, and there
IA hardly anything more melancholy
than the person without any sense of
humor or a grain of wit vainly striving
to win applause and -dulling the edge
of patience. Franklin said that no
fools are so Troublesome as those who
have wit, and those who with unsea-
sonable jests make light Of serious and
sacred things. II we cannot all add to
the fund Of good humor by "lambent
flashes" Of wit and the beautiful, gra-
cious charm of an Oliver Goldsmith or
Mark Twain, 1t 10 nevertheless with
! in the power of all to take cheerful
view Of things and to cultivate our own
good humor. Our temperaments are
made for us, but our habits are of our
own making And good humor and
cheerfulness are largely habits. A
cheerful frame of mind comes with a
desire aud determination to be cheer
full and the habit like all other habits,
grows with time and use. Whoever
cultivates the cheerful habit will find
his reward in his own happiness, which
will grow as he perceives how much
his cheerfulness aud good humor add
to the happiness of others.

APARTMENT HOUSE
CHARLES L. GAY TO PUT uP HAND-
 SOME BUILDING.
Excavation Work Begins for a S30,0OO Structure at the Corner of Clay
 t0n and HoIcombe Streets.

Excavation was begun yesterday on the vacant lot at the southwest corner of Clayton and Holcombe Streets pre- liminary to the construction of a handsome three-story brick apartment house for Charles l.. Gay.
 The beautifully located lot at this corner has been vacant since about three years ago when the owner. MT. Gay, had a one-story residence remov- ed from the corner to the rear of the lot. Owing to it's fine location the lot was regarded as very valuable and MT. Gay rGecently decided to improve 1t.
 The contract for building the apart ment house has been awarded to Hug ger Brothers, and 1t is to be completed and ready for occupancy on october 1st.
 It is understood that the Guiding will cost about $30,000. 1t is to be constructed of pressed brick and stone and will have forty-five rooms. The building will be modern in every re- spect and will be equipped with steam heat. modern lighting and other con- veniences.
 There will be entrances on both streets. l~
 Tn addition to the three-stories above ground there will be wide and com modious basement.
 Tho excavation work will be pushed and within few weeks the construc- tion of the building proper will begin.

SITE FOR THE FAIR
DECISION MAY BE REACHED THIS
 AFTERNOON.
Hoard Of Directors Of Agricultural As-
 sOeiafiOn Is To Consider Report On Matter From It's C0unuafffaA.

The site for the big State Fair which IS to be held in Montgomery October 22 to 27, by the Alabama Agricultural Association, will probably be decided upon this afternoon.
 After having had a week in which the different properties offered to the Association have been thoroughly gone over and investigated, the committee is now thought to be ready to combine on an opinion as to the most desirable place on which to hold the event, and this afternoons meeting is expected to decide the matter.
 While the authority of the commit tee in the matter, does not extend beyond the rights to recommend it's choice to the Board of Directors, 1t is not expected, that, once this recom- mendation is rendered, there will be any opposition from the executive body. The recommendation of those who have gone carefully over the ground Is expected to have sufficient weight to be accepted without serious question.
 It is expected that a meeting of tho Board of Directors will be held at the headquarters of the Association, 40 I-2 Commerce street. late this afternoon to pass upon the decision reached by the committee. While 1t is probable that other matters will also occupy the attention of the Board, the report of the committee will be the principal business to come before it, as the pur- chase of the land and the beginning of preparations necessary before the grounds will be in shape for the Fair. is regarded as of the most pressing ne- cessity.

sketch Is identlcally the same as his air ship sketch with one of two minor variations. It was funny a year ago. It was tiresome yesterday. NeiIl OBrien had his usual sketch. This year he was floor walker in a de- pertinent store. If O'Brlen had not done so many much better things. his skit of last night might have been a hit but his work was along the same old lines although it was not near up to his standard. Mat keefe modelled exactly the same songs he has modelled for the past five years, and the dancers went through the same formations they have gone through since Dock stader has been playing the South.
 The concluding sketch was lament ably weak and number of people in the audience seemed offended by the paradIng of a negro infant throughout this act. 1he truth of the business is -Dockstader has an of year, but any good man has this and for his past great performances and his future good ones, the fat and saucy Lew should be pardoned.
 The stage settings were gorgeous, the first part being particularly so. James B. Bradley sang Colleen Bawn" an Irish military ballard in rather good style, while William H. Thompson's. B. "When the Golden Corn is waving'' was one Of the best things of the even ing. The talented Manuel Romaine probably the best minstrel tenor pleased as usual and Matt Aeere's yodels as usual ellcited applause.
 Neil O'Brien did himself proud with his Just Because She Had Dat Win ming Way and his original encore Never No More," called for repetition after repetition.
 Lew Dockstader closed the first part with "Evefybody Works But Father" which was poorly and 'Uncle's Quit Work Too" which Is but a poor suc- 'cessor to the orIglnal song.
 The olio had one good feature. There were no acrobatic acts and some of the chorus singing was good. Otherwise, 1t is best to pass the olio without com ment.
