Why She SANG the HYMN

A well-known bishop relates that
he was in a small country town where
owing to the scarcity of good ser
wants, most of the ladies preferred
to do their own work.
He was awakened quite early by
the tones of soprano voice singing
Nearer, MY God, to Thee!" As the
bishop lay in bed he meditated upon
the piety which his hostess must
possess which enabled her to &c
about her task early in the morning
singing such noble hymn.
At breakfast he spoke to her about
it, and told her how pleased he was.
"Oh, law" she replied, that's the
hymn / boil the eggs by; three verses
for soft and five for hard. London

Legislature Votes Prohibition, and
Governor viii Sign Bill.

Montgomery, Ala.-Women filed
the galleries and Hobbies of the State
Senate when the prohibition bill came
up until, by order of Lieut.-Gov.

and they were allowed to mingle with
the members. In the excitement the
Senate passed the bill with two lone
members in the negative, though nine
noes had been expected.
A shout Of approval went up and
the women broke into the "Doxol-
ogy." The refrain was taken up in

section of the building and had
swelled to mighty chorus. Showers
of flowers were rained upon the Sen
ators by the women.
A carload of women came from
Mobile to fight prohibition. In that
city license money supports the
schools. But as the women from
Montgomery, Birmingham and Selma
arrived first the lobby was so crowd
ed that the Mobile contingent could
not get even to the doors. They dis
tributed badges with the words:
Save the schools of Mobile; 5000
women sign petition against prohi-
bition."
AS soon as the speechmaking began
the women cheered every good point
until the galleries and the hall were
in an uproar.
AS passed in the Senate, the bill
makes the State dry on January l.,
1901. AS passed in the House it
would have taken effect on October
L next. 1t appropriates $4,000 year
for the enforcement Of the law by a
special officer.
Gov. Conner will sign the bill and
the House will agree to the amend
ment.

CLANS, is not only the largest living
animal, but the largest that has ever
lived, reaching length of eighty
feet or very rarely a little more.
Whales grow much larger than this
in books and newspaper, but in actual
life not one in dozen even Of this

that it is clumsy animal, but as
shown by models it has the graceful

The GiraHe's Neck.

Lamarck thought that the giraffe
obtained its long neck by transmits
sion of parental stretching to reach
the leaves of trees; and that each new
generation literally "began where the
last left off," say literally, because
the young giraffe was conceived, so
to speak, as continuing at the
branches which its parents could just
reach, and then stretching its neck to
reach leaves inaccessible to the pa
rents, So to say, it began eating
where the parents left off.-Pall Mall

ON PROFITABLE ADVERTISING
Booklet Issued by Local Concern
Gives Words of wisdom on
Subject.

What is Profitable Advertising7'' is the
title of neat, instructive booklet just
issued by Charles r. Ferrall Of Charles
d. Thompson Advertising agency of Omaha.
1t contains moTss ad space to the square
inch than anything of the kind that has
appeared recently. A fair sample of it's
merit is afforded, by the following words
OF wisdom, which make the opening para
graphs:
Profitable advertising is obtaining a maxi
mum of result at a minimum of cost
In other words II Is not enough to merely
have the goods but rather, the ability to
place them before the public in an at
tractive way-the way that sells them. An
old proVerb says, Zone good dog can drive
a whole flock of sheep" A dozen poor
dogs could not 80 1t is with your ad-
vertising. One good advertisement will
draw a large flock of results, and poor
one Is worse than none. 1t may be that
the copy is weak; It may be a poor selec-
ton OF mediums in which it Is placed
those without pulling power; 1t may be
poor type work, or any one OF a dozen
things. for the advertiser to hnd the cause
by experience is both waste OF time and
money.
Advertising pleasing to the eye and COM
bined with common sense talk is the kind
that brings results and enlarges sales.
