~SteveDson's Crave

No English novelist rests In a more
eccentric spot than that chosen by
Robert Louis Stevenson, who Is buried
on the summit Of the forest clad Nalla,
in the island OF Samoa. The day after
his death at Nailima, In 1894. his re-
mains were carried to the top Of this
precipitous and picturesque peak by
sixty sturdy Samoans, who had loved
and now mourned their dead chief.
Tusitula. A party Of forty had pre-
viously cut a pathway through the
thick, tangled wood with knives and
axes, while another party had pre-
pared the grave. With infinite care
and trouble they bore him shoulder
high over the rough ground to his last
long home, and there, under the starry
sky, they left him to sleep forever, with
the Pacific az his feet. On either side
Of his tombstone Is q bronze plate.
One bears the words, THE Tomb OF
Tusitula," while the other Is inscribed
with his own requiem, beginning:
Under the wide and starry sky
Dig the grave and let me lie.

The Price,

If one sets ones heart on the ex-
ceptional, the far of-on riches, on
fame, on pOwer-the chances are he
will be disappointed. He will waste
his time seeking a short cut TO these
things. There is no short cut. For
anything worth having one must pay
the price, and the price is always work,
patience, love, self sacrifce-no prom
Use to pay, but the gold of real service.

An editor Of a western exchange re-

What the Morning Jour
nal Does for Advertisers
and How 1t Does 1t.

Advertising in the Morning Journal has a far broader, deeper,
more satisfactory meaning than in any other New Mexico
newspaper.
It is synonymous with conscientious, painstaking, result
producing service. Sevce-mark you-for when a Morn
ing Journal solicitor is sent for he represents an organization
that will help you plan a campaign, write, illustrate, and set all
advertiSements-an organization that will see that your ad-
vertisements are placed in suitable postonS--that, in
short, viii help you in every way to make your advertising a
mighty factor in making money for you.
When your advertisement is inserted in the Morning Journal
halt OF the work is done. The seed of success is sown. And
ii goes into a fertile fed-the most representative homes OF
Albuquerque and vcnty-homes where the Morning Jour-
nal is so popular that il has a circulation in excess Of the
combined daIeS of New Mexico.
II you are not advertising in the Morning Journal, you are
L0SING-not saving-money.
Morning Journal advertising is good for your competitors.
and it would be good for you.
Don't arguel
Don't infer!
Try it!
