KNEW WHAT HE WANTED.
Astute Yankee Made Money by Wear
ing Queer Pair of Trousers.

A Massachusetts, man tells a story
of "Old John" Langley, a veteran Wor-
cester horseman, that is illustrative of
Yankee astuteness.
One day Langley sought his tailor
and in somewhat p~rofane terms de-
manded "a pair of breeches of the best
stuff in the shop" OF the many sam
pies submitted "Old John" hit upon a
beautiful silky broadcloth, the most
costly piece of goods the tailor had,
and, although this was most unsuitable
for the purpose, Langley insisted that
it was just what he wanted. Further
more, he declared that he desired it
made up wrong side out"
The tailor eXpostulated in vain, but
the trousers were made as per specif-
cations, and delivered.
A day or so thereafter a friend, call
ing on Langley, remarked OIL the trou-
sers in uncomplimentary language.
Langley said he was satisfied. More
guying resulted in an offer from "Old
John" to bet $50 that the cloth cost
more per yard than that in his friends
trousers. The bet was taken and the
tailor wait to decide it. He named the
price. The friend would not believe
that the rough goods could be so costly
until he was shown the shiny silky
side. Then he paid, as other men had
on similar bets, so that "Old John"
reaped quite a harvest on his original
idea.

While the United States is worrying
over the Chinese boycott and the Sc.

so great an extent. The fact hal you
have suffered for years from ailments

is no reason why you should continue
to suffer. Just get a bottle of Hostel

Those Haunting Notes,

There was a peculiar sound from
the direction of the woods as the mem
Der of the Birdlovers' society sat in
the window of her friends country
home one summer afternoon.
She quickly took her small Bird
Guide" from her ever present bag, and
rapidly turned the leaves. At last she
paused with a smile of satisfaction,
and listened, with her finger between
two leaves of the little book, till the
sound came again.
When it was repeated an expression
of doubt fitted across her features,
but still she was hopeful.
You probably know many of the
bird notes, living so near the woods
and in such a quiet spot" she said to
her friend. Can you tell me what
bird that is?"
That" said her friend, briefly, "is
our goat. We shall have to move him
further of."-Youth's Companion.

justify its employment but the hope
of putting an end to some evil greater

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING
FROM ADVERTISERS ViE'

The author Of the Autobiography OF
a Business Man. in the February Ey,
~erybody's, says:
For a number of years 1 advertised
only in my windows and in some of the
street cars. because l did not feel that
l could AFFORD to advertise in the daily
papers. Two years ago last Septem-
Der l was having a c~ravenette coat
sale, and l succeeded in selling for a
couple of weeks about fifty coat" a day.
l thought / would try & column ad. In
one of the evening papers. The next
day this column ad. appeared in one of
the evening pagers, and by the way, 1t
was not the one that has the largest
circulation in Chicago; l selected the
paper that this ad. appeared in because
they gave my ad. a good position in the
paper. The result was that the next
day the sales, which formerly had been
about fifty coats a day, jumped to 142,
and in fifty days l sold owe $500 rain
coats.
For the year following that sale l
continued to advertise in this n pa
per. Last fall l felt that 1 could af.
ford to invest, say, about $4,000 in ad-
yertising in some of the other papers.
| used three morning papers and three
evening papers, the best in Chicago.
The results have been something
phenomenal. ! did not have to invest
S., 900. The profits came back from
the newspaper advertising before their
bills came in, and L do not figure to-
day hat l have a dollar invested in
advertising. In my opinion the only
way to advertise is to give them plain,
commonsense talk. Tell them the
truth. Do not get a customer to come
to your store and find that you have
faxed him, for that is poor advertls.
