Of publicity and repelling all plans

lare the rocks upon which many a
dealer has foundered, and upon which
many business enterprises, auspicious-
ly inaugurated, have wrecked them
Selves"
A real estate broker, an authority in
the country, makes this comment. and
follows it up with a lot OF good advice
to his associates and a big measure Of
praise for the newspapers.
''The newspaper is the natural ad-
ivertising medium for real estate men.
and 1t is we'll known that some news
papers are not exorbitant in their ad-
lvertising rates." said he
ITO some who have concluded with
out investigation or observation that
advertising is not really essential to
business success, il may occur that
papers ask too much for space" he
continued "but to the man who has
had experience in advertising at all
their moderation in price for space is
Recognized.
During the hot summer months is
good time to think OF advertising"
said he. "to reflect upon what has been
done and to plan for the future. In
all lines there are times when business
! is just a little slack and time is al
lowed one to do this very necessary
mental work. The work Of advertis-
ing has been made by many retail
dealers the keystone in their business
career. Years ago these same dealers
were content to establish an office.

/ ed. Competitors came in as a conse-
quence Of this system, and these deal
ers have been obliged to wage a busi-
ness contest for the trade Of their To-
cality and in casting about for some
thing to strike the bulls eye naturally
turned TO advertising.
"The business world to-day pays no
man greater homage than is accorded
the one who gets business. mans out
the route to new fields and creates
channels by which the gold finds its
way to the strong box Of the firm.
He is the man who hits the bulls

one should know that IL months
advertising brings him an increased
trade. that a. years advertising will
increase this many fold. 1t is foolish
10 think that a moments splurge will
put you forever TO the good. You hit
the bulls eye once and then drop your
weapon. In this day and age people
are looking for the place where they
can buy what they want for the least
money. They do not take this notion
in any one certain month in the year.
but this is true OF every one of the
twelve months In the year. II you

steady and constant nunt that gives
one the opportunity to hit the bulls

ASSESSMENT OF PROPERTY

City Council will hold special meet
ing this evening to consider the bill
before the Legislature regarding an as
sessment board for the city, City Soil
citor Townsend having prepared the
measure. which provides for the board
to fix a valuation on property. Strong
opposition viii be used against the bill
as the creation of the board means ad-
ditional expense and many believe that
the present manner Of assessing prop
erty is good enough. Others say that
by means Of an assessment board a
better equalization Of values will be
reached and that the tax rate can be
lowered as the values will be increased
in instances where properties are not
assessed or where the assessment is
too low. There is likely TO be an in
teresting time at the meeting this
evening.

SAY TELEPHONE
Bell People Discourage Use of Abbrs-
Waited Word.

All OF the Bell Telephone Companies

" no have been in the telephone busl-
ness any length Of time never use the
word phone" for they consider II AZ
Objectionable substitute The hun
dreds of people who enter the employ
Of the Bell companies use the al
breviation, but after association with
the other employees they easily over
come the habit
In many cases advertisers have
been requested to have their advertise
ments read Telephone No. s99" instead
OF Phone No. 999" and many news
papers have also been reminded OF the
use. OF the substitute word.
The telephone officials realize that
the American people want everything
brief. but insofar as they may court
eously do so, they will discourage the
use OF the word '.ahona"

Sunday Laws Of Australia.

=
/ Melbourne, Australia, has some laws
which are wonders. One Of them pro-
hibits the opening of any cafe on Sun
day before IL O'clock in the morning,
and the unwary American who may
not know this finds himself suddenly
high and dry without a thing to eat
till II. So he soon learns, IL he's in
lodgings, to sleep till Ii and then for
Eage forth. s5
Another nice thing that contributes
to the hilarity Of the Sundays here
and the gayety Of nations generally
is that there are no street cars running
till after 2 O'clock on Sundays. An
I the steam roads bring thousands of
people into the city, but they have to
walk once they are inside the city
1 limits. ss
[ And IL you buy bakers cakes and
piles to be taken away from the prem
ises yosl may only buy them between
and Sunday afternoons. And you
may not invite friends to dinner with
you in Sydney, which is in New South
Wales and under different Jurisdiction,
IL you are living In a hotel, because
In some mysterious way, which is moi
lat all clear, you are breaking the Sun.

HAMLET's TOMB.
The Memorial at Elsinore Is a Stand
ing Joke.

The Memorial at Elsinore Is Stand
ing Joke.
The English pressmen travelling in I
Denmark have been taken to Elsinore. |
They looked in vain for its wild and !
stormy steep,'' as for the battlement !
where a famous ghost appeared, It is
not that these poetic scenes have van
ished They never were extant On
the other hand, says the Pail Mall GA
zette, our confreres saw the tomb of
Hamlet This must have consoled
them unless they were SO injudicious
as to ask questions, and for most it
had the charm of surprise also. That
Hamlet was buried under cross of
stone in the public garden Of Marien-
lyst ranks among things not generally
known. But there's no doubt about it
for guileless persons who believe the
evidence of their own eyes. IF the
cross is broken and the inscription
nearly effaced, those effects of age go
to prove its authenticity. II proof can
be needed. The record of the year
also is lost, but we still trace the day
Of the month, Oct. 80, which harmo-
nizes with the well known eccentrftSty
of the deceased In a very pleasing
manner. 5
Some worthy souls, Danish as English,
Indignantly protest against this stand
| ing joke, perpetIated or at least sane
toned by the municipal authorities.
But the wise know that the vulgar per-
son loves to be deceived, and In char
! ity they conclude cipiaturi No harm
comes of the jest and some easy laugh
ter. Hans Andersen, who told 50 many
fables, left an account of this. He
went to school at Elsinore In the TWEEN
ties and thirties of the last century.
The precious tomb had not been in-
vented or thought OF then. But at this
4 port the famous sound dues were col
Ilected, and every vessel had to stop
at Elsinore. They were British most
]ly, and shippers, passengers, even
4 crew, says Hans Andersen, pestered
/ the inhabitants with questions about
Hamlet, prince Of Denmark There
i was and is small barrow in the gar
den of a handsome villa just outside
the town. Some humorist told the In
quiring Britons that this was Ham
let's grave. They streamed thitber
daily, and the householder, a mer-
chant, dared not be rude to his best
clients. But the persecution became
unbearable, and at length he conceived
i the happy thought of setting up real
tomb, with an epitaph, on bit Of
/ waste land in the neighborhood The
diversion answered perfectly. After
ward this waste land was included in
| the public garden of Marienlyst.
