 News Badget of Pen-
 aaeOla.

Pensacola Fla. Dec. 2s.-(Special.)-- Documents and papers bearing upon the case of w. W. Yarn, the wealthy turpentine operator. who is under ar- rest in Fl Paso.

 Yarn is out on bond. Under habeas corpus proceedings Yarn .has obtained his release, claiming that he has not deserted his wife. and that in order to desert her 1t would have been neces- sary for him to have been resident of Florida. when. in fact. he is stating, he was a resident of Alabama when the separation came about. He was given until January 8 in which to pro- duce witnesses to prove that he was a resident of Alabama, and 1t is expected that he will have a number of parties at the hearing from that State.
 The documents and papers forward ed here state that Yarn became a resi- dent of this city year before his mar riaEe. purchased home and was ac- lively engaged in business before and after his marriage.

Attaclked by Negro,

Ats@AC0 " NCkEOs
 Clerk Fred w. Marsh. of the United States Court, while going along West Government Street in his automobile yesterday afternoon. was attacked by a negro, supposed to be drunk, and had a narrow escape from being seriously wounded.
 The negro was standing on tho side- walk in the western suburbs of the city when MT. Marsh passed. The lat ter had gone only a short distance when the negro called to him. Mr. Marsh, thinking the negro had detected some thing wrong with his machine, stopped When the negro reached the machine he made lunge at the clerk with a knife, but the blow fell short and struck the back of the seat. The blade broke and about four inches of 1t was found buried in the cushion later.
 Mir. Marsh struck the negro in the face with his gloved hand and speed ing up his auto left and reported the assault to the police but the man has not yet been detected.

THE DOINGS OF HUSTLER

Hustler had opened up a reaall es-
tablishment some six years previosa 10
the time I write. in a rapidly growing
western city . His success was assur.
ed from the beginning and while II
might have been considered ample
conformation for the investment OF
brain and capital, it's results were no.
80 great as to fully satisfy our frlena
Hustler. He studied every nook ana
corner of his increasing business Tor
points for improvements. His fixtures
were of the latest and richest design;
the appointments for the comforts anu
convenience of patrons were the most
considerate. Splendid show windows
appealed to the passerby and their as
plays of the seasons goods were tns
most artistic that could. be produced
Hustler & Co.'s advertisement IN the
daily newspapers were the talk Of n
town, inasmuch IS they were seeming
" different from their competltofs,
and vet they contained nothing but
absolutely truthful statements. !hey
had a ring of consistency to them.
They had a business-like tone' a busy
air.

4 short tlthB, lt sh5Ws vety

Within 4 short tlms; IL shows very
clearly that you have q product OF
much merit or that your advertising
is particularly good or both, You
should, however, be awake to the prob
ability that considerable time must
elapse before your advertising invest.
ment will begin to pay dividends.
Many a good article has gone wrong
because Its producer did not have
enough money to keep on pushing it
until success came. This is the ques-
ton for forethought an d not for after
thought. It should not be supposed,
though, that the expenditure OF
a large Sum of money cover
ing considerable time Is wasted be-
cause returns are slow. All of this ad-
vertising money-if spent In good ad-
vertising-is simply an investment.
It is q slow investment under the cir
cumstances, but it ia none the less
sure.
The advertising you are doing Is
educational and Its results will come
in time. Every advertisement In q
good medium Is one more public les.
son in your educational campaign. All
the good words you say for your pro.
duct are making an impression on
the public mind and that impression
will in due course of time mean dollars
and cents to you. When the time OF
success arrives all the advertising you
have done will show its cumulative
effect When the public really takes
hold Of your goods 1t will not be the
advertising you are then doing that
brings the results, but the cumulative
effects Of the advertising you have
been doing and which did not at that
time seem to be producing any results
whatever.
The suddenneas with which the
public attitude towards an article
changes Is very surprising. Many a
man marketing an article has gone on
for considerable length of time unable
to get paying results for his advertis-
ing or to induce the public to take him
seriously. He has gone on because he
had the courage of bis convictions and
knew that his article was good and
that his advertising was good. After
q long time and when everything
seemed to look darker than sver the
WuOlc ldCS VI GuS Dltuhtioh SaoAkCo
and from an attitude of absolute indif-
ference the public yeers around and
demands this particular product in
large quantities. The man who keeps
on until this time arrives is the man
who succeeds. The man who gets dis.
couraged and quits very probably
quits Just before the time for bis sue
cess has arrived and all bis work and
bis money are wasted.
This change on the part Of the pub
lie simply shows that all people are
about alike and that 1t takes all people
just about q certain length of time to
make up their minds to do q thing.
1t Is surprising to see them do 1t all
ct once, but when you como to consid-
er it In its true light, 1t ia not 80 re-
msrkable after all.
Every dollar spent in advertising
should be regarded as an investment
and not an expenditure. II you have
the right article and advertise 1t in the
right way, that advertising investment
will turn out all right In the end and
the money will all come back bring
ing much more money with 1t.
