QUEER RAILWAY CAR FITTINGS.
Window With Royal Autographs-
 Train Roofed With Water.

What use is a balloon to railway carriage Few of the latter are So fitted, but there is at least one run ming on a mountain railwayway near Salzburg which has balloon attach ed to it in order to assist 1t up the steepest portions of the line. At the summit a tank below the car is filled with water sufficient to counteract the upward pull of the gas bag, which the vehicle thus drags down with 1t upon the return journey.
 There Is only one car in the world with a window fitted as royal au- tograph album. It is a somewhat an cient railway saloon used in Dem mark for the conveyance of roya. visitors. It has become the custom for these to scratch their names on one of It's panes, which now shows the autographs of King Edward and Queen Alexandra among others in. cluding those of the late czar, the late king of Denmark. the late duke of Clarence and many others.
 Another uniquely fitted railway corriage is that containing the vesti- bule entrance to the train belonging to the German emperor. This yesti- bule holds several fine statues-an innovation which has not been copied elsewhere. though many royal trains carry superb paintings as part of their decorations.
 A car with 8 complete yeranda is another novelty introduced in the train constructed for President Diaz of Mexico, where the drawing room portion Is surrounded by such a fit- ting.
 Very few trains are roofed with water, and that of the yiceroy of In- dia is among the small number that are 60. All the vehicles. eight in number. have double ceilings. which are really water tanks, holding about i've tons of water. This ar rangement contributes toward cool ness and furnishes water for domestic purposes on the train. The train carries sixty personal servants vhen the vieeroy uses it-

The Man Who Retreats
Before His Defeat!
By Herbert kaufman.

element of the black art about it, In its best
and highest form it is plain talk, sane talk
selling talk. Its results are in proportion to
the merit of the subject advertised and the
ability with which the advertising is done.
There are two great enemies to advertis-
ING profit and both of them are caused by
ignorance of the real functions and workings
of publicity.
The one is to advertise promises which
will not be fulfilled, because all that advertis-
ing can do when it accomplishes most is to
influence the reader of your copy to investi-
gate your claims.
If YOU promise the earth and deliver the
moon advertising will not pay you.
If YOU draw men and women to your
store on pretense and fail to make good, adj
vertisng will have harmed you because it has
only drawn attention to the fact that you are
to be avoided.
It is as unjust to charge advertising with
failure under these conditions as it would be
for your neighbor to rob a bank and find your
self indicted for his misdeed. In brief, adver-
tised dishonesty is even more profltless than
unexpected deception.
The other great error in advertising is to
expect more out of advertising than there is in it,
Advertising is seed which merchant
plants in the confidence of the community
He must allow time for it to grow. Every
successful advertiser has to be patient. The
time that it takes to arrive at results rests entirely
with the ability and determination you display
in the effort But you cannot turn back when
you have travelled half way and declare that
the path is wrong.
You can't advertise for week and be-
cause your store isn't crowded say it hasn't
paid you 1t takes certain period to attract
the attention of readers. Everybody doesn't /
see what you print the first time it appears
More will notice your copy the second day, a
great many more at the end of a month.
You cannot expect to win the confidence
of the community to the same degree that other
men have obtained it without taking pretty
much the same length of time that they did.
But you can cut short the period between your
introduction to your reader and his introduce
ton to your counters by spending more effort
in preparing your copy and displaying greater
amount of CONTINGENCIES
You mustn't act like the little girl who /
planted garden and came out the next day
expecting to find it in full bloom. Her father
had to explain to her that plants require roots
and that, although she could not see what was {
going on, the seeds were doing their most i'm
portant work just before the flowers showed
above ground.
So advertising is doing its most important
work before the big results eventuate, and to
abandon the money which has been invested just
before results arrive is not only foolish but child
ish 1t would be just as logical for farmer to /
abandon his fields because he could not harvest /

Two National Labor Bodies Meet in

Denver, Col. Nov. 23.-Today in this

bodies, adjuncts to the American Fed

two organizations represent over l.
100000 men. They are the building
trades and railroad employees depart
ments. The latter, an organization of
100000 men. was formed in Denver
Saturday last.
The building trades department rep

first session was called to order by
President James Kirby of Chicago. a
leader in the United Brotherhood OF

ROCKEFELLER AGAIN ACTIVE HEAD
OF THE STANDARD OIL COMPANY

has expressed the view that man
should not retire while he is still able
to do good work, his return to his desk
is consistent.
But other circumstances, more i'm
port than his recovered health, may
have caused Rockefeller to take up the
active presidency of the Standard Oil
company. III. H. Rogers, his chief lieu
tenant, and for years the real head of
the company after Rockefeller's retire
ment, has been unable to direct it's
workings for some time, owing to poor
health.
/, John d. Archbold, who followed Mr..
Rogers as active head of the company,
has been rather uncomfortable in print
since the political campaign brought
its "Archbold letters" That the foun.
der of the great monopoly thinks
firmer and better hands are needed to
guide it on its course, Or at least to
guide it safely through the present
troubled waters, is an assumption
likely to be adopted.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1908-11-23

New York, Nov. 23.-After four
teen years of retirement John d. Rock
efeller. the richest man in the world
ct the age of 60 is again the active as
well as the nominal head of the great
est and most talked of, corporation in
America, the Standard Oil company.
For the last three weeks Rockefeller
has been in his Office in the Standard
Oil building, 26 Broadway, every day.
spending from four to five hours at
his desk in his private room on the
fourteenth floor. During the last week
he has, been at work every business
hour not encroached upon by his ap-
pearances in court. In addition to his
private secretary, Mr.. Carey, he has
been assisted by Miss Adams, his
secretary, who makes her home with
him at Pocantico Hills.
Just what induced Rockefeller to
take the helm again may only be
guessed. Itais known, however, that
he is in better health today that he
has been for years, and as he often
