THE ENCORE HABIT.

How Sims Reeves Turned the Tables
on One Of His Admirers.
Sims Reeves. who in his day was &C.
cepted as the most celebrated tenor on
the concert stage, was so much Of q
favorite that whenever he sang he was
usually greeted with q hearty encore.
accompanied with enthusiastic cheers.
Reeves was very good natured about
the matter. but he made it a rule never
to sing more than one selection when
he felt that his voice was not in flrst
class shape. He happened to notice
that an elderly man, who turned out
to lie a dealer in hats along the Strand,
London. attended nearly every concert
within convenient distance IL Sims
Reeves happened to be on the bill and
generally led the encore brigade. This
halter was persistent person and Of
ten applauded until he had forced
Reeves to respond to double and triple
encores.
Determined to teach the little halter
4 lesson. one afternoon just as dark
was approaching Reeves entered his
admirers store and said, Zone hat
please" naming. the particular shape
| which he desired. The little halter
didn't recognize the great tenor and
handed out one hat.
Good" said Reeves. "How much
is this hat:''
Give shillings," said the store pro.
prietor.
Encore" said Reeves.
A second hat was forthcoming, and
Reeves ultimately obtained three zen.
core" hats. When the little halter de-
manded fl sterling for the purchases
Reeves pretended to be furious.
"Send these four hats to this ad.
Dress ordered the tenor in terrible
tone. hut only pay for one hat. Dc
you understand? The three other hats
are encore hats. II you make me sing
songs for nothing you must send me
hats for nothing"
The little halter was speechless.-

USES LACK BOARD.
Marco Morrow Gives Some Pointers in
Advertising.

The fact that the Advertising club
of Topeka held its meeting at the roof
garden on top of the National hotel to-
day and that the temperature was not
far removed from the freezing point
did not serve to dim the ardor of the
members Two-thirds of the entire
membership of the club sat down to a
monday lunch and afterwards listened
to an address by Marco Morrow who
spoke on ''The Fundamentals of Adver-
Using"
The committee on arrangements for
the lunch had not anticipated as great
an attendance as confronted them and
a DELAY was caused while an additional
table was prepared for the belated ar
rivals. Mr.. Morrow was for eight years
secretary of the Long Critchffeld Ad-
vertising agency in Chicago and but re-
Gently located in Topeka where he has
charge of the Capper publications.
His talk was illustrated by black
board drawings and was an innovation
as far as the Topeka Advertising club
is concerned, being the first thing of
this kind which has been presented.

When Judge Taft reached the Grand

He acknowledged the compliment, but
could not respond with a speech because
of the noise. At Ycnkers the candidate

the rumor in New York that he was in

TURNED LIGHTS
UP SIDE DOWN

The enormous number of homes
where gas is being used today, and the
constantly increasing number who are
awakening to the many advantages it
offers, has made the demand for better
facilities for using the same imperative.
The demand has been gratf6ed, in the
Illinois LII inverted gas light. The in
genius inventor of this suberb light,
realized that for light to be perfect,
must be cast down rather than up; the
result is the Illinois LII inverted gas

success in cases where failures are re

success in cases where failures are re
ported.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
are Squandered each year by advertis-
ers who do not study the propositions
as it should be and allow the advertis-
ing proposition to slip through their
fingers without accomplishing 'the de-
sired results. To successfully advertise
the man who is placing the advertising
should diagnose the case just as d
physician would and then write pre-
scription to conform with the analysis
which he has made.
advertising is done for the purpose
of creating customers for commodities
which merchants or others may have
for sale and to be successful must be
studied. In the first place the adver-
tiser should understand the commodity
which he hopes to dispose of and then
he must know his customers who may
become possible purchasers Advertis-
ing should bear an individuality and IL
is this individuality which makes the
difference between good and bad adver-
Using.
There is too much of the hand me
down advertising done in these days
and woeful lack of originality, of
course this remark does not apply to
the advertising done by the members
of the Topeka Advertising club. Facts
and not theories are what count in
these days in advertising commodities
of any kind and advertising must be
done TO dispose of goods and it makes
no difference what the commodity is it
must be advertised in some way if the
owner wishes to dispose of it."
Mr. Morrow's talk was literally ap-
plauded and he was followed by short
talks by w. A. Butler, a representative
of N. w. Aver & Co. of Philadel-
phia, and ]. c. Feeley, a former To-
peka man who now has headquarters

Three Negroes Killed in
Wreck.

Roanoke, Va, March 9.-Two
negro men and one negro woman
were killed in a wreck of a Nor
folk & Western freight train
near Tazeweil, Va, today. The
negroes were beating their way
in box car. The wreck was
caused by a slide in a deep cut.
The two engines cleared the
slide, but the coal cars were
piled in heap. There are
about 400 tons of coal in the cut
and it is said two more dea5
beats are under the wreckage.
None of the crew of the train was
seriously injured.
