Of popular government In Russia,
Prof. Paul Milyoukov concluded his
remarks at Carnegie hall Tuesday
night with, the declaration that all

for her the challenging significance of

Apparently the innuendo passed I'M

courage to appear calm.

softly. And looking him full in the
face, Her mother thanks you for the

bravery would have softened a man of

CLEAN came into his eyes, and his at
tack became more brutally direct.
But the husband-has he never mis-
trusted?"
The blow told, though her reply was
given with ripping laughter and for
the benefit of any chance listeners.
For shame, Mr.. Bansemerw' she
cried lightly. after fiattering me SO
delightfully."- you're surely not going to
spoil it all?"
Despite his growing annoyance, adj
miration shone clearly from Banse-
mer's eyes. His memory carried him
back some twenty years to the scene
in his Office. Was it possible, he was
thinking, that the charming woman
before him exercising so cleverly all
the arts of society, as if born to the
purple, and the light hearted, frivolous
little wife of the Centrafs engineer
were one and the same person? The
metamorphosis seemed incredible.
UnwittingIy~ his manner lost some of
its aggressiveness, and the woman. per-
ceiving the altered conditions. quick
to take advantage, resolved to learn if
possible his Intentions. Presently, go
ing right to the point, she asked:
"Is that extraordinary looking erea-
ture you had in your Office still with
you, Mr.. BansemerY'
"Extraordinary!' He laughed loud

The people nearest to them by this
time had moved away. to another part
of the large drawing room. Practically
the couple were by themselves. She
had been thinking for moment, rea-
soning with woman's logic that it
was always well to know ones enemy.
When she next spoke it was almost in
a whisper.
How much does that horrible man

He is not supposed to know any
thing" and then, with an enigmatieai
smile, promptly admitted, However,

note, he continued: "The papers had

broke off abruptly. Her fears were
proving too much for her, and she was
in imminent danger of complete
breakdown. All the veneer with which
she had bravely commenced the inter-
view had disappeared.
Bansemer endeavored to soothe her
with promises, but the poor woman
saw only his teeth in the reassuring
smile that he presented to her, togeth-
ser with the warnings that they were
/ likely to be observed. With the hard
est kind of an effort she succeeded in
pulling herself together sufficiently to

Advertisers who realize what it may

We take up such advertising, when de-

MT. SlauQe u. hopkins Is now peIInd-
nently at the head of our copy department.
His salary is $1,000 per week.
No fact, perhaps, can better show how
far we go to bring results to our clients.
Mr. Hopkins commands the highest
salary ever paid in advertising, because
he brings the best results.
He has made more money for adver-
tisers. in more different lines, than any
other man has done.
For twenty years, scores of the great
est successes have been due to his copy
and schemes
His supremacy as salesman in print,
is today undisputed.
Now all of the copy which we prepare
for our clients is under his supervision.
This copy department is the expensive
part of our business.
We spend on it what other great agen-
cies spend on soliciting.
1t is filled with able men-men with
remarkable records.
Men whom we have picked out, in the
course of years, by the brilliant results
we have seen them accomplish.
And we want more of them.
No concern will pay more for men of
proved ability-men whose records show
exceptional results.
Yet this department is not an expense
neither to us nor Our clients.
We handle advertising on the usual
agents commission.
And that commission is paid to us
largely by the newspapers and magazines
not by the advertiser.
With many small accounts, with great
possibilities, we spend ten times our COM
mission in proving them out.
Our profit comes through making the
advertising SO profitable that it expands.
Thus our costly copy department more
than pays its way.
1t multiplies advertising by. making it

Our Advisory Board

Our Advisory Board consists of sixteen
men, all masters of advertising
Mr. Hopkins is at the head of it.
Before this Beard comes every inpor-
tant problem submitted to us by present or
possible clients
Here we decide what is possible and
what is impossible and advise those who
consult us accordingly.
That service is free to all.
And here these sixteen men-all able, all
with vast experience-plan our campaigns
in conference
Selling plans, mediums, methods and
copy are submitted to full discussion.
In advertising, experience counts for
more than ability.
No man, dealing with one line, can grasp
the fringe of advertising possibilities.
These sixteen men live in a vortex of
advertising
We handle more advertising, of more
different kinds, than any. concern in the
world.
We conduct more test campaigns, try
more schemes, learn more experiences
than ever existed in advertising outside
of this agency.
And the results are all tabuated
Thus we know what pays. Thus we
avoid mistakes. Thus we bring to each
new problem the results OF all our expert
ence.

A DIFFICULT PROBLEM.

Unfortunately, Mr.. Taft's assertion
that the administration of justice, civil
and criminal, should be improved both
in the matter Of it's prompt dispatch
and the cheapening of it's use rs accom-
panied by no new suggestions that are
likely to work a change for the better.
Mr.. Taft himself admits that the pro-
blem presented is very difficult and
that there seems to be no absolute
remedy. The laws delays have given
rise to considerable impatience and
criticism aforetime, and while the
theory still obtains that there is equal
ity before the law long experience has
taught that almost invariably, in some
respects, at least the rich man enjoys
a decided advantage over the poor
man. The principal trouble seems to be
that court machinery is inadequate.
The right of appeal cannot be denied,
of course, although it frequently in
wolves costly litigation, and the de-
mand for immediate trial is out of all
proportion to the means for supplying
it. Nevertheless. out of the agitation
of the subject perhaps some good may
come.

medical world the clue leading to the
cure Of this worst of all diseases that

Should this desired contamination

ped his hair a la pompadour and shaved
off his luxuriant whiskers. Eleanor

this uncommon appearance very ridicu-

Some people are always longing to
be with angels. We never do. We
have an idea that an angel would be
very much stuck up and disagreeable.
When we remember how bravely a

pain hurts a man worse than a
woman.
A young man thinks his girl looks
pretty in anything she puts on her
head, but after he has paid for a hat
or two he wonders that she doesn't
look prettier.
