Most department store advertising may be
Divided inso three classes: bad very bad, and

Bargain advertising is in the first class. 1t does

MYSTERY OF THOUGHT.

Theme For Five Minutes.

Try TO concentrate four Mino on One
Theme For Five Minutes.
A St Louis physician who has given
much attention to the study of mental
disease in its various phases. though,
as he says himself, not enough to quail
ify as an alienist has Il curious theory
with regard to concentration OF thought
on any particular subject.
His idea is that no human can so
fix his mind on any special topic as
to avoid even for a moment the GRANT
thoughts that come and go, not only
without our volition, but in spite of
our most earnest efforts at mental ap-
plication.
He goes SO far as to maintain that
nobody but monomaniac can think
of one subject continuously for five
minutes and even believes that the
ability to do so is one evidence OF
something wrong In the upper story.
81 once heard the subject discussed
by a party of intelligent men. and one
Of the number was SO confident OF his

BALTIMORE SUN OUT FOR TAFT.

papers oi the South, has come out
strongly In support of w H. Taft for
President. In 1896 the Sun antagon-
ICED Bryan and the free silver move

Bryan and made good fight Tor him,
but failed to hold the conservative
element of the Democratic party in
Maryland IN line for HIM. During the
late Senator Germans control of the
Democratic machine in Maryland the
Sun made several strong fights against
HIM and helped to turn the tate over
to the Republicans in the overthrow of
the Democratic machine.
Although the Democratic organiza-

With the Sun for lait, the Bryanites

An Eccentric Will.

In the year 1916 gentleman living
In England named Samuel Baldwin
died after somewhat unhappy mar
ried life. BY his will Mr.. Baldwin
left his property to his young wife on
the condition that she should from time
to time dance upon his grave.
The motive for this strange request
was evident when the instructions for
his interment were read. Mr.. Baldwin
desired that his remains should be TAX
en- by boat to the Needles and then
cast In the sea. This singular wish
enabled him to revenge himself on his
wife for past disagreements, and the
widow lost the property, as she could
not fulfil the conditions Of her hus-
bands beQuest
