MR. RuslNEss MAN.

Would you like to have a part
ner who would work for you ear
nestly, honestly and faithfully
Whom you could rely upon in
good times or bad 70 work for the
increase Of your business7
A partner who would work for
you night and day--a truly "silent
partner"
Did il ever occur to you to look
upon advertising in this light?
Yet your advertisino--if properly
handled-fulfils all Of these re-
quirements.
But for these returns you must
give the same treatment TO your
advertising that you would give
to a good partner.
You must pay this partner a GER
tain amount Of your returns. Your
advertising appropriation fulfils
this requirement.
You must permit the partner to
make a "eood front" To do so,
present your advertising matter
in suitable type and in proper Ian
guage, neatly arranged.
And you must give this partner
time 20 show results. You would
not expect a partner 20 build up
your business in a day. Persist
ence is required 10 obtain returns.
You must also consider the man
ner Of introducing this partner 70
the public. That is, the medium
in which you place your sdvertis-
ing must be respectable and 90
among respectable people. This
requirement Is met with in THE

MUSIC LOVING NAPLES.
Il Has the Poorest and Happiest People
In the World.

X Fiae tno POOREST ana 1apPieAt Fcopie
In the World.
It is estimated that a quarter Of a
million people in Naples live from
hand TO mouth, and there are hundreds
Of children who subsist out Of the gar
bage boxes and who sleep In churches
and on doorsteps
The taxes in italy to provide war
ships and to keep the nation on a war
footing with the other powers are real
" stupendous. There is a tax on ev-
erything, says the Delineator-grain in
the field, fruit on the vine, old bottles.
Fuel and foodstuffs are very dear
Only labor is cheap. For the very poor
meat is luxury unheard Of. and even
macaroni is too dear to be INDUCED in
often. There are any number Of per
ambulating street kitchens, where va
rious kinds Of soup. cakes and fruits
are sold in portions costing / cent.
And yet these people seem very happy.
Bands Of musicians are always play
ing In the streets; the guitar and the
mandolin are to be heard everywhere
on the boats. in the hotels, and the
stranger is lulled to sleep by a soft
serenade under his balcony.
The story teller thrives in Naples, as
there are so many idlers there. He col
lects a little crowd around him and
proceeds in the most dramatic way,
gesticulating wildly and working his
face into the most excruciating ex-
pressions, to relate stories of adven-
ture or other events. much to the edi-
hcation Of his hearers, who to show
their appreciation are often betrayed
into giving a sou which might have
been better spent for bread or polenta.
The public letter writer is another
street dignitary Of Importance and in
great demand, especially with timid
and buxom maids of all work who
have themselves neglected to learn
the art Of writing. OF such the public
letter writer holds all the secrets Of
their loves and is often their adviser
as well as amanuensis.

of the season and it's first public appear

Madame Langendorff has rich voice of
wonderful power and her vocalization is
perfect Seldom is an artist heard with a
more dramatic quality of voice. She calls
to mind the great Materna of years ago,
who was the principal soprano in Wag-
ner's music dramas at Bayreuth.
Madame Langendorff is German through
and through, and is essentially Wag-
merriam singer. 1t goes without saying,
therefore, that she Is an educated musi-
clan, for all Germans who appear upon
the stage are thoroughly grounded in
musicianship, which includes pretty much
everything in the way of culture. She
was in good voice last night and the
