Who Is WrOns3

The Chamberlain Medicine company,
a proprietary medicine concern IN Des
Moines, Iowa, spends $50 year for ad-
vertising in the Telegraph. This COM
pany has perhaps never had at any one
time more than $500 worth Of their
goods located in the territory covered
by the Telegraph. Moreover they have
only two or three low-priced articles to
offer the public. and have the whole
country as a field Of operations. Yet
they are spending more money for ad
vertsing in this particular paper than
is being spent by several Starke mer-
chants who have ten times as much
stock investment and hundreds OF times
as many articles to offer the public and
who must depend for sales solely on
the territory covered by the Telegraph.
The merchants do not appear to have
"grouch" at the editor Or the paper.
1t is evident, therefore, that they do
not believe advertising pays, or at least,
that it is a business detail not worthy
Of the time required to look after it.
Either the medicine people or the
merchants are wrong. One must be
right and the other wrong on the prop
osition. The medicine company spends
fortune every year in advertising, en-
ployes experts TO prepare andplan their
advertising and keeps on the pay roll q
staff Of clerks to check up the papers
and see that the advertisements are
properly inserted We rather think that
the weight of testimony is on their side,
but pass the question up to the mer-
chant who has not spent an hour this
wear in thinking about his store public

The Tallahassee Musical Club held its
first meeting for the opening season
Tuesday evening. October 9Th, at the
X. Of p. Hall The Knights very hos.
pitably offered the use Of their beautiful
hall for these meetingf, and their kind
ness was gratefully accepted
All formal arrangements for the COM
ing year are now perfected, and the
club will begin work IN earnest at their
next meeting. Tuesday evening Of each
week will be devoted to study and prac-
tice, and an open concert will be held
on the last Wednesday of every month.
These concerts, which will also be held
in the X. Of p. Hall, are free to the
members, each of whom is privileged
also to bring q friend, but outsiders will
be charged a small admission price,
amount to be hereafter decided upon.
The hour for the Tuesday meetings is
8 p. m, but the concert hour is post
poned TO $3.50, so as not to conflict with
the Wednesday evening prayer services
held in several Of the churches.
In the absence of the president, Mrs.
Fred T. Myers, the meeting Tuesday
night was very gracefully presided over
by Mrs. L. A. Perkins, vice-president
Of the club. The other officers are: Miss
Sara Cline, musical director; Miss Ger
trude Chittenden, secretary; Mr.. J.,
Earle Perkins, treasurer; Miss Virginia
Hardaway, librarian, and Mrs. r. B.
German, press corresrOndent. All Of
these, except the president, were pres
ent on Tuesday evening.
Reports from the various committees
showed that great interest had been
taken in getting the affairs of the club
in good working order. Committee on
the Year Book submitted complete
and interesting program, committee on
piano announced that an instrument
would be on hand before the next meet
ing, and committee on general arrange
ments reported satisfactory results,
The colors chosen for the club are green

A Story With a Nora.

A short time ago the writer of the
Lakeland Sun passed through a town m
another state, stopping over for only
two or three hours In order TO make
connection with an outgoing train. II
was midnight when the train which bore
US to the city arrived, two or three
hours late, and everybody was tired,
cross and dispirited. Schedules were
disarranged on account of high water,
and people were anxious and uncertain
about reaching their destination. So
like all people do in such cases, they be-
gan to ply the station agent with ques-
tons.
They lined up before his window,
some timid, some arrogant, some merely
idly inquisitive, some malevolent. All
expected short, snappy answers usual
under such circumstances. One by one
they came away to make room for an
impatient successor, and every face as
it was turned from the window wore an
expression more cheerful, more kindly,
less tired and anxious.
For this railroad man was one among
a thousand of his kind
Quietly, distinctly, pleasantly and ex-
plicitly, he gave the information asked
for, or politely expressed regret at his
inability TO do so. His unvarying good
humor and even tempered manner was
restful 70 the wearied travellers and
soothed the tense nerves like music.
Then there was the lunch counter
man. A man with a cross and sleepy
baby, found there was nothing to drink
from at the water cooler, so he asked
the loan of aglass II was forthcoming,
with a kindly and sympathetic word.
But then there was no water, and the
man brought back the glass. The lunch
counter keeper apologized as If he were
responsible for the sins of the railroad
company, and leaving his customers,
waited on these unremunerative patrons
as pleasantly as if he had no other con-
Germ in hfe.
These were little things. But as the
tired travellers boarded the south-bOund
express, which Numbered in about
dawn, one of them was heard to say:
IL don't know anything about this
town, but / believe I'd like to live
here"
WHY" he was asked,
"Well, the people seem so nice. No
tice that ticket agent and lunch counter
man z"
Which goes to show that often a
whole community is judged by the man
ners of one or two persons-and that
we never know how far-reaching may
be the effects of the simplest kindly
iced

The Tampa Tribune began life fifteen
years ago on a crust Of bread and cup
of water from the ditch, and now it is
worth 500, 900, and is the pride of South
Florida. 1t is, possibly, the most nota-
BILE example Of newspaper success in
Florida, the credit of which is due to
the indomitable energy and persistence
Of w. +. StOvall, who started the paper
and continues TO be it's chief. He began
under the most Encouraging conditions,
with the leading influences Of Tampa
against him, but he triumphed over all
obstacles and opposition, and now has
the most profitable newspaper in FlOri-
da. During the days Of his adversely,
amidst all his Heterogeneous at the
beginning, his one loyal friend and faith
ful ally was the much-abused Peter o.
Knight, whose fidelity is as steadfast as
ever. Can any one blame Stovall for
his loyalty to such a true and tried
friend? Stovall has never been guilty Of
ingratitude or disloyalty TO his friends,
and that is one reason for his success.
As to the Tribune, it stands now and
will continue to stand long after StOvall
has crossed the great divide, as a mon
ument to his energy ana enterprise, an
example Of success to encourage all
young men who may be starting out for
themselves under what they consider
adverse circumstances and conditions.
