Some folks have tried so long to

that they have about made up .heir

PERSISTENCE PAYS.

Writing in the current number OF

You can't derive a fortune from
your first Advertising any more
than you can achieve teeth at your
birth. There Is now and then an
exception, but neither the teeth nor
the business cont nue. for very long
The advertiser should dread, rsth-
er than expect fabulous returns
from his first inves ments In adver-
tB ng. Such reverse of the usual
order would eventually ruin his, for
he would expect like results with
out further Advertising. He would
consider his fortune made until he
awoke one morning 30 discover that
the people had forgotten him-and,
more important, his wares. Keep

The brick wall ran around another side Of

past it.
Slowly crossing common, looking all about

trace of the object of his search, was William
Dodge.
AS he disappeared the lonely watcher, puz-

A saw lay in the mud at the edge of the
pavement, hammer had been flung into the
branches of a tree. chisel graced hitchlng,,
post, and augurs, bits and files were lying all
around the spot.
He secured them finally, and was busily
engaged in picking up heterogeneous mass
of nails and screws, when he uttered slight
exclamation of surprise.
Lying on the pavement was a worn leather
pocket-book, hattened out from long usage,
and yet suggestive of wealth from that very
circumstance.
Hello! What's this?" he cried.
He curiously regarded his unexpected find,
and then proceeded to examine its contents.
1t held dollar bill and about half as much
more money in old coins.
There was an old pine-tree shilling, worn
and rare, liberty-cap penny, an English

minor American coins.

about to materialize.

One of them alone femained-it was Nat

will ask, in his first annual report, for twenty-four new regiments of cavalry and infantry and twelve more companies of coast artillery.
 In the name of common sense, why do we need an increase in these forces? Already we are spending about 70 per cent of our national revenue for the army, the navy, and for pensions. We are at peace with the world. There is no likelihood of war; and for the sake of the mere bugbear of possible war, or, as President Roosevelt phrases it, as national insurance against war, we have already burdened ourselves almost to the limit.
 We cry out about hard times and deprecate the temporary decadence of national prosperity, and yet cheerfully contemplate the squandering of other millions for purposes which, to the lay man, seem absolutely wasteful. It is, indeed, time that We take lesson from Japan; think less of possible conflicts with other nations, which seem highly improbable, and more of the content and well being of our people at home.
