honest ambition and a fund of inexpe-

thought it vas about time to begin, SC
he edged along on the sofa.

ut cost me nearly two dollars to have
my hair done up. 1t is set for a

With great respect avoiding this
point of contact, he endeavored to
put n arm around her waist.

tangled up in this Irish lace. 1t cost
$500, and it might be expensive for
you to have repaired"
With this the young man got up.

A N INTERESTING report on tattoo
"A ing in the navy has been made to
Secretary Metcalf by Surgeon Ammon
Farenholt as a result of his observa-
tons while serving on the receiving
ship Independence at the Mare island
navy yard in California.
The enlistment records of 1872 men
were examined by DR.. Farneholt. this
being the enlistments on the Independ-
ence for eight and a half years. These
records show that the percentage
found tattooed on examination for sec.
ond and subsequent enlistments was
1851, and the percentage found tat
tooed on examination for first en-
listment was 23.01. The opinion is ex.
pressed that about 60 per cent. of the
sailors who have served over ten years
In the navy are tattooed.
DR.. Farenholt says it is not fair to
assume from the figures that 90 per
cent. of the male citizens are tattooed
as a considerable proportion of appli-
cants for enlistment are sea-faring
men. He was surprised to find so
many, probably eight per cent. of the
recruits, who are tattooed and who de-
MED having been at sea or even hav-
ing lived in seaport towns. In DR..

Tattooing Very Popular in the Navy

Farenholt's opinion, the custom is
more common in camps and in places
where men are collected in large mum.
bers than is imagined.
The report contains statistics re-
garding the location of tattoo marks
and the frequency of various designs.
Letters, notices, initials and allied de.
vices lead the list and constitute about
26 per cent. of all ink marks. Coats of
arms and national emblems follow
with about 25 per cent, then flags,
anchors, etc. Female figures are
shown in IS per cent. of all tattooing.
The usual types were found among
them, such as 'Holdfast" Ga letter on
the back of each tinger); apprentice
knot; pig on dorsum of foot, which,
among the older men, was supposed to
shield it's possessor from death by
drowning; crucifix. which in case Of
death would insure burial in a Chris
tian country, and Jerusalem cross"
which would answer the same purpose
on Moslem shores. Of the latter DR..
Farenholt found IA, all in re-enlisted
men One man was adorned with a
sock covering each foot and extending
above the ankle; another with a fox
hunting scene. In one case the entire
back was covered by a large Masonic
column and globe. Little Egypt fig.
ured in two cases and a copy of a beer
trademark in one. Designs showing
the Goddess of Liberty, ships, eagles,
pigs and apprentice knots were found
to be more popular on re-enlistment
than among those who came directly
from civil life.

How to Advertise.

Advertising is telling people what
you have for sale and why they should
buy. 1t sounds Is easy as going to
sleep in a feather bed on a cold night.
Every merchant advertises, in some
form or another. He may use nothing
but his voice and a few signs, but he
advertises just the same. The mer-
chant should consider advertising
from the standpoint of utility. He ad-
vertises in some form or other, al
ways. What Is the best way? How
a he reach the most people? That
means, what medium should be used.
The newspaper is a good vehicle for
advertising for it Is read by great
numbers of people. The local paper
is best, for it reaches the people liv.
ing near at hand. The store sign, the
window, other means for conveying
advertisements are useful in varying
degrees. There Is another thing to be
considerations to DO the advertising,
what to say and how to say it. APP
peal to interest, be succinct, say some
thing about the goods, make a special
ty of something in each advertisement
OF series of advertisements.

Wanted to Adjourn.

Last year the legislature of the
state Of Mississippi were somewhat
later than usual in adjourning, al.
though, says a prominent politician Of
that state, there seemed to be no i'm.
portant business under consideration.
One of the legislators, a gentleman
known as Judge Wilkins, was met
in the street by a friend one hot
morning.
Are you going to get out pretty
soon, judge?" the friend asked.
ooh, 1 suppose So" answered the
Judge, in a depressed tone, hopping
his brow.
Anything much going on, judge?"
mo"
Then why don't you all wind up?"
Heaven knows!" exclaimed the
judge.
There's nothing but a lot of petty
business to bother us. I wish some.
thing important would turn up. Then
the motion to adjourn would be In
order ."-Illustrated Sunday Magazine

THE president is not only a good
~churchgoer himself, but deserves
the thanks of at least two Washington
preachers for his aid in boosting the
size of their congregations.
With his prediction for having
everything reformed it is no more than
natural that his church also should
bear the magic label. 1t is Grace Re-
formed, a rather small, gray stone
building on Fifteenth street, not quite
a mile from the White House.
Grace Reformed is not a fashionable
church. The congregation is unas-
Stunning in appearance and would be
decidedly modest in size If it were
not for the president. He fills Ger.
tainly two-thirds of the pews. So far
rs audiences go the preacher may
have to look for lean years after
March 4, 1909.
While the president flls dozens of
the pews by the mere fact of his ex-
pected presence he occupies his own
seat in solitary grandeur. Once In
a while he goes with his wife and
family to st. Johns, but they don't
seem inclined to reciprocate the at
tention. st. Johns rejoices in the
local title of "the church of state"
and always reserves a pew for the
president of the United States, though

many years when Mrs. Roosevelt be-

LET ALL PULL TOGETHER.
Necessity Of harmonious Efforts on
Part Of Citizens.

The principle of working together
and accomplishing more than individ-
ual effort may accomplish is the real
reason for associations, secret CO.
cieties,. fraternities. organizations of
every sort. Pulling together does
things which nothing else may accom-
plish. It's value is very great.
There is a danger, too, in uniting
oneself too closely with others, lest
ones liberty be involved. But that
lies wholly in the construction of the
combination. If properly put together,
1T may accomplish the ends desired
without curtailing the freedom of the
associated individuals. However, we
desire to say a word about working in
harmony, whether in actual associa-
ton or without any definite organiza-
ton.
When partners work together the
accomplishment of the firm is far
greater. When merchants of a town
resolve to work together for the bene-
tit of themselves they do things worth
doing. When the business interests
OF a state resolve to bend their united
energies to the fulfllment of some
thing needed the chances of success
are multiplied by geometrical progress
sion.
There is not a city in the country
against which at some time the
charge has not been laid Of selfishness
and hoggishness. Yet these cities are
no MOI selfish than any other aggre-
cation of people. The man who sets
at outs cities and towns and country
sides may not do it through any save
a mistaken of loyalty to his
age. He makes a mistake. 1t is a
selishness in itself to try to belittle
ones competitors. 1t leads to envy
and a host of evils.
Your town may have all the good,
honest, generous folks on the face Of
the earth, but we doubt it. We think
we have known a few elsewhere. Your
market city may possibly be the
abode of thieves and liars only, but
we have known many honorable citi-
zens and upright business men in it.
Work with them and not against them.
and together you may pull the cart
out of the rut. With you Juggling at
one end and he sweating at the other,
and both of you cussing each other
and lifting at different times, nothing
can ever be accomplished. Work to-
gether in all legitimate and desirable
deeds.
