\ middle-aged passenger was arrest
ed for refusing to leave the platform on
crowded pay-as-you-enterc car in New
ark one day last week. The hearing
before IA police court will take place to-
morrow and this man will have the
sympathy of thousands of outraged men
who have yielded to this rule of the
trolley service under protest A great
many men prefer to ride ON the plat
form of "A car to riding inside. Men who
want to smoke and men with impaired
lungs who object to the vitiated air of
ii crowded car feel that their rights are
interfered with by the rule that has
been made for these peculiar cars. No
attempt to enforce such Il rule has been
made on any other kind Of car, and no
good reason has been advanced for en-
forcing it on the new cars. II is true
that the elevated and subway cars have
no accommodations for fresh air people
er, the cars are not SO crowded and
there is more fresh air III them than in
crowded trolley car. There should
be some modification of the rule or
car with smokers compartment, such
AS in use in many Western cities. 1t
may he all right for the company TO
make rule TO prevent passengers from
riding on the platform, but how can
the police be justified in arresting a
peaceable citizen because he objects to
this rule2

PAYING FOR A MEAL.
II Was Worth About a Shilling to Pick
Those Bones.

tnoSo Bones.
Colonel Ebenezer Sproat of Revolu-
tionary fame was born and bred In
Middleboro, Mass. He was always
fond of n joke and was quick to seize
an opportunity to indulge his propen-
sity, as the following incident illus
tratcs. His father. also n Colonel
Sproat, kept Il tavern. One day while
Ebenezer was at home ON Il furlougb
three private soldiers, on their return
from the seat of war. called for cold
luncheon.
Mrs. Sproat set on the table some
bread and cheese with the remnants of
the family dinner. which her son
thought rather scanty fare for hungry
men. He felt Il little yexed that the
defenders of the country were not
more beautifully supplied. The sol
dlers. after satisfying their appetites,
asked him how much they should pay.
Ebenezer said he would ask his moth
or. He found her In the kitchen.
Mother" he said. how much is 1t
worth to pick those bones?"
About shilling. guess" she an
swered.
The young officer returned to the sol
diers and. taking from the barroom till
3 shillings and smiling genially upon
them. gave each man one and with
good wishes sent them on their way.
Mrs. Sproat soon after came in and
asked Ebenezer what he had done with
the money for the soldiers dinner.
In apparent amazement he exclaim-
cd; Money! Did not ask you what
It was worth to pick those bones, and
you said shilling? thought 1t little
enough, for the bones were pretty
bare. and handed the men the money
from the till. and they are gone"
Mrs. Sproat could not find heart TO
reprovc her favorite son for this mis-
Interpretation of her words, and then
she. too. loved a joke. and SO, after an
instant's glum look. she laughed and
said II was all right.

POINTS FOR ADVERTISERS

Too much advertising wastes money.
Too little advertising wastes money.
Too much copy in too little space
wastes money
Too little copy in too much space
wastes money.
Your advertising in your newspaper
should occupy certain place on GER
tain page regularly 1t can be found
there at all times 1t costs more for a
certain place. You willingly pay more
rent than your competitor on side
street, don't you?
You should never prepare your adj
vertising IN a hurry. Set aside regu-
lar hour or a special time for its pre-
paration a note book in which to lot
down ideas as they occur will be found
a great help Ideas come when least
expected Jot them down ! If you
don't, they may be gone for good. Make
his an experiment and it will soon be-
come a necessity. You cannot always
think of the best thing to say just when
you want to.
What passes for originality to-day is
the ability to express an idea or a fact
in common-sense way in everyday
words
Give factsin your advertising. There
is always lingering doubt in the mind
Of the public that you are trying to
skin them.
One fact is worth dozen adjectives.
Description must be reliable.
Description must be interesting.
:" The best in the world is empty
bombast Don't use it. Give reasons
why your wares are good wares
1t never hurts any business to quote
high prices on high quality.
When advertising high grades, quail
ty should be talked For cheap or low
grade goods, quote prices
You can't know too much about type
and type faces, rules, borders, etc. You
should acquaint yourself with all these
details You and your printer will I'M
lerstand each other and work in better
harmony when YOU do.

GENESIS OF FEAR.
Gray Cells Of Our Brains Stamped
With Ancient Terrors.

with AnSiSnt SFTOTS.
The average man would sooner face
200 pound human antagonist than a
fifty pound dog which he could choke
TO death in three minutes. | have seen
a charging ram scatter half 4 dozen
men, amy ene of whom could have
mastered the brute in moment, and
not one of whom was in ordinary mat
tiers Il coward. There are instances on
record of men who with their bare
hands have held and baffled an ugly
bull, but II was only the pressure of
grim necessity that taught them their
powers. Put a man against an animal
and the man looks around for weap-
ons or support, whether he needs them
or not. There was time when he did.
For man, today the most lordly of
animals, was once well nigh the most
humble of them all. He has come up
out of a state in which fear was the
normal condition of exiStence-fear of
violence. of the dark that gave oppor
tunity for violence, fear of falling, of
animals, Of being alone. And into the
plastic gray cells of our brains are
stamped these ancient terrors, liv-
ing record of the upward climb of
man.
The baby shows this record most
clearly. In him the prints of heredity
are not yet overlaid by the tracks of
use and custom, and therefore in him
we may most easily read our past his
tory. He is our ancestor as truly as
he is our reincarnation, and his every
shrinking gesture and frightened cry
are chronicles of the younger world,
tales Of the age of fear.
They tell Of the days when man was
not the master Of the earth nor even
highly considered citizen of the
same, but Il runaway subject Of the
meat eating monarchs, whose scepter
was tooth and claw, humble plebeian
in the presence of the horned and
hoofed aristocrats of woods and fields.
They speak of the nights when our
hairy sires crouched In the forks of
trees and whimpered softly at the
dark - whimpered because the dark
held SO many enemies, whimpered
softly lest those enemies should hear,

ton Guillotin, iii keeping with the

of their birth or station, should be dealt
with alike by the law, and six months
later lie proposed 10 the government
that convicted murderers should be
beheaded by means of a simple appara-
tus The mechanism of which he and
no one else had any idea at Nat time

A good advertisement stating the adj
