Ancient Posters.

It is probably the general impression
that posters and handbills are modern
Inventions. but it has been discovered
that the ancient Romans practiced this
method Of advertising. In digging at
Hercu!aneum there was brought TO
light pillar covered with bills, one on
top of another. The paste used to stick
them was made Of gum arabic The
bills, wher separated and examined,
were found TO Ire programmes and an
nouncements OF public meetings and
even election proclamatious.

of the national machinery, and he took
the easiest means at hand and called
first. Many of the governors found
time to return the visit Others could
not, but they all met James Bryce and
took his measure just as he TOOK
theirs. Mr.. Bryce entertained Bryan,
John Mitchell, Andrew Carnegie and
many of the governors at dinner. II
any man on this continent will know
what this meeting. of the governors
meant, it will be the publicist from
Great Britain. He intends to write OF
it also, and it is comfortable to realize
that he has obtained all his data at
first hand and from reliable sources.
Mr.. Bryce has been a revelation to
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. kind Of
diplomatist usually assigned to the
Washington mission. He has taken
a high ground, and the pace he has SET
is not altogether pleasing to his col
leagues Many of the ambassadors
now in this country would cling to the
old ways if they felt secure in so do
ing. But Mr.. Bryce has revolutionized
the service. The ambassadors cannot
draw the line socially, even politically.
They must get in the limelight, make
speeches, give interviews, mingIe with
the common herd Such men as can
not do this are being called home.

A GROCERY merchant way down off
n the beaten track of Pennsylvania
avenue now has the exclusive privil-
eye of furnishing coffee for the head
of the nation, and the way it hap
pened was this:
One day the president was looking
down from the terrace of the White
House when a wagon drew up to de-
liver some eatables. Across the sides,
painted in gorgeous red, was the leg
end: 1--WE Rost Our Own Coffee"
The chief executive was tremendously
interested, and everybody in the White
House at the particular juncture was
called out on the terrace to see how
the grocerymen of Washington were
following the exalted ruler in the mat
ter of phonetic spelling.
Not satisfied with admiring the way
the merchant had of advertising his
wares, the president called up on the

Where the President Buys His Coffee

phone and expressed his apprecia-
citation. He told the head of the firm
to send up a couple of pounds of that
coffee to see if the brand was as ex.
cellent as the spelling. OF course the
merchant put on his best touches and
sent the brownest and most fragrant
Java and Mocha straightway to the
White House. The beverage ready to
serve was as fine as even the presi.
dent had anticipated, SO permanent
order to furnish ten pounds a week
was left with this fortunate firm.
But the cream of the joke and one
which has not been explained to Mr..
Roosevelt was that the painting of the
sign was a mistake-the work of an
old German sign artist who was not
particular about the way the letters
are strung together. The merchant
raised a great commotion when the
wagon returned with "rost'' conspicu-
ously on it, and it was to be returned
the next day for repairs. Now this
legend has been adopted as the trade
mark of the firm, and very likely q

The prison board of trustees may
abandon the trusty system at the Ran
&n state convict farm. Fifteen pris-
oners of this class have taken French
leave from the farm within the past five
months, which forces the conclusion
that less confidence can be placed in
white TRUSTEES than the negro prisoners
who are used in this capacity on other
farms. The abandonment of the trusty
system will involve considerable in
crease in prison expenses, as it will be
necessary to fill their places with hired
guards, who are paid from $50 to 800
per month. -.

THE real manner In which the La
Toilette filibuster on the currency
bill was lost furnishes one of the most
amusing series of incidents in the his
tory of congress. The failure is due
in great measure to Senators Scott
and Carter, who modestly admit that
they are the champion entertainers
of the country.
Senator Stone of Missouri ''has been

testimony on the subject of their
claims. Several dispensers of refresh
ments declare that Carter and Scott
know how to buy. They eulogize the
princely spending powers of the two
senators and will cheerfully give them

Parental Duty Too Poorly Done

Pre-natally, we make children
feel that they are unwelcome.
They are born shy, timid, fearful
of cuffs, blows and ill-treatment.
They shrink in "a measure from the
love or touch of their parents, and
are never at ease till, away from
home influences. M
AS babies, they are taught to
lie, cheat, dissemble, develop sell
fishness and to struggle only for
pence and plantations. They see
their parents deceitful and al
ways double-dealing with Them.
They are educated to deceit, and-sto
go outside of blood relationship for
confdants and advice. They see
their parents nagging each other,
quarreling, scolding each other,
pickering, back-biting, and the
next moment praising, fiattering
and kissing each other. Thus the
mind of the child is kept in a
Ifemor OF DOUBT, disgust ana GlStuT
bance.
1t is educated to hide dirt behind
doors, under chairs and in dark
corners and conceal it's little acts
of meanness rather than weed them
out of its life. 1t hears the parents
speaking il, meanly, ugly. ef,ne igh:
bors, then welcoming them with
smiles, skisses and compliments.
Thus the child is educated to devel-
op double. .i..
