rowing huband survive and mourn all
the sons and daughters except Ella,
who passed in to the better land June
is. 1895, leaving an infant son to her
mothers charge. Upon this dear boy,
the loss falls heavily Although there
are many others to love and care for
him. none, not even the waiting faith
er, can quite fill the place Of the min
istering soul, that was both loving
devoted mother, and tender, indulgent
grandma to the motherless child. One
brother, John w. Miles, of North Da-
kota, and two half brothers James and
George Harvill. of BagIey. and seven
teen grand children survive also AL
though the end came peacefully, for
some months preceding death Mrs.
Brown was a great sufferer But in
early life she had chosen the bet
ter part which was never taken away.
In the years of early struggle that fell
to her lot. in the rearing of a large
family and when disease laid its re-
lentless hand upon her, in JOY and sor-
row she ever remembered that Thou
for thy self hast made US

And by thy grace hast stayed us
Upon thy word.
Body and soul and spirit-al' these

And bear alike the impress OF owner

A Talk on Advertising from
THE STAR

The newspaper is a huge shop window, carried
about the city and delivered daily into hundreds of
thousands of homes, to be examined at the leisure
of the reader. This shop window is unlike the
actual plate glass showcase only in ope respect-it
makes display of descriptions instead of articles.
You have often been impressed by the differ
ence between the decorations Of two window-trim-
mers, each of whom employed the same materials
for his work. The one drew your attention and held
it by the grace and cleverness and art manifested in
his display. The other realized so little of the pos
sibilities in the materials placed at his disposal that
unless some one called your attention to his bun
Cling you would have gone on unconscious of it's
existence.
An advertiser must know that he gets his results
in accordance with the skill exercised ia preparing
his verbal displays. He must make people stop and
pause. HIS copy has to stand OFT.
He must not only make a show of things that
are attractive to the eye, but are attractive to the
peoples needs as we'll.
The window-trimmer must not make the mis-
take of thinking that the showiest stocks are the
most salable. The advertiser must not make the
mistake of thinking that the shoWlest words are
the most clinching.
Windows are too few in number to be used
with indiscretion. The good merchant puts those
goods back of his plate glass which nine people
out of ten will want after they have seen them.
The good advertiser tells about goods which
nine readers out Of ten will buy if they can be
convinced.
Newspaper space itself is only the window,
inst. as the showcase is but a frame for merchan-
disc nictures. A window on a crowded street in
the best neighborhood, where prosperous persons
mass continually, is more desirable than one in a
cheap. sparsely settled neighborhood

Their is disappointment among the
members of the fire department today
because the Fire Board took no action

she question would be settled.
The proposition is in the hands of
Commissioners Burke and Logan, with
Chief Ashley as adviser.
There was a lively tilt between Com
missioner Weber n William T. Can
non over the latter lending money to a
member of the department. Mr.. Cannon
wanted he board to assist him in get
ting the money, and his remarks on the
subject aroused the ire of Commissioner
Weber. Finally President Gnichtel said
the board was not a collecting agency,
and on his suggestion Mr.. Cannon was
referred to Chief Ashley.

game of yesterday was a winner, not
merely because we won-and, by the
way, cannot o tell that I'm almost
a fan by the a l say we when
speaking of the team?-but because 1t

and danced like as if it was harvest

were going like windmills and l was

my humble answer. The longer I live
the more l realize that the knowledge

boy.
But I'm getting away ahead of my

remark that hat was the first profess

equally s%uperfluous to declare that it
