Of Secrets
In Store Advertising!

One of the wisest of men
wrote:
Suffer any person to tell
us his story, morning and
evening, for but a twelve
month, AND HE WILL BE-
COME OUR MASTER!"
In the above sentence we
have, in a nutshell, the IN
NERhlOST SECRET OF
SUCCESSFUL ADVERTiS-
FREQUENCY, and PER-
slsTENCy, and UNvARYING
CONTINUITY in the telling Of
the Story OF the store or en-

other things to be sad of
successful advertising, but
in the above quotation is
found the real philosophy,
the real secret.

Samuel II. Jones, prominent citi-
zen of Monmouth died at his home,
very suddenly, of heart disease, Thurs
day, May Ii. Mr.. Jones was born in
Monmouth May 2, 1886, the youngest
Of family of Is children. In his

years in Searspcrt, Portland and Lew

to the time of his death. In 1874, he
was appointed postmaster and held
the office for many years. He married
Miss Helen Moody, of Winthrop, who
survives him. The only other member
of his immediate family now living is
a brother, E. F. Jones, of this place.
Mr. Jones was man of genial. though
quiet nature, hearted and kind,
and will be greatly missed by all who
knew him. His upright character and
integrity in business won for him the
highest esteem of all. The funeral

The Drummer Without a Hand.

with Memorial day 50 near there is
interest in this war time poem written by
the late Rev. T. S. Perry, Maine man
and a BOwdoin graduate, who was then
a cleri, in Washington. 1t was contribu-
ted to the Portland Transcript for which
MI Perry wrote many beautiful verses.
The hero of this poem was M. c. War
rem a drummer boy from Rome, Kenne-
bee county, Maine, who served in the 10Th
Me. Inf.l
He stands amid his fellows there,
The spruce boys OF the band,
Drumming away with martial zeal
God help him, but neither hand!
Yet he taps his drum with as true
stroke
And as much of a soldierly will,
AS if the hands were still his own
lie left at Charlottesville.
His sticks are strapped to the pitiful
stumps,
The stumps that once We're wrists;
Look at him. We who staid ut home
With two stout arms and lists!
His form SO slight, his eye. 50 bright,
His good drum rolling still,
AS at daWnirg gray that morning IN May
On the field of Charlottesville.
Both hands gone! both hands gone!
Does he envy his comrades slain?
Where did he come from! Rome tneS sty
Rome in the State Of Maine.
Why smile as if noble deeds must needs
With the waning centuries wane?
One hand for his land gave Scaevola,
The drummer has given twain
Young and fair with never hand,
All me. it's d piteOuS sight;
How will his mother welcome her boy
Coming home from the fight
Will Il sister, with a sisterly grief ana
pride,
Hang on that manned arm?
Oh for a grasp to meet ana clasp
His fathers outstretched palm!
Both hands gone, both hands gone!
Ills glorious sight to see
Orders and ribbons and crosses and stars,
What for these care he!
Fairer the cruel scars he wears
For Freedom and Fatherlami,
Nor nober name need ever claim
The Drummer without a Hand.

Making the Summer Longer.

. Oath independently
There are some people VINO beileVc
that if summer hotel and boarding
house people in Maine made an effort
to increase the length of the vacation
season that it could eventually be ac-
complis:led. AS it is now there are
not much more than two months OF
The resort season, July and August.
This makes it so short that 1t is not
as profitable as it might be. BY ad-
yertising the beauties of Maine in the
months of June and September there
are some, and good many at that,
who would take their vacations here
during those months. OF course a
good many people can be out only
while the schools are closed but there
are many others who can take vaca-
tions in June or September as well as
IN July and August and if Names at
fractions during the first two men
toned months were advertised promi-
nently many of them would do SO.

The "rwister. Season in the West.

A valued Western exchange which
comes to our desk, the Iowa State
Register and Leader, hopefully in
ferns it's readers that the tornado sea-
son is almost half ended for this year.
Already many destructive cyclones or
"twisters," as they are commonly
termed. have swept over the middle
section of the country from the Great
Lake region and the Northwest down
to the Gulf, with their accompanying
loss of life and property. This sort Of
thing is something of which we know
almost nothing here in the East, ex-
cept from the newspaper accounts, but
it is something which fills life in parts
of the great West and the South with
an ever present and horrible dread
These cyclones and tornadoes occur
each year and there is such a regu-
iarity in the annual schedule of these
great atmospheric disturbances that
TIE insurance companies are usually
able to estimate with a fair degree of
accuracy the sum that will be needed
to cover loss from this cause from
year to year. 1t has been reduced to
scientific basis, like fire insurance
ard life insurance.
It is held by the scientists that the
cutting of the forests in the United
States had increased the number of
| cyclones within the last twenty or
| thirty years is generally accepted
| fact. However, even before the TIM
| Der land of the country had been
| touched with an ak, heavy blows were
| of frequent occurrence between the
months of April and August. The
| United States signal service has COM
| piled set of interesting statistics or
| ''twisters' of the last century. In a
| hundred years it has been ascertained
| that at least 600 genuine cyclones have
| doubtlessly too low, it being mani
| testify impossible to secure authentic
| data covering the period before th1
| weather bureau was established. Oi
| this recorded 600 storms, however 81
| took place in April, 81 in May, lis ir
June and 80 in July. BY this means
at least, the cyclone season is ratiiel
| accurately defined, even if it is i'm.
| possible to judge the actual increase
of storms during the period covered.

1t is very doubtful if any degree of
success rewards the commissioners
from Liberia who are in this country
seeking to draw immigrants from our
negro population. Their scheme of in
viting colonists is different in spirit
and principle from the deportation
schemes which have been suggested
by southern whites who want to get
rid Of the negro, but it is hardly likely
that it will prove much more popular.
To be sure, Liberia is a genuine negro
republic and the ballot there, instead
of being denied to the colored man, is
reserved exclusively for him. but there
are few things in Liberia to draw even
the most unfortunate and abused col
ored classes from this country. 1t is
the hottest section Of the world and
the natural resources are little devel-
oped. The commission will have
hard time to persuade negroes to leave
the United states FOR sucn country.

Crowdins Rooms and Pupils.
(pi6dnfnrd TOilrnHl)

The Portland Advertiser is pruning
a series of pictures illustrating the
crowded condition of the Portland
schools, entire classes being shown
seated in poorly lighted and badly ven
tilated corridors and dressing rooms.
The exhibit should inspire the citizens
of Names chief city to provide more
comfortable quarters for their emil
dren. And after this series is conciud-
ed, it would be good idea for our
contemporary, or some equally enter
prsing newspaper to print pictures
showing how the heads of the children
are being over-crowded by the de-
mands of the so-called up-to-date
course of study in our primary and
preparatory schools.

They are still smashing trans-Atlan-

often of late that the latest perfor-
nance of the Lusitania is attracting
much less attention than her earlier
voyages. On her trip across the At
lantic last week she broke three rec
ords, first, for the shortest time: sec
ond for the best days run; and third.
for the highest average speed. Her
average speed of 24.Sa knots works out
at 2S.l5 geographical miles an hour.
