Ing upon his stool, proceeded to figure
on a scratch block, consulting from
time to time some papers which he had
brought with him.
The cashier waited until he had I'm
ished and placed the papers In a file,
and then he asked: "Was he right in
a sort of way, Johnny?"
The bill clerk scowled at his inter-
rogator with an intensity which should
have forbidden further speech, but the
cashier was unabashed
II wouldn't take 1t so to heart, John

to be right once in while. You are,

that 1t would have been sufficient to
point out the error without making
coarse remarks about the mental ca
pacity Of the man who made It."
''Who told wou that l got a roast

Nobody" replied the cashier. "It
was simply a case of deduction. 1 was
called In this morning myself In refer

are among the best in the world, and
those of Basel are the finest in the re-

equipped with baths. and school bath

Basel Is exclusion from the picture

Merchandising to-day consists In buy
ing in great quantities and then Great
ing market. The old method was to
select what people wanted and then
sell 1t to them.
If you have anything to sell, tell It's
merits with as little. reference to your
rivals goods as possible. Never decry
rival. Human nature Is as contrary
as can be conceived. II a man IL too
much praised we begin to dislike him,
and If another Is too violently attacked
We begin to think that he Is not as
black as he Is painted. 1.-THE Just as
good advertiser is spending money on
his competitor.
Nothing should be remembered %
constantly as the fact that an adver-
tlsement may effect the loss instead of
the acquisition of a customer. This is
the side Of advertising that is almost
universally ignored. As Ruskin says
OF Dore's Illustrations: They are bad
bad with fearful power" All adver-
tisement may not only fail to attract
business, but 1t may be a positive force
to drive 1t away. This IL what makes
the construction Of. an advertisement
a work of skill and experience. How
to attract the greatest number and
avoid alternating any. Involves not only
a fine discrimination Of public feeling,
but decided genius to satisfy 1t.
All advertising experts agree that
newspaper advertising is the most re-
munerative compared with Its cost.
Other devices may offer advantages
over the newspaper, either In attrac-
tiveness or because they are more last
ing than single announcement In a
newspaper would be. or because they
tell more than would ordinarily be put
into a newspaper advertisement by
reason Of the fact that they offer facili-
ties for illustration or for the use Of
a larger space than the advertiser
would care to buy In a well-circulated
newspaper. But there advantages are
all obtainable, either by a larger outlay
or at the cost Of large circulation.

The meaning Of the word graft was
obvious and the element Of humor
noated 1t. At first 1t was slang" now
It IL "colloquial," and pretty soon the
English dictionaries will recognize It
as an "Amerlcanism." The word has
probably come to stay but how about
Its moral tendency ~ 1t Is essentially a
euphemism-a sugar-coated phrase to
designate almost any dishonest act. 1t
II a mild expression to. soften down
penitentiary ofrenses and make fei0nies
look genteel. Does grocery clerk or
butcher boy pilfer from his employ

Does a bank president or cashier rob

Il IL graft. II state officer en-
bezzles public funds or speculates with
public money and loses, 1t Ia graft. If
q contractor and municipal employees
eonspire to rob city, thereby commit

city officials put unfit and dishonest

use their Offices for private gain at the
