BOUT lDIEKTiSING-N The Doctor W hose
 Patients Hang On
By Herbert Kaufman.

Out in China all things are not topsy turvy. Phyicians are paid for Keeping beoble eoeN and when their patients fall i'll their weekly salary check isstopped. The Chinese judge medical man not by the number of years he lives, but by the length of time his clients survive.
 An advertising medium must be judged in the same way. The fact that it has age to its credit isn't so important as the age of Hs adver- tising bat1onage Whenever a newspaper con- tinues to display the store talk of the same es- tablishment year after year, it's pretty sure sign that the merchant has made money out of that newspaper, because no publication can continue to be losing investment to its cus- toners over stretch of time without the fact being discovered And when a newspaper is able to boast of an honor roll of stores that have continued to appear ln its pages for stretch of decades it has byoven its superiority as plainly as a mountain peak which rises above its fellows.
 The combination of stability and progress is the strongest virtue that newspaper can pos sess.

THE SORROWFUL TREE.
Its Flowers Open at Night and Clos.
With the Dawn of Day.

Its Flowers Open at Night and Close
With the Dawn of Day.
There is a tree in Persia to which
the name the sorrowful tree" is given
perhaps because it blossoms only in
the evening. When the first star ap-
pears in the heavens the first bud of
the sorrowfuI tree opens. and as the
shades of night advance and the stars
thickly stud the sky the buds continue
gradually opening until the whole tree
looks like one immense white flower
On the approach of dawn. when the
brilliancy of the stars gradually fades
in the light of day. the sorrowful tree
closes its flowers, and ere the sun is
fully risen not a single blossom is Wis
ible A sheet of flower dust as white
as snow covers the ground around the
foot of the tree. which seems blghted
and withered during the day. while
however. it is actively preparing for
the next nocturnal festival. The fra
GRANGE of the blossoms is like that of
the evening primrose.
If the tree is cut down close to the
roots a new plant shoots up and at
tains maturity in an incredibly short
time.
In the vicinity of this singular tree
there usually grows another which Is
almost an exact counterpart of the sor-
rowful tree but less beautiful, and
strange to say, 1t blooms only In the
daytime

AND MEN TODAY.

A dispatch received from St. Louis
states that in that city today Employ

the efforts of the National Prosperity
association and that seventeen thous-
and five hundred men resumed work.
The dispatch further states that
through the efforts of this association
the manufacturers of st. Louis now
have on hand orders aggregating five
millions Of dollars.
Several weeks ago the National
Prosperity association of St. Louis re-
quested the Richmond Commercial
club to join in the movement and
boost prosperity. This matter was
referred to a special committee. which
last week made its report recommend
ing that the club not join in the
movement One member of the com
mittee stated that he thought the
movement was a political scheme. 9th
ers thought it was a fraud and others
thought it was an effort to make the
business men and everyone else fool
themselves into thinking" that the
times were good.

ECCENTRIC STAMPS.
5unders That Bring Joy to the Hearts
of PhiIateIists.


The fascination Of stamp collect
ing" said a postal official, lies in the
rare finds which are continually made
and the curious points which some
times make a stamp Of the face value
of a few pence worth hundreds of
pounds. For instance, the twopence
blue Mauritius stamp which the Prince
of Wales bought at public auction for
fl $50 was unique in one respect-the
proper wording on it, Post Paid Mauri-
thus had by a strange error been al
tered to Post Office Mauritius.'
another stamp which has been
priced at several hundred pounds is
valuable for the mere misspelling Of a
single word. 1t IS British Guiana Is
sue worth just l cent, but 1t IS sought
after by all collectors because the word
'Patimusque' figures on 1t instead OF
'Petimusque.'
Again. a one penny Cape Of Good
Hope stamp changed hands the other
day for nearly 200 simply because in
stead of being red. as are all the others
of this issue, it's color was blue.
Some years ago in Western Australia
a few stamps were printed with the fig
ure of swan upside down upon them.
When the mistake was detected the is
sue was hastily destroyed. Several
specimens had escaped. and one of
them has been sold for 0"-London
