So the advertising man showed him
what . large check he could write.
and then the business manager said 1t
was possible, and the. next day Mr..
Man had every page in the Daily
Howler There was not q murder, not
a bit of editorial speculation, not

the name and the date and. the sub
scriptiOn price.
And of course there was no adver-
tisement. And that piqued curiosity.
Well. this thing happened next day
and the next, and then on the editorial
page was printed in very small letters.
TRY SORD UST.
Now you may well believe that sub
scribers began to rush in, for here was
a paper that could be introduced into
the most bisoted home in the land.
There were no tiresome politics in it;
no dreadful murders; nothing but
SOrd Ust.
Every one said It was the cleanest
paper that had ever been issued, and
more and more people subscribed to
it, 1t got to he quite a fad. To be
sure, the subscribers did not know
what was going on in the world except
by hearsay, but they had that much
time for other things, and they were,
consequently, far happier. and, read
ing about no murders or steamship
trusts or presidential possibilities.
they finally came to the conclusion
that the millennium was at hand.
But. of course. the thing that made
the most impression on them was this
Sord Ust. They began to inquire for
it in the stores and they found that
no one kept it. No one had ever
heard of it. 1t was impossible to buy
box of it anywhere because the
clever advertising man had given or
ders to his employer to refuse to sell
it for at least six months.
People did not even know whether
it was a new kind of soap, or a break
fast food, or the latest thing in stove
polish.
What was the result? Why. people
were mad to get it. They would have

it. The very idea that In . free coun-
try they were not allowed to buy any
thing they wanted. Was this Maine
with a prohibitive law on something
the people really wanted?
And all this time the editor of the
Daily HOwler kept on increasing his
edition, and all the time Mr.. Wise
went on buying sawdust and cheap
molasses until he had whole county
in northern New York heaped high
with it and five large mills hard at
work COMPRISING it into cakes.
And at last. seemingly on account OF
the pressure of public opinion, but
really because the advertising man
said it was high time, Mr.. Wise put
an advertisement on the first page of
the Daily Howler to the effect that
Sord list was a breakfast food, and
that all you need do to it was to pour
little hot milk on it; and if your
grocer wouldn't get 1t for you change
your grocer at once!
Was it success?
Well, l guess.
Why. they had one long freight train
stretched from the mills to New York,
moving all the time on special track
and as fast as a car was unloaded at
the Manhattan end a car was filled at
the other end
Motive power? Electricity, of course.
And the man became a millionaire
ten times over before the year was
up and before the Sord Ust had kicked
up any racket in the insides Of the
populace.
And now the advertising man be-
gan to advertise in all the papers, and
the Daily Howler came before its
millions of subscribers with murders
and editorials once more, and they.
after their long fast. were only too
glad 10 learn that the world was not
as good as they had suspected, and
tie Daily Howler was bigger sue
cess than ever.
But the editor had got the tip. and
he didn't use SOrd Ust on his home
menu. And he's alive yet.
