Well, | think that's pretty hard
On a chap that earns his living
AS a daily paper bard.
Let's apply for an injunction
Goodness knows it's that or bust,
Cause we can't face competition.
With the Mark Twain humor trust.
let us workers form a union;
Let's do something right away;
Or this trust will dictate to us
And cut down our weekly pay.
It will furnish brand-new humor
At rate we can not meet
That Is, II we ever hope to
Have good square meal TO eat.
| suppose 1t will absorb us,
Or just siply make us quit
For without the Mark Twain trade
mark
Nothing will be deemed as wit,
Twill reduce the price OF verses,
Cut in Twain the cost of Jokes.
That's boon to those who pay us,
But it's tough on us poor folks.
All our lives we've gaily jested
At tyrannical combines.
Now, my brethren, we must fare one
Let's draw close our tn, stsned

II he will not do WHAT'S right,
We will scorn to make concessions

WIRELESS TELEPHONE. !
a New Wonder Of the Twentieth Cen
''s tpry.


Prof. FeEsen,ien began his work upon
the problem of wireless telephony In
1898, while carrying on his investiga-
tiops in wireless telegraphy. At this
time scientists had developed three
distinct methods of sending electro
magnets waves off into space from
tall mast, or atenna, as It is technIc-
ally termed. a Experiments showed
that none of these methods would do
for telephony They gave single waves,
separated by distinct intervals. This
was not harmful for wireless telegra-
ply. where signals consist of a series
of clicks; but such single waves were
useless for transmitting words. the
continuity of which must not be bro
ken. He decided that what was needed
was a means for producing long trains
of waves. and devised apparatus fo.
this purpose. Prof. Fessenden sur
mounted the difficulties. says Har-
per's Weekly, and designed a machine
which would give the desired electrical
results. and 1t is now in use. the ro-
tating field making 10000 revolutions
per minute. and has for weeks been

6 @ G o O @ @ @ @ o o o o @ o O

Some merchants-a!ways the men
VIII have never given newspaper ad-
yertising a fair trial-go on the theor-
les that 1T does not pay to advertise,
or 1T does not pay to advertise when
business Is dull" or ut does not pay
to advertise in sumner or winter"
Against these false theories is placed
the actual experience Of one of Phila.
delphia's most successful merchants,
Thomas II. Martindale, president of the
Trades League, who in a recent ad'
dress before the Mercantile Associa-
tion of Wilmington, Delaware, had this
to say about advertising:
mo business Is successful without
advertising. No matter how success.
full your business you will go back the
moment you cease to advertise. The
moment you stop you will be forgotten
My firm annually spends $4,000 in the
local newspapers. We used TO expend
the money on poster and billboard ad
vertlsing, but we found the newspape,
was 'rhe correct medium. Therefore
let me advise you merchants. IL you
want 10 be successful, patronize VIII
mington newspapers. for they are fol
Wilmington, and they deserve youl
support. You should advertise in the
daily newspapers not for one day, but
every day. Don't mind the weather
Advertise winter and summer Ad
vertise."
The recent Christmas week jusi
closed was the most successful in the
history of the Guthrie merchants ant
st was due to the fact that heaGier ad
vertlsing was used than heretofore
Constant hammering will win, anc
/ there is no better time to hammer
