There is a COED deal of art In adver
Using, and 1t has to be adapted to the
public it seeks to meet. Edward
Reeves in Brown Men and Women"
makes clear that what attracts the
American market may not serve that
purpose In the islands Of the south
seas. He tells an experience which a
food firm had with one of those sea
grit communities. The natives get
very tired Of fish, but are fond Of
canned beef, which they buy when
ever they have money. That they are
nothing more than children in their
ideas the traders find out to their cost
If they are not careful An exporter
Of canned meat was nearly ruined by
clinging to the trademark Of drag
on's head. Shipment after shipment
was sent out from San Francisco, each
can branded with the flaming dragon
The natives shuddered at the sight OF
the hideous thing. They were not go
ing to eat the disgusting beast In
vain the agents tore Off the labels; the
natives were suspicious and would not
buy. The whole shipment had to be
returned and put in fresh cans with a
fat OK or sheep on the label. All the
natives fully believed that the figure
on the label was a true picture of what
was inside.

Persuasion.

DR.. A. is a specialist in nervous all

persuasion" has played an important
role. Six-year-old Frank has evident
ly had opportunity to imbibe his ia

sion, which, Dr. A contends, appeals
to the highest psychic functions.
1t was only few mornings ago that
Mrs. A. overheard an alteration In
the kitchen between Master Frank and
the cook. Mary's voice rose in loud
protestations. Mrs. A. FASTENED to the
scene and arrived just In time to see
her son seize a convenient broom and
threaten Mary.

Mortified amazement, "what are you

The Rinht Hand Seats.

The Philadelphia Record quoted an
observant street car conductor to the
effect that the right hand seats are al
ways filed first He could not account
for this except on the theory that, as
most persons are right handed and ac-
customed to turning to the right, it
might be simply force Of habit.
"There is another probable reason
which he did not think Of" says the
Record. at is generally believed that
the right side of car is safer. An
old traveller once said to the writer
In travelling always sit In the middle
Of car and on the right hand side.
The middle is safer than the ends In
collision, and the right side is not
likely to be side swiped" by project
ing objects on trains, cars or any We
hicles passing on the adjacent track"

TUESDAY, MARCH 80, 1903

DURING speech in the House OF Assem-
bly,, on Thursday, Mr.. Nichols, OF Salem
made an astounding statement. 1t was In
connection with an attempt, on the part OF
a member from Sussex, to have the salary
of the Judge in that county increased.
The remarkable discovery of Mr.. Nichols
was that 'there are just as able men on
the bench az on 1t. and when there 10 Q
vacancy there are always twenty lawyers
ready for the job" He might have gone
further and said that in many cases OF
vacancy 1t Is hard work to get the right
man out of the twenty applicants, mainly
because the salary is not sufficient t0
tempt lawyers to give up practice, which
Is required 30 far as their own jurisdiction Ii
concerned and which 1t Is proposed shall
be general rule. None OF the judges OF
New Jersey are paid any too much for the
service they render.

He Qheyad.

Murat Halstead, the great journalist
of war times, went to General William
T. Sherman's headquarters once for
the --latest news from the front" Hal
stead was armed with many fine intro
ductory letters, but decided to rely
mainly on one given him by Thomas
Ewing, Sherman's brother-in-law. He
found the general and presented
Ewing's letter. The general opened it
somewhat impatiently, read a few
lines, folded 1t and said:
"Ah, you come from Ewing, and you
desire to have all the latest news the
next probable move of our army, ehY
Well, there's a train leaving this town
for Cincinnati at o'clock Here, take

We SHOULD avoid soaring people to
death If possible. Report comes from
Philadelphia that resident of that city
became impressed with all that he had
read and heard about tuberculosis. and
was daily visitor at the tuberculosis
show. He became so affected that he
could not talk with the members OF his
family about anything else but the disease
and its treatment, with the result that he
became easily depressed. and finally
manifested many symptoms of the plague.
The final result was suicide. Since the
agitation Of the subject of tuberculosis
began In Trenton, we are told that physi-
clans have been called upon by frightened
persons for diagnoses in numbers. and that
majority Of them had lungs as sound as
blacksmith's bellows. There Is reason
able doubt that this widespread hullaboo
about tuberculosis is not accomplishing
all the good aimed at.-St0te Gazette.

YOUR 1909 ADVERTISING

If it is to appear in Philadelphia should
be placed In THE PHILADELPHIA Press,
The Great Home Newspaper of Philsdel-
phia. The advertiser In the Daily Press
makes the most direct appeal 1t is possible
to make to the purchasing power of Phila
delphia, because The Press is the paper
that goes into the majority of the better
class of homes 1t Is the paper the
wife insists upon having. 1t is the paper
the thoughtful parent puts into the hands
of son and daughter. 1t is the paper the
men of the household want for its depend
able news. Its character, its prestige. its
reliability-are the reasons why There's
no scattered-shot circulation, no hit-or-
miss advertising with The Press There's
no guess-work either about the Press cir
culation; it is the one morning paper in
Philadelphia which issues a detailed state
ment sworn to. The present rate of THE
PHILADELPHIA Press, for the quantity aud
quality of its circulation, makes 1t the
biggest value in advertising in Philadel-
phia. For rates, etc.. write to The PHILA-

ONE of the quickest dispositions Of q
murder case was made yesterday, when
Harry Shailor, of Gloucester City, was
before Judge Garrison, charged with kill
ing his father last December. The pris
oner pleaded non vult, the Prosecutor &C
cepted the plea and the Judge sent the
man to the state prison for30 years. Prose
cutor Scovel said he was not willing to
press for the mans life under the circum-
stances that came to his notice. ShailoI
has been addicted to drink since he was
eight years Of age. and he has kept up
the practice ever since so that his facul
ties have become dulled and deadened.
The willingness of the Prosecutor to &C
cept the plea of the prisoner was the re-
suit of consultations with eminent spe-
cialists who examined the man and who
said that they did not believe he
was in mental condition at the time he
committed the crime to be fully cogni-
zant of what he was doing or of the con-
sequences of his act.

RATHER than face impeachment pro-
ceedings, yet protesting his innocence,
Manfred Naar, Trenton Justice of the
Peace, has resigned his office. 1t is rather
peculiar how men who are SO confident
that they haYe not done anything wrong are
10 willing to give up easily. In one case
demand is made for the return Of money
supposed to be unlawfully in possession,
and not only is the desired amount hand
ed over, but considerable margin is put
up. In another instance resignation of
q good position Is handed In, not because
the holder of the place fears anything
being proven against him, but simply be-
cause he suddenly discovers that it takes
too much of his time. If innocent, the
most natural thing in the world would be
to say that not penny would be return
ed until 1t was clearly proven to be due,
or that resignation would not be given
on the ground that removal was to be
made on account of wrongdoing. The
innocent man has nothing to fear from
the most searching investigation.

Observations on Raldheads

"Tf you care to observe the bald
headed row." remarked the theater
goer, "you will find that there is great
variety in baldheads. There are clip
teal bald spots, circular bald spots,
elongated egg shaped bald spots, bald
spots that are almost square and bald
spots whose shape can hardly be de-
scribed for the reason that they in
clude the entire circumference Of the
head, with the exception perhaps of. a
slight row of finishing fringe between
the head and the neck. If it wasn't for
the baldheads the theater would be a
bore before the rising Of the curtain"

bate the measure was put to sleep by the
vote of IA against to in favor. The re-
suit was not unexpected as canvass OF
the Senate had shown that the bill had no
