Little Talks on Advertising.

John Wauamaker says: "Il there is one enterprise OH earth that 'quitter' should leave alone it is advertising. To make sue cess of advertising one must be prepared to stick like barnacle on boats bottom. He should know before he begins that he must spend money-lots of it. Somebody must tell him also that he cannot hope to reap results commensurate with his expendi- ture early in the game. Advertis- ing don't jerk; it pulls. It begins very gently at first, but the pull is steady. It increases day by day and year by year, until it exerts an irresistible power.'

Thornton jenkins Hains who is charged
with being principal with his brother,
Capt. ePter G. Hains, In killing William
4. Annis, having had the case under
consideration since 4;55 yesterday af-
ternoon. The only intimation Of their
stand in the matter was a statement
made By the respondents attorney, Mr..
Mcintyre, Just before noon today that
he had learned they stood ten to two
for acquittal Earlier in the day it was
stated that they stood to 3 for ac-
quittal.
After the jury had been out all
night Judge Crane at $3.50 this morning
received a request from them to have
the testimony Of John Tierncy, a gar
.bage man and witness for the defense
read for them. as well as the testimony
of Capt. Clark and DIR. Mcbride, wit
nesses for the state. After this had
been done they again retired, at which
time the rumor was current that only
three votes wero lacking to assure the
acquittal Of the respondent.
A disagreement of the jurors was
what Hains had fearGi, as he stated
his belief when they retired yesterday
afternoon that he did not think he
would be convicted In fact, he hoped
for acquittal although there might be
a disagreement. His attorney had
thanked Judge Crane for the fairness
of the charge to the jury.

morrow; but the patrons OF the Bon
Air hotel who have been looking for
ward to hot contest at golf between
President elect Taft and the oil trust
ma gnate are doomed to disappoint-
ment. There win be no golf game be-
tween Rockefeller and Taft
The trouble arises chiefly from the
fact that the great John D. has been
represented as not having sufficient golf
ambition TO carry him around the en-
tire eighteen holes of the Bon Air
course The gossip here is that at the
ninth hole he sighs wearily and quits.
Mr.. Taft win not play with any man
who does not make the entire course.
He is golfer Of purest ray serene, and
in the prospect of starting from the
first the only TO pay the caddy at the
ninth hole has no charms for him.
While this In the principal reason
why the long awaited game between
Taft and Rockefeller is destined never
to be played, there are some wise poll
ticians here who say that, anyway, the
president elect is not overanxious teo
be held up to the country as chasing
around the links with the oil king.
This morning Judge Taft played a
game in the rain, and said he enjoyed
it. This afternoon he will receive

Green consented TO return to Vermont
without extredition papers, and the

Green was taken into city court last
night and arraigned but no plea waa
made. Bail was fixed at $500 and was
covered by satisfactory securities SO
that the respondent was allowed to so.

WAS given on February 6, 1905, and it
