PROFITABLE NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.

PROFITABLE NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.
Profitable advertising seems to be
an art which has not yet been dis
covered by some people. That is,
the practical part of it. A constant
stream of water from one or more
fire engines will soon extinguish or
get under control very large fire,
while a few bucketfuls of water,
dashed on here and there, have very
little effect. The modern fire depart
ment is practical, and has outgrown
the bucket system; and so with
modern advertising-plenty of it,
used in a practical, common-sense
and judicious manner, pays. 49,
If you want to catch a certain
kind of fish, you use certain kind
of bait. Not all fish bite at all kinds
of bait. Not all people respond to
every advertisement. The newspaper
is a medium indispensable to the
majority of advertisers, becauseof its
wide and repeating circulation. AS a
promoter of trade and profit news.
paper advertising is no longer an
open question; that is, when done in
a practical and intelligent manner,
and pays because of it's effectiveness
and cheapness.

In the possible higher price of hides
in order to help destroy a trust
"How about the leather trust?" in
CURED Senator Warren. Continuing,
he said before the beef trust came
into being hides were so cheap that
farmers could not market them.
Now, he added, hides bring a higher
price and shoes are not higher in
price.
If we can get two trusts by the
ears and knock their heads together
I think that is the better way" sug-
gested Mr.. Warren, who could see no
advantage in placing hides on the
free list to injure one trust while the
other would thrive by the action.

POLICE SEEKING
MISSING CHINESE
Wanted in Connect With
New York Murder.
DEVELOPMENTS In CASE

One Of the ceiestiais Wanted
Several Thousand Letters From
American Women Found in Room
Of One of the orientaIs.
New York, June Messages have
been sent by the police to Colon and
Panama to hold up the party of Chi
nese who left this city week age
en- route to Vancouver, B. G., in the
hope of arresting Leong Lee Lin
alias William H. Leon, who occupied
the room in Eighth avenue in which
was found the trunk containing the
body of Miss elsie sigel, missionary
among the local Chinese, and grand
daughter of the famous general, Franz
Sigel.
The police discovered that Leong
Lee Lin started for Vancouver, via
Panama, week ago, the day on
which he was last seen at his room
over the Eighth avenue chop suey
restaurant. In the party for Van
couver is said to be also Ii Chung
who occupied the room adjoining that
which revealed the gruesome tragedy
and in which was found some of the
murdered girls clothing. Orders were
issued to arrest him also. From the
condition of the body and other facts
it is believed the crime was commit
ted at least week before the body
was found.
From Mrs. Margaret Todd, a mis-.
sionary. who first introduced Miss
S1gel into the work of converting the
residents of Chinatown to Christian.
ity, the police learned that while the
young woman taught Leong Lee Lin
the creed of Christ he at the same
time learned to love her.
Only Twenty Years Of Age.
Miss Sigel had been engaged in mis-.
sfonary work among the Chinese OF
this city for few years, having be.
come interested therein by the &C.
tivity Of her mother In behalf of the
Characterization of the Orientals. The
young woman was about twenty years
old.
Mrs. Florence Todd, one of the mis-.
sionary workers in the Chinese sec.
ton, who identified Miss Sigel's body
told the police that the girl and Leon
had been thrown much together for a
few years and that Leon was greatly
enamoured of the girl; that he was
intensely jealous of her and disliked
her to receive the attentions of other
men. This had caused Miss Sigel to
fear Leon, Mrs. Todd said.
That Leon had other correspondents
than Miss Sigel was discovered when
between 1900 and 1000 letters, main.
ly from various women in New York
and other cities, were found in his
room.
Among the number were some
signed 'Elsie," which were described
by the police as love letters. The
contents of most Of them was not re.
vealed by the police, but in one of
them Elsie" reproached Leon for
causing trouble between her father
and herself "Just think of the sac.
rifice have made for you," she wrote
In one letter.
A notebook belonging to Leon, con.
tanning the names and addresses of
hundreds of women and girls, was
found in Icons room.
