ABOUT ADvERj 1Ns-uo. 5 The uI 4ole and the
 Sewer Hole
By Herbert Kaufman.

A coal cart stopped before an office building in Washington and tbe driver disrnounted removed the cover from manhole, out his chute, and pro- ceeded empty the load An old negro stroled over and stood watching him. Suddenly the black man glanced down and immediately burst into "a htNof uncontrolable laughter which continued for several minutes. The driver looked at him in amusement Say, Unc1c' he asked, do you always laugh when you see coal going into cellar The negro sputtered around for few moments and then holding his hands to his aching sides managed to say, "No, sah, bsa jest busts auheu sees it goin doum q scuvr.
 The advertiser who displays lack of judgment in selecting the newspapers (which carry his copy often confuses the sesvr and the cellar.
 All tho money that is put i,to newspapers isn't taken os again by any means The fact that all papers possess certain physical likeness doesn't by any means signify similarity in character, and it ciaroccr in newspaper that brings returns. The editor who conducts journalistic sewer finds different class of readers than the publisher who respects himself enough to respect his readers.
 What goes into newspaper largely determines the class of homes into which the newspaper goes An rresponsble scandal-mongering, undertaking sheet is logically not supported by the buying classes of people. It may be perused by thousands of leaders, but such readers are seldom purchasers of advertised goods.
 It's the cean-cut, steady, normal nninded citizens who form the bone and snew and muscc~of the cop~- munity. It's the sane, self-respccting dependable newspaper that enters their homes and it's the hoe sale that indicates the strcngthsof an1adreFtising medium s-s1 TT TFs
 No clca1l-rninded father of family wishes to have his wife and children brought in contact with the most naudlin and bana phases of life. He defends them from the sensational editor and the unpleasant adver tiser He subscribes tova Uet he docs rot feur to leaUe about the A0usc. s'

CLOSE INSPECTION MADE.

Several months ago officials oi ihs Rock Island Frisco system spent a week at the factory where steel cars are being'made. They wentinto every detail regarding the constFuction of thsm and, after careful consideration. decided to place big order.
 The Rock Island Frisco system Is the first railroad company to adopt the all steel cars west of the Miss issippi The Pennsylvania has been using the cars for several months. and officers of that company claim they have given excellent service The Southern railway experimented with them for some time but never placed aa order.
 It is claimed by the officials of the road that the steel cars are no heavier than the ordinary wood car. the diff ference coming in the light material used in its construction. They also state that the interior finish will be of a imitation cherry, and that large observation windows will be built in cars. because Of the exceptionally strong frame parts around the glass. which makes 1t possible to have a mnch larger window than Is commonly made in a wood car.

MANS FACE ON PANE
OF Glass Badly Excited Mother and
Daughter.

The widow and one of the daugh-
ters of the late Oscar D. Angstadt,
of Reading, Pa, who died last Octo-
ber, are much excited over the ap-
pearance, clear to their vision, of
the picture of the dead man on a
window pane in the room where he
died. 1t first appeared on Sun
day, and they called in some Of the
neighbors to look at it, but none but
the widow and her daughter could
see it.
Insistent that the face was plainly
depicted on the pane, Mrs. Angstadt
and her daugher got Police Sergeant
Gresham to examine the window,
but he was obliged to admit that he
could see nothing.
The women have washed the pane
several times, hut declare that the
face is still visible there. They state
that Mr.. Angstadt, for several weeks
before he died, used to lie in his
bed and look through that window,
and they believed that his face in
some way became photographed
there. They describe the image as
resembling the negative Of photo
graph.

STRANGE PARASITE DISEASE.
Kills Trees by the Thousands In a
Brooklyn Park.

More than 10000 trees in Forest
park, Brooklyn, have been destroyed
since the opening of spring by this
peculiar parasite. OF these $1,000
were chestnut trees. The Brooklyn
park commission is using thousands
of gallons of bermicide in the hope
of preventing the spread of the dis
ease to street trees and other parks.
The attention of the Department
of Agriculture at Washington was
called to this parasite last year, when
it had gained only slight foothold
in this coutry. The department as
signed a number of experts to the
matter, and they reported that the
parasite had been imported, probably
from France, and that in young trees
and shrubs it had been disseminated
throughout a large portion of the
United States.
So far New York New Jersey and
Pennsylvania have been the princi-
nay sufferers, but reports from India
ma, Ohio, Illinois and the trans
Mississippi and the Southwestern
States indicate that the plague IS
in it's incipency there and that heroic
measures must be employed to save
the trees from this pest.
