il PAYS 10 Discriminate.

The paper which establishes a high
character for its advertisements is the
paper which in time wins standing
with both readers and advertisers,
and is able to secure higher rates than
the paper which takes anything and
everything. An eastern publication
which has made striking success OF
its advertising columns has as its rule
that only the good. clean sort of ad-
vertising is accepted" IF your goods
are the best of their kind and of the
right kind" the paper announces. the
ads will be accepted" And because
the paper has established this high
standard and has lived up to it, il can
truthfully claim that this "is why re-
suits are always big in proportion to
advertising cost"

odd Incident o. New Years Eve.

You never can tell what is in q
mans heart. On New Years eve a
rollicking party went TO a cafe which
overlooks the Hudson. They were
primed for noise. They created so
much Of It that their company was
not desirable and they we're informed
politely that the table at which they
sat had been engaged previously They
took the hint and got out. AS they
were leaving they purchased all the
flowers they could and hurried their
car along the drive until they reached
solitary grave about which so much
has been written. They laid the flow
ers on the grave Of IAN Amiable
Child" and returned to their car. Then
they resumed their shouting and made
the atmosphere resound with song
and shout.-New York Press

HIS WAS A NATURAL ERROR.
Airship Is Mistaken for His Satanic
Majesty by Negro.

A group Of aeronauts were telling
balloon stories in the smoking room
OF Chicago hotel. Capt. r. E. Honey
we'll, who, with the Fielding-Antonio
balloon was later to break all long
distance records, laughed and said:
"The great Elyot made a balloon
ascent from Charleston one hot sum
mer afternoon. A thunderstorm came
up. Elyot, amid buckets Of rain, the
roar of thunder and the fash of light
ming, was blown about like thistle
down. On toward midnight he found
himself over a plantation and threw
out his anchor-a grapnel at the end
of long rope. sh
1T happened that a colored man
had died in one of the huts OF this
plantation. The funeral was to take
place in the morning. A dozen friends
of the dead man sat in the soft sum-
mer night before the hut telling ghost
stories.
Suddenly in the darkness above
them, they heard strange noises-a
fapping as of great wings, menacing
cries. And they saw dimly formless
black shape.
"All but one man ran. This one
man, as he covered on his stool, had
the i'll luck to be seized by the crap
mel.
"The grapnel, going at great
pace. whirled him up four or five feet
in the air and jerked him along at the
rate Of Is miles or so an hour.
'Oh, massa, massa, he yelled
sduirming and kicking in that strange
fight, Use not de one! Use not de
cawpse! Dicks in de house dahl In

An Anti-Ant Building.

Reinforced concrete is the material
which will be used almost exclusively
in the construction of the new gov
arnment buildings to be erected by the
United States at San Juan, Porto Rico,
for use as postoffice, courthouse and
custom house Wood is to be prac
tically excluded from the structure,
the only place about the building
where wood will be employed will be
in the window sashes on one side OF
the edifice. The interior doors will be
rattan. The reason why wood is being
avoided by the government in this
case is because there is a small ant
indigenous to the island of Porto Rico
which eats its way up through wooden
chairs, doors and desks and makes
them spongy on the inside.-Cement

A great deal of money is expend-
ed every year in the replacing OF
pipes, castings, radiators, flrepots and
similar articles which are rendered
wholly useless by reason of the devel-
opment Of soft or spongy spot or by
blowholes or sandholes. 1t is now pos
sible to repair such defects by means
of a compound resembling in appear
ance powdered iron, which is mixed
with water and applied like putty al
the defective places. 1t is said TO be
proof against the action of chemicals
and heat and steam pressure. and the
claim is made that it metalizes and be-
comes part Of the metal to which il
is applied.

Of an old colored woman in Alabama
whose extreme age and helplessness
we're such that her neighbors felt

tor all such attentions, and never
failed to express her gratitude there

not sufficiently thank the son OF an
old friend who had brought her some

The Texas Brewers association has
set aside a fund Of 100000 to be given
to charity If the brewers do not prove
that more intoxicants are sold in pro-
hibition sections and states than in
sections and states where the sale Of
liquor is legalized OF course, this is
done in good faith, and, of course, the
brewers everywhere are figting pro
hibition, not because it reduces the
sale OF their product. but because they
have an ingrained and ineradicable
horror of breaking the laws--as every
body knows With their well appre-
ciated quality of never breaking the
laws-when it is easier to not break
them-the brewers oppose the enact
ment of prohibitory laws. They stand
ready to prove that they do break the
law successfully in prohibition states
but they would rather sell legally al

A man on his first visit to st. An
irews (Scotland) golf links, was much
impressed by the high standard OF ef-
iciency which he saw displayed on
he greens by those with whom he
played. He studied the actions of these
heroes to see If he could discover any
common feature in their methods. AT
last he saw light. He observed that
they all held the left hand more under
The club when putting than they did
when driving.
From this he deduced rule of con
duct-"see the finger nails of the left
hand when addressed to the ball" For
the rest of his stay, and 1t may be for
some time afterward, his own putting
improved considerably.
