ADVERTISING THOUGHTS

The business that generally needs advertising the most has it the least.
 If you saw carpenter trying to drive nail into a solid rock you would think that he was little off his whirl, yet don't we see some merchant every day trying to convince the public that he is offering a $1O article for 49c. when the buyer knows very well that the article cost not over 75c per dozen at the start Yet advertising doesn't pay.
 Its subtle persuasion and invisible argument that make the most success full advertisement. As soon as the reader is aware of your arguments he begins to back water The strongest influences are those that draw us un- aWares
 You can't fake genuine personal con viction. It's the most impressive quail ity in advertising. Trying to tell your story as some one else tells it sounds hollow ard flat to the ear of the read CT. Be yourself and believe what you are presenting or "cut it out
 Your advertising does not make the paper, but the paper makes your ad- vertising deliver the goods. When the paper is a dummy of advertisers the time will surely fall when it's competi- ter will hold the upper hand and also the greatest amount of advertising space.
 Keep an ear mark on your advertis ing, so every one can recognize it
 Its dead easy to criticize the other fellow at the grindstone of publicity, but get in and try yourself, things are not always as they seem to the fellow who sits on the fence and rub bers"
 When a reader of an advertisement laughs at some humorous saving in it. he generally puts both hands in his pockets, leans back and hollers But advertisements should be written to remove the hands from out the pockets with a pulling forth of the pocket book. Funny ads never bring about this most desired result
 The best time to advertise is now. today while the other fellow is asleep. Tomorrow never comes to the live bus mess man. He is too busy looking after today
 Good catch lines followed by poor argument remind us of soft heads un- der silk hats.
 The paper that relies upon adver- Using wholly for it's reputation. gen. orally has a combination of reputa- tions. one for every business man with which it has dealings.

A DEMAND FOR WIVES
 IN THE INLAND EMPIRE
Two Thousand Bachelors Are Want ing Home Keepers.

Spokane, Wash, May 9.-(Special Correspondence of The Republican, There are fully 2OOO healthy and fairly well-to-do young bachelors in the Inland Empire, taking in parts of eastern Washington and Oregon, northern Idaho, western Montana and southeastern British Columbia. They want wives. That is if they can find the right ones. All of them are good hearted, kind, affectionate and capable of real love. They say so in letters to Levi Grant Monroe sec retary of the Spokane chamber of commerce, who became interested in the movement when Rev. D. b. Vaughan, pastor of the Halsted Street Institutional church, Chicago. announced that more than 200 girls belonging to his congregation would marry honest men who can make clean money"
 What appeals to me most" said one of the eligibles. "is the fact that the girls are looking for real home makers. They seem agreed that wealth. talent or swell clothes are not absolutely necessary but that
 
 afraid to work. There are hundreds of strapping young men, full Of vim and vigoT. in our forests. mines and railroad camps, grain fields, orchards and factories. All of them have had school advantages. and not few are college men. The majority would marry the right kind of girls and give them life partnerships in good homes.
 While MT Monroe has no desire to figure as Cupid's messenger, he will. however. forward the bachelors letters to Rev. Dr. Vaughan at Chi caEo in the hope that the girls may find their ideal men, as described in responses to the Chicago minister's circulars. Mir. Monroe said this is not to be taken to mean that girls in cities and towns in eastern, mid dle western, southern and Pacific coast states or any part of Canada are barred.
 Nothing of the kind" he added. The bachelors are here; there are 1000 of them, and they want wives"

JOHN |. SAYS HE MADE
 BOXING RESPECTABLE
Stories Told by the Gread Cruiser

l claim-and it will not be denied by any sport who has been wise for the last quarter of a century-that made professional boxing respectable so that decent men were not ashamed to go to a boxing show. l did this by doing all my jobs on the level, and when Teddy was in college doing the gentleman boxing act I was in the limelight, also doing a gentlemans part, even if I did get purses for my end.
 Why when l spared Charley Mitch ell in Madison Square Garden, May IA, 1883, there was the greatest gather ing of high lights in all the profess sions, the 400, and the politicians who were worth while. l noticed Charles A. Dana. the great editor, and United States Senator Roscoe Conkling, in the crowd and if l called off the men who were big toads in the political, social and financial puddles in that day, most of them might have sung out present" that night. MT. Dana and Senator Platt never agreed upon but one thing, and they were so much opposed to one another that one time on d train from Philadelphia to New York, Conkling was about to take the only vacant seat when he discovered that it was next to the one occupied by Dana. Conkling stood up all the way to New York.
 "I agree with Charles A. Dana in nly one thing" said Senator Conkling. and that is that there has never been a fighter to equal John l.. Sullivan. and probably never will be another like him."
 During a swing around the Penn sylvania towns, I was trailed by a horny-fisted fellow who was screwing up his courage to give me a whirl with the gloves. At every stand he'd call me aside and tell me that that night he was going to get up in the audience and dare me to take him on four rounds.
 There never was anything or any body as welcome as you when you are ready" l told him every time. up to the time l got tired.
 Night after night I'd see him in the audience. on the verge of jumping up and getting into the program, but crawfishing at the last When We got to Pittsburg the thing was a chestnut and as he had been throwing out his chest in all the towns where he'd been threatening to arrive. I thought it time to call his bluff He came to me to give me the daily promise about doing the trick that night
 Come up to my room and we'll talk it over" said l.
 We went upstairs and when I got him in. l locked the door and throw ing out some gloves, said to him:
 You'll need some training before you go on with me, and here's where l give it to you"
 He tried to tell me he didn't need any training, but I worIdn't have it.
 Put 'em on. or I'll train you with out gloves and that won't ha so easy"
 I stood him off and clouted him just easy so as to make his face red and his nose bleed a little. and when he was played out I took him by the collar and hoisting him through the door. I told him if I ever again saw him in an audience of mine I'd pull him on the stage and give him tho real stuff. I've not seen him since.

PLAN APARTMENT

Woodley Park.
HARRY WARDMAN

Scheme Is Novel One-Expect
100000 Annually in

alize-and there is every prospect that
they will-Washington will have a 81
100000 stock company organized for
building a 100000 apartment house be-
fore the end of the month.
Intimation of this-the biggest opera-
ton of its kind ever undertaken in the
Capital-was given out today by Harry
WardInan. who has built more apart
ment houses than any other man In
Washington.
Two conditions VIII have to be met be
fore the operation is assured. One Of
them Is the purchase of land from the
Waggaman estate I'm the section known
as ~Woodley Park" for which negotia-
tons are now pending. The other is the
organizing of the stock company. to-

1t is Mr. Wardman's opinion that both
Of these conditions may be substantially
met by the end of the month.
The operation viii not only be the big
gest If It's kind ever undertaken in Wash
ington. but 1t is said the building will
be the costiiest of any apartment house
in any city in the United States, out
side Of New York. The plans contem-
plate 1t yielding 10000 annually in
rents.
When Il became known that Mr.
Wardman was negotiating for the Wag-
gaman property the report was circu-
lated that he intended erecting resi-
dences upon It. II was because of this
report that he gave out the Information
today relative TO the steps being taken
TO build the apartment house.
THE scheme is a novel one" he said.
''and washington will have no other
building like the one we are consider
ing. 1t probably viii not be more than
five stories high, but it will cover almost
an acre OF ground We intend 10 build

to be one of the most famous apartment

The ground on which the building is

the proposed undertaking goes through.
II Is situated in the elevated wooded sec
ton Of "Woodley Park that lies to the
west Of Connecticut avenue just beyond
Rock Creek and south OF WOOdley road
The price Of IL is said 10 be 10000
Mr. Wardman said today no papers In
the negotiations had been signed, and,
before the land could be taken over, a
decree Of sale would have 10 be issued.
He gave as his belief, however, that the
deal would go through, and no difficulty
would be experienced in organizing the
company afterward.
