BENEFICIAL CHANGES
 IN THE MAIL SERVICE DELAYED MAIL GETS HERE
 MUCH EARLIER Northern Mail Reaches Its Destination
 Day Sooner.

Within the past few days several changes have been made in the local mail service that adds much to it's ef- ficiency In the first place, the addi- tional train from Maricopa in the aft ernoon practical guarantees that the morning train will be on time. Previ- Uus to the running of this extra train, the morning one was often late on ac- count of having to wait for the main line train number three. Now when three is late, the afternoon train brings in the mail and passengers Up to few days ago when this happened the mail was taken on to Phoenix and returned to Tempe in the evening instead of being dropped off here when the train passed through at 2:50. This was brought to the attention of Chief Clerk Moore of the railway mail service and was at once corrected. MT. Moore has issued an order that causes the mail to be dropped at Tempe in such instances, thereby getting it here three hours and a half earlier
 Another change that benefits the public is in relation to the northbound mail to points in the northern part of the territory. Heretofore all mail that was dropped in the Tempe office for northern points after the five o'clock mail had gone to Phoenix, was dis patched from the Tempe office the next morning, but arrived in Phoenix too late to connect with the north bound train, consequently not going out until the next morning Another order issued by Mir Moore corrected this. All such mail is now made up in the evening and dispatched the next morning all sorted and pouched and ready for the northern train, making a good connection and reach ing its destination one day earlier

 Altogether the New Perfection" is a stove of wonderful utility. Its ex- tremely handsome appearance sets off any kitchen to full advantage. It is superior to the hot coal range. no mat ter what the point of comparison may be,or whether regarded as a summer stove only or as a stove for year round use.
 Another household article of unusual convenience is the Rayo Lamp. a sci entifically constructed lamp that will adOrn any rOom-whether library, parlor. dining-room or bedroom. The RayO Lamp gives a mellow. steady light that does not tire the eyes. Its center draft burner, of the latest de- sign. and it's fine porcelain shade, make it a lamp of combined usefulness and beauty.
 The New Perfection Wick Blue Flame Oil Cook Stove and. the Rayo Lamp constitute two household arti- cles that will meet any wemals idea of home comfort In the thousands of homes in which they are already used, they are making things cheerful be- cause of their absolute safety, great simplicity. and wonderful convenience.

RARE MONSTROS|TY
 ON EXHIBIT HERE
A Child With Two Heads, Four Hands and Four Feet.

Antonio Herrera yesterday had on exhibition here in the Tomlinson building. d rare monstrosity in the shape of a. human being with two heads, four hands and four feet The infant or infants, for there are really two of them. joined together were born at Silver Bell the 10th of April, 1908. The incident at the time creat- ed quite a little excitement and the story was given prominence through out the territory through the press Both infants were girls and lived but an hour and half, the mother also dying five hours after their birth Physicians differ in regard to the number of organs the monstrosity contained, some conte nding that it had but one heart and one stomach, while others claimed each body had it's individual organs.
 The two infants much resemble the famous Siamese twins and immediate ly. upon their death were embalmed and placed in a sealed glass case They have since been exhibited throughout the territory by NIT. Her rera. He will remain in Tempe to- day and will leave tonight for his home in Silver Bell

A WOMAN'S IDEA OF SUMMER
 COMFORT.

To every woman, especially the wom- an who keeps house. the topic of sum mer comfort in the home is one of nev- er-failing interest.
 This is particularly true where com fort in the kitchen is concerned, as it is in this one room that the most try ing part of the work is done, such as cooking. baking. ironing. and heating water for wash-day purposes. Even In cool weather. such work is not alto gether welcome, but it becomes drudg- cry on days when the mercury is try ing to jump through the top. of the thermometer, aided by hot stove that diffuses it's almost unbearable heat through the kitchen.
 But such days are past. With the New Perfection Wick Blue Flame Oil Cook Stove. kitchen drudgery becomes a kitchen comfort, for this wonderful stove is so constructed that it not only produces quick results, but does it all without perceptibly raising the kitchen temperature.
 All this means real comfort to the woman who works in the kitchen, espe- cially when considered with the added
 
 the doing away with all carrying of coal, wood and ashes; in having a stove that can be turned on or off. high or low, as required; and in not having to keep it lighted when not in use.
 Then there is the saving of fuel to be considered: and it is here also that the New Perfection eXcels. Although equipped with three burners, it has but one oil reservoir. thus reducing three separate filling operations to one.
 Besides all this, the New Perfec- tion" is the only oil stove built with a cabinet top. Its commodious top shelf is particularly useful for warm ing plates and keeping food hot after it is cooked. In addition. there are two drop shelves, on which may be set the teapot or coffee pot and small cooking

hundred and one ways, and each way is of importance to the resultful finale, but the ways are not of equal import ance. Sometimes. some one point will be given too much importance at the expense of another that perhaps was of far greater value 10 the ad than was supposed.
 The best way to get into the inner workings of copy-writing is to learn to analyze advertisements. Tn looking at an ad, one person will receive the strongest impression from the head line. while another will be struck by the illustration or the body matter. The best advertisement is the one that is harmonious; that does not have one part sacrificed at the expense of an other; with each part bearing on it's neighbor. Simplicity is the keynote to good advertisements. And you will always find that the big copy writers follow this star as do all other artists and, by the way, simplicity is the hardest proposition known in the world today Your ad two weeks afterwards should not be remembered by the catch word. or by the border. but by the name of the article advertised and the person who handled the article.
 Good copy never becomes bOmbastic. or argumentative, for these two factors breed opposition. Good copy never ad- vertises any one else. or compares with any one else's merchandise. It talks of self, and says things-facts-with out the use of superlative adjectives. Good CODY never tells the whole tale in one ad, but leaves a bit for an in- vestigation. telling enough to estab- fish the impression of superiority, and create a desire to find out Good copy is earnest, frank, an instiller of confi- dence, and honest; in fact, it is com mon everyday verbal salesmanship. with a whole lot cut out. Learn what to "cut," and you will have left good, substantial copy that, in the greatest percentage of cases, will pull"

 In addition to the large store rooms which they already possess. the Par ker Commercial company is adding another wareroom on the west side of their building. to be used for storing coal and heavy hardware. The paFti- tion between the main building and the adobe stOrerOOm has been remov- ed and a new matched floor is being laid in the latter. The east side of this room will be occupied by the bank. the pOstoffice and the office of the manager of the Parker Commercial company. The main store will then be 100 feet long by 25 feet wide Sev- eral more large counters wil be put in and about 75 feet of additional shelv- ing. This will give the company one of the finest stores anywhere along the A. & C. The stock of goods is valued at s200OO The officers of the com pany are, c. F.. Finney, president Otis E. Young, vice president: F. w Brooks. secretary and F. O. Richmond. treasurer. Under the mana cement of c. H. Long this store has risen rapidly in the estimation of the community.

GOOD COPY.

Advertising copy is a very curious and disappointing proposition some times. It may be praised clear out of sight by an expert, and yet fail tO pull" and, on the other hand, may be knocked" with a vengeance, and, in the face of the most scathing criti- cisms. pull tremendously
 How can we account for it? Doesn't anybody know what good copy is? Can't an expert copy writer tell what pulling" copy is?
 Nearly every experienced copy-writ- CT and advertising man who has had any experience in writing copy, and has "bucked" up against really hard propositions, will tell you that the more he writes and the more he studies, why, the less he absolutely knows. Copy can be sent to ten experienced and weathered advertising men for criti- cism, and the sender will, nine times out of ten, receive ten different sets of criticisms regarding the copy, proba- bly, all adverse to each other.
 Why is this? Because it is simply human nature. The advertisement that appeals to one business man as a business getter will be thought val ueless by another. Copy is Fike its creator, human, in that it is bound to receive some knocks
 What on earth is good copy? How can it be spotted? How is a business man who cannot afford the services of an ad-writer, to write copy that will sell his goods?
 These questions will demand a list of answers as long as your arm. Ad- vertising is written for but one, and only one. purpose-to sell your goods, either directly or indirectly. It must be constructed to touch the most vol nerable spot of the buyer and make

AT THE BIC FAIR.
Second Week of the MidwinteI
AuspiciOus.
Vaudeville Bill Improvement
Over Predecessor.

The management of the Midwinter
is now running the second week of
the 1909 show and considers that it
has made a ten strike in securing the
act of Lessik and Anita. This is one
of the highest salaried acts ever seen
in Topeka, and it is also one of the
most difficult to perform. Anita is the
star of the team. One of her feats
consists in spinning a top along the
edge of a sword into a clock which
then strikes the hour of day, when the
top spins out and down a runway
and then drops into a pocket, pulling
a pin which instantly transforms the
clock into cage with a banner and
other decorations. This act is the
most spectacular ever seen at a Mid
winter exposition, and will win many
rounds of applause for pretty Anita.
Lessik the other member of a team
is gun spinner He is one of the
greatest gun jugglers in the world.
He spings a gun horizontally on the
top of a sword, balanced on his chin,
while he spins guns in opposite direc-
tons in each hand Lessik with

team in America. Next SUNDAY they
will leave for Frisco and make a tour
around the world. The team will go
to Honolulu first, and will then make
for Australia. They will spend some
time in the Asiatic nations but will
not give performances in all of these
countries. Inside of eleven months
they expect to reach Constantinople,
where they will make a tour of Eu-
rope, giving exhibitions in all of the
principal cities in every country. They
will return to America in about three
years. Anita's little pet spaniel will be
taken along.
The total attendance for last week
was 23,1OO. The largest weekly at
tendance during the first year, 1902
was 9.340. All of this shows the in
creasing popularity of the Midwinter
expositions- The attendance the first
week was handicapped by the bad
weather during the first of the week,
leave their homes owing to the gas
shortage
One of the features of this weeks
entertainment is the moving pictures.
F. NJ. Tillish who is in charge of the
Pacific Coast Borax company's exhibit
has arranged for an interesting film
of pictures showing the famous twenty
mule team, which formerly hauled the
borax in Nevada before the con-
struction of the Tonopah and Tide
water railroad, which is now used.
This team was taken to the St Louis
Trans Mississippi exposition where it
made great hit.
The exhibitions which were made
by the team at that time will be shown
as Will also the famous drive of the
city during the busy part of the day,
when all traffic had to be suspended.

Diamonds
At a Great Reduction at
the Mid Winter Exposition

If the Lucios Diamonds for the past
week have been any sort of an attrac-
ton at the Mid-Winter Exposition,
and they certainly have, that attrac-
ton will certainly be largely increased
today and tomorrow at this special
sale In a conversation with the local
dealers last night, they are authority
for the statement that they received
instructions at the latest moment to
create a local demand for the new
stone. When it first came to Topeka
at the Mid-Winter Exposition, it was
not entirely unheard of from the fact
that the advertising pages of the mag
azines for the past ten years or more
have been used to call attention to the
stone which experts can hardly dis
tinguish from the real diamonds, the
value of which may be just what the
possessor places on it. But they cost
less than one-fortieth of the real stone,
in comparison to size. The method of
the people having the domestic control
of the stone heretofore has been. one
price and no change, but for some
reason. known best to themselves. it
appears IndC IHey nave uelCI AiliAed

Many of the booths are attracting
a great deal of attention This is es-
pecialIy true of the Pacific Coast
Borax company's quarters. This is the
first time this company has ever
exhibited at the Midwinter, and the
displays are elegant There is not a
fancier booth in the Auditorium.
If you are interested in the manu-

should not fail to visit the large booth
