POETIC LORE OF THE 'PossUM
why the Little Animal Has No Hair
on Its Tail Explained for

Though the honor of giving the possum
his first mention in history is ascribed to
Captain John Smith. relates the Atlanta
constitution. it was Irwin Russell. the
Mississippi poet, who Joel Chandler Harris
long ago said was the first to appreciate
the possibilities Of negro dialect work, who
first gave the southern marsupial a place
in literature
In his Christmas Night in the Quar-
ters," Russells admirable portrayal Of
plantation life on the Mississippi. one of
the most attractive sections is that in
which old Booker. a banjo player OF great
reputation. enlivens the quarter bal with
q story OF the origin OF the banjo. which
also answers the weighty question OF why
the possum has no hair on his tail.
Sist now, when the Georgia 'possum is in
such prime favor. these verses will doubt
less be read with great interest:
Go way fiddle! folks is tired o. hearln' you

These men, in conference, devise plans

The Old Way

For years we did advertising in the Old
Way, so we know how to make these
comparisons.
We used to depend, as other agents
do now, on n mans ability. He did the
best that he knew.
But there are many pitfalls in sdver-
Using, and one man knew but few. There
is need for vast knowledge of human ma
ture, and one man knows but little. Sue
cess requires immense exertion, and one
man has but one-man power.
Much of the advertising, in the Old
WAY, failed to return its cost.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-02-07

This incompatible service costs Won
no more than the commonplace. We
handle advertising on the usual agents
commission.
To multiply results means to expand
the advertising. and our revenue comes
through expansion.
We spend on Advisory Boards and on
copy what others spend on soliciting.
For it is cheaper for us to develop ac-
counts thar to get them. We need to
charge nothing extra.
We employ in our offices 1iore than
200 people.

Of . hotel at Centinje-
Until a few years ago diplomatic repre-
sentatives accredited TO the MOntenegrin
court were in the habit Of residing at
Ragasa, where many comforts are to be
had. But Prince Nicholas did not like the
dipiomatists TO live in Austria and xisit
him only when some diplomatic business
brought them, 30 he caused TO be establi shed
a European hotel The hotel is without
competition. end consequently prices are
high and walters are as little civil as in

the hotel and to Prince Nicholas for pro

come in sight OF the prince. and some
OF them do not uncover till they begin TO
