Not the least important phase
of advertising is the information
which the columns contain. The
best rounded men and women,
the practical housewife and the
best shoppers always rely on
what a merchant or manufacture
er has to say about his article Of
sale or production. 1t always
gives poise to a person or cor
poration to put claim on paper,
and hence the value of an ad. It
is more than talk-it is a written
bulletin fresh from the store or
factory. Stolen.

Twenty-thres centuries ago. Men

dourished In China. said: When

e hardens his nature and supplies his
incompetencies." In reading the early
.!fe Of Grant. the above passage In
the Chinese classics wildly flashed
across my memory. II the Chinese
sage had Grant in mind he could not
have given a better prophetic descrip-
ton OF the early struggles OF the
American hero.
The career OF Grant Is just such as
10 calculated TO Are the imagination
OF the Chinese. Statesmen anu gen.
erals do not come from an exclusive
stock" IL one of our favorite sayings.
We Chinese have great admiration for
men who have arisen by their talents
from humble beginnings 10 the &C
knowledged leaders OF the people
Such was Grant. Naturally all China
delighted TO do him honor.

Ii Grant had done his work in China
there is no doubt that temples would
have been erected IN his honor
throughout the empire. Before his
shrine impressive ceremonies would
be performed at stated intervals OF
the year by officials OF the govern
ment with the burning OF incense and
the Offering OF sacrifices. But things
are done differently in this country.
II has sometimes been said that re
publics are ungratetul. This srand
mausoleum Is at least standing Wit
ness that the people OF the United
States are not unmiDdful OF their obi
cations to the great leader that con-
Quoted them through memorable
crisis in their national life.
II is fitting and proper that the
memory OF the nations great men
should be kept alive: for such occa'
sions serve TO draw attention 10 thel-
noble deeds and at the same time TO
stimulate people 10 follow their exam
rle. IL will be a sad day for a nation
yhich forgets the noble achievements
OF its great men, but assure you that
the glory of Grants immortal achieve
ments will ever increase IN splendor
as time rolls on.
