ABOUT ADVERTISING 6 If It Fits You Wear

 Bv Herbert Kaufman
By Herbert Kaufman

Advertising isn't crucible with wh'cn lazy, bigoted and incapable merchants can turn incompetency into success-but one lnto which brains and tenacity and courage ean he poured and changed into dollars. 1t IS only short cut across the felds-not, "a; moving 2. platform. You can't 'get there a without l going some. F.
 It's a game in which the a0orker not the shirker-gets rich. e4. v f
 By it's measurement every man stands for what he ;s and for what he docs, rot ter what he was and what he did. -
 Every day in the advertising world is another day and has to be taken care ot with the same energy as it's yesterday.
 The qutter cor 'tsurviue where the plagge' has ghost of chance.
 Advertising doesn't take the place of busi- ness talent or business management 1t simpiy tells what the business # and hotO 1t IS managed The snob whose father cygated and who IS content to live on what was Handed to hm cant stand up against the man who knows he must build for htnpseT. . |'s.
 What makes yon think that yoN are entitled to prosper as we'll as a competitor who zOork' tqOiee a5 hard for his prosperity? * s.
 Why should as many people come to yogr store as patronize shop that makes an endeavorr to pet their trade and shows them that 1t IS / syorth qvhiIe to come to its doorsP 4.a~
 Why should newspaper send as many GUS toners to yon in half the time lt took to i'll an establishment which advertised tyice as long and boid twice as much for its publicity? ssses
 This is the day when the bsst man wins after he brove, that he ], the best man-.When the be,t store wins, when it has shown that itis. the best store-when the best goods win, after they've been demonrratsd to bs the bestgoods.
 Ifyou wantthe blumyou can tgetitbylyng .,nder the tree with your mouth; open waiting for it to drop-too manyother men are willing to climb out on the limb and risk their necks in their eagerncss to get it away from you.
 It is mans game-this .advertising--,jlst hanging on and tugging and straining all the time to get and keep ahead. 1t IS the finite ex- pression of the law of competition which sits in blind-folded justice over the markets of the world. Ta.

Varneck runs He reaches the side
walk just in time to see. Paulette's car
riage rattling off up the street. No
other Is at hand-the hour is late. He
follows on foot to the West End house.
His speed being quite unequal to that
of the vehicle, when he reaches that
charmed precinct he finds 1t as silent
and dark as death. The shutters Of
the house are closed; no lights are
visible. He walks the pavement back
and forth, up and down before the door

Then, with a somewhat heightened
visage, he lights cigar and starts
for his hotel.

Is it worth my while-is it worth my

He seems to consider the matter
pretty seriously as he goes on.

A MAN OF LUCK.
The Story of the Test BY the Eastern
Kings Minister.

A king once said to a minister, DC
you believe in luck?"
II do" said the minister.
Can you prove it?" asked the king
Yes, l can"
So one night he tied up to the CELL
ing of a room a bag containing peas
mixed with diamonds and let in two
men. one of whom believed in luck
and the other in human effort alone
The one who believed in luck quietly
laid himself down on the ground on
his blanket; the other after a time
found the bag and, feeling in the dark
the peas and stones, ate the peas and
threw the diamonds to his companion
saying, There are the stones for your
idleness."
The man below received them in hii
blanket.
In the morning the king and the
minister came and told each man tC
keep what he had found. The man
who believed in trying got the peas
which he had eaten; the other got the
diamonds.
The minister then said, "Sire. there
may, you see, be luck, but it is as rare
as peas mixed with diamonds, so lei
none hope to live by luck"-An East
ern Fable.

ROCK SALT.
II Reveals to Us a Place Where Ones
a Sea Existed.

It Reveals to Us a Place Where Ones
a Sea Existed.
Salt under ground! 1t seems a
strange thing at first to find salt
among the rocks deep down in the
earth. What does rock salt tell US?
It reveals to us place where once a
sea existed. The water has since
flowed away, leaving some salt behind.
We know that ordinary salt exposed
to the air soon gets damp and then
becomes quite fluid, but rock salt
away from air and sun keeps firm for
ages.
Rock Salt is found In various layers
of the earth's crust. Some Of the
spaces Of underground water are call
ed Seas" but in fact, large as they
were, they often did not resemble the
seas we have now, because these an
cient seas were sometimes so salty
thant no animal could live in them
and only few plants.
Such seas, in fact, were mostly
dead" and this accounts for the
masses of salt deposited along their
bottoms. But we find also signs Of
rough water in the numerous pebbles
of the layer where the salt is found
among hard, red gravel and brown
quartz.
Germany once had tolerably deep
sea, not very salt, and the bottom
surface of it shows coral reefs. There
are signs in it Of great fishes, armed
with strong teeth, enabling them to
crush the shellfish upon which they
fed.
These swarmed below the sea In
thousands. North England and the
midlands have the Keuper beds,
where the "seas" were always shallow
and where we can trace the marks Of
raindrop filterings and sun cracks.
The rock salt is often in layer 100
feet thick. 1t is supposed that one
part Of these seas was separated from
another part by bar Of sand, over
which the waves toppled only now and
then.
In the cutoff sea evaporation went
on through the ages, and Of course
deposit of salt was formed, while the
occasional overflow from outside re-
placed the water which had evaporat-
ed. But really this Is not known for
certain. It is only clear rock salt that
1o
present sea water-bromine, iodine
and magnesia-
Generally this salt is not mixed
with fragments Of different sub
stance, but is in columns Of rough
crystals. Now and then there is found
layer of rock salt, with one of mari
and shells under it, succeeded by rock
salt again, showing that for a time a
change had taken place.
Upon the land near these shallow
salt seas lived some singular animals,
unlike those Of our earth in the later
centuries Of its history. There were
remarkable reptiles belonging to the
frog or batrachian family. One OF
the species was the size Of a small OK,
with peculiar complicated teeth and
feet which left prints on the earth so
exactly like the impressions Of the hu-
man hand that geologists gave it a La
tin name, meaning "the beast with the
hand" Another strange creature was
a sort of lizard with horny bill and
feet resembling those Of a duck. 1t
had somewhat the appearance of
turtle, it is supposed. Then there were
some warm blooded animals about
the size of a rat, which had pouches
in their cheeks and preyed upon small
insects-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

varneck went to the play that night
and occupied an orchestra chair. He
| carried his heart in his eyes. In the
second act he arose and hurled toward
the yeIlow-haired Titania Of the stage
bunch Of camellias, out from the
waxen heart Of which slipped brace
let of brilliants.
A quick flash swept her fair little
face. She did not touch the glittering
thing. It lay as it fell, scintillating
in the footlights till at last Warren
the comedian, picked 1t up, and, amid
burst of applause, clasped 1t on her
arm.
The moment the curtain dropped
varneck rushed out. He met Paulette
just as she was coming from the
green-room.
Pray, let me escort you to your
carriage?" he began, in a low voice,
and with eyes passion-bright.
mo, mol" She shrank back, then
thrust out her hand with the bracelet
lying therein. "Take it! Quick! do
not make a scene here! Quick! 1t
burns my hand!"
He seized on the hand and drew 1t
through his arm.
How cruel you are!" he murmured,
reproachfully. "Others may fawn
upon you-that corsair-fa scene
painter, for instance; but for me you
have only reproaches. You kiss the
flowers he gives you-mine you have
no doubt trampled under foot"
AS he spoke some one came strid-
ing toward them through the crowd.
Some one pushed Varneck violently
aside literally tearing Paulette from
his hold.
Keep back" hissed St John, with
pale lips. Il hope I may never kill
you!"
Good Lord, fellow!" cried Varneck,
quite dumfounded. What do you
mean?"
But st. John did not wait to answer.
He snatched up his lovely prey and
hurried it headlong down the stair.
Il shall do that man some harm
yet" he muttered through clinched
teeth the moment they were alone to-
gether on their way to the cantatrice's
supper.
Paulette sat staring through the car
riage window, her black eyes stormy,
her face pale.
Perhaps you do not know it." she
said, but you have nearly broken my
arm
Il saw you blush under Varneok's
eyes," he cried unheeding; "tremble at
his touch! What do you mean, Paul
ette?"
How can I help but tremble?" she
answered when I knew you were
watching like an ogre? I will not bear
it! Tell. that mamie is your friend
our secret"
"A year-six months hence I will,
maybe, but not now," he said, gloomily.
"Then." she cried, looking unutter-
ably lovely in her quick, childish an
ger. IF you go on like this, l shall
hate you, Guy-do you hear?-hate
you!"
He heard and grew pale.
1T is said there is but one step
from love to hate" he scoffed.
"Then 1 hope l may not take it,"
she cried, clinching her fiery little
hands. Il hope you may not drive me
to take it,"
His unwholesome pallor deepened.
II did not know you were such a
fire. he said, with a short
laugh. Between ourselves, l believe
that saying desperately false. Once
loving, one can never hate. 1t Is not
strange that Varneck's open love-mak-
ing should be gall and wormwood to
me. l ask you never again to speak
with him-I ask you to promise 1t.

How can 1 promise such a ridicu-
lous thing?" she answered. mo, I
will not! 1t is only necessary for you

for months, and was reaping from hei

Paulette peered through the cracl
and saw a dark figure in a cloak. Sh'
shot out upon him like a veritabl'
child cutting a gay pirouette.
You look very tired and dubious,
she said, leading him to the fire anC
looking up in his young and somewha
haggard face. Have you been paint

She went over to an escritoire il

thing in her hand-something whicl
she thrust out to him promptly-a rol
of bank notes.

dows lights were shining.
I'VE are expected, you see," said st.
John, and drew his companions hand
through his arm, opened the gate AMI
went up the walk.
Under clump Of bare trees, at the
very door, he paused abruptly and
turned her dropping face to the light.
.'Paulette," he whispered, with pale
lips, God forbid that / should wrong
you or force your will, even now. Do
YOU want to go back? Don't you love
me in the least, Paulette?"
She looked up at him as they stood
with the sleet driving and the rain
dripping on them-looked at him in
his dark, rich, melancholy beauty-her
master; fierce, dominant, cruel, per-
haps, but utterly, entirely her master!
An unutterable passion and tenderness
now softened his face-his lips quiver-
ed painfully.
Speak, darling; I will bear 1t.
She gave a little, gasping breath
and slipped into his arms.
'1 am yours, Guy-yours only"
"Then come" he answered, and they
entered together the suburban house.
Drip-drip went the rain outside.
The ghost Of a moon peered now and
then out Of the torn, weeping clouds
And within, behind those close cur
tains, in the quiet clerical parlor,
stood the young pair, listening to
words that bound them together till
eternity. Solemn words! solemn
bonds! The pale childish bride grew
paler yet as the ceremony proceeded;
the dark young bridegroom held her
hands locked in his and devoured her
with an unwavering gaze. In a corner
sat the clergymans wife, yawning be-
hind her handkerchief.
What an unconscionable hour for
a marriagei" she unused. 1T looks
like a runaway match. That girl is
mere child and her lover has never
seen three and twenty-five young
idiots!"
They came forth directly and en-
tered the carriage. The driver turned
the horses heads, and back they went
whirling across the long, gloomy
bridge into the silent and sleeping
city. It was st. John who first spoke,
half sadly, half playfully.
"You have not made a brilliant
marriage, Paulette-a poor painter Of
Indifferent talent, up to his ears in debt
and given over to the world, the flesh
and the devil. Fortunately we have
decided to keep the matter to our
selves"
She was silent. He put out his
arms and gathered her into his breast.
"Paulette!" he murmured, dropping
his face against hers. Wife, take me
now and mould me to what you will.

the world may not know Of this mar
