The Story Of an Ad

struggling to build up his 'New York Ledger" he
decided to try little advertising He wrote
seven-word announcement, "Read Mrs. South

zone line.
His handwriting however was so bad that it
was read in the "Herald" office as zone page and
the line was set up and repeated as to occupy
entire page. Bonner was thunderstruck next morn
ming. He had not enough money to pay for such
an ad, and frantically ordered it out,
Soon the results of the ad began to be felt
Orders for the Ledger" poured in SO fast that

adjourned and the conferees began to
array themselves for the notable feast
of the tariff" that the very best that
could be offered was free iron ore, free
oil and substantial reductions in the
Senate rates on hides, coal and lumber.
TAft's Greeting.
President Taft greeted each of his
guests tonight with hearty good ma
ture, which was characteristic Of the
entire feature of the evening. The
real discussion of tariff problems did
not begin until after the dinner had
been disposed of. 1t was said to have
been one of the most carefully pre-
pared banquets ever served from the
famous old White House kitchen and
1t was no fault of the President. his
steward or his old Virginia "darkey''
cook IL the men of the tariff were not
in amiable mood when the meal was
done.
The President had spent a busy day,
but he had had fine afternoon for his
golf game and was greatly refresh ed
by the exercise. the cold shower which
followed and the cool evening rida'
back into the city from the Chevy
Chase links.
1t was we'll along toward o'clock
when the dinner began. The White
House grounds were closed to keep
away the curious who from the walks
leading to the front portico of the
mansion could have had an excellent
view of the unusual party.
Captain Butt withdrew at the con-
clusion of the dinner and when the dis
cussion Of the tariff situation was earn
estly begun. The indications were that
the tajn conference would not be
over until a late hour.

Object of the Sea Wall.

Washington, July 2...Engineer officers
of the army familiar with works that have
been constructed at Galveston since the
great tidal wave several years ago, were
not surprised to hear of the inundation
today.
The object of the sea wall. which at
places rises II feet above the lower levels
of the Bay of Galveston, was to protect
the city from the force of any incoming
wave which might otherwise sweep in
with destructive force. The gulf entrance
offers no obstruction to any high water,
which may find it's way into the city
from the rear.
The project for the reconstruction of
Galveston provided for raising the grade
of the city FIVE feet, so as to avoid floods
during high water. and this project has
in part bean carried out. In the mean
time the lower part Of the city will be
subject to foods.
