DOES ADVERTISING PAY?
Man Who Does Not Believe Against Best
 Busine Men of World

The man who conducts his business the theory that 1t doesn't pay and he can't afford advertise sets up his judgement in opposition that of all the best business men ot the world Says experienced adver- Using authority: With few years experience in con- ductng a small business Ion d few thousand dollars capital he assumes to know more than those whose hourly transactions aggregate than his do in year, and who have made their millions by pursuing course that he says doesntpay."
 If advertising doesn't pay, why is 1t that the successful merchants of every town large small the heaviest advert1sers t does not pay why do the largest business firms in the world spend millions in that way?

ONE ON PALLAs.

Mayor Busse of Chicago told at lawyers dinner a lawyers story.
 ''Pallas Phelps" he said, "rss vell-known character of the Chicago of the '40s. Pallas was q nondescript sort of lawyer. He got oil somehow. Occasionally he pleaded and won a case. But he never had an office. His lack of an office was one of the standing jokes of the Chicago bar.
 "There were no paved streets in the Chicago of those days, and one morning, after a rainfall, when the roads were unusually filthy, Judge Butterfeld and Phelps met at q crossing.
 "'Good morning, Pallas, said the judge, as he tiptoed through the black mud. You haven't swept your office this morning.

Constitutional
 Convention

The constitutional convention met at Phoenix on the 10th ill. stant and after electing Geo. w. P. Hunt. of Globe, and A. w. Cole, of Douglas, as chief clerk, got down to the work of the convention. On the second day President Hunt made his com. mittee assignments. The clerks and pages for the convention will get better pay than the mem bers thereof, the salaries of pages being placed at $5 per day and clerks at $6. The work of the convention is now well under way and the next few days will probably see something definite coming from the committee rooms.
 The most striking feature of the work so far was the adop- tion of a resolution forbidding lobbyists on the floor of the con- vention except with the unani- nous consent of the members, thus shutting offthose who may wish to represent special inter- ests. The convention has also gone on record as favoring a resolution which will exclude lobbyists at future sessions of the legislature the same rule to apply i'll the house and the senate as at the present convention.

EXAMINATION FOR ASSIST
 ANT FOREST RANGERS

W44 llOA0 cll1 1Ol Assistant Forest Ranger on Oct. 24-25. 1910. The U. s. Depart ment of Agriculture estimates that 400 eligibles will be needed during the field season of 1911. Assistant Forest Rangers are pald an entrance salary of$1, 100 per annum.
 The examination will be held at National Forest headquarters in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado. Florida, Idaho, Kan sas, Michigan. Minnesota, Mon- tana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, and Wyoming. No examinations will be held in Arkansas. Oklahoma, and Utah, except at Kanab, Utah. the head quarters of the Kaibab National Forest. Since all of the Kaibab Forest is in Arizona, residents of Arizona will, under the law. have preference in appointments for this Forest.
 Forest Rangers must be, when practicable. citizens of the State or Territory in which the Nation al Forest on which they are to be appointed is situated. In the States is which no examinations are to be held there is still a sui hcient list of eligibles to make the holding of another examlna- tion unnecessary.
 Tie requirements and duties of Forest Rangers are thus des- cribed in 1.-The Use Book, which contains the regulations and 1n- structions for the use of the Ma tiona1 Forests:
 "A ranger of any grade must be thoroughly sound and able bodied, capable of enduring hardships and performing severe labor under trying conditions. He must be able to take care of himself and his horses in regions remote from settlement and SUD- plies. He must be able to build trails and cabins, ride, pack, and deal tactfully with all classes of people. He must know some thing of land surveying, estimat ing and scaling timber, logging, land laws, mining, and the live stock business.
 "On some Forests the ranger must be a specialist III one or more of these lines of work. Thorough familiarity with the region in which he seeks employ ment, including its geography and it's forest and industrial con- ditions, is usually demanded, although lack of this may be supplied by experience in similar regions.
 "The exam1nation of appli- cants IS along the practical lines indicated above, and actual de monstration, by performance, is required Invallds seeking light out-of-door employment need not apply. Experience, not book education is sought, although ability to make simple maps and write intelligent reports upon ordinary Forest business is es- sential.
 "For duty in some parts of Arizona and New Mexico the ranger must know enough Span ish to conduct Forest business with MeXicans.
 "Where saddle horses or pack horses are necessary Tn the per formance of their duty, rangers are required to own and main. tam them. The Forest Service furnishes no personal or horse equipment.
 Rangers execute the work of the National Forests under the direction of Supervisors. The1r

A Pre- nuDtial Party.

A very pretty party was given
last evening in honor of Miss Lillian
Beenk, whose marriage to Edward
K. Bean is to take place June Ii.
Mrs. Walter Collins, Mrs. Julia
Emich and Miss Bess Fawcett en-
tertained all the ladies employed in
the Taft dry goods establishment
at the home of Miss Fawcett,
1918 Third avenue Miss Beenk
has been stenographer for the John
H. Taft company ever since the
store was opened and commands the
affection of all her business asso-
ciates.
Mrs. Fawcest and Mrs. Harry
Manchester assisted the hostesses in
decorating the house and serving
the guests. The decorations were
ferns, pink peonies and white
peonies; and white cupids fiuttered
from the ceiling in the dining room.
The table was in green and white
and the refreshments repeated the
two colors. A white chair was plac-
ed for the bride-elect and back of
it was mass of ferns, forming
beautiful effect. After a little music
and informal chat, Miss Beenk was
presented with a handsome clock,
the gift of the assembled friends,
who happened to know that clock
was about the only thing not al
ready provided for the future home.
The presentation speech was made
by Mrs. Emich, whose remarks of
friendship AMI appreciation were
most gracefully expressed
Refreshments were served in the
dining room and the guests found
their places in way that was novel
and interesting. The plan was a
very clever arrangement consisting
of posters attached to the backs of
the chair. These posters were at
tractive pictures taken from vari-
Gus magazines, and each represented
the department to which the guests
belong. They were all asked to
recognize their own special line
Hiss Beenk's poster was a bride in
all her glory and pointed unmis-

band Suspected.

That John Railsbeck, husband of
the aged woman who was found

of the people of Shellsburg, who
are very indignant over the tragic
occurrence.
The coroner's jury which investi-
gated the case, decided from the
position of the body and the loca-
ton of the revolver which was
found in the bed and the nature of
the wound, that suicide was impos-
sible. The jury did not say who
murdered the woman. but suspicion

years of age, having celebrated his
birthday the day before the shoot
ing If he did the shooting it is
evident that he was temporarily in
sane. He said in his testimony that
he did not know his wife was dead
until he tried to arouse her to get
breakfast. Neighbors say that thew
heard a shot fred at 1 o'clock. AT
IL o'clock Railsbecll came to a
neighbours house and said his wife
was dead. and then he called on a

Junken to Die July Goth.

The supreme court refused to
order that John Junkin be sent to
prison for life instead of being hang
ed July 20, for the murder of Clara
Rosen in Ottumwa. The court holds
that the character of the punish
ment was solely for the jury to de-
eide and that there was no evidence
of outside pressure on the jury so
that its decision that he should be
hanged was a fair one. The court
states that if ever there was occa-
sion for inflicting the death penalty
this is the one. The claim that
Junkin was not responsible and
therefore should not be punished is
declared TO be question for legis-
lative action as to the law does not
now make any such excuse for
crime.
