The Cowboy
And the Bishop.

Have YOU ever heard the story of
certain missionary bishop in the far
west and tile cowboy? Well, it is by no
means new, but so good it will bear re-
peating. The bishop preached on Sun
day, to scattered handful of frontier
settlers, a powerful sermon on the
prodigal son. Away in the back of the
hall he saw cowboy listening with rapt
attention to the words that fell from his
lips, so when the services we're over
and he went down to speak to the
various members of his congregation, as
his custom was, he sought out the COW
boy and, as he grasped him by the hand,
he said "My son. | noticed that you
were interested in the sermon. hope
you understand the great lesson of for
giveness taught US by the parable.
Now it you have any erring sons won t
you treat them in the same christian
spirit?"
The cowboy looked puzzled for a
minute, then his eyes twinkled.
"Wal." he drawled, "it's this-a-way ::
II I'd been the man in the story, I'd a
raised the calf and thrashed the boy.
A good many people in this world be-
sides the prodigal son have needed cor
rection badly enough but the trouble
is, we do not always get all we deserve,
even the best OF us; and as for the
worst-well, it is mighty lucky for them
that they get let off as easy as they do :
Now, there is no meaner character on
earth than a thief. A man who takes
what doesn't belong to him is justly
despised by all decent people. Now
isn't the substitution such man?
Doesn't he make his living by stealing
the reputation of wel-known articles for
his own inferior goods?
No sooner has a manufacturer built up
big reputation by extensive advertising
and by the constant high quality of his
goods, than the substtutor stands ready
to take advantage Of his success. Per-
haps the entire expense of the advertised
article is due to the fine quality and
pureness of the materials OF which it is
composed In this case the substitutor
makes something that has about the
same appearance as the original. The
substitute is nearly always compounded
of adulterated ingredients. If it is a
soap, lotion, cold cream or anything
like that, it is positively dangerous, and
you ought not touch it at any price, for
a substance that is used on the skin
should be absolutely pure, or it will
bring host of distressing ailments in
its train.
Ask for the genuine advertised article,
and make sure that you get it.

Indianapolis.-Mos of the adver-
Using signs in the foreign sections OF
the city present many humorous
phases of business activities. They
are inartistic. in bad taste, and seem
to display a generous amount OF ig
norance or carelessness-but such is
not the case
Investigation has disclosed the fact
that those signs. at least most of
them, serve as business getters. They
are the mediums which bring and
hold the foreigners together. and they
attract hundreds of up-to-date Amer
leans, who think those signs stand
for just what they want. The adver-
Using in the foreign districts. how
ever crude 1t may seem, is in many
respects more up to date than what is
used downtown. Many of the foreign
ers-and many in the foreign districts
are matured Americans-could pre-
pare or order as pretty signs as seen
anywhere. but this would spoil the
business in those districts. and the old
signs are retained.
A man on West Washington street,
blacksmith by trade, and one who
looks every bit a foreigner. Is well
educated. He knows every word in
the English language adapted to his
trade and does not have to stutter
when spelling most any word called
for. He writes a good hand and can
print the capital and small letters of
the alphabet almost as well as a grad
uate sign painter. But his sign over
the door to the shop reads:
