ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRITTEN By WILLIAM C FREEMAN

Of his profession as not TO reflect on
another member of the profession.
The spirit OF fairness and good will
should prevail.
SPEAK NOT EVIL
Here's the rub. How prone we are
TO say unkind and Outlines untruthfuI
things about those who cross our path
way.
l shall never forget how merchants
in a big town once sneered at a new
conner. II seemed 70 be universal.
There was no occasion for il The
newcomer had done nothing 10 merit
their disapproval or their criticism.
All he had done was to start up bust
ness in their community. Yet the evil
they spoke Of him was awful Why?
The new Advertising Man once upon
a time came into town. He was from
the country--a little bit green. bat a
hard worker. How he was picked TO
pieces. How evil report spread! He
had committed every crime except
murder All for what purpose?
Both the merchant and the adver-
Using man SUCCEEDED. but both are
still spoken OF in some quarters as
though they were the worst people
alive
Merchants and newspaper editors and
publishers and advertising men-it Is
far better to '.Hear Not Evil''-to See
Not Eyil''-to Speak Not Evil"
There should be MMoN
BROTHERHOOD among US all for
the sake of our own manhood and for
our own business and for the good We
can do.
UNIVERSAL GOOD WILL should
occupy our thoughts not only tonight
and tomorrow. but for all time.

Tours. Dec 22-The fourth day of the
trial OF the Count" d'Aulby de Gatigny
and his wife on the charge OF extorting
100000 from Mrs. Charles Harrison
Paine. now the Duchess de Choiseul Pras-
lin, through the sale OF spurious pictures
10 her late husband. opened in a way that
the defense considered favorable. Des-
moulins. the noted artist testffed that he
had inspected the collection which d Aulhy
sold the Paines aud was agreeably sur
prised to find that thu pictures were good
enough 10 deceive the ordinary man.
Dudllet, the agent of the Duchesse de
Choiseul Praslin, failed 20 substantiate
seriously the accusation of blackmail
against one Behrend in connection with
the alleged letters of Mrs. Paine TO the
Count d'Aulby.
Maitre Bernard. chief counsel for
Count" dAuIby. made an effort TO prove
that the Duchess de Choiseul Praslin and
her husband, the duke, had selected this
city rather than Paris as the place for the
trial of the accused because they were
surer of securing conviction here.
Carrier Belleuse, testifying as an expert,
condemned the Paine pictures as worth
less. The effect of this testimony was
nullihed. however, by a question by Maitre
Bernard as to whether the winess was not
under a charge OF running an Illicit gam
bling house in Paris.
Painter Twenty Years.
MaiTe Sturel asked Desmoulins what
ne knew about painting. The witness
quietly explained that he had exhibited
for twenty years at the Salon. where he
was juryman
Nj. Dudllet whose statement provoked
a dispute Tuesday proved a most disap-
pointing witness for the prosecution. He
spoke with the gesticulations OF a stage
Frenehman, and the audience rocked with
hilarity, He was expected 10 establish
Matchmaking. He described an interview
with d'Aulby In Tours. The latter was
willing 10 sec Mrs. Paine. but referred
Dudllet to Behrend.
The latter demanded 100000 francs, but
whether in connection with the Paine
d'Aulby contract or for the letters of
Mrs. Paine. or both. the witness could
saying that Countess d Aulby insisted
on 100000 francs because she had chill
dren.
Wine Dealers Testify.
Two wine dealers testified that they had
received heavy orders from dAuIby in
connection with Mrs. Paine's order in De
cember, for which d'Aulby received 1900
francs. but did not send the wine. which
is one Of the strongest cases of swindling
against him
The next witness was a chauffeur who
said he saw d'Aulby taking zoo francs
from Mrs. Paine's purse in Vienna the
day Mr.. Paine died This story convinced
nobody. The chauffeur did not deny tell
ing d'Aulhy that the housekeeper was
sworn TO oppose d'Aulby, who, by buying
furniture for the house, had robbed her
of 10000 francs in commissions. but the
greatest effect was produced by the evil
dence Of Notary dot. who was dAulby'
man of business
