The Hope Chest of a Maiden.

Every German girl. has hope chest
This is much different from the dowry
chest which the American girls, on be-
coming engaged, begins to fill in ad-
vance Of her wedding day. The Ger
man maiden begins to stock her hope
chest even before she meets the man to
whom she is to be married. She be-
gins to save for her wedding day long
before she is engaged. She is imbued
with a sense of thrift and also with an
ambition to have a larger dowry than
her mother had. Often the German
girl begins to collect things when she
enters her teens. Silently she saves
her money to use in buying articles for
her chest. With skill she embroiders
her initials on each article of linen.
Thus by the time she is engaged to
be married she is thoroughly equip
ped with hundreds Of little articles
mat are useful in housekeeping.

For the sins Of their business few
men punish their stomachs. People
eat three times a day in dull times
as well as in active times. They will
buy those things OF the man who tells
them that he has them for sale. Peo-
pie do not buy as much in dull times
as In good times, nor will they buy
certain things at all when depression
comes. However, at dull seasons they
have time to think about these things
beyond their present reach and will
Gull out certain objects of desire which
they will surely purchase when pocket.
books are fuller. In the dull time,
therefore, press upon the public mind
the worth and beauty and utility of
the goods you have for sale. Then,
when money is more plentiful, the
goods will move. Emulate the furn-
ace makers, who advertise in sum-
mer, and the refrigerator people. who
fill the winter magazines with their
advertisements.
He didn't have a dollar, he didn't
have a dime; his clothes and shoes
looked as though they had served their
time. He didn't try to kill himself
to dodge misfortune's whacks. Instead,
he got some ashes and he filled FIVE
dozen sacks. Then next he begged a
dollar. In the paper in the morn he
advertised tin polish that would put
the sun to soorn. He kept on adver-
tising and just now, suffice to say.

That advertising may bring the most
returns for the outlay, and that It may
be definitely known that It is or Is
not paying, requires concentration Of
EFFORT. experience and careful calcula-
ton.
Some one has said that trying to do
business without advertising is like
winking at a girl In the dark; you
know what you are doing but nobody
else does.

ENGLISH AVIATOR KILLED.
Trying to Land on Marked Spot, Ma
chine Collapses.


Bournemouth, England-In full view
of thousands of persons, Hon. Charles
S. Rolls, the daring young aviator,
whose feat of flying across the English
channel and back recently thrilled Eng
land, fell 100 feet to his death when
the tailpiece of his Wright biplane
suddenly snapped off, causing the ma
chine to plunge with terrific speed to
the ground.
The tragedy could not have been
more dramatic. The wrecked aero
plane struck the earth directly in front
Of the grandstand. Rolls was dead
before the doctors could reach his side.
Wrapped about by the twisted and
tangled wreckage of the broken air
ship, it was several minutes before his
mangled body could be extricated from
the mass. The doctors found that he
had sustained fractured skull.
If the falling plane had struck few
feet more to the side, it would have
crashed directly into the grandstand.

CORN CROP WILL BE LARGE. !
Increased Acreage This Year is Fig.
ured at 5000, 900 Acres.

ured at b.OOO,OOO Acres.
Washington-According to the opin-
ion of the statisticians, the falling off
of the crop of spring wheat was consid-
erably exaggerated throughout the
country, so far as its effect on the
great transportation companies and
upon the total yield of the crops is con-
cerned.
1t was pointed out that the corn
acreage showed an increase of more
than 5000, 600 acres, while the condi-
tion of winter wheat, a more import
ant crop than spring wheat, showed
an increase for July over the report of
June l. The corn crop promises to be
so large that, in the opinion of many
of these statisticians, the amount to be
transported will exceed that of last
year.

liant career by his performance of Tom
Harrington, captain of the Siwash base

of a million of them availed themselves
'of the opportunity OF enjoying its hilar-
ious fun, sweet music and revelling in
the excitement of real game of pase-

Mr.. Norris is well supported by a
company of fifty, with large chorus OF

"If the function of the stage were

this condition.
But in the sweeping indictment of the
American stage should every play not

of the American drama benefited by
such course? Take The Easiest Way,
which is described as the story of the
destruction of human soul. The chi
