UnfIatterinq Truth.

A Chicago physician gleefully tells
a child story at his own expense. The
five children OF some faithful patients
had measles, and during their rather
long stay in the improvised home hos
pital they never failed to greet his
daily visit with pleased acclamation.
The good doctor felt duly flattered,
but rashly pressed the children, in the
days of convalescense, for the reason
of this sudden affection. At last the
youngest and most indiscreet let slip
the better truth.
I'VE felt so sick that we wanted
awfully to do something naughty, but
we were afraid to be bad for fear you
and the nurse would give us more hor-
rid medicine. So we were awfully
glad to see you, always, cause you
made us stick out our tongues. We
stuck 'em out awful far"

given up by my doctor was advised

joyed the first good sleep during my

MONKEYS ASYLUM INMATES
Little Simians After Two Years In
Mad House Show No Signs Of
Insanity.

Uncle Sam has IL African simians
as inmates of his big insane asylum in
Washington. For five months these
little near-men of the jungle have been
breathing the same atmosphere as
some of the most violent members of
the human family-types of men and
women who. through ages, have stood
out as the peer of all animals, but
whose minds have become deranged.
Yet, after these five months of
residence among deranged minds,
these IL simians are still sane-as
sane as a monkey, according to scien-
lists, can be-and show an intelligence
far beyond that of many of their fel-
low inmates.
For more than two years now have
these monkeys been under observation
and experiment. First, Prof. w. T
Shepherd, Phi. D., of the George Wash
ington university, worked with them.
along the lines of ideation and imita-
ton. He found that, physiologically.
the monkey species were more closely
related to man and the greatest minds
of the world than any other animals.
He found that the monkey has prac-
tical ideas; that it will go farther than
the parrot in imitation; that it can dis
criminate sound and color.
Practically the same results have
been obtained by DR.. S. |. Franz of
the medical staff of the Government
Hospital for the Insane in Washing
ton.
For more than a year these little
animals were housed on the top floor
of the George Washington university.
Since October last they have been
inmates of the insane asylum.

pewey's Valet Causes Stir.

There was CONSERVATION in Wash
ington one night recently when 1t was
discovered that Takugana, Admiral
Dewey's valet, had disappeared. That
picturesque little band-box Jap is SO
regular in his habits and in his at
tendance upon Admiral Dewey, whom
he worships, and when he didn't show
up for "a hours, the Washington po-
lice were asked to look him up. They
located him in the course of few
hours out in one of the suburbs WIS.,

Controlled Newspapers.

The Atchison Globe says that no ad-
vertiser has ever tried to control Its ed
itorial policy, the remark being occa-
stoned by the charge often made nova
days, that the big advertisers direct
the editorial policy of newspapers.
The experience OF the Globe Is the
experience of most newspapers. The
merchant who does a great deal OF ad-
yertising is more interested In the cir
culation department of a newspaper
than in the editorial department. II q
daily paper goes to the homes OF tho
people, and is read by them, he is salts
fed, and 1t may chase after any theory
or fad. for all he cares. He has troubles
of his own, and he isn't trying to shoul-
der those of the editorial brethren.
There are newspapers controlled BY
people outside of the editorial rooms.
and a good many Of them. more's the
pity; but the people exercising that
control are not the business men who
pay their money for advertising space.
The newspapers which are established
for political purposes are often con-
trolled by chronic \officeseekers. whose
first concern is their own interests.
There are newspapers controlled by
great corporations. and the voice OF
such newspapers is always raised in
protest against any genuine reform.
The average western newspaper usu-
ally is controlled by its owner, and he
Is supposed to be in duty bound to make
all sorts OF sacrifices at all sorts OF
times there are people who consider
1t his duty to insult his advertisers.
Just to show that he is free and inde-
pendent. If he shows decent respect
for his patrons, who pay him their
money, and make 1t possible for him to
carry on the business, he is "subsi-
died" or controlled" The newspaper
owner is a business man, like the dry
goods man or the grocer. The mer-
chants are expected to have considera-
ton for their customers, and they are
not supposed to be subsidized by the
man who spends five dollars with
them, but the publisher is expected to
demonstrate his courage by showing
that he is ungrateful for the patron
age of his friends. 1t is funny COM
bination when you think it over

Personality Above Politics.

An Oklahoma Republican leader en-
tered the private office of Senator
owen in Washington few days ago
and remarked that a particular friend
of his had been nominated for post
master in one of Oklahoma's thriving
cities. 81 would like to have him con-
firmed as soon as possible" added the
Republican. Senator owen reached a
telephone and called up the clerk of
the committee on post offices and post
roads. He named the city where the
postmaster had been nominated, and
said: Put that nomination through
right away" The Oklahoma senator
does not consider politics in such mat
ters.

II Is a Mistake

Many have the idea that anything
will sell If advertised strong enough
This is a great mistake. True, 0
few sales might be made by advertis
ing an absolutely worthless article bm
it is only the article that is bought
again and again that pays. An ex-
ample of the big success of a worthy
article is the enormous sale that has
grown up for Cascarets Candy Cathar-
tic. This wonderful record is the result
of great merit successfully made known
through persistent advertising and the
mouth-to-mouth recommendation given
Cascarets by its friends and users.
Like all great successes, trade pi-
rates prey on the unsuspecting public,
by marketing fake tablets similar in
appearance to Carcarets. Care should
always be exercised in purchasing well
advertised goods. especially an article
that has a national sale like Cascar-
cts. Do not allow a substitute to be
palmed off on you.
