Robert Winton, head and sole men,
Der of the Winton Publicity agency,
was resting in his office with his feet
elevated on the desk There was
pleased smile on his face and the cigar
in his mouth pointed upward at an
angle of 60 degrees.
He evidently was at peace with the
world-and he had GOOD reason to be,
for he had just arranged profitable
deal and was anticipating the pleasure
of visit that evening to the girl near
est his heart Mary Duvey did not con-
slider herself Wintons intended, but it
was well known among her most init
mate friends that she favored the
young advertising agent far more than
the other aspirants for her hand. How
ever, Winton had never done anything
to distinguish himself from a score of
young men of her acquaintance, and
Mr.. Duvey himself did not consider
seriously his daughters sutton, who
with his Publicity Agency" was the
laughing stock of the business district.
But Winton quietly went his way,
despite the disapproval of Duvey and
the ridicu1e of his business associates,
determined to prove to Mary that he
was made of "tle right stuff
Now. this contract had come as a
godsend and he was prepared to exert
all his energies to bring it through sue
cessfully.
Mr.. Charles BrookStone of the ia
NOUS department and mail order store,
known from one end of the country to
the other, had interviewed Winton in
regard to an advertising scheme and
had instructed him to spare no expense
to make it succeed.
few days later one might have
seen three heavy covered drays enter
an enclosed field on the outskirts of
the city. A gang of laborers appeared
and soon the noise of hammer and saw
and sledge rang out busily on the other
side of the high board fence Stimuli
taneously with these happenings there
appeared in each of the great dailies a
page blank except for these words in
heavy black type: Watch the Skyi"
This admonition was printed in the
newspapers for several days until the
curiosity of the public was keyed up
to high pitch and thousands were af-
fiicted with sore necks from followin g
the advice of the advertisement. The
climax was reached on Friday, May 13
10. The usual words were changed

TRADING STAMPS"
BUY AT BRoOKSToNE's

For several nights the same adver-
tisement appeared in the heavens, and,
combined with the great press notices,
served further to advertise the store,
with the result that it was thronged
and experienced the greatest week in
it's history.
Still doubtful as to the success of
his scheme Winton was busily figuring
out the cost when the office door flew
open and in rushed the great merchant
prince, Brookstone. He grasped the
agent by the hand and shook it hearth
ly crying: Name your price and you
shall have it," But Winton, his fears
set at rest by the merchants words,
quietly handed the excited man two
sheets.
Winton Publicity Agency, DIR. For
services rendered, s4,500."
The second paper was a bill from
the X Y z. Electrical company for
use of 100000 candle power search
lights, accessories, carpentry, ETC., night
Of Friday, May 13. 49,.
While Robert Winton was paying
his usual visit at the house of Mary
Duvey her father in a sarcastic manner
indicated one of the items in the paper
in regard to the advertisement saying:
There Winton, that's the sort of man
I would want my daughter to marry.
One who could plan and execute such
coup as this" Winton said nothing,
but produced the bill which he had
given to the proprietor of the store.
The old man read and as he read the
ironical look faded from his counte-
nance and was replaced by a pleasant
smile. We'll, Robert" he said, II
guess I have been mistaken. Shake!"
A few days later Mary and Robert
paid a visit to the parsonage and had
a. certain legal rite performed to the
satisfaction Of all concerned.-Boston

The Tipless Hotel.

A year ago a tipless hotel of the
first class was opened in London. The
management positively announced"
that no gratuities to walters, porters,
maids or other employees would be
permitted or suffered. The expert
ment," as everybody called it, seemed
extremely interesting, but the result
was considered doubtful Skeptics said
wait a month or two"
The hotel is now a year old. The
public is assured that the no-tip poll
cy has been enforced to the letter,
that the establishment has prospered
beyond all expectations, and that there
has been no trouble whatever in get
ting employes-and good, fit, we'll
hammered employees, too.
This is very gratifying news in
deed. Presumably the hotel pays
wages and salaries that compare ia :
yorably with those of hotels where
tips go or run riot, at all hours of
the day and night Mere prohibitions.
where temptations exist. will not Grad
icate an abuse. But if everybody is
satisfied at the tipless hotel there is
no reason why its policy should not
succeed permanently.-Chic Rec

THE RESIGNATION OF COMMITS.

The resignation of Andrew F. Gates

IN high esteem for his political
achievements and courteous manners
In his resignation he said that he
wished to return TO the practice of the
law and 20 be free te discuss and act
upon public questions that are Of in
Tarest TO all. Mr.. Gates is a native
of Lebanon. and began his political
career in the eighties and was made
clerk of the general assembly from
1889 TO 1893; and in 1895 was clerk
Of the senate. In 1891 ne became
member Of thu board of school visitors
Of Hartford. serving on the board I'M
til 1897. II 1899 he was appointed
prosecuting state attorney Of Hartford

On the election of Governor Mclean,

missioner and on the passing of an
act cree<3Hs. that oface by the general
assembly in 1901 MIR. Gates was ap-
pointed TO the position Cor the term
OF four years. In 1902 he was elected
chairman Of the rspublicsn state cen

Stamford. the present state chairman.
The defeat Of Mr.. Gates by Mr..

teams will present to the public-a
game said to be equally as spectacu-
lar and much safer than the old game,
even if some of the sensational plays
be found lacking. We shall see.
The new rules, it is claimed, make
mere sizes and weight of less import
ance than formerly, and open up pos
sibilities for speedy and quick men of
lighter weight than was formerly toll
Grated. If this proves to be the case,
the game will be distinctly the gamer
thereby, even If the picturesque giants
Of the old battlefieids lose something
of their former popularity.
Football as an intercollegiate game
is on probation. 1t is to be shown that
under the new rules it is free from

If it be found that the new rules ac-

AN EXPECTED RESIGNATION.

The resignation of Executive Secre-
tary Goodwin had to come. 1t would
hardly do for the occupant OF that
office to be running for the position
of his own chief. The heavy respon-
siblities that rest on the secretary
come upon him during a Legislative
session and there will not be another
session until after the election. Mr..
Goodwin has enjoyed the con1dence
of two governors, and has won the
highest opinions from the many Wis
tiers at the executive chambers His
tact and good judgment have been OF
great use to his superiors in office and
have made friends for him on all
sides He will be missed for while
at the capitol, but we venture the
prophecy that he will be back there
again when 1911 arrives.-Hartford
Courant.
There appears to be no reason 10
doubt that the people of Connecticut
are going to sustain the republican
ticket and the republican policies
They really cannot afford to do any
thing else. Candidate Goodwin won
the fight, and it is presumed that all
political differences were settled in the
state convention, as they should De.
He is capable and courteous and mas
strong friends in all parts of the state,
but none stronger than those VINO
speak up for BIN in eastern Connectl-
cut. These eastern counties have been
known as the republican strongnoid
from the infancy of the party, and the
voters know too well what republican
ism means to swap it off for democ-
racy Politically this part of the state
should not be regarded as being be-
tween the devil and the deep sea.
There is no confusion. The people
know what to do and how and when
to do it, Candidate Goodwin is the

house.
That these are regarded as venial
sins by many and not included in the
catalogue of larger crime does not
change the fact that sins they are, all
the same, and direct infractions of the
law. Their commission has an ulte-
rior meaning also; they pervert the
normal sense and establish the va
lidity of the trite axiom that one sin
leads on to another. Philadelphia
