After two hours lighting the Presi-
dents guns left the Endymion with her
upper works shot away, helpless and
silent. Three hours later the Presi-
dent was oyertaken by the Pomona and
the Tenedos. and another terrific fight
followed, and, in the end, Decatur was
obliged to surrender his ship. Captain
Parker of the Tenedos received and
generously returned Decatur's sword.
This was the Presidents last fight.

four men killed and fifty-five wounded.

After the fight off Sandy Hook the
President was taken to Bermuda, and
finally TO Portsmouth. The British were
greatly elated over the capture of a
ship that had been such a menace to
their commerce. The captain of the
Endymion received promotion and a
gold medal.
For thirty years the President served

TIE PUBLIC HOSPITAL.

A public hospital is great boon to
the community it serves. 1t is an in
stitution greatly missed in places
where il is not established, and often
is not appreciated where it is estab-
lusbed. Calumet has such an institu-
ton. but whether or not il is appre-
ciated by the public we do not know
This question will be answered by the
number Of responses received to an ap-
peal for funds just issued by the exc
cutive committee. The News pub
fishes this appeal today in its Laurium
department. Five dollar subscriptions
are asked. which entitle the giver to
membership and a voice in the manage
ment.
The Calumet Public hospital certain
" supplies a felt want in this com
munity. 1t opens it's doors to patients
not admitted to the mine hospitals,
which are maintained solely for mine
employees and their families. 1t is the
means Of saving many lives. where
prompt surgical aid is needed. 1t saves
the expense and strength of the pa
tent that would be entailed were it
necessary to go to some hospital out
of town. Furthermore it is an admir-
ably conducted hospital, where best of
care and treatment are obtainable. II
is worthy Of support, but whether this
support viii be forthcoming remains
to be seen.
The exercise Of little of the
Thanksgiving spirit at this time would
not be amiss in the case OF the public
hospital. The executive committee has,
seemingly, hit upon the psychological
moment in it's appeal, for the season of
the year is at hand when the spirit of
giving fills the soul and feeling of
appreciation for the good and worthy
things around about US grips the
heart. The public hospital cannot sur
lvive without the help Of those who can
afford TO subscribe 10 its good work.
Its income from patients is insufficient.
During the course Of the year it is es-
sential that the hospital do much char
lity work This cannot be avoided.
Work Of this kind must be done, but
from it no revenue is derived. Annu-
ally the hospital has a deficit to meet.
In the four years Of it's existence it
has been greatly aided by the bequest
Of the late Ernst Bollmann, but its
ability TO meet the yearly deficit longer
is now exhausted.
Funds the hospital must have, or it
cannot long survive. It's loss to Calu-
met, if that should come to pass, would

thousand people like this a public hos
Ipital is one Of the community's biggest
assets Because ii must depend on the
public for some Of its support it should
not be regarded as liability. The
great good it does outweighs, many
times. the debt it calls upon the pub
lie TO meet.

BEST RETURNS FROM PAPERS
Boston Expert Gives Advice to Local
Firm Regarding Advertising
Billboard Method "Cheap."

Nathaniel G. Fowler of Boston, in
terested in advertising, was the speak
er before the Maiden Board of Trade
at Boston recently, and he dwelt at
considerable length upon newspaper
and magazine advertising.
Newspaper advertising brought the
best results for local concerns, he
said. The real value of advertising
was not discovered until about 25
years ago, but 1T had since developed
to such an extent that it was now
one of the most important items in
commercialism. Then magazines had
only few pages of advertising, and
newspaper advertising was confined to
a few small notices.
Today the situation was reversed,
for there was more advertising than
reading matter. People criticised this,
but they should not do so, for the
newspapers and magazines were Civ
ing the people better reading matter
and more of it than ever before and
at the minimum of cost.
He claimed that billboard advertis-
ing was a cheap form of advertising,
for the billboards tended to cheaper a
locality. What merchant would think
of cheapening his business in the
manner that billboard lessened the
attractiveness of city or town?
The greatest trouble with the ad-
vertising that "does not pay" was not
with the publisher so much as with
the merchant who failed to present it
properly. Ninety per cent of all ad-
vertising was addressed to the women
readers of a newspaper or magazine
and that should be borne In mind
when preparing the advertising mat
ter.

ADVERTISING AS CAPITA.
STOCK.
BY GEORGE S. eANTA, 3. A..

The biggest part of any busi-
ness of any size is not the stock
of goods it has on hand, the man
at its head, nor the force Of
saIes-peopIe it employs. You
might change any or all of these
and still have substantially as
good business as before. The
biggest thing about it is the atti-
tuee OF the public toward it.
This is something which does
not change in a day and while
attaining what we call "busiress
prestige" is desirable above all
else, the only way to realize this
Is through fair treatment Of the
public in season and out. "Es-
tablished in 1873" has weight
with the average man because it
tells him that house which is
still doing business after over
thirty years must have COM
mendabIe qualities and be recos-
nized for its fair dealing.
Advertising has wonderful
possibilities in developing this
very prestige. With time itself
It shares in this ability to give
atl9NSs an excellent standing in
the community. Advertising
works perslstently and effective
ly because it is a concentrated
broadside of publicity reaching,
not one, but hundreds or thou
sands practically simultaneously.
If you were starting to con-
duct new business in your
city, would 1t help you to be
able every day or every week to
go into the homes of large
percentage of the people of your
community and tell them what
you are doing in your store or
office just at the particular
time of your visit? Of course it
would, and that is just what
your newspaper enables you to
do. And you are not intruding,
either, because it is an admitted
fact that the Intelligent readers
Of our newspapers today read
them for the advertising as we'll
as the news. And this is nat
ural, for a good advertisement is
designed to benefit the man who
reads it as we'll as the adver-
tiser.
1t need only be said that the
advertisement, to carry its full
weight, must be backed up to
the letter. II will prompt inves-
tigation and if this investigation
shows a house absolutely reIia-
BILE, comparatively short time
will suffice to give the business
all the prestige that could other
wise be attained only through a
generation of business life.

Japanese Advertising WAYS,

The Japanese have an original way
of advertising and they apply to the
art all the poetry that their original
imagination is capable of. They have
recourse to the most varied and i'm
provised methods, and their combina-
tions are sometimes as picturesque as
they are original. A Japanese mer.
chant informs his customers that his
goods are sent off with the rapidity of
a shot. A stationer calls his knowl-
edge Of natural history to his aid thus.

the hide of an elephant" A Toxic

THE FIVE MS OF BUSINESS
Money, Machinery, Materials, Men,
Merchandise-Men the Most
Difficult Problem.
BY HUGH CHALMERS.

The business man deals with five
men and merchandise. 1t is not So
hard to get money, materials and ma
chinery. Each of these is a given
quantity, and with each and all OF
them given result can be accom-
plished.
The big thing is to get men.
Men are not of such certain guam
titles as money, materials and ma
chinery. A machine Will do a known
quantity Of work In a known time. A;
man will do such work as he is will
ing and capable of doing. Men, then,
are the most important factors In the
conduct OF any business.
Our manufacturing methods were!
crude in the beginning. The market
was ready and we strived constantly
for greater perfection. Nowadays the
great question is one of distribution,
the getting OF things from where they
are to where they ought to be.
The two greatest factors in distri>i
button are salesmanship and adver.
tising.
1t is useless for cities or for busi
ness men to say they do not believe
in advertising. Everyone is an adver-
user whether he wants to be or not.
Our manners, our clothes, our ap-
pearance. our speech, everything that
we do or say advertise us and we can
not deny it
Since you have to advertise, why
not do 1t right? Advertising is moth
Ing but teaching people to believe
in you and your goods.
You, for instance, are trying to
teach people to believe in your city.
The most important feature of ali is,
to have some one whose business tt
is to attend to the advertising Of your
city. This is an age of publicity, and!
unless you keep after the people all
the time they soon forget you. You
have got to keep everlastingly at It,,
because the business of this commu-
nifty in all Of its transactions Is like,
