4ineliIGSS and STYLE in Advertising

The trite comment upon success of any sort
that there is everything in nknowing how" is
particularly applicable to the business of ad-
vertising. Merchants generally advertise
their business, but not many of them regard
advertising as part of their business; that is
they do not put business methods and business
brightness into their advertising. Judicious
advertising pays every time, and he who
knows how to advertise judicously is better
equipped business man than is his merchant
neighbor who does not know when and how to
advertise.
A striking advertisement will run the gamut
OF popular attention and get into the air like
popular song. Advertisements have become
as familiar as household words, and remained
advertisements long after they had disappear
ed from newspaper columns and from advertis-
ing bilboards Who will ever forget themys-
tic IS. I. 1860 X?' 1t can no longer be seen
III print, nor upon billboards, but the name of
the compound it advertised comes to mind
with the legend, and the advertisement is as
bright as it was twenty-five years ago.
''Y on press the button; we do the restw 1t
is hardly necessary to state what these words
advertise. They have been so widely read and
are so taking and so suggestive of ability that
everybody knows what they refer to. To show
to what extent an advertisement with bright
ness in it gets into the public mind the fact
may be cited in relation to the advertisement
under comment that no less parsonage than
Chauncey M. Depew. in speech before the
merchants of New York at their annual din
ner, closed an interesting statement of the ad-
vantages of reciprocity with the remark 'As
merchants, as bankers and business men, we
say to congress in the language which adver-
tises that most universal and productive of
our institutions, you press the button we
will do the rest
If merchants and manufacturers want to
win advertising Of this happy kind, all they
have to do is to advertise in the right way
and put happy thoughts into their advertise
mentS.

THE RSONIAN

Jacob Whine saw two well-dressed men on
the other side of the same swamp, that same
evening.
They were strangers to him, although he
knows everybody about here. Seeing him, the
strangers went hurriedly back into the
swamp.
They were seen in the pine -thicket by Stan
ley Lyle and the men at the plant, on the af-
ternoon of Thursday, the third day of their
being here. Again, they eluded our men, by
going into the swamp. That night Mr.. Mon
Grief saw, hailed and shot at one of them. I
knew by what route they would of necessity
have to take to escape our hot pursuit, and
was fastening to the spot, to personally sta
ton sentinels there.
Most unlucEily, my foot went deep down
into narrow ditch; and [ was so seriously
wrenched in the ankle that [ had to return to
the house.
The men sent to guard that spot never To-
Gated it. Next day Major McGregor found
the tracks, passing that very place; and he
lost it in the swamp, on the farm adjoining
mine
those strangers were never seen here IN the
forenoon; nor after midnight. It is known
that | work in the morning, and stroll about
in the evening. It is known that [ ALWAYS
work some in the early hours of the night
Only three days before the men were seen
in front Of my dwelling, the last of the glass
exposures had been screened. My intuition
that great peril was approaching prompted
me to ask my wife to curtain the glass ex-
posures- before which [ had been exposing
myself, at night, for years. Did those men
expect to see me pass and repass in the bril-
liant light before glass doors and windows.
as moy habit had been?
Were they frustrated by the unexpected
curtains, which OVERLAND the shades, on oohich
may figure a0ouzd haze been throaom?
Were they at a loss when they reached the
pasture gate and found that the screenage had
been destroyed?
Now listen:
I'm not the least bit excited, and nv nerves
are so firm that [, yesterday, killed an English
sparrow, at 20 feet, acith pistol But feel
1t IN my bones that another crisis is coming.
Between this and the assembling of the Legis-
lature, another effort to 'get" me will be
made Don't pooh, pooh the statement. Just
wait and see. They won't get" me-
But bearing in mind what [ have said, read
the following article, which was written few
days before the strangers came so mysterious
ly; remained three days, so mysteriously; and
went away so mysteriously -and who are so
unwilling to earn 81 900 apiece by letting me
know who they are, and what was their mo-
tive in coming here.
This is the editorial:

which follows these Introductory words. At
ter having written it, laid it aside, in wear-
ness of spirit. People were so loath to take
my view of the facts, that [ was utterly be-
numbed and disheartened. Therefore, [ put
the editorial to one side, resolving that [
would never allude to the painful sub ject
again.
Just q feoo nights AFTERWARDS, Mr..
Proctor and Mrs. Lytle, at different times and
places Though near together) saw the two
unknown white men on my lawn, out of the
paths, watching the front windows of the
rooms in which [ have worked for years. It
was early in the night and the electric lights
were on.
Who eoere they, and aohot did they come
to do? [ have advertised my WILLINGNESS to
pay them $1,000 apiece if they will reveal
their identity and their purpose. Nobody
claims the reward. Can you captain aDhy
hey do mot?
Mr.. John II. CARTRIDGE and two negroes
saw two strange, well-dressed white men, at
my pasture gate the next day, about two
o'clock in the afternoon. Had they come
few days earlier, the tall broom-sedge, the
young pines and the growth of brers etc., on
the terraces would have concealed them from
view. 4 fire had saoept the old field clean, the
qceeh before.
My evening walk has carried me along an
old private road, past this pasture gate for
many years. 1t was a walk that [ 0zo0ay8
took when the weather permitted When Mr.
CARTRIDGE went toward the men, thinking
they were tresspassers, they went back into
the swamp.
Who were those men, and what brought
them there? [ have offered to pay them
81 900 apiece, if they will tell. Gam you eu-
plain achy this easy money IS not earned?
| started to take the customary stroll, that
afternoon, but stopped and turned back
Why! For no reason that [ can recall At
about 1870 that afternoon Major McGregor
found the tracks, near the pasture gate, where
the two men had got over the wire fence, and
walked with long strides across the open field,
that adjoins my old home place.
Why did they leave the swamp and cut
across the open field, in full view of my
house. at that time of day?
At a fen minutes to 4 o'clock, had walked
down the orchard path leading into the old
home place, and had disappeared from the
rleoc Of 0ry one standing qO7tere these too0 men
stood near the pasture gate. But, again. I
had stopped, and gone back to the house.
Why! Because [ happened to remember
that Maj. McGregor had 'phoned me that
morning he would be here at o'clock. An
instinct of politeness turned me back to be
present to greet my visitor.
Where, THEM were the two men who had
streaked it across THE open field, betaceen 2
o'clock and 4 80?
The tracks found by Mr.. Minis next Mon
day, showed that they had gone into the old
home place. and had approached the little
gate, through which I have always entered
the shrubbery and rose garden. Mrs. Pearce
found the same tracks, inside the little cow
house that is close to the gate house
