ADVERTISING ALL
THE YEAR ROUND
BY VIM. c. FREEMAN.

recent story told OF an advertiser
who had decided that he would run
bis regular advertising copy during
the summer months instead OF cutting
1t down. as had been his custom in
other years.
The story provoked a lot OF discus
sion AS TO whether or not advertisers
can use space to advantage during
the summer months.
One advertising man holds that this
advertiser might as well throw his
money away az advertise In the sum
mer time.
Another advertising man said he
thought the advertiser could use
smaller copy during the summer and
get the same measure OF return from
1t as he would from larger copy tho
rest of the year.
Bearing on this subject. Mr.. F.
James Gibson-an advertising man
who for years has been close stu
dent OF advertising in all it's phases
wrote me a letter saying:

Country Losing Faith in Democrats

Up to date the Democratic minority
in congress has remained hopelessly
sterile. Instead OF recognizing It's
weakness it has more and more
sought the road to public favor by the
old familiar means. Attacks upon
transactions that are now ancient his
tory. some of them transactions that
could not occur again owing to
changes In law rabid denunciations
OF conditions that either have ceased
to exist or are rapidly being rectified:
complaints Of imaginary evils and on
slaughts upon general business-aIl
permeated by an apparent hatred Of
prosperity or individual reward-have
seemed TO be the hest policy that
could be furnished By the party now
in power in the house.
True, no legislation thus far has
been enacted. and to those who are
conversant with inner conditions Il Is
evident that the mouthings OF the
party leaders are little more than n
series Of "damnable farces" that serve
as an excuse for not embarking upon
actual legislation the effect of which
the managers cannot foresce. But
this is not so evident to the outsider
as II is 70 the man behind the scenes.
and the public is undoubtedly gaining
the impression that congress is I'm the
hands Of extreme and populistic agi-
tatoTs who have no moderation or
method I'm their madness.

steps with one jump and ran at top speed down Wall street to Williams street, where he disappeared in the crowd. The bank messenger was too astonished to go in pursuit, and al though he cried for help, Lillis was out of sight before any one was after him. The sneak" could not have been more successfully carried out had it been planned for Lillis to snatch the satchel.
 The satchel contained $14,O0O and was divided between "Old Chauncey" Johnson, Long Tom" Walsh and Lil- lis. Kid" Meany was cut off with. out a penny for losing his nerve.
 Joined "Comblnation Mob."
 This bold piece of work made Lillis famous in the underworld and he was asked to join the Combination Mob," band of clever criminals who were preparing to leave for London to rob the Bank of England. The in- vitation was accepted and Lillis be- came an associate of Little Joe" Reilly, the forger who got $69,0OO from the Union Trust company in New York; Rat" Reilly, the pick pocket; Joe Butts, the bank sneak and former friend from Cincinnati, and Sophie Lyons, the notorious woman thief. When they arrived in London they were joined by Eddie Guerin, who was later sent to Devils island for robbing the Bank of France, and Billy Porter the English thief who robbed the duchess of Suther- land of a $50,000 diamond necklace. But they found the bank too well pro- tected, so they gave up the job and went to Paris, where several months of work netted them about $40,00O each.
 Lillis lost his at Monte Carlo, went to England, was caught robbing bank messenger and spent two years in Clerkenwell prison.
 Beginning of the End.
 Then bad luck overlook him at every step. He was arrested in Louis vile for robbing a patron of the Seel- bach hotel and was sentenced to one years Imprisonment at Frankfort. On his release he went to Nashville, Tenn, where, with "Sheeney" Harris and "Sneaky" Jim, he robbed Jes- sup's jewelry store. His pals got away, but he stayed in town the day after the robbery and was arrested. He had previously felt out the job" and the clerk in the jewelry store identified him as the man who had made several purchases during the week preceding the robbery. He fought his case hard and carried it to the supreme court of the state, his pals having sent him money, but it was no use. He was sentenced to 15 years in the Nashville state prison. He served II years and months, the remainder of his sentence being com muted for good behavior. He was re- leased from there a few weeks ago, and he went to New York determined to start anew before it was too late to lead an honest life.
 For two days he went without food being unable to secure employment Then, in desperation. he entered a New York hotel, determined to steal enough money to get something to eat He was on the point of entering one of the rooms when he conquered his desires and left the hotel. He met friend who gave him temporary assistance and last week he secured employment.

the clerks. Young Lillis, who was for the job.
 A few days after the meeting the robbery was pulled off. Lillis made a getaway" with $9,000, of which his employer, the generous Joe" Butts, took all but $100. Still, that sum was a fortune to the lad, and then and there he resolved to be crook He worked with, or rather for, Butts for two years and pulled off" several dar- ing jobs. He made a speciality of rob btng banks and bank messengers in broad daylight, and in crooks par lance became what Is known as a bank sneak"
 Robbing Chemical National Bank.
 Perhaps the most exciting episode in Lillis' adventurous career occurred in New York city in 1869 Greatly en- couraged by his success in Cincin- nati, he was urged by Joe Butts to go to New York to receive the finishing touches of his education from the noted crooks in that city
 Butts gave him a letter of introduc- tion to old Chauncey" Johnson, one of the most noted crooks of that day It did not take Johnson long to ap- preciate Lillis' remarkable criminal | ability, and he introduced the youth to all of his associates. Long John" Walsh made him his protege, and to- gether they planned and executed sev- eral daring "sneaks."
 "Old Chauncey" Johnson and Long John" Walsh conceived the idea of robbing the Chemical National banks messenger on the steps of the bank as he was returning with his collec- tions. They took Lillis to Wall street to get the lay of the land and size up the job. It was their plan to have him snatch the satchel with the money r from the messenger and make break for safety while they prevented the messenger or any one else from inter fering Lillis looked over the ground and said he could do it. He found that he would be obliged to sprint nearly 300 yards before he could make the getaway" so he spent several days in Central park training to sprint He was able to make 100 yards in about eleven seconds fiat, but his speed for 300 yards did not satisfy Long John" Walsh, so they decided to get some one else to make the sneak" They found a pronising youth in the person of Kid" Meany, one of the fastest sprinters in the country, and on July 14 1869, the four went to the steps of the Chemical Ma tional bank.

 LilIis was to bend over and tie his shoe the instant the satchel was stolen and thus block the messenger from going in pursuit.

TWO LITTLE FRIENDS,

Mother" said Susie, "if Rose had
not been so naughty we would have
had very happy time this afternoon.
She wanted everything her own way,
and she said the first thing that her
doll was to be named Evelyn" "
"Why should she not call her doll
Evelyn if she iked?" asked Susie's
mother
Because wanted that name for
my doll,' answered Susie. Resides,
was company, and she ought to have
let me play with the carriage all the
time"
81 am sorry to hear that Rose is
such naughty child" said Susie's
mother. "Of course, you were very
sweet and unselfish all the afternoon"
I'm talking about Rose" said Su-
sic, Il think that I won't invite her
to my birthday party"
"But are you sure that you were po-
lite?" asked Susie's mother. 'tIf lit
tie girl is visiting another she must be
pleased and satisfied with all the play.
Let us see whether you were not as
much to blame as Rose"
Then Susie and her mother talked it
over, and the next time that Susie
plays with Rose she is not going to in
sist upon having her own way all the
time.
