Little Tim and Col. Mike had be-

ing the girls into the supper room
Little Tim and Col. Mike secretly
scanned the bill of fare and found
that oyster stews at twenty-five
cents each would just fit their pile.
Little Tim blandly and innocently
impressed this conclusion upon the
young girls.
Anything Little Tim said was &C
copied as the top notch of hospi-
tally. The four stews were before
the little party. One of the girls
liked catsup. hile'administering a
dose of the condiment the stopper
shot into the stew and with it spurted
half the bottles contents.

Little Tim, alive to the size of the
joint wad of a dollar, reached for the
girls ruined stew, pumped it before
Col. Mike, grabbed Col. Mikes un
tasted and unadorned stew, and, plac

mo, no, grille; Col. Mike neve'
eats an oyster stew without dousine
it with catsup. He likes 'em tha'
way-don't you, Mike?"
Mike said he did.

ADVERTISING PAYS
Discussion by Lumber Men
Shows Why It Pays.

New Orleans, Feb. s.-A lively
discussion on advertising in which
Capt. J. B. White of Kansas City, Mo-,
took an active part, was one OF the
features of the Yellow Pine Manu-
facturer's Association at the Grune-
valid Hotel Thursday morning.
Following the presentation of the
report of the advertising committee
calling: for voluntary assessment OF
two cents a thousand from the men,
bers for advertising, half of which
was to be expended by the Yellow
Pine Manufacturers Association, and
the other half to be turned over to
! the National Manufacturers Asso-
citation, a question was put as to
why the Southern lumber men should
be called on to turn over this amount
to the National association when a
part of it would probably be spent
advertising the merits of woods on
the Pacific coast.
WILL SPEND $4,000 ON ADS.
| Col. J. B. White, who, as chair
man of the advertising committee,
answered the question, stated that the
! object of the assessment was to ad-
vertise wood in general way to
counteract the effect that was being
made by manufacturers of substl-
tutes. As an instance of the bene-
fits of advertising Capt. White re-
ferred to what had been done by
some flour mills on the Pacific coast
in that respect.
1--WE will spend $4,000 THO year
ON advertising" he said.
He then told the story of how ne
introduced a prominent concrete man
on one occasion as the man who was
doing more than anyone for conser'
vation, explaining that the concrete
manufacturers were spending $780,
1000 year in trying to prevent peo
pie from using wood.
BIG MERCHANTS ADVERTISE.
eve know" he said, "that the
successful merchant is the great ad
vertiser. The man who advertises
also secures a lot of free advertise
ment. Take man who advertise:
in the local papers here, and l dom
think there is a reporter who vii
say thing against that fellow
I'He's a good advertiser, anyhow, HI
will think. If you put your none!
out you will get free Advertising.
INVITES THEM TO "CINCY."
Capt. White urged the members tt
go to Cincinnati for the meeting o
the National association, stating tina
il they went and a proposal wa
made which did not meet with thei
approval so far as the expenditure
, OF their contribution was concerned
they would be able to rectify it.

sessment, and the recommendation
OF the committee were finally adopt
