A momentous event of eastern his-

 ecclesiastical dignitary, second in rank after the Dalai Lama, has been warm ly exhorted by Yuan Shi Kai to recon slider its decision, and enter as an au- ltonomous state into the federal republic.
 The official reply, just returned, offers food for reflection, and iustifes the statement I made some time ago that the secession of Mongolia was fore gone conclusion. The Mongolian gov

 the Manchus as adequate ground for separation, which 1t characterizes as ir- Irevocable, but, considering the large percentage of Chinese traders in the country, 1t is reluctant to cut its con nection with China absolutely. Tho unique link, however, by which the present rulers of Mongolia are willing to connect the two countries is a treaty, but even that shall not De concluded d.

BEAT N / ORDER HOUSE
e. MEANS OF ADVERTISING.
Here Is a Case Illustrating How Sons
Merchants Overlook Chanes
to Do More Business

A merchant in n small town who
saw a farmer receive goods at a rail-
road station from n mail order u
told him he could have sold the same
goods for less money and saved the
freight besides. The farmer asked
him why he didn't let people know.
Though he had taken the home paper
regularly for years. he never saw a
line in ii that such goods were TO he
had. The mail order house came after
the trade and got it.
Merchants and manufacturers who
fail TO advertise what they have
should not expect to compete with
those who do. The very best articles
at the lowest prices viii be passed 10y
when people are of their ex-
istence. Probably if the merchant had
advertised and the farmer had bought
from him he wouldn't have known
that his advertisement had brought
the business anyway, and so wouldn't
have given it credit. Publicity often
reaches much farther than is out
wardly ~perceptible.

This mild rebuke was to stir them up

There was nothing for il bur

this was equivalent to going overheard.

Conner had not covered half the dis
