And the woman-does she know
what caused the sudden influx of
attention? Does she appreciate the
love and friendship which were with
held during the days of her struggle
with poverty?
Her placid, unexcited acceptance of
their homage, her serene aspect as
she keeps right on doing the real
things, leads one to think that she is
as little moved by their interest as
she was by their indifference. For
she has her face set toward the light,
and neither adulation nor neglect can
cause her to turn aside.

TALKS ON ADVERTISING TO It'd.
INGS READERS.
(By Ralph Kaye.)

We have thus far taken up the
moral side of advertising Before
we get down to the specific cases
let us work out few imaginary ad-
vertisements, finding the real sell
ing points and proper way to present
them. The best way to do this is to
pick certain lines of business and
ascertain why people should patron
ize them.
want the reader to understand
that because any one talk does not
treat of his particular business the
article is of 10 interest to him.
Even if you are in the clothing bust
ness and we are discussing shoes.
the principle is the same. The main
object is to sell the goods irrespec-
tive of what they are. And if a GER
tain method sells shoes, you should
be able to find some suggestion in
that method that would lead to an
idea to sell clothing, and vice versa.
Will you cooperate with me to
the extent of giving your ideas in
the matter?
You know (as every business man
knows) that by thinking over and
criticising, the subject should be
whipped into fairly presentable
shape.
With this present series would
like every reader to write his views

A SURFEIT OF POLITICS.

Politics and political discussion is
educative. and the American voter
by this time ought to be entitled to
his doctorate of advanced learning
in this subject.
The big metropolitan newspapers
have been printing daily anywhere
from ten to twenty columns about it,
exclusive of paid advertising. In the
smaller journals, not merely is
much space given to general politics,
but John Smith and Thomas Brown
have been issuing fervid appeals to
their neighbors, setting forth the
reasons why they should be honored
with legislative and other positions
OF trust.
The amount of printing matter
distributed during this campaign re-
garding politics is beyond the powers
of the human mind to understand.
1t is safe to say that the average
daily newspaper has printed seven
columns of 1900 words each for a
period of $50 days, that the average
weekly has printed five columns of
l2O words each for 26 weeks. Null
tiply one total by $500, about the
number of dailies, and the other by
$4,000, about the number of week
lies, semi-weeklies and tri-weeklies,
and the astonishing total of 6,739,-
100000 words is shown from the
newspaper press alone.
This very conservative estimate
does not include the enormous
amount of paid newspaper advertis-
ing, the great amount printed in
magazines and distributed in circu-
lars through the mail and otherwise
This would not allow for the general
news of government activities, but
simply the discussion of merits oi
candidates and platforms for the elec
ton of 1912.
given by the ordinary man to read
ing the entire newspaper. When yol
divide ten columns of finely printed
matter up among the voters hast!
ten minutes, it is to be feared wheI
Mr.. Voter comes up before the exam
liners for his degree as doctor of poll
tics, that he will fall down on som,
simple query.
Much of all this stuff is very fal
from being educative. After yol
have read a column setting forth the
reasons, usually largely personal anC
factional, why the republicans are
going to lose or gain 500 votes il
Jay county, you have not acquired
one scintilla of information relating
to the tariff, the trusts, or any Other
of our big government problems.
AS a whole the discussion had un.
told value. Millions of voters know
q lot more about the economic
theory and the personalities of the
great men of our times than they
did six months ago. But like the
boy who had been kept after school
all the term to get extra lessons
they feel anxious to get out on the
playground again, and will welcome
other themes but politics in the head
lines.

In Hard InfieId Hits They Go at the
Rate of Sixty Miles an Hour.
Ask any fan how fast an average
grounder travels during its first hun
dred feet from the bat, and his answer
will be anywhere from 20 to 200
miles an hour. Split second watches
and careful timing of many ground
balls have established the fact that
the average speed of many ground
balls-that is, those struck by the bat
of the batsman from a fair pitched
ball, which strike the infeld before
they land in a fielder's hands-go at
the rate of almost sixty miles an hour.
Sixty miles an hour is Lightweight
feet per second. The bases are ninety
feet apart. A man who can run 100
yards in eleven seconds, which is
fast running for any one, but particu-
larly so for a man with baseball shoes
and uniform on. can run ninety feet in
S3 seconds. Is it any wonder that a
ball which is fielded in its first 100 feet
of travel usually reaches first base
Just a fraction of a second before or
after the runner sets foot upon 1t?
Every fan knows that the many close
decisions at first base form one of the
Vaccinations of the game The speed

Special Displays.
Every one has heard of the theat-
rical property room-the place where
stored artihcialities are laid carefully
away to be ready for the call Of the
next emergency. But few persons
know that every big store has its
property room, too, and that its won
ders are even more enhancing than
those Of the funny cupboards back
stage"
The shops property room is filed
with articles used for window display
and special decorations, and. while the
theatrical property Is largely imita-
ton, the stores property is real.
Rare old tapestries are laid away In
the dim hidden chamber, to be used
when occasion requires as back
grounds for Paris hats In the Broad
way or Fifth avenue windows, as
draperies hung beside a choice coIec-
ton of new hand bags or slippers or
fans. Priceless vases from Italy,
strange carved chests, wonderful
screens all these lend enchantment to

The property room is almost always
in some queer, faraway corner Of the

inaccessible. But it is fun Of treas

CONVEX LENS OF THE EYE.
A Burning Glass That Adjusts the
Sioht to VARYING Distances.

Sight to Varying Distances.
One of the manifold wonders of the
human eye is the convex lens with
which the focal distances Of sight are
made instantly and without mental eff
fort. This lens in the eye is literal
burning glass;" as the small boy styles
the glass lens with which he focuses
the suns rays and sets fire to piece
of paper. Just In this sense, too, is the
lens of the eye literal burning glass,
as may be shown by the simplest of
experiments.
Let the person at midday hold a
straw against the face Of the sun and
focus his eyes on the straw. He can
look at the straw, with its background
Of dazzling sun, and without discom-
fort. But the moment he looks at the
fiery ball of the sun itself. subcon-
sciously the lens of the eye comes to
its proper focus, with the result that a
burning sun spot appears on the re-
tina of the eye, aud it is said that a
few seconds of such looking would
burn out the retina as if by fire itself.
In the subconscious adaptability of
the eye lens to adapt itself to different
distances lies its value to the human
sight. The man with camera adjusts
the focus of his lenses by sliding them
forward and back. The lenses of the
human eye, by changing their curva-
lures, allow of one looking at fine
print six inches from his nose and in
a fraction of a second to look up and
away, probably fifty miles to noun
tain peak that in an instant is in true
camera focus.-Pittsburgh Press.

The $50 mile trough of Lake Erie lies
approximately in the direction of the
west to southwest winds which prevail
in that part of the country. Thus the
lake offers an excellent opportunity for
studying the effects of the wind upon

very interesting these effects some
times prove. Rhythmic gusts produce
a rocking motion and great blows from
the west or southwest sweep the liquid
body of the lake eastward and some
times cause rise Of eight feet OF

A CURIOUS ACCIDENT.
II Caused the Wreck, Long Shrouded

Il Caused the Wreck. Long Shrouded
In Mystery, of a Schooner.
The queer accidents that have hap
pened to Maine vessels would fill
volume, and some of them would not
be believed An old coaster captain
recalled the mysterious wreck of the
little schooner Active in Fox island
thoroughfares some years ago. 1t was
in the fall of the year, and the Active
was going through the narrow pas
sage between the islands. She carried
only two men. the master, Captain
Ray, and his sixteen-year-old son.
When last seen under sail the Active
and his father below taking a nap, as
1t was afterward found Next day the
Active was found on the rocks, with
her stern stove in. the master drown
ed in his bunk and the boy dead at
the wheel with a bullet hole in his
head.
This discovery caused great sensa-
ton, and there appeared to be no mo-
tives for any one to kill the boy, and
as 1t was known that the shot must
have been fred by a third person, the
whole affair was a mystery and re-
manned thus for years, when a man in
a distant state confessed on his death
bed that it was he who fred the shot
that killed the helmsman of the Ac-
tive.
The man said that he had fred at a
hawk, which was circling low. and did
not see the schooner which suddenly
came into range. owing to an interven-
ing clump of bushes. Then he was
Mortified to see the boy at the schoon-
ers wheel throw up his hands and fall
to the deck, while the vessel preached
to and was driven ashore by the wind
and tide. The gunner. who was after
gulls and ducks, fed without waiting
to investigate the result of his unfor-
tunate shot. fearing that if he reported
the matter to the authorities he might
