Why He Advertises.

A prominent business man of Mich
igan explains why he advertises and
why he uses newspapers for that pur-
pose, as follows:
81 advertise in the newspapers be-
cause / am.not ashamed of my goods
or my work, and to let people know
stock: because l cater to the intelll-
gent class and they read the papers
and believe in increasing my business
because can talk to more people
through the newspapers at greater
distance in less time and at more
reasonable price than in any other
way; because nv newspaper adver-
tising has brought me greater returns
for the least expenditure of any ad-
vertising l have done; because when
write an ad l am not too stingv to
paw for placing it in the best possible
medium to have it inserted so it is
attractive, because l know my ad is
seen and read by everyone in the
house where the paper goes. y

A Wilv Mockino Bird,

A naturalist tells of droll exhibition
of fun evinced by a mocking bird. 1t
had only recently been captured and
was placed near another cage in which
were two canaries, both excellent sing
ers. The mocking bird at first seemed
TO be struck dumb by his voluble
neighbors; but, as it turned out after
ward. he was only biding his time
For several days he remained silent
taking notes, until he had mastered
their song, when one day, without even
a preliminary rehearsal, he burst out
into a canary song in loud, ringing
tone that struck his yellow throated
neighbors mute with astonishment
After this it was a favorite amusement
of his to drown the voices of the ca
naries with his own loud notes when
ever they attempted to sing.-Detroil

HIS MEMORY CLEAR.
The Witness Proved to the Lawyer
That He Could Remember.


A story is told of an eminent lawyer
receiving a severe reprimand from
witness whom he was trying to brow
beat. 1t was an important issue, and
in order to save his cause from defeat
II was necessary that the lawyer should
impeach the witness He endeavored
to do it on the ground Of age in the
following manner:
How old are your asked the law
yer.
"Seventy-two years" replied the wit
ness.
"Your memory, of course, is not so
brilliant and vivid as it was twenty
years ago, is it?" asked the lawyer.

the witness.

THE WHITE HOUSE.
Madison's Part In Giving the Exeeu-
tive Mansion its Name.

Madson's Part In Giving the E~ecu'
tive Mansion its Name.
Just how the White House came to
be so designated is question on
which historians differ. A local his
torian in Washington thinks that the
burden Of proof tends to give credit
for the name to President Madison
The structure was made Of Potomac
river freestone, and the capitol proper
was built Of the same stone. AT the
time the British burned the executive
mansion they did lot of other dam
age. and the country was pressed for
money to repair the same. The walls
of the mansion were only slightly dam
aged, other than being blackened by
smoke. Money was scarce, and CON
gress made an appropriation to nave
the outside of the house painted. Whlte
was selected as the best color. Madl-
son in a letter to a personal frlenu
wrote: "Come in and see me at any
time. You will always find me IN at
the White House"
The executive mansion may nave
been called the White House before
that time, but this investigator says
that he has never been able to find any
record Of it. If Madison did not OIL
ciate at the christening it has been
emphatically stated by the historian
that he took a prominent part in pub
fishing the fact that the White House
was to be the name Of the mansion.
Up to the time of President Madison
the executive mansion, which is the
legal name for it. was generally spo-
ken of as the presidents house, but
since then it has been known by Its
permanent name Of White House'-EX'

RooseveIt's Wonderful Fight.
From The Oreaonian.

Whether Theodore Roosevelt cap
lures the Republican nomination or
not, whether one favors his nomina-
tion or not, the fight he has made to
secrue it and the onward sweep OF his
success will 90 down as one OF the
most striking episodes in American
history The campaign he has made
proves him one of the most wonder
full fighters thu world has known.
The Roosevelt boom started in
January, apparently for no other pur-
pose than to kill off the La Toilette
boom, which was alone feared by the
Taft men at that time. They though
so little of it that they did not dream
of it's becoming serious factor IN the
campaign. But it grew in spite OF
them, in spite of his remuneration OF
a third term. 1t rect ived tenn
porary cheek from his refusal to oe-
clare himself. but it revived when ne
announced his willingness to respond
If the people called, Still the trend
seemed to be against it. The letter
Of the seven Governors did not bring
forth the expected popular demand
La Follette's Philadelphia speech
failed to eliminate the Senator. the
Columbus speech fell fiat. one South
ern delegation after another was in
structed for Taft in March, Roosevelt
was beaten in North Dakota, Colorado,
Indiana, Kentucky, and lost his own
State of New York. He finished with
only 40 delegates
But the more things went against
him the harder he fought. Illinois
gave him his first real opportunity in
direct primary and he seized it. He
began a series of assaults on his oppo-
nents in the State with a speech al
Chicago. where the whole population
seemed to have turned out to heal
him. he tore through the State, in
different to the opposition of th'
leaders and the officials and captured
Sc of the SO delegates by plurality
of 14O, 900
That was the turning point and hi
victories have since been almost unin
terrupted. New YORK and Vernon
shrank from instructing their dele
gates against him. He went through
PENNSYLVANIA, dethroned Penrose ant
added 67 more delegates to his total
Oregon and Nebraska fell in line TO
him without hearing him. Iowa gav'
him temporary check, but Missour
compensated for it. Massachusetts
proyerbially conservative, became tn,
hope of his opponents, but the bes
they could get there was drawn bat
tie. He won the direct primaries il
MARYLAND and Colorado, the conven
tions of Idaho, Kansas. North Caro-
lima, Minnesota and West Virginia
Nothing seemed able to stop the on
ward sweep of his columns.
Then came Ohio. Taft himself de
olared that the RESULT here would b
decisive and made superhuman exer
tions to win his own state, but stat
loyalty could not stop Roosevelt an
he has five-sixths of the delegates
After that New Jersey was a fore
gone conclusion He carried all excep
one of the eleven direct primary states
, and in that one he scored tie.

A MEAL FOR A TIGER.

and to jump back with a full grown

they have known it to carry away the
bait while they were putting up the
shelters from which to shoot 1t.
1t is a fact, however, that the tiger

The Dukes Advice.

The great Duke of Wellington had an
unfortunate experience at Oxford. He
pronounced Jacobus with the second
SYLLABLE short and was duly ad-
monished. Shortly after the word
Carolus came in his speech, and proht-
ing. as he thought, by experience, he
made the second syllable long, only to
be pulled up again. Possibly he re-
flected that there are worse terrors
than those of the battlefield. This, at
least was his advice to an aspiring
orator: Say what you have to say
lon't quote Latin and sit down."-Pau

IL Scared the Mathematician, but the
Women Solved 1t.
One day a teacher Of mathematics
went shopping with his wife. He tag
ged along listlessly from counter TO
counter until they came to the dress
trimmings department, and there ne
found something in his line. Said his
wife to the saleswoman:
"How wide is that gold spangled
black crape?"
"Three-eighths of a yard" said the
girl.
How much is it yard?"
"Three dollars"
"Wel," said the professors wife,
''how much of three-eighths wide ma
terial will it take to put four six-inch
strips around a two and three-quarter
ward skirt that is seven inches mar
rover at the knees than it is at the
bottom. and how much will it costT
At the first mention of those figures
the professors head began to reel and
il reeled still more when his wife and
the girl got out pencils and paper and
began to do their sum. Presently his
wife said:
Here, dear; you know all about
mathematics. Help us solve this prob
lem, won't you?'
But the professor said: Excuse me;

air." and ANONYMOUSLY fed.
His wife came home with exactly
the amount of material required, and
the professor took her word for it that
she didn't pay a cent too much.-Phila-

The China Clay Industry.

The china clay trade seems destined 10
develop into proportions beyond expects-
ton. The china clay business has been
described as an exclusively English indus
try but other countries have had share
OF the business, especially Germany. In
commenting on the industry THE London
Statist' says:
The china clay trade hitherto has been
almost entirely in private hands, but II is
J likely that more attention will be given
I tc Il IN future. More than one hundred
and fifty years have elapsed since china
clay was discovered a few feet below the
surface at CarClsze, ST. Austell, but to-
day this product is put to many and vari-
Gus uses in the arts, mixed with other
clays for pottery and porcelain, In many
materials as a dilutsnt and in paper tex
tile linoleum. ultrsmarine and other manu-
features TO considerable extent.
The demand for and the large profits
obtainable from the marketing OF china
clay is a matter Of common knowledge
TO people in mid Cornwall especially.
There are probably some one hundred
merchants in Cornwall in the three gener-
atoms who have made great fortunes from
the industry The demand for the COM
modify is fast increasing, by virtue Of its
more extensive use in all phases Of life
and the spread of civilization. so that not
only Is there a regular market, but a
market for additional output"
