Hard Times And Advertising
Hard times! A prominent ad-
vertiser who spends a fortune every
year in publicity has%established a
significant rule. Whenever he
notices a slowing up of business he
increases bis advertising This is
his reason: when business is
looming it is unnecessary to fight
for it. 1t comes Of itself. But
when business is slow | insist on
having my share Of it, and the
easiest way to get it is by calling
attention to the value of my goods,
| do not wait for hard times. I
scent them in the distance and be-
fore anybody else gets busy | make
my contracts for advertising on
big scale and get my orders in be-
fore my competitors know what |
am doing" The logic and COM
mon sense of the attitude of this
gentleman account in a large part
for the remarkable success he has
achieved

A Baby Grave Found

For few days past we have heard
a rumor of a babv's grave being
found in the woods of J. B. Boyle
back of the residence of Drew Boyle
east OF town. On Sunday we visit
ed our father A. Goddard, and
while strolling through the woods
near his place, we came upon the
gave. Thinking it very strange
that a grave would be dug away
back in the woods. and every cir
cumstance pointing to foul play. in
company with Mr.. Boyle, and sew
eral other gentlemen, we went to
the grave and dug down to the bot
tom Of it but did not find anything.
The grave was about three and one
half feet de p, four feet lorg and
about two feet wide. A mvsteay
surl ounds the matter which we ara
unable to latham, whether there is
a tragedy connected with the same,
we do not know, but we do know
that it is perfect grave. and no
one would take the trouble to dig it
without some object in view. It is
rumored that two other graves have
been found elsewhere on places near
town. An investigation should be
made by officials.

Keep Children
OFF the Streets.

How many OF the fathars aid
mothers that read the Sentinel know
where their children are and whsr
they are doing in the evenng be
tween and 10 o'clock2
| can tell them where some ot
them are, and also, that unless ap.
pearances are altogether deceptive,
they are going to the bad pretty
fast. The devil teaches night
school every evening on tie street
and in the little shadow out of the
way nOoAs and corners. and the
poor things are slipping away at an
eaFy but rapid rate from the inno-
cence and sweetness with which
they were born.
A child is a beautiful thing when
it first comes into the world, but
Ike all things that are exquisitely
constructed it takes very little to
bruise it and to tarnish it. 1t is
easy to drop an inkspot on a sheet
OF clean paper. but not 80 easy TO
erase it, for it soaks into the tissue
OF the paper. And all OF this is not
so much the fault OF the children as
1t is their fathers and mothers.
In addition to bringing children
into the world it is the business of
parents to take care of them after
they have been brought in, and let.
ting them run wild is no more tax
ing care of them than letting them
60 without food and clothing would
be.
Do your boys belong to a gang
that goes proving about the streets

pursuit of mischief?

TENNIS NO GAME FOR RWEAKLINGS NOW
(New York Sum-

MT. Maurice E. Mclaughlin the ten- his player, is reported as saying that Q five set match of tennis makes far greater demand upon the physical strength than ten mile run does. It depends entirely upon the nature of the competition in each case. A ten mile race in fast time with "a gruel- ling finish is one of the severest or deals that an athlete can undergo; his vitality is completely exhausted, and the strain upon his heart is so great that he may be permanently injured.
 So in tennis match the player who is forced to fight for the lead in a great many deuce games and can ov- ercome his opponent only by playing extra games in two or more sets is pretty well blown and very muscle weary at the end; but he is seldom in a state of collapse, as the ten mile runner often is.
 If not the next day, then on the sec ond day, the tennis player is able to appear at the net in fairly good form, ready to, renew the battle, but the runner requires a much longer rest Men play in championship tennis matches up to the age of 40 and later, as witness the cases of Larned and Dixon. It is rare that ten mile run ners can meet all corners at the age of 40. In the metropolitan athletic clubs there are men past the age of 90 who can hold their own in a five set match of tennis with any youngsters but the very best of them.
 It used to be the fashion of lockers on to regard tennis as a ladylike game in which the physical exertion put forth was negligible. but few sports take more toll of the vitality In sin gles especially great deal of ground must be covered. and skillfuI players exhibit almost as much agility ac- rooats. Two we'll matched youngsters of the Mclaughlin type who put their whole strength into their service and

BULL ANDERSON WINS
 FROM TOMMY BERGEN

E
 Bull Anderson and Tommy Bergen, two welterweights of New York, fur nished the patrons of the Atlantic Gardens A c. last night wSth an un- scientific ten-round sessioA There was not, however. an idle moment dur ing the thirty minutes of milling, and what each of the men lacked in know1- edge of the game which is sponsored by the State Athletic Commission they made up in s1am-bang hostilities which kept their followers on the anxious seat throughout
 The concensus of opinion at the end was that Anderson had the better of the go. He certainly weathered the storm of wild swings which were sent his way in better style than his oppo- nent who, at the end was inclined to hang on and take chance of lasting through the bout without the knockout sign being registered against him. So anxious were the men to get in the sleep punch that in several instances the referee. Billy Moore stopped we'll intended swings with his jaw.

FILIPINO TEAM
 TO PLAY YOSTS

Manager Tom Keenan of the Rem ington-Yost club, believes that he has scored a triumph in booking the Ffli- pino team for next Sunday at Yost Field. The Filipino outfit arrived in this country only last week and have already played six games, winning every one including a contest with the Ridgewood Independents, the crack semi i-professional club of Brooklyn.
 Manager Keenan had to come across with a big guarantee to book this con test but feels that because of the sup port given to She Yosts during the sea son that the fans want the best there is to be obtained The New York pa pers in commenting upon the invading players state that they are much speedier on the bases and in the field than the Chinese players but are not as strong in batting. Those who saw the Chinese players in action at Yost field know just what speed is, as the Celestials are the fastest ever to ap- pear in these parts. Another big at traction booked by Manager Keenan is a contest with the New York Police team on Labor Day mroning. Artie Romer, a, forrnergBrfdg geport pitcher, is the chucker for the cops
