siderably over a year before placed
it on sale at the newsstands. The first
time I placed it on sale on a stand in
the loop was in December, 1912, when
the paper was IA months old; and It
was weeks before it was on all the
loop stands.
1 remember that day it started on
sale on the stands in the Lake Shore
depot. I had copies handed to people
as they bought the other papers. Not
many would take this paper as a gift.
It didn't look like a newspaper be-
cause it wasn't big like them.
Of course, this size is far more con-
venient than the ordinary size for
newspapers; but people were so ac-
customed to the regulation size that
they couldn't think of a newspaper
being any other size. They hadn't an
alyzed and figured it out that the
large and unwieIdy newspaper is big
because of the advertising.
And, as they had always seen adj
vertising in newspapers, they couldn't
think Of a newspaper without adFoE-
Using.

alleged to have debts amounting to 3d.
100000, was yesterday sentenced to a

ager Of his fathers works.
The prisoner begged the court to send
him to prison and not to fine him as
he would pay nothing. Young Thyssen.
who will some day inherit a fortune es-
timated at s25.ooo,o0o. was prosecuted for
declaring that his fathers manager was
practicing highway robbery in connec-
ton with Herr Thyssen seniors at
tempts to buy UP his sons debts.
The prisoner pleaded in extenuation that
his fathers people had tortured" him
for three and half years. He was COM
PEELED to exist on an allowance Of 500 a
month. which was already pledged to a
friend who had advanced him money. He
was sold up every week or two. He
desired that the workmen should inherit
his fathers properties, and for this rea-
son the family branded him an 'agita-
tor"
