Advertising is just as sure as anything

Advertisement is an investment to

Fortune in Coin.

Somewhere in the world thare is 2
fortune in a coin. Among the coins
which the first Napoleon had minted
we're some millions of five-franc pieces
and he determined to pOpularize these
ir an extraordinary way. In one o.
the coins, folded to tiny size, was
enclosed a note, signed by Napoleon
and promising the sum of 100000
francs to the finder of that particular
coin Naturally everybody demanded
fve-franc coins in exchange, and as a
rule probed and dug and sounded the
metal in his eager search for the, hid
den note. But the years went on, and
yet the note did not appear. Napoleon s
plighted word is a sacred trust in the
French nation, and today the Govern
ment stands ready to pay the debt,
with interest, upon demand.

THE DEGENERATE SQUIRREL
Those in Parks Become ImprOvident
Through Dependence on Mankind
(From the Columbia State

(From the Columbia State.)
Billiards in the Northern cities in
yariabIy call forth those comments Of
tender-hearted persons concerning the
squirrels in the parks, which show how
little they know Of squirrels. The latest
we have seen is a protest against the
ordering of a carload of roasted pea
nuts, the writer claiming that this
groundnut is unsuitable to the SPUR
rel, in that it does not give him the ex-
ercise and gustatory delight following
on the use Of his strong front teeth i'll
boring for his meat,
Possibly of all creatures the squirrel
in a state of nature has less cause to
worry about the weather. He has a
thick coat He has the provident ha0-
it. He has the instinct of comfortable
quarters. He makes hay while the sun
shines and lays up nuts enough to mora
than keep himself during the worst
that winter can send him in the way of
climate. AS to the park squirrel, after
one or two generations he becomes a
different sort of animal Like the man
found in the bread line, he comes to
depend on an easy source of proyend-
err Like the man in the bread line, al
so, he takes what is charity as a mat
ter of right When the winds howl and
there is no possibility of getting a berth
in the OPEN and food and warmth be-
come dire necessities of the moment,
the casual citizen is glad to get pos
session Of a snow shovel In the sum
mer, work insults him, and it is so with
the easy-going squirrel, who has NJ
hard nuts to crack, and who is happy
with a superior wisdom ON his oily
peanuts. There is no more sense in
plying a wild squirrel than there ever
was for condoling with a wild Indian
in the buffalo country; and it is al
most as foolish to talk of black wal
nuts for park squirrel as it would be
TO tell typical city hobo to go out and
snare hares for his keep. Civilization
has more crimes to answer for than
the men it produces.

which is an elegant silk affair. was
presented the college several years
ago by w. S. Howell of this city
and is drilled for by the different com

interest always attaches to the win
