the great tragedies of peace as well as
the greater barbarities of warfare. it
has extended a helping hand when it
was most needed. Tender mercy still
lives even amid scenes of shocking
cruelty, fact which helps to main

And at a time when men seem set

delay. They shall bear water to slake
the burning thirst born of bullets and
battle, and bandages for the wounded,
and healing for the sick Of pestilential
places which follow in the wake of
war. But even more important, they
will keep before the world the finer
teachings of mercy and tenderness:
the lofty sentiment of helping one an
other, that it may not be wholly dis
torted or destroyed by armies bent on
death and devastation. They are a

On the top of a very high mountain
stood a castle.
The guard by the gate was a giant.
and he had three heads.
In the castle lived a princess all
alone, excepting for the servants, and
all the servants were deaf and dumb.
The little princess was a captive in
this castle, and an old witch had car
ried her off when she was very young.
and hidden her here with this strange
company of servants and guards
around her.
All this was done because the son
of the old witch, who was the three

become prince and the witch had
asked the king for the hand Of his
daughter when she grew up.

ago when the creeks all poured in a
much greater volume of water and be-
fore the country became SO thickly
populated. In those days we used to
catch some real fish In the old Repub-
lican river. We have caught with q
hook and line, catfish weighing 40 and
SO pounds and perch weighing as high
as IS pounds. In those early days there
were no SEEMING restrictions and we
have seen 100 lb. catfish dragged out
on the sandbar. along with wagon
loads of big buffalo fish-a humpback-
ed member of the sucker family

then abounded with bullheads, sun
fish, dace and club and it was easy
to supply the family table with fresh
water fishes.

HOW ADVERTISING WORKS.

Among the great inventions of the
nineteenth century was the power
press with its enormous capacity,
writes Maurice Switzer, in Leslie's.
Public schools had become general,
illiteracy was or the wane and condi-
tions were ripe for the dissemination
of information 1t was then that the
power Of the press was added to the
efforts Of the salesman. and the manu-
facturer began to tell his story to the
millions in less time than the drum
mer" could talk to dozen. Modern
advertising. therefore, is the direct re-
suit of increased productions; it was
concurrent with the development of
the arts and crafts and an essential
part of progress and development.
Nobody denies that there is an oc-
casional abuse OF advertising. Public
ity is a power, and it may be welded
for good or evil. Quack medicines
have been exploited, but no more so
than fake reformers. In legitimate
fields, however. the secret of low price
is rapid proc action, and to maintain
a low price there must be a market
for the product Not a spasmOdic mar
ket, but a steady demand that will
keep pace with production. There Is
but one way to, retain such market.
once it is obtained. and that is to make
a product that will be so good that
those who buy 1t once will buy 1t again
and again.
The greatest expense in business to-
day is the matter of distribution. 1t
is easy enough to produce. but mar
keting is a vastly different matter. The
man who makes something in Bridge
port finds that he cannot sell all he
can produce III that town, so he has
to seek a market outside Of his i'm
mediate environment. Through the
means of publicity he can tell all the
people about his goods, from Boston to
San Francisco. and he can do it over
night. Advertising facilitates distribu-
ton and anything that makes the
marketing Of goods easier and quicker

Reading Character by Colors.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

Did you ever try to read character
by color combinations?
If you haven't. try it some time. 1t
is an interesting study.
OF course, don't mean that the
colOrs woman combines will reveal
minute details about her character,
but they will often give you an in
teresting clue to the general type to
which she belongs.
For intance, blue and white, or pink
and white is an absolutely simple and
obvious color combination. 1t is the
kind which children appreciate and
which becomes them best. 1t is like
a childish melody in which some very
simple phrase is reiterated.
Pink and green is just a little less
obvious. I feel sure that the lady in
the pink hat with the green wreath
is sweet, nice, commonplace sort of
person. and when she turns her face
towards me, 1t carries out that con-
lecture. 1t is sweet and rather pretty,
although entirely without that pecu-
liar force which we vainly try to de-
fine by calling it Fascination" Had
I seen the face first I fancy I could
have deduced the pink and green
from it.
Also. given that color combination
and that face. one could guess the
general character of her conversation.
She Is the sort Of person who has a
fine fund of friendly remarks about the
weather; she says the nice. obvious
thing on all subjects and she is given
to bromidioms, seldom missing a
chance to say, ut never rains when
you take your umbrella" 1 am sure
she would be pleasant though not slim
ulating to live with.
When I was a child was told that
blue and green did not ''go together"
Ny eyes were not opened on this sub
ject until a dramatic reader came to
our town one evening in a gown in
which the blending Of blue and green
was as exQuisitely harmonious as her
beautiful voice. She read The Lady
of Shalott" to music. and simultane-
ously satisfied the eye and ear and
brain.

not carelessly throw any two shades
together, but the color music which
you create is proportfonately beauti-
full 1t is to the simple and obvious
combination of pink and white what a
complex harmony is to a popular song.
1t is "close harmony: mistake would
be fatal; success is its own reward.

brown and black are two or three
more examples of the less obvious
color harmonies. Pale pink and deep
