competition it has raised the

regarding advertising and are coming
more and more to regard the state
ments OF a merchant as having the
weight OF an official. responsible
utterance OF a business mar who can
not afford to deceive his customers.
What a merchant says over his own
name must be accepted as a bona fde
statement of facts, for it is morally

At 3 a. m. Mr.. Collins arrived home

ape Syndicate.)
Once upon q time there was a kings
son who laughed at everything: in fact.
he laughed all the time. No one had
ever seen him shed a tear or even look
grave. The old king at last became
concerned to the extent OF fear that
his son and heir might be foolish. He
tried IN every way to make the prince
snow some signs of being sad and look
ing sober, but all in vain. At last the
king In desperation. offered a large
nag OF gold to anyone who could make
the prince shed a teal or look sad. One
day an old man appeared at the palace
gate n said: IF the king will allow
MS son to accompany me 1 will return
MIN IN tears without causing him any
harm." h king gladly consented and
the prince rode away with the old man,
laughing as he vent.
The king waited a%nxiously for the re-
turn or the prince, and Just as the sun
was setting he heard sounds of weep
ing. Nearer n nearer 1t came, and
nnaliy the prince and the old man rode
INTO the palace grounds. The prince
was sobbing as though in great grief,
n had to be helped from the horse.

gold. B U how did you bring 1t
about?" asked h king. THAT Is my
secret" replied the old man Give me
my gold" So the gold was brought
and the old man rode away. But by
and by the king grew tired Of hearing
the prince weep, and tried to quiet him..
This he could not do. and ven the
court Jester failed to stop the flow Of
his tears. and they decided that the old
man had cast q spell over him.. The
king at last sent for a famous dwarf
that had legs like q grasshopper and
caused all who beheld his queer antics
to burst into laughter.
The dwarf came and performed all
hts tricks and funny tumbles. but all in
vain. The prince sobbed louder. and
became angry because the prince cried
instead Of laughing at his queer feats.

No Advantage Gained On
Either Side in the Battle of
the Aisne

LONDON, Sept. 24.-Despite
the fighting which has already
occurred, Russia's real advance
westward cannot be said to have
begun, but it is now about to be-
gin, according to advices from
PetrOgrad today.
The czar's country is so large
and its railroad facilities are so
inadequate that his mobilization
was necessarily slow, today's
message again pointed out. In
deed, it was said, Russia has not
yet brought anything like its
full strength into the field but
the Petrograd war office con-
siders that it now has a sufficient
force at it's command to accom-
plish its purpose of completely
overwhelming teutonic resist
ance.
When this body of men starts,
as it was declared it is now about
to do, the Petrograd version was
that what has gone before will
seem like mere skirmishing.
The Russian "steam roller"
was pronounced Of such proper
tions that it will extend, north
and south, from the Baltic to
the Servian frontier and its
weight was said to be such that
nothing can withstand it, at least
in the opinion of the general
staff at Petrograd.
The word to start it, is was
asserted, may be expected at any
moment now.

Fighting at This Point Said
to be the BlOodiest of
the War
FRENCH Line HOLDS
REPULSING GERMANS
Russians, ServianS and Mon
tenegrins Are Aggressive
at All Points

The kaiser was holding his
own in northeastern France to-
day.
Apparently he had drawn up
his armies in an immense hollow
square against which the allies
pounded vainly.
Wedged in the angle of the
Rivers Disc and Aisne, General
Won Kluk and General Won
Boehm successfully resisted all
attempts to dislodge them.
A terrific German assault was
in progress on the French forti-
fcations from Verdun to Toul.
The French line held, how
ever.
The fighting at this point was
the bloodiest of the war.
The Russians said their bonn
bardment had reduced five of
erzemysls main forts.
They were advancing through
western Galacia, crumpling the
Austrian line, they declared, be-
fore them.
A general engagement, how
ever, it was said, was not eX-
pected in this zone for several
days.
Already the czar controlled
900 miles of Galician railroads.
The Germans still remained
masters of East Prussia.
Having followed General Rem
nenkamp to Russian territory
they had fallen into a trap, said
che Petrograd war office, and
been defeated.
