Selling Your Goods,
Efficiency of Advertising
It Must Pay

You live in 0 world of adver- Using. You see 1t upon bill boards. the walls of houses. signs and placards. You see It printed on calendars, pictures, programs, purses. pencils, note books, knives, button hooks. and hundreds of other novelties. You receive 1t through the malls as post cards. letters or circu- lars. You see 1t upon drinking cups and lunch boxes. in fact there is nothing you, can do and no direction in which you can turn without coming in contact with advertising.
 The Successful Merchant
 Advertises-
 the unsuccessful merchant does not. There are no exceptions to this rule. Look about you and draw your own compari- sons. Observe tho merchant who has the largest store. and the most property in any town, he advertises. Observe the great department stores and mail order houses. They adver- tlse. some of them spending
 Millions of Dollars per year for advertising. without which. their business would fail In O single season. They get business out of your own com munity by advertising, which proves thet advertising would pay you if properly and syste- matlcally done.

the object to be inferred, and throw
upon its side the soil that was be-
meath it. This is done equally under
all parts of the body, so, little by lit
tie it slowly sinks, and finally, like a
stage ghost, disappears below the lev
ell. With this much accomplished it
is an easy matter to draw the piled
up soil, around the edges, over the
body, pat it smoothly down, scatter
few bits Of grass and trash around,
and one would hardly know the sur
face had been disturbed. The sexton
beetle is no scavenger. He does not
practice his chosen profession merely
to get objects out Of sight, or for any
sanitary reasons whatever. 1t is the
call of the maternal instinct the in
stinct that tells him that young bee
ties of his kind, can't live and prosper
without the shelter of just such a
home as he prepares.
His only object in putting snugly
underground, the body Of the little
mouse, is to keep it in just the right
condition, until the hungry little
grubs hatch out and demand their IA
vorite food. AS soon as the mouse
has been tucked away out Of sight
and the mother beetles have deposit
ed their eggs in the carcass, the
burial squad disappears, fully satis-
fed with the work they have done.
NJ. Gleditsch, who made a careful
study Of the habits Of this interesting
little worker in clay" says, that, "in
space Of fifty days, four beetles in
tered four frogs, three small birds.

Humorous department

Dipiomacy.-Smith and Jones look
ed much alike and are frequently
mistaken for each other, says the st.
Louis Post Dispatch. One day Smith
was in a certain big hotel and went
in the dining room for dinner. The
negro waiter busily brushed off the
crumbs and said:
why, how is you, Mr.. Jones-how
is you? rs glad to see you. 1 hasn't
seen you since l waited on your table
when you all used to have little
game upstairs"
II am afraid you are mistaken" said
Smith very quickly. MY name isn't
Jones. You have the wrong man."
"Nuff said; 'nuff said," smiled the
negro, with much bowling and scrap
ing. "Ah knows all right when to
keep NAH mouf shet. All knows all
right, Mr.. Jones"

fingers twitched nervously, and a look
OF agony came over his face as he
said:
II was a young man with inform
ed ideas. l threw out queries, sug-
gesuons, wondering all the time over
everything; and to my astonishment,
the ideas took like wildfire. People
made a religion of them
Then he paused, and after few
more sentences on the holiness Of
God and the grandeur of this Book,
looking at the Bible, which he was
holding tenderly all the time, he SUD-
denly said:
- have summer-house in the
garden which holds about thirty peo-
pie. 1t is over there pointing through
the open window. I want you very
much to speak there. know you
read the Bible in the villages. To-
morrow afternoon l should like the
servants on the place, some tenants,
and a few Of the neighbors here to
gather there. Will you speak to
them"
What shall 1 speak about?' 1
asked.
Jesus Christ he replied in a
clear, emphatic voice, adding in
lower tone, and his salvation. Is not
that the best theme? And then 1
want you to sing some hymns with
them. You lead on your small in.
strument, do you not?'
THE wonderful look Of brightness
and animation on his face as he said
this I shall never forget, for he
added:
IF you take the meeting at 8
o'clock the window will be open, and
you will know that am joining in
with the singing"
How I wish I could have made
picture of the fine old man and his
beautiful surroundings on that men,

Huxley, Too, Sought Faith.
Professor Huxley, the most cele-
brated champion Of Darwin's theory
Of natural selection, has commonly
been rated among the opponents of
Christianity. Not long ago, Rev. DR..
Cornelius Woelfkin, q well known
Baptist clergyman of New York city,
told a company of Philadelphia min
lister a story concerning Huxley's in
terview with a well-known Christian
layman. He asked the Christian
worker to tell him all about his re-
ligious experiences and belief.
The man demurred, for he said he
was no controversialist or learned
theologian. Professor Huxley pro-
tested that he wanted only the mans
own story. So they talked intimately,
the man telling simply what Jesus
Christ meant to him. AS they talked
Professor Huxley arose and walked
up and down the veranda, stopping
from time to time to ask keen ques-
tions Of his friend.
At last he confronted the man, and
in a voice filled with emotion, de-
clared, II would give my right arm If
1 were able to believe as you do, and
to have your experience" After
some further words to the effect that
his scientific life had incapacitated
him for simple faith. Huxley with
drew, leaving profound impression
of his spiritcal yearning and dissatis-
ia ction upon the mind of his friend.--

UNDERTAKEN BY NATURE
Sexton Beetle a Wonderfully Interest
ing Insect.

Sexton Beetle a Wonderfully Interest
ing Insect.
Suppose q husky ditchdigger were
given the job Of burying the body Of
an elephant or a rhinocercs, using no
tools other than his hands. He might
spend the best years Of his life trying,
and, incidentally, might wear off his
fingers, and even his arms, in the
vain effort to give the huge body
burial. Now, suppose we give our
ditchdigger all the shovels, spades,
pickaxes, hoes and wheelbarrows he
could ask for, and even then it would
likely be weeks before the peanut
loving, old friend Of our circus days,
would cease to cumber the landscape.
Now there is a small insect, known
as the sexton beetle, who in a few
hours, can accomplish a task, in pro-
portion to his size, equally as great,
or, even greater. than that Of the
man and the elephant.
They call him the sexton, from a
strange habit he has of burying the
body of small birds, or small animals.
He is only about an inch long, and is
a very cheerful appearing little fell
low, brisk in his movement, and, al
ways in the biggest kind Of a hurry.
He wears a sweater Of black and
orange, rather an inappropriate garb
for one Of his calling. Where he
stays when out of a job, no one
knows. He never loafs-is never seen
just hanging around, in that aimless
sort Of a way, so common with many
of his beetle cousins. When not at
work he disappears-just simply fades
out Of sight, until hurry call comes
in, and presto! Here he Isl"
If you want to see a sexton beetle
right bad, all you have to do is to
throw dead mouse or a mole out in
the garden. You won't have long to
wait, for, in an incredibly short time
he arrives. Bustling around, business
like, and alert, he walks around the
and there with his feelers, as If meas
uring the job before him. Having
satisfied himself as to the character
Of the proposition he is to tackle, he
disappears under the body and, at
once begins work.
Called by some unknown system of
wireless, his two or three assistants,
shortly arrive, one by one, and with
out delay work themselves out of
sight, beneath the carcass of the
mouse. They do not dig hole, as
one might suppose, tumble the body
in and then cover with earth. Their
method is more original, and effect
i've. They work themselves under

ing more work than the other. So he
called down to the big fellow below

as big as you, is doing twice as much

Glancing down at the diminitive
Mickey, Pat replied:
