Short Talks on Advertising
No. O..
BY R. S. NEWMAN.

Advertising is merely telling people what you can
do for them. If you tell them often enough and in
the right way there is no possibility of failure No
man ever made a success of business without some
sort of advertising He may not have called it adj
vertSing but it was advertising just the same.
Back of business success are earneStneSS, energy,
persistence and concentration. Between these and
achievement is advertising.
When a man goes into business he has some cards
printed, and when he meets an acquaintance there
after he pokeS out card and says ''When you are
down my way drop in" That's advertising. The
trouble is you can't repeat the operation often enough
personally. What you can do is to put the card and
remark more or less deliberately expressed into such
a paper as The News Times and have it handed to
thousands of people in one day. The difference in
men that causes to do this and another to refuse
is small. That is it looks small at the start But it is
like most all little things when you stop to analze it
and figure it out to its ultimate result, you find it
grows into proportions of great magnitude If your
advertising is honest it will pay.

NEVER MIND YOUR MISTAKES.

The people who make mistakes lead
the world.
The perfect people work for them.
running errands and counting columns
of figures
Only trifles are always true Every
great and serious truth has an OBJ
verse side which is also true.
Prof William James was the great
est psychologist of our time. but the
best he could do in defining truth was
this:
THE truth is simply what will
work"
Whatever is may not necessarily
be right, in spite of Pope; but what
ever is is. That is the main point
And it is every mans job to accept
the is-ness and get down to business.
Most mei- have the wrong location,
have taken up the wrong profession,
have failed to improve the opportu-
mites for education they had in
youth, have not married the women
ideally suited to them. have not the
money, influence and position they
need to show what's in them.
And they are of two classes. One
class sits around the loafing places
and tells it's woes, and whittles. and
pities itself. The other plucks up,
forgets it, takes the situation as it is
and makes the best of things.
The genius is not the man who new
er made mistakes, who had his chance
thrust on him. who was endowed and
all that; he is the man who had no
chance and was not gifted. but who
took the raw material of life and fate
as he found 1t and made something
fine out of it.
The only perfect person you will
ever meet is the perfect fool.
The faultless-they are the biggest
frauds of us all.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. - Sens.
Lewis and Sherman of Illinois as
everybody knows, differ from one an
other even as the moth differs from
the butterfly. Lewis is our most eApen-
sive-looking senator. He gives the
impression Of having had his clothes
selected for him by a committee Of
man on the other hand follows the
Biblical injunction to take no thought
of what We shall wear
Politically as we'll as sartorially,
Lewis and Sherman have little in
common. One is a democrat, the other
republican, and there is practically
nothing whatever on which they
agree. They are both senators from
Illinois, and when you have said that
you have summed up practically about
everything in which they are alike.
Yet the two are great personal friends
and each has a great admiration for
the other. Perhaps it is because each
possesses so many qualities that the
other lacks.
A day or two ago Sherman stood in
the pirate lobby back of the senate
talking to a friend. Lewis. all incar-
cerated in his syncopated clothes,
THAT man yOnder is my colleague,
Sen. Lewis" sherman told his friend.
Good man. too. Don't ever think
just because he dresses funny that he
isn't a keen one. That fellows one of
the best lawyers to be found in the
senate today. You wouldn't think so
from his clothes; but he is
Not more than five minutes after
that Lewis paused to pass the time
of day with a newspaper man. His
glance fell on Sherman as the latter
was passing through the door into the
senate chamber.
There's a man that's got brains"
remarked Lewis, jerking his thumb
toward Sherman. He's rather plain
looking as to dress. but he has one of
the clearest, best minds that l ever
knew. / regard him as one of the
really big men of the senate. You'd
never guess how smart he is just to
look at him, though, would you?"

getting manned or killed he took
long breath, like a man VINO had Just

Sen. Reed of Missouri is a plausible
talker. When he makes a speech he
performs marvellous feats just like a
magician. Give him one harmless
little fact to start with and first thing
you know he'll pull a score more of
facts from out of somewhere. You
wonder where so many facts come
from. At first you look and there is
scarcely q fact in sight; then Reed
gets to talking and there they are.
Or ii they are not there they at least
seem to be there.
When Reed was practicing law in
Kansas City 1t used to be said of him
that the decision of the jury depend
ed entirely on whether he made the
final argument.
As one old acquaintance of Reed
puts it:
ITO let Jim Reed have the final say
before q jury is almost certain TO
work a travesty on justice"
