MODERN NEWSPAPER NAN.

The o newspaper correspondents
attending the national Democratic con.
%yention in st. Louis were invited by
Mr.. August A. Busch, head of the An
heuser-Busch Brewing company, to a
mint julep function at his home. Less
than 100 accepted, and a score of au-
tomobiles the host had engaged for
the occasion went away empty. One
OF those who declined the hospitality
wrote Mr.. Busch as follows:
"The time has passed when news
paper men can keep the pace of the
fastest men in the world and NEEDLE
with even the mildest of intoxicants.
This fact is recognized in the most
practical way by a large majority Of

tremendous and the weather abom-

the infinitesimal space of time that

that liquor does slow down the brain

sREwERIEs NOT ADVERTISER.

At the recent national convention of
advertising men held at Philadelphia
the delegates from Milwaukee conspic-
uously omitted all reference to the
product which made their city famous.
A mammoth banner stretched in front
of their headquarters informed the
public that Milwaukee produces &c.,
100000 in iron, steel aud mmaAinery
each year; $45, 100000 In packed and
prepared meats; $43,OOO 900 in leather
and leather products, and various other
useful commodities but there was
nothing about its ~breweries.
'"Talk to the forty delegates from
that city and you'll notice the same
thing" says the North American of
Philadelphia. They'll throw up their
hats over their largest tanneries'-and
not a word about beer. They'll become
enthusiastic owe their 5000 manufac-
turing plants without mentioning he
breweries. Talk to a member of the
Milwaukee Ad. club, and he'll fill your
ears full of the wonderful achievements
of-not full-page boozs ads, but a
church advertising c~aDroaign."
The same thing was noticeable In the
literature distributed. Banks published
folders advertising the city as a home
for business and omitted mention Of
the brewerles. There was not a placard
or a printed page in evidence at the
convention on Milwsukee's much.

NELSON COULD PRONOUNCE 1T

During the call of the calendar in
the senate some time ago a bill pro-
viding for relief for the owners of q
certain steamship was reached. The
clerk glanced at the title, read a small
part of it and stopped. "Let the clerk
read the entire title" suggested a SEN
ator.
The clerk, to speak figuratively.
c~ourageously backed off and made a
fresh start. He succeeded well enough
with the first few words, but at length
he bumped into "BruuSgard Kiosterud

me of the owners of the steamship
business. He tried to pronounce it but
his best efforts availed nothing except

WINSLOWS FAMOUS FEAT

Admiral Cameron McRae Winslow,

during the war with Spain when as
Lieut.. G. MGR. Winslow he cut the
cables in Cienfuegos harbor, Cuba
with the Spaniards firing from a dis
lance of $50 yards.
In this engagement a marine was
killed and nine men-including Lieu
tenant Winslow-wounded. Winslow
was wounded in the hand. His promo

for Extraordinary heroism."
Winslow and his men went out in
sail and motor launches. With the

is great in his instant grasp of a stu
alton, his perception of the needs, his
vision of the NEXT hour General
Joffre is his warmest admirer."
General Foch, like General Joffre,
comes from the Pyrenees. He is a
gallant, picturesque figure. He is not
tall, five feet six inches in height, but
you do not see that until afterward.
What you see first is his eye. He has
a large, well-shaped head, rather thin
iron-gray hair and a broad, high fore
head. His gray eyes. set wide apart,
