How They Did 1t
Twenty-Fiue Years
AGO For Holidays

Marked difference IN holiday adver-
Using now and twenty-five years ago
is noticed by consulting the files of
December. 1891. The leading mer-
chants of the city then were the adj
vertisers. as they are today. However,
education along advertising lines has
changed the style of presenting adver-
Using facts to the readers. In those
days scarcely ever was a price Of any
article given in an "ad." The reader
had no idea what kind of a value the
merchant had to offer. To-day advertise
ing without prices is not considered
good advertising as a general rule. Tho
buying public wants to know prices,
and they appeal to the buyer as against
another advertisement in which no
prices are quoted. +.
Another marked difference in the
holiday advertising of twenty live years
ago and the present time is the
"splurge'' made then. and the more
systematic campaigns of today. Today
the wise advertiser does not spend all
of his advertising appropriation in a

found itself suddenly impeded. The
commander knew what that meant.
He strove to rise, but the steel coils
fastened themselves about him. His
nose, fitting upward at an angle, rose
to near the surface. He shut off his
electric engines, intending to use the
petrol ones for surface driving. But
he could not quite reach the surface
and the periscope, tilted backward,
allowed no glimpse of anything ex-
Cept the far horizon. Across the
glass the image of the aeroplane
kept fitting to and fro, hike a swOOp-
ing gull.
The bow of the submarine was
pointed in the direction of one of the
torpedo boats. He issued an order
and two Of his crew ran to the tor
pedo station. They drew a torpedo
from the sings and thrust ii into the
chamber. At the same instant a
bomb from the aerOplane grazed the
side Of the vessel and threw a cloud
of water over it
The oxygen Kissed, the torpedo
started, and the submarine rocked
from the recOl like a tree in a gale.
An instant later the missile, directed
blindly, found its billet With a fran
tic roar the first torpedo boat blew
up. Fifty sailors were instantly
struggling in the water. The steel
net went down with the ship, and the
submarine, partly freed, reached
the surface.
The commander ran to the turret
and, opening the breech of the little |
gun she carried, thrust in a shell.
The layer at his side fired. The shell
Missed through the air and found
lOdgment in the second torpedo boat.
Instantly gun on the torpedo
boat answered-and missed. Down
went the submarine, freeing herself |
from the clinging net, and started |
beneath the water, her periscOpe |
swishing through the waves.

except the captain. He had stayed
on the bridge to the end. His body
had gone down in the wreckage.
AS the torpedo boat raced through
the water in the wake of the peri
scope she fired again and again.
Three shells fell short, three went
too far The seventh shell struck
the pefiscope fairly and tore it away.
The submarines eye was gone. She
was blind. Instantly she rose, with
a brief delay while changing engines.
In that delay the torpedo boat was
upon her. The eighth shell pierced
the thin hull like paper. 1t made two
gaping holes, one on either side. The
submarine was doomed
The commander, at the gun, adj
justed his sights, allowing for the
list of the sinking ship, and fired. The
shell burst in the engine room of the
torpedo boat, disabling her. She
drifted helplessly upon the water.
The submarine was going down by
the stern. The commander called
through the tube to the men in the
torpedo room. One more torpedo
was left Of the store which had been
brought from port. The commander,
at the wheel, worked frantically to
bring the bow in line with the dis
abled torpedo boat five hundred
yards away. If he could get that
line before his vessel sank, the tor
pedO boat was doomed.
Upon the bridge of the torpedo
boat the captain waited. He could not
move his vessel, which drifted aim
lessly upon the tide. He could swing
her from side to side by working the
wheel; he tried to keep her bow on
to the submarine, so as to present
the smallest possible target.
The two ships watched each other,
and the aeroplane, above, watched
both. She had one bomb left. She
circled lower and lower, describing
narrowing circles above the sinking

DOGS SENT ON SPECIAL TRAINS
TO FRENCH BATTLE FRONT
(By Associated Press. J

Paris, Jan. 3.-Four special
trains of dogs have just been sent
to different parts of the French
battlefront. One train of twenty
five dogs in each car-foX terriers,
rat terriers, police DOGS and other
breeds-to be divided between diff
ferent sectors of the front and most
of them employed in chasing rats
out of the trenches. Attracted by
the remains of the soldiers rations,
rats invaded the advanced works,
shelters and trenches, even on the
first line and multiplied to such an
extent that the soldiers are incapa-
BILE of eXterminating them. Dogs are
now to be tried.
Three special trains of dogs, car
rying about five hundred DOGS each,
in a large proportion wolf hounds,
but including specimens of nearly
all breeds were a gift from Canada
to the French army. They are to be
employed mostly in the mountainous
regions. in the commissary and san
itary services, while some of them
will be trained as sentinels and
trench does.
