Baron De Patterson, Very
Much a Real Man, Does His
Sex a Valuable Service

And now, case in New York of hus-
band beating.
Not the first case, by any means, be-
cause the divorce records are full of its
kind, but case that commands atten-
ton because of the prominence of the
parties.
The husband is none other than An
drew Vincent De Patterson, on whom,
only recently King Carlos of Portugal
bestowed the title of baron. for his serv-
ices in recognizing Portugars finances.
De Patterson appeared in New York
court this week as the complaining wit
ness against his wife, who was Beatrice
Anita Baldwin. daughter, she contends,
of the late Lucky" Baldwin.
The baron claimed to magistrate that
several times she has called on HIM at
the club where he lives, and, failing to
get him TO condescend TO a reconcllia-
ton. has assaulted him, while other club
members looked on.
Sentence was suspended on the woman
when she promised TO cease her attacks.
For very long we have had in society,
TO loathe and despise, the wife beaten,
the brutal husband, generally drink
crazed, answering with blow his wife's
interest in him and their home.
Just how shall we receive the husband
beaten?
1t is no light matter.
1t is very easy to conceive of hurts suf-
fered by De Patterson that were not in
flicted by the womans hand.
1t is very easy to conceive that has days
were very wretched while the woman
was in her tantrum, and that he was
made to suffer no end of embarrassment
for the spectacle the wife made of her
self before his friends.
1t is very easy to conceive that he SUI
fered, too, because he is quite man.
Let's pass the subject, then, with the
simple observation that the baron has
done much to raise the standard of his
sex from the depths to which the wife
beaten has lowered it.
Adding, merely, that woman who
would put a man in the defenseless posi-
ton the baron was compelled to suffer,
ought to be ashamed Of herself.

The Truth In Advertising.
~ Or. FRANk ckANH
Copyright. 1915. BY Frank Cransi

Listen, young man!
The ceverest man in the world is the
man that tells the truth, and tells 1t all
the time not occasionally.
Sometimes you can profit by lie. but
it is like lodging bullets; you never know
when you are going to get hurt.
Lying is game. Sometimes it is
very exciting game. But it is essen
TALLY gambling. And gambling. any sort
of gambling. is not business.
The fundamental laws of business are
just as accurate and as well established
as the principles of geometry.
1t is hard to see this, for our visual
range is limited. Most of us can see the
crooked dollar coming today. but not the
ten straight dollars it is gonig to lose
us tomorrow.
Real business success is cumulative.
1t grows like SNOWFALL. And the one
thing that makes it keep us growing.
even while we sleep, is our persistent
truthfulness and dependableness.
If you put an advertisement in the
paper announcing goods worth So for
sale at 81, and if the people come and
buy, and find out the stuff is not worth
10 cents, you may make one-day's gain.
but you have alienated lot of indignant
customers and have started to saw away
the posts that sustain your reputation.
If you have store rented for a week
only and propose to conduct a sacrifice
sale of goods that will make everybody
disguised who buys them, then perhaps
you may lie with high hand and
stretched-out arfo.
But if you are'in the town to stay,
and want regular returning increasing,
satisfied. friendly customers. it will pay
you to stick to the od-fashioned truth.
Exaggeration is lying. II does not
take long for the people in the commu-
nifty to get the habit of discounting %
per cent of all you say.
If you continually overstate and vocif-
crate, you must keep on getting louder,
until you soon become incoherent.
But if you habitually state only what
lis soberly. honestly true, by and by
everything you say will be away above
par.
A mans repute for truthfulness is as
much part of his capital as are his
store and stock; SO much so that he can
raise money on it.
As civilization progresses business be-
comes more and more an affair of credit,
Of trust The very foundation of big
business is trustworthiness. Therefore.
if you are ever going to get beyond the
peanut-stand and push-cart stage of mer-
chandise you must establish a basis of
Idependabeness.
There is not one thing in this world.
