LOOKING FOR ROOM AT A. M
Joe Hardy Gets One But Can't Get
Out In the Morning

Only twelfth of a dozen DRINKS
appeared before Hizhonor in the
city court Monday morning. 1t was
booked as Joseph Loveley, but it
said it wasn't Loveley and it was
easy to believe, for, from an aesthet-
ic angle, it was not a success. Drunk
or sober Joe said his right name was
Hardy, so the four page complaint
that it takes to properly arraign a
simple drunk or murderer in the
Putnam city court had to be revised.
Joe admitted he was drunk, but
said he would not have been arrested
if he had not aceosted a Putnam blue
coat and asked him where he, Joe,
could hire a room. Joe said the arm
of the law told him he didn't want a
room and said, "eome with me- Joe
said he got the room but in the morn
ing found the door locked. bolted and
barred. He was given three feeds
Sunday and lodged again Sunday
night and wasn't kicking at the ex-
pense, as no bill was presented, but
thought if he would pay fine it
ought to square him with the city.
When Joe was asked if four o'clock
in the morning was the first time he
thought of hiring room, he said
that he didn't know it was $50 late"
When Joe talked he addressed the
court as "Your honor" Now when a
gent" addresses Hishonor as your
honor" Hizhonor generally gets curl
pus for, unless one is familiar with
courts and court proceedings one usu-
ally says Mister" Joe said he was
up on court etiquet from reading the
court news in the paper. He said he
had never been arrested before, al
though during his talk he said he was
one of those workers who are con-
stantly on the move hunting for job
better than the last one,
To bring the story to close: Hiz-
honor gave Joe 80 days and costs.
Joe said: "You couldn't make it

Nothing doing" said Hizhonor, as
court adjourned.

WISH THEY HAD TAKEN SNOW
SHOES
Two Putnam Ciiix-as Caught In Wor-
cester Blizzard

IF you don't believe me, ask Peter
Gardner said 8. Kamiaky, Monday
morning, after he had told how he
had to leave the Sunday morning
train at South Worcester and wade
through snow drifts $50 deep" in or
der TO get to his destination. 'The
train couldn't get through said Mr..
Kaminsky 1T was snovmg some
thing awful. couldn't believe it
when in Putnam there was hardly any
snow"
Perhaps the face of the Patriot
rep registered doubt, for Mr. Kamin-
sky insisted that if his story was not
credited he had corroberatiye wit
ness in Mr. Gardner.
Mr. Gardner verified the story and
backed up Mr. Kaminsky in every de-
tail He, Mr. Gardner, told Of getting
off the train and walking-or wading
to his daughters home. He said
that street cars were blocked and
that it was with difficulty that autos
ard other vehicles could get about at
all
When the gentlemen returned to
Putnam Sunday evening they were
pleased and surprised to find eondi-
tions different, and say trey are glad
they live IN The south where the sun
shines md snow shovels do not wear
out for years and years.

STORE WINDOW vs.. NEWsPA.
PER ADVERTISING
lFrom Willamette Chronicle


a merchant, speaking about adver-
Using the other day, said his store
window gave him al he needed and
was the best kind Of advertising.
Yet the proportion Of the people Of
this or any other community, who
ever look much at store window, is
small compared to the whole popula-
zion Street loafers may gaze long
and intently into the windows, yet
lack money to buy the goods. The
people who are busy as they hustle
around town on their errands. don't
stop and gaze thoughtfully into win
.ows
To persuade people to buy your
goods, you must appeal to their rea-
son, and address them when they are
at leisure and in a mood to consider
your arguments.
The true Psychological moment is
the half hour of leisure when people
sit down to read the home paper. 1t
is a time when people are not press
ed by work and engagements They
null over the news and advertising,
and the things that are said sink into
their minds and are considered on
their merits 1t is under these cir
~umstances that successful selling
appeals are made. This is where the
enterprising merchant drops his
hints that result in a crowd of PEG,
ple at his store.
