UT WONDER If George will writer
Nancy asked me at the breakfast
table one morning last winter. George
was recent guest of ours who had
been eating our breakfast bacon for q
few days and occupying my comfort
able bed while bunked on hard cot
In the cold attic
VERY unlikely" 1 replied. for l am
older than Nancy, and have had ex
perience with summer school lecturers
and interscholastic visitors. and dele
gates to societies and conventions who
have lodged with me for a season and
have never afterwards been heard
from. My faith was, therefore, weak
Most men pay their taxes-and some
pay their club dues and their laundry
bills-but too few pay the little debts
Of courtesy which they owe to those
who have entertained them or who
have shown them thoughtful kind
nesses.
In time we answer a business letter,
or an invitation to dinner, but TO our
friends, unless we want something, we
seldom write.
Perhaps 1t may be selfishness that
holds us back from voicing our thanks,
or our congratulations, or our words
of coincidence to our friends, and the
letter is not written and the debt Is
not paid. Sometimes ii Ia ignorance or
inexperience CT self-consciousness we
do hof tho conventions Of
society require that we should pay
these obligations, just as we must call
after we have been to dinner party,
or must pay the gas bill before the
tenth of the month IL We expect the
discount.
Nothing brings more pleasure than
the unexpected personal letter, the
gracious note Of thanks, or a line OF
congratulations when one has met with
happiness or good fortune It's like
getting an unexpected check from
home, or having your salary raised, or
finding IS bill In an old pair OF
trousers
Don't come In on a freight train
Christmas letters should get of before
Easter; letters Of congratulation should
not be delayed until the event has lost
Its Joy or has been forgotten If
Interscholastic is in May, you should
write your letter of thanks before Au-
gust. Even from a purely selfish point
Of view 1t would be a good thing to
learn and practice the art Of paying
these social debts There are few
things that bring one surer favor. or
that give one better standing with
ones friends than a reputation for
in letter writing
l met George in Detroit last week
BE told me that he had enjoyed my
bed and Nancy's bacon, and he apollo
yized-but he really had intended to
write.

1T PAYS TO ADVERTISE

THE little shops which line the
i streets in Florence have marvel
ously attractive displays The Ital-
ian has an eye for color and proper
ton and he uses all his skill In the
Arrangement of his goods One enters
the shop with interest and enthusiasm
only to find that il is a case Of few, II
any bananas The little dinky show
case In the dark interior is almost
empty. Every thing is in the window.
There Is little or no stock in reserve.
You go out a little disappointed; you
had expected much and found little.
1t pays to advertise, and many pub
lie and professional men go into 1t e1-
tensively. Hughes was one OF these.
He had fine front and an impressive
manner. He never went out Of town
without detailed mention in the local
paper. He never did anything or said
anything or contemplated doing or say
ing anything that did not receive dou-
ble-headed attention from the press
Our distinguished citizen. the Hon
W. ]. Hughes" etc. You know the
rest. He may have bought a baby
buggy or had a tooth pulled but he
believed in advertising. The only trou-
BILE was that when you got inside his
intellectual shop. the showcase was
empty. His display was all In the
window.
Bill Milliken was very different. He
was shy and reticent In conversation
and unaggressive in meeting people.
His little dark office was reached by
a rickety stairway which had seldom
felt the touch of a broom. The sign
that announced to the public "Wil-
liam Milliken. Attorney" was painted
in black and could hardly he read
Bits show window was very badly ar
ranged. His advertisements were
poorly written. But when you got into
his establishment and talked to him
a while. you found he had the goods
beautiful things which he could at
tractsvely display. The facts were
that Bill knew more than any other
lawyer in the county. Ten minutes of
his advice was worth more than an
hour Of Hughes. He simply didn't
know how to advertise.
As said II pays to advertise. and
some men dosoo little of IT. but II you
do advertise. you ought TO have the
goods.

Lancaster slowly, clasping his hands

sive, odd gesture. he leaned still

REPRESENTATIVE FUR FARMER MAGAZINE IN
 TOWN ON WAY SOUTH

A X Bass. representing the Fur Fa,,ner Magazine of Seattle, who has been touring Alaska the past 1e" months in the interest of his publlca- ton, returned to Seward yesterday on the Admiral Watson. MT. Bass has visited all the fur farms in the vicln- ity of Wasilla, Kodiak, Seldovia and Cook Inlet, and leaves on the Alaska for Latouche, from which point he will visit the fur farmers of the Prince William Sound district. He states that after a careful investigation of the sections visited that it is his be- lief that no finer fur can be grown anywhere thin in this section, and de- clares that it is necessary only for the fur farmer to push his breeding stock and show his fur to get the business. The average fur is as good or better here than seen anywhere.
 Mir. Bass states that the largest mink ranch he has seen west of Wis consin is located at Wasilla, owned by James St. Clair. These animals are doing fine and promise good returns to the owner. At Port Graham, John son & Thompson have a large num- Der of animals, also in fine condition. Two marten farms were visited by MT. Bass but the output is dubious as the animals so far have not bred in captivity.
 While in Kodiak he visited with MT. White, of the Southwestern Alas ka Blue Fox Farmers Association and also saw Karl Armstrong Wm. Frs kline and others. He spent a month in the Cook Inlet district, visiting 39 out of AZ farms and saw all the fur farmers but one. He also visited the Kachemak Bay district, Bradley river, Port Graham, Pt. Chatham, Seldovia, and other points. He believes that Cook Inlet is an ideal place for fur farming. MT. Bass declares without boast that no man in the United States has judged or seen as many fur animals in the past six months as he has, and that he returns to Se- attle with the impression that fur farming will soon be the leading in- dustry in Alaska.
 MT. Bass left at noon to visit the silver black fox farm of MT. DeLong across the bay and will return this evening.
