Reading the Ads.
CDaily Journal of Commerce, seattle)

Do you read advertiser,erts9 If not you may be missing much of the real of the day news that may contribute substantially toward business success. Opportunity knocks at the door of the reader of advertisements. Many men owe their to the habit of reading advertisements The ads silent saesmen, offering their proposi- tions to the reading public. Much careful attention IS put into the average newspaper or magazine ad Space is valuable and most buyers of such space have something worthwhile to say.
 The reader, passing the advertising pages and intent more entertaining reading may be short-changing himself. He may feel that there is nothing he to buy, but he may find, tucked away in the ads an inquiry regarding that which he might like to sell. Through more careful read ing of advertisements he will broaden his knowledge of what is going about him in the field of business Watch keen business reading his newspaper. He reads the news heads, and quickly selects the items of particular interest but before he turns the pages he scans the advertisements He has found that it pays not to pass the ads too hurriedly Often he finds profitable buys and profitable sales that he would have otherwise missed Opportunities offered in many ways opportunities that he cannot afford to miss. There are many business leads in the advertising columns of daily newspaper
 Many of the ads you read if you make it a habit to read ads, will have appeal to you per- sonally, but often you will find one that does one that may net you sum worth while. Thou sands of dollars are frittered away through poor advertising copy. Many papers cuttered with hodge-podge of senseless advertising but even on such pages there may be an ad that you can ill afford to miss. Some with important mes sage to you may be seeking your attention. If you refuse to read the advertisements you will miss that message Your business competitor may obtain distinct advantage if he reads the advertisements while you feeling there is nothing you cage to buy hurriedy turn the pages seeking the lighter news Read the ads It is habit that pays. And haJ ,iral+ why you passed up much constructive news during the years you felt that the reading of ads was all right for those wishing to buy for others waste of time

and safer place than an unlocked drawer in your own room for 1t? Of course, you would.
 And if you had the time, early in the morning, for instance. wouldn't you have taken the gun, cleaned and oiled it, and replaced the empty cartridge? Mind, I'm not trying to clear Dufresne, nor denying that he had the best opportunity for doing it, but there are arguments on both sides of this fence." "It's too slick a job to have been done by any one except Dufresne." Lafferty insisted.
 "No, don't agree with you there. It's cunning trick and shows a thorough knowledge of the house and its construction, but 1 wouldn't say that neither Andrews nor Don aghy could have thought of il"
 Lafferty thought it over silently. And the window from which the gun was swung is in spare room?"
 "It's a guest room, furnished but unoccupied." [
 Well, there's one thing you can't deny, Steve. This gun is mans weapon. You can't imagine any woman toting that thing around with her. The size and weight of it'd he too much of load"
 "Yes, I'll grant you that-if it was brought to this house man prob ably brought it. But we don't know that. Perhaps it was here all the time. There's nothing to prevent desperate or an infuriated woman from firing it. That fiasco of mine with Andrews seems to have ended all hope of getting at the ownership of the gun. They all know about it now and they'll deny ever having seen it."
 You can't expect them to give their boss away at this stage of the game. You know how servants are."
 There are two ways of looking at that. These four walls enclose two separate and distinct stages. There is one for the Dufresnes and the Croydens and their friends of the same class. The other stage is for the servants"

Seattles new Mayor would result in resumption of the Alaska tieup. Such fears were but natural. Rumors that the unions to prove their strength and refute assertions that they were weakening, would again blockade Alaska heard here this week Naturally they were discouragine to business and industry. Now that they have been proved groundless business and industry speed up to the gait that is commensurate with the splendid promise furnished by developments in this district. Again have the Seattle longshoremen proved them selves to be reasonable and of sound Judgment in their attitude toward Alaska. Their action will be warmly and widely commended in the Territory.

To the Commander in Chief.
(New York Herald Tribune )

To few Presidents has so magnificent an hour been granted to President Roosevelt standing on the bridge Of the Indianapolis as the might of the Navy swept by

Roosevets smile UT HIS warm message of praise to establish the especial interest which he feels in the nations inst line of defense. The record was written in ms steady, courageous support of the Navy's up building before the fleet review was thought of
 It IS simple justice, therefore to note that it iehiallea TOT this Democratic President to do for the Navy what his Republican predecessors had failed to do. In saluating the President unon the occasion of this great review we are glad to express our aomlration for the statemanship which made the roar Of these guns in honor of the Commander richly deserved tribute

 The Coast Guard is spending taxpayers money TOT fleet of seaplanes to wage war on the rum runners.
 Had we used discretion in our liquor tariffs there would De no rum rows today off the Atlantic Pacific and Gulf coasts The rum rows exist chiefly because of the huge profits to be gained oy smuggling Tn liquor to avoid the S5 gallon tariff
 The Internal Revenue Bureau is preparing to spend more of the taxpayers millions to mobilize liquor tax enforcement army of 4O00
 Sucn vast and costly bureaucracy would be unnecessary were our liquor tariffs and taxes and the profits of distiers kept within reason
 We travel in mad circle. We levy impossible tariffs and prevent the legal liquor industry from replenishing its inadequate supply of good liquor We levy stiff taxes and make even the cheapest legal liquor costly for the average mans pocket book.
 Thus make it possible for the bootleg in dustry to thrive by robbng Government of reve- nue. And the Government dssipates the revenue 1t does collect by buying more equipment and employing more jobholders to wage an uneven and unnecessary war or smugglers and bootleggers

 Sergeant Harper stood beside him, watching closely. But his expres- sion did not reflect the extreme dis appointment of Lafferty's as the lat CT strengthened up and muttered, "Not a mark-curse the luck!"
 q didn't expect to find any," liar per commented. We've got to be content with having recovered the gun and that's something at least. Direct proof of chicanery is what we've needed most in this case"
 He picked up the distorted bullet rescued from that dark cavity under the stone steps and held 1t beside the discharged metal shell. I'm sure these belong together. If they do, we've got our cornerstone in place. It won't be hard to check It up."
 Sure, it's hundred to one this is the gun. Only one bullet has been fired and the caliber looks right The barrels fouled, too." Lafferty sniffed at the muzzle opening.
 "THAT certainly was an inspira-
 l tion, looking in the gutter of the roof. Whoever put it there was a fast thinker, no doubt about that"
 Mrs. Whitmore's chance words gave me the idea. For no particular reason they called up a vision of a window being raised and the gun dangling outside with the string doubled through the trigger guard. At the same time I remembered how the caves projected over the top. floor windows. The gun could be swung higher and higher until i; landed very neatly in the gutter overhead and out of reach.
 Free one end of the string. draw it down, close the window and there you have it. The wet section. where it rested in the snow, should have told me that, and I suppose it would have eventually. but Mrs. Whitmore unknowingly logged up the process

 Just moment, Jack. We really have no proof that Dufresne hid the gun. We're assuming that the twine fell from the pocket of his robe. but we must remember that every one in the house, except Mrs. Dufresne and her nurse, was there at the time. The fact that it was found near where he was sitting doesn't prove he dropped it."
 But didn't you yourself see Du fresne searching the room for it, later"
 Lets not jump to conclusions. Jack. We've got to weigh every thing down to the last grain. If we solve this thing at all 1t will be only because we strike just the right bal ance"
 Who else could have been smavt enough to engineer it?" Lafferty challenged.
 "THAT'S dangerous way to req.
