 but do not compel"
SATURDAY. MAY II, 1888

SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1888
 Threatening aspects dominate to- day, according to astrology. The stars are ill-omened for men who wield authority. There may be sud- den changes of public opinion un- favorable to government heads.
 Labor comes under a slightly bet ter direction than it has had, but it may retard important business plans Legal interference is indi- cated where employers are hostile to workers
 Prosperity for a small minority is prognosticated through 1888. New fortunes will be acquired. Extremes in American incomes will mark the period in which the middle class will continue to decrease.
 Girls may expect gay summer. They will gain in popularity. for the stars will cause extra suscep- tibility among young men.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of certain per- plexities that may be decided by wise procedure. Men may lose busi- ness associates and deaths may change family incomes.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be precocious and extreme Nv well-bala Subjects of this sign usually are proud of their ability to succeed.

"STOP AND GO" ADVERTISING

Before these modern days of stern competition
 great deal of business was done on the old theory that if one makes good enough mouse trap no mat ter how far in the wilderness the world would make a beaten path to that manufacturers door Of course it was word of mouth advertising which depended upon for results but it wasn't recognized adverts ing then know advertising today. Stress then was placed primarily on quality.
 Quality is just essential today but competi- ton in quality and quantity coupled with the great advance in communication has left the chap with the superior trap lost in the wilderness unless he has kept abreast with competition and is telling the world about his product.
 The method of telling is what know today modern advertising. It is the vehicle by which the consumer and the producer in contact to make business. As Secretary of Commerce Daniel c. Roper said the other day in an address advertising looks to wider distribution of the products of industry hence increasing employment, social and economic progress. In other words, it keeps the business wheels turning by creating desire the part of the buying public to buy.
 The merits of advertising and the important role it plays in bringing business back keel in times of economic stress ably emphasized by the Secretary in these words:
 While advertising is not solely responsible for the of the advertiser yet those who do ognize its value likely to be progressive, alert and far-sghted in every way hence, more suc- cessful than the advertiser
 Individual initiative has always been the most

the same one"
 Sally said, T don't know what you mean. only know I'm glad you came, Dan"
 But you see ,now, which was what I wanted to prove to you, the reason I spoke of, that don't it in. I told you that, Sally, once before-remember?"
 As though she could forget! On top of a mountain, in 8 snow white world. That had belonged flor one brief, fleeting, lovely moment-jus to them alone.
 T know why you asked me to- night" Dan said. Corey had made it plain enough, he thought, now without grimnesS. You feel sorry for me. You still think you are to blame for the accident. I told you I didn't blame you for that. told you that had nothing to do with the fact that we never can be friends"
 "If we can't, it's because you won't be. Because you really haven't forgiven me. Because you won't give me another chance" !" Sally said. Her face, raised to his, was sweet and pleading in the soft golden light, her dark eyes were as grave as his.
 That's all past Dan said. q don't blame you for anything now. I'm forgiving you for everything if there is anything to forgive" How could he do otherwise when she looked so lovely in her little ging- ham dress, with the circlet of daisies for 8 crown, in her hair, when once more-for another breathleSs moment the whole world seemed to belong just to them?
 Then we are friends" Sally said. She gave him her hand, to seal the bargain. Her lips trem- bled, her heart pounded with joy. Things were going to come right now; she would make them. This was only beginning.
 "You seem to have forgot" :" Corey's voice broke in suddenly behind them, "that you're my girl for this evening, Sally, that you're still paying up on that old dare! You are my partner for the grand march and supper"

subterfuge. Then she was looking into those grey eyes, so direct, so dear, she was saying, "Oh, I'm so glad you came, Danl was so afraid you might not. It's so good to see you again"
 Its good to see you, too, Sally, Dan returned, in his quiet, grave way. ITO be frank with you, l didn't think I ought to come. But I had a special reason"
 Special or not" Sally dimpled at him, you are here - and that's all that counts" Oh, he looked so terribly thin, so pitiably white Gone was the deep smooth tan from wind and sun, the strength and vigor from conquering moun- tains. He looked different, too, in his gray suit and stiff white collar that took the place of rough sport togs.. He looked too dressed up, clothes were too new and pressed and proper.
 Sally introduced him with real pride to her other guests. She warn ed Babe, sotto-voice, to see that Dan did not feel left out, while she at- tended to her duties as hostess and got the party on it's way. She knew her friends would not mean to be rude or unkind to any stranger, but they were so completely absorbed in .ofr 0iNs ca they might forget that Dan did 1 not belong.
 Sally was determined that he should belong, and feel that he did. She made every effort all through that long evening to see i to this. But before the evening was fairly well started, Sally had to admit to herself that her party was not success. That is, so far as Dan was concerned. Oh, he joined in the games, he laughed with the rest of them, he did his part. But perhaps he would not forget that at other affairs like this he had been behind the scenes, helping in the kitchen, earning his way. Perhaps this new world was, as he had told Sally, too far removed from his But he was part of it now. Sally had brought him into it, she would 1 make things right.
 When it was time for the mid night spread Sally looked around in vain, searching for Dan. Just 8 minute before she had seen him standing apart, talking earnestly with her father, who had come out to watch the young people for a little while. But now Dan was nowhere in sight. He might have stepped outside to get breath of air. The big barn was close and crowded with so many people. "Oh, here you are!" Sally said. He was outside, standing alone, looking up at the real moon that hung a big golden ball low in the sky. T have ben hunting for you Dan. It's almost time for grand march and for the supper afterwards. I want you to be my partner"
 He turned and looked at her, searchingly, slowly. Then he shook his head. Its no go, Sally Blair," Dan said. T told you only came tonight - for a special reason. I'm going to leave - for
