CHAMPS AGAIN PICKLED. Wlltse was so stingy to the cubs yesterday that the world's champs were pickled, 1 to 10.

Yet even that would have been so bad had said heaver kept where he belonged while at bat. But to have him cudgel a two-bagger with a chum on third was carrying the fun a little too far.

THE HORSE THAT DREW THE LOAD. (BY HERBERT KAUFMAN). A moving- van came rolling down Jackson boulevard the other day with a big spirited Percheon In the center and two wretched nags on either side. The Percheon was doing all the work, and it seemed that he would have got along far better in single harness than he managed wit hhls inferior mates retarding his speed The advertiser who selects a group of newspapers usually harnesses two lame propositions to every pulling newspaper on his list, and, just as the van driver, probably dealt out an equal portion of feed to each of his animals, just so many a merchant is paying practically the same rate to a weak dally that he is allowing the sturdy, profitable sheet. Unfortunately the accepted custom of inserting the same advertisement in every paper acts to the distinct disadvantage of the meritorious medium. The advertiser charges the sum total of his expense against the sum total of his returns, and thereby does himself and the mest puller an injustice by crediting the less productive sheets with results that they have not earned. It's the pulling power ot the newspaper as well as the horse that proves its value, and if 'advertisers were as level headed as they should be, they would take the trouble to put every paper in which they advertise on trial for at leas't a month and advertise a different department or article in each, carefully tabulating the returns. If this were done fifty per cent of the advertising now carried In weaker newspapers would be withdrawn and the patronage of the stronger sheets would advance in that proportion. There are newspapers in the city of Chicago that are, single handed, able to bnlld up business. Their circulation is solid muscle and sinew all pull. It isn't the number of copies printed, but the number copies that reach the hands of buyers it isn't the number of readers but the number of readers with money to spend it Isn't the bulk of a circulation but the amount of the circulation which is available to the advertiser it Isn't fat, but brawn, that tell in the long run. There are certain earmarks that indicate these strengths and weakness. They are as plain to the observing eye as the signs of the woods are significant to the trapper. The news columns tell you what yau can expect out of the advertising columns. A newspaper always finds the class of readers to which it Is edited. When its mental tone is low and its moral tone is careless, depends upon it the readers match the medium. ' No gun can hit a target outside of its range. No newspaper can aim its policy in one direction and score in another. No advertiser can find a different class of men and women that the publisher has found himself. He is judged by the company he keeps. If he lies down with dogs he will arise with fleas. (Copyright, 1908, by Tribune Company, Chicago.)
