The river in its grandeur winds gracefully through the lofty mountains, the sides of which are cultivated to an almost incredible degree, but successfully to a degree which any one will testify to who has drank of the wine from the Rhine.' "At 7:50 that evening we left old 'Father Rhine at Bingen. Oct. 2 was spent at Mayence and Carlsvuhe, and the third at Muenich.

By Kltwrt Hubbard. j Advertising is the education of the i public as to who you are, where you arc, and what you have to offer in way of skill, talent or commodity. Life now is human service. To deceive is to beckon for the commissioner in bankruptcy. Nothing goes but truth. We know this because for

The street cars are small and low and look very primitive; and all over where we were we had to pay according to the distance. "About two hours after we landed we visited the Cathedral Notre Dame, conceded to be one of the finest Gothic churches. It was begun In 1352 but not finished until the seventeenth cen tury. Its art treasures are Rubin's original 'Descent from the Cross,' and

A drive through the spacious avenues of the new quarter of the town will show one an agreeable contract to the antiquity of the. original city. The . mansions of the wealthy are to be found facing wide tree-lined avenues and beautiful monuments to Rubens and Van Dyke. David Turner, etc., are to be found all over the city. . "The morning of the 28th we strolled through the Rue Leys, which is the ebginning of the shopping district. The splendid stores are in every way worthy of a great city.

The wall paintings of the fourteenth century are wonderfully preserved. The gem of the cathedral is a painting, 'Adoration of the Magi,' by Stephen Lochner, painted in 1440-50, never retouched and still so clear and perfect, colors so unfaded and features so distinct that it is really astonishing. It is not an oil paintinp .but water colors mixed with egg, glue, etc. The church is full of valuable paintings and precious relics as a life size crucifix one thousand years old, links from the chains of St. Peter and his staff, a monstrance of 1658 worth one-half million, a- golden shrine containing the bones of the Maji. After seeing the tombs of Dunscobus and Albertus Magnus and other points of interest in that city we visited the Grand. Opera house and heard a wonderful rendition of the Bo

Not to advertise is to be nominated for membership in the Down-and-Out
Club.
The Adscripts and Adcrafts are op
position societies to the Mummy Trust,
symboled by the Philadelphia Club, that hoary, senile and babbling bunch of barnacles, who, having lost their rapacity to sin, alternately blab of virtue and boast of the days that are gone. , About the best that we can say of the days that are gone is t,hat they are gone. The Adscripts and the Adcrafts look to the East. They worship the rising sun. The oleo of authority does not much interest them. They want the kosmic kerosene that supplies the caloric. The idea of the "ethical dentist" who refrains from advertising was originally founded on the proposition derved from the medicos that advertising was fakery. This view once had a certain basi3 in fact, when the only people who advertised ; were transients. The mer-

We are living so fast, and Inventing so fast, and changing so fast, and there are so many of us, . that he who does not advertise is left to the spiders, the cockroaches and the microbes. The fact that you have all the buaineaa you ran well manage la no cxr-ne now for not advertising. To stand still is to retreat. To worship the god Terminus is to have the

To hold the old customers j-ou must get out after the new. When you think you are big enough there is lime in the bones of the boss, and a noise like a buccaneer is heard in the offing.
'The reputation that endures or" the Institution that lasts is the one that is properly advertised. The only names in Greek history that we know are those which Herodotus and Thucydides
graved with deathless style. The men of Rome who live and tread the boardwalk are those Plutarch took up and writ their names large on human hearts. All that Plutarch knew of Greek heroes was what he read in Herodotus. Plutarch boomed his Roman friends and matched each favorite with some 'Greek written of by Herodotus.

Paul Revere rides adown the night, fgiving his warning cry, because Longfellow set the meters In a gallop. In Brussels there is yet to be heard sound of revelry by night, only because Byron told of it. Commodore Perry, that rash and impulsive youth of 26, never sent, that tnessage, "We have met the enemy and ithey-are ours;" but a good reporter did, and the reporter' words live, while ferry's died on empty air.
