BUCKSHOT WAS FOR RASTUSj Turkey He Had Given to Mrs. Ransom Was Tame Enough to Eat Out of One’s Hand. Rastus had called at Judge Ransom’s house and made a present of a fine turkey to the judge’s wife. "Mah brotheh had two,” he said to ease her suspicions, “and so he gave me this one.” Mrs. Ransom gave him in return two bright silver dollars, on the condition that the bird was a tame turkey, and not the wild kind, because the judge detested getting his mouth i full of shot every time he wanted a bite. “Dose lurkeys was bofe of ’em tame enough to eat out of yo’ hand, Mis’ Ransom,’ said Rastus, earnestly. That night Judge Ransom and his wife sat down to a deliciously browned turkey, piping hot. At the first bite; she judge jumped to his feet, spitting grape shot in all [directions. “Send (or that fellow!” be shouted wrathfully. In due time a panicstricken Rastus came in trembling. “I sent for you, you black scoundrel, to ask you why in the Sam Hill you lied about that turkey not being a wild one?

STOP IKS, j campßj2B ANDW® SHARP BATTLE IN ARKANSAS Charge and Countercharge at Prairie Grove Is Graphically Related by Veteran of Chicago. Western fighting was not so dramatically set forth at the time of the war as were the campaigns of the i east, but its picturesqueness is unquestionable. It has a special claim : on Chicago’s interest because many of the men who fought in the army of i the frontier are now living In Chica- ! go. One of these, George Rettig, who J lives at 2105 Leland avenue, tails of ! his experiences at Prairie Grove in the Arkansas-Missouri campaign of : 1862. The story is as follows: “After the battle of Rhea’s Mills we • came down to the place known as Prairie Grove. Here our position was on high ground on the concave side of a bend made by the valley of a little stream. Beyond the creek and the level land that bordered it was another rise of ground, on which the Confederates had their battery hidden in the woods. “The Third Wisconsin cavalry, my regiment, was at the right, and the . Twentieth Wisconsin infantry was at the center. This regiment started, out first. Down the hill they went, with the fire of the rebel battery converged on them, and across the level ground and up the other hill they made their way, climbing a fence to reach the wooded ground. They reached the guns and a captain had planted a flag on the battery when the whole line of Confederate infantry, which had been reserved for this purpose, rose up and threw the Wisconsin men back down the hill. More than 100 of our men were left hanging on the fence or dying in the woods. “Then the secesh came out in turn. They aimed for a point half way between my regiment and the Twentieth Wisconsin. Here Rapp’s Indiana battery was set up. The Confederates tried to charge the battery, and every time they were driven back by a rain i c’o It Was Like Shooting Into a Flock of Chickens. * of grape and canister. It whs like shooting into a flock of chickens. The. Confederates spread, for a moment and then came back again to the charge. They were piled five and six high in front of the guns before they were ordered back to their lines. “Evening came, and there was no more fighting, and in the morning when we expected to be attacked we found that the enemy had left. So we went down and took Van Buren and Fort Smith. There was not much trouble there. W’e came down from the high ground into the city after an engagement with some Texas rangers, and we found the place deserted by the men. The sdeesh were on the other side of the river with a" battery and they shot canistei 1 and grape across the water and up the streets. We put a Union flag on the courthouse, and they shelled it, but their aim was not good, and the flag stayed. With all th"ir firing they did not hit one man of us, but they did kill several hogs and one woman.” SELLS WARDROBE TO GRANT One of Startling Incidents of the Siege of Petersburg Is Related by Southern Woman. That brave and sweet souled southern woman, the late Mrs. Roger A. Pryor, used to relate many anecdotes of the straits to which she was driven In war times to provide the necessaries of life for her family, says the Youth’s Companion. Prices, in the deprecated Confederate currency often reached amazing figures. In Petersburg she had to pay a neighbor a dollar a day for the meager dish of vegetables required for a wounded officer in her household; she paid S2O a pound for butter and bacon; sls for beef, and SSO for one chicken, or a pair of small shad, ordinarily worth 15 cents. Governor Mann of Virginia, who was also in Petersburg during the siege, has recently said that he once paid $240 for a breakfast. Articles other than food brought prices quite as extraordinary. Once during thd height of the bombardment he came upon a street corner auction at which the furniture from a partly ruined house was being offered for sale. Among, the pieces displayed was an old-fashioned wardrobe, blds for which had reached the sum of $999, The auctioneer, receiving no higher bid for the wardrobe, cried, “Nine hundred and ninety-nine—once! Nine hundred and ninety-nine—twice!"and was about to knock down the furniture for that sum when suddenly a Yankee shell crashed down on the old wardrobe and smashed it to smithereens. “Gone!” yelled the auotieneer. “Gone to General Grant for a thousand dollars!”

Advertising | n Talks n £c 3000000000000 U PROFESSIONAL ADVERTISING BY BERT M. MOSES. Everybody now recognizes advertising as something reputable except the lawyers, dentists and doctors. Even the preachers of Dallas, Tex., g:,ve up their pulpits on a recent Sunday to laymen, who talked on advertising. But the professions of law, dentistry and medicine still conceive it to be more honorable to seek and accept “free readers” than to pay for legitimate publicity like other good citizens. A young man devotes several of the best years of his life, together vfith many remittances from home, to acquiring knowledge and skill in the profession. When he secis to turn that knowledge and skill into a livelihood, ethics and precedent limit him to a little tin sign tacked up beside the door. He is like the south pole—he must ifait until somebqdy comes along and discovers him. The whole proceeding is more than ridiculous—it is almost brutal. If a ma® knows how to cure disease—=if he knows how to fill teeth —if he knows how to draw up a contract — the public is entitled to also know about it. And that man, being a resident of the land of the free and home of the brave, has the right to realize on his skill and knowledge by making his merits known. To remain silent and let those with established practice gather in the coin is silly and preposterous, and the marvel is that a perverted proposition like that should ever have secured a foothold. I think if I had the ability to do anything well —if I possessed the necessary skill to render a valuable service to the community—l would surely advertise that skill and ability in the ] newspapers and pay for the advertising. And in doing this I would have fully as much respect for myself as those misguided professional folks who do nearly every’ kind of advertising except the kind that costs money, and maybe I’d feel even superior to them. Advertising is as honorable as the professions themselves, and the time is about here to lift the ban and let the young men free w r hen they depart from college with the parchment under their arms. I’d rather be an honest advertiser than the blind follower of a code that dates back to the days that S're covered with dust. ADVERTISING THAT PAID John Arbuckle Declared He Spent Millions in Publicity, But It All Came Back. John Arbuckle, the millionaire coffee man of New York, advertised in the want columns of the Sunday newspapers for two business’ assistants of high caliber. The number of replies he received astonished him and he sent a photograph of a pile of them three feet high and several feet in circumference to*one of the New York newspapers with a letter, in which he said in part; “Advertisement is the life of a newspaper—so I take the liberty of sending you a photograph of the answers I have received from the advertisement I put in last Sunday’s newspapers. These answers come largely from men of large business caliber ($5,000 toslo,ooo a year salary men). I have spent millions of dollars advert sing, but it has all come back to me many times over. When you have a good honest thing advertise it freely and you will be amply repaid forthe money you have spent in advertising. “Many of the newspapers, referring to my advertisement, take it for granted that I am making arrangements *o retire from business. I have no idea of retiring, but hope to die in harness. A friend of J. Pierpont Morgan asked ' him how old his father was when he retired from business. Mr. Morgan said: ‘Over eighty years of age and he would be alive today if he had not given up his business.’ ” Big Advertising Waste. The business man’s waste paper basket has increased 100 per cent, in size during the last seven years. The fact leads to the inquiry, Why? The answer is to be found in the mass of ineffective and undigested circular and other advertising matter that daily pours into the office of every active business man only to find a resting place in the waste basket. Some of these advertisements are so poor that their typographical appearance condemn them; some are so badly written that they create no desire to purchase; others have merit and carry a message, but the message has been sent to the wrong person. Much of the waste basket could be eliminated by the employment of more Intelligence in the preparation and distribution of advertising matter. The advertiser who will not d j! listen to reasons and truths is b ;!• much like the man who saw a !> ]! camel for the first time and !> b walking around It said: "There b b ain’t no such animal what b ;! lives.” !► Why “Knocking” Is Bad Business. If you knock your competitor you are told you are making a psychological error. True. But what does it mean? Simply this: that the ncrmal mental tendency is fair-play. If your ad violates that standard In the buy?r’s mind, you will create a repulsion, thereby spoiling your chances for a iale. —A. T. Osborn.

KANSAS HAS GROCER-EDITORS Merchants Are Printing Small Journals to Advertise Their Goods Among Customers. * The Kansas grocer is breaking into journalism. In a number of the small towns of the state, small two, four or eight page newspapers are being published by the men whose regular business is to weigh out .sugar and measure up the supplies for the kitchen tables of their qpstomers. While he stacks the articles in the | market basket of the housewife, the [ editor-grocer finds out who the newly | arrived visitor in the community is, i who was married during the week. I and other items to fill up the local columns of his paper. At intervals j of one, two or four weeks, the store newspaper makes its appearance. The store paper is generally published in a town too small to support a regular weekly, and in such places meets a need of the storekeeper by advertising his place of business and ' at the same time with its news features fills a niche in the community that gives it a welcome place. In a town where no paper is published, effective advertising, which is just as essential to the success of the small storekeeper as to the owner ot the city department store, becomes a problem. Window displays and j hand bills left in buggies and autos j reach only a part of the field. Printer’s ink publicity of some kind 1 is essential if the merchant wants I to keep the people informed of what I is going on in his store. It must, be sent out at regular intervals. Prob- [ ably not more than one-half of his , customers take any one newspaper. I Those living on farms owe no allegiance to any particular town. The ; county seat paper may appeal to [ some. Others will take the paper i published in the town where they | know the most people, while still oth- | ers will take, nothing but the city daily. These Conditions make a place for the store paper. No subscription fee is charged. The local news in the paper makes a demand for it and in thia way the merchant keeps the j name of his store before the people of bis comrtunity and keeps them adj vised of bargains, changes and new goods. ADVERTISING GETSRETURNS No Other Legitimate Method Equal to Publicity, Intelligently Directed, for Selling Goods. Effort intelligently directed through publicity brings large*r returns than ■ any other legitimate method. This is ' often demonstrated in business of j many sorts and nowhere does it . show up with such continuous activity as in newspaper advertising. Rightly placed an advertisement is an invitation to a possible customer that has a vital weight., The advertisement of a reputable business, in the pages of a reputable newspaper, is illustrating .the word of honor of the man behind the publicity. A merchant tells through an advertisement what he wants the public to know. He. states a fact. That fact, if he is the reputable man he should be. can be depended upon, day after day and issue after issue of the paper in which his publicity is gained. It is the trade mark of his calling, the guarantee of honest merchandising and the advertisements of these reputable dealers are readable. And advertising brings in larger returns. It is impossible to find a method that will make more dollars, for the investment, as can be brought out in trade directed by intelligent advertising of honest merchandise or honest needs or wants. The money spent in this way reaches directly more people than could possibly be found by, any other square method. And there are countless illustrations where it has been shown that advertising pays. There is a recent case where a local man applied for the fulfillment of a desire through the classified columns of this paper. The .cost, entirely, was less than a dollar, for four insertions.. The first day’s paper brought him thirty-eight replies and during the running of the advertisement there were fifty responses. It would have been impossible to have gained what was thus gained, in any other manner, than by the expenditure of a great many times this much money. Favor Certified Ad. “We have certified milk and certified checks. The day of the certified ‘ad’ is at hand,” said Alfred W. McCann of New York in discussing “Publicity and Public Welfare,” at the sociological conference at Sagamore Beach recently. Mr. McCann scored dishonest advertisements and said: “Advertising to attain its noblest possibilities must begin with a conscience. Happily, advertising men are beginning to realize the abuses to which their profession has been subjected and are beginning the reform from the inside.” Other speakers were George French and Livy S. Richard of Boston and William C. Freeman of New York. “Advertising is steadily growing better in every sense,” said French. “That which most strikingly marks its growth is the fact that its power to reach and influence people for other purposes than trade is being recognized and applied.” <> Real advertising is only in- $ !• cidentally writing. It is sales- J <> manship that simply happens $ to be talking per the printed | 1> page—happens to be because «! it found a magnificent big op- * j! portunity to talk thus through | the eyes of 10,000 humans at | J» once instead of through the 5 ]! ears of the 10,000 in succes- | j! slon. ? Two Kinds That Don’t Pay. “There are two kindfr of advertising that do not pay—dishonest advertising and advertising that isn’t lived up to. By not living up to advertising I mean not backing it up with service to the customer —something that every advertisement implies and something that every reader of advertising has a right to expect.”—Jerome P. Fleishman, in the Baltimore Sun.
