mmmmrnm^mtrnMrnmrn ONLY ADVERTISING OF VALUE Mutt Be Absolute Truth Is the Unvarying Experience of American Men of Business. The only kind of advertising that has any real value Is that based on the truth, so that when the convention of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, in session at Indiana! oils, reaffirmed "truthful publicity" their slogan they but formulated the unvarying experience of the business world. Lincoln's famous remark to the effect, that "you can fool some ot the people all the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all the peoplo all the time," id peculiarly applicable to the publicity field; the attempt to fool the peoplo uy means of dishonest advertising is cu- ; mutative in Its retribution and the ad- | vertiser who tries It spells his own ultimato confusion. This Is by no means a mere assumption, for statistics prove that the public is quick to detect the fraudulent variety; faint earmarks of Insincerity and mendacity Boon become conspicuous warnings, and the truthful advertisements bring results out of all proportion to those which fail to keep faith with the buyer. Even without the laws here and there aimed at the dishonest practice of the fake advertiser, the business world is learning quickly that tfce su<> cess won by the trickster is a transit tory one, while the firm foundations are those that are built upon truth and sincerity.?Philadelphia Ledger. T FISH KNOCKS OUT FISHERMAN Qlves Man Black Eye and Breaks Its Own Nose?Will Be Kept as Trophy. It was a starlight night and "Joe'1 Rivers' good launch Yankee lazily slid through a succession ot oiled waves* Biff! and Skipper Jerry Shlvely at the wheel measured his full length of six feet five upon the deck. Bang! Something careened off the spokes of the wheel and lay fluttering in the scuppers. "Who did that," bellowed Jerry as he arose to his feet and glared down upon the cowering crew. "Something from overboard," timorously replied William Askerson, able seaman. "Seen it come aboard." A few turns of the wheel and the Yankee settled back to its course, while the crew began to search and Anally came upon the riutterlng thing in the scuppers. It was a flying fish, and not a large one at that. But it had sent a man who weighed over 250 pounds to the mat for the full count of ten and had given him the blackest of eyes in the bargain. The flying flsh and the black eye were brought into port here one day last week by Mr. Shlvely, who proposes to keep the flrst and is making every effort to rid himself of the latter. The flying flsh had its nose 4^. broken in the encounter and only lived * few minutes.?Los Angeles Times. Sheep Made Much Trouble. The exploits of the proverbial bull In the china shop have been emulated. If not surpassed, by the raid of a sheep on the Rugby (Eng.) branch of Lloyd's bank. The sheep dashed into the rear of the bank premises, with 1 two drovers in hot pursuit. Gaining entrance to the kitchens, it made a I terrific clatter among the pots and i pans, and then leaped through a win- < dow and turned on a water tap. The < drnvorfl worn r?o nal>?/wl <** ? ' ....

C ? d FACTS ABOUT WORKING DAY " 11 During the Last Twenty-five Years It Has Only Been Shortened an Hour. N We are far better ofT than we were S fifty or seventy years ago, the New York Republic observes. At the beginning of the century, the wage earner labored from sun to sun, and later. wnen expensive machinery and artifl- si cial light were introduced into the fac- rt tories, the working day was extended \\ far into the night. In 1840 American si cotton operatives worked 14 hours per ai day. and as late as 1852 13 hours, while tb today the average working dsv in the is mills is under ten hours. The hours of ci labor of farm laborers, except in har- hi vo3t times, seem to have diminished, tb and in a considerable number of occu- tb pations, notably in the building trades, an eight hour day has been introduced, tli In other occupations, affecting the tb health of the workers or in which bi women and children are largely em- th ployed, a shorter working day has been secured by legislation. But this th progress, though considerable, is not ai nearly so great as is generally supposed. The ten hour day still pre- to vails In most industries, while the 11 fo and 12 hour day is far from being ex- fli tinct. During the ten years from 1891 le to 1901, the average working day fell tr only a quarter of an hour. In the last sii 25 years, less than one hour has been nt taken from the hours of dally labor. be Peary Says He Knows. Lord Raylelgh is one of the most Interesting members of the British rp peerage.
