Tins Itiglit and Wrong Way.
Of all forms of advertising there
is nothing equal to ami attractive
display ad in the local paper to pro
duce the desired results. Many a
business man has tried eVery oth
er plan of advertising only to re
cognize at last that a paper read by
the community is the best form of
tolling the public what one has to
offer. At one time* signs, big and
little, erected .in almost every con
ceivable place, were largely used,
but their principal effect was to dis
figure the landscape. The ad in the
local paper possesses every .advan
tage that other forms of advertis
ing have and many more that they
cannot possibly possess; It is not
read when people are whirling thru
space in an auto or speeding along
in a railway car, but at one's leis
ure in one's own home. It is* read
I by nearly, everybody and its form
jean be as frequently changed as
I one may desire. There is a right
i way and a wrong way to advertise,

-FIND SAFETY IN PRISON CELL
Many Instances on Record Whera
Criminal* Have Taken Refuge In
Jail* and Penitentlariee.
The recant escape of a patient from
the Poughkoep?le Insane asylum. fob i
lowed by hie bogging to be taken back
(ie.cuuH<i New. York waa "too nolny," la
no droller than many kindred Instances
that have CQB)e to the attention of in?
stltutlon authorities in the past. It la*
a well-known fact that inmates of the
state prisons often aak to bo allowed
to remain permanently where they
have served a number of yeara sen
tence. They declare that it ia actually
more like home to them than any oth
er place in the world where they hare
been. Ah the authorities have no pow
er to continue themae prisoners at the
expense of the state the released con
victa will often commit another crime
in order that they may be reaentenced
to a stay in their former prlaon home.
It sometime* happena that criminal*
wanted for an offense that bid* fair
to lead to their capture and a long
priaon term will deliberately break a
law that will lead only to a light sen
tence. They do thia at aome distant
point and elude the detective* search'
Ing everywhere but in prieon for them.
They have been known to enlist under
false names In the army or navy, much
as they deteat the strict discipline to
which they must conform. They argue
they are safer In the army for three
years than being shadowed constantly
by detefctlves.
Others who often feel they are Bafer
in custody are "squealers" who fear
the knife or bullet of the "gang" out
side. ThiB wae plainly shown in the
Kosenthal-Becker murder case, when
Rose and Weber and Schepps trembled
lest the accused gunmen's friends
should be able to reach them and carry
out revenge threats.
No Sense In Either.
Two men entered a train at a small
station out west and took seats facing
an elderly gentleman. They fell to
telling hunting stories with great ani
mation and many oaths.
Noticing that the old gentleman was
an interested listener, one of the men
spoke to him and asked whether he,
too, were not a hunter, with a atory or
two worth hearing. . - :
The old gentleman thought he could
tell one, and this is what he said:
"One day I thought I would go hunt
ing; so I took my tin-pan, tinder-box
gun and went up into a tin-pan tinder
box woods on the side of a tin-pan tin
der-box mountain, and I waited a tin
pan tinder-box long time; and then I
saw a tin-pan tinder box fine buck com
ing toward ine, so I put my old tin-pan
tinder-box gun to my Bhoulder and
fired. And that tin-pan tinder-box buck
fell right in its tin-paa tinder-box
tracks; and It was the finest tin-pan
tinder-box buck I ever killed." After a
pause, he said: "How do you like my
story?"
"Oh, tho story Is all right, but I don't
see what all that 'tin-pan tinder-box'
has to do with it."
"Well," replied tho old gentleman,
?"that Is just my way of swearing."
"1 don't see much sense in swearing
that way," said tho otl/er, with mani
fest disgust.
To which tho old gentleman respond
ed, "There is as much sense in my
way of swearing as there is in yours,
young man." ? Youth's Companion.
Calendar In One Sentence.
How often in the course of a^year
does a man who has no calendar near
at hand ask himself the question, On
what day of the week does such and
such a date fall?
A perusal of the following sentence
will soon convince him how he may
know all ho needs with very little
trouble:
"Said I, 1 dwelt for fifteen weeks in
London with a robber."
Each word represents a month in
order. Thus, "said" stands for Janu
ary and ?'robber" for December. The
number of letters in the word gives
tho date on which the first Saturday in
the month represented occurs.
.Take, for instance, June 11. 1913.
June being the sixth month is repre
sented by the word "fifteen," which
has seven letters, indicating June 7
as being the first Saturday. Then
seventh and seven days gives the 14th
as being the second Saturday of the
month. Having thus seen on which
day of the week the month begins the
rest is easy. ? Stray Stories.
Never-Settled Questions.
The familiar saying that nothing Is
settled until it is sottled right express- j
OS only a half-truth. Questions of gen- }
eral and permanent importance are
seldom finally settled. A very wise
man has said that "short of tho multl- i
plication table there is no truth-and no j
fact which must not be proved over ?
again as if it had nover be?en proved,
from time to time." Conceptions of so- :
cial rights and obligations and the in
stitutions based upon them continue
unquestioned for long periods as postu
lates in all discussions upon questions
of government. Whatever conduct con
forms to them is assumed to be right.
Whatever is at variance with them is
assumed to be wrong. Then a time
comee when with apparent suddenness
the ground of discussion shifts and the
postulates are denied. They cease to ;
accepted without proof, and the .
whole controversy In which they were
originally established is fought over
again. ? Senator Root, lu North Amor- '
