What e&pi-' utl i# to industry, what rainfaj! is to farm soil, advert'slng is to business. Advertising U as necessary to rratton al distribution as the railroads. Speak of goodwill in business and you really mean reputation. Repu tation in modern business is attained , only through the co-ordination of merit of product, scientific business methods and adequate advertising. , In IHH6 twenty-five gallons of a drink sirup called Coca-Cola was .sold for $2f>, From this sale the first Coca-Cola advertisement was paid for. The original company sold its good will for 120,000,000. Millions are spent with profit for advertising in the magazines and newspapers; of this country annually. Once it was the custom to advertise new products in a small way, increas ing the advertising and broad e .ft ng its scope as business results war ranted. Today, where capita! is available, there is no longer the cautious \cniuring into the water. Hig business now strikes for the deep watr:- first.

To a person who ha# 1 i v**<i .for half a century Christmas may be, in ?? ?en#e, Aa very painful thing. There, are always the memories of former Christmascs that come flooding over him, and he in hound to mis* the bod ily presence at least of many persons whom he has loved in years past. In deed it can Intone of the most melan choly seasons of. the year, and no doubt many persons who read this have, at certain periods of their lives, almost (headed the coming of Christ ina? on account of the recollections of pa*t happiness and joys it was Miic to bring thein . The antidote for this ve> y real sort of me 1 a'!.)c ho !> ' suppose jies in the determination to realize Christmas a<. a spiritual meeting time for all those who haye gone before even though they are not present in the flesh. In other words, -for the person who has lived for many years it mux; be either a spiritual occasion, shot through with all the colors of spirit ual joy, or it becomes jnorely a ma terial time of good living with many melancholy connotations. It is not by clinging to the thought that there is no death, that there can ,.be no dentb, that Christmas becomes tolerable to many of us, So it is terribly true that unless you do make Christmas a really Christian festival you do not have any Christmas at all. You have only a rather gross physical parody of the true spirit of the thing. The ostentations giying without the giver's heart in the gift, the stuffing of one's self witb too much rich food ? these things go to make up a de based burlesque of Christmas. To repeat, it is a Christian festival, or it is nothing; you can't have it any I other way; if you try to have it any other way, you simply don't have it. You have something else that is as foreign to Christmas as a pagan cel ebration.- From the I>e!ineator. A newspaper published in another county in the. Sketch it carried of a splendid citizen who had died a few days previously u-ed fhese words: "His community has lost a most be- j !o\ed and honored ci*. :zt n, in person; j but hi" influence lives on and will not. j be forgotten; but will be an ever liv ing spirit to beckon us on to better things." That's a- great deal better than leaving behind a big fortune, ac companied by tin- knowledge of one's fellow-citizens that the of money was tin- acquisition of a > ;votous and grabbing nature, intent on the one thing, money, -which did its owner lit tle good other than the gratification! of his own personal desires, and the Community still less. .Such, a man may command a < or tain outward form of respect while he is alive, and in fluential; but there are few tears, except in 1: is most 'Miniate circles, w'u n in- p a s > e ? on.

I know a man, ami hit* name wan Horner, Who used to Jive on Grumble Cor ner; Grumble Comer, in Cross-Patch Town. Ami he never was seen without a [ frown; He grumbled at this; he grumbled at that; He growled at the dog; he growled at the cat; He grumbled at morning; he grum bled at night; [ And to grumble and growl was his chief delight. Ih grumbled so much at his wife that she Regan to grumble as well as he; And all the ehuldren, wherever they , went, Reflected their parents' discontent. If the sky was dark and betokened rain, Then Mr. Horner was sure to com plain; ? And if there was never a cloud about He'd grumble because of a threaten ed drought. His meals Were never to suit his taste; He grumbled at having to oat in haste; The bread was poor, or the meat was tough, Or else he hadn't had half enoygh. No matter how hard his wife , might try To please her husband, with scorn ful eye He'd . look around, and then with a scowl . At something or other, begin to ' growl. One day, as I loitered .along the street, My old acquaintance I chanced to meet, W hose face was without the look of care And the ugly frown that it Used to wear. 'I may be mistaken, perhaps," I said, As, after saluting, I turned my head; MBut it is, and it isn't, the Mr. Hor ner Who lived so long on Grumble Cor ner;" I met him next day; and I met him ( again In melting weather in pouring rain. When stocks were up, and when stocks were downL ^ _ Hut ;? smile somehow naa replaced the frown. It puzzled me much; and so, one day, ' J I seized his hand in a friendly way, And said: "Mr. Horner, I'd like to know What can have happened to change you so?" ?J i He laughed a laugh that was good to hear; , For it told of conscience calm and clear. And he said, with none of the old time drawl: "Why, I've changed my residence, that is all." "Changed your residence?" "Yes," said Horner, '"It wasn't healthy on Grumble Cor ner, ? 1 And so I moved; 'twas a change complete; And you'll find me now on Thanks giving street." Now every day as I move along The streets so filled with the busy throng, I watch each face, and can always tell Wheie men and women and children dwell; And many a discontented mourner Is spending: , his days on Grumble Corner. Sour and sad, whom 1 long to en treat To take a house on Thanksgiving street. ? The Golden Age. From Pillar to Post Any person who is always knocking about from one thing to another and doing nothing in particular }* said to be going from pillar to post. It usually means that there is nothing done that is worth while. There is no result that can be counted on ac roni.' k to the -tandard of human kind. Tht opposite of this is to have some business or daily wr*k to which the l;twe and uttcnticui is devoted in such a manner as to make a living that is honest and sufficient. One of the f rst things to do in changing the habit i f pii'ar t<> post is to get out of debt and stay out. Debt is a triv.it cause of the pillar to post habit i!. Minn' people. What time they are r ? dodging their, work they are *ry.n>> ! 1 1 dodge their creditors. Of course they get nothing done. 1 1 ? ? r r y Herald. Tr.i ntage of protein 11.

"Turn, boys, turn, we're goiug ?back," were not the legendary words of General Phil Sheridan, when he completed the famous rido which has been celebrated in song and story. In an interview recently given, the General's widow said that the exact text of the command could best be expressed by dashes and asterisks.
