Advertise!
There never was a time In the history or this town when ad-
vertising brought such splendid and Immediate results. Of course
we refer to advertising In newspapers and more particularly if
you please. In the Bulletin. Wo have no patnc wkh cntch-
penny adverUsing believe It is money worn than wasted. Btt
. nowspai)er advertising pays. Proof of this statement Is easily
obtained.
The Bulletin roaches a majority of homes of Brownwood and
Its circulation continues to grow steadily. "We hope some day not
very distant to be able to boast that the Bulletin reaches rcgu-
larly six times a week every newspaper-reading family in Brown-
wood. This is not a vain hope for onco we get the paper going
to a home it is an indisponsible article there thereafter. We are
slowly but surely gaining ground. The Bulletin wants the ad-
vertising of the Brownwood merchants in order that the paper
may be worth more to the subscribers that the merchants may
sell more goods and that our Income may be added to. We be-
lieve the Daily Bulletin Is worth something to Brownwood we
know It is worth sometklng to the merchant who uses Its col-
ums to advertise the fact that he has certain wares for sale. If

TIPS IN ENGLAND.
Lartl Russell's Fee to the Headsman
Who Executed Him.
Sir. George Russell discoursing on
tips in the Manchester Guardian after
the manner of his "Collections and
Recollections" treats the subject his-
torically under Its various names of
fees vales (or veils) honorarium (as
Disraeli preferred to call It) and
pouches.
Ancient usage has a peculiarly con
secratlng effect in the matter of tips
and fees. Horace Walpole records the
astonishment of George I. when told
that he must give guineas to the serv
- .j. ant of the ranger of his park for
bringing him a brace of carp out-of his
own pond.
Apparently everybody In .England Is
at some time or other justified In de
mandlng a fee unless It be the mon-
arch. When Tait became archbishop
of Canterbury and met the queen he
breathed a sigh of relief on at last en-
countering a person to Whom he had
not to pay something.
According to Bishop Burnet a hum
used to have to give a tip In order to
be decapitated. He tells the story pt
Lord Russell when under sentence of
J death for high treason asking what he
J. ought to give the executioner. "I told
him 10 guineas. He said wltu a smile.
It was a pretty thing to give a fee to
have his bead cut off."

A Freak of the Lightning.
A curious case of lightning destruc-
tion took place some years ago at Gat-
china an Imperial summer residence
not far from St. Petersburg where
stood a stone column fifty feet high
held together by Iron angles. When
rain fell more or less water penetrated
the stones In the Interior of the monu-
ment One day It was struck by light-
ning and instantly the column disap-
peared from view killing a lone sen-
try on guard. The only explanation Is
that the heat of the lightning Instant-
ly generated steam on coming in con-
tact with 'some of the water and the
terrific explosion followed.
The Change of a Comma.
"Whenever she asks me to do any-
thing." soliloquized Mr. Meeker pen-
sively. "I always go-and do It like. a
fool."
"Yes" said Mrs. Meeker who hap-
pened aloug In time to overhear him.
"Whenever I ask you to .do anything
you always go and'do It like a fool."

A PARISIAN RUSE.
The Dressmaker! Lure That Enanared
the Americana.
Grace Margaret Gould tells In the
September Woman's Home Companion caught on our premises
some of the ways the Parisian dres
making establishments sell their goods
to American women. Here Is one ruse
that she saw worked In one of the big-
gest establishments In Taris:
There was a sudden and evident
commotion among the employee"
"The princess! The princess! Sh
has arrived!" they cried.
American eyes began to bulge.
Out from a magnificent equipage
stepped a regally gowned grand lady
attended by footmen and maid and re-
ceived by the whole bowing estab-
lishment to the neglect of all other
customers. She was In a gmclnuR
mood this day and easy to be pleased
praising thMr past efforts and select-
ing several of their new creations with-
out regard to cost. After she had
made her departure' amid like cere-
monies ther was no need of the sales-
woman bothering ber head over sug-
gestions.' Every American woman
present wanted a gown copied from
the one the princess had bought and
she got It n'ter much pleading and at
n price far beyond the limit she had
sot
And the point of this fable Is this:
The princess was no princess but an
employee of the house.
Every French gown has two prices
an American price and a French price.
It is needless to say which Is tho
greater price.
Along ahout April the cry goes up.
The Americans are coming!" and then
the prices go up too.
Along about November when the
Americans have left yon might nlmosl
say they arp giving away gowns only
the Frenchman never does give awav
anything. Then it Is that the French
woman In ccneral and the French
urn-ess In nrtlcular selects her ward
robe.
"Real Sporty" Woodsmen.
The. chief recreation of the woods-
.men of the Puget sound country Is to
go to town on Saturday "nights. As a
valley dweller explained: "They've got
money and they Just blow It In. That

Tha Modern Animal a Cross Between
Two Ancient Bteeds.
In Wlssen fur Alle Professor Koenlg
discusses in some detail the origin of
the horse of today. He finds that the
horse of neolithic times was not spe-
cifically distinct from the horse of the
present. While there Is no doubt that
the horse of that period was used by
man for food there seems to be no con-
clusive evidence as to whether It was
domesticated or not. Ills own opinion
however Is that It was probably do-
mesticated. The horse of that time was closely
allied to the tarpan or scmlwlld horse
that lived In southern Russia up to a
century ago. This was a "hog maned"
short legged large headed beast. It
seems probable that the domesticated
horses of the Germans of Caesar's time
were derived from this breed.
The Egyptian had horses as early
as UHK) 15. t. These were long maned
more like the Arab horses and cnnie
from Assyria Where the Assyrians
obtained them Is unknown but It was
probably from southern Asia where
this long maned breed has been devel-
oped In all probability as the result of
long continued domestication. The
modern horse Is a cross between these
two breeds with a further mixture of
the Arab horse. This Arab horse too
was Itself a descendant of the earlier
long manetl horse.
The origin of the long maned horse Is
a matter of doubt but Professor Koe-
nlg thinks It may have been from an
extinct Indian species.
The Wooing of the Woodcock.
The wooing of the woodcock is one
of thoe sights to witness which n
lover of nature In all its moods will
make a journey of miles. The scene is
enacted at twilight and the setting is
of willow or alder bushes whose
brunches are just beginning to show
the tender green of early spring. Sud-
denly from the damp ground a bird
form shoots upward Jike some swamp
spirit until it Is outlined against the
gray of the evening sky Then It dn-les
above the lira itches and the song of
the wooing begins Hidden in the
darkness of the thick lower growth is
the object to which this love sonc I
directed. The bird above circles per-
haps a score .of times. then drops back
to the dump thicket making a sound
which can lie likened only to the drop-
ping of water into a woodland pool.
Again the bird soars and circles sing-
ing still the hive song. This is repeat-
ed time after time until the last gleam
of light has faded and night's dark-
ness comes down.
The Life Saving Service.
The first stations of a life saving
service In this country were establish-
ed by the Massachusetts Humane soci-
ety at Lovell Island and C'ohasset All
efforts for saving life and property In
cases of shipwreck were made by this
society till 1.S.TT when the president of
the. United States was authorized to
employ ships to cruise aloug the shores
and render assistance to distressed
navigators. In 1S48 congress pns?ed a
law creating a few life saving stations
lietweeu Sandy Hook and Little Egg
harlKir. New Jersey. From this has
grown the splendid system which now
takes In all the coasts of the country.

On one occasion when about two
days out from New York he approach-
ed a group of sailors who were wash-
ing the forward deck and. singling

was experiencing his first taste of

One night as a Canadian doctor who
lives in eastern Ontario was driving

awhile and said: "Sandy how do yoa
manage to train your dog? I can't
teach mine to do anything."
Sandy with that simple look in his
eyes said. "Well you see doc. you

Women Who Marry at Thirty-five.
A German doctor lays It down as a
well established fact based on close
observation that women who do not
marry until thirty-five or thereabout
Invariably achieve matrimonial suc-
cess. Why women of this particular
age should make more successful mar-
riages than those who fall victims to
lore's young dream Is fairly obvious.
When a young woman marries be-
tween thirty and forty she either .does
so for companionship choosing her
mate accordingly or from need in
which case she also chooses with a
certain amount of care. She has no
wild dreams of unalloyed bliss. Loa-
