WHAT WE OBSERVE
true that all men have uot been given the faculty
miating wealth, though they economze aqd work
bard. Neither can all men be great physicians,
preachers or skilled mechanics, study, think and
haitl as they may. But there is a measue of suc-
it home and comfort for every man blessed
honesty, economy and steady purpose. If you
it you among the poor men, you will notice that
them are seldom out of work. When there is a
t done employers get Jhem if they can. Employ-
after tnem and straight to them, although passing
men on the way—idle men who are never employed

AS AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM
Brisbane, who is said to be the highest paid,
man in the world and whose genius is every-
recognised, understood the truth of this statement
id: “The local newspaper in proportion to its
is, in my opinion, infinitely the most valuable
medium that we have. The value of the coun -
iper is based largely upon the fact that the man
it looks upon it as a neighbor and friend, a per-
itance, and attaches to the printed statements

tershall, “of Miss Genevieve Pye and
the ornamental person taken from a
stage sketch who is her maid. Spelled
with capital letters, dearie, this way—
M-A-I-D. Genevieve used to give me
considerable heartache in those early
days when she would float into the
office to see father. It was not super-
abundant affection that made her un-
able to exist from breakfast till dinner
without gazing upon her parent. Or,
no! I knew, because Mr. Pye always
came out to the cashier's desk and
then a bunch of bills would be trans-
ferred to daughter.
“Pother’s outside offices were a
howling desert to her. She would sail
in with her beautiful eyes leveled just
over our heads—sail slowly so we
could take in the details of her cos-
tume. Ill bet the perfume she uses
oosts $1,000,000 an ounce. I went home
one day after she had been here and
threw my bottle of carnation pink,
that Jimmy gave me for Christmas,
clear across the room. And I made a
face at myself in the glass when I saw
my snub nose, and said, ‘Tah-h-h!’ as
I looked at my best foulard dress that
I was dressing up In, and then I cried
all over It
“I used to change off between gasp-
ing fh helpless admiration of her and
hating her so hard that I wanted to
be an anarchist and assist her along
by the bomb method. It didn’t seem
possible that any human girl had a
right to be so easy to look at and be
in a position to buy any old thing she
wanted on earth, from a pearl neck-
lace to the best brand of candy.
"Sometimes she wouldn’t bother to
come up at all, but would stay down-
stairs in the limousine and send Hor-
tense up to dun father. Hortense was
ents in the big city newspapers. As a
talking to another about a certain kind of goods
a friend more than a stranger, so a country
standing on a footing of friendship with its

impress upon them more^strongly than the big
is newspaper which is really a stranger.

Thi;- petty feeling among rivals in business is all
The best way to build up a town is to stand by
in the place, who does right. Whenever a man
well do not tear him down. All residents should
iw*rs, not opponents. In all livelyhoods the more
poor rival does the more you will do. Every bus-
wbo treats his customer honestly, courteously
fairiy will get his share, and the more business that
•ecured by united efforts, the better it will be for
a town ceases to grow it begins to die, and the
people try to kill each others business, the more
will utter ruin come to all. Stand together for
tp$0cement of every citizen. If a man shows ability
tr do not pull him back through jealousy or weigh
down with cold indifference.
