Question Put by Inquisitive Boarder,
Though, Seemed Rather to Imply a
Doubt as to tha Veracity of
the Story Ha Told.
T Just got back from a big-game
' host yesterday," said the young spdrta
man. "There were six of us In the
party and we bad a lot of fun."
j "Did you bring back any trophies T"
j asked a fellow boarder.
I "Well, no, but we had plenty of
Sport Two of aa who had never killed
mountain lion and bear learned exact
ly how to do it from the four sports
men on the train going up. 'The way
I do,' said one of the old hands, is to
shoot the beaiv,under the fourth rib,
j and I 'always like to get my mountain
lion with a bullet just over the left
eye.'
" 1 don't,' said another blg-g%gle ex
pert. 'I shoot them in the neck.'
"1 like hand-to-hand encounters,'
said a third expert. 'Jglspeclally when
| It comes to bear. Let Mr. Bear start
hogging me and he gets my hunting
knife right In the heart!"
"The first n(gbt after we got' to
camping one of the old hunters came
In and told liow be had killed a bear
with his hunting knife after a desper
ate struggle, but the bear had fallen
Into a chasm where the hunter couldn't
get him.
"Another came In and said he had
killed the biggest mountain lion he
ever saw, but the lion had jumped
ovor a cliff. >
"A third expert came In and said
that hie had seen a bear carrying off
the other two members of the party
by the trousers. He said It was lucky
for me that I had stayed In camp that
■ day.
"While we were talking a big storm
broke. There was a flash of Ughnlng
and a clap of thunder. It scared the
hero whose bear had fallen Into a
chasm and he laid:
" 'Boys, I told a 11®. I haven't killed
a bear or even seen one!'
"Then there came a terrible clap of
thunder and the hunter who had
brought such sad tidings of our absent
friends said:
"'I told a lie, too. No bear carried
oft the other boys. They safcl it looked
like rain and BO they went into town.'
"The next clap of thunder did away
with the other fellow's lion. When the
next flash of lightning came there
stood a bear about ten feet high, right
in the doer of our tent!
"One' of the hunters who had
achieved such triumphs at various
times Jumped up and dived Into the
milk can and closed the top down
tight after him. The others bolted un
der the edge of the tent and escaped.
"What did you dot"
"Oh, I killed the bear," said the
sportsman. "As soon as I saw how
badly scared the other fellows were I
drew my hunting knife and killed the
bear. It was funny, though, how
jfrightened those othel* fellows were!"
tAren't yott afraid or thunder and
lightning 7" asked the Inquisitive
boarder.
Combating the Chlgger.
The chlgger Is a red, slx-legqed mite
so small that it can scarcely be seen
with the naked eye. In certain locali
ties all over the corn belt it Is abun
dant from the middle of June until late
In August. It seems to be especially
common in wood land fend on berry
bushes. It Is naturally vegetarian, and
jrhen it causes pain to chickens and
children, it Is not becaus* it Is search
ing for blood. In fact, entomologists
tell us that the chlgfers which burrow
Into the skin, causing red welts, be
cause of the poison which they ex
creto, by so doing destroy themselves.
No very effective method of combat
ing the pest has yet been devised.

Aa MUST ATTRACT ATTENTION
Care Should Be Exercised In Prepar
ing Copy If Qood Result*
Are Dsslrsd.
- Writing an ad is regarded by many
business men aa a dread task, and as
such tbe task is deferred to the last
moment, is given little serious thought
and Is finally disposed of as quickly
as possible. 'However, this Is not ad
writing—it Is only space filling, and is
praoticed only by the smaller adver
tlsdrs using space that doesn't cost
enough to be thoroughly appreciated.
Advertisers using space in some of
the Sunday papers at S7OO
per page are more particular about
the preparation of ad copy.
Sometimes advertisers make a noise
like a whole brass band in their ad
vertising, while at the store the big
event corresponds more to the noise
of a tin whistle. That kind of adver
tising does more harm, than none at
all. The big noise In the advertising
Is all right if carried out In the store.
On the other hand, some expect to
pull oft a big sale on the strength of
a 2 by 4 ad. Such gales usually fall flat
and too often the disappointed mer
chant is ready to say advertising does
not pay. If a special sale Isn't worth
advertising properly It isn't worth at
tempting and that Is the Impression
the public will gain through a lax and
uqinteresting 'stereotyped way of mere- j
ly announcing, "A Big Sale Now on
at Smith & Co.'s. Wonderful Reduc
tions. Everything a Bargain. Come
Early and Avoid the Rush," etc., etc.
The same old thing that others have
been copying for JO years.
There are so many ads that possesn
no originality, nothing of Interest, no
educational value.. Because the ad-1
vertlser knows all about his goods is |
no reason to think the people do.'
Something Instructive' is both interest- >
lng and appreciated, and here Is where '
absolute truthfulness wins.
Sensationalism In advertising Is a
thing of the past. Bizarre and freak
ish headlines have gone the routq.of
all other foolish things. They are ob
solete, strictly out of date, in modern
advertising.
Fine writing In advertising is not
nearly so effective as cold facts in
plain and simple language.
The public Is more Interested In tbe
proposition that is offered than in the
firm that Is offering it, hence the
headline announcing the proposition
takes procedure over tbe name ot
the firm and should occupy the first
and most prominent position in an ad.
If the reader is interested in the thing
proclaimed by a good headline that
catches his eye, he will look for tbe
name of the Arm. if his eye is caught
by the name ot tbe firm at the top of
an ad boldly displayed, he is not to
likely to look then to see what Smith
ft Co. have to say, unless (ie baa an
. unusual amount of curiosity or Is par
ticularly Interested in the doings and
sayings of Smith ft Co.
An ad without a head in either words
or_plcture is lHo a side sliow without
a barker—there is nothing to draw the
Crowds, to arrest the attention and
tell the people what Is on the Insldo.
The first mission of advertising is
to be seen. Some ads stand out and
demand attention, but many are so
common, so like all others, that they
fall absolutely to attract any atten
tion.
A few well chosen words descrip
tive of something Is worth a whole
catalogue of generalities.
There would be no objection to
crowding an ad if the average reader
could be Induced to digest it, but as a
rule he will not even taste it to dis
cover Its flavor.

| WHAT TO PUT IN
YOUR ADVERTISING
f. '
Tell Points of Special Advantage
About Articles You Have
1o Sell.
There Is nothing so very myitarious
| about advertising. It Is nothing more
, or less than *ound builnesa In the
, sales sense written concisely and
clearly. Advertlilng 1* written *ales
manshlp, and *ale*man*hlp should be
' tbe baal* of every advertliement. The
retailer with little advertising experi
ence often Is at a loa* as to what to ]
put In his advertisement Not only
thought but how to put It so that It
will produce the greataet affect upon
, his customer* and pruapectlve custo
mer*.
Newapaper advertising to the retail
er In the smaller citle* and town* can
aaaume an almoat personal aspect. He
1* generally personally known to a
large portion or people within his
home town. His advertising should be
a reflection of bla personal dealinga
with the*e people.
Naturalness is the thing to strive
for in advertising writing. Exaggera
tion of quality In the goods advertised
1 ia often nothing more or lesa than a
peculiar form of self-deception. To
the customer who haa almoat dally
'dealing* with you, tbe exaggerated
form of advertlilng make* but little
1 appeal. Truthful advertlilng of your
■tore and of the products you handle
can be made a lolld baala for your
future bualne** growth. Newspaper
advertising carries with It a distinct
advantage.
Every advertiser who uaes a daily or
weekly paper asks ths public to buy
of him. The public Is Involuntarily
perauaded to buy at the store whose
advertising Is the best and who can
back up that advertising with a (took
of good* of the right quality. The
thought thht la put Into an advertlie
ment li of aa much Importance ai the
Inducement to buy. In the writing of
advertlilng the retailer muat forget hla
competitor for the time being. Don't
even hint of hi* existence or say that
your good* are the beat unless you
are satisfied that they really are.
Hundred* of dealer* dally use the
statement that their gooda are of vast
ly superior quality. .
Other competitors handling articles
of similar quality alip tn under the
advertising with a alight price redac
tion. Special quality haa come to be
known a* the synonym for higher
pricee, although It 1* not necetaarily.
When you make any itatament about
any article be sure thajt you can prove
it on the goods themselves. ,
Do not make your advertising a ve
hicle for carrying your seme of humor.
Grotesque cut* snd tbe use of eight
or nine different kind* of type destroy
the good effects of tbe advertisement'
Do not buy valuable newspaper space
to follow It up with a few obvious
phraaea which are not deacriptlve of
the articles you wish to *cll. No mat
ter how Inexpenslvs tbe tpsce In your
newspaper, It thould be msde to say
something aad to say It wsll.
Here Is a simple formula for writ
ing a good adverilaement for the man
who lacks technical knowledge of It
Study the artlclee you have to sell
thoroughly. Pick out their polnta of
apeclal advantage. If the price ia a
■pedal Inducement, play It up (trong.
Do not try to say too much. Pick out
a few strong points snd play them up
logically. Every sentence should add
something to the advertisement. The
laat one should lead up to a, climax.
Select the strongest feature of the ad
vertisement for a head line. Make
that head line short and a complete
statement

thla iron-clad regulation was in the

Pineapple peel and
dice enough pineapple to make about

and serr& hot with ice cream. If the
pineapple alrup Is used, omit the
augar.
Preserved Pineapple Uncooked —
If one haa a good cold cellar or store
room the fresh pineapple may b«
grated and preserved uncooked. Allow
a pound of augar to each pound of
grated fruit and let atand In the re
frigerator for twelve hours. Then' pack

them and to each cupful of grated
pulp meaaure out a cupful of sugar.
Add half the sugar to the fruit and let

ly, In a granite or porcelain saucepan

aa the pineapple Juice sometimes in
jures the surface of thla metal Let

Before Mayonnalae.
In the days before the art of may
onnalae dreasing was known to every
good cook the English bad a very fair
substitute for It which they used with
their salads. It was called "an artful
mixture," and doubtleas as much In
' genulty waa uaed in Its mixing aa toe
modern cook uses In making mayon
-1 nalse. It consisted of mustard, oil
and vinegar, "artfully" mixed to a
amootli dreasing. At her discretion tho
cook might add the fiatd-mited yolka
of new-laid egga, if before adding them
ahe carefully rubbed them to a pow
der. Tho roclpe, though somewhat
rague, suggests a dressing with
clalma of attention to the lover of
good aalads.
Hard Sauce.
1 A good hard sauce, for any pudding
la made with half a cupful of butter,
beaten to a cream and thickened with
, a cupful of powdered sugar. Whip
an egg white, )lgbt and stiff, season
It with a grain or Iwo of salt, and a
good deal of nutmeg and fold it llght
. ly Into the butter and augar.
j - Remedy for Lumpy Salt.
I There la nothing better than rice
for keeping aalt from packing In the
shakers and refusing to come out. Heat
a teaspoonful of the riu > and put It j
Into the shaker. It will absorb the
moisture, and the aalt will come out
dry aa the sands of the desert, and tha
rioe will keep It moving when shaken.
