The editors were conveyed to the top of this mountain, and the awe- inspiring beauty of the scene ;bt.t revealed Itself to them was a pano rama of gorgeous beauty, never be fore witnessed by many eyes, and will be never forgotten.

Once upon u time the professional humorists used to have a great deal of lucrative fun out of the woman who would go Into a store in search of an article she wished to buy and insist upon seeing tbe ' merchant's entire itock before concluding the purchase. When lhat joke originated it bad a foundation In truth for that was be fore the day ot intelligent adver tising. ' Nowadays the woman looks the nerchant'a stock over In the daily newspaper before she goes shopping. She doesn't waste her own time, the talesman's or the merchant's in mak ing up her mind what she wants she foea forth provided with full Infor mation about styles, qualities and prices. The newspaper advertisement narrows her choice down to a mere lueetlon of patterns, and often even bat matter Is decided In advance. If women atlll drive salesmen ,'rantic with their indecision it is only n the stores of merchants who do not idvertlse. In that case the women are iDt to blame. The fault lies with the lealer who falls to realise bow the oewepaper ' announcement, besides aelplng him to sell larger quantities if bis wares, would help him to sell hem more quickly. It eaves both time and money to make shopping con venient and expeditious by spreading jut the stock for preliminary inspec tion in the advertising columns. Philadelphia Record.
