Words have at time3 escaped the lips of pessimistic indi viduals to the effect that when it cams to the round up, Rock Island would faM down on its great undertaking, and in nearby cities the boast has been openly made that R ock Island would never in the world round up a fund of $100.- 000 in subscriptions for new industrial enterprises. But the undertaking is going through to success just the same. The unwav ering spirit of the people assures thi;-. The determination of the people irre spective of their worldly opportunities to give, has not halted a second since the canvass began, and it is not going to fail in the end. The fund is as good as raised if the committees and the citizens generally maintain the patriotic determination during the remaining days of the can vass that has been so gratifyingly manifest in the time that has been oc cupicd with the work so far. Advci l ising. Newspaper advertising is the mosr ffective advertising. Among those who have discovered this is the United Slates government, and it has resolved that ttie billboard must go. The gov ininent seems to have discovered the superiority of newspaper advertising by experience. Some one connect'?'! with the.-navy department conceive:! the idea of posters printed in color snd stuck up about a city as the best nlvcrtising medium through which ",o ecure much needed recruits for the :ii y. Thousands of dollars were spent upon lithographs. Men were hired piaster every city in the country willi tlese flashy posters, and the navy de partment got ready to receive tho floods of recruits that would follov. Rut they didn't come. Then the gov ernment announced through advertise ments in the newspapers that it want ed men for the navy, and the response came, and the navy is being filled with men who read the newspapers and who profit thereby. Moral: If you want results, adver tise in the newspapers. That is thj only legitimate advertising. All the rest is mere flub-dubb and excuse.

Copyright. 1W7. by C. 1 1. Sutc'.iffe. William r.rice applied to a rich iron master for work on the ground that his father had been the ironmaster's friend. He was given a job. but it was reported to the chief that he was ca good. "Shift him," said the ironmaster. "Every man has bis nii'lie." So V.rice was shifted again and again, but after he had lu-en the cause of one or two accidents the men complained to the foreman and the foreman to the head of the department, and the second com plaint was carried to the ironmaster. "Still a dough head, eh':" he queried. "Well, we must try another niche. 1 knew- a man once- who entered into thirteen different occupations before he finally made a success as a horse trader. Shift hi in along." Rrice was shifted, and at the end of a week one of his fellow workmen tried to brain him with a crowbar because he let go when he should have held on. Then he was shifted again. He was on his fifth or sixth shift and had be come a butt of ridicule among oOO men when the great man said: "The man is finding it a difficult road to hit his own particular niche. It may be that it's clerical Instead of physical labor he should be put to. Try him in one of the departments as a timekeeper." The man was tried. He had a smile of pelf confidence on his face as he as sumed his duties, but luside of three days he hud the time business so mix ed up that the men did not know 7 o'clock in the uiorniug from 2 in the nfternoon. lie was then tried as uaesseuger, and he held that place for two weeks. It was the general opiu lon among the heads of departments that he held it two weeks too long, but subsequent events proved to the con trary. It took Rrice two weeks to make a score of blunders and to learn shut new and larger works were to be erect ed farther down the river. All the land except an acre belonging to an aged widow had been secured, and he heard it whispered that she had re fused to sell at any price. "Oh, well, don't let's be discouraged over him," said the Ironmaster when told that Rrice ought to be sent to an Idiot asylum. "He Is simply hunting for his niche. He Is the son of an old friend of mine, and we must lear with him until he finds it. I will never go back on my contention that every man has his niche. Outside of it he Is al most worthless; in that particular spot he may do great things. Shift the man along." There were three more shifts, and then William Brice found his niche. No one but himself had the least sus picion of it. When they saw him smil ing and grinning and heard his chuc kling they simply thought he was one week nearer the idiot asylum. On a certain Sunday William Rrice had gone down to see the aged widow. He was twenty-five years old and she almost seventy. He was sturdy and in the best of health; she was all knot ted, up with rheumatism and fnll of complaints. The youiiB man might have been a dough head in the shops, but outside of them he knew a rabbit track when he saw one. He fell in love with the widow. She was neces sary to his future happiness. She was old, but he didn't believe In flighty young girls. She was all twisted up, but marriage at the best was full of twists. He loved her gray hairs, her cracked voice and her wrinkled face, and in a tfionth they were married, and he assumed the head of the house. When he had been shifted for the twelfth time in the shops he had found his niche. No foreman or head of de partment disi;oyered. this fact.. M.v:us me ironmaster liiiiise.T. or. rather .'the lawyers who were slyly working to g.d bold of the widows bind. It ac tual value was about SL-oo. She had been offered .S'-J.'HM to tpiictly sell out. She had partly consented when she suddenly changed her mind. A scrawl ing letter readied the lawyers to the effect that "we" don't care to sell at the price, and the men of law hustled around to find that the widow was a widow no longer. At about the same time William Brice "resigned'' bis position amid hoots and jeers. Three days later he was being offered .SiM.ooo for his prop erty. He replied that he was a dough head and afraid of being ehute.l. and it was not until thy bid up to S.VUXn that he and his aged wife passed the deeds aud retired to the country to go into chicken raising on a wholesale scale. "Just as 1 told you." obse.rveiL.tbo ironmaster ns he banded over hi's check. "Every man has his niche in life, and when once found he can hold the fort. Our dough head was a little slow in finding his. but he got there at last, and I'm $s,immi out of pocket for up holding my opinion." M. JUA1. Notice to Contractors.
