Took the Advtoe.
Tbe prealdent of one of the proml
nent railway corporatlons in Ameriea
waa making a atlrrlng address to an
andlence of young men and dwelt
with particular emphasla on the neces
alty of making a good appearance.
"When you are looklng for work,"
he said, "be careful that you are pre
aentable. If you bave only $24 ln
the world, apend $20 for a suit of
clothes, $3.50 for a pair of shoes, 50
cents for a halr cut and shave. Then
walk up to the Job wherever it is and
ask for it llke a man."
This advice was greeted with great
applause, and the railway president
aat down amld a storm of cheers. Tbe
very Dext morning a dapper looklng
young fellow walked Into the outcr
offlee of the orator and, handlng a noto
to the clerk, said, "Please give this to
the president" The noto read os fol?
lowa:
"I have paid $20 for this suit of
clothes, $3.50 for u pair of shoes and
50 cents for a halr cut and a shave. I
have walked from Harlem, and I
would llke a job as conductor on your
road."
He got the Job.
He Didn't Borrow.
A rcference book ou Russian hlstory
being needed right ou the spot, tbe llt
erary hack said he guessed he would
go around to Clarke's to borrow ris.
He went to Clarke's, but he came back
without the book.
"Didn't he bave it?" the mnn's wife
asked.
"He dld, but I hadn't the nerve to
ask for it. Clarke's plan of ndvertlslng
book borrowera scared me off. Beforfl
I had a chanee to niention Russian bis?
tory he steered me past shelves where
every few inehes a dummy stood eand
wlched in between real books. The
labels on all the books were consplcu
ous, black lettcring on white, and they
aet forth some mighty interestlng sta
tistlcs.
"' "Three Musketeers," borrowed
March 25 by John Smlth. Not re?
turned.' After I had read about a
dozen of those dummy labels I paid lt
was a fine day, wasn't lt. Clarko said
yes, lt was, and I came away. To ad
vertlse to subsequent vlsitors that I
had borrowed one of Clarke's best
books was a little too much notorlety
for me."?New York Sun.

The Famous

When you pay more than the Rayo
price for a lamp, you are paying for extra
decorations that cannot add to the quality
of the light. You can't pay for a better
light, because there is none. An oli light
has the least feffect on the human eye, and
the Rayo Lamp is the best oil lamp made,
though low in price. You can pay $5, $10,
or $20 for some other lamp, and although
you get a more costly lamp, you cafl't
