Free Publicity
The value of a press agent is regulated by the
amount of free publicity he can wheedle or cajole
out of newspapers. The duty of a press agent, St
may be explained for the benefit of those who
are unacquainted with his work, is to write ar
ticles exploiting the merits of a commodity, which
are offered to the .newspaper for publication as
news matter. A press agent must be shrewd to
succeed, because it is a standing rule in a newspa
per office that the matter which a press agent
handles rightly should be paid for at advertising
rates. Hence, the press agent tries to cloak his
articles in such language and with such an appeal
that will pass the city editor's desk and be print
ed as news.
The work of the press agent has become in
tensly more difficult sincethe price of print pa
per has increased to such an extent that publish
ers have been forced to curtail the number of
pages printed. This situation caused a closer
scrutiny of the news articles and also of the
space devoted to them. As a consequence, com
plimentary articles, that formerly were used, are
thrown into the waste basket.
Some of the publicity men have read the hand
writing on the wall. The represenative of a big
company recently sent out the following state
ment. "Understanding the national shortage of print
.paper, the to co-operate with its news
paper friends in space, has made a marked re
duction in the length of publicity articles. De
tail has been eliminated, and every article re
duced to the briefest form that will still carry to
the public the points we desire to make."
In the meantime the shortage in paper con
tiues without abatement and the price is still go
ing upward. The five big Jewish dailies in New
Ydrk have raised the prices of their newspapers
from 1 cent to 2 cents per copy. The combined
circulation of these is in excess of 500,000. Sev
eral New York publications have also increased
their advertising rates. j

Unfinished Work j
The stately cathedrals of the old world were
not erected in one year or in a decade. A master
builder made the plans and started the work, and
when he died another master carried it on, until
after the lapse of decades and generations the
work stood complete. So also in life. We seldom
see the comsummation of our plans. We do our
work, but others complete the job. Our forefa
thers laid the foundation of our Republic, but is
was not given to them, or to the next generation,
or to the men of Lincoln's time to see the work
finished. Each day prescribes our own task, and
it is for us to consecrate ourselves to doing it
with honesty and intelligence. John the Baptist
was not the Messiah, his was the work of prepar
ing the way. We are builders, and as we do our
work day by day, we are fulfilling our mission.

Teaching by Example
Printed words and spoken words lack the po
tency of words carried out in practice. An ex
ample not only teaches, it also induces and incites
imitation. One man with a high moral sense, do
ing his full duty day in and day out, towering over
his associates because of his probity and charac
ter, is a more convincing sermon for right living
than a hundred tracts scattered through the city
or a dozen speeches by a preceptor.
Your Earning Power
We frequently have heard say that no man can
earn one million dollars. We disagree with the
statement. Lincoln earned ten million dollars.
He was never paid his salary. The Emancipator
was too busy working for others to think about
collecting it. Every great man who has contri
buted to the welfare of the race has earned mil
lions of dollars. None of them could ever show
a receipt for the money. We believe this holds
true, that the men who really earn millions dol
lars are too unselfish to collect their salary, while
those who collect millions in salary usually do not
earn it. So, paradoxical as it seems, men earn
millions and get only part of it, and men collect
millions and do not earn all of it.

EATON, O., Dec. 1. Thanksgiving
happiness in the home of Mr. and
Mrs. John Wilson, east of this city,
was turned suddenly into sadness
about noon Thursday, when their
daughter, Edith Marie, about 2 years
age, died from the effects of croup.
She was ill only a few days. The
body will be shipped to Irvin, Ky.,
where funeral services will be held
Saturday. The child's parents for
merly resided there.
CRAIG SERVICES HELD
EATON, O., Dec. 1. Funeral ser
vices for Mrs. Charles Craig, well
known Camden . woman, whose death
Monday was caused by cancer, were
held Thursday in the M. E. church
there, conducted by the Rev. W. M.
Patton. Burial at Camden. She is
survived by her husband, one son,
August, and one daughter, Miss Mary.
His strong face and powerful jaw
were set in a menacing scowL He
would be a bold man who would have
come between Lockwood and the lady
under the circumstances.
"You are confident of Mr. Whit
ney?" inquired Kennedy. -
"Ask Norton," replied; Lockwood
briefly. "He knew him long before I
did.":- -"wn :.
Norton smiled quietly. "Mr. Ken
nedy should know what my opinion
of Mr. Whitney Is, I think." replied
Norton confidently.
"I trust that you will succeed in
running these blackmailers down,"
pursued Lockwood, still standing. "If
I did not have more than I can attend
to already since the murder of Men
doza I'd like to take a hand myself.
It begins to look to me, after reading
that letter, as though there was noth
ing too low for them to attempt. I
shall keep this latest matter in mind.
If either Mr. Whitney or myself get
any hint, we'll turn it over to you."
Norton left shortly after Lockwood,
and Kennedy again picked up the let
ter and scanned. "I could learn some
thing, I suppose, if I analyzed this
printing," he continued, "but it is a
tedious process. Let me see that
envelope again. H-m, postmarked by
the uptown sub-station, mailed late
last night. Whoever sent it must
have done so not very far from us
here. Lockwood seemed to take it
as though it applied to himself very
readily, didn't he? Much more so
than de Moche. Only for the fact
that the fibres show it to be on paper
similar to the first warnings, I might
have been inclined to doubt whether
this was bona Ude. At least, the
sender must realize now that it has
produced no appreciable effect if any
was intended."
Kennedy's last remark set me think
ing. Could some one have sent the
letter not to produce the effect appar
ently intended, but with the ultimate
object of diverting suspicion from
himself? Lockwood, at least, had not
seemed to take the letter very seri
ously. X.
THE X-RAY READER
"I think I'll pay another visit to
Whitney, in spite of all that Norton
and Lockwood say about him," re
marked Kennedy, considering the
next step he would take in his inves
tigation. Accordingly, half an hour later we
entered his Wall Street office, where
we were met by a clerk, who seemed
to remember us.
"Mr. Whitney is out just at present"
he said, but if you will be seated I
think I can reach him by telephone."
As we sat in the outer office while
the clerk telephoned from Whitney's
own room the door opened and the
postman entered and laid some letters
on a table near us. Kennedy could
not help seeing the letter on top of
the pile, ami noticed that it bore a
stamp from Peru. He picked it up
and read the postmark, "Lima," and
the date some weeks previous. In
the lower corner, underscored, were
the words "Personal Urgent."
"I'd like to know what is in that,"
remarked Craig, turning it over and
over.
He appeared to be considering
something, for he rose suddenly, and
with a nod of his head to himself, as
though settling some qualm of con
science, shoved the letter into his
pocket '
A moment later the clerk returned.
"I've just had Mr. Whitney on the
wire," he reported. "I don't think
he'll be back at least for an hour."
"Is he at the Prince Edward Albert?
asked Craig.
"I don't know," returned the clerk,
oblivious to . the fact that we must
have seen that in order to know the
telephone number he must have
known whether Mr. Whitney was
there or elsewhere.
