The Jeopard
An applicant for a place as teacher
In one of the colored schools at Louis
villa was being examined touching hla
fitness for the position. Ho was a
email, dapper, yellow person, wearing
gold spectacles, a long black coat and
an abiding air of great dignity.
Tho examination was In part oral
and syntax had been reached.
"Whit Is your defilntlon of the word
Jeopardized?'" nsked the examiner.
The candidate's brow wrinkled.
"Which?" ho Intivlred.
"What do you understand the word
Jeopardized' to mean?"
For just one short half-mlnuto ho
hesitated. Then ho answered snor
ously: "In reply to yo' question I would
state that that would refer to any act
committed by a jeopard."
This would bo a graud old world it
people could purchase experience on
trial, with the privilege of returning it
If not satisfactory.

HOW ADVERTISING WORKS
Among the great inventions of tho
nineteenth century was tho power
press with its enormous capacity. Pub
lic schools had become general, illiter
acy was on tho wane and conditions
were ripe for tho dissemination of in
formation. It was then that tho power
of tho press was added to the efforts
of tho salesman, and tho manufacturer
began to tell his story to the millions
in less time than the "drummer" could
talk to a dozen. Modern advertising,
therefore, Is tho direct result of In
creased production; It was concurrent
with tho development of the arts and
crafts and an essential part of progress
and development.
Nobody denies that there Is an oc
casional abuse of advertising. Pub
licity is a power, nnd it may be wielded
for good or evil. Quack medicines
have been exploited, but no more so
than fake reformers. In legitimate
fields, however, the secret of low price
is rapid production, and to maintain
a low prico there must be a market
for the product. Not a spasmodic mar
ket, but a steady demand that will
keep pace with production. There is
but cno way to retain such a market,
once It is obtained, and that is to
make a product that will bo so good
that those who buy It once will buy
it again and again.
Tho greatest expenso in business to
day is the matter of distribution. It is
easy enough to produce, but -marketing
is a vastly different matter. The
man who makes something in Bridge
port finds that ho cannot sell all he
can produce in that town, so ho has to
seek a market outsiac of his immediate
environment. Through tho means of
publicity he can tell all tho people
about his goods, from Boston to -S-n
Francisco, and ho can do it overnight.
Advertising facilitates distribution and
anything that makes tho marketing of
goods easier and quicker is not an
economic waste but an economic neces
sity. Whether it bo sugar or shoes, tho
successful advertlb'er makes what ho
considers a flrst-class article, gives it
a trade name and in tho columns of tho
daily, weekly or monthly, or all three,
ho strives to givo a logical reason why
his particular product is entitled to
public patronage and confidence. Ho
tells tho truth according to his belief,
because commercial candor is recog
nized as a fixed law that underlies tho
enduring success of evtfry modern busi
ness that is founded upon advertising,
and every good business man knows
that to evade tho trutli means eventual
failure. Leslie's.

What Makes a Girl Populai
Every girl has the perfectly natural
desire to be popular with the other
sex, and overy girl is interested In
knowing the secret of stitch popularity.
Some tills havo the luca that the way
to have a good time ia to break away
from the recognised rules of social
life. The free-and-easy, reckless type
of girl may receive a good deal of at
tention of a certain kind, but it is safe
to say that men do not really earn for
such a girl. Cortalnly they do not
have any respect for her. They may
enjoy a summer flirtation with her, but
such a girl nevor enters seriously into
their thoughts. The girl who is kind
and thoughtful to her parents is the
girl whom they admire. The girl who
13 disrespectful to her parents will not
long retain the respect of others. Men
know very weir that a girl who do
ceives her mother cannot be trusted
A good daughter has in her the mak
ing of a good wife, and a man remem
bers this when he, begins to think ser
iously of matrimony. Frances Frear,
in Leslie's.

All That Prevented Him ,
"What's tho matter with the train?"
asked the lecturer, vexed with tho
speed they were making.
"It you don't like this train," the
guard retorted, "you can get out and
walk."
"By Jove!" said the lecturer, "I'd do
it; but a reception committee is to
meet mo at my destination, and I
don't want to get in ahead of time."
A woman says that the longer a man
studies the curves of a decanter the
closer he is apt to imitate them on
his homeward journey in tlio early
morn.

THE JESTERS
In ancient limp a tho pitted Joker
was cti&iarti) It) tiie Ktna vim mut
tered, "II tin Ifi? iolor HUB gent
of quip and lling mu.it nitty nrin I my
throne and choer m-, who 1 ui sad
and sore, when there nro Fellow fan
tods near mo, and llfo ltsolf's a bore."
And so n humorist stood chaffing
around each royal throne and kept his
nobs, tho monarch, laughing, until ho
broke a bono. Then funny men wero
scarce as thunder, and so became a
(lower; for in thoso days it is no
bonder most men wero grim nnd
'our. Their talk was nil of siege and
battle, of scaffold and of block; and
blest tho fellow who could rattle a
sprightly lino of talk!
And life today is pretty dreary, for
men are commerco mad; 'they chaso
along, all frayed nnd weary, to gain
iho Biiluing scad. So nervousness with
them is chronic, resulting from the
stress; and when they feel they need
a tonic, they seek it in the press.
They have no time to read a volumo
on "How to Savo Your Goat," but in
tho Bugle's funny colyum thoy find an
antidote for many of the woes that
scar them and make them gray and
old, for many of tho cares that jar
them 'and turn their trilbys cold.
When llerco revorso or thrcat'nlng
rumor brings to the heart a pain, how
blessed is this balm of humor, that
keeps us calm and Ban?!
Tho joker of the press Is only a fall
guy, liko ourselves; and oftentimes
uls heart Is lonely, and bare his cup
board shelves. You'd think, to read
his merry twitter, his llfo was ono
glad senj, mat nothing in that life
was bitter, tunc nothing e'er went
wrong. But tiuy-scvcn kinds of
troubles he knows and deeply feels;
he does not sit 'rouuu blowing bubbleB
or kicking up his heels. Too often,
attor writing jingies, he has to pawn
tlio spoons, while in his creaking
stomach mingles Ills tare of slaw ana
pruncs.
Tho Joker is a man of sorrow, of
great ami ui vers vols,; he never knows
but that tomorrow Vue sheriff will fore
close. And often, iilied with milk and
sau, he turns h3 bright quips out,
wuue in his back he has lumbago and
in his feet tlio gout.
But, still, oh, 'jravo and patient mor
tal! he hits tho lettered keys and turns
out tilings that make U3 chortle and
yell and gasp and sneeze. He 'lianas
to ub the go den chalice of gladnesa
and content e'en while ha leaves hla
ana content, e en wmio no leaves ins
rent. By Walt Mason from Judge.
The Worst Kind of Mortgaga
Is it not a disheartening tiling to go
through life under tho harrow of debt,
struggling to get release under cir
cumstances that give no hope of re
lief? Is it not unfortunate to feel that
wo can never lltt the mortgage from
the home, that in spite of all our ef
forts it must Anally be sold over the
heads of those dearer to us than lite
itself? But all this Is nothing com
pared with the mortgage of vice upon
tho character which blights the lite.
Many a man has died without being
able to lift tho mortgage from his
home, yet has been rem success, for
he kept his manhood clean, his integ
rity unstained, anu, although he left
no material wealth, he has enriched
tho lives of all who knew him.
Tho nicotine mortgage upon your
vitality, the alcohol mortgage wnlch
hardens your nerve llbre, benumbs the
brain cells, paralyzes the power to
achieve, and makes you a. slave insteau
of a king, are encumbrances compared
with which the mere mortgage upon
your home is a blessing.
If you are mortgaged to the cigar
ette harbit which demoralizes your am
bition, poisons your blood, benumbs
your nerves and vitiates your" aim; if
you havo a whisky mortgage, an im
morality mortgage on your character
which you have been trying for years
to lift, this is infinitely worse than
your chattel mortgage or real estate
mortgage. The mortgage on your
homo may not touch your real belt,
in splto of it you may be a man, re
spected, looked up to, admired. If
your life has been clean, you may have
mado every acre of land in your vicin
ity worth more, ls.it if your character
is mortgaged to a demoralizing habit;
if you are the victim of a degrading
vice that holds you uown, cripples your
advance, this is a thousand times
worse. It loses you not only your re
spect, but also the respect of thoso
who know you.
How to Fill the Churches
A method of sermon collaboration
which may exercise great influence
upon tho vexed problem of church at
tendance was recently tried at Los
Angele3. Nine ministers of that city
got togother and produced one sermon
and on tho next bunday nine congre
gations .listened to the same sermon,
one of tho best they had over heard.
Such a plan makes good use of di
versified gifts. One preacher may bo
skillful in the use of illustrations, an
other particularly happy in literary
and historical allusions, ,a third a mas
ter In theology, another gifted with
evangelistic fervor, and so on through
all the elements that may enter into a
sermon. From Leslie's.
Death must bo a welcomo relief to
the man who Is compelled to hustle
eighteen hours dally in order to keep
his life insuranco premiums paid up.
Some men wait for things to turn up,
ant soma others turn them up while
they wait.
Inconsistent
"Then you don't think I practlco
what I preach, eh?" querlod tho min
ister, in talking with one of tho dea
cons at a meeting.
"No, sir; I-don't," repllod tho deacon.
"You've been prenchin' on the sub
ject of resignation for two years, an'
I yo' haven't resigned yet."

The Papal Flag.
Tho Papal flag Is comparatively un
familiar outside of tho Eternal City.
Tho war flag of the defunct temporal
power of tho Pope was whlto, and in
its center stood figures of St. Peter
and St. Paul, with tho cross-keys and
tiara above them. Tho flag of tho
merchant ships owned by tho subjects
of the States of the Church is a curi
ous combination, half yellow and half
whto, with the design of tho cross
keys and tho white. In the bannor
used by the Crusader King of Jerusa
lem, Godfrey, tho only tinctures Intro
duced were tho two metals, gold and
silver, flvo golden crosses bolng
plficcd upon a silver field. This was
done with the intention of making tho
devle unique, as in all othor cases it
la doomed false heraldry to place
