Make You Think
By HOLLAND.
MILLION'S of dollars are
spent In this country
every year to promote think
ing. Von are Induced to
think on all sorts of subjects
at a vast expenditure of mon
ey. Some concerns want you
to think about clothes, others
want you to study the ques
tion of breakfast foods, while
others want you to investi
gate the care of the teeth and
think what sort of paste, pow-'
der or liquid wash Is best for
preserving them.
Advertising is the method
by which these men are in
ducing you to think. They
know that If you begin to
think you will insist on the
best, and each advertiser
knows that his goods possess -real
merit He knows It
would not pay him to adver
tise something that would not
stand the bard test of actual
use.
If yon will do the thinking
the aim of the advertiser has
been achieved, for you will in
time try his goods. That is
all he wants Just a trial. He
will then depend on the goods
to make a favorable impres
sion. Advertising merely in
terestsmakes you think.

Bad Day For Birds.
The day after Christinas. St Ste
phen's day (boxing day In England), is
celebrated in a queer way by some of
the Manx boys, and Ditcbfleld says
they feel privileged to stone wrens at
this time because of a story to the ef
fect that In days gone by a most dan
gerous siren was finally compelled to
assume the form of a wren once a
year (on the 2itbi and ultimately to be
killed by mortal bunds. Another tradi
tion furnishes an excuse on the ground
that It was a wren that wakened the
guard of St. Stephen Just as the latter
was about to escape from prison.

Took No Chances.
A certain roan is no beauty. He Is
not only long and angular, but has a
face and complexion that neither pale
blue, sky yellow nor any other color In
dress effect will attune to.
One day the aforesaid party called to
see an acquaintance, and while waiting
for him to appear In the parlor was en
tertained by the little eight-year-old

"Well, what do think of me?" asked
the caller, after conversing several
minutes.
Instead of replying the boy turned
aside and thoughtfully hung his bead.

ly persisted the caller. "Aren't you go
ing to tell me what you think of me?"
"No. sir." returned the youngster.

A Charmer.
Of all attractive girls there's on
I often see and many know.
8he lures In earnest mood or fun.
In silk or lawn or calico.
Her spell to some unique may seem.
Of lovers she has had a score.
And on each fond one she would beam
As though but blm she could adore.
Her life stern moralists might ban
If Idle rumor bad Its way.
But her admirers never can
Quite free themselves from her odd
sway.
I've seen her with a sailor "spoon"
And to a soldier's love respond.
In daylight or beneath the moon
Bhe's ever of some fellow fond.
She has been married many times
To king and peasant, prince and churl.
And still may long for wedding chimes
