Millions For Military Automobiles
Included among the Germcn army es
timates for the present year is one for
several millions for extensive trials and
experiments with automobiles for" rnili
tary purposes. Iti this, however, the
German government differs from tbe per
son who suffers from stomach, liver or
kidney complaints. He cannot afford to
waste any money experimenting with
this or that remedy. tor this reason
most every sufferer takes Ilostetter's
Stomach BitterB at tbe very start, for he
knows that if any medicine will oure him
quickly tbe Bitters will. If you are
among tbe few persons who have never
tried it, do so today. You'll be thankful
for tbe advice. It will cure belching,
flatulency, indigestion, dyspepsia, oonsti
palion, general debility, Bering fever end

Kansas City Journal. Glenn is the old

He completed the course of study of
the Gainesville public schools in March,
1902. The same month he took the ex
amination given candidates for third
grade teachers' certificates in Ozark
county, making a good average and se
curing a certificate. He continued to
study, and just after he became 13 years
old he took the examination for a sec
ond grade certificate. This time his av
erage grade was the highest made, being
9(3 per cent. Mr. Harrison believed his
promising son was too young to teach,
and refused to let him accept several
offers. But one day when his father was
absent attending court, Glenn took the
job of teacher of a rural district, the di
rectors of which came and offered him
the place. He began work before his
father returned, and the latter, finding
him so ambitious, decided notAo inter

When Queen Victoria came to the
throne in 1837 the Salic law, which pre
vails in German principalities, made it
impossible that she should be sovereign
of Hanover as well as ruler of England,
as her Guelph predecessors had been.
The throne of Hanovtr, therefore, fell
to her next of kin in the male line, the
duke of Cumberland, who was succeeded
by his son, the queen's cousin. That
king of Hanover was the last. In the
war between Prussia and Austria in
1860, which was prn.ioally a war for
precedence in the OVman speaiJng
lands, the king of Hanover took the
wrong side; that la to say, he took the
side of Austria, and Prnnsia was victo
rious. The result was thnt he found
himself crownles and an exile and Han
over became part of the north German
confederation. The exiled king died in
187S. but his quen still lives; she is 85
years of age. A portrait of her was taken
rencently on her Austrian estate at
Gmunden. It is interesting to observe
the striking likeness of the lower part
of the face of th eleetres to Queen Vic

for the sacrifices you have made of
your little purses for the sake of my
comfort. If you have found me severe
at times. I trust you realize that it has
always been for your own good." As
the old schoolmaster prepared to sit
down in his new chair he unconscious

Convicts serving terms in the various
prisons of the country have one privilege
people outside the walls do not enjoy.
The commissioner of internal revenue
lias decided that it Is permissible for
Plate prisons to manufacture tobacco or
igars for its own inmates without pay

"I would say that upon careful consid
eration of the one?! ion involved, it is
held that a charitable or other institu
tion conducted by the state and under
state authority, with its own operatives,
has the right to manufacture tobacco,
cigars, or any other tobacco product
vithout the payment of tax when all
such manufactured tobacco is used ex
clusively within the state institution.
"The tobacco must, nowever, be manu
factured within the limits of the state
Institution, and no portion of It be re
moved therefrom. If any portion of
such manufactured tobacco is found out

will be liable to seizure and forfeiture,

All coinage dies are made at the Phil

"The dies are round pieces of steel,
three inches long, and sloping to the top
on which is cut the face of the coin it

shop of the mint, where, in the pres

after having given currency value to

A red poster advertising kitchenware
which is seen about the country a good
deal is the work of a woman who came
here two or three years ago practically
an immigrant. She was the daughter of
an English officer, and his death in the
Jioer war left her almost w ithout means.
iier career in America throws a sidelight
on the possibilities for a bright and am
bitious young woman in New York,
says the Sun.
She came here an entire stranger,
went to the Young Women's Christian
association and there secured employ
ment as secretary of an old ladies' home.
.From iht ;e si.e went to be governess for
a li-tle . ..i, tnd after that went into a
publishing house, in which she had
ciianre of sending out the firm's adver
tising literature and helped make up the
little literary magazine published by the
house.
he showed a natural bent for this
sort of thing, and with thiB slight prep
aration, on her employer's recommenda
tion, she was accepted as advertising
manager of the kitchenware factory.
There she quickly proved her ability to
make useful her opportunities.
Last winter a law was passed requir
ing' barbers to put in water heaters in
stead of alcohol stoves. She had three
days in which to prepare and mail 5,000
letters to the barbers in New York.
Again the head of a department in
formed her that he was about to change
the design of the sink manufactured by
the firm, and she must devise some
scheme to get rid of 1,000 sinks of the
old pattern in the Btockroom. Three
nmiiiLs later there were only a dozen
left of the 1,000. And last and greatest
of all. she has been so fortunate as to
aclib that ambition of the advertiser,
the originator of a catch phrase, the
one which adorns her scarlet posters.
Her duties illustrate the things that
women are doing in the advertising
world 'o-day. Their invasion has been
swift. ;tnd for the same reason that a de
mand for women has risen in all sorts
of lines because of the home women.
Advertisers calculate that 80 per cent,
of everything that goes into the home
is purchased by women. Hence, the
woman advertisement w riter.
Women are the authors of all sorts of
catch phrases seen wherever there are
adve nisements. Down amid the hurly
burly of Nassau street is the office of a
youn woman who is the advertising
representative of three magazines. She

One of the most notable changes of re
cent years in the advertising world has
been the transformation of the old,
stick-like figures, in clothing and fash
ion advertisements, into graceful forms
A young woman who studied art at
Cooper Institute has had a hand in this
transformation. She went to Chicago
and became connected with an engrav
ing house. Then she went into a big
millinery concern as its advertising
agent. One of her ideas was a period
ical, the organ of the house, which she
edited and made the designs for.
So successful were her ideas that in
a year she found herself back in New
York with a larger field opening before
her, as the designer for a great adver
tising agency. She draws women, swell,
stunning women, on horseback, in street
dress, in carriage and reception gowns.
They wear their clothes well, and make
every woman who sees them desire to
go and do likewise.
Another woman artist became so suc
cessful in her advertising designs that
one of the largest agencies in the coun
try was organized to exploit her ideas,
and she was made vice president. For
several years her work has been seen
throughout the country.
Her designs combine artistic ideas
and suitability to the subject in a pe
culiarly felicitous way. For an an
nual sale of baby wear she will draw
a group of infants so delicious that they
would indicate to any right-minded
mother that this firm has a proper ap
preciation of babies.
Few jump into an advertising man
agership with such a flying leap as did
the young English woman first referred
to. Most have attained it through a
solid apprenticeship, either in art, busi
ness or newspaper experience. One of
the women recognized as most prolific
of new ideas among the advertisers of
New York began her career as a stenog
rapher at three dollars a week.

Flowers are not always named by

botanist. But there is only one in
stance reported of a man and flower
receiving a name at the same time.
Marechal Niel, on his return from the
Franco-Austrian war, received a basket
of beautiful yellow roses from a peas
ant woman. One of the stems hail a
reot clinging to it, and this the mare
chal took to a florist in Paris, under
whose care it became a thriving bush
laden with blossoms. This Niel took
as a gift to the Empress Eugenie, who,
on hearing that it was nameless, said:
"It shall be the Marechal Niel." At the
same time she bestowed upon the as
temished general the jeweled baton in
dicating his high rank of marechal of
France.

KEEP BOYS ON THE FARM.
durational Department Glva Good
Advice to Rural Father Ad
vice to the Teachers.
The superintendent of public Instruc
tion of the Btate of Indiana has recently
issued a bulletin touching on the steady
migration of the. young men of the rural
districts to the cities in search of a so
called "better chance." Believing that
Indiana is being sapied of its energies
by that movement, the department in a
bulletin to the teachers bays that they
can influence the boy to stay on the farm
and to work out its problems.
"It wiil be a sad day for our national
life when all our young farmers come to
town; when the small, well-cultivated
homesteads give way to landed estates,"
the bulletin says.
The necessity of keeping the boys on
the farm was the subject of a discussion
as to what the teacher can do for the
community. A teacher's power in deter
mining the industry of a community lias
In making her schoolrt)om a busy work
shop, where the rights of others and the
nobility of honest toil are taught.
The bulletin which is being sent out
by the state superintendent deals with
the relation of the teacher to the school,1
her patrons and the locality. The teach
er, the bulletin says, ought to be a mis
sionary, harmonizing turbulent ele
ments. Doomlno Hooka.
