Mr. Crnlgheml. looking down Into
Broadway from the window of his of

"But about the Universal Nitrates
nnd Air Products company," said a fat
man with perpetually poised pencil,
"and its connectlou with the neronef
company?"
"Merely fortuitous," replied Craig
head. "The acronef company Is nu
ephemeral agency for profit nnd I
scorn It!"
"But you are a director?"
"Oh, yes! Oh. yes!" replied Craig
head. "But the greater things had not
occurred to me when I went Into it. I
was 111. I was under a claim. I was
chemicalizing In that reaction which
results in the product known as rung
state of alcoholism or magalo-conver-sation.
A natural monopolist. General
Tueodo' Cahson, M. A., took advantage
of my weakness and got me Into It.
Honor rooted in dishonor stands, and
faith unfaithful keeps me falsely true,
and I stay with him in his fight with
Aerostatic Power. Then I shall give
my whole attention to the Universal
Nitrates and Air Products company,
which Is to the Carson-Craighead acro
nef as the rings of Saturn to those of
a faro bank. And. to originate a
phrase, that's going somen'
"You're really good, Mr. Craighead,"
said a girl reporter, "and If the
tungstate of your alcoholic days was
worse than this you ought to have
taken something for it"
"I tried to." confessed Craighead,
"but Dr. WItherspoon expelled me!"
"But here's the situation as we get
It. If we're wrong, we'll stay wrong
unless you set us right."
-Oh. cursed spite!"' recited Craig
head. "No more tungstate. If you please."
said the young woman. "The Air

Craighead method or otherwise, for
the purpose of obtaining fertilizers to
thereby Increase the capacity of the
earth for supporting population'"
"Is that" cried he frantically. "In
our articles? Then all Is lost! Let me
take It!"
With shaking band Craighead took
down the telephone and usked for Mr
Fllley
This you. Fllley?" be queried
"Here's something that ruins us. A
split infinitive In the articles. Won't
hurt anything? Won't have to be done
over? And we call ourselves civilized!"
Craighead handed the paper back.
"You have shocked me," said he.
"But never mind, dearie! I know not
whether to rejoice for the Air Products
company or weep for Institutions that
allow Mich n solecism to be legal as 'to
thereby Increase.' "
"Well." said the reporter. "It goes
on to say 'and for seeming all rights
In the atmosphere necessary for Its
complete reduction to possession for
the production of nitrates, ozones nnd
all other atmospheric derivatives and
for the securing of exclusive rights in
the nir over lands for all purposes
whatsoever. Now, that" said she.
'"for all purposes whatsoever Isn't
that pretty broad?"
"A broad Intellect composed it"
"These rights happen merely hap
pento gridiron every state In squares
marked by grants and leases to the
Air Products company?"
"My child." said Craighead, "do you
understand the Craighead method of
extracting nitrates from the atmos
phere by spontaneous discharges of
statical electricity from electrodes sus
pended over the earth's surface?'
"No." she said. "Do you?'
"It Is one of my specialties," said he.
"If I might have you nil to myself for
an evening I would explain, but for the
nonce by-by!"
Mr. Craighead took much pleasure
In his posltlou as press representative
of the Carsnn-Cralghead Aeroncf com
pany. The Virginia, ner builder nnd
the contest with Aerostatic Power
were matters on which the great dal
lies had men at work ulgbt and day.

An educated ad reader will never bo poor.
To "know advertising" is to have a prac

when and how and where to buy. No one,
having and utilizing such knowledge, could
ever be unthrifty, or in an' sense careless .
or reckless of expenses. For such knowl
edge makes for thrift for saving. It makes
one proof against shams false values
manipulated reductions.
The intelligent ad reader uses as much
thought and ability in buying things as is
required in earning the money that is spent
for them. And that amounts to a substan
tial increase of the valuo of every dollar
