They rescue a peace plea from the inside pages and give it firet page position. * ‘Human nature insists that there shall be something doing, wel- tomes war because it keeps things.moving and deprecates peace as uninteresting. The merit of such incidents as the invasion of Car- nogie Hall by (so-called) Irish and Germans is that they make peace quite as interesting as war, and therefore tend to make war) nnecessary. It is better to shout than to shoot, and if there is . enough shouting there will be no shooting. New York has really | éxtracted more solid enjoyment out of two little riots in which no, lives were lost and only a few heads broken than out of the entire Italo-Turkish war. * Peace would make greater advances if the rioters would gain) actual possession of some arbitration meeting and get a bellicose | tesolution adopted. It is a paradox of human nature that the men) ‘ho deplore fighting are the men who do all of it when the time | comes, while the men who clamor for war are the men who, when war | comes, “stay to hum and look after the folks.” A meeting domi nated by so-called peace men is therefore a meeting dominated by | potential fighters. A meeting dominated by so-called belligerents | would be a meeting of essential pacifists, most of whom “could not | be kicked into a fight.” | “New York learned this back in 1863.

The watch had disap- peared, and though he apppared to be genuinely distressed vy this fact he pro- fessed to know nothing about what had ‘become of it. And thore who knew hi best were entiraly convinced of his sin- cerity in the matter. It seemed to be established beyond question that he had travelled considerably while he was away, and that he knew very little about what he had done or where he had been. The widow was greatly distressed, not merely by the loas of a really valuable article, ibut by the sentimental disap: pointment in the miscaritage of her husband's wishes. Though she ques- tloned her brother-in-law closely and at great length she was unable to learn anything which might serve as a clue to the whereabouts of the watch. Then, as she lay, one night, awake, thinking of the joss, a message came to her, She was unable to say how it came, or even whether it was spoken aloud, but it was deeply impressed on her mind by some means which she could not explain, It was to the effect that the watch had been pawned with a certain pawnbroker at a certain number in a certain street in Philadelphia. She had never been in Philadelphia, and had no knowledge even of the name of the street to which she had been di- rected, or of any pawnbroker of any name in that city, but she went there the next day and found the place ex- actly where she had been told, kept by the pawnbroker whose name had been communicated to her, And he had the wateh Even after this the brother-in-law was unable to remember that he had ever been in Philadelphia, \ By Mm e.

Master Willie Jarr sat on a chair in the corner of the front room and gazed in great awe at these celebrated men. He was wondering if he would be like that when he grew up. He felt rather sure he would not have & bald head and bushy scarlet side whiskers, such as Dr. Greese had. He also felt inclined to doubt that he would ever be swarthy and pompously impos- ing like Prof. Blurk., Neither was he tn- clined to belleve that he would bellow when he spoke, when he grew up, or wear ehiny frock coats and very s Picious-looking and down-at-the-heel congress gaiters. If these were the outward signs of celebrity, Master Jarr reseived that he would rather be a cowboy, a detective or @ pirate than a great man. “You were speaking of the psychology of advertising,” sald Mr. Jarr. “Am I to understand that the psychology of advertising means that people will buy corn salve because it can be used for shoe polish rather than to buy it know- ing it can be used for its original pur- Pose and nothing else?” “Why, to be sure!” boomed Prof. Slurk, while Dr. Greese nodded tn affir- "It you will notice, advertisers of staples get people to buy them not by. insisting that people need them, but Decause customers will save money by Pirchasing now, or because trading stamps are being given with them, or because of a dozen other reasons aside from the fact that people need and must have and use the goods advertised.” “Yes, you see there were scores of other street merchants selling corn salve imply as corn salve,” said Dr. Greese. “These sidewalk merchants could not grasp the psychology of advertising. We could, We offered a corn salve that could be used as a shoe polish and we were so crowded by customers that, to be frank with you, an® insulting and very officious policeman ordered us to move on.” “How did you know your also be used as a shoe poilsh?” Mr. Jarr. “We knew it contained an oily basis,” said Prof. Slurk. “How did you know that?” asked Mr, Jarr. ‘The two men looked at each other as though undecided as to whether it were best to betray trade secrets. But !t was evident that they felt re- Heved at being able to speak freely and frankly, and Dr. Greese grinned and sald: and Mrs. foods could asked “To tell you the truth, ft i salve at all. It's peanut butter. ‘Peanut butter?” cried Mri mother in surprise. Dr. Greese went on, “it is Peanut butter. After the disastrous re- sults of our temperance lectures fn Brooklyn and Newark, we decided that the great pubilc at large no longer cared to hearken to moral admonitions, and we decided to go into trade, We purchased @ gross of empty corn salve boxes from a wholesale drug house, but found after we had done so that we had but a dime left. “We determined that as corn eaive must stand the test of time, and as we would not be in the vicinity whan thr time was up, some cheaper abstitute might answer our purpose just as well, So we bought 10 cents’ worth of peanut dutter at a grocevy) store and filled enough of. the bosm to begin with.” “Here the seychology of advertising came into play,” intarpeen Prof. Slurk. “I knew that corn salve aa sidewalk merchandise was no novelty, but @ corn salve that could be used aa a shoe polish would incite interest and wont ment and at the ‘same time preserve the unities. People who had no corns needed thelr shoes shined. People who have corns need their shoes shined. A Uttle newnut butter on a rag will give a gloss to a more or less recently shined shoe. I demonstrated this to the awe of all beholders. When they saw It Bave a gloss to thelr shoes, how could they doubt that {t would remove corns?” “Well, I should think,” said Mr. Jarr, “that you could have intensified the psychology of advertising if you had spread some of the peanut butter on bread and claimed that your corn salve was palatable and edible.” Both Dr. Greese and shook their heads, “That would have never done,” said Dr. Greese. “The first reason being that they would have detected it was Peanut butter, but the greater and far Satt’s Prof. Slurk |more important is that we must never violate the ethics of good taste!” “Can the ethics of go0d taste be vie- Yated in selling corn salve?” asked the uunded Mr. Jari "Only too easily,” Said Prof. slurk. “In vending any article of a confidential nature the ethics of true refinement. must be carefully observed.” “Yes,” eald Dr. Greege, “one,may eell an automobile or a plano and be jocose, but stockings must be sold as ‘hosiery,’ and the seller must carofully eschew ‘all Jocosity.” y What the Worker Ought . to Have the workingman dinner pail is often at loss for a sult Too often she knows that unless she thinks of something there will be nothing to drink but the cheap! intoxicants that are so often purchased | and which are detrimental to the health of the drinker and which do not even quench thirst, If there fe a way to heat the drink, coffee 1s, of course, the “old standby.” If you prepare the coffee be sure that it 1s not too strong, that the coffee Is a good quality, that the milk added ts t and that there is not, rin it, Often whole! meals are spoiled by the addition of too much sugar to the coffee or by milk which has become slightly sour before being added, says the Chicago Tribune, Cocoa is more nutritious than coffee, and is a satisfactory sybstitute'in every way.

Lemonade, too, Is a good ad- dition to the meal, if there is any way of cooling It. Soups of various kinds, both the home made and the prepared, are good “drinks” for the dinner pall, and are especially enjoyed in winter, for they add a “filled” feeling that sometimes 1s not obtained by sandwiches.
