Advertising is the very life of
trade. Occasionally a merchant
remarks that he basu’t anything
particular toadvertise. It’sn great
mistake. So long as the doors of
:auy business house are open just
long should every merchant
•have a regular talk with the public
•through the columns of the local
ipaper. It is by far the best and
cheapest plan ol advertising. Just
as quickly ns the merchant-jhimself
»becomes lax about pushing his
business then can he certainly ex
vpect the public to do the same.

HOW HE
COT THE'RE
[Original.]
General Nogi was sitting in his tent
before Port Arthur when it was an¬
nounced that Martin Bowles, an Amer¬
ican who had been granted an inter¬
view, was waiting without. The gen¬
eral directed that the man be admitted.
Martin Bowles was a light complex
loncd man, with very little of the
American In him. Indeed, ho had been
in Europe ever since he was ten years
old, and ail of the Yankee had beeu
dropped except the dare devil spirit
that he bad inherited from his father,
who had been one of Mosby’3 men in
the American civil war, while his moth¬
er bad been born in Connecticut. Young
Bowles was closeted with General Nog!
for two hours, at the end of which time
be emerged from the tent and went his
way.
The Russians In one of the principal
forts defending Port Arthur were ex¬
pecting a night attack. Their search¬
lights were moving nervously over the
slopes beneath, star rockets were burst¬
ing in the air, easting brief and faint
illuminations into depressions directly
beneath them, while parachute torches
served the same purpose of throwing
light directly downward.
On a side hill opposite the Russian
forts crouched a man. The light cast
by the star rockets and parachutes was
too faint to reveal him, but he would be
readily seen If a searchlight were point¬
ed directly at him. He watched their
motions till he saw one coming in his
direction. It was moving slowly, as if
the searchers were examining every de¬
tail. Presently It reached his position
and stopped.
There Is .something trying in having
one of these silent sheaves of light
pointed at you. You know some one
hidden In darkness 13 looking at yo •
Every stone, every blade of grass about
you, glistening, tells how plainly you
are seen, and you expect either to hear
the spiteful "ping” of a sharp shooter’s
bullet or feel It pierce your vitals.
But the man on the hillside had no
such fear. Indeed, he was pleased
when the light was turned upon him
and stopped. lie wore a tattered Rus¬
sian uniform, and as soon as he was
satisfied that he was observed he wav¬
ed his hand. Then immediately the
searchlight was turned away.
The man got up and walked rapidly
down the hill. Midway between the
position he had occupied and the fort
he met a company of Russian soldiers.
The commander of the fort had sent
them to enable one of their comrades
to enter his own lines. Perhaps he
might have valuable Information. lie
was taken to the general, who question¬
ed him eagerly.
He said that he was Ivan Vestlovsky
and had belonged to the garrison of a
fort near by on the right which had
been stormed and taken the day before
at dusk. Ho had escaped in the gather¬
ing darkness and hidden in a deserted
rifle pit on the hillside. There he had
observed the dispositions of the Jap¬
anese, who were forming for an at¬
tack.
“Where* are their strong?-t forces ?”
asked the general, “oa oar right or
left:"
"From my position," replied Ivan
“under the light of your rockets and
parachutes, I could sea them massing
on your left. There is a small force o:i
your right, hut they seemed to mo to
lie nearly ready to move.”
“I see,” said the general. "That wily
fox Nogi is going to feint on our right
and storm our left.” Theu he gave or¬
ders to move the most effective guns t >
the left.
On the Russian right was the hill on
which Ivan Vestlovsky had been dls
covered. It was Just high enough to
prevent the Russians from seeing over
its crest. On their left was a compara¬
tively long stretch of open ground
swept by their artillery, beyond which
the ground was again uneven. At 2
o’clock in the morning suddenly a para¬
chute revealed a force of Japanese
marching In a depression In the ground
far to the right where the Tlew was
not obstructed by the hill. At the
time a considerable force was ob¬
served further away on the left. This
seemed to couflrm Ivan’s story. But
the force on the right grew larger and
when within range an overwhelming
forco of Japanese hurried over the
crest of (he bill and before the guns
could be turned swept on to the moat,
planted scaling ladders ami in a
twinkling the fort had been captured.
"I wish to see General Nogi, said
one of tlie Russian prisoners iu fairly
good Japanese.
j Tb« officer lu charge looked at the
man as if he suspected his sanity, but
was still more surprised when the gen¬
eral hurrying up with his staff was
hailed by the prisoner, and turning
came up to him and embraced bim.
“We owe you everything.” he said.
I Then he told the officer that he would
; take the prisoner away with him.
| The two went to that side of the fort
, which had not beeu fought over and
when the general saw the guns all
I there he embraced the prisoner again.
“ Mr Howl «* 4 ” be said, "I saw through
a) J' <?'*»«*» the Russians moving these
j guns and knew that your ruse had
been aucccssftil. You have enabled us
at the risk of your life to capture
easily a strong fort In our way. Now,
how can I reward you?”
“General,” replied Mr. Bowles. “I am
a bom American, and a Yankee never
ioes something for nothing? 1 repre¬
sent an American newspaper and I
want permission to send dispatches. • *
“Keep near to my headquarters, • •
said the general with a grim smile,
"and I’ll favor you whenever I can do
lt without risking my plans.”
“I knew I'd get there.” said the
Yaokoo. ARTHUR D. BERWICK.
