LOOKOUT

DO YOU know of anyone
who is old enough to
read, who has not seen that
sign at a railroad crossing
If everyone has seen it at some
time or other, then why doesn’t
the railroad let the sign rot
away ? Why does the railroad
company continue to keep
those signs at every crossing ?
Maybe you think, Mr. Merchant,
“Most everybody knows my
store, I don’t have to advertise.”
Your store and your goods need
more advertising than the rail
roads need do to warn people
to “Look Out for the Cars.”
Nothing is ever completed in the
advertising world.
The Department Stores are a
very good example—they are
continually advertising —and
they are continually doing a
good business.
If it pays to run a few ads 'round
about Christmas time, it cer
tainly will pay you to run ad
vertisements about all the time.

LARGEST VALVE IN WORLD
Automobile Driven Through Opening
of Monster Device at Niagara
Falls.
Niagara Falls, N. Y.—One of the
largest valves in the world has just
been installed in a power plant on the
Canadian side of Niagara Falls. This
monster affair weighs nine tons and
was made for controlling one of three
12,000 horsepower turbines. The valve
is thirty feet high and has a nine-foot
opening through which, as seen in our
Illustration, an automobile was driven

HOW FIREWATER GOT NAME
Test by Which Indians Learned to Dis
tinguish Whisky That Was
Diluted.
New York.—When the Hudson Bay
Trading company commenced trading
among the Indians it was found "that
by selling the Indians liquor they could
more easily be induced to trade their
peltries. The first whisky was brought
to this country in large barrels, but
in transporting it overland, it was
found more convenient to divide it into
small kegs.
The white traders soon became
aware, according to the American
Wine Press, that by diluting the whisky
with water, more furs could be obtain
ed. This was practiced for some time,
but the Indians learned that good
whisky poured on a fire would cause
it to flame up, whereas, had the whisky
been diluted, the fire would be
quenched.
It was by this simple experiment
that the term "firewater" became a J
Indians' Infallible Test.
,-ommon word among Indians. A chief
who had experienced the bad effects of
whisky among his people said it was
most certainly distilled from the hearts
of wildcats and the tongues of women
from the effects it produced.
SERVANTS RUN A NEWSPAPER
Viennese Mistresses Dismayed When
It Prints Names of Undesirables
and Alleged Wrongs.
Vienna. —A new spirit of indepen
dence observable of late among Vien
nese servants, both maids and men,
is widely attributed to a new weekly
journal called the Servants’ Review.
Viennese mistresses express dismay
at Its appearance.
The new journal calls upon all do
mestics to organize themselves and
thus obtain a weapon by which wages
can be raised and conditions of work
improved. All ill-treated and op
pressed servants are invited to pour
their woes into the ears of the editor,
w r ho offers them the consolation of
printing the names and addresses of
hard-hearted masters and mistresses.
Subscribers to the journal are al
lowed to advertise for situations free
of charge, and notices of footmen's
balls and concerts for maids of all
work are features of the publication.
Inks Fish to Sell Them.
South Norwalk, Conn.—A youthful
genius of this town has sold several
hundred pounds of frost fish to house
keepers as trout. The -frost fish had
been decorated with red ink to make
them look like trout. As frost fisb
they were worth less than S cents a
pound, but as trout they sold for 25 tc
35 cents a pound.
AN INVITATION

China cuts off tier queue .and the

If tiie Baltimore papers are right, a
iady pickpocket is doing business in
that city. They should encourage her
to marry ttie gentlemanly burglar and
begin life anew. —Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
The St. Izniis Times has discovered
tiie first violator of the pure food law
—“Yankee Doodle,” who stuck a
feather in his cap and ' called it mac
aroni.” Perhaps a violator of the
game law also. What kind of a
feather was it?—Los Angeles Herald.
Pearson Hobson will give us a story
for boys. Certainly his speeches were
largely fiction, but the old boys would
not read and he may now pass them

According to the census, there is
to every square mile in Nevada only
seven-tenths of a man. To find the
rest of him you must just step over

The report that 100,000 tobacco
growers will raise no tobacco this
year will, we presume, have no ef
fect on the cigarette industry.—St.
Louis Times.
To enliven the libretto of The Girl
of the Golden West, its performers
should interpolate that great Italio-
American classic, My Greata Biga
Brother Sylvest.—Chicago Journal.
The “jimswinger,” which has been
designated the official dress coat of
Oklahoma, is described by the gover
nor of that state as “any old thing
whose tails will flap In the breeze."
This seems to promise a new lease
of life for the old-fashioned night
shirt. —Cleveland Leader.
“Helen pink" is a new shade nam-

| Miss Helen Taft. We know some

j A young man in Wyoming seated

—Havana Post.
The statement of a New York soci
ologist that with forty feet of ground
and a goat he could easily keep the
wolf from the door indicates that the
wolf has a discriminating sense of
smell.—Louisville Courieer-Journal.
Two waiters of twenty years ago
in the Congress hotel at Chicago now
own a controlling interest in this val
uable property. Perhaps this is an
other exemplification of the force of
the adage that everything comes to
those who wait. But you’ve got to
keep hustling while you're waiting.—
Topeka Journal.
The poor women have been handed
another lemon. The laundrymen re
fuse to do the peek-a-boo waists by
the pound.—Pensacola Journal.
Peary has given his medals to the
nation, but the removal of the duty
on hides probably prevents Doctor
Cook from doing likewise. —York Dis

night seems to leave an unsatisfied
longing.—Gainesville Sun.

of living under the heading. Making
Both Ends Meet. But only a miracle
worker could make one end meet
without the other—Louisville Courier-
Journal.
The excitement concerning what is
called the new “harem” skirt seems to
be unwarranted. It is nothing more
than the divided skirt which a few
sensible American women have been
wearing for nearly twenty years in
order to enable them to ride safely
and comfortably in the saddle.—Ro
chester (N. Y.) Herald.
‘‘lt has leaked out that King Man
uel w-as playing bridge when he lost
his crown and kingdom,” says the
Richmond Times-Nispatch. Not a few
bridge players fare even worse than
that and lose their heads.—Danville j
Register. 1
This is the season when the “Black
Hand’’ is conspicuous in the South.
It is extended, however, not with re
volver or dirk in Italian fashion, but
for “Crismus gif’.”—Columbia State.
The proportion of unmarried women
in America is growing larger each
j year. Is it because the men are too
| diffident or the girls too discriminat
ing?—Los Angeles Herald.
That woman who married a burglar
who had robbed her probably figured
it back by going through his pockets
while he was asleep.—Washington
Post.
The Richmond papers are complain
ing of “the Ninth street swamp” in
that city. It they had that swamp iu

calling it a harbor.—Bristol (Tennj

“Give the wicked Bernhardt a wide
berth ” demands a Boston divine.
What for? There are enough fat peo
ple to fill the wide berths.—Brockton
Times.
A young man in Indiana killed him
self because he could not understand
Poe's poetry. What would he have
done if he had been reading Brown
ing?—Washington Herald.
Again it is reported that the hoop
skirt is coming back. Not if the wear
ers have to pass the Williamson build
ing in Cleveland and the Flatiron
building in New York. Cleveland
Leader.
“Music hath charms,” remarks the
New- Orleans Picayune. Leaving
aside the fact that this can scarcely
be called a ‘scoop,” we hope the Pic

It doesn’t require much provocation
to have one-self arrested, nowadays.
An American in London has been
pinched because he had 2,000 $1 bills
in his possession. And It was only
the other day that Explorer Peary es
caped a like fate by pawning his over
coat with the waiter to pay for his
dinner. What the safe means is no
fellow can say with certainty.—Roch
ester Herald.
Time alone can tell whether that
carload of motherless and fatherless
babies shipped from New York to
Texas went from bad to worse.—Des
Moines Tribune.
The rumor that Kansas has develop
ed a popular movement discrediting
whiskers sounds like a charge of po
litical backsliding.—Washington Star.
Chantecler is a queer thing to be
staged in this skeptical age, and to
orginate in hardheaded France, and to
have Maude Adams, petite as she is,
for the masterful title role. Can she
really crow? —Buffalo News.
According to The News and Courier
a Charleston girl received fifteen
proposals in one week. But it is not
recorded that she accepted either —
Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser.
If these tearful scenes between dog
loving and childless women and clerk 3
continue to be enacted in our hotel
corridors because of refusal to allow
the pups to be taken into the guest
rooms, some kindhearted Boniface w r ill
be justified in erecting a canine hos
telry in the capital city.—Richmond

the continual bark of the wolf just
outside their door will get a little
snicker out of the firm name of L’ff,

Harry K. Thaw can pay one-fifth
of his debts. This announcement sur
prises those people who thought that
the law'yers had got all of Thaw's
money.—Pensacola New r s.
A stocking stiletto is the latest
weapon to be used by w omen, and this
handy weapon of defense is said to
be attached to the garter. The fight
against long hatpins is no doubt the
cause of women adopting a new weap
on in place of the time-honored hat
pin.—Pensacola Journal.
Peary, it appears, walked fifty-five
miles in fifteen hours. Pooh! Cook
must have done twice as well, at
least. Otherwise he would never
have pached the pole. Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
American Industries has a special
article on How an Emergency Curren
cy Works. The paragraphers’ union
knows how emergency currency
works. Usually it purchases break
fast.—Austin Statesman.
Woman has invented the term hus
bandette to denote the man whose
wife is wiser and stronger than he is.
Huh! Why not craveoette? By the

garb doing carttail oratory under the
yellow flag at saloon side doors de
manding votes.—New York Telegram.
“Medical records show,” says a
nerve specialist, “that persons who

remarked for their good health.” Let
him explain that to his wife.—Cleve
