The Great Equality.
One thing especially impresses
us ir. connection, with the great
Lusitania disaster. Is is the “de
rnocracy of death.”
Of the bodies of the dead which
have been found and brought
ashore, there is no distinction of
class or fortune. The millionaire
of world-fame lies beside the steer
age laborer whose name is lost.
And it is here where all meet
on one common level. Class dis
tinction may have kept one far
above the ether in the eyes of the
world while life animated their
bodies.
But now all are equally hum
bled in death and every one equal
ly lowly in station as he goes o
meet the final Judge of all men.
Some of our very smart men of
recent years have been unlearn
ing for us many truths which had
been deeply implanted in us. They
tell us that nothing is farther from
truth than that statement in our
Declaration of Independence, that
“all men are created free and
equal.”
Perhaps they are correct. But
here at last is where all men come
to be equal at least and where all
must come as well.
Hero is one of the few bright
spots in warfare. Soldiers enter
into battle as prince and pauper
and come out in death with every
difference and distinction wiped
away.
This in turn tends to bring about
a nearer approach of democracy
of feeling between those of differ
ferent classes among the soldiers
who survive, for they see tho ulti
mate futility of the wall which
their price builds up to shut them
out from their fellows of an infe
rior caste.
And we are inclined to believe
that a Diyine eye still oversees
everything as closely as in Biblical
times and that his vengeance is
being stored up for that people
which hears. As sweet music the
shriek of terror from innocent wo
ment and children wantonly mur
dered by that people’s inordinate
hate and lust for blood.
Story of the Advertiser.
By trebla yendis smada.
Once upon a time there lived a
successful business man in a city
of about ten thousand inhabitants
who believed there was but one
way to make a suceess in life, and
that way was to advertise. He
did advertise and made money for
years and years.
He once said that he knew of
but one business that could be
run successfully without advertis
ing and that was burglarizing. Of
course no burglar would want to
announce the fact that he would
on a certain night rob a bank or a
house.
This man grew older and be
came careless about advertising,
saving, when a newspaper man
approached him, “Ah, everybody
knows w’here my place is, it’s
wasting money to advertise,” or
something to that effect. A few
years passed and younger men
opened up businesses in town,
such as his and advertised in their
home paper. This old fellow soon
noticed that Ins business was bad,
so he determined not 'o let these
other firms put him out of busi
ness. He goes over to one of the
papers in town and says, “See
here, John, I want a double page
ad and ten thousand circulars.”
“Alrijit, Mr Smith,-we will he
glad to get th**tn nut tor' yon,” So
he went ahead and advertised his
ofd stock and mentioned a lot of
things he didn’t have and the peo
ple came to his store, thinking
that they would get the.burgnin
of their lives and failed to find
anything they wajited.
Not many months after this his
place was closed up py the sheriff
and, his stock of goods almost giv
en away. This happened at the
time when he needed money to
finish educating his children. His
children went out into the world
with hardly a common school ed
ucation and without a penny, thus
the once big advertiser died with
out leaving money enough to pay
his funeral expenses.
This is a peuculiar story, but
nevertheless true. It proves be
yond doubt that every business
man, no matter how small his
business jnay be, should advertise
accordingly. Keep the name of
the firm before the people. Let
them know that you are still do
ing' business, and above all, do not
advertise something you havn’t
got in your store. —Ex.

What a Woman Can Do.
Robert J. Burdette has said, as
only Burdette could have said,
that a woman cannot sharpen a
pencil, and, outside of commercial
circles, she cannot tie a package
to make it look like anything save
a crooked cross section of a chaos;
but land of miracle! See what she
can uo with a pin! I believe there
are some women who can pin a
glass k lob to a door. She cannot
walk so many miles around a bil
liard table with nothing to eat and
nothing (to speak of) to drink,
but she can walk the floor all night
with a fretful baby, without going
sound to sleep the first half hour
She can nde five hundred miles
