A skilled layer of mosaics works with
small fragments of stone they fit into more
places than the larger chunks
The skilled advertiser works with small
words thev fit into more minds than big
phrases
1 he simpler the language the greater cer
tainty that it will be understood by the least
intelligent reader
The construction engineer plans his road
bed where there is a minimum of grade he
works along the iires of least resistance
The advertisement which runs into moun
tainous style is badly surveyed all minds are
not built for high level thinking
Advertising muct be simple When it
is tricked out with the jewelry and silks of
literary expression it looks as much out of
place as a ball dress at the breakfast tab I el
The buying public is only inteiested in
facts People read advertisements to find out
what you have to sell
The advertiser who can fire the most facts
in the shortest time gets the most returns
Blank cartridges make noise but they do not hit
blank talk however clever is only wasted
space
You force your salesmen to keep to solid
facts you dont allow them to sell muslin
with quotations from Omar or trousers with
excerpts from Marie Corelli You must not
tolerate in your printed selling talk anything
that you are not willing to countenance in
personal salesmanship
Cut out clever phrases if they are inserted
to the sacrifice of clear explanations write
copy as you talk Only be more brief Publicity
is costlier than conversation ranging in price
downward from 600 a line talk is not cheap
but the most expensive commodity in the world

THE CARNAGE OF WAR
Story of a Survivor of the Bat
tle of Gravelotte
INTO THE JAWS OF DEATH
An Advance Under Fire From Behind
Barricades That Literally Mowed
Down the Charging Troops A Hand
to Hand Conflict In the Streets
Willianr Guldner a survivor of the
battle of Gravelotte the most hard
fought victory of the Franco Prussian
war tolls In Harpers Magazine how
he saw the victory as color hearer of
his regiment
It must have been I think about 4
oclock when Colonel von Boehn rode
to the head of the regiment and we all
straightened quick as on parade And
he said sharp a few words something
like Men the regiment has a good
name and you will give It a still bet
ter one I was In front and could hear
part of what he said
The colonel led us to the left and
we crossed a railroad track and went
through another little white village
and then we faced a slope a long slope
with a village on It which the
French had made Into a fort and we
our regiment and others were to cap
ture it and there were many French
men and cannon there
The colonel rode on a horse he and
the majors and the adjutants Our
captains usually rode too but this
day the captains sent their horses back
and went on foot
And soon our first men began to
fall for we came under the fire of the
chassepot It was hard for we could
net see the enemy These first ones
were many sharpshooters in a ditch
and the noise of their firing was like
that of a coffee mill They
drew off as we went forward It was
only at a walk that we went a steady
walk just as if there were no bullets
there
And now we would run forward
fifty yards and throw ourselves flat
then another fifty yards and the halt
and the falling flat and each time Ave
could see the village that was a for
tress nearer
And once when we were lying down
and I saw that the officers were stand
ing just cool and quiet it came to me
that a man has to pay in such ways to
be an officer
I saw the colonel fall He was shot
from his horse and carried back
The first major he took command
and he galloped to the skirmish line
and he was shot Then the second
major too was shot and he tried to
get up but he could not stand and he
sat on a big stone and shouted Go
on Go on And he took a gun from
a dead man and fired it
We wore ordered to fix bayonets
and that made us glad but even yet
the men carried their rifles on their
shoulders as they ran We were not
near enough to charge with bayonets
I wish I could tell you what it was
like as we got near that village of St
Privat the noise the smoke the
flashes the falling men and only one
desire in our hearts
There were three sergeants in the
color section one at each side of me
And first the one at my right was
killed Then the one at my left was
shot eight big bullets in his body
from a mitrailleuse eight Yet he aft
erward got well while many a man
died from only one little bullet
And at last we went at a bayonet
charge and for the first time there
was a cheer a wild and savage cheer
and we ran on eager to plunge the
bayonets and we could see as we came
near the village that the French were
firing from behind barricades and gar
den walls and from windows
And we looked into the wild faces
of the French and they met us hand
to hand Ah we climbed over walls
and barricades and we fired and bay
oneted and we fought them in the
streets
On and on we went It was a wild
time of shooting bayoneting wres
tling clubbiug shouting On and on
but it was slow work and terrible for
the French fought for every step
I was at the front for I had the
colors Theie were a few officers still
left and they were shouting and wav
ing their swords and other regiments
stormed into the village with us and
after awhile I cant say how long
the place was ours
As I tell it to you it seems perhaps
a simple thing But when the regi
ment was paraded before the battle
began we were more than 2900 men
and more than fifty officers and wo
lost in the fight forty officers and
more than a thousand men Yes that
was the loss of just my regiment alone
It was morderiseh but it was neces
sary
Well it was over The village was
blazing and many a dead man lay in
the ruins Some sat upright dead
with their backs against walls

NEW YORKS BOWERY
Why the Upper Part of It Was Named
Fourth Avenue
In the early forties of the lust cen
tury there lived in Brooklyn a Mr
nnd Mrs Smith Mr Smith was a rls
lug civil engineer uud most of his
work was in New York It was nec
essary that he be nearer his place of
busiuess thau Brooklyn for in those
days ferries were slow and Infrequent
no bridges spanned the river and horse
cars were the speediest means of
transit Being a man of moderate
means Mr Smith went house huntlug
through the streets of New York seek
ing a modest but respectable abode
Near the upper end of the Bowery he
found a small house Elated with hLs
success he rushed home with the news
to his wife But when he mentioned
the name of the street In which this
house stood his wifes face fell
How could you think of It she
asked Smith was In despair
Even as far back as 1S40 the Bow
ery had acquired an unenviable repu
tation Mr Smith tried to explaiu
that the upper part of the Bowery
was still untarnished that many very
respectable people lived in that part
of town that it would be many long
years before crime and sin would
spread that far north
It was all wasted energy The fact
that she would be living on the Bow
ery was sufficient for Mrs Smith
As a civil engineer it was Mr
Smiths custom to overcome obstacles
The following day he hired a convey
ance and he and Mrs Smith went
house hunting together Mrs Smith
knew her Brooklyn thoroughly but
had only a slight acquaintance with
New York After driving through
many streets without finding a suita
ble house the husband quietly turned
into the at Union square and
slowly walked the horse In the direc
tion of the house he had found the
previous day
Suddenly Mrs Smith exclaimed
I Why theres a pretty place to let
dear
Where listlessly questioned her
husband purposely looking in the op
posite direction Had Mrs Smith not
been so intent upon the house in ques
tion she might have noticed the mer
ry twinkle in her husbands eyes and
suspected something
Right over there she replied
pointing to the house with the To
Let sign
An examination of the premises con
vinced Mrs Smith that she must have
the place and when she learned that
her neighbors were old friends of hers
she had her husband close the bar
gain at once
All this time no mention was made
of the street How Smith managed to
A Curious Spanish Custom
Ellen Maury Slayden in the Century

Xo custom of the house was so un
accountable as that of having people
come to see you eat Enjoying a
square meal while our guests inhaled
cigarette smoke seemed so inhospita
ble that I sometimes playfully insisted
upon their having something with us
It was always laughingly declined ex
cept once when a particularly livelj
youth took a piece of ham and ate il j
with all sorts of self conscious little
antics as if he were acting a panto

move into the house and keep Mrs
Smith in the dark as to the name of OrlVc Mb
the street is a mystery But there
came a day and there was a storm
The tear fall was something heretofore
unknown in the Smith household
Once again Mr Smiths habit of
overcoming obstacles stood him in
good stead His wife would not live
on the Bowery ner home was ideal
her neighbors were good people but
they lived on the Bowery So Smith
and oue of his neighbors went before 1
the board of aldermen The neighbor
had influence The street signs from
Union square down to Fourth street
were changed Instead of Bowery
