MADE IT ALLBY HOLLERIN1 Unique Reply of a Fruit Vendor to Question About His Success. The "Success" maga'Alne contnliiH the following : This WIIH the reply of n street fruit vendor to n liuly who ashed him how lie hud iniiilo IIH | inonoy "Mailo II nil by hollorlu1. " "You'vo iot ; to hollor. " ho said. "If you wiuil to do IIIIHIII | < HH. Now there WIIH ix fuller soiling' black- horrU'H ; bin fnthor WIIH a sort of gon'lo- iiiiui , and Dan'l ho nort of foil 'hove liln orriiiallon. | Ho Hiioakcd 'round the alloys Hiiyln1 'BlaohhorrloH !

' llko the rent of UH. YOH , ma'am , you'vo got lo holler your way through the world If you want to innUo anything , you Just hot ! " This IH a "hollorlu1 , " advertising ago. A palont medicine maker says that , If ho were given ton thousand dolluri ) to start with , ho could hottlo ordinary water so attraotlvoly and , under an IniproHHlvo iiainn , push It HO persistently - ly as a roiuody for contain dl&cascH that , In a short tlnio , ho would make a fortune , and also a great copulation for IIH ! "roinody. " People seeing It advertIsed long and persistently would coino , ho said , to associate with It powerful - orful medicinal qualities which It never - or possossod. hut the thought acting on the mind would proiluco such bonoll- clal results that ho could oaslly obtain scores of tuHtlmonlals for mtirvoloiiH euros. Whether this Hlatomont Is entirely rollahlo or not , there Is certainly the hasls of a great truth In It. The Inllu- once of keeping porslnlontly before the eyes and holding before the mind the naino and nualltlos of an artlelo Is hound to inulto an Impression more or less ponnaaent , so that , when the person thus Impressed wants anything lu the line of the article he him so long seen udvortlsod , he will , by the law of association , ho more llkoly to got that one which has made such n strong Impression on his mind than something with which ho Is less fa miliar. The experienced advertiser knows that the great majority of people are Imitators or followers. Tin- tobaccon ist who advertises ! that ho has sold a million cigars of a certain brand knows very well , whether his state ment la true or not , that thousands of people will follow the suggestion ho has Implanted In their minds and do what ethers have done , reasoning that what so many others have bought must have merit. The same is true of the grocer , the dry goods merchant , the druggist of all those who have any thing to sell. They appeal to the Im- agination and to the natural credulity of tin people , as well as to their In stinct to Imitate and follow. In the dii > s of primitive advertising a large representative dealer in drugs would hire people to go around to drug stores to Inquire for a ceitaln article. This Mentions demand would induce druggists to buy the particular article , in order to till what they thought a real and normal demand. Then , hav ing the thing on luuid , they would rec ommend It to customers , who , hearing its merits extolled , would. In their turn , be Induced to buy. The same re- milt is now obtained through advertis ing In newspapers , magazines and the other ordinary channels of lodiiy. There are i great many Inferior ar ticles on the market which have an enormous sale because of Ingenious find extensive advertising , while supe rior articles , for lack of such advertis ing , remain unsold , whatever Is kept In the background , no matter how good It may be. Is distrusted by the masses. Many of us think that we are not Inlluonced by advertising ; but , un consciously , we aro. Advertisers know this. They know that the ma jority of people will call for that which they see extensively advertised. They realize that the widely heralded and "seen everywhere" article will appeal to the average man and woman. Thousands of people read n partic ular book , not because It Is the best they can find , hut because they have seen it so widely advertised and have heard so much talk about it. They tnko it for granted that a book which has created a demand for so many ed itions must bo the proper thing to read , although it may bo nothing but trash compared with other books that have never been even mentioned In the newspapers. It Is conspicuous , persistent adver tising that sells. If quality can be combined with effective advertising , ' * success Is assured for almost any pro duct. The best toilet soap In the world would probably never obtain a large sale If It were not advertised , whereas a very Inferior article , oxlon- tholy aihorllsod and pushed on o\ory ildo by posters and Ingenious devices A'lll make HH proprietor a millionaire. If pul up In an attractive inannerlii irtlHlle boxen , tied with diilntv rib' lions , exposed for nalu In handsome stores , and extensively advertised , the quality of ordinary confectionery will ho enhanced a hundredfold In the mlnilH of the people , because they will iiHHorlale UH quality with UH surround- IngH. In those "push nr bo pushed" days , when waroH are thriiHl In your face at ( ho breakfast ( able , In ( ho nowHpaporH , when all kinds of dovlooH are used to force your iitlonllnii to every kind of merchandise , at a time when people are too busy to examine Into ( ho real merits of an article , It IH necessary to force your goods to the front , or ( hey will remain unsold , oven If of a supe rior quality , lu the early history of the country , superiority alone would force an ar ticle forward. The name of George Washington on a barrel of ( lour , the name of AIIIOH on a plow or a Hhovol , or Dial of Maydolo on a hammer , was HUlllclont to foreo these articles Into popularity ; but today II would take more than a name , no matter If It did stand for Integrity and was it synonym for superiority , to accomplish such a result. In IhlH electrical ago , the man who SOH ) | morchandlHo of any descilptlon , unlosH ho has practically a monopoly , must urge his wares upon the maiket by a progressive and persistent pub licity , or ho miiHt Mop out of the pro cession and lot others pans by him.

HE WILL GET OVER HIS CASE Cincinnati Woman Invited Young Lady to Her Home The Young Woman Fell In Love With Hostess * Husband and Can't Live Without Him. Cincinnati , Doc. I. "Glvo him time , he'll got over It. " That IH the advice Mrs. Marlon Hubbell - boll of Hopkins street handed out to JealoiiH wives today. Mm. Huhbcll knows what ulio Is talking about , or thinks HIO ) does. Her husband , an electrical engineer , IH In love with pretty MHH ! Vesta Hall , aged 17 , of Wilmington , Ohio. Mm. Htibbell and her liiiHhand talked the matter over Sunday and the wife decided that she would tnku her chance on her husband recovering from his Infatuation rather than gel a divorce. For a week Miss Hall had been n guest In the lluhhell homo. Shu told slorloH ( o ( ho Hiihboll children , she helped Mrs. Huhholl cook for the man Ihoy both love , and Mrs. Iliibholl treat ed her just IIH she would any other guesl. Sunday Miss Hall returned. Hubbell - boll took her homo and loturnud to IIIH work loday. "I suppose It seems strange to some people , " said Mrs , Hubbell , "but I see no reason for separation from my" IIUH- band just because ho is Infatuated with a pretty girl. Most men are , nt one ( line or another , and the only dif ference there Is hot ween myself and other women Is that I have my bus hand's confidence. My husband met Miss Hall while In Wilmington last summer , where ho hoarded with Miss HaH'H mother. The girl Is full of ro mance. Her love Is n matter of the Imagination. Mlno is practical. She would never wash and slave for a poor working man and his two children , but llubbell doesn't 'know thin. He'll wake up some day and our home will he IIH happy as It was before he met Miss Hall. " " 1 have wronged neither of those women , " said Huhholl himself today. "They me both good , pure women , and their only fault , If such It can bo termed , is that they both love so well that neither can give mo up. My at tentions to Miss Hall since I knew she loved mo so passionately have boon only those any man would pay to u good girl friend. She simply loves to be with mo and near me. " Miss Hall said : "I would rather die than cease to love him ; It makes no difference to mo that ho Is married. When he Is away from mo my life is like tindarkness. . " GARFIELD ITEMS.

HELD HANDS AT BATTLE CREEK Landlord Best of That Town , and a Servant , are Star Witnesses. The town of Hattlo Creek as the place , and Uindlord Best of the Best hotel there , and Mrs. Aerial Wolfe , a chambermaid In the hotel , arc just now figuring prominently in a. highly sensational law suit at Sioux City , in which one P. S. Champlln , a South Dakota farmer , Is seeking to recover damages against Edward M. Sinclair who , it Is alleged , entertained Improp er relations with Ctmmplln's wife and who , according to landlord Host of Hallo Creek , hold the hands of Mrs. Champlln in that town. Concerning the testimony of these two HatUfi Creek people , the Sioux City Journal says ; Mrs. Wolfe testified that she acci dentally opened the door of Sinclair's room ono day and saw Mra. Champlln In the room with Slnchi'r. She said she had seen them togoUior about the hotel a number of ( fines and noticed many things of n suspicious nature. Mr. Uesl said no saw Mr. Sinclair and Mrs. Chnmplln sitting on Sin clair's bed together ono night , nnd again saw them holding hands. This , ho said , was before Mrs. Champlln was granted a divorce from her hus band. P. S. Champlln. Best testltled that Sinclair often stopped at his ho le. ' , and from that as n center ho would V'ork all of the surrounding territory. Ho said Mrs. Champlln also made that place her headquarters , and from there she would go to surrounding towns to give art lessons. In the cross examination Attorney ( 'red Sargent attempted to bring out ( ho facts concerning ft curtain busi ness deal between Besl and Sinclair which had not been altogether pleas ant. An effort was made to show tuil- moally that are HO from this business deal wan the Incentive for Host offer ing testimony damaging to Sinclair. The himband charges that Sinclair WIIH a washing machine factory agent , Helling districts , and that he came to the Champlln farm with ono district for Halo. Ho alleged that Mrs. Champ- llu WIIB HO Infatuated In Sinclair that shu later secured a divorce from her husband. The defense lu seeking to prove that Champlln did not love his wlfo and thai that IB the reason the divorce was secured. SAVED BUT HE NEEDS $38. Lacks Small Sum Required to Redeem Him and Send Him to Sweden. Thirty-eight dollarH IH nil that Is needed to redeem Axel Anderson from the county jail and send htm hack to his mother's homo In Sweden , says a Chicago dispatch. He sits In his cell -a confoHHcd forger n simple-heart ed Immigrant , only in yearn old , bin boyish face Innocent of all evidence of criminal tendencies. In dull patience ho waits for the money , though ho has as little Idea where It will come from us wild birds have of tomorrow's food. The boy committed a crime punish able by a penitentiary sentence , with hardly a coiiHclousness of the fault. Only the mercy of Judge Kerstan saved Hie guileless immigrant from ( ho penalty demanded by the law , which was suspended by the court upon condition ( hat he return to his fatherland. Hut he must bo able to pay his own passage before he IB re leased , and this problem Rooms too dllllcull for him to solve alone. Anderson said goodby to his mother in Ootoborg , a small Hoaeoust town In Sweden , last summer , and started off , rich In hope but poor in pence , for the promised land across the water. Ho landed In Now York In July and came directly to Chicago , where his sister. Htilda Anderson , lives. Ho soon was engaged to Jerome Plait , . ' 128 Dear born avenue , as houseman. The $2 a week paid for his service seemed to Axol a good beginning lo a successful career. Ho attended to his duties faithfully and once each week wont out to see his sister , Hul- da , who lives on South Central avenue. A little beer was needed to contribute to the homely hospitality which marked these reunions , anil Axel was usually sent out ( o buy It at neighbor ing saloons. Here he made acquaint ances which proved his undoing. The barroom loungers questioned Axel nnd learned that ho had access to all the documents of the employer. Then It was suggested to him that by UHlng one of Mr. Plntt's blank checks , unlimited money could be obtained. On a promise thai he would share In the profits , Axel was Instructed how to till out nnd Indorse the blanks. It may have been merely a vicious practical Joke on the young Swede , but the boy , his sense of honesty dimmed at the thought of riches , fol lowed the advice ami wrote a check to himself for $12.3fiO , carefully study ing his English wordbook to prevent misspelling. Then this was October 2i ! ho went to ( he Merchants Loan & Trust bank and presented the slip of paper. The lellor saw at once thai Ihe sig nature was forged , and Axel was turned over to the police and indicted for forgery. Despite the conclusive evidence , Judge Korsten declared It was a case for clemency. If the boy was to be sent to Jollet or Ponllac , Hie court said , he would emerge corrupted a graduate of a school of crime. Ac cordingly , it was decreed that Ander son must return homo. REASON FOR DILLON WALLACE'S RESTLESSNESS. WILL VISIT ALASKAN WILDS Explorer Is Now In Frozen Countrty West of Labrador , Which Land He Has Just Finished Crossing on His Wanderings. Now York , Nor. 25. When Dillon Wallace returns to Now York , next April , as ho Is expected to , he will take a brief rest , and then , It Is said , prepare a big expedition to visit the unexplored sections of Alaska. This Is the program Wallace laid out bo- forq ho started from Now York to cross Labrador. "Wallace has the explorer's fever , " said Alonzo G. Wallace , his personal friend , yesterday , "and If ho succeeds In crossing Labrador I have no doubt that ho will prepare to penetrate Alaska. "There Is n nunderlylng motive In the Wallace expedition that Is sad in tone. "Tho outside world does not know what that motive is , but the motive Is there just the same. It Is the propeller of the whole oxpcdttlon. Some years ago Wallace lost his wife , to whom ho was much attached , and whom ho can never got out of his life. From the moment she died , the restless spirit set In and Wallace has never found comfort except when on the trail to ward some now land. " When the neighbors hoar a boy howl when ho Is getting whipped , none of them are cold blooded enough to ex claim : "Well , they are bringing him up right.

[ From \Vetl ncmlny'R Karl Fairbanks and Bert Luke , the two Norfolk youtliH who were arrested last summer on the charge of arson , appeared In dlstrlcl court at Madison yesterday. The county attorney ac cepted a plea of guilty to the charge of attempting to burn n barn or stable , and the two youths wcro fined $25 and costs , each , which were promptly paid.

NOISES CAUSE CONSUMPTION. The Din of a Great City Said to Bring on "White Plague. " "Tin noises of a great cltv oumM- tuto one of the most prolific causes of cniiiiiimptlon and allied tubercuau dtst'S'POs" ' was the statement of I > r. Aivlfuld W. Harrington of the P. R. C. S. nnd specialist on lung dlseanes , in the University of Glasgow , on the occasion of his visit to Chicago yester- lay afternoon , says a Chicago dls- mtch. Dr. Harrlngon ( , In comn.inv A'ltli Dr. Thomas Orr of the san.r Instl- Mitlon Is making a tour of Ame.-icft tor the purpose of examining hosplla ! con- dltions on this side of the water His long familiarity with diseases of the lungs , his high standing In British medical circles and his wide knowl edge of the subject lend special Im portance to his utterances regarding the great white plague. "It IH u well-known fact , " said Dr. Harrington , "that city noises hnvo been n great factor In the production of nervous diseases and the excessive ly high tension of modern life. The rellex action of their effect on the lungs and other vital organs has , how * over , been overlooked. A nolso Is : i wound In embryo. It Is none the lest deadly because It Is a wound to the liner siiHceptlhllllles. Few people slop to consider the vital effect that n wound to the nerves causes. " Dr. Harrington referred to the dire ful effect on the brain of a single note played over nnd over on the violin or piano. "That , " said ho , "is your city noise. It lacks that element of variety which makes music uplifting. It makes for crime , for anaemic develop ment , for twisted Ideas , but It docs not have to go through ( hcso channels to make for disease. It makes direct ly for disease In tbo bodily organism. And more than any other organism of the body , it strikes the lungs. Catarrh , tuberculosis , every lung disease not directly traceable to cold and the weather , will , It Is my firm belief , find the basis of their origin in conditions directly traceable to the most dreadful of stimulants , city noises. " VIOLINIST WITH THE HEAVILY INSURED - SURED DIGITS ARRIVES. WOMEN BLOW KISSES AT HIM Each Finger is Insured for $5,000 and the Company Insuring Them Insists That They be Protected by a Muff , Lest Risk be Run. New York , Dec. 1. Jan Kubellk , violinist , was a passenger on the Ham burg-American liner Amerlha , which arrived at Hoboken late yesterday. There wore 200 excitable women wallIng - Ing lo smother him with greetings. All the German-speaking reporters In New York Interviewed him in the same breath , and a delegation of fifty- two rcpresentalives of twenty-five Bo hemian societies were assembled to cheer him. The young man blushed when the regiment of women danced about him , blowing kisses from the tips of their fingers. He was saved from their em braces by the ring of reporters forming - ing about him to learn all about his $50,000 digits and thumbs. The report was sprung from abroad that Kubellk insured each of his ten lingers and thumbs for $5,000 , Ihe lot for $50,000. Kubellk wore a great fur muff over the ten fingers. Ho says gloves do not keep the pinkies warm enough. Kubellk's manager said about the muff , thai the companies which had Insured his lingers insisted on his wearing It , as Ihey would t ko no chances on the uncertain protection afforded by gloves.

A physician points out that several fallacies are common with regard to the weight of the human body. The man who congratulates himself on bis gain of several pounds lu weight In n given period may have no cause for rejoicing , for he may bo under a delu sion. Very few persons , says the In vestigator , have any correct Idea of tbclr own weight. As a matter of fact , the weight of the body Is continu ally changing owing to Innumerable Influences. On a warm dny , after breakfast , a man will lose more than a third of a pound per hour. Seventy per cent of the body contains water , and Its weight varies conslnntly. The In ference to be drawn from the loss or gain of n pound or two may be mis trusted. Fluctuations of a few ounces are a sign that the body Is In n healthy i'lie < iroirlr. . There Is nothing easier to acquire than a fretful , complaining spirit. It Is n foolish habit to borrow trouble or meet It halfway. Cultivate a cheerful mind and heart , nnd much Imaginary trouble can be avoided. "It's " funny. "What's funny ? " That you can never tell whether a woman ban a good carriage till you have seen her walk. " Bxcbnnirc.
