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.

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.

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. . "

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. "

Boyd at Madison Yesterday.
[ From \Vetl ncmlny'R
Karl Fairbanks and Bert Luke , the
two Norfolk youtliH who were arrested

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.
The charge to which the boys pleaded
Is not a penitentiary offense. II will
be remembered thai Ihoro was con
siderable excitement In Norfolk last
summer over a number of mysterious
llres. Luke and Fairbanks were final
ly traced as the persons who set ono
lire In a Junction stable. FalrbankH

Continuance.
The case of Eugene Dletsc , charged
with shooting Bartie Elseffer on the
Elkhorn river lasl summer , with In
tent to do great bodily harm , came up
In district court yesterday and was
postponed , on petition of the defen
dant , until the next term of court.
The fact that there was some Irregu
larity In the present jury , on account
of the unnuling of the Tucker jury
law , aided in the continuance being
granted.
Diet7. , II will bo remembered , shol
and wounded young Elseffer while a
crowd of young men were swimming
In the river. Diet/ thought ho had a
right to shoot because the boys tres
passed on his land , though Elseffer
was not on Diet/ ' land at the time of
the shooting.

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

$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

Varying \\Vlnlil of the Uorty.
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
