Hi death occur red less than three hours after he had been dlschargd from St. Bernard's hospital on ordara from the commissioners on in sanity. Nothing was learned yesterday of Ham ilton'a movements from the time he was discharged from the hospital until he was found on the stairway at 419 West Broad way In the agony of death by William Frailer, an employe of the .- Manhattan restaurant, on the opposite side of the street. Fraxler's attention waa called to the man by the fact that he appeared to be In great suffering as he was swaying backward and forward on the steps. Fra iler crossed the street and tapping the ap parently alck man on the shoulder aald: "What' the matter, shall I, call a doc tort" , "I've taken strychnine, let me alone, ', don't want any doctor," was ' the man's reply. Frailer, realising that the man was In great agony started to telephone for doctor. By this time a small ' crowd had gathered and suddenly the man, who was sitting on about the ' fourth ' step from the bottom, slipped down cod lay at full length on the sidewalk. About thla time Dr. J. H. Gasson, who had been summond by Frailer, arrived on the acene and had the unfortunate man carried to his office just across the street. The usual remedies were at once applied, but the man died a few minutes after being taken to the office. On orders from Cor oner Treynor, who was summoned, the body waa removed to Cutler's undertaking rooms. Appeared to Bo national. When Dr. J. M. Baratow and H. V. Battey of the Board of Insanity called to examine Hamilton at tH hospital yester day he appeared perfectly rational, they aald. He explained his condition by stat ing that he used morphine In extreme quan tities, thirty grains In the morning and the aame dose at night. He told the commis sioners that ha waa a nurse and that he had accompanied a patient from Bt. Louis, whom he had turnod over to relatives In Omaha. He named two doctors In St. Louis for whom he aald he had worked, both doctors being known to Dr. Barstow. He stated that he had a friend In Omaha, named McMahon, a civil engineer, who had offices on Thirteenth atreet opposite the Bt. James hotel. When Dr. Baratow suggested to Hamilton that he atay a few days' In the hospital Hamilton declared that If he only got the small amount of morphine allowed htm In the hospital he would likely be there for two or three months. "You don't want to keep me here, and I don't want to stay here. I want to get back home to St. I-outs, where I will be "better off," raid Hamilton. Thla ended the Interview at the hospital and the commissioners left. Iater. while In session at the court house, the commis sioners telephoned to the hospital to In quire aa to Hamilton' condition. Attend ant Gallagher replied that the man was apparently In good condition, and accord ingly the commissioner ordered him dis charged. A bottle which Is believed to have con tained the strychnine taken by Hamilton waa picked up on the stairway where he sat down to die. There was no label on It to show where the unfortunate man had procured the poison and the police were unable to, ascertain. Coroner Treynor held a post mortem last evening, which proved that the man had taken strychnine. He decided that an In quest would be unnecessary. , S.SOO Barrels.

' - It is nearly all bad; but sometimes even bad adver tisements pay, which shows what a force advertising is. The better the copy, as a general rule, the. better the re sults. Good copy for one class of trade might be very poor copy for another. But there are a few broad general principles which are always true. Your advertisement should be attractive enough to catch the eye. Size doesn't do this. A two inch single column card may be made to attract more notice than aa announcement as big as a sheet of note paper. If your ad vertisement isn't seen it isn't read and if it isn' read no matter if. it has ten million circulation it isn't worth a. postage stamp. You are not investing in 'circulation but in readers of advertisements. " 1 The next point is to make your advertisement read-, able. As a rule the most readable copy is printed in fairly large book tj-pe; one kind of tje with a display heading or two and the reading matter divided into easy para graphs. Most advertisers think that by crowding the space to its utmost they are getting bigger value for their money. Within reasonable limits the very opposite is. true. Ten words read are worth more than ten thousand words looked at. If I were advertising a retail shop and I found that my advertising appropriation would allow me to take a two inch card daily in four newspapers I should multiply the two by four and take an eight inch card in one news paper. But the secret of copy is personality; red hot hustling life. Like breeds like. If your shop is a hustling go ahead concern and this spirit is reflected in your adver tising, the contagion will soon spread. The first hundred customers are the hardest to get; the second hundred come in about half the time; the third hundred are at tracted by the crowd. The full page announcement of the department stores overshadow the smaller dealer; but there is'opening up a great field in every big city for the attractive advertising of the smaller shop. This advertising must bo done in a new way; it must be pleasing, refined, convincing; it must appeal to the individual who loves quiet rather than noise; the very antithesis of the broad-side bargain adver tising so common in every newspaper. p. 8 Ta.Jc Nn. 10 will be pnhllsbed In The Bee nn March (Copyright 1908, by IP Spring Announcement loos We are bow displaying a most omplet line of lor.ign novel, weir. t"U- Tour early lnpectloa 1 In.
