Thero Is something of tho owl In the
nature of Augustus Availing.
Ho remains wide nw.ako all night and
B'ctps when tho sun shines Augustus nlso
delights In being different In other things
For Instanco ho. doesn't bollovo in being
omplovcd by others. Ho Ilgtircs thnt It
nffects a man's Independence vvhon ho has
to do certain things at definite times and
argues that It's monotonous, to say tho
least
Augustus doesn't beilevo in doing nnv
thlug nt nny tlmo unless it'n something
picnsant But In nicler to adhere ti his
policy, however, ho found It mcess try to
go Into business fao ho formed tho tier
mantown nnd Chestnut HilM-'icsk Water
cress Suppl Company." He appointed
himself general manager and foreman and
attended to many details, doing all tho ,
work himself In tho way of collecting and
selling the goods Ho made all hlr lilies

in advance Ills shouts could be heard
for half a block before he reached each
stopping place After serving all his cus
tomers, ho was so happy that ho con
tinued shouting even when he had no
more goods to sell
Then Augustus wandered back to the
private watercress mine which ho discov
ered at the edge of a small rtrcam near
Coulter street and the Pennsylvania Jtnll
road. He intended to gather another crop,
but lay down to think It over. Then ho
tucked a cigar In his mouth ISeing alone.
It struck him as a good Idea to give his
vole? a little practice
"Watercress, five cents a bunch," were
the somewhat unsteady words which
floated over the railroad tracks "Get them
while they're hot." followed In rather vol
umlnous tones It was after midnight
Policeman Uyere, half a block away,
was startled There was no one nround
'to buy watercress except a homeless dog
Kven he barked his disapproval as ho
snuggled up In a stray soap box The cop
followed the noise and finally traced it to
the watercress mine, where he found Au
gustus lying on tho ground smoking and
yelling alternately. He hauled the mid
night salesman before Magistrate Pen
nock. Augustus said he simply wanted to be
different from others.
"You'll have to agree to sell your wures
In the day time," said the Judge, "or I'll
b4 obliged to give you an enforced

How

driver tisej
HOW shall the Church adver
tise? By the flaming, lurid
posters of the circus? By "bark
ers" stationed at the doors shout
ing the attractions to be found
within?
The kind of advertisement de
pends upon the kind of business to
be promoted. The business man
carefully chooses his advertising
medium. He knows that the ad
vertisement that is not read is
valueless. He proclaims his wares
in a fashion that will be noted.
The Church must take a leaf
from the book of successful busi
ness it must advertise in daily
newspapers read by church
people. The Public Ledger is
unique in this respect.
