A tvorriin who was riding uptown on a Broadway car the other afternoon proved her possession of at least a modicum of wit. When the conductor passed up the aisle on his quest for fares she handed him a quarter, he giv ing her in return two lo-ccnt pieces. On his return from the forward end of tho car, she said: Conductor, one of tlic?c dimes is a Canadian piece, and I will thank von to give 111c another piece of money for The conductor evidently had receiv ed his training on nn East Side route, for he immediately began to bluster. "What's that matter with il? Ain't that good enough money?" he demand- eu. The woman quietly said, "I would prefrr American money, if you please." "Well, I wish I had a thousand of "cm!" grumbled the conductor, but he made no motion to comply with her re quest. f "V"ry well," was the instant reply. "I will give you this one to start your collection." The laugh that greeted this thrust was even too much for the Hibern an wit of the conductor, and ho quickly fished out another dime ami then made his escape to the rear platform.

"When a tidy looking girl seeks work in the holiday season," said the cmnloy- . mcnt superintendent of a big store, she is not turned away because there i is no vacancy in the department she wants to get into or because she is a ! flat failure in that department after one ! day's trial. Not one girl in five can wrap a small parcel so that it is fit to be taken out of the store. A customer gets sore if she has to carry a parcel that looks as though it 1ms been wrap ped up by a girl with nothing but a thumb on each hand. But some sales girls, as well as some men, cannot lie the string straight to save their skin.-s. "One of these clumsy unfortunates that the floorwalker wanted discharged I put into the toy department. - Well, what that girl did not know about toys wasn't worth inquiring. She just jumped right into the business and didn't want to stop for lunch. Her first day's sales cinches hsr job so long as she wants it. Another girl, who was so foolish that she cried over her blun ders at the cut-glass counter, made a howling success when ws sent her to sell books. Cash girls?

The turkey was a particularly large and fine one, and with a flourish of the carving knife and fork, Mr. Ferguson was about to attack it, when one of the guests observed: "I am a member of the Audubon Society, and opposed, as a rule, to the slaughter of birf, but I am always willing to make an exception in the case of a bird like this." "How about English sparraws?" ask ed Mr. Ferguson, casually. "Well, I make an exception of their case', too. The English sparrow is the enemy of other birds. It has driven away from my home nearly every bird I love. It is a feathered nuisance. It is a national calamity. I would exter minate it if I could, for the benefit of our native songbirds." "Then it's all right," said Mr. Fergu son, attacking the fowl with renewed vigor, "The turkey is stuffed with Eng lish spa'rrows." Miss Qannorj.

SCOTT, of t'.:e Northwestern University. mn .issfUJ, in. rrimitivo - i peoples curry on but llitlo V I business, and crude forms -"- of advertising are Kiilliclcnt bttfl 'lfrt. to stimulate the possible tiuui'. it lins been but n few centuries Blneo the market place was the. centre of business. Here the goods were dis played, and nothing more was needed than a crier to cull attention to spe cial features. Tho buyer examined the goods, and no description was neces sary. The method was cumbersome, but nothing better hud been thought of. T.'ndcr such circumstances It was possible to mnkc but few purchase or sales within a single day. With the advancements of Industry new forms of barter have been de manded. These new forms have brought new methods of presenting the merchandise to the customers. The discovery of the printing press ond the subsequent Improvements in press work hnve opened up new possibilities to tho advertiser. The merchant is able to carry on business with multi tudes, where formerly bo could deal only vitb the individual. Instead of displaying bis goods he is forced to de pend upon mere printed representa tions. From the very nature of the ease, descriptions urn less effective than a personal examination. Compe tition has become keener, and It has thus forced tho business man to pay more attention to bis advertising cam paigns. The cost of advertising has increased, till now It is a most hazard ous undertaking to attempt to compete for the attention of the public. This necessity for advertising with the at tendant expense and possibility of failure has caused the advertisers to seek for some sure principles upon which advertising may bo founded. During the lust ten years the lead ing advertising journals have con tained editorials and leading articles, In which the need has been described and the hope expressed thatpsychology, when rightly interpreted, would be to advertising what physiology has been to medicine,' and what chemistry, phy sics and mathematics have been to cer tain forms of manufacturing. Exited by acate ci.it.. lu a few cases professional advertis ers attempted to give the psychological explanation for certain successes and failures In advertising, but none of them attempted to present the subject In n systematic way. A few profes sional psychologists carried on psy chological Investigations which bud a relation to advertising, but their en deavors were short lived. It became evident that neither the advertiser nor the psychologist, while working alone, would bo able to apply the principles and methods of psychology to the prac ticed task of the advertNer. lo over come this (lilli'-uliy of independent la bor the Agate Club, of Chicago, organ -.zed a nlan of united effort. The Agnte Club is composed of some of the lead lug ndvertlsers of America. These ceutlcmen. through a committee of lUeif members, united with the profes sional psychologists of a neighboring university in a systematic attempt to construct a practical system of. psy chology and to base upon It the theory of advertising. The advertiser does nothing In which be does not attempt to Iniluonee the minds of possible customers. The psychologist seeks to explain the work ing of the minds of these same custom ers. It would therefore be very strange If tho labors of the psycholo gists should be worthless to the adver tiser. As taught to day psychology Is Intensely practical, and is nothing more than a systematic attempt to un derstand tho working of these minds of ours. In reviewing the teachings of all the great psychologists it baa been found that there are certain principles and methods which have a decided Import ance for the advertiser, for they help him to understand tho working of the minds of the very Individuals whom he Is attempting to Influence. These practical principles have been gleaned from different psychologists and pre sented In such a manner that they can be understood by the ordinary busi ness man. It Is found that these prin ciples hnve a practical bearing upon the construction of copy, the choice of styles of type and Illustrations, the se lecting of media and the placing of the advertisement. One of the distinct advancements of recent psychologist is the discov ery of Improved methods of Investiga tion. These methods, which have found universal approval among men of science, are applicable to the work of the advertiser. By mean of these methods the value of certain classes of advertisements can be discovered, and thus the poorer advertisements eliminated and the better one re tallied. It ha been found that suc cessful advertisement are those which awaken the desired mental activity by following the plan which might be deduced from a knowledge of the gen eral principles of psychology. SIX ESSENTIAL ItULES. In the discussion of the methods of attracting attention the six following rule were presented which are quoted from Mahlln's Magazine and also from The Theory of Advertising, a volume from the press of Small, Maynard & Co., Cambrldgo, Mass.: "The power of any object to force Itself Into our attention depend on the sbsence of counter attractions." This Is one reason why a full-page advertisement Is more than twice as effective a a half-page advertisement. It also shows the wisdom of concen 'jratlon lu a single advertisement and the folly of attempting to attract the atteutlon of many things at once by displaying many features In a single advertisement. "The power of any object to attract our atteutlon depends on the Intensity of the sensation aroused." This shows the wisdom of nstng cer tain attractive colors, moving objects, etc., and of placing the advertisement where It will fall within the direct gas of tbs eye sad make tho strong est possible linpretslon. "The power which any object lias to attract our attention, or its atten tion value, depends on the piihp with w hich we are able to comprehend II." Wo turn our attention tvost readily to those things which speak to us In terms that we can understand with tho least possible effort. This gives one reason for making legibility the chleT standard In choos ing types. It condemns irrelevant dis plays, whether In type or Illustration It shows the folly of choosing name for goods which In no way suggest the nature of the goods, or which do not have some striking characteristic. "The attention value of an object depends on the number of times It comes before us. or on repetition." Repetition gives an accumulative force to advertisements. An adver tisement seen ten times is probably more than ten times us effective n the same advertisement if seen but once. This does not contradict, tho other principle: The attention value of an obji-ct de pend.! upon the contrast It forms to the object presented with it, preced ing or following it." Many adveniseiii"iits repeat just i enough of the text or display to iden tify each otic of a serli and yet each advertisement is in the fa!u different from all others, and stands contrasted with the others of the series by the mere presence of the similarities as well as by ihe difference. Some char acteristic feature, even If nothing more than a trade murk, can tlun be con stantly rcpniicd in such a maimer that It serves to give unity to the series which would otherwise have no appar. cut connection. Ilcpctltlon nud con trast can both ho secured at the same lime. "The attention value of an object d". pends on the Intensity of tilt foclim; aroused." In general. It Is to the iutcresl'of the advertiser to awaken the more pleas ing feelings nud emotions. To !o tlili It is not necessary to descend to the ri. diculous or to make use of Irrelevant words or pictures. The work of tin real artist Is necessary here, and the successful advertisi-imut writer must be a true artist. Tills barest ouiiiue in tic way l'i 1 which attention was treated s'.iows in presenting tho various principles m' psychology and in Indicating their re latlon to advertising.
