If you don’t advertise at all, no desire is created. If you ad-

It is habit you want to produce—the habit of reading your ads,
coming to your store, buying your goods.
This is the only way to keep your merchandise continually on
the move.
Everybody has a habit of reading the Somerset County Star,
brought on by a desire to know the news. Take advantage of
this habit by giving the people your store news through its col-
umns.
When can we talk this over with you?

” AMERICAN AUDIENCES.
Men and Women and Their Effect
Upon Public Meetings.
American audiences are strangely
alike in some things and strangely dis-
similar in others. A good committee
will take as much pains in the ar
rangement of its audience as of its
speakers. An audience seated without
crowding is seldom enthusiastic. Nei:
ther is an audience whose hands ara
occupieg with bundles or umbrellas, an
audience largely composed of women
or an audience in a cold room. The
easiest audiences to address, the most
responsive and inspiring, are those
composed of men crowded and packed
together and warm.
Women naturally do not applaud or
cheer. They are by instinct more self
restrained in the public expression of
their emotions than men. Every public
speaker is complimented by their pres-
ence, knowing that their quiet word at
home is oftentimes more effective in
results than the most enthusiastic
shouting on the street corners by the
other sex. In a public meeting, how-
ever, the audience gets its cue from
those nearest the speaker. I remember
well two audiendes, both from the
same social class, both crowded, both
in large theaters and both largely at-
tended by women. One happened to be
in Colorado, one in Massachusetts. In
one meeting the orchestra was re-
served for women. In the other meet-
ing the men had the orchestra and the
women had the lower gallery and all
the boxes. In both cases the audiences
were entirely friendly to the speakers.
The second meeting was marked by
wild enthusiasm, the first one by re-
spectful attention. In the second case
the mass of men in the orchestra urged
on the speakers by continued applause.
In the first case the men in the galler-
ies who started to applaud were
checked because between them and
the speakers was a mass of absolutely
silent femininity in the orchesira. I do
not say that one meeting was less ef-
fective than the other, but the differ
ence in tae scrain on the speaker was
marked.— From “The Spellbinder,” by
Colonel Curtis Guild, Jr., in Secrib-
ner’s.
A Supreme Court Coincidence.
While in session the associate justices
of the United States supreme court are
seated on either side of the chief jus
tice, in’ the order of their commissions,
the oldest in commission on his right,
the next oldest on ‘his left; the third is
second on the right and the fourth sec-
ond on the left, and so on alternately,
the youngest in commission occupying
the seat on the extreme left.
When Justice Field was the senior
associate, this arrangement produced
this curious result: The names of the
justices on the right had but a single
syllable—Field, Gray, Brown and White
—while the names of those on the lefi
had two syllables—Harlan, Brewer.
Shiras and Peckham. All were mar:
ried, but no one of the justices on the
right had ever had any children, while
each of those on the left had both chil
dren and grandchildren. The color
were all on the right—Gray, Brown anc
White—while the left was colorless.—
Youth’s Companion.
No Influence Above.
In Dr. John Hall's time it was the
custom in his church to use the old
fashioned, simple hymns, and the sing
ing was congregational.
On one occasion William M. Evarts
discovered E. Delafield Smith, ther
corporation counsel of New York city
singing with all his heart and whis
pered to his friend:
“Why, there is Smith singing *I
want to be an angel!” 1 knew he want
ed to be district attorney, but I didn’
know he wanted te be an angel.”
The remark was repeated to Mr
Smith, and quick as a flash came the
retort:
“No, I have never mentioned the mat
ter to Evarts, knowing that he had nc
influence in that direction.”
Loading Satan Down,
“Lightning knocked the church stee
ple down.” some one said to Brothe
Dickey. “Yes; Satan’s eyes alway
flash fire when he sees a church stee
ple gwine up.” “And here's na colore
brother killed another at a camp meet
ing.” “Yes: Satan goes ter meetin
‘long wid de res’ er dem en sometime
shouts de loudes’.” “And a preache
was drowned in the river last week.
“Oh, yes; Satan's in de water too. H:
‘blecge ter go dar ter cool off.” “Si
you blame everything on Satan, [il
you?’ “Bless God!” was the reply
“Ain't dat what he’s fer?’ — Atlant:
Constitution.
Conspicuous Example,
“Women are belittled and made o
no account in every possible way,” ex
claimed the indignant head of the fam
ily. “Even the geographers willfull
and deliberately slight her. How man)
really important towns in this countr)
are named in honor of a woman?”
“Well, my dear,” said her husband
scratching his chin reflectively, ‘there's
Janesville, you know.”’—Chicago Frib

She—Oh, George, Friday, you know

He—Yes, 1 know it’s unlucky, but,
then, if our marriage doesn’t turn out
well we shall always have something
to blame it on.—Philadelphia Record.
Lift It High.
“Yo' kin allus tell er polite man,”

News.
A man who dares to waste an hour
of time has not learned the value of
life.—Charles Darwin.
Senator Elkins and the Jaekass.
Senator Elkins, of West Virginia, in
his young days was a railroad station
agent out west, his office being a box
car on a siding. He tells the story on
himself that one day in checking up a
car load of immigrants’ effects he
could not find a bureau called for by
the way bill. He was in possession,
howeverfof a vigorous young jackass
that was not down in the bill. So he
wired to the shipping agent:
“1 am short one bureau and long one
jackass.” .
The answer came back:
“You are O. K. That bureau was a
burro.” For the benefit of the eastern
tenderfoot, it may be explained that
the burro is a small pack animal of the
jackass species.

Dee. 30th.—Christmas is over, but
queer things will happen. Last Sunday
night there was a Christmas entertain-
ment at Dumas, Pa., and Messrs. Bruce
Nicklow and Ray Rishebarger, two of
our village sports, hired a horse and
sled and took their best girls to the
above named place. It being late
when they started, they did not arrive
until after the entertainment was over.
Then they turned and came back home,
and being very cold, the young men
hastily proceeded to put the horse in
Frank Shirer’s stable. While in there,
some one hit Nicklow with an ear of
corn, staggering him, then struck him
with a club. His partner took to his
heels, and the writer does not know
whether he has stopped yet.
Jasper Augustine, of Uniontown, is

Walter Miller, of Hyndman, one of
A. C. Hartzell’s toby rollers, has gone

his best girl. He will return about
January 2nd.
Lloyd Stark, who is employed in a
Uniontown restaurant, was a recent
visitor at the home of his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. John Stark. ;
Alvin McWhorters, an employe of
Hartzell’s toby factory, spent Christ-
mas at his home in Homestead, Pa.,
returning to Addison last Saturday.
Mrs. A. C. Hartzell was at Homestead
over Christmas, visiting her parents.
She returned home last Sunday.
Calvin Dean, of Somerfield, has pur-
chased the Endsley stone house in that
yillage and intends to apply for hotel
liquor license, the coming spring.
The coal boom still continues in this
vicinity. Wm. Miller has sold the vein
of coal that he has been working for
years, receiving the sum of $14,000 for
the same. He has reserved his fire-
clay and intends to open it for operation.
Jesse Liston has sold his coal for a
royalty of 5 cents per ton.
Charles Turney is opening a mine
near town that will prove to be good
coal. Besides, they are working several
other places for new veins.
Harry Spear, of Uniontown, was in
