TOWN PBOMOTION.
The flrst tbing to make a town trfrV' ^ to get tbe townspeople to work to spread tbe good reputation of ths town as a business and residence osnter. This Is fundamental, but it takss time to bring about results whlsh come so largely through men¬ tal attitude. Meanwhile towns that are ambitious for speedy advance- oMBt usually get out and hustle for ^ow manufacturing industries.
It is the teelihg of men witb ex¬ perience in board of trade work, that almost any town having reasonably good transportation facilities can get new industries, If It is willing to work for them. But many efforts of this kind are ill Judged.
Factories frequently move out into country towns to get cheap labor. If they do not require highly skilled ^,Jielp, the results may be good. If tbey do need skilled wbrk people, the experiment is dubious. If a concern Is aot adapted to the locality and has to move on, it hurts the reputa¬ tion of the town as a business center. The place Is worse off tban it was before the industry came.
Boards of trade commonly sub¬ scribe to press clipping bureaus, giv¬ ing news of concerns that contem¬ plate expansion. They follow lists of Incorporation of new companies, and tbey send letters and circulars to all such openings. They flnd plenty of companies that would like a new location, but many bf them are mere tramps that stay only while they get favors.
A concern that Is substantial and means business wlll usually pay its own way. It it wants a factory, it should either pay a moderate renta^ or pay installments on the value the building so as to acquire It In time. .k
If a committee of buainess men will make a systematic effort to flnd Industries worth securing, the thing san usually be done. Hundreds of letters may have to be written, to all kinds of possible chances, before one reply Is received worth considering. But olerk hire is not costly, and per- sktence wins out In the end.
New industries might come here if our business men had the persever¬ ance tp follow up the matter to a con¬ clusion. Too often, after circulars are sent out and a few letters wr,Jt- ten,* committee becomes discouraged and allows tho matter to drift. In thajt caae, the town that hangs on after bthers becomes disheartened 1^ tbe one that gets the new business.

A person perhaps fissla mors com¬ fortable if he never stops to think whether tbe aniatals around him are living comfortable lives or not. Alao he Is more popular amoflc certain classes of people. The story is told of a certain jouns woman who used lo warn drivers of horses that ther did hot cars for thetr, animals proper¬ ly. As a result, svery grocer's boy In the town made it a praetice to eraek his whip vloiently over tbe horse's head every time he aaw this earnest protasonlat of tbe dumb beasts.
But kindness to animals is a good cause. The American Humane So¬ ciety is planning a country wide ob¬ servance, having appointed May 23 as Humane Sunday, and the week be¬ fore is "Bftr^ind to Animals Week." These occHl^ions are well worth talk¬ ing about in day schools and Sunday schooLi.

THE "CABABET" FAD.
One of the most conspicuous crazes of metropolitan city lijfe for the past twp years has been the "cabaret"
_ ontertalnmentd at restaurants and hotels. As a form of public enter-
* tainment they have seemed Frenchy rather than American. They appear suited to the atmosphere of "Oay Paree," where the favorite entertain¬ ment is not drama or athletics, but. Bitting In the open-air boulevard res¬ taurants and watching the styles go by.
The appetite of modern society Is ' Jaded, and It demands Its constant novelties and spicy seasoning. Prob¬ ably the "cabarets" were popular at Iret because they seemed foreign and Frenchy. The public demand is sens- aous, and it calls for color and mo¬ tion and rag time and high kicking For the mass of tho people the exotic manners of New York City
' will not be necessary. Extraneous dl versions sbould not be essential to make a well served meal palaUble. It you aro with friends, the social converse of the hour should be enough. Otherwise, the human drama played at the tables about you ia cabaret enough. Fragments of con vsrsatlon, the study of faces and ob> sertratton of types, the speculation as
' to character and occupations, tb«9e alone make any public dining hall full of human Interest.

Change at Hippodrome.
The spectacular and diversified en¬ tertainment which is being given at the New York Hippodrome in con- Junction' with motion pictures de de luxe, underwent a complete change on Sunday.
A spectacular revival in tabloid form of Gilbert and Sullivan's famous operetta "The Gondoliers", is the principal featyre of the musical part of the program. This ia rendered by the permanent Hippodrome opera company lu fiPStume and the sym¬ phony orchestra.
The motjon picture part of the pro¬ me Includes the first prcsenta- on any screen of a picture play made from the novel by Agnes and Egerton Castle, whloh was the basis of the successful play "Sweet Kitty Bellairs" produced by David Belasco.

"It Pays to Adyertise."
- "It Pays to Advertise" Is one ht the brightest, best-acted and alto¬ gether enjoyable plays produced in New York these many seasons. "This excrutiatlngly funny faroe is rapidly approaching its SQOth performance at tbe Oep. M. Cohan Theatre and the fact that If is still attracting house-full audiences, forecasts the prediction that It wlll remain, at that very popular theatre throughout the entire summer. ^
In "It Pays to Advertise" the au- thore, Roi Cooper Megrue and Walter Hackett, have dramatized a phase that is known to every one who reads the newapapers or magazines and have done it very cleverly. They have written crisply and wittily of things tbat might happen to every day persons and in a way that every one can understand. There is nothing high-brow about "It Pays to Adver¬ tise"; neither isethere anything low¬ brow. But Just the same it is a very human and modt interesting farce that keeps Its audiences in a atate of nearly constant laughter all the time the curtaiin is up.
