If it be an art it is the art of telling a story simply and convincingly. Nobody knows more about the strong qualities of an establishment than the proprietor who oversees it. Other things being equal, nobody should be able to write more convinc ingly of the articles he of fers for sale. In a (tore where the employer aella goods tide by side with his clerks it is me thst the employer will not be the best salesman. The reason is simple. He knows the goods from A to Z. He probably has pur chased them. He knows his aims. His arguments carry weight because they are convincing. The same arguments pre sented in the same way, with the same enthusiastic spirit, the same knowledge of detail, would attract new customers if presented through the advertising col umns of this paper. If yon have not triad it, why not begin ? If yon have tried it and are not Mil* Sad, let us know about it l ROOSEVELT NOTIFIED OF HIS NOMINATION Formal Ceremonies Occur at Sagamore Hill. WAS SIMPLF IN ITS CHARACTER Notification of Action of Convention Made on Behalf of Committee Rep resenting Every State and Territory In the United States. Oyster Bay, L. I., July 27.—'President Roosevelt was notified formally today of his nomination for the presidency by the national Republican convention. The ceremony took place at his coun try home at Sagamore Hill, 3 miles from this village. In accordance with the wish of the president, the cere mony was made as simple as possible. The formal notification of the ac tion of the convention was made on behalf of a committe representing every state and territory in the United States, by Joseph G. Cannon, speaker of the house of representatives. The day opened with ideal weather, and arrangements for the ceremony were completed at an early hour. The PRESIDENT ROOHFVEI.T. [From a nuw photograph.] wide veranda of the house at Saga more Hill, extending almost entirely around the house, was deeorated with American ilags from pillar to pillar. In addition many houses in the neighborhood of the Roosevelt home and in Oyster Bay were draped with the national colors. Across the main street of the village there hung a large Roosevelt and Fairbanks banner. The special train bearing the mem bers of the notification committee and the invited guests left Long Island City at 10:32 and arrived here at 11:35 o’clock. Only three of the membera of the committee were were absent They were James M. Coombes, of Flor ida; Senator Chauncey M. Depew, of New York, who Is in Europe, and Senator Clarence D. Clarke, of Wyo ming. Included among the invited guests were men prominent in all walks of life. Among them were personal and political friends of the president in New York state., life-long friends and neighbors of Long Island, Including the pastors of the Oyster Bay churches and the officials of the na tional and New r York state Republican organizations. Those present num bered about 125. It was necessary to limit the number on account of the isolation of Sagamore Hill and the lack of facilities for the accommodation of a larger assemblage. On arrival at Sagamore Hill the committeemen wers received by President Roosevelt, Mrs. Roosevelt and National Chairman George H. Cortolyou. All of the house guests of the president were gathered on the veranda and as the occupants of each carriage alighted- they werfl welcomed by the president and uacfl was presented to Mrs. Roosevelt. At the conclusion of tlfe Informal re ception the ceremony of notification began. While the members of the family, the house guest* and some of the distinguished visitors were assem bled on the veranda, a majority of those in attendance gathered on the lawn facing the veranda. When Speaker Cannon rose to deliv er his speech of notification, he was greeted with applause. At the close of Mr. Cannon’s address the president advanced to the veranda railing and standing under a great fes toon of American flags, delivered his address In response to the notifica tion. As ho faced the assemblage he was warmly applauded. At the concluion of the addresses President Roosevelt held an informal reception and received the congratula tions of the committeemen on his speech. Among the Invited guests were Chairman George B. Cortelyou, Gov ernor B. B. Odell, Senator T. O. Platt, Senator John Kean., of New Jersey; former Secretary Elihu Root, Corne- lias H. Blim* and former Governor Frank S. Black.

Chicago. TIERCES OF LARD EXPLODE Blazing Grease Scattered In Every Di rection—All Available Fire Engines In Stock Yards District Called Into Service. Chicago, July 27.—Fire broke out among the packing houses in the stock yards today in the lard refinery of Swift & Co* and soon gained such headway that every available fire en gine in the stock yards district was called out. Rumors of incendiarism were rife. Examination, however, apparently showed the cause of the blaze to have been an overheated dynamo. The building, 150x250 feet, and three stories high, was filled with tierces of lard, many of which exploded spread ing the burning grease in every direc tion. Louis F. Swift was on the ground and directed the firemen in their at tempts to reach the blaze. The fire men were hampered in going into ac tion by numbers of cattle and sheep, which were being driven along Ex change avenue, the main thoroughfare of the stock yards. The fire threatened a mimber of buildings nearby, but the firemen man- age dto keep the flames from spread ing. FEAR DROVE HIM MAD. Strange Experience Foreman Gang of Pipe Layers. Derby, Conn., July 27.—The terrible fear of the unseen, inherent inhumani ty came upon James Barrett and drove him mad as he lay in a 24-inch' water main 300 feet from its mouth. Barrett was foreman of a gang of pipe layers engaged In laying 1.000 feet of G4-ineh main pipe from Beaver lake to the Beaver reservoir, in course of construction between Derby an Ansonia. Barrett though tired mentally and physically decided to inspect the joints in the pipe from the inside. Working himself forward on his stomach he succeeded in reaching a point about 300 feet from the opening, where he halted to rest. He was instantly in darkness and the pipe, coated with a clammy moisture, was cold. Not a sound from the street above reached him. For an- hour his workmen waited for his return. Then fearing something had happened to him, one of them started through the pipe. Three hun dred feet in the pipe the workman touched the shoes of the unfortunate foreman. Barrett, his clothing twist ed and torn, lay unconscious. By a rope attached to his feet he was hauled to the street Five min utes later, with a physician bending over him, Barrett became conscious only to leap to his feet and attempt to throttle those nearest him. It took 18 men to restrain the madman. There is little hope of his mental re covery. WASHINGTON’S ELM. Historic Tree at Morristown, N. J, Falls Under Ax. Morristown, N. J., July 27.—^Wash ington’s elm, a famous old tree which has stood at the corner of Elm and Morris streets for more than, a century and three quarters* has been cut down. Washington had his headquarters h^re during the winter of 1776-80. Al that time there was talk of cutting down the tree, but on account of iti beauty and great age Washington pro vailed upon the owner to leave il standing. Since then It has been famous aa Washington’s Elm, and has been pro bected In every possible way. When LaFayette came to Morristown in th« early part of the nineteenth century, he visited this historical tree anff made a short address under its spreading branches. DOUBLE TRAGEDY.

Is only lf»6 miles from Cuthbert. Keep Trying. If boys should get discouraged, At lessons or at work, And say. “There’s no use trying,” And all hard tasks shirk. And keep on shirking, shirking, Till the boy became a man. I wonder what tin world would do To carry out his plan? The coward in the conflict Gives up at first defeat; If once repulsed, his courage Lies shattered at his feet. The brave heart wins the battle, Because through thick and thin. He’ll not give up as conquered— He fights, and fights to win. So. boys, don’t get disheartened Because at first you fail; If you keep on trying, At last you will prevail; Be stubborn against failure, Try, try, and try again; The boys who keep on trying Have made the world’s best men. —Selected. A woman is seldom as strict with her children as she is with her hus band. Safeguard the Children. Notwithstanding all that is done by boards of health and charitably in clined persons, the death rate among small children is very high during the hot weather of the summer months in the large cities. There is not probably one case of bowel com plaint in a hundred, however, that could not be cured by the timely use of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
