Advertising is
some an art.
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

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.

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

welcomed by the president and uacfl
was presented to Mrs. Roosevelt.

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.

ernor B. B. Odell, Senator T. O. Platt,

FIREMEN FIGHT FIRE
OF BORNINO GREASE
Blaze In Lard Refinery of Swift
& Co.. 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.
Woman Slain by Lover, Who The*
Takes His Own Life.
"Pueblo, Colo., July 27.—Mrs. J. J
AfTler? was almost instantly killed by
a bullet from a revolver in the hana?
of her lover, John Anderson, who 1m
mediately afterwards shot himsell
through the heart.
Jealousy Is said to have been the j
cause of the double tragedy.
Neither party has relatives In the
city and both bodies were taken to the
morgue.
Cuthbert May Get Road.
Cuthbert. Ga., July 27.—It is ru
mored that when the Georgia, Flori
da and Alabama railroad begins its
extension northward from Cuthbert
will have Atlanta, instead of Blrming
ham, In view for its northern terminus
Under surh., this would give Atlanta
the shortest line to deep water, as
Carrabelle, on the gulf, the present
southern terminus. 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.
