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 ab : e to write more conmc- ingly of the articles he of fers for salt. In a »tor« where the employer sella goods side by side with his clerks It is rare that the employer will not he the best salesman. Phe 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 sum ; knowledge of detail, would attract new customers if presented through the advertising col umns of this paper.

To erect a monument at the summit of South pass Mr. Meeker traveled eighty four miles from a postoliiee, and twenty four persons who reside In the neighborhood were the only witnesses to the historical event. These interest ed people, with Mr. Meeker, inscribed the ston<‘ themselves. It stands on the Irrigation survey near Sweetwater and Is 7,o-to feet above the sea level, proba bly the highest monument in the Unit ed States. In most of ihe towns and places where monuments have been erected Mr. Meeker stays to see the work done, but in some Instances he has turned the matter over to a local com mlttee appointed for that purpose. Mr. Meeker, accompanied by his granddaughter. Miss Bertha Temple ton, loft Puyallup, Wash., Jan, 29, 1906, and has made the trip by easy stages. His old fashioned prairie schooner Is fitted up for housekeeping, and In It he spends his days and nights as com fortably ns in ids own beautiful home In the western state.

He will reach Indianap olis in time for a f'hrlstinas dinner with friends of his boyhood. In ap pearance Ezra Meeker is the typical pioneer. He is tall and straight, not withstanding Ins seventy six years and his hard life on the plains. His hair and heard are white and long, making him conspicuous in any crowd. “The changes that have been made,” said the traveler, "are marvelous. No Imagination can conceive it 'Phe en tire face of tii(* country is changed. With the exception of about 900 miles through the Kooky mountains the coun try Is thickly settled, hut even in this country things are changed. The vege tatlon has changed. The old buffalo grass is no more, and other grasses ha\e come on to take Its place. The country I passed throng* more than fifty four years ago Is nothing like the country I am going over today. Moun tains, rivers, valleys, prairies, hills, all are different. It seems Impossible for me to realize that the vast wilderness we traveled over such a short time ago Is now built up with magnificent cities and villages, and the never endluj; prairies have been transformed Into great forests and elegant homesteads The increase in the number of forests Is wonderful to me We traveled days without seeing a tree, and now the en tire way almost is shady.” In Lincoln.

A housekeeper of St. Y.ouis has a great idea, says the I'olnmbiis dispatch. As everybody knows, different kinds of victuals require different times for cooking, and one of the bothers of a housekeeper's life is to remember when she puis on the different things and when they ought to come off. This wo man has an alarm clock, and after she >r she sets her alarm for es later, and when it goes >:• the rice is done. She rice, wiids up her alarm tor twenty U\o minutes, unices that the pens are ready. Th ■ pro. • i is rep • nod. and fifteen minutes later the alarm clock tells her and ti: ■ tie.abhors that the turkey OU 1 'hi to I a i e I ,e t of tile oven.

Some of her friends insinuate that it would be easier to remember to put on and tak > elT her victuals at the proper time than to spend half an hour a day winding up an alarm clock, but sb” says tint after setting her ap paratus she e m run upstairs and make up a bed or go out to the fence and talk with a I'ieiid without feeling the* slightest uneasiness while tho clock is on duty, and besides, she thinks, there are a great many unprogressive peo ple in tli” world who do not appreciate a hlallld tie idea v. hen llicv see 't.
