Advertising.
Robert C. Ogden, managing part
ner of John Wanamaker's New
York store, gave au address last
Wednesday evening at the Sphinx
Club, New York, on the subject of
advertising, in which he declared
that the two essentials to business
success in this age were, first, to
know how to merchandise, and
second, to know how to advertise.
Attract attention. Get people to
your place of business. Study their
wants and tastes, and then cater to
them. Let them know that you
appreciate their trade.
Enlighten them. Tell them all
about what you have to sell. When
you have a bargain for them let
them know it. Do not hide your
bargains under a bushel, but an
nounce them with tinkling cymbals
and sounding brass.
A street fakir can come to town
and sell a car load of stuff on the
Public Suare that could be purchas
ed cheaper in one of our own stores.
Why ? Simply because he has studi
ed the art of attracting attention.
He iirst gets the people around
him, then he tells them what he
has and how cheap he will sell it.
The merchant wonders why they
don't buy this stuff of him. They
don't know he has it. They have
never thought about it. They have
not been invited.
Be honest. Do not make any
statements that are untrue. Do not
practice deception, but establish
yourself in the confidence of the
people.
Advertising isthebasis of growth.
Systematic, persistent and intelli
gent advertising is the first re
quisite of success.
The merchant who thinks that a
little money spent in advertising is
simply a little money wasted, is
too narrow-minded and too penu
rious to take delight in giving his
customers a bargain when he has
it. The up-to-date merchant knows
that his advertisement is as im
portant as his stock, and he gives
it just as much attention.
There is not a great merchant in
America to-day who, if asked the
secret of his success, cannot answer
in one word —Advertising.
Attract attention. I.et the people
know of your existence. Tell them
what you have and how cheap you
can sell it. Don't let the cobwebs
gather on you brain as well as on
your goods, and expect the people
to come around with a search war
rant to find out what you have and
how much you ask for it. When
you have something nice, sonic
thing new, something cheap, tell
the people about it. And the more
conspicuous you make it the better.
Make your name a household word.
When your competitor quits, take
advantake of the opportunity and
advertise stronger.
Death of H. R. Dodge.
We stop the press to announce the
death of 11. R. Dodge, of Four Mile,
last night, after a long illness and great
nuffering. The funeral will be held on
Friday, at two o'clock from M. E.
church. Interment in Newton ceme
tery.
Western Rebuke to Yellow Journal
ism and its Hypocrites.
The Chicago Tribune prints the fol
lowing bitter rebuke of yellow Journ
iliem:
Ay, turn your column rules, ye hypo
crites!
Smear the dead president with your
praise!
Pell of his courage and his manliness,
His gentleness, his unobtrusive ways,
His high and noble qualities! "Tis he
Who late with coarse abuse and vile
cartoon
And ribald jest to public execration
Ye held up what hath wrought a
change so soon?
30, take a front seat among the
mourners.,
You who of his latest breath
Made merchandise. Weep for him
now, ye knaves
Who hounded him to death.
President P.cKinley's Insurance.
Last week the New York Life In
surance Company paid to the estate of
.he late President McKinley, a cheek
"or fifty thousand dollars in payment
)f a policy for that amount issued to
:he President in 1896. Previous to
his 850,000 policy, Mr. McKinley had
;aken out with the New York Life,
pears before, one policy for §IO,OOO,
ivhich matured, and ou which the cash
surrender value was paid April 25th,
1893. Another for §3,000 matured, on
which the surrender value was paid
May 16, 1895.
It is twenty-two years since Mr.
McKinley first connected himself with
;he New York Life as a policy holder.
The New York Life has alsofpaid the
following insurances carried by some
if the Nation's chief executives: Ex-
President. James A. Garfield, §25,000;
iX'President Chester A. Arthur, §7,000;
jx-President Benjamin Harrison, $20,-
)00 and ex-Vice President Garret A.
Hobart, two policies for §55,000.
The Laws of the Presidential Suc
cession.
The number of inquires upon the sub
ject which have reached this office sug
gests the utility of an article conveying
some information on the subject or the
law of the Presidential succession. At
the time Garfield was shot and for some
years later the Presidential office phased
to the Vice President and from him to
the Speaker of the House of Represen
tatives, and further than that no provi
sion had been made. This was recog
nized to be a dangerous condition of af
fairs and in 1886, at the first session of
the Forty-ninth Congress, a law was
enacted which provided that the suc
cession should be from the Vice Presi
dent to the members of the Cabinet in
the following order:
Secretary of State.
Secretary of the Treasury.
Secretary of War.
Attorney General.
Postmaster General.
Secretary of the Navy.
Secretary of the Interior.
At the time this law was passed there
was no such officer as Secretary of Agri
culture, and whether the succession
would extend to him by construction is
a moot point. So far, however, as Sec
retary Wilson is concerned, it is im
material as he having been born an
alien, would be ineligible any how. It
has been asked what becomes of the
office of Vice President when its incum
bent succeeds to the Presidency ? The
answer is that it falls temporarily into
abeyance. There ceases to be any Vice
President. His only active function is
to preside over the deliberation of the
Senate and that funcrion devolves upon
the president of that body pro tem.,
who at this time is Senator William P.
Prye, of Maine —Philadelphia Inquirer.
McDonald-Kautz.
Mr. Daniel McDonald of Emporium,
and Miss Ethel M. Kautz of Beech
wood were joined in marriage at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Ferguson
on East Fifth street, Monday afternoon
last, by the Rev. O. S. Metzler minister
of the First Methodist Episcopal
church. Mr. McDonald is in the em
ploy of the Emporium Iron Company
and is a highly respected young man,
while MissKautz is one of Beech wood's
most estimable young ladies. Mr. and
Mrs. McDonald left on the flyer Tues
day morning for Buffalo and Niagara
Falls, and will enjoy the beauties of
the Pan-American. On their return
they will reside in Emporium.

i Free Mall Delivery in the Country.
"nradstreets" (Ind.).
Free mail delivery in the rural dis
tricts is one of the postal branch of the
Government now, and, judging from
some remarks made by the Postmaster
I General a day or two ago, the service
i will receive a notable extension in the
I near future. At a meeting of the State
Fair Association, at Concord, N. 11.,
| Mr. Smith said that the post office had
been carried to the doors of 31,000,000
of population who live in the cities
j and large towns of the United States,
| but that the large problem remains of
J carrying the mails to the doors of 21,-
j 000,000 Americans who live on the
j fartns. He recalled the fact that within
I the last two years the service had been
j extended over a territory larger than
that of all England. Before the fiscal
year is closed the service will have been
carried over 8000 routes, bringing the
post office to the doors of more than
6,000,000 iieople, and reaching one-third
of the population it is intended to furn
ish with the improved postal facilities.
This is making progress with celerity,
for, of course, the amour.t of territory
to be covered by the extension of free
delivery in the rural districts is a
weighty factor in the problem. It is
much easier to reach a million people
in thickly populated centers than a
tenth of that number in sparsely settled
districts.
BRIEF HENTION.
The Ladies oft he Presbyterian church
will serve the first oyster supper of the
season, Friday evoning, Oct. 11th, 1901.
The Sterling Run tannery will soon
be a thing of the past, a few days more
being required to complete the work.
The Thompson House, at Kane, has
been closed by the proprietors. That's
bad, and will be deeply deplored by
the public.

"No synopsis of the lecture could do

it would very materially increase the

was uot only highly interesting in it
self, but it was an excellent bit of
Shakespearian criticism."—Tribune,

The O eartteld Rifistnan's Journal
has discovered the fact that every sub
scriber on its book-i by the name of
"Johnston" pays cash promptly, and
concludes from this that the Johnston
family has a distinguishing trait of
character called honesty. The Journal
further says: A newspaper office is a
barometer to the intogrity of man.
Show me a man who pays his subscrip-
I tion to his family paper promptly and
; I will show you a man who can secure
a certificate of honesty from his neigh
j bors without any trouble. Show me a
j man who will receive statement after
; statement from the publisher of the
j paper, receive it, read it and never pay
i up his dues for the same and I will show
I you a man whose neighbors hesitate to
I sell him fl our or feed on hia promise to

; An up-to-date ecizzors grinder has
struck town. He came in on a bicycle
and the bicycle is his motive power for
his scissors grinder. The emory wheel
which does the work of sharpening
is fixed to the top of the diamond frame
and it connects by a belt to a wheel at
tached to the axle on the side opposite
: the bmall sprocket wheel. When the
• grinder wants to get to work on a dull
■ pair of scissors or a knife, he places an
• inverted V-shaped pair of iron rods
■ under the saddle support, thus raising
the rear wheel from the ground, and
1 straddling tbeseat he proceeds to grind
away. The job done he removes the
I supports, attaches them to the side ol
• the bicycle and rides onto find another
customer.—Bradford Star.
"(iod's Will Be Done."
With deepest founts of Love to drain
They could not stay the fleeting breath
The holts of science hurled in vain,
Fell harmless at the feat of Death.
A million prayers rose on high—
Yet hope went downward with the snn
As faintly came that farewell sigh:
"It is God's way—
His will be done !"
So passed a soldier brave and true;
So passed a clean and loyal soul.
The right he ever kept in view,
Anil pressed breast forward to the goal
This was a man—so loved, so wise !
And when his splendid race was run
In simple faith ho closed his eyes:
"It is God's way—
llis will be done!"

Don'ts For Fathers.
Do not expect your son to keep per
fectly quit for any length of time. You
could not do it when you were a boy.
Do not expect your son to confide
and trust in you if you do not meet him
half way.
Remember thero is no one on earth
who has a keener sense of right and
wrong than your boy. Remember also
that naughty, mischievious boys are
usually very clever and have the mak
ing of smart, reliable men.
Always keep your promises. If you
threaten to punish a boy the next time
he offends or disobeys, be sure to do it.
Remember your wife has had the
care of the children all day. Few men
realize the responsibility and unceas
ing labor in the care of children, the
long, weary hours with the babies, the
constant attention, the everlasting
patience necessary. Help her in the
evening with the boys.
"I am a firm believer in 'early to
bed,'for children," writes Mrs. M. E.
R. Alger, in "Good Housekeeping" for
August.
Do not spoil your children with luxu
ries. Plain food, plain clothes, are
what they should have. Silk dresses,
diamond rings, trips to the theater and
j opera in the evening, take the zest
away from your daughters when they
become young women.
Visits to your club, and the keeping
i of late hours, do not tend to make your
i sons either healthy or wise. They will
j know all about life before they are
j growu up. Keep both your daughters
' and sons amused and interested in
i childish things as long as possible;
! time enough for the care of life later
| on.—Ex.

Lead Thou me on:
The night is dark and I am far from

Lead Thou me on,
Keep Thou my feet; Ido not ask t©

The distant scene; one step enough for
me.
I was not ever thus, nor prayed that
Thou
Shouldst lead me on,
I loved to choose and see my path;
but now
Lead Thou me on;
I loved the garish day and, spite of
fears,
Pride ruled my way; remember not

So long Thy power has blessed me,
sure it still
Will lead me on.
