WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, Nov. 12th, 1904.
Editor Preai:—
There are three roses on the
Roosevelt coat of arms. They are
not displayed as symbols of secrecy
as was the custom with the anc
ients for no man is more outspok
en and above board than the Presi
dent. The day after election the
leading business men of Washing
ton thronged the White House to
congratulate its occupant, and each
of them brought a rose, until Mr.
Roosevelt found his arms full—just
as four years ago great buuches of
carnations were given to President
McKinley. Among the callers on
Wednesday was the aged widow
of Gen. Anderson, of Fort Sumter
fame, with a big bunch of the
heraldic flowers in her hands.
The President hastened to her car
riage to save her the trouble of
alighting. The contrast between
the two was worthy of note. Mr.
Roosevelt could hardly have been
more than two years of age
when the husband of this woman
was heroically defending the fort
under his command. When your
correspondent first made the ac
quaintance of Mrs. Gen. Anderson,
she was a guest at Cranston's fain
one New York Hotel, which was
long since disappeared from Broad
way in the great city. Then she
was handsome, vivacious and in
the full vigor of middle life, with
dark hair and eyes. Now she is
gray, wan and feeble. These little
home incidents show in what esti
mation the President is held by his
neighbors.
The telegrams of congratulation
which have been poring into the
White House, over ten thousand
in number, are stacked up in piles
two feet high. The one which the
President says touched hitn the
most came from the widow of
Preident McKinley. Th» most re
markable telegram was from the
Emperor of Germany. The first
message of congratulation to arrive,
as early as half past eight o'clock,
came from Judge Parker! The
news of the Roosevelt landslide
came first to the President's ears
from one of his sons while he was
at dinner. The boy had been
watching lor the returns in the
Executive offices; lie outran the
messenger and burst into the din
ing room with, "Pop! You've
carried New York by a big ma
jority!"
Everywhere in Washington folks
are asking each other how it hap
pened? All admit that the Presi
dent's personality was one of the
most potent factors in winning the
election. He impresses all whom
becomes in contact, as being sin
cere, honest, purposeful, resource
ful and intelligent as well as gen
tlemanly. Besides these charact
eristics he lias the courage of his
convictions, and no man needs it
more than the President of the
United States, The day after the
election flags were displayed from
private houses in all parts of the
city; a general feeling of relief was
experienced that the great contest
has passed peacefully away with
out disturbing business of embit
tering sections. The coming in
auguration is now talked about,
and it is admitted that it will be
one of the largest and most im
pressive ever seen in Washington.
Word comes from Cleveland, Ohio,
of the purpose of a regiment in that
city to participate and your corres
pondent learns that a regiment
from Boston, which participated in
the September Manassas maneu
vers, will leave on a special train
March Ist. lilOo for this city.
Drove of Deer.
Harry Sprung, Bert Shoupe and
othera met a drove of ten deer, while
hunting at Dents Run. They captured
three deer and a doe.
A Woodchuck's Winter.
The woodchuek always gathers and
stores away food all the spring, sum
mer and autumn, but he stores it away
in his own body—in other words, he
eats it, says an exchange. And he
eate so moch that by fall he is as fat
as a pig. Then when he has dug for
himself a long winding borrow, and
made at the end of it a snug nest of
leavers or grass, all he has to do is to
block the entrance with earth and
leaves and curl up in his bed and sleep
until the spring, when he comes out
little more than a bag of bones.
Star Course Chart.
The chart for the Star Course series
of entertainmeata will open at Lloyd's
book store, Tuesday, Nov. 32, at 7 a. m.
Seats will be assigned in the order ap
plied for, but no person wil! be per
mitted to reserve more than six seats.
It will be the purpose of the manage
ment to treat all patrons with equal
snd absolute fairness and the fact that
all seats in the court room are for en
tertainment purposes most excellent,
should aliay any anxiety lest the ac
commodation desired be not secured.
Liberal Advertising.
How IT MADE A BUBY MART OF A
GRAVEYARD CORNER.
Plenty of thinking business men who
read of the successes of merchants in
cities realize that the foundation of
every successful merchandising proj
ect is printer's ink. Yet these same
business men—many of them—fail to
grasp the idea sufficiently to benefit
themselves. They either cannot write
an advertisement or think they can't,
or else they lack the nerve to invest
the money in newspaper space, circu
lars and other printed matter and are
unwilling to wait the results that are
sure to follow persisteut and consist
ent advertising methods.
We find in nearly every village plen
ty of business men who are willing to
invest in all sorts of outside specula
tions. They will take a throw at far
away mining ventures and stock spec
ulations. Promoters find it easy to in
terest them in most any kind of a
speculation that figures out a profit on
paper. Yet these same business men
will refuse to invest more than SSO,
SIOO or possibly S2OO yearly in print
er's ink. Many of them never spend
a dollar in advertising, yet they should
realize that there is no way in which
they might invest money to yield a
greater profit and no way more cer
tain to make money that to invest it
in newspaper space and other plans of
legitimate publicity wherein printer's
ink is employed.
These things are frequently brought
home to us, and in no way has the
success of a business been so forcibly
demonstrated to a community by the
judicious and liberal use of printer's
ink than in the upbuilding and success
ful conduct of the business of the Otta
wa Store company, that last week
closed a successful career of six and a
half years of merchandising in Ottawa.
Mr. D. D. Gayman, the owner of the
business, realized when he began busi
ness here in the spring of 18§8 that he
must invest money liberally in print
er's ink, and for the first two years he
spent $l5O a month in advertising—Ot
tawa (O.) Ciazette.
The Christmas Delineator.
The December Delineator, with its
message of good cheer and helpful
ness, will be welcomed to every home-
The fashion pages are unusually at
tractive, illustrating and describing the
very latest modes in a way to make their
constrution during the busv festive
season a pleasure instead of a task, and
the literary and pictorial features are
of rare excellence. A selection of
Love Songs from the Wagner Operas,
Rendered into English by Richard de
Galliene and beautifully illustrated in
colors by J. C. Leyendecker, occupies
a prominent place, and a chapter in
the composers' Series, relating the
romance of Wagner and Cosima, is an
interesting supplement to the lyrics.
A very clever paper entitled "The
Court Circles of the Republic," des
; cribes some unique phases of Washing
j ton social life is from an unnamed con
! tributor, who is said to write from the
inner circles of society. There are
short stories from the pens of P. Hop
kinson Smith, Robert Grant, Alice
Brown, Mary Stewart Cutting and El-
I more Elliott Peake, and such interest-
J ing writers as Julia Magruder, L.
Frank Baum and Grace MacGowan
Cooke hold the attention of the child
ren. Many Christmas suggestions are
given in needle work and the cookery
i pages are redolent of the Christmas
feast. In addition, there are the reg
ular departments»of the magazine,
! with many special articles on topies
I relating to woman's interests within
I and without the home.
"Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable."— WEBSTER.
EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1904.
BRIEF fIENTION.
A wreck at Huntley on Monday de
layed all trains.
The brick work on Geo. J.
new building is completed.
A good pastry cook can secure a per
manent position by applying at New
Warnor at once.
Don't forget the Bowling Match to
right at Jametf Creighton's bowling
room. Admission, 25c.
The next foot ball game will be be
tween Ridgway and Emporium, Nov.
26th. Remember the date.
One thousand voters in Lycoming
county, like many in Cameron, placed
the X in the Presidential Elector box.
Numerous parties are laying stone
walks in front of their properties.
Hemlock walks are rapidly disappear
ing.
Harry Johnson was killed at Ridg
way on Saturday while attemptiog to
jump on a freight traiD. It is a won
der more boys are not killed or maim
ed for life. Hardly a train passes Em
porium without a number of town
boys jumping it.
Sig. Sautelle has sold his circus to J.
T. McCaddon. Sautelle named his
own price, which was somewhere in
the neighborhood of SIOO,OOO. The
property will be transferred to Paris
where he will establish a permanent
American circus.
The borough authorities should see
to it that refuse matter such as potato
pealings, dishwater, tin cans, etc., are
not thrown on onr public thorough
fares. We are sorry to say this is be
ing done in some parts of town and
is extremely dangerous to the health
of the community.
Every department of the Renovo
shops is rushed with orders and in
order to keep up with the unusual
activity many of the employees are
working 13 hours per day. It is a
common sight to see the men return
ing home at 10 o'clock at night, and
some of them have even had to work
all night to hurry particularly pressing
work.
Charle3 M. Schwab: I am positive
that business will now show an im
provement. Politics has been playing
a very significant figure in the past
two years in all branches of trade. I
am unable to ascribe any definite rea
son for the fact, business men have
been somewhat worried concerning
the recant election. Consumers hold
orders in abeyance. But now that the
question has been satisfactorily ad
justed, I anticipate a great revival in
business."
An exchange condenses a whole lot
of truth into the following paragraph:
There is only one way to advertise and
that is to hammer your name, your
business and your location constantly,
so persistently and so thoroughly into
the prople's heads that if th3y walked
in their sleep they would constantly
turn their faces towards your store.
The newspaper is your best friend in
spite of your criticism. It helps to
build up the community that supports
you. When the day comes that the
newspapers are dead the people are
near the edge of the grave, with no
one to write their epitaph or say nice
things about them.
Senator Sisson.
The Erie Times lias these happy
words to say of Senator Sisson, hus
band of former Miss Lena Spencer,
niece of Mrs. Laura Bryan:
"The people showed their faith in
Senator Sisson yesterday by giving
him the finest kind of an endorsement
lin both city and county. He has made
I such a faithful official in every public
i position he has held that our people
could not have thought of doing any
thing else than return him by a rous
i ing majority. Of all the members of
j the state senator none stood higher
than did Senator Sisson. He was rec
! ognized there as one of the most re
liable and conscientious as well as one
of the most untiring workers. During
! the term to which he was elected
yesterday the senator will play a still
more important part in the legislation
iof the state and he will be In a posi
-1 tion to accomplish much more for this
city than during his first term. Erie
: could send no better citizen to repre
sent her in the senate of Pennsylvania
than A E. Sisson."

Don't Be a Knocker.
The American Printer gives this bit
of advice to persons who are full of
bile:
If your neighbor is prosperous, let
him prosper. Don't grunt, growl, or
grumble. Say a good word for him
and letitgo atthat. Don't be a knocker
Your turn will come. No man is the
whole show. It you see the town is
moving along nicely, feel good about
it. Help things along. Shove a little.
Push. Try and get some of the benefit
yourself. Don't stand around like a
chilly old cadaver. Don't waste your
time feeling sore because some fellow
ha? a little more sand and sense than
you have. Do a little hustling your
self. Don't be a knocker.
If you can say a good word, say it
like a prince. If you are full of bile and
disposed to say something mean, keep
your mouth shut. Don't be a knocker.
No man ever made a dollar knocking.,
No man ever got rich or happy minding
everybody's business but his own. No
man ever helped himself up perma
nently by knocking his neighbor down.
Give up a kind word. Give it liberally.
It won't cost you a cent and you may
want one yourself some day. You may
have thousands to-day and next year
be without the price of a shave. So
don't be a knocker. You cau't afford
it. It won't pay. There's nothing in
it. If you want to throw something at
somebody, throw cologne. Or roses.
Don't throw brick-bata. Or mud
Don't be a knocker. If you must kick,
go around behind the barn and take a
good kick at yourself. For if you feel
that way, you're the man that needs
kicking. But, whatever you do, don't
be a knocker.
If there is a chance to boom business,
boom it. Don't be a knocker. Don't
pull a long face. Hope a bit. Get a
smile on you. Hold up your head.
Get a hold with both hands. Then pull.
Bury your hatchet. Drop your toma
hawk. Hide your little hammer. When
a stranger drops in tell him this is the
greatest town on earth. It is. Don't
get mulish. Don't roast. Be jolly.
Get popular. It's dead easy. Help
yourself along. Push your friend with
you. Soon you'll have a whole proces
sion. Be a good fellow.
No man ever got rich trying to make
people believe that he was the only
good man on earth. You can't climb
the ladder of fame by stepping on other
people's corns. They're their corns;
not yours Then they're tender. Keep
off the corns.
All men are not alike. Once in a
while you may find one who is very
much alike. But some are different.
| You're not the only shirt in the wash,
i If you don't like their style let 'em
I alone. Don't knock. You'll get used
I to it. There's no end of fun in mind
ing your own business. And it makes
| other people like you better. Bettor
! have others get stuck on 30U than get
stuck on yourself. Nobody gets stuck
on a knocker. Don't be one. Be good.

HUNTERS SHOULD MEED THE
FOLLOWING GAME LAWS.
We may expect to hear of some

heroes to burn at the close of the sea
son, doubtless. But, to start with the
hunting will be of the milder sort.
