Advertising Don't Sell Goods.

Merchants frequently complain
that advertising don't pay. Some
of them overlook the fact that the
mission of advertising is not to sell
goods but simply to attract re-
spective buyers to places of bust
ness. This it invariably does when
properly handled.
After the customer has been
brought to the door it remains for
the merchant to do the rest. The
failure to produce results and TO re
tain trade, is not in the advertising
but is due to a number of things
that are frequently overlooked.
The goods must back up the an
nouncement. The store must be
clean and attractive and the treat
ment courteous and attentive. A
travelling man related the other
day the following scrap of eX-
periences which is worth reading.
1t indicates a very good reason why
the hardware mans advertising
didn't pay.

THE CIRCUIT JUDGESHIP

1t came as a surprise when the
announcement was made in Mil
waukee paper on last Saturday that
Mr.. T. L. Cleary had decided to be-
come a candidate for Circuit Judge
against Judge Clementson. It was
not before supposed that Mr.. Cleary
had am bition for judicial prefer
ment. His congenial element has
been politics. He has always been
a partizan-sometimes a bitter one.
He has never manifested the judicial
temperament. In 1904 he made a
strong effort to obtain the Demo
cratic nomination for congressman
from this district, but because many
of the delegates to the Viroqua con-
vention from counties in this circuit
refused to support him he failed of
the nomination.
Judge Clementson has never
asplred to political office. He never
held an office before he was Circuit
Judge except that for two terms he
was district attorney of Grant Coup
ty and twice Mayor of Lancaster
He has never been a partizan. No
one can truthfully say that while
on the bench he has for a moment
considered what was the politics Of
an attorney or a party. He has
been fearless judge, deciding al
ways according to his convictions
of right; never being swayed by the
consideration of what was the
popular decision to make. No one
can be judge and decide cases
without causing some d1ssatisfact-
ion. One side in a case is always
beaten, and defeated party is
liable to condemn the judge, 1t is
this feeling, presented in magnifed
form to Mr.. Cleary, that has, no

doubt, had much to do with causing
him to enter into this contest. He
will discover that it will not YIELD
many votes. The people know
that Judge Clementson has been an
upright, painstaking and efficient
judge and a saving one to the tax
payers. His courts have been con-
Quoted with view to the dispatch
OF business. There has been no
waste of time in court at the ex-
pense of the people. We are con-
fident that comparison between
this and the othercircuits of the state
will show that more business is done
in the courts of this circuit in the
same time than in any other circuit
Of the state, and that, as a con-
sequence, the cost to the taxpayers
of the counties of this circuit is,
proportional to the work done, less
than in any other. This is fact to
which the voters will give consider
alton.
It'll was not supposed at the time
nomination papers were circulated
for judge Clementson that there
would be any opposition to him, SO
effort was not made to get large
number of signatures to them.
Wherever they were circulated they
were freely signed by farmers, bust
ness men and professional men.
Four-ffths of the attorneys of the
circuit signed them as well as the
county officers of each county In the
circuit, and all the members of the
County Board of Lafayette County
when it was in session in January.
Enough Of these papers to nominate
Judge Clementson several tim
over were f @ tins week with the

The ':early hour" cinch club met
with Mrs. r. n. TrentZsch Tuesday
evening. The meeting on this occa-
sion was to celebrate the birthday of
Geo. Washington. Each member took
a covered dish containing something
for the banquet. The dining room
was beautifully decorated in bunting
of the national cOlors and hatchets.
The soft radiance shed by the candles
displayed a feast that was indeed fit
for "kings and princes" There we're
sixteen covers; the place cards were
hatchets in blue and buff tied with
ribbon Of the national colors. And
we doubt if Geo. Washington himself
ever sat at a table upon which we're so
many good things to eat.

Man and Woman Arrested.

New York, July 20.-A handsome
young woman, silk gOwned, blonde, and
giving evidence of good breeding, who
gave her name as Elizabeth McBetty, 20
years old, of 25S west Forty. tth street,
and man Of good appearance describ-
ing bimseli as Alfred King, a book
maker, 81 years old, living at the Hotel
Cadillac, were taken int9 custody last
night by the police, and are being held
as suspicious characters. While the de-
tectiye bureau is singularly reticent in
regard to the prisoners, it is generally
understood that they have been arrested
10 connection with the alleged theft OF
$50, 900 worth of jewelry from Mrs.
Haley COrwin, which was reported yes
lerday. 1t is expected that the prison.
ers will be arraigned in the Centre street
police court today and that the facts in
regard to the robbery will then come out.
Mrs. McBetty is said to be the runaway
wife of millionaire living 10 Riverside,
California. Il is stated that she came
to- New York about two years ago. and
has known Mrs. COrwin for about six
months. King is said by the police to
be the husband of May Bonner, a motor
ious badger woman who deserted King
to become the mistress OF big" Cleve-
land, bank burglar. Mrs. McBetty
and King were arraigned before Magis.

Brutal Treatment of zulus.

London, July 20.-Ths brutal treat
ment of Zulns by white soldiers during
the war which has been in progress in
Natal has been the subject of 80 much
comment recently that the matter may
lead to q serious alteration between the
home government and Natal. Several
non-conformist liberal members of par
lament are demanding that the govern
ment shall take the matter up and COM
pei the punishment of officers who have
permitted the burning of krsals or native
villages aud the looting which it is
charged has marked the fighting as well
as other crimes. The Natal authorities
are very sensitive of the subject and
they are slresdy declaring that if the
imperial government interferes its action
will stretch the loyalty OF Natal to the
empire dangerously near the breaking
point. The whole subject of why the
Natal government is fighting the Zulus
is now being infinitely examined as the
result of the agitation over the reported
cruelties practiced upon natives there.
The charge is made that Natal really
began the war at the instance of mine
owners to compel the Zulus to work in
the mines against their will.
