The four yachts who took part In
the recent transpacific yacht race as
well as the local first class yachts will
leave here at ten o'clock Tuesday
morning for a race, the finishing point
being Hilo This race has been talk
ed of for some time, and the only
reason that 1t had not been arranged
before was the uncertainty of the
yachts being able to take part. The
matter was finally decided last night
at the poi supper given at the Seaside
Hotel in honor of the visitors.
EX-Commodore II. e. Cooper will be
in command of the Hawaii, and it is
safe to say that with him giving or
ders, the Hawaii will be able to give
a good account of herself. The local
yachts that will enter are the Gladys,
Kamehameha, the Helene and possibly
La Paloma. Sorenson & Lyle have
offered the use of the marine railway
free to the yachtsmen, so that they
can get their commands ready for the
race which promises to be very in
teresting.

USING SHOW WINDOWS.
Arrangement Of Goods to Attract A.
tention Is Not to Be Neglected.

Many grocers consider it useless to
display stocks in windows for the pur-
pose of attracting attention. The
same ones will carelessly stack up out
side heaps of perishable goods, and
fail to even use mosquito netting to
keep the flies off. One Of the most
prosperous groceries in a large city
in the west made rapid progress from
a small stand to big concern in a few
years. 1t was the neatness of the
place and the display of the goods and
the promptness in looking after orders
that built up the business. This, at
least, is what is claimed by the owner.
One of the notable things about the
place is that there is nothing displayed
outside the store unless the same is in
a case. The show windows, one each
side of the door, are as carefully fixed
up two or three times week as the
windows of a fashionable dry goods
store. One display will be of certain
kind of canned goods on which the
grocer is making a run. Cans will be
artistically arranged in pyramids,
stars, triangles, with a view to har.
mony in the color arrangement of the
labels. Later a display of olives,
products, bacon, hams, sausages, lard,
catsups, condiments Of all kinds, will
be arranged. Everything is season.

made to hold whole stocks. While in
one window there may be display of
canned goods, in the other will be ar.
tistically arranged a line of meat
and complete assortments of the goods
of some well-known house. Neatness
and cleanliness are the two principal
things to be observed in the grocery
window display. There should be am.

1t is necessary that changes be made

BUSINESS EXPERTS.
Every Merchant Should Be One If He
Intends to Meet with Success.

During recent years a number Of
self-styled business experts have come
into existence. They are apparently
the outgrowth of the advertising
school. They are builders,
men with ideas, and ready to dispense
of the reasons why this class of experts
exists is the lack of proper business
education on part of merchants. Were
the average retailer the well-informed
man that he should be there would be
little field for the business specialist.
It behoves the business man these
days to be in the front rank of the
well-informed or he is likely to be in
the front rank of bankrupts. There is
hardly battle-ground. One may be
a plodder for while, but it sooner
or later becomes evident that the re.
taller or the jobber or the man in any
branch of business who does not keep
up to advanced methods is supplanted
by some one more enterprising. 1t is
only necessary to study the failure re.
ports of any of the large commercial
agencies and the cause Of disaster can
easily be discovered. It is the knowl.
edge of these truths which encourages
the business experts. But strange as
it may seem, these men who are spe.
cialists and know all about how to
run affairs of someone else quite often
lack the ability to properly and sue.
cessfully conduct business for them
selves.

1t takes away the means Of establish

Thus it can be seen how vital it is
to the masses to understand that any

Nobody knew what was the trouble,

alarm of the entire post, although no
one had seen him.
The next day Frank went to look
up his treasure. The brush-heap was
gone, and in it's place was hole as
large as a cellar, and beside it stood
the colonel of the regiment and the
captain of the guard. Frank heard the
colonel say:
Il never heard Of such extraordinary
artillery practice. You say the fire in
the woods was just here?"

There was great brush-heap here,

The young relic-hunter decided that
it was not just the time to confide his
story to the colonel. SO he kept his
secret for more than 20 years, and
then on meeting his old colonel, told
him the story of the shells.
