A Persian Hotel.

- Some years ago an effort was made
to establish European hotel at the
junction of the two most Travelled
roads of Persia. Each room of this no.
tel contained some articles which l at
least have never found in any hotel
tn either Europe or America. Among
them were nightcap, hairbrush
and a toothbrush. Perhaps 1t was on
account of this extravaganza that the
scheme failed. An American mission
airy as be was leaving this hotel one
morning was asked by servant what
he had done with the hotel hairbrush
This dignified man in clerical attire
with his wife and children was pre-.
vented from leaving the hotel until It
was ascertained that he had spoken
the truth when he said that he threw
the brush under the bed to scare away
a cat.-Mrs Colquhoun in Los Angeles

Tho Practical Goat.

M. Jules Renard was the mayor of
Corbigny. In the Nievre. Every Sun
day he contributed to the journal de
Clancy, and this is the sort of things
he used to give the peasants. Writing
of the Journal Oficiel. posted up on
the wall of the marie and which no
one ever reads. he said:'
II had forgotten the goats. One of
them never misses a number. Standing
on its hind legs. with its front legs
resting on the poster, it moves its
horns and beard from right to left,
like an old woman reading. When it
has finished reading as the official
sheet has an appetizing smell of fresh
paste. the goat eats it. After nourish-
ing the mind one must feed the body.
THUS nothing is lost in the commune
What pity that all novel readers
have not the stomach of this practical
goat They might then eat the books
they had read. buy more. and so the
man OF letters would in the end be
able to eat IN his turn."-Paris Letter

NO CANDIDATE
IS DECIDED ON
Ohio Republicans Still in
Air on Governorship.
GARFIELD CAUSES WORRY

Irregular" Leaders Unable to Estimate
the Strength of the Prosressives in
the Convention, as Most of the Dele
gates Are NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Differences in Platforms Suggested
by the Two Factions.
Columbus, o., July 26.-The Repub-
lican leaders and delegates who are
here for the state convention of the
Republican party are frankly awaiting
word from James r. Garfield, the
leader of the progressives. Although
the nominations will be made Wednes-
day the leaders are as far from agree
ment upon candidate for governor
as they were:a month ago. $3.50 = r
AS the -sgreat majority of the dele
gates are unpledged the state leaders
are greatly interested in the number
of votes which Mr.. Garfield will claim
for the progressive camp. It is con-
sidered that this will have a direct
bearing upon the platform to be adopt
ed and, hence, upon the candidate for
governor.
The only considerable divergence
between the platform suggested by
Mr.. Garfield three weeks ago and that
outlined by Wade H. Ellis, one of the
regular" leaders and friend to the
president, is in the endorsement of the
present national administration and
the recently enacted tariff law, which
Mr.. Ellis insisted upon.
Hope to Reach Compromise.
1t was admittedly hoped that basis
OF agreement might. be reached on an
outline such as that indicated by Mr..
Ellis.
The fight of the progressive element
has been thus far wholly for an ad-
vanced platform and it was expected
that Mr.. Garfield would indicate how
far the suggestions made by Mr.. Ellis
for an extension of referendum and
other state reforms, coupled with an
endorsement of the president and his
policy, will satisfy the progressives.
Senators Burton and Dick have not
been actively in league with the cam
paign for the nomination of Judge O.
B. Brown of Dayton, who is supported
by George B. Cox, and it was stated
that an acceptance by the progress
s1ves of some candidate other than
Mr.. Garfield himself, on a possible
modification of the platform suggested
by Mr. Ellis, would do much to bring
about an agreement of the leaders
aside from Mr.. Cox himself.

AUTHORIZATIONS Named for Govern
or, but Resubmission Wins.
Dallas, Tex, July 26.-Oscar B. Col

nominated for governor at the Demo

will probably reach $4,000. Cone
Johnson and William Poindexter, the
prohibition candidates, are practically
tied for second place.

UNPR0OuCTIVE ADVERTISING
An Article rOr Advertisers.

In tnlS Work a'Qay WOIlQ tnele are
but few merchants who don't believe
in the efficacy of advertising. They
have feeling in their bones that
the firms that succeed best are those
which advertise properly. They
consequently rush into print with
their little say-so, pay the price of
their ad and then wonder, O so
YEARLY, why they don't get the de-
sired results. One thing however
they seem to overlook and that is
the quality of their advertising.
A firms advertising should be
like its business-just as far above
criticism as they know how to
make 1t. If firm wants to be sue
cessful in any business it must
first of all be honest. Its business
methods must be open and above
board. There must be no double
dealings, no chicanery. 1t must
secure patronage and keep it by
merit alone-s'there is no friend
ship in business. 1t must serve
the public as we'll and, if possible,
a little bit better than any body
else. Just in proportion to the
way in which it embodies in its
business all these fundamental
factors.
Its advertising, too, I say must be
like its business. 1t must be honest.
The advertiser must say what he
means and mean what he says.
There must be no evasion of facts.
There must be no undue emphasis
on unworthy objects. The goods
advertised must be worth the money
asked. The standard of the mer.
chandise sold must be as high as
that of its seller.
The true object of good advertis-
ing is not alone to sell what one has
but to create in the mind of the
reader a desire for the article which
the advertiser has to sell. There
fore advertising must begin and end
by stating as fully as space will per-
NIT the virtues of the commodity
offered. If it has none don't adver-
tise it. Don't sell it. Give it
away or throw in the lake.
Make your advertising just as at
tractive as you know how. If you
have not the knack get someone
that has. Space costs money and
space improperly or inadequately
used is often like sleeping in damp
bed-it does more harm than good.
Above all be careful as to where
you buy your space. Don't take the
word of any advertising salicitor
that his paper reaches the very peo-
pie you want to reach. He is prob
ably honest and believes what he
says but he is naturally prejudiced
in favor of his own organ. Be from
Missouri. Ask to be shown. Make
sure of the circulation. Make sure
that it is the kind of circulation you
are looking for and then buy your
space and buy plenty of it.
Above all and beyond all remember
that advertising is like an umbrella
you must keep it up if is to do you
any good.
Sterne said, The way to fame is
like the way to Heaven--through
much tribulation." The only way to
successful advertising is like the road
to hell paved with good intentions.
But good intentions ultimately bring
good results. No good seed is ever
wasted. Be sure yours is good seed.
