The Way To Succeed.

Paraphrasing the words of Horace
Greeley, 'The way to succeed is to adj
vertise." There is scarcely notable
commercial success that has not been
built upon the solid foundation of adj
vertising, and likewise, practically all
good, clean, honest business that adj
vertises legitimately is successful.
Whenever you see manufacturer
cooperating with the retailers of this
city or group of cities or of all the
cities in the United States in an adver-
Using campaign on behalf of his mer-
chandise you may safely make up your
mind to three things
First, the merchandise has merit.
Second, both the manufacturer and
and the merchant are progressive, de-
pendable people with whom to do bust
ness.
Third, they are successful and merit
your confidence and patronage.
Manufacturers are beginning to
understand that the only way to create
actual, ''over- the-counter" demand for
a product is to advertise it locally-in
the newspapers.

The Salesman's Sermon.

Certainly / will make a few re-
marks" said the cigar salesman who,
because of his solemn garb, had been
mistaken for man of the cloth. As
cending the platform he said;
Men are like cigars. Often you
cannot tell by the wrapper what the
filler is. Sometimes good old stogie
is more popular than an imported celeb
riety. Some men are all right in the
show case, on display, are great disap-
pOintments when you get them home.
No matter how fine man is, event
ually he meets his match. A two-fer
often puts on as many airs as a fifty
center. Some men never get to the
front at all except during the cam
paigns. Some are very fancy outside
and are selected for presents. Others
have rough exterior, but spread cheer
and comfort about them because of
what is inside. But all men as all
cigars. good or bad, twofers, stogies,
rich or poor, come to ashes at last"

President Wilson's Famous Limerick

One of President Wilson's favorit,
ways of answering a question is to re
cite limerick, of which he knows {
large number, many of his own or hi:
daughters composition. Asked how
many he knew, he once said:
81 don't know, but the other night
when couldn't get to sleep | began
saying over all | knew, thinking il
would put me to sleep. counted as
went along and was in the twentieth
when dozed off. -
In New York one day during the
campaign Gov. Wilson was asked if he
was going to a peace congress dinner
at which President Taft was to be
present. He replied;
mo, I'm not like the man so be-
nighted;
Who didn't know when he was slight
ed,
But went to the party and ate just as
hearty.
AS If he'd been really invited.
Mr.. Wilson is great story teller,
In private he keeps his friends in hours
long gales of laughter. He uses simple
words and strong words, but seldom
slang. He loves nonsense verse and
limericks and often reels them of
while he is getting acquainted with his
audience, for he talks with an audience,
not to it. Mr.. Wilson. as has beer
said, has a strongly individual face,
Some people would call him homely.
He was under no illusion about that
matter himself. He told the people
during his campaign for the governor
ship that they might as we'll prepare
themselves for a busy governor, fol-
the Lord never intended him to be or.

ASHES WILL Be SCATTERED AT MEET.
ING OF STREAMS
Request OF John Illard, Who Has Just
Died At Harodsburg, To Be
Respected

Harrodsburg, KY. July 5.-(SpeciaD =
John Lillard, &C, for fifteen years an
invalid, died late last night, according
to his own prediction, made repeatedly
within the last month.
He was charter member of the
first crematory built in Cincinnati, and
according to positive instructions given
his two stanch friends, H. C. Wood
and James T. Cook and which they
promised him on the day preceding his
death to carry out. his body was sent
to Cincinnati for incarceration.
Mr.. Cook went to bring the ashes
back in an urn. One day next week
he will proceed to comply with a pro-
mise made Lillard, to carry the ashes
to the mouth of Dix and Kentucky
Rivers at the spot where the waters of
the two rivers mingle, which is in sight
of and a few hundred yards above
High Bridge. A few friends have Seen
asked to attend this ceremony which
will not be accompanied with any form
of religious rites.
Mr., Lillard was an eccentric bachelor
afflicted by paralysis and his death
fastened by locomotor ataxia.
He was reporter for the Courier
Journal in Louisville during 1870 to
1874, after which he was for years a
travelling salesman and known to drug
gists in every State in the Union. He
was a collector of wide repute and left
some rare specimens of archaeological
and art wonders.
The death of Mr.. Lillard has recalled
to mind an incident which occurred the
the day upon which his mother passed
away. His father, Benjamin Lillard,
quite an aged man at the time. was so
overcome at sight of his wife laid out
in shroud that he remarked to the
friends assembled, "She's dead, and
believe I'll die and go with her, "and
laid himself down upon the bed and
died in few minutes. Their bodies
were buried at the same time and in
one grave in the cemetery in this city,
where they had always lived.

On the other hand, Philadelphia, as
rule, this year won by large scores.
Opposing teams scored often on
Mack's twirlers. We are doubtless
far stronger than anything that fin
ished behind the Athletics. Where
fore we should find plenty of open
ings against MaCk's mound cham
pions. They will have q tougher time
against our pitching staff than
against any individual box depart
ment of the American League.
Another point Hitting is far more
likely 10 count over long stretch of
154 games than in such limited
series as that which decides the
Worlds Championship. Pitching in
the latter case. | believe, is the main
factor In this department we have
a decided advantage. Mathewson was
never in better shape since I Joined
the club. Tesreau is good, and Al
Demaree, though a NCungster, is
real marvel. Manager McGraw is not
forced to stake his all on one or two
men. Mack must bank exclusively on
Bender and Plank-men who by all
laws of nature, because of their long
service, can not hope to recuperate
fully from the rough usage to which
they were submitted in the heat Of the
pennant fight. If either Plank or
Bender goes under in the first two
games then Mack Will be up against
it, and up against it hard.
Pitching should win for us. None
of our staff has been Ogarwurked Ia

is that the further the series goes the
better for us. for one am not

By J. w. McConaughy.

TN one story of this series we dis
cuss a pitcher of the Giants who
had nothing on the ball" This
is a story about a pitcher who had
nothing on the bail. The difference
is in the quotation marks. The story
is about Big Jeff Tesreau, the only
pitcher in the big leagues who was
signed on his size.
TO begin at the beginning, Big
JEFF is not his name He was christ
ened Charles, buy he was not con-
suited at the time. This occurred in
the village of Cape Girardeau, one Of
the little towns that failed to sink
into the Mississippi at the time of
the big earthquake The steamboats,
used to stop there before the railroads
put the stea mbOats out of business, so
Cape Girardeau is now on the map
only as the birthplace of Charles TeS
reau.
At an early age Charles Tesreau
grew much too large for Cape Girar-
deau There was danger of his block
ing river traffic. His father took him
to Fredericktown. which is also in
the sovereign State of Missouri, at
the edge of the Ozark country. Thus
the young Tesreau became the north
ern boundary Of the mountains.
At II he tried to make the local
ball team, but he was disqualified
on account Of his size. He is yard
or so over six feet now and weighs
220 in condition. He says he shaped
up somewhat after that fashion at Il.
Remembering the sCriptural nbser-
walton about a prophet invariably
getting the kibosh from his own
gang Young Charles Tesrelu offered
his services to the Ironton Club. The
manager of this bush league outfit
having no preiudices against bulk
for its own sake permitted the com
ing hero of the Giants to strike out
from fourteen to twenty men with
great regularity
1t was here in IrOntOn that ne be-
gan to qualify for that earlier soubri-
uuet of "Bullfros'' Tesreau, a name
which arose from the fact that in
spite of his mighty huseness. ne de
veloped great agility in leaping light
w from league to league.
At this time he he'd nothing but ms
splendid strength which enabled him
to throw a baseball SO hard that
minor league batters could not en-
visage the same in time to biff IT, -
lr0nton he signed "a contract with the
Austin club in thu Texas League and
apparently forgot all about ii. SO did
the Austin club. The latter did not

remember that he belonged to them
until il was announced that he mad
been signed for a trial with the St.
Louis Browns. Then there was a big
kick and Big jeff was ordered South
He remained in the South until the
league that he was connected with
or that club-bleW up Considering
himself fOotioose and DESTROYS Of
viewing the great cities of his father
land, Big jeff signed with Detroit and
reported there Three days after he
had landed Hughey Jennings was or
dered to return him to the South.
Undismayed by these repeated inter
ruptions in his we'll planned tours Of
the United States. Big jeff settled
down to pitch baseball at a place
called Shreveport. 1t was here that
McGraw first laid eyes on him. and
having laid eyes on him he kept them

but not with any astounding success.
It was not his skill as pitcher which
attracted MCGraW's attention There
wasn't any such thing in connection
with Big jeff II was his tremendous
size, his good-nature and his grit
these things. and especially the first
and last, that commended him to Nc
AIiaN. he niue ltdttI Oh the AI-dIiN
believes in bulk on the firing line.
1t is simple arithmetic with him The
bigger and stronger a pitcher is the
longer he will stand the strain Of big
league pitching -thats the way Nc
Graw figures it.
Wilbert Robinson looked him over
at the same time. and he and Nc
GraW agreed that. with all that
strength and nerve, il was simply a
question of a little coaching to make
n real pitcher Of Tesreau. Thus in
due time he was transplantcd TO the
Toronto CLUB, of the Eastern League
with q MCGraw string on him.
At Toronto he began TO learn his
craft He experimental with the
sDitball and took to il as if he had
invented it. He had been using this
delivery only a year when johnny
Evers said he considered him nearly
as great a spitball pitcher as Ed
Walsh.
He also worked TO develop "hook"
IA curved bail, TO mix up with mis-
IA 81 and the "spitball." He now has
all three Of these along with his grit
and strength.
The answer to al of which is that
Big jeff Tesrcau is now one Of the
best right handlers i'm The country
and, barring accidents, he is likely to
demonstrate the same to noticeable
extent this week,
