That is n large sum, but MI. Collins
has been a book canvasser for fifteen
years, and has made handsome income.
He began at $40 II week. The book sells
for $500 the set. One of our agents
made so, 900 in one month selling Apple
ton Cyclopedia. Such men think it a
poor week when they do not earn 800.
One of our canvassers, named Rust

Art Journal. Another earned $3.50 in
a month selling : The Gallery of British

this country who are earning 500 as book
rgents.
"Of course, these are not sort of men
that funny paragraphs are written about.
They are gentlemen who are good con-
versationalists. People like to hear
them talk, and know how to talk to the
right people. They ride in carriages,
dress wen, and lose no time. They
know thoroughly what they have to sell
and know how to sell it. We can depend
upon them to sell a given quantity"
"Could they take any kind OF books
and earn such wagesl"
Probably not. This firm put $500, OOO
into the Cyclopedia before they got a
cent back. They put 100000 into
Picturesque America before they began
to get their money back. That sells for
1924 a copy. If we depend on the trade
to sell it we should have to get 5000 a
copy to make it pay. Agents sell books
that could not be sold in any other waH.
People will not go to to look for books,
but when they see really good books off

That is the bittcrest Of ALTO
wear the yoke OF our own wrong do
ing.
There is no greater delight than to
be conscious of sincerity on self-ex-
animation.
The world may owe you living,
but you have to step around lively
and collect your bills.
1t is better to believe that d man
does possess good qualities than to
assert that he does not.
The men who do things mature,y,
slowly, deliberately, are the men who
oftenest succeed in life. People VIII"
are habitually in hurry have to do
things over twice, The tortoise beats
the hare at last.
There is no better test of purity
and true goodness than reluctance to
think evil of ones neighbor, and abb
solutely incapacity to believe an evil
report about good men, except upon
the most trustworthy evidence.
Unscrupulousness gets rid OF much
but not Of toothachc, or wounded
vanity, or the sense OF loneliness.
against which, as the world alone at
present stands, there is no security
but thoroughly healthy jaw and
a just, loving soul.
The man who owes little can
clear it off in a very little time, and
if he is prudent man, will whereas
a man who, by long negligence, owes
a great deal. despairs Of ever being
able to pay, and therefore never looks
into the accounts at all.
