A SaIesman's Remark.

One of the requisites of good sales
man IS knowing just what to say, and
when to say it, to customers who are
undecided and hardly know what they
want, and to whom a word spoken at
the right time is sufficient very often to
effect q sale. Sometimes, however,
statesmen with the desire of assisting q
hesitating customer, say things which
have the opposite effect from that in
tended, as the following anecdote will
show:
a gentleman who was several years
younger than his wife, and who was
besides small and rather boyish in APP
pearance, entered dry goods store in
one of our towns with his wife and re-
quested to be shown some carpets.
The proprietor himself, to whom as it
happened they were unknown, waited
on them. He showed them very polite
ly his extensive stock of carpets, and
exhibited with great pains their beauty
and excellence of quality. The gentle
man and his wife seemed somewhat
undecided rs to what suited them
among the various patterns displayed,
and the proprietor, with the laudabe
desire OF assisting them to decide, re-
marked blandly 10 the gentleman,
pointing to one of the carpets, Il
think, sir, this is the carpet your
mother likes
The gentleman looked little sur
prised, but quietly said, ''she is not my
mother, sir, but my wife,
The lady said nothing, but it is need
less to add that she did not find any
carpet to suit her, and they left the
proprietor, who felt that he had lost a
sale by his unfortunate remark, 4 sad
der and wiser man. If there is any
thing that a woman will not forgive it
is to be thought older than she is

Accidents That Are Costly.

You occasionally hear people find
fault because managers of railroads do
not prevent accidents, = said railroad
man in Jersey City the other dav.
There may be bears among railroad
owners who rejoice in wrecking rail-
roads that they do not own, but to the
practical railroader train wreck is a
big loss directly, besides the loss in
prestige which follows"
''ls the rolling stock so costly?"
YES, a freight train, for instance,
that rolls down an embankment, where
half OF it is burned, will give YOU a
good idea Of tie loss. The average
engine is worth $1,000 A common
freight car is worth $40, or perhaps
$500. The ordinary gondolas are
worth $500 to 1926. An engine is
arely ruined beyond repair, but a
wreck can knock So, 900 out of it lust
as easy as rolling off a log. A burned
car is ruined car, of course, and re-
pairs on those that are crushed may
cost anywhere from $40 to 5000 each.
If passenger car, such as is used
on ordinary roads, is burned, IS, 500
goes up in smoke. These figures are
for the cars in use, and not new out of
the shop. From this you can see that
wrecks may happen which cost COM
pany $4,000, and yet nothing is like
~ to be said about them in the papers
unless some one gets hurt, and not
then If the railroad men can keep il
quiet. ~. z San.
