Book agents like poets and artists,
must be born. They cannot be made.
A good address, tact, brilliant con-
vocational powers, and both veraclty
and unveracity are the Unborn elements
necessary for the successful book can.
vasser. That the fascinating anu
suave manner of the average profess
siOnal book agent is irresistible Is
proved by the fact that there Is hardly
. person in the United States who,
at some time o. other, has not sub
scribed for books that he did not want.
Some years ago, says the New I DIRK
Press, one of these agents visited a
small hamlet in the state of Michigan
selling 1.-The Royal Path of Life He
had just nine books i'll his rallse. and
he was determined to sell all of them
that day. The first man whom he APP
preached was prominent i'll the church.
you had Detter call up at the
house and see my wife, for she buys
all the books" said the man, good
naturally. Bnt with the customary
%pertenacity of the guild, the agent
made IA sale. His success continued
until about 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
he had sold seven copies OF his book.
He vas anxious to get away and de
ternined to sell the remaining two
copies, so he called on the wife Of his
first customer and, first being careful
to ascertain that her husband had not
been home since morning, he sold her
one of his books.
When the husband came home he
~,v,. Nj, ,,,.f. a n,,onl Soviur. SThn,a
one of those COMPOUNDED book agents
talked me into buying that book"
'What!" exclaimed his wife, "a
book! Why. l bought one, too"
When they compared notes they
found that they were well supplied
with 1.-The Royal Path of Life
The man was furious, and while he
was putting ON his boots to go down
to the station tn get square with that
"villainOus agent" il neighbor rode by,
and the irate mai shouted to him to
detain that book agent ut the station,
he wished particularly to see him.
When the neighbOr reached the sta.
ton the train was in sight. ''My
friend, Mr.. wishes very much to SEE
you before youleave town." he shouted
ooh, Yes" said the agent, blandly
"he wants one Of my books, and
have just M left"
"How much is it I" said the mar
hurriedly, for the train was at hand.
!, "Two dollars"
"Here's your money"
The train moved off, carrying thu
book agent, just as the excited churcl
member, in hot haste, came in sight
His anger at the last imposition

A physician giving bit of his own
personal experience, and having a
constitutional tendency to sleepless-
ness, says that nothing has ever given
such decided relief as eating heartily
just before going to bed. He objects
to the use of the customary night-cap
as a remedy against sleeplessness. both
because alcohol is injurious to an emp
ty stomach, and because it does not
induce a natural sleep. But he thinks
that adults should be like babies,
who sleep best with Il full stomach,
without nightmare, or other unpleas-
ant results

A Turkish police court in Constan-
tinople was investigating the cause of
the death of a young and beautiful
Circassian slave, found floating in the
Bosphorus, with her hands and feet
firmly bound with thongs. The court
had the body identified as that Of a
girl. who belonged tc a wealthy Turk.
Then it rendered the decision that the
deceased came to her death by drown
ing, she having cast herself into the
sea with the purpose CT taking her
own life. The tirmnes. of this pur-
pose was shown by the solidity with
which she had bound her own hands
and feet before throwing herself into
the water
