A Successful Rn0k-

Book-agents, like poets are artists,
must be born. They cannot be
made. A good address, tact, bright
conversation powers, and both We
racity and unveracity are the Unborn
elements necessary for the success
full book canvasser. That the fasci-
mating and suave manner of the
average professional book-agent is
irresistible Is proved by the fact
that there is hardly person in the
United States who, at some time or
other, has not subscribed for book
that he did not want.
One year ago says the New York
Press, one of these agents visited a
small hamlet in the State Of Michi-
gan selling "The Beautiful Story
He had just nine books in his va
lise, and he was determined to sell
all of them that day. The first
man WON he approached was
PROMINENT III IIlt flluICu.
"You had better call up at the
house and see my wife, for she buys
all the books" said the man, good
naturedly.
But with the customary pertinac-
ity of the guild the agent made a
sale. His success continued, until,
about 3 O'Clock i'm the afternoon, he
had sold seven copies of his book.
He was anxious 10 get away and
determined to sell the remaining
two copies SO he called Oh the
wife of his first customer, and first
beng careful to ascertain that her
husband had not been at home
since morning, he sold her one Of
the books.
When her husband came home he
gave his wife II parcel, saying:
"a here, one of those confounded
book agents talked me into buying
that book"
"WhatW exclaimed his wife, "a
book! Why, I bought one too"
When they compared notes they
found they were well supplied with
"The Beautiful Story"
The man was furious, and while
he was putting on his boots to go
down to the station to get square
with that "villianous agent" II
ncigobor rode by, and the irate man
shouted to detain that book-agent
as he wished particularly to see
him.
When the neighbor reached the
station hte train was in sight. "My
friend, Mr.. wishes very much
to see you before you leave town."
he shouted.
ooh, yes" said the agent, bland
ly, she wants one of my books, and
| have Just one left"
"How much is it," said the man,
hurriedly, for the train was ut hand.

Here's your money!"
The train moved of, carrying the
bookagent just as the excited
church-member' In hot haste,
came In sight. His anger at the
latest imposition may be imagined.

A PUBLIC BENEFACToA

"Who is III. III. Warner, OF Roches
ter, N. Y, whose Safe Remedies, es
pecially Warmers Safe Cure, have at
tanned such success and celebrity a
home and abroad?"
The question is inspired as much by
affection as curiosity, since through
his instrumentality hundreds of thou
sands, in both hemispheres, have
been restored to health and happi
ness.
Hon. H. Fl. Warner, then, is q
leading and honored resident Of
Rochester, not only, but a prominent
and influential citizen Of the United
States. On several occasions chosen
by his party as a National delegate to
nominate President of the Republic,
he has been q member of the Repub-
can State Committee and of its Exc
cutive Committee. He is a member
OF the American Institution for the
Advancement OF Science; President
OF the Rochester Chamber of Com
merce; a successful and upright bust
ness man. He has given away for
tunes in charities. The celebrated
and costly Warner Observatory OF
Rochester was conceived, endowed,
and is maintained by him. His
munifcent prizes for the discovery of
comets has been at once the wonder
and delight of the scientific world.
The yellow fever scoursge in the
South, the Ohio floods, the fire dis
ssters of Rochester and other cities
awakened his profoundest sympathies
and in each instance his check for
from $500 TO s., 900 swelled the several
relief funds. Where other wealthy
men give tens and hundreds, he gives
hundreds and thousands.
Ills charities are as ready and
MAGNIFICENT as his enterprises and
public spirit are boundless.
The world has need OF more such
men.
An incident led him into the manu-
iacture OF medicine. Seized some
twelve years ago with what the ablest
physicians termed fatal kidney dis
ease, he was miraculously restored 10

and their power over disease simply

A Tower of Babel,

When the news was first published
that Minneapolis, MIMI. was to have
twenty. eight-story building. many
persons disbelleved it, but the scheme
is about to materlaliZe.
The plan shows the outline of 72S
rooms, all of which open from the in.
terror court, and every one of which
has window in the exterior wall.
The plans are drawn for building
80 feet square at the level of the side
walk, and tapering a little toward
the top. which gives it the general
appearance of a lofty tower with al
most countless loopholes.
The court within is scheduled to
be 4Ox40 and in the middle of it SIX
teen elevators are outlined to lift the
tenants to their Offices in the sky.
The building will be $50 feet high
and perfectly fire-proof, being of iron
with thin yeneering of brick or

enough Republican Senators to turn
the scale on any question, who are
actuated by motives that are not hon.

strong enough to overcome party
fidelity and to break down party dis

be held largely in Ohio, and it will
be spread with the greatest zeal and
