Probably the most fortunate of all
popular son9-writers from a financial
point of view is Frank Howard, whose
income from his first song hit, "Only Il
Pansv Blossom" is said to have been
more than $1,000 in single year 1t
must be borne in mind that he is Il we'll
known negro minstrel singer, and,
therefore, has unusual opportunities for
introducing his songs to the public and
making them popular. This fact is
thoroughly understood and appreciated
by his publishers, who on that account
pay him royalties much larger than any
ever given to any CthCr composer of
popular ballads Howard is the son of
an Iowa clergyman, and i'll a hayward
mOol LETT home at an early age. He
was singing in the streets to draw IL
crowd around the wagon of liver

Milt Barlow. the well-knoWn minstrel
manager, discovered" him aud put

Politeness is an essential requisite TO
the suct essful clerk There need be
no cringing or undue Difference, but
the customer must be made to feel that
the clerks time and service are at his
disposal. and no, rs is often the case,
receive the impression that his pres
cnce has most inopportunely infer
rupted chat with fellow clerk, aud
the sooner he buys what he wants the
better; or, worse still. the quicker he
leaves, whether he purchases on not,
the better satisfied the clerk will be.
This is entirely wrong. The clerks
employer pays him for his time, and if
the employe be an honest man he en-
deavors to earn his salary by devoting
his energies to the sale of the goods
intrusted to his charge. The dawdling
salesman will never rise from h nd
the counter. 1t is the bri *, alert and
attentive clerk who is selected to fill
higher position when vacancy occurs,
and it is the same young man who, as
the years roll by, is either admitted to
partnership or starts for himself. No
fortune has ever been made behind Il

A CURIOUS problem was presented to
Pittsburgh and Allegheny City when
the use of natural gas became general
IN the twin cities. 1t hid been the
custom of the household RS to dispose
OF the most of the garbage and refuse
by burning it in the kitchen range.
The use OF fuel gas at once prohibited
this. Not wisp of straw nor match
can be tossed into gas CRATE or range,
much less even the smallest portion of
vegetable matter To meet this emer-
gency garbage and refuse cremation
company was established and a crema-
tory built. The company has its carts
which make rounds regularly, and
houscholders who can pay for the
privilege have their refus, cans as reg
nlarly in waiting. Their contents are
conveyed to the huge furnaces, and
speedily converted into another COM
bination of particles.
