One of the large department stores
gives its book canvassers a list OF
''Don'ts" Some idea of their character
may be had from these examples:
Don't forget to study your man and
find his likes and weaknesses.
Don't forget that it is the right "Mos
said sentences at the right time that
tell.
Don't forget that you are his social
moral, mental, and physical equal, an6
act so.
Don't forget that you must be en-
Unused yourself if you would enthuse
your man.
Don't forget to look directly into the
eyes of your man; then from the book
to the man.
Don't forget that you must look al
your man to convince him. A look
often clinches forceful statement.
Don't forget that man never says
ono" when your eyes are on him-Only
when your eyes avoid his.
Not all of them are so serious, how
ever, as these extracts will show:
Don't forget to call your man by
name repeatedly.
Don't use the words "extracts" an6
"selectiOns."
Don't sit away from your mantle
closer the better.
Don't forget that one smile is better
than arguments.-N York Sun.

DR.. F. w. Epley of New Richmond
Wis.,, held a consultation with the
Governor Friday and proposed plan
to raise $35O,OOO to rebuild the de.
stroyed city.
It is proposed to ask each county to
contribute a proportion of this sum-
based on it's assessment rolls, just the
same as in tax levy. The next Leg
islature will be asked to reimburse the
counties. The Governor has taken the
proposition under advisement.
The Governor said to-day that he is
still opposed to calling an extra session
of the Legislature to provide for meet
ing the appropriations, $4,000 for
new State buildings, made by the last
Legislature, and for which no funds
are available.
The Governor is daily receiving let
tiers from members of the Legislature
urging him to issue an extra session
call. The letters are instigated by
members of the Boards of University
and Normal Schools Regents.
If majority of the members of the
Legislature request that an extra ses-
sion be called, the Governor will
acquiesce.- Minneapolis Tribune.
