BUILDING UP TRADE.
Americans Do Not Seem to Under
stand the Art.
Francis b. LOOMS, Our Minister to
Venezuela, Tells why Our Mer-
chants Do Not Hold Their
own in South America.

To make sure of success in dealing
with the Latin American, every bust
ness man should learn the Spanish
language. Every young man who de-
sires to succeed in business should
master Spanish. Trade follows a
spoken and written language more
certainly and steadily than it follows
a flag, says Francis B. LOOMS, in Sue
cess.
The United States does not have
In any part of Latin America the
share of trade its productivity and
proximity entitle it to. The Ger
mans, the English, the French, and
even the Spaniards, exhibit a higher
degree of commercial intelligence in
dealing with South Americans than
do the people of the United States.
Our merchants and manufacturers
are loath to understand that in order
to succeed in Central or South Amer
lea they must conform to business
methods to which centuries of usage
have given the force and prestige of
national custom. If we desire to do
business with South Americans we
must, in a large measure, do business
in their way, and not try to force
our methods on them, even though
we may be convinced that our man
ner of conducting commercial affairs
is superior to those used by them.
The South American merchant is
accustomed to long credit. Six
months is the usual period, but in
some cases it is extended a full year.
He will pay, but he must have time
in which to do so, for it is the custom
of the trader to act as banker as well
as merchant. He makes large ad-
vances in money and supplies to the
owners of coffee and other planta-
tions, to enable them to pay their la
borers, and the merchant-banker does
not expect repayment until the coffee
crop has been harvested and sold.
AS that is but once a year, it will be
seen that long time in making pay
ments is necessary for the continued
success of his business.
In the matter of selling goods the
Americans are far behind their Euro
'ean rivals in South America. AS a

HUNTING ADVENTURE.

Burgett, to say nothing of his dog

one goes on darkest kind of night and
falls over logs, steps into creeks, is
scratched and bruised and MANNED and
goes home at daylight for the arnica,
imagining that at least he gave the
dog a good time.
Well, on that particular night the
dog sat on his tail at the root of a
giant oak and bayed and bayed, till
Curtis fell and crushed and crawled to
the midnight scene. Then, as the dog
couldn't climb, Curtis Burgett crawled
upward toward the dark spot that
ought to have been a coon.
But it was porcuxine.
The two mixed in mid air and came
down together, where the dog sailed
in and bit Burgett twice before he got

rule, an American salesman will come
to Caracas, the capital of Venezuela,
and stay between steamers-one
week. The chances are that he will
be unable to speak Spanish, and be
equally ignorant of the business
methods that obtain in the country.
AS a result, h usually has the time,
labor and expense of his trip for
nothing. The European salesman,
who always speaks the language of
the country, comes to Caracas and re-
mains two months or more. He be-
comes acquainted with the people,
and makes many personal friends.
He appreciates, what the average
American does not, that sentiment

transactions of the Latin race, and

remains away for a whole year, safe
in the knowledge that his customer
is not likely to buy elsewhere in his
absence.
Venezuela has population of about
5000, 900, but schould have five times
as many inhabitants. 1t is a large
country, with much fertile land, be-
sides enormous mineral, timber and
other natural resources. 1t is capa-
BILE of becoming an important cotton
and rice producing country. In fact.
during our civil war its shipments of
those products to Europe were con-
siderable. At present its chief prod
ucts are coffee, chocolate and hides.
We are the largest buyers from Vene
zuela, but do not sell as much in re.
turn as we should. These conditions
will change just as soon as American
merchants appreciate the fact that,
to do business with Latin Americans,
it must be done according to Latin
American customs.

arduous position of chancellor and Sec
rotary of the archdiocese. He succeed
ed the late Father Bowling in that Of
fee. His promotion in ecclesiastical
position came with his selection as rec
tor of the parish over which he now
presides.
Father Fitzsimmons was born in Nor
ris, ILL.,, where he attended the country
schools. Upon his determination to
study for the priesthood he entered
the church college at Kankakee, III.
Graduating with honorable mention
from that institution, he secured adj
mission to the seminary at Baltimore,
and IS years ago was ordained.
The first assignment given to the
then young clergyman was that of as
sistant pastor of ST. Mary's church,
Chicago. There he remained until
Archbishop Feehan called him to the
cathedral as one of his assistants. In
that capacity he won both the affec-
ton and confidence of the archbishop,
and his promotions were rapid until
he succeeded to the chancellorship.

fSi HARBOR.

The ships in the harbor-the white sails
are furled:
Weary the voyage from over the world;
Weary the tossing on billowy foam;
But the captain is glad, and the sailors
sing "Home!'
Home at last
From the wave and the blast,
Home at last-at lastl
The ships in the harbor-at anchor she
lies
Under the stars of the shadowless skies,
Safe from the seas where the solemn
wrecks roam,
And captain and sailors are singing of
home.
Home at last
From the wave and the blast.
Home at last-at last!
The ships in the harbor from oceans
The shore bells rang sweetly, and Loves
were the lights!
And fairly they twinkled far Ger the white
foam
The lights in the beautiful windows of
home.
Home at last
From the wave and the blast,
Home at last-at last!
Oh ship safe in harbor for all the long
years,
Are you freighted with love-are you
freighted with tears?
DO you bring to my soul from the storm
The lips that sing love and the heart that
makes home?
Home at last
After wave and the blast
Home at last-at last!

toms, and no woman should allow
herself to reach such a perfection of
misery when there is absolutely no
need of it. The subject of our por-
trait in this sketch, Mrs. Williams of
Englishtown, NJ, has been entirely
cured of such illness and misery by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Con-
pound, and the guiding advice of Mrs.
Pinkham of Lynn, Mass.
No other medicine has such a record
for absolute cures, and no other medi-
cine is "just as good" Women who
want cure should insist upon getting
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound when they ask for it at store.
Anyway, write a letter to Mrs. Pink
ham at Lynn, Mass, and tell her all
your troubles. Her advice is free.

Prof. TAFT, of Edinburgh, after hav.

noyed him by taking to the bagpipes,
was troubled by an amateur elocution-
list in the house. One day, the story
goes, when the house was filled with
oratory, a volley of explosions came
from Tait's room, followed by smoke
and unearthly smells. The lessons ir
oratory were suspended, and everyone
in the house collected to find out what
the trouble was. TAFT, with unmoved
conscience, said to the landlord: "As
there seems to be no restrain on the
