clumsy in his Sunday best clothes, and his

aware that his necktie was never just right,

BUSTLE AND BUSINESS
9 London TELEGRAPH.

s. An agent of Of the American firms
which manufacture vast number of type
writing machines is at present going the
rounds of the London business training
schools giving hints more expeditions
methods in the use Of the instrument In
commencing his remarks, he said that the
thing which strikes him first and most agree
ably as citizen of the United States is that
the machines in these places are nearly all
American. The reason for this was more
grateful still to his nationality. Why the
American gets on better than his competitors
is because he massachusetts first thing
when he gets up in the morning and bustles
all day long. If you want to get on you must
hustle. You had only to look round the
various departments Of business in England
to see that bustling was neither practised nor
understood. He would explain. There were
varieties of mosquitoes, with big buzzes and
bigger bites One, presumably OF English
origin and another from Chicago were help
ing themselves to some milk when thought
less man imprisoned them by putting the lid
on the can. The poor English mosquito
trembled and asked what was to be done, for
they were likely to be drowned. The Chicago
chap was different; he said he was going to
hustle, and when the lid was taken off he
rose up and disappeared into freedom, carry
ing off a little pat of butter, which he had
churned with much bustling. And that was
day long. Then, again, in England the most
was not taken out of either machines or men.
He had noticed that here the majority of peo-
pie used only the first and second fingers
while working the typewriter, but in America
they hustled with the whole eight. Again.
the English1nan, as a rule, could only work
the. machine while he was looking at it, so
that he lost a lot of time by taking sentence
from his shorthand notes and tipping it, then
taking another, and so on. He ought to finger
the keys While he, read his notes-to hustle,
in fact. The american kept his eyes on his
notes the whole time, and SO wds able to go
ahead, knowing in ina gination the keys over
whish, his eight fingers played. The lecturer
was accompanied by an operator, who Ger
tatnly illustrated the simultaneous process
tipping letters both from dctation and from
hss.notes with lightning rapidity.s- Having:
taken down. a particularly fast dictation he
smiled, oh, yes, of course, it is only knack
but 1t Isl perfectly simple. You see. there are
ten columns Of letters, and allSI Sdos is to use
the second, third and fourth fingers OF the
left hand for the left three columns; the cor
responding three fingers Of the right hand for
the right, three columns; s. the four center

which have more work TO do because they are

principal of the high school, has confessed
his love for his pupil, Bessie Rogers 50
