Estimating the Business Value of Callers.
(Success.)

Men who direct affairs, whether their
own business or a department of anOther's,
must learn to judge the business value of
callers. They must learn to enforce such
judgments, and to end interviews that have
passed the limits of utility. Chatting on
general subjects during business hours is
a sure means of spelling ones executive
efficiency, rObbing ones employer, or even
running ones own business.
Men who are famous as executives seem
to have an instinct for deciding instantly,
when caller is announced, how much
time to give him. President Roosevelt is
a fine example of such man. WheI a
man enters his Office, he grasps him by
the hand as if he were a long-expected
friend, but along with the cordial greeting
is plain expression that business is bust
ness, and that other dear friends" are
waiting. Most Of the Presidents visitors,
therefore, state their errands concisely,
and retire quickly without creating fur
ther delay.
The President of certain large institu-
ton is known for the cordial welcome he
gives to his callers, but he has remarkable
tact in leading them Immediately to the
business in hand. As soon as that is con-
cluded, he rises graciously and shakes the
callers hand, assuring him that he re-
grets not having more time to give to
him, and the caller, though really dismiss
ed at the will of the busy man, goes away
feeling that he has been handsomely
treated, even if he has not been talking
to him for over three minutes. The heads
of large banks and insurance companies,
and the high-salaried trust officers, are
men with this faculty well developed. In
fuential promoters, men of combining pow
ers, grasp, comprehension, and executive
ability, are always men of comparatively
few words in business, and are known for
their directness and conciseness. Every
word they speak counts: they look upon
their time as capital, and will not allow it
to be unnecessarily infringed upon.
These prompt, direct, executive men
make some enemies, of course, but they
accomplish results-they do things. They
believe in military discipline in their bust
ness, and do not want anything to do with
people who do not mean business.
One of the most valuable assets of
business man is the power of compelling
those with whom he has transactions to
be brief. This is an indication of the sue
cessful man. Only those who have learn
ed the value of time can appreciate its i'm
portance, and SO guard against it being
encroached upon by thoughtless or over
talkative people. Perhaps no one in the
business world today furnishes such a
striking example of the power of induc-
ing brevity in others as ]. PierpOnt Nor
gan. His enemies accuse him of rude
ness in this respect; but it is merely a
business principle.

Bulbs for Fall Planting.
Country Life in America.


The most popular hardy bulbs for Au-
tumn planting are tulips, hyacinths, ero-
cuses and narcissi. Other favorites are
snow-drops, squills, grape hyacinths, glory
of the snow, snowfakes, the crown impe-
rial and other fritillaries, trilliums and the
charming little bulbcocodium, which looks
like crOeus but blooms q few days ear
lier. The Autumn is also the best time
to plant many lilies, although most other
Summer and Fall-blooming bulbs are best
planted in the Spring.
Bulb culture is very simple. 1t is easy
to understand and requires very little
work. Bulbs are quick and sure to give
results. They bloom at moment of the
year when every bit Of life and color is
welcome. The blossoms are large and
snowy, with wonderful range of color,
and contrary to very general impression
year.
Crocuses should be planted about three
inches deep. You can scatter them about
in the grass, if you like. Sharpen a stick
or take piece Of gaspipe and make holes
at irregular intervals. Then put in a bulb
and cover with soil. Next year you will
have n new sensation and be thousand
times repaid. Every passerby will smile
with pleasure at the happy faces of these
childish flowers. When it comes to cut
ting the grass. you may have to do a lit
tie dOdging with the lawn mower, or else
cut off the crOcus foliage, in which case
the bulbs will not be as strong next year.
BY the middle of June or before the cro-
Gus leaves will be turning yellow, sign
that the bulbs are ripening. Then you
may RUIZ the lawn mower anywhere with
q clear conscience. Eventually the GRO
cuses will be crowded out by the grass,
but few cents q year will make the lawn
smile again for very joy of crocuses.
l can never tell which way l like GRO
cuses the best-in beds or scattered in the
lawn. Both are good. l mean to have
them both ways every year. The adyan-
tages of the bed are that you get great
er mass of color, and the bulbs are more
permanent. Although crocuses are per
fectly hardy, it is best to cover all bulb
beds with straw or littler Evergreen
boughs will do, but not Autumn leaves
unless they have been allowed to lie in
pile for year or more. This covering
should be put on after good freeze:
otherwise field mice may nest in the litter
and eat the bulbs. Crocuses bloom much

Social Life in juneau Described by Nii-
-.- vaukee oman.


A city where there are no poor people
and where consequently there is no op
portunity for charitable work, is some
thing unusual; but this is the state OF ar
fairs III Juneau, Alaska, according to Mrs
Wythe DENLY, who has just come from
that ideal Alaska city. Mrs. Denby de.
scribes Juneau and its social life in the
Evening Wisconsin. She says:
The people who go out there are most
able business. Most often they are coll
neeted with the mines. around which ev-
erything centers. In the case of the labor
ing men, they are usually miners, and
there is plenty Of work for them, so that
really poor people are altogether unknown
Now and, then, of course, miners drift
back from the KlOndike broke as the
men say, but these can get work in the
mines ut good wages. So there is no
such as is done by women in most other
cities.
.Juneau isn't large place, only about
2,5OO, but we have the pleasantest society
there, because, as / said, it is usually nice
people who go there. Some delightful
dinners are given, and there is no lack of
delicious yiands for them. People in the
East sometimes think we are too far from
the markets to have good things to eat,
comes to us. Only we have to plan longer
ahead, perhaps, especially in the matter
of fruits. But delicious vegetables are
raised by market gardeners there, and the
prices are not at all high-that is, for
Western prices.
with the exception of theaters. con-
certs and lectures, we really have all the
essentials of civilized living. We do miss
those things, however. There is theater
hrf hn oil
dream of going there. But there is the
usual round Of social life, receptions and
teas and dinners and card parties, quite
like any other city, and one meets the
pleasantest people.
'Then there are good shops, where one
can buy just about everything and there
are even good dressmakers and hairdress-
ers, these constituting a sort of floating
class, for they remain for q while and
back to the States once or twice a year
and do their shopping there.
Juneau is very picturesquely located,
lying on the side of a mountain. In fact.
the streets are so precipitous that both
roads and sidewalks are flanked. The
buildings are nearly all of wood, but sub
stantial Of their sort.
I'VE do not have cold weather there.
The Japanese current comes down past

mercury rarely ever goes below zero. In
the Winter we sometimes have the taku

Experience


Those residing on North Sixth street,
the past few nights, have been an
noyed by the prowling around in that
neighborhood of a colored nan and
woman, and the hen coops of several
neighbors have been touched for lay
ing hens and spring chickens. Doc
Bledsoe resides at No. 314 North sixth
street, and his coops have been visited
by some of the midnight providers. The
other night, while the moon was shin
ing brightly, Bledsoe was aroused from
his slumbers by the constant barking
of his dog. He felt certain that there
were providers around and jumping out
of bed ne grabbed his revolver and
made forth for the yard. He followed
the dog and discovered. in a crouched
position, a colored woman Then a
man-coal black-came up, and when
they saw the big gun in the right hand

chicken house, he would have pumped
lead at them from his revolver.
