John Phillips Sousa the celebrated
bandmaster, whose visits to Danville
are much enjoyed, ard who has been the
only musician to make money in travel
ing and rendering programs that please
the masses rather than the few cultivat-
ed musicians, has written most inter
esting article in the New York Daily
News, in which he tells how TO succeed
in the management of men. SOusa says.
You can not be merely director of
body of men if you wish to manage
them Your control over them must
be intellectual. Personal magnetism
and technical knowledge are the main
qualities. If ! have personal magnet
ism, it consists, for one thing in making
every member of my band feel that he
and | alone are responsible for our con
cert. | often say to a nervous new
conner: Now remember, you and | are
giving this concert | won t fail if You
won't That simple device with real
feeling back of it, helps the man and
the man helps me. But it is undoubted-
ly often put down to personal magnet
ism in the ordinary sense of the word
Also, am never personal in any sat
irical remark l may make Much de-
pends upon that.
'You can not control men by making
fun of them individually. You can
control them by laughing at them all
blaming them all, satirizing them all,
and they will all laugh together and
try to do better. But if you single out
one man for ridicule ne viii resent it,
and the rest will fear YOU.
You can not be merely a director of
any body of men if you wish to manage
them. Your control over them must be
more intellectual than mere direction.
You must appeal to their intelligence,
and the way to do that is to suggest to
that intelligence. BY this method you
will have under you not men obeying
orders, which is an example of a low
form of control indeed, but you have
men in whom you have induced heaIthful
mental activity, which can only result
in intelligent and successful effort And
they are the first to recognize this, and
your control over them increases with
this recognition. a third possible meth
Cd of control is by fear This is the
worst way in the world, but there are
certain natures from whom it seems to
win tho boot results. / know only two
classes Of men | can not control the
excessively stupid and the excessively
vain.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Along Felt Want.

Who does not know the bother that
may be caused by a demand for so
simple 4 thing as piece of toast? If
cook is trying to heat her oven, she
must give up the attempt for awhile,
since toast must be made over the
Goals, and this necessitates the removal
OF the stove lid and the consequent
cooling of the fire. Much the same
condition exists for the heating Of the
boiler or for the quickemng of the fire
itself. Therefore the latest invention
for help in this matter will soon be
hanging in every kitchen. 1t consists Of
circle of asbestus, just about the size
of an ordinary stove lid. 1t is cover
ed with a fine wire netting and sup
piled with a handle of coiled wire.
This is fitted over the fire without dis
turbing its condition. 1t does not check
the draft In any way, and the bread
on it turns a beautiful golden brown
without danger of a scorch, while the
oven and the boiler are busy about
their own duties.

Colonel Clement Of the Twelfth, is
not inclined to believe that his regi-

1t is rumored that either the Fifth

The reason given for the disbuding

lack of armory room. In the event
Of this regiment being disbanded its

also be done with the companies Of the

term that formerly was applied to
gathered lower draperies and not to
straight upper curtains. A charming

studio has straight top valance of
sage green velours, with center de-
sign in gold applique. A long piece Of
sage green and dull gold silk brocade
is used for the side drapery and is car
ried up under the valance at each side,
with the middle portion drawn in a
festoon over the yclours in such n way
that the appliqued part is fully shown.
The lower side edges of the Velours
also are seen. This loOped part of the
curtain and the lower edge Of the val
ance are finished with gold tasseI
fringe. The valance is fastened to the
