SMILING AND SELLING.
There Are Times When the Two DO
Not Blend Successfully.

= =
Not Blend Successfully.
IF you cannot learn to smile you
cannot learn to SELL says an exchange.
Now, we are willing to agree that a
happy disposition is very essential
quality for a salesman to have. But,
taken literally, the statement Is not
true. Perhaps IS per cent Of success
full statesmen sell goods with a smile
and find that it pays. But on the 9TH
err hand, there are Is per cent or more
who scarcely ever indulge in smile
while waiting on customers.
Take, for example, some of the wom-
en- who make up the highest class Of
city trade-the kind that drives up to
a shop in swell turnout, enters like
q queen, snubs the foorwalker, seats
herself In comfortable seat and looks
around impatiently to be waited on. If
you know much about selling this class
Of trade you know that If you smile
benignly and perhaps remark about
the beautiful weather you will receive
a frigid stare from the customer that
will make you shake. In most of the
stores where this class of trade Is ca
tered to you will find statesmen who are
expert at handling 1t. They sell even
ing slippers, carriage boots, riding
boots, leggings, ETC., with cold polite
ness that would drive away an ordi-
nary shopper.
There are times and places for every
thing. and the time and place not to
smile are in a shoe store when one Of
the human icebergs which inhabit the
Four Hundred swishes in to buy $40 or
$50 worth Of footwear-that Is, If you

Perryville and Rising Sun crossed
bats on the home grounds Tuesday
afternoon, this being the game
postponed from September "a.
About the only interest attached to
this game was the fact that the win.
ming of it brought to Rising Sun the
much soughtafter base balltrophy-
the handsome silver cup given to the
champion base ball team of Cecil
County. 1t is now virtually the
property of the oriole team, as it
would be impossible for Rising Sun
to finish below first place, even
should they lose their last two
games.
AS far as the game itself is con-
cerncd there was little to it. Fin
nan, the erstwhile terror to the
Sun boys, was in the box for Perry
vile and proved no such enigma as
he did earlier in the season when
pitching for Elkton. His support
was ragged to be sure. Reynolds,
on the other hand, had more
than his usual speed and control
and the riverites could do. nothing
with him. The orioles infield play
ed like veterans and the game was
never in doubt. The score:

RISING SUN VS.. HAyRE DE GRACE.
The first of the series of games
for the championship of Cecil and
Hartford counties was played on
Saturday at Havre de Grace by
Rising Sun and the Burns Bros.
Runabouts. The Cecil county boys
showed the Runabouts the kind of
ball it has required to keep them
in the lead in the league race,
and it proved a trifle too fast for the
Hartford county aggregation. Reyn
Odds pitched fine game for the
orioles, allowing but five hits and
striking out eight men. He was
backed up by his team in splendid
form. Score by innings:

AT the conclusion of the Perry

series was played, when the Har-

which was marked by free hitting,
and, on the part of the orioles at
least, loose fielding. G. Hoover

Colora closed its season at Port

glory. The game was one OF the
best seen on the Port grounds this
year and was won by the visiting
team by a score of 3 to 2. Cald-

strucking out IL of the quarrymen.
Port Deposit failed to score until
the last half of the ninth, when an

CAPT. ROBERT FALCON SCOTT. R. N.
Clements Markham has so enthusiastic
cally put it. With a mass of scientific
data and many valuable specimens AMI
souvenirs of the trip the Discovery re-
turns to enrich the worlds knowledge.
The two primary objects of the expedi-
tion were magnetic work and %geograph-
ical discovery. Continuous magnetic
observations were taken in the neigh
borhood of the south magnetic pole, but
the (ata embodying the results will, OF
course, take a long time to work out.
The chief additions to our knowledge
OF antarctic geography. made by Capt.
Scott and his brave crew, have, however.
already been made public. Wilkes Land
which is marked SO prominently on all
maps of the south polar regions, was
found to be roneXistent, the Discovery
sailing over the very spot where it had
been charted. The great ice barrier
proved to be afloat and pushing it's way
horthwards at the rate of a quarter of a
mile a year, and a vast continent, with
ranges of high mountains, was shown
to exist under the ice-cap of South Vic.
toria Land. Mounts Erebus and Ter
ror, near which the Discovery wintered
were discovered to be on an island, and
not on the antarctic mainland, as had
hitherto been believed, while the land
at the east end of the, ice barrier was
found to be distinct from South Victoria
Land, and has been named by Capt.
Scott King Edward VII. Land.
During the two years that the Discov-
cry was shut in the ice Capt. Scott and
his men made various expeditions in
different directions. The farthermost
point reached wa that touched by Capt
Scott on his great dash for the pole,
when h reached a point 80 degrees and
II minutes south, thus breaking by 207
miles thu record of Borchgrevink, who
got as far as Is degrees and 40 minutes
in 1900, and penetrating more than II
degrees further south than Capt. Cook,
the first antarctic navigator.
In the second season Capt. Scott led
another expedition inland to the west
ward. The plucky band reached a point
270 miles from the ship, in the interior
of South Victoria Land, a vast continent
tai plateau, which stretched away before
them at an elevation of 5000 feet. Dur

Good Sensible Adyice.

The Cashton Record speaks advisedly
and well on the subject of Woodman
insurance and fraternity, which we
commend; "On account of the slight
advance on the assessment rate In the
Modern Woodman organization, made
at the last session of the head camp,
many members. not fully understand
ing the reason and the results have been
talking Of leaving the organization.
TIC sIch we would give word OF ad-
vice and warning. Having been mem.
Der of the organization since 1887 we
feel that we know something OF the
worth of the Woodmen During that
time the writer has carried IS, 900 In
surance at the very low price OF about
SIG per year, or an average OF $3.50 on
a thousand dollars. No other organi'
cation has offered such inducements.
No organization today offers as cheap
insurance as the Woodmen, even at the
present rate, and no man who loves his
family should leave the order on &C
connt Of the slight raise made necessary.
And further 1t will cost no more than
it did last year, for while the rate Is
little higher, the result will be that not
SO many assessments will oe necessary

NOT more than eight will be levied the
coming year. So don't leave the order

RIGHT PRINCIPLES.

EDITOR CENSOR: With great pleas
ure / notice in ysur last issue tht { Judge
d. 0. Mahoney is announced az a candi-
date for the congressional nomination
for the Third district To those who
were present at the last county conyeh-
tion and heard the eloquent and forceful
speech made by the Judge ON that occa-
sion, IL will be unnecessary TO say that
ne will not be required TO employ a
lawyer to deliver his political addresses,
as the present incumbent did Judge
Mahoney is man of excellent character
and fine abilities, and is in touch with
the people of this district on all the
present political questions, and if elected
will represent the district creditably and
ably. The people of this village take an
especial interest in the welfare of Judge
Mahoney, who won their respect and
admiration during his long residence
among them as principal Of our public
schools.
There js a ssiong opposition to the
present member on account of his lobby
ing attempts b fore the last legislature
not for important and urgent legislation,
required in the interest of the people of
the state-but against important meas
ures which the people had twice ex-
pressed themselves in favor of. 1t
seems that the legislature of this state
classed lobbyists with lightning rod
swindlers, Bohemian oats dealers and
stallion company promoters by requiring
lobbyists to register as such, so that all
persons dealing with them might be ap-
prised of their character, and people
seem to be suspicious Of such persons.
Our people seem to have unlimited
confidence in Teddy and Little Bob, and
are satisfied with their measures
Yours very truly,
