HOW TO FOLD A LETTER.

said the advertising manager TO the
business house manager who had ad-
veTtised for typewriter and book
keeper.
From all over New England said
the business man, jamming his pockets
full. But what some Of the girls who
answer are thinking Of can't imagine.
Here is one girl who will come ffy
miles to take place at So a week"
"Can you tell much as to their quail
lcations by their lettersg"
"Can 1? Well. rather. For instance,
there is the Writing; there is the spell
ing Of the words; there is the way the
letter is put together; there is even the
way the letter is folded. Ever think
that letters are folded so as TO save
time nowadays:"
NO" said the advertising man. IT'S
all can do to get the stamps to put on
'em. My stenographer folds 'em all
right ! guess. How should it be done ?"
Easy enough, simple enough. but
folded wrong often enough" said tho
business man sententiousIy. "If your
typewriter knows her business she
takes the sheet and folds it up from the
bottom toward the top. leaving the
proper width for the envelope. then
over from right to left and from Ieft
to right-so. Then when your letter IS
opened it is right side up. See?'
Il see" murmured the advertising
man. "And how many applicants fold
their letters that wayY'
"Oh, three or four out of a dozen

MANNERS IN BUSINESS.
Brains and Good Department a VIA
ming Combination.

hAnk
The value OF brains in business can
not be overestimated, OF course; but
neither can the value of manners
Don't make the error OF supposing that
brains are everything. You may have
the best set of brains in the town, but
II you haven't the manners OF a gentle
man nobody is going to appreciate
you. Your manner is the outward in.
dication OF what you are within In the
estimate OF most people. and il the
manner is disagreeable few will take
the trouble to examine into you any
further.
The consensus Of general opinion Is
that the man who goes about with
porcupine quills as his msnners hasn't
any brains worth bothering about. Did
you never notice that the men who en-
ploy large forces Of intelligent people
look at an applicant closely, ask few
seemingly unimportant questions and
promptly employ or dismiss him7 They
don't sound his brain depth; they don't
obtain his biography; they don't inquire
into his social standing; they size him
up from his manners. and II he Is brass
on the surface they don't look for gold
within.
The employer knows that II an appli-
cant's manner strikes him favorably II
will also favorably strike people with
whom he comes in contact in his work.
And nobody knows better than a big
business man that a favorable first Inn
preston means half the sale. People are
apt to think that II there is any place
where manners are OF little consequence
il Is In business. where cold calculation
40 largely takes the place Of feeling
But the truth is that nowhere else are
manners Of such importance rs In ev-
eryday dealings. There Is no capital
and equipment any young man can
have that will pay him better than
good manners. There is no possible
calling for which this does not better
at him. II he has brains the world
owes him something. but unless he has
good manners he will have hard time

The brain is an important organ
serving as it does to keep the head
from collapsing. Almost all styles Of
doing the hair call for a head Of some
sort. Again. there is nothing like q
head to set off fine neck Finally. we
should feel rather foolish without our
heads.

and an Anticlimax.
whistler was one day visited by
foreign artist, an old acquaintance,
with whom Whistler had not as yet
quarreled. He was received with gen
uine cordiality. and. artist-like. he ran
round the studio looking at everything.
One small picture seemed TO charm him
especially. and he said. Now that is
one Of your good onesr Don't look at
il, dear boy" said Whistler airily. Its
not finished" "Finishedr' said the
visitor. "Why. Il is the most carefully
finished picture OF yours that haYe
ever seen" Don't look at ftrN (pefN
sisted whistler "You are doing, in
justice to yourself. you are doibg in
justice to my picture. and YOU are do
ing injustice to mey' The visitor looked
bewildered. when Whistler, In a the
au.ical tone. cried out: "Stopl I'll finish
II noww Then he procured a very
small camels hair brush. fixed II on a
long and slender handle, mixed a little
speck Of paint on his palette, dipped
the tip Of his brush into II. and then,
standing or from his picture and with
the action OF fencer with his rapier,
be lungcd forward and touched the
picture in one spot with his pigment.
''Now it's finished" said he. NOW you
may look at IT," This was oil highly
dramatic. and indeed very well acted,
but. as in the case OF some stage plays.
the final act OF Whistler's performance
proved TO be an anuclimax. The for
eign artist took his leave. but. finding
that he had left his umbrella behind
him. called for It next day. The serv-
ant. recognizing him. told him that Mr..
whistler had gone out for the day. but
invited him to go to the studio and
seek his umbrella. He went there and
found il. but also took the opportunity
Of having one more look at the picture
which had been finished" for his spe-
cial benefit the day before. and then
he saw that the little dab OF wet paint
which Whistler had 30 dramatically
put on he had afterward scrupulously
wiped on againl-Frederick Keppel in

Hidden water supply.

The investigation Of a neglected
spring or riyulet may bring to light a
valuable supply Of water for gardening
OF domestic purposes. A surprising
quantity is often obtainable by in
stalling a ram at some seemingly in
significant source. A ram is cheap. be
cause the first expense is the last there
being no cost of maintenance, and il is
satisfactory. because the ram requires
no attention. Once started. II takes
entire care Of itself.-Country Life In

Cart. P. P. Gaillard, died at his
home at Providence shortly after noon
Friday, the 26th inst. aged sixty-one
years after long and painful illness.
His wife, three sons and one daugh-
ter survive him.
He was formerly county treasurer OF
Sumter, was Democratic county chair
man for several terms and was post
master of this city during Mr. Cleve-
lands second term.
AS a boy of eighteen he entered the
Confederate army as a private in Gen.
johnson Hagood's brigade and at
nineteen was captain of his company.
He served with conspicuous gallantry
throughout the war and in peace was
straightout Democrat, trusted and
loved in Sumter county. He had
many friends in other parts of the
State. The funeral and interment
will take place at the Episcopal
Church, near Bradford Springs, at 12
O'Clock tomorrow.
Capt. Gaillard will not soon be for
gotten, for he was one cf those strong
forceful characters that make deep
impression upon the recollections of
all with whom they are associated.
In speech and manner he was often
rough and brusque but no man had a
kinder heart, was more generous or
was truer and more loyal to his
friends. He was always outspoken
and candid, his friends or enemies
were never left in doubt as to his SEN
siments, and be served his friends
With the same zeal that he fought his
opponents. Taken all in all, he was a
man, and gentleman, his faults were
the faults of manly man who lived
and fought in the open. and of the
sort that are not easily forgotten.
His friends loved him, and his place
in their affections can never be taken
by another, for We shall not look
upon his like again.

The Florence Zouaves.

One of the most pleasing features OF
Thursdays prog ramme was the exhi-
bition drill by the Florence Zouaves,
a company Of little girls, between the
ages of 6 and Ii years, commanded by
Capt. Hartwell NJ. Aver, editor of the
Florence Times. The drill could not
be given in the forenoon as was an
ticipated but was given at the ball
park during the intermisssion be-
tween the first and second halves Of
the foot ball game.
Although somewhat abashed in the
presence of 1000 people who vocifer-
ously greeted their appearance. the
Zouaves gave an exhibition drill that
was one of the best features of the
entire carnival. After goiug through
the field movements and the manual
of arms in a way which elected praise
from old tacticians, the Zouaves
started upon fancy figures, which
made the militia dizzy. but the stern
command of the referees whistle an
uounced the renewal of bostilities on
the gridiron and the Zouaves marched
off proud in the appreciation Of all the
vast crowd
The Zouaves were costumed in at
tractive uniforms of red and white
and their armament consisted of
spears which were handled with much
grace The young ladies of Capt.
Ayers command we're: Misses Marie
