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

Brains and Good Department a Win
ming Combination.
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
if you haven't the manners of a gentle
man nobody is going to appreciate
:, on. Your manner is the outward in
dica ton of what you are within in the
estimate Of most people, and if 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
porcupiAe Quills as his manners 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 unilnportant questions and
promptly employ or dismiss him: 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 ~. 'pners. and if he is brass
on the surface they don't look for gold
within.
The employer knows that if an appli-
cants manner strikes him favorably it
will also favorably strike people with
whom he comes in contact in his work.
And nobody knows better than a big
business man that favorable first inn
preston means half the sale. People are
apt to think that if there is any place
where manners are of little consequence
it is in business. where cold calculation
so largely takes the place Of feeling.
But the truth is that nowhere else are
manners of such importance as 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
fit him. If he has brains the world
owes him something, but unless he has
good manners he will have hard time
collecting it.-kansas City World.

A WHISTLER PICTURE.
The Dramatic Manner Of Its Finish
and an ARticlima1.

The Dramatic Manner OF 1ts Finish
and an Anticlimax.
Whistler was one day visited by "a
foreign artist, an old acquaintance
with whom Whistler had not as yet
ouarreled. 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 ones. Don't look at
it, dear boy" said Whistler airily, .'its
not finished" "Finishedp' said the
visitor. "Why, it is the most carefully
finished picture Of yours that / have
ever SEEM Don't look at it"' per-
sisted Whistler. You are doing in
justice to yourself, you are doing in
justice to my picture, and you are DO
ing injustice to mep' The visitor looked
bewildered, when Whistler, in a the
atrical tone, cried out: "Stop! I'll finish
it now!' Then he procured a very
small camers hair brush, fixed it on
long and slender handle, mixed little
speck of paint on his palette. dipped
the tip of his brush into it, and then,
standing off from his picture and with
the action of fencer with his rapier,
he lunged forward and touched the
picture in one spot with his pigment.
Nov it's finished" said he. Now you
NAV look at it." This was all highly
dramatic. and indeed very we'll acted
but. as in the case Of some stage plays.
the final act of Whistier'S performance
proved to be an anticlimax. The for
eign artist took his leave, but. findlng
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 so to the studio ana
seek his umbrella. He went there ana
found it, 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 pant
which Whistler had so dramatically
nut on he had afterward scrupulousiy
wiped off again!-Freder;ck Keeper ID
