he is slow, and where much physical

When 1t Does Not Pay to Smile.

WnSn IL Does mo ray 10 Onlies
Salesmanship, whose aim it is to
instruct statesmen in the art of selling
things, remarks %editorially that IF
you cannot learn to smile you cannot
learn to SELL" Now, we are willing
to agree that a happy disposition is a
very essential quality for a salesman
to have. But, taken literally, the
statement is not true. Perhaps IS per-
cent of successful statesmen sell goods
with a smile and find that it pays.
But on the other hand, there are Is
percent, or more, who scarcely ever
indulge in a smile while waiting or
customers.
Take, for example, m of the
women who make up the highest class
of city trade-the kind that drives up
to a shop in a swell turnout, enters
likesa queen, snubs the floorwalker,
seats herself in a comfortable seat
and looks around i~mpatiently to be
waited on. If you know much about
selling this class of trade you know
that if you smile benignly, and per-
haps 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 catered
to you will find statesmen who are
expert at handling it. They sell eV-
ening slippers, carriage boots, riding
boots, leggings, etc, with a cold polite
ness that would drive away an or
binary shopper.
There are times and places for ev-
e%rything, 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
thu. is, if you expect to sell to her

Dress Clothes for Foreign Travels.

Dress Clothes for Foreign Travels.
Here's a tip for you," said the man
who has travelled to the one who is
about starting for the other side.
Take your evening clothes, but if
you are travelling light, leave your
frockcoat suit at home. Even the
Englishman of fashion no longer 0
siders it absolutely necessary to ap.
pear in the daytime in his frock coat
and silk beaver. For myself, a good
serge is the thing in which to knock
about the Continent. The man who
takes his frock and leaves his swallow
tail at home is out of his reckoning.
Over there at dinner, even in what
we'd call a cheap lunch joint here,
you'll find plenty of men carefully
CARRIED in evening clothes. Dinner is
a ceremony to dress for, even though
one be not rich.'-Philadelphia Rec

FILIPINOSs
Our School System Promises to
Bear Fruit,

~@A ~JSHS'A S1''SS
Bear Fruit.
The average Filipino does not take
kindly to manual work. The tropical
climate and his past education are
all against him, and it would be al
most surprising if things were other
than they are. Four centuries Of
Spanish misrule have left a lasting
impression on the natives of the
Philippine Islands and that hand labor
is degrading and that any one earn
ing his living by this means much
from the standpoint of a Filipino.
This prejudice against honest work
must be made in the industrial world.
1t is hoped that this will be accom-
plished by the industrial trade schools
now established or to be established
throughout the archipelago. The
Spanish Government attempted to do
something in this line, and in March,
1891, a school of arts and trades was
established in Manila and about the
same time another in Iloilo. Elabor-
ate courses were laid out on paper,
and at first schools Were crowded,
but owing to the fact that suitable ia
cilities were not provided, that up
plies were not forthcoming, and also
because of the natural Indifference
of the natives to e1ertion, the school
languished and was of little practical
value. A school CT agriculture was
established even earlier than the
trade schools, but this also was more
or less of a failure, as were the
others.
In the act establishing an educa-
tiona1 system in the archipelago by
the Americans, money was appropri-
ated for a trade school in Manila.
This school secured a few carpenters
tools and began to work in a very
limited way on January I, 1902. A
month later classes in telegraphy
were established. Great apportuni-
ties await the educated Filipino in
all branches of industry, and as soon
as he is capable of filing them good
positions will be open to him. One

the Filipino has great opportunity

ITO South Carolina" she gasped.
"oh, Edward"
my dear child, the journey will be
a mere bagatelle! One need not mind
travel nowadays. / shall not be later
than January in returning"
Butt may go with you?" she said,
timidly.
You! Don't think of it, my dear.
My travel will necessarily be too rap
i'd to incumber myself with a lady COM
| panion. l must go and come with the
greatest speed"
Fay sat silent with a blur before her
| eyes, and a sickening sensation of de-
spair at her heart. He cared no more
for the society which Cnce had been so
dear to him.
ooh, what have | done to forfeit the
love he once poured out so fondly on
my life!" she said to herself, time af-
ter time.
1t was a pleasant October twilight,
when the merchant, wrapped in his
overccat, and his travelling cap pulled
down over his eyes, paced up and down
the deck of the steamer Nautilus, heed
less of the tumult Of weighing anchor.
Through the dusk he tried vainly to
catch one more glimpse of the spires OF
the city that held his young wife.
"She will be happy enough without
me-" he told himself bitterly. She
babe me adieu without a tear, and it
may be that my continued absence may
teach her to think less coldly of me
Dear little Fay. my prayers may
reach you even there"
A tear dropped on Mr.. Winthorpe's
cheek as he went below. On reaching
his stateroom he was infinitely sur
prised to find that it was not empty.
A lady sat with a yelled face and
dropping head. Edward Winthorpe
paused in surprise-the figure rose up,
and threw aside the veil, revealing the
starry blue eyes and pale face of Fay
herself!
Forgive me, Edward" she sObbed,
throwing herself into his arms. Il
could not let you go alone. When |
thought of your being away, perhaps
i'll, among strangers, l thought I
should go mad. Hate me if you will,
but I love you, my husband-I love
you so that l cannot live without you!"
And she burst into a flood of tears.
"My sweet spring blossom-my love
my wife! Evermore, as now, close
close to my heart will l keep thee"
And that was all he said. But Fay
Winthorpe had learned the secret of
love.-New York Weekly.

coNvIcIs GET THE NEWS.
But How They Learn What Is Going
on Is "a Puzzle 10 Prison
Authorities.

How prisoners. communicate with one
another is one Of the mysteries Of the
state prisons, says the New York Sun
Here is an incident that occurred at
Dannemora illustrative of the sort OF
thing which sometimes stumps the pris-
on officials Warden Deyo was ap-
pointed the head Of the big jail in the
Adirondacks something less than
year ago. The place had been vacant
for awhile, and of course there had been
good deal of interest at Dannemora
in the identity Of the new warden. Mr..
Deyo got his appointment in Albany.
and within an hour after It was made
every convict at Dannemora knew
about H. This seems impossible, but
Mr. Deyo himself Is authority for the
absolute truth OF the story.
The way the keepers first learned that
the convicts had this news is interest
ing. Even In an institution Of iron dis
cipline. like Clinton prison, there are
certain old convicts who have been in
for so many years that they are 70 the
jail what TRUSTEES are to a city prison
like the Tombs One of these TRUSTEES
said 70 a keeper:
"Is the new warden a hard man?"
Now, the Keeper to whom this was
addressed hadn't even heard Of Mr-
Deyo's appointment He was surprised,
and asked what the convict meant
why" said the old man. Mr.. Deyo
IS the new warden. He was appointed
to-day"
1t didn't take the keeper long TO find
cut that what he had just heard as news
was known then. and had been for some
little time. to every one Of the 1000
prisoners in the jail. It was only short
time before this conversation that the
news had reached the jail. and how II
got into the shops and workyards no
one knows. But it did travel like light
nirg
When Mr. Deyo arrived at the jail to
take charge the convicts knew he had
come. although the railroad station is
some little distance from the prison.
The keepers say that they knew just
what train he was coming by. and knew
IN the shops the minute he got inside the
prison walls
The amount Of information these
prisoners obtain without any known
means Of obtaining it Is staggering TO
the ordinary mortal.
