Common Sense,

A large Minneapolis manufacturing concern, The Pillsbury Co.,, are em- ploying a unique method in advertis- ing their product, "Pillsbury's Vitos, The Meat of the Wheat" in appealing to the Common Sense" of the Ameri- csnpublic.
 Their assertions are modest as con- pared to most of the cereal food adver- tisements of the last few years, but they carry ring of truth. Their req. soning is' certainly rational; here is some of it:
 I've all believe that Wheat is the best cereal the Creator has given man. kind.
 "Pillsbury's Vitos is nothing more nor less than the white heart of this wheat kernel, cut out by steel machin. cry and sterilized-nothing added nothing taken away-no adulteration mo f1avoring-no coloring-no cook ing.
 This product comes to your table in its pure, white, granular form, an appetizing dish for young and old.
 Easily digested because it retains it's granular form when cooked, never lumpy or pasty.
 "A two pound package makes twelve pounds of pure white cooked food, and Pillsbury quality, too. Two generous dishes for one cent.
 We have no competitors because we are the largest millers in the world and get the best wheat. Your grocer will gladly fill your order for Pillsbury' 's vitos because be knows he sells you satisfaction. Vitos is put Ep only in two pound packages-air tight. Price 20c. Don't be without it.

HOW TO SELL GoOpa
Instance in Which Salesman Made q eIo.ooo Sale by Being Alert.

Instance in Which salesman Made a eI6.ooo Sale by Being Alert. In the Worlds Work is a story of good salesmanship. The writer says. At all times the travelling salesman should be quick to see the unexpected opportunity-and 1t might be added that often such an opportunity is brought to light by the impression made upon the customer by a genuine leader" Once bright young salesman went into the office of a Memphis merchant to sell him a bill of cartoons for his arc lights. He was conscious of having a distinct advan. tage in a carbon that he could sell at s11, for which his competitors were obliged to get Sl6.50. You can't sell that carbon for sl1, can youY' in- quired the merchant. Yes, sir; there Is no mistake about It." quietly an- swered the young man. If you feel any question about 1t just let me send you what you need. and If they are not all right in every particular you have only to notify me and l will come here personally and ship them back to the house."
 Well, on that understanding" re- piled the merchant, you may ship me 6,0oO.
 This time 1t was the salesman's turn to be astonished, for this was sensa. tlonal quantity for merchant to buy for his own use.
 May l ask" inquired the young man, "how you are going to use 50 many?"
 Certainly" answered the mer- chant, drawing a set of contracts from pigeon hole of his desk: here are the contracts for s15,000 lighting plant that am going to put In across the street"
 Signed themi" inquired the young man.
 No. but I'm going to tonight" an. swered the merchant, flor I've thrash ed the details of this thing over until I'm sick and tired of them"
 "Now," responded the salesman "I'ye demonstrated to you that I can beat those people all to pieces on the price of cartoons, and I give you my word that can do the same thing on the plant that you propose to put in Put off the signing of that contract until tomorrow night, get on the train with me and go to our plant in Chi- cago and I will show you that I can save you money on equipment"
 The merchant finally agreed, with the result that the salesman who saw this opportunity sold the merchant 8 S15, 900 plant

PLENTY TO TALK ABOUT.

When Jamieson moved out into the country his friends told him he had gone to the place of vast silences.' When he had been there three weeks he boasted that instead of being op- pressed by silence, he could get up an hours conversation over a brass door knob.
 Soon after he moved out. his neigh bor, Thompson, took an ax to the city to have 1t sharpened. Jamieson was pressed into service to bring 1t home. On his arrival he had gone perhaps a quarter of a mile from the station when he met Hiram Jennings, driving a team. Hiram refined in short.
 Evening" he said, casually. That a new ax you got thereT'
 'tNo," said Jamieson. And then, as he noted the brightness of the handle. he added. "Sandpapered, guess"
 T see Thompson taking an ax to town tother day" remarked Hiram.
 "Yes, this is Thompson's ak"
 Wal. want to know! Now whatd he take II 10 town TOT
 ITO get 1t sharpened."
 Took that clear to town to get 1t sharpened:'
 "Yes."
 Huh. Wall What'd It cost him :"
 "Why, ten or fifteen cents, I guess.
 Hiram descended from the wagon, took the ax and swung 1t about his head two or three times. Then he felt of the edge, during which Deacon Will bur arrived.
 Good ax," said Hiram. What dye think, deacon? Thompson took that clar to the city to git it sharpened."
 That's the right way to do," said the deacon. T always take my ax to the city to get 1t sharpened."
 He picked up the a1 in turn and swung 1t.
 Wal. Want to know" said Hiram again. "Now I got an ax down to my place I've been wantin' to git sharpen ed this six months. I guess I'll have to git some feller like Mir. Jamieson here, to take 1t in for me-"
 That's the way to get 1t done said the deacon, feeling the edge This here ax reminds me of one used to use when I was a boy and lived up to Skokievllle."
 He moved over to the wagon, a1 in hand, and leaned against the horse And Jamieson, with visions of wait ing dinner, followed tamely after. to listen to a long discussion of the axes of other days, before his was handed back to him.
 "Silences" he said to his wife that night. If there are any silences out here in the country they never seem to be round where I am."-Youth' Companion.

The wood-Shed Party.

Mamma" said Dorothy, T wish l could have a woodshed party"
 What do you mean by that" an swered Mrs. Spear, in some wonder.
 Why" explained Dorothy, "all the girls in my class have said they just love to play out in nice wood-shed, where there are lots of shavings and smooth boards and hammers and"
 Just like ours. in fact" laughed Mrs. Spear. T think 1t would be nice idea
 Then we'll have it," decided Doro- thy, and 1t must be on a stormy day, because we like to hear the rain pat ter down-it seems so cozy."
 T think it can be managed said mother. I've must try to interest papa in the matter. think there must be little picking up done"
 That evening Dorothy sat up half hour later than usual, preparing her invita- ations The following morning ten little girls found on their desks Il square of white birch bark, to which dainty card was fixed by two tiny bows. On the card were these words
 You are cordially invited to a "Wood-Shed Party at Dorothy Spears, on the first rainy Saturday afternoon. at two o'clock"
 A long spell of fine weather" was patiently passed by the eager girls. and at last came a rainy Saturday. Never was stormy holiday so gladly wei comed, and at two o'clock ten little cloaked figures came In damp line to- ward the house.
 Wet wraps were left In the kitchen, and then the children trooped out to the great, roomy shed.
 Dorothy's father was a ship-builder, and in his leisure he often worked upon some small boat in the shed.
 So when the guests came out, they saw first a nice, warm stove in one corner in which birch bark was snap ping comfortably; next the good sized body of a sailboat, resting on blocks, to the inside of which led a short step-ladder.
 In the boat were stools and cush- ions, and on Its deck sat Dorothy's whole family of dolls in holiday dress.
 The girls glanced about and exam ined all the good points of the craft, and said there was almost water enough outside to sail 1t.
 The logs of wood had been rolled up in such a way as to make a gradual flight of stairs to the top of the wood pile, where a nat board was standing. Each guest was asked to run up the stairs and drive a nail in the board There was a prize, in the shape of a dainty birch bark bonbon box tied with baby ribbon, for the one who could drive a nall without striking off."
 There were whole barrels of clean white shavings. from which they pick ed the longest and arranged on their heads for curls.
 At four o'clock came the refresh ments, part of which was ice cream served in little brich bark cups

YOUNG HAS A BOMB.
Declares Officials Knew Bennington

A dispatch from San Francisco. Cal. Lass
night says: Friends OF Commander Luciel
Young of the gunboat Bennington have no
apprehensions regarding the outcome Of
the court-martial that will meet at Mare
Island Thursday to try him on chargea
growing out of the disaster in the bay OF
San Diego. They declare his defense will
be a bombshell in the camp of his accuss
ers and that the charges will react upon
the bureau officials at Washington.
In fact, Commander Young will assert
and his friends say he will have no dffh&
Guilty in proving his assertions. that the
rotten condition of the Benningtons boilers
was we'll known In Washington; that he
had SO reported on numerous OCCASIONS
with the further warning that they were
absolutely unsafe; that his repeated warns
ings were unheeded and that entire respon,
sibility for the tragedy rests primarily with
the naval officials at Washington.
1t will also be proved that tests or the
hoilers showed their tensile strength to be
q per cent, instead of IS per cent, as re-
nuired. and that this fact was also come
municated to Washington.
When the Bennington arrived at San DIE

that lurked aboard his vessel by reason OF
the defective boilers, issued an order that
