SALESMdN MADE EXAMPLE,

Pittsburg, the home of the steel makers, also
possesses a manufacturer of pickles who has
attracted much attention by individual business
methods. He has statesmen all over the country,
and a year he sends out invitations to
general convention of his agents. which is held
at the Pittsburg factory
This convention in session a few weeks
ago. when the salesman of elevator construc-
tion firm called on the head of the pickle house.
For half hour the young elevator salesman
talked in most interesting and persuasive
manner. The pickle manufacturer was OBJ
viously pleased, and the sale seemed sure.
Young man. said the old manufacturer,
that's most convincing talk you've given me.
l wonder if 1 could get you to repeat it to my
statesmen, who holding meeting here?"
The elevator salesman, feeling sure that he
had made a sale, consented, and for another half
hour he talked his incest to audience of sew

Nearly all the women who sent to the re-
formatory have been irregular in their habits Of
life. In many cases they have become nervous
wrecks. Miss Davis believes that by putting
them at work in the open air she is establishing
a sound physical basis for more stable life
after they leave the reformatory. The physical
labor makes them healthy, tired and hungry.
This means that they will enjoy the wholesome
food and sleep soundly, besides getting plenty of
fresh air into their lungs. While at work the
women have opportunity to rest when they
feel the need of it. They do not work more than
half day at this kind of toll spending the other
half in the of their rooms, the work in the

embankments, dig bitches, lay cement and con-
struct roads. There is this difference, however
At st. Thomas it is labor for the purpose of
earning a livelihood; at Bedford it is part of
the means of reforming the women.
At Bedford large amount of the constructive
and decorative work outside well inside
the reformatory is done by the inmates There
are only eleven men employed. These include
two engineers, two firemen, a coachman and
three guards. Besides doing all the cooking, all
of the laundry work. taking of their own
rooms and making all of their own garments,
the women decorate the schoolrooms the public
rooms and their private by painting the
walls, making the designs for the borders and
putting them a few days ago the most
elaborate of the designs was put on the wall of
one of the rooms in the reception building. This
was a wreath. The painter shaded each of

performing these various duties they learn

Tread lightly, friends, let no rude sound
Disturb his solitude profound,

Unsought except by men he owes.

That nau't may break his dreamless SLEEP

The quiet that he loved so well.

SHERLOCK holmes AGAIN.
A New Series Of Detective Stories In
the Kansas City Star.

Conan Doyle's detective stories
with marvellous Sherlock Holmes
as their hero, have achieved the
greatest success of recent years.
Approaching this fact the publish
err of Golfers Weekly, New York,
induced Mr.. Doyle to write hnal
series of the great detectives ad-
ventures. Repeated refusals were
followed by increased Inducements
and finally Mr.. Doyle agreed to
write thirteen stories for $4,000, or
about 60 cents a word. The entire
correspondence was by cable. The
amount paid by Golfers is the
largest ever paid for snch work and
does not include the right to pub
lish the stories in book form. BY
special arrangement with Golfers,
these famous stories are being
printed in the Kansas City Star,
one story each week, beginning, in
the daily edition, Saturday, Febru'
airy IL, and in weekly, Wednesday
February Is. None of the present
popular features of the Star will be
cut down or omitted to make room
for this remarkable set of stories.
Practically the contents of Sl.o0
book will be added to the contents
of the Star, in three months, with
out any increase of the subscrip-
ton price, 10 cents week for The
Daily Star (morning, evening aud
Sunday, 10 complete papers week.
and Is cents year for The Weekly
