Business Qualities.

There are many qualities necessary
to success in modern business life:
but there is none of more Importance
to a man holding a position of respon-
sibility than the power to make a
plain, straightforward, business-like
statement, either by speech or in writ
ing. The quality of f1uency is not so
much what is required as the qualities
of accuracy and clearness, definite
ness and brevity, tact and judgment,
writes Prof. w. Ripper, in Technics.
If we are not clear and precise 1t Is
certain that those who listen to us
will be no more clear, when We have
finished, than we are ourselves-prob-
ably much less so. We must have no
vague and misty ideas about the sub
ject, but they must be crystallized and
definite. These qualities Of our
thought and speech, however, cannot
be left to chance. They are attended
as the result of effort, of careful and
independent thought on the subject for
ourselves, of looking at 1t from many
points of view, and thus satisfying
ourselves and those who listen to us
that we thoroughly understand what
we are talking about. 1t clears ones
own mind in thinking out a subject to
talk It over with a colleague, or to
write out a statement of 1t, or to die
tate 1t to q shorthand writer. Having
decided what to say, and having prop
erly arranged 1t, the last point Is how
to say It. The first essential is to speak
distinctly, then to be natural, straight
forward, lucid; neither to strive after
effect nor to ex~aggerate, but to give
the impression that we are ourselves
convinced OF the cogency and force o.
| our own contention.

New York.-On the great East side
of this wonderful metropolis, waere
the innocent foreigner naturally drifts
on his arrival in America, to seek his

The schatchen pronounced shot
KEN, better known as marriage
broker, is one OF the most curious sur
vivals of ancient orientalism watch
n may find in many a days travel.
He is a busy, prosperous man, with
a good business and a large following
of clients, and he has developed his
ancient and picturesque trade along
the modern lines of commercial Amer
lea, but withal he remains the sctat-
chen-the matchmaker, the tratficker
in young men and maidens, the indie
~fatigable, serene, ~obsequious, popular
marriage broker.
In the heart of the "rogues' dis
trict," where the criminals of all
the schatchen finds his best work
ground. Here it is that he plies his
trade and wins his gains, rightful OF
otherwise. And here it is that his
good faith brings a queer, pathetic,
manufactured happiness, even rs his
treachery brings suffering and shame.
For good or for i'll, he is a curious and
mighty power in the Yiddish quarter,
thus schatchen, agent of matrimony,
broker in men and women, buyer and
seller of lives.

In older days and older lands the
schatchen wore the dull red and
green and russell robes of the orient,
he jingled with chains and ornaments,
or slipped on silent feet into the
dwellings of the east; in this city he
has a card printed stating that he
deals in real estate, and is also a
business broker"
Business broker means but one
thing in the part of town particu-
ularly affected by the schatcnen,
Everyone knows what his business is,
and he carries on an excellent trade.
The schatchen is almost invariably
of one type. He is not very tall; he is
bearded; p~atriarchal and intensely
Yiddish. He walks silently and
watches every chance passerby with
eyes that are both furtive and keen.
He slips in and out of places almost
without making his presence felt.
When he speaks it is with a marked

SHERLOCK HOLMES
DETECTIVE STORIES
The Original Conan Doyle Stories
Which Brought Fame and Fortune
How in Minneapolis Journal.

That sterling daily, the Mime.
apolis Journal, has just begun the
publication of the famous original
Sherlock Holmes stories, probably
the greatest detective stories ever
written. They are being published
at the rate Of one Il week, and each
one fills all entire page of the issue.
Each one is an entire story in itself
Of how the great detective solved
some strange and inexplicable crime
mystery. Each is of the most alb
sorbing interest and is supposed
to be told by Sherlock Holmes
friend and admirer, DR.. Watson.
Conan Doyle is perhaps the most
famous Of English story-tellers and
first won fame,by these very stories.
So great was the demand for these
adventures of the detective whom
he had conceived, that the author,
after writing enough Of them to fill
three volumes, was forced in sheer
desperation to kill Sherlock Holmes
off in the thrilling adventure de-
scribed as THE Final Problem:
Recently, tempted by a big offer,
he made the great mistake of bring
ing Sherlock Holmes back to life
and writing more stories of him.
These are held by good Judges to
be far below the original stories in
merit. It is the original advent
ures that r appearing exclusively
in the Minneapolis Journal, the
great daily of the great Northwest.
No other paper in this section has
or can get them. Try the Journal
for three months-only a dollar
and get the best daily printed in
the Northwest.
