THE DIAMOND DRILL
ny MORTALITY a. cONLON,
CRYSTAL FALLS. MICHIGAN.
Mnnnerr in Buslness.

For the average man success ire
quently depends more upon his man
ner and appearance than upon his
knowledge OF his trade or business.
or, as one might say, OF his profession.
A Chicago newspaper has lately been
noting some failures and their causes.
II cites the case OF one man who
was successful salesman In busi-
ness house in Chicago. but was un-
able 20 get any custom when sent on
the road. The general manager OF the
business went 70 lunch with him one
day. 20 talk over the matter. The man
crumbled crackers into his soup until
Il was thick, and then ate the mixture
from the end OF his spoon In great
mouthfuls. When the meat was served,
he shoyeled It In with his knife, and
had finished eating and was noisily
picking his teeth almost before the
manager had begun his meal. In re-
ply 10 question. he told the man-
ager that he always took his GUS
toners out TO lunch. and used every
method 10 win their confidence and
friendship" The manager then said.
You couldn't sell me a stick of gum.
No man whose personal habits are SO
obtrusiyely vulgar Is yours could have
the slightest influence with me. Had
i lunched with you before sending you
on the road, would never have dts
graced our house by giving II such
representative" These words hurt.

pronted by them. and to-day 10 one
OF the most gentlemanly As well as
one OF the most successful statesmen
on the road. Another case citod is
that OF a minister whose unrefined
manners annoyed his women relatives.
They tried 10 help him. but he re-
eented their suggestions. and men lass
able intellectually. but with more OF
the graces Of refinement in their man
ners. were called 70 the opportunities
for service In the pulpits OF the large
and influential churches. They used
10 teach manners in the old days. Now
there is little formal instruction. II
youth does not learn good manners
at home, he has to pick them up when
he gets out into the world, or else be
handicapped. Great geniuses have
commanded respect In spite OF bcor-
ishness, but II is never safe for
young man TO assume that he Is
genlns.

Political biography.

A new study has been added 70 the
curriculum OF certain American coli
leges II Is Anown as political geo.
graphy and Is defined as the study OF
geography in relation to political and
social institutions. To teach economic
subjects, as we'll as otner university
branches a knowledge of elementary
geography Is required. II was found
that many students. though primed
with Greek and latin. lacked any
thing approaching familiarity with
this old-fashioned study. Hence the
invention OF political Biography. Tho
elementary side is taken up and, In
connection with this, emphasis Is laid
upon an explanation OF hiw each coun-
try studied came to be a separate. dis
tinct country; upon ia political In
stiutlons and the geographic inilu-
ences that have affected them, and up
on tho present political problems Of
paramount interest I'm connection with
each OF the countries studied. The
world events OF the past two years
have greatly assisted In making the
course interesting. This year. while
the class was studying Great Britain.
the Irish question was agitating Brit
ish politics; In the study OF France.
the great question OF separation OF
church and state came up for discus
sion. the interest OF the class in Nor
way and Sweden was enhanced by the
events that have led 10 the separation
OF Norway from Sweden; the Balkan
question has been at the forefront for
a few months past and for two years
the great Russo-Japanese war has
made tho study OF Russia and Japan
OF especial interest.
