A charming affair was the reception
given on board the new cruiser Charles
ton on Wednesday afternoon at Mare
Island and a number of guests went up
from this city. Captain Cameron Wins
low, commander of the vessel, proved
an ideal host and great pleasure was
expressed at the opportunity to meet
this clever officer, who is now here for
the first time. The Charleston came in
for a large share of admiration also,
being especially commodious, and,
whatever the good points of the cruiser
may be- as fighting ship, they were
lost sight of, ia the feminine mind at
least, in its delights as place of en-
tertainment. The deck was decorated
beautifully with flags, and dancing
went on during the afternoon. The
handsome silver punchbowl, presented
by the citizens of the city of Charles
ton to the cruiser, was one of the points
of interest of the afternoon, both be-
cause of it's beauty and of the excel
lent brew of punch contained within.
AS the Charleston will take the place
of the Chicago as flagship of this
squadron, the ship will be in this vicin-
ity much of the time and there is every
prospect that there will be much enter

went up from here to the reception

ABOUT sALESMEN.

Lots of boys doing office and other lightweight duties today want tc eventually become statesmen. It is great occupation. that of selling-Iots in it. and a lot of things to be learn ed before you can get into it and stay.
 Selling has become an art. Its prac- tice is universal. It is one of the two fundamental clements of business. It may be said with absolute truth that there is not a wholesale or retail, or manufacturing house of any kind with out 9 greater or less number of sell ing representative. The tradesman may know what he wants, and he doubtless is aware that he cannot do the maximum amount of business without the proper goods. and yet for some reason which has not yet been fully explained, the chances are that he will seldom order these goods by mail or go after them, but will wait until some travelling salesman has call ed upon him and solicited his trade.
 It would appear to be an unnatural condition of trade that makes it nec- essary for the buyer to be told what he should buy, but whether it be un- natural or not. it remains a fact. The selling of practically everything ex- cept a part of the goods sold over the counter is the direct result Of cOlici- tation, or of what is known as drum ming; and this occupation of solicitor or drummer is one of the foundation stones of commercialism.
 The salesman is one who sells, whether he be proprietor or a wage earner. It is he who represents the firm in presenting the goods, and he is vir tualIy the go-between. The salesman ie- y,ff dc goods on the road or behind the coun- ter, and his remuneration depends up on the perfection of this solicitation.
 The travelling salesman, or drummer as he is commonly called, is one who solicits outside the office or store. He usually earns a higher salary than is paid the counter man, who handles the trade which comes to his store or of fee; and while to be successful the lat ter must possess the abilities of a sO- licitor. yet it is not so necessary that he be so alert and aggressive as the drummer who goes from place for or ders. The real difference between the outside and inside salesman is this: The outside salesman takes the initia- tive, while the customer, to some eN- tent, makes the first move when buy ing goods from the inside salesman.
 1IODdblg t0 per CGliL OI lllt SutCeSS- full merchants and storekeepers began as salesmen, and nearly every promi- nent wholesaler at one time was a drummer. It is certainly common sense to assume that no man can sue cessfully direct the movements of oth CTS unless he has actually done what his employees are called upon to do. True, a man may be an expert at sell ing and not make a good manager of statesmen or a good merchant for some mems selling ability needs the direc- tion of a broader or greater mind. It is also true that some salesmanagers have the actual selling capacity, and cannot successfully meet a customer.
 Ability without the assistance of an encouraging environment. will hinder the boys advancement sometimes; however, not 50 much as less ability within good opportunity. It is ex-

CATS IN PARIS.

Cats in London are often nuisance to the householder when they fight up- on the roof in the middle of the night but in Paris. especially near the Halles Centralles they are said to have be- come a public danger. It appears that these animals swarm in thousands over the markets, and. as most of them are mangy and otherwise diseased, it is feared that they will contaminate the goods set out for sale, so the police have issued an edict that all the stray cats are to be captured and put into a Iethal chamber. and as a consequence the kind hearted market women have adopted many of the cats and now claim them as their own property. But M. Guichard. the police inspector tu chargeof the markets will hear of no mercy and the offending animals are to be slaughtered without delay. The police are to surround the market at night and to carry sacks in which 10 put the captured cats. What is to be done if the cats escape to the roofs is not stated.

ALAS, POOR FINGER TIPsl

If you ask ten people which part of the human anatomy is the most sensi- tive to the touch, nine of them will say "the finger tips"
 They will be wrong. An ivory car ver-and particularly the make- of iv- ory billiard balls-never trusts to the fingers to tell him when he has obtain ed the maximum of smOOthness- An object which feels perfectly smooth tO the fingers or the sole of the foot may be quite coarse to the most sensitive the small patch covering the chetao portion of the human skin--uamely, the small patch covering the cheek bone. You may test this easily for yourself with. say. a knife handle.
 At one period the finger tips certain ly were the most sensitive to the toucn but two extremes resulting from civ ilization have robbed them of their former high value. Today a great sec ton of humanity uses it's fingers in such rough cupatious-bricklayi certain departments of engineering, etc.-that the finger tips have become too hard to be keenly sensitive.
 Strangely enough. the exact OppO- site extreme has had a similar effect During the last century that portion of the wealthy classes which never uses it's fingers for anything harder than handling a silk handkerchief has grown at an amazing rate, and the sensitiveuess of the finger tips in that case have been dulled by non use Black and White.

Thomas Douglas is engaged in en- larging Hyder Bros.e store. The rear partition is being remON ed and new shelving is being built, the increase in business the past year making more room a positive necessity. The new room will be devoted exclusively to hats, and the change gives eighteen feet more room on each side and the full width of the store in the end Since opening up for business in Tempe five years ago, this makes the fifth time that the partition has been moved back and as it now has no fur Jher to go, it is presumed that next year a new addition will be built to the buiIding.

HOME FROM GLOBE.

James Goodwin returned from Globe Monday afternoon, having driven from that place with one horse since Sat urday morning. Mir. Goodwin says that the Roosevelt road is now in splendid shape and still more work is being done on it. While in Liv- irgstOne he met J. F. Sturgeon, wno told an interesting tale of an attempt cd hold-up on him a few nights before while returning from Globe, where he had been on business. He was moving along at a good rate in the dark when a Mexican stopped him and demanded his cash. MT Sturgeon is known as a good talker at all times and alwtys has something to say. This character istic stood him in good stead on this occasion, and with the aid of a bottle of wet goods which he fortunately had procured in Globe before leaving Gin case of an accidenD he managed to talk the Mexican out of his purpose and convinced him that ne carried no money with him on such trips.

THE RIVER BOOMING AGAIN.
More Water Than Since the Novem
 ber Flood.

The rain of Sunday night and Mon day had a bad effect on Salt river and before daylight yesterday morning the stream was booming again. During the day it continued to crawl toward high-water mark and during the af- ternOOn there was considerable more water passing Tempe than there has been at any time since the big flood in November. It is predicted that on account of the heavy rainfall in the mountains east and north of here that there will be still more water passing by this morning. The Gila is also coming up and the bridge crew here received word yesterday from Superintendent BickneU to be prepared to leave for the GiIa bridge at a moments notice.
