ner and appearance than upon his
knowledge of his trade or business,
or, one might always say, of his pro-
fession. A Chicago newspaper has
lately been noting some failures
and their causes. 1t cites the case
of one man who was a successful
salesman in business house in Chi
cago, but was unable to get any Gus
tom when sent on the road. The
general manager of the business
went to lunch with him one day, to
talk over the matter. The man
crumbled crackers into his soup un-
til it was thick, and then ate the
mixture from the end of his spoon
in great mouthfdls. When the meat
was served he shoveled it in with his
knife and had finished eating and
was noisily picking his teeth almost
before the manager had begun his
meal. In reply to question, he
told the manager that he always
took his customers out to lunch, and
used every method to win their
confidence and friendship" The
manager then said, lyon couldn't

whose personal habits are so obtru-
sively vulgar as yours could have
the slightest influence with me.

Alfalfa yields 4 to cuttings, a

In other sections of these states
and in Texas as well, the rolling

Land is very cheap. S. to $40 acre;

On account of the recent stock
law, there are no scavengers in town
in the shape Of cows and hogs, and
some of our enterprising citizens
have organized and incorporated
a company and much stock has been
subscribed. They propose to buy
5000 geese and turn them loose in
town to eat up the garbage and clip
the grass and weeds growing rapidly
on our streets and alleys. This
move is commendable and is con-
ductive to the health and happiness
of our city.

how to impress people Of their sins,

A SAMPLE OF "AMERICANISM"

"The sympathy Of San Francisco, so generously dis
played in the time of disaster and trbuatlon ana the
call for which has yet passed, is likely to give way
to harsher sentiments with continuance of japanese
prosecutions. The barring of the japanese children
from the public schools is unworthy of one or the great
est of American cities. '-Spokesman Review.
There is something straight from the heart OF cor
poraon socude for home and country 1t is an utter
ance inspired by absolute disregard for the welfare OF
the people and their children. Only men able
to give their offspring private education think and write
such rot that.
San Francisco is willing to provide separate schools
for the hundreds of Jap men-not children-who are
today trying to crowd in among white pupils Of tender
age. These ntruders lower class Japanese-servans
who work for their board Even the higher classes OF
Japanese know nothing of such thing as female virtue
japanese father, financially embarrassed, puts his
daughter up at auction in wooden and sells her
to the highest bidder No japanese thinks the less OF
him for it. The family and nation accept such transac-
tions right and proper They are taught nothing
different better
In with this the japanese hold other oriental
ideas of morality each sufficient to bar them from
tact with American children. But according to the
statement quoted above to bar these japanese from in
innate association with white infants is unworthy one
of the greatest American cities.''

The Daily Short Story

condition. So she sent the woman
with whom she lodged to the shop
TO discover how matters stood.
That night when Pierre came he
found her in tears.
Il have found you out" she said.
"Oh, how generous and noble of
you to make me think that the
money came from an employer who
is really heartless. But you have
put a great burden on me and now
it is much more necessary that l

There is one way in which you

"You cannot mean that" she
said, weeping for joy. When he re-
peated his words, she said;.

ness of your heart. Yes, I will mar
ny you, but you must wait until l

Her answer filled him with dis
may, and he almost wished that
she might remain blind. for he
could not bear to think OF seeing
her turn away in disgust when she
first beheld his face.
Some time later Pierre called for
Martha one spring Sunday morning
for they were going into the coun-
try together. For the first time
she met him without the bandages
on her eyes. He fancied she gave
slight start when he entered. But
she smiled as he came nearer.
what is the matter, dear?" she
asked. "You are surprised about
the bandage? There is no use
wearing it any longer. The doctor
tells me he can do no more for
me. And, Pierre, will keep you
waiting no longer. If you wish, we
, can be married"
! The wedding took place four
| weeks later. When the ceremony
was over and it came time to sign
the register. Pierre took his brides
hand to lead her to the book. But
she turned away, saying gaily:

she walked straight to the desk
and picked up the pen.

said, smiling at his distress. And
then she whispered:
"Are you quite sure now that

WHEN LOVE WAS NOT BLIND.

She was little brunette, not
over 20, and she had taken shelter
in doorway when the shower
which all gasping Paris had been
waiting for, came at last. The
young man had an umbrella, but
he also found shelter in the door
way.
Just as he entered there came a
vivid fash of lightning and the
girl cried out.
"Merciful heaven." she cried.
Everything is dark. The lightning

He comforted her as gest he
could. 1t was only too true. The
lightning had taken the sight from
her beautiful eyes. At last she
told him her name was Martha Du-
fiou and she was a maker of arti-
fetal flowers. He escorted her to
her home. On the way he told her
he was Pierre earlier, young
bookkeeper. He did not tell her,
however, that he had been a soldier
in the war and that his face was
terribly disfigured by a wound he
had received then, a wound which
had left scar which made him re-
pulsive to women.

The next day Pierre came again
with the cheering statement that
Martha's employer would not only
keep her situation for her, bu,
would pay all her expenses until
she was ready to return.
Three months passed and every
evening saw Pierre at Martha's
lodgings. She had no friend in
Paris and what was more natural
than that she should confide in him
all her hopes and fears. And what
more natural than that they should
fall in love, for Martha was blind
and could not see the disfiguring
scar on his face.
And then Martha became sus
