COMMUNICATION.

Mr. Editor:-
 The following are qualifications for Clerks and Sslesmen in mercantile establishments, who are always in de- msnd. with some reasons why:
 lst- Real. live, interest in the work and success of the business Nc person can be highly efficient in any line or avocation without taking in terest in its.success-
 21i. Industrious. There is always needed work to be dore.
 5rd. Intelligent. courteous and cheerful. These traits bring sunshine and life into place of business. ever on dark and stormy days.
 4sh. Artistic and inventive ability. To introduce new attractions and fea- lures, 10 cut down expense and in- crease profitable business.
 5sh. Strict integrity and loyalty to the employer. For known reasors.
 6sh. Genuine courtesy to all. de Foid of undue familiarity or a patro. nizing air, with such expressions a: well squire" or ''colonein or cap tain" or "whas will you have" ol what can I do for you:" Especiall! when used by youlg men or boys, fgiris are 10. So rude. In addressing n en Of more mature years, the! never attract customers. and the air of importance with the utterance often disgusts the would De customer, and turns away trade.
 7th. Temperance. In language a; we'll as in other indulgences. Nc clerk or salesman in place of public business should indulge in language that would displease pr in any va! offend any person. and the use of to- bacco about a store or public place, during working hours. Smoking i: especially abhCrreus to many, attract i've 10 10 one, and dangerous and dirty habit, as tobacco mixed with sugar. for instance. which is likely tc oe imagined. if not real. is not likel. 10 increase patronage. The fumes of liquor are iutolerable.
 .sb- Systematic and punctual. i good clerk who takes proper interest in his work will systematize it so a: 10 make the most of every move. be prompt to begin each days work, fill orders and appointments and meets all engagements strictly on time. And the invaluable salesman is not the one ~hO is continually cutting prices, but one who, by attractive methods and a strict adherance to fair treatment, constantly tries to handle goods of real merit. and makes a continual study of how best to induce the public to psironize him. The cutting ot prices on goods below legitimate profit means loss 10 the dealer, and consequent loss of position to his help, ard is the sure road 10 bankruptcy as DO one can have monopoly on the practice.
 In. short. the desirable clerk and salesman must be q perfect gentleman. intelligent. temperate. cheerful, in ambitious, ingenious. honest and never insoIent or arrogant.

 In good times there is no excuse for not paying the grocer cash or at least for not settling with him at the end of each month. As times grow better he should be one of the first to receive consideration in paying up old debts. For he is dealer in necessi- ties and his stock is constantly going out. Give the grocer square deal aud it will be better for you and for him.

l SQUARE DEAL FOR THE
 GROCER.

Pay your grocer and pay him promptly. This is the text of 8 unique advertisement appearing in an eastern daily, and there is much good sense, hard in i,.
 The grocer is the provider of the necessities of life. People must eat in good times and in bad, and it is the grocer who hands over the sup plies. In good times the grocer gets heis pay-UsoalIy. In hard times he often does nos. Yet the grocer must go on handing out his goods week after week and month after month 10 deliBOueDts, running a big risk O re- tain future paying patronage, al though he himself must meet his pay n,ents promptly or suffer failure. If he is forced into bankruptcy, it is those Hh0 are loudest in saying /: Isn't is too ba3-be was such nice man to deal with" who are directly to blame. Had they paid up promptly and regularly or done a cash business. ihe nice man 10 deal with would have continued mice" and also prosperuos. The supplies sOId by the grocer are for immediate consumption. Natural ly they should be paid for immediate ty. sIany articles bought for the household have their use spread o1i over weeks, or monbs or years. There is furniture, for instance. The deal ers ID this often take payment on the ;sgsa,;1.cnt plan. If the inssaIIments are not paid, lbe furniture can be talk

NOT COINS TO CONVENTION

arrives at his destination in Wisconsin
and consults his friends 1t will not be de-
termined who is to present his name to

Mr.. La Toilette does not intend to at

no statement whatever about an alleged
alteration in the Congressional Record.
covering the report OF the proceedings of
against time TO defeat the currency bill.
The report has gained circulation that
the transcribed stenographer's notes of
Fridays proceedings show that an ink
line was drawn through several words
on the typewriter page. which changed
the meaning TO enable the Vice President
to hold that Mr. La Toilette mad spoken
twice on the same legislative day on the
currency bill and therefore could be
ruled off the floor by following a long
forgotten precedent.
Rumor has it that the Wisconsin sena-
tor is preserving the transcription Of the
stsnographer's notes with view to call
fall the correction made in ink and ask
ing who Is responsible for it,
Mr.. La Toilette refused today either to
confirm or deny the story.

TESTIFY FOR the DEFENSE
EXPECTS STATEMENTS IN THE
LAND FRAUDS CASE.
Express Opinions as to Elizabeth
Dimond Signatures Contrary to
Claim Of Prosecution.

Handwriting experts called by the de-
Tense occupied the witness stand during
all of the session this morning in the
trial of Hyde. Benson. Dmondi Schneider
land frauds conspiracy case before Jus
tice Stafford in Criminal Court, No. L. The
disputed Elizabeth Dimond'' signatures,
which are claimed by the government to
be forgeries to land applications origi-
mating In the Office of f. A. HYDE in San
Francisco and which have been one OF
the most important features of the case
were in the foreground the whole time.
BY j. +. Sherman. a professional hand
writing expert from Wichita. Kan. United
States Attorney Baker offered Testimony
to the effect that the disputed signatures
closely resembled Mr.. Hyde.s own hand
writing as shown in an admitted standard.
Mr.. Shearman was also of the opinion
that one set of Elizabeth Dim,ond'' letters
Was written by one person and anot her
set by another person.
Exactly the opposite view was taken by
David NJ. kinderberger paying teller at
RIGGS National Bank. and Charles F..
Bright. paying teller at the Metropolitan
National Bank. who qualified as experts
for the defense. Both expressed their
conviction that all Of the Eliza beth Di-
mond signatures were written by one
hand. and they declared the signatures
were SO nearly identical that ha ving one
as standard. they would not hesitate to
cash checks upon them if Elizabeth Dr.
mond' happened TO be a depOsi1or al their
banks.
Much depends upon the effort of the
government to convince the jury that the
Dimond signatures were forgeries and
that some Of them must have been writ
ten BY F. s. Hyde. because the Elizabeth
Dimond cases are practically the only
ones on which dependence can be placed
TO substantiate the claim made by Assist
ant Attorney General Pagh In his open
ing exposition Of the case that many Of
the land applications were wholly fraudu-
lent.
