the Pinkerton man employed by
the Town.
Now, as to that letter mailed
by the detective while in jack
son. to the Mcmahon Agency IN
New Orleans, reported as having
been received, unsealed, at New
Orleans postofice, I will simply
say that if I were to take the
risk of opening letters addressed
to a detective agency, by a de-
tectiye who was supposed to be
trying to find violations OF the
law at my own postotfice, l Woulo
he very careful to seal up that
letter again, and in such a way
that it would stay sealed, and rel
|ouire a very smart detective to
find it had been opened. lhls
letter may have been either accl-
dentally or otherwise sealed IN
such a manner that the rough
handling and knocking around In
: the mail pouch would be found
open. This is a great deal more
probable than that a postmaster
who was guilty of so serious
! violation of the law as opening
i. letter, would fail to carefully con
!. ceal all evidence of the crime
from the detective against whom
it was committed, and who wa
d hunting for violations OF the Law
t. at this Office.
II The very fact that the. lette
II was received open is pretty goo
. evidence that I did not open Il

Waterman of the 21st, there was
an article by the Mcmahon De-
tective Agency of New Orleans
relative to the Jackson anony'
nous letter case and shooting
which took place at the residence
Of DR.. McKowen. This article
hints that I must have had some
guilty knowledge of the letters
because 1 have often been able to
recognize same, and inform the
parties, to whom they were ad-
dressed, that they were anony-
nous. They seem to think THIS
knowledge suspicious when ap'
piled to the case Of a certain Doc
tor who receives, through this
office, twenty or thirty letters
day. Since they have selecteo
this case as the most remarkole
one I will explain how easy 1t
was to recognize the anonymous
character of the letter addressed
this Doctor and to the others
who received them on the same
day. Ten of these letters were
mailed at the same time, in ex-
Iactlv the same kind of envelopes
each marked in exactly the same
way and in the same spot. Each
was addressed in the same hand
writing, a rough scrawl. The
first one was delivered to Mr.
| Steve Slocum, to whom it was
addressed. His store being right
across the street from the post
: Office, he received it in the early
n part of the day.
j Opening the letter near the
a office, he found it to be an anony'
nous one, and publicly ex'
: hibited it right there. This was
g done also, by others who receiv
i ed theirs during the day. AL
d proved to be written in the same
. handwriting and were, substan
TALLY, of the same import. The
letter addressed to the Doctor
referred to was delivered to mi
employee in the morning, whel
[ he came to the Office to FORWARD

THE MAN AND HIS JOB.

II ought TO be tho easiest thing in
tho world for good salesman to Sc
cure the position ne wants, because
the task calls into play the same fac
ultles he has to use 10 selling goods.
In applying for a position, a sales
maa's experience and ability are his
line, his references and personality,
his samples, and prospective employ
ers his trade. Employers appreciate
this fact and when engaging statesmen
are guided very iargly by the i'm
preston a man makes on them, be-
lieying that II he can sell his ability
TO them be can sell their goods. How
over. many men with excellent re-
cords fall down miserAbly when 1t
comes 10 selling their own ability.
They may be able TO get some sort
OF a position, but they do not get the
opportunity for which they are best
fitted or which pays them all they
are capable OF earning.
Frequent change either OF employ
ors or lines is the most serious mis-
take any salesman can make. on the
road today are many men who might
be earning twice what they are II
they had stuck 20 one line but they
allowed a slight increase In salary to
tempt them to change, and have lived
10 rue the day. Acquaintance in a
given territory, familiarity with some
high-grade line, and the confidence
OF the trade are 4 salesmans great
est assets, and eevry change lessons
their value.
or course times will come when
changes are necessary. but they
should be made only after the most
careful deliberation and with a view
to establishing connection that will
he permanent In making a change
the salesman will consider carefully
the standing OF firms, how they treat
their customers. II their goods are
] we'll known, and how much advertis.
ing they are doing, No salary should
be large enough TO tempt him to take
out. through q territory where he il
known, a line OF unreliable goods
and thus destroy the confidence OF
mis- old customers in his good faith
II Is better 10 stay where you are un'
less you can effect change that
will result in your permanent better
ment.

In the vicinity where the writer
lives representatives. Of foreign
grocery house oanvassed for supplies,
and bill OF goods which one Of their
customers bought. which was later
put on exhibition, contained several
eye openers. One OF these was the
fact that the unsuspecting buyer had
paid 9S cents per pound for cheap
tea that was not worth a cent more
than 80. The same order included
thirty pounds OF soda at about the
same price that 1t would sell for at
the local grocery store, but there
was enough OF It to last for four or
five years. The same bill of goods
which the peddler asked Sal for
could have been bought on tick at the
local grocery for $32, and for $27,50
II cash had been paid. as 1t was to the
lpeddler. The experience which these
buyers had would seem to suggest
the wisdom OF at least giving the
home merchant an opportunity TO bid
on bill of goods before It is given
to the representative of the foreign
house.-Sherman Daily Democrat.
Not a particle OF sympathy is to be
shown or felt for such people, who
desert local tradesmen and get har-
pooned by foreign houses. 1t will
teach them a good lesson and such
expensive experiences as the one
above mentioned will eventually
bring them to their senses.
