turn serious answer even to a seriously
propounded question. 1t is not to be irnag-
ined that either OF them has ever talked
long at stretch about the machine. The
following statement contains the gist of a
number of brief conversations:
ANY man who is physically and mon
tally capable Of running an automobile or
bicycle can learn to run the aeroplane.
There is a certain element OF danger In tho
operation OF the machine, but when every
thing is considered, 1t probably Is as safe
as an automobile at high speed on tho
average road. 1t is not likely that the
aeroplane will ever compete with the rail-
road In passenger traffic. and certainly not
in freight carrying, but there will be a
good many occasions where the aeroplane
will be the superior OF any other vehicle.
Possibly in the course of few years 1t
can be used for the transportation of
first class mail. and for crossing stretches
OF country where wagon OF rail roads are
impracticabe. There Is a field for the aero
plane In sport, but its greatest use at
present is for scouting and other military
purposes"

Sherman understood IL, however. lie

on another occasion General Sherman
said: II believe Howard is a real Chris

Just before the capture OF Savannah Gen

the entire business at any salary the house
can afford to pay. 1t Is a fact that in
some large stores not even the Presi-
dent of the United States has much fnan-
Scial advantage over the store manager.
Now, all this is open to the boy who makes
his first little start as messenger, for as
l have already said. 1t is always TO the
advantage of any store 10 select its execu-
tive heads from the employees when they
show sufficient capacity. 1t would be USE

wrapping parcels in a little American store

previous generations; for he is better

are twenty-five or thirty. respectively. and
within ten or fifteen years afterward 10 be
at the very threshold of the topmost places.
II all depends upon boy making the
best OF his opportunities. which have been
greatly increased during the last few years
by the establishment of real schools in con-
nection with the department stores. These
are not only for the purpose of training a
BOY In the particular things he may need
IN his work. but include the broader phase
OF education in an astonishing degree.
which will make the boy not only good
emp.oye and give him, therefore. more
rapid promotion. but also tend TO improve

known business law that ii is easier for an
employer TO find beginners than experienced

ming messenger or parcel wrapper. a
boy who is ordinarily bright and chock full
OF ambition will not be long in becoming
a full fedged salesman behind one of the
less important counters and earning IS TO
3l2 a week. There are plenty OF cases
where bright boys have been statesmen
within year after entering q department
store as messenger or parcel wrapper. or
course, I am talking of boys who know the
three RS fairly well and long TO know
them better; who are from fourteen to six
teen years old when they begin their life's
work. and who. when they filled out their
applications for employment, were well
recommended by the family physician. the
family minister and other folks whose
word carries weight with big employers.
In most states child labor laws will not
permit boys or girls under fourteen or six
teen years to take up the task Of earning
their daily bread

POSSIBLE there are two pretty distinct lines
OF advancement In department store life
that lead TO the merchandise Kingdoms"
One is the executive end, which has entire
charge Of the business; the other Is the
buying department. There is little choice In
point Of reward, though there is more pub
