Women Working for County
Local Option Greeted With
Praise by Some and Curses
BY Other Citizens.
SALOONIST'S WIFE

And Threw Literature Into
Her Face With vigor.

Many were the experiences and OF
Various kinds that the women. who
made the local option poll of the city
yesterday encountered. At some resi-
dences they were snubbed most un-
mercifully, reviled and even cursed
At others they were treated with the
utmost respect and consideration The
poll proved surprising in the number
Of persons that refused to commit
themselves on their position. In a
number of instances men refused to
answer the questions asked and said
they did so upon the request of their
employers. 1t was claimed the EN-.
ployers had not attempted to coerce
the employees, but had asked that they
refrain from telling their stand, as it
might prove injurious to the business
interests.
! - Woman Was Surprised.
One of the canvassers met with the
most courteous treatment accorded
her at the home of saloon keeper
She was not only treated cordially
but the questions answered without
any hesitation and in a highly respec.
table manner. At another home, it
was found bartender resided. His
wife was equally as kind as the wife
OF the salOonist. For the most part
consideration was shown the poll TAX

without evasion. All voters, who re-
fused to be committed were classed
as doubtful

were afraid they might jeopardize

At some homes, the poll takers were
refused the names of the voters. One
canvasser tells of woman who came
to the door and surmised the object
OF the visit. She twisted her face into
contortions and imme diately drew the
curtain and turned the key.
Despite their unpleasant experien

complish their purpose. Their poll is
incomplete to certain extent. but
they succeeded in leaving the litera

Curiosity That Was Fatal

He found his way into the park, pos
sibly for the first time in his wretched
little life, and prowled on until he
came to an open door. He entered,
shifting, cheered by the conviction
that he was not the only member of
the feline tribe who had been in that
strange place.
Above, and to one side of him, ran a
row of upright bars, and looking
through these he was suddenly over
whelmed with admiration. For there,
standing on all tours, flashing tail, was
certainly the king and ruler of all
cats. He had never seen such a cat
So he made himself very small and
sat still and looked, just as the adage
gave him permission to do, his hunger
forgotten.
It was several minutes before Dick,
the leopard, became aware of the pres
ence of the intruder, and glanced at
the pitiful object crouched on the
floor. Dick did not approve of the
street cat in the least. He glared for
a time and then made arrangements
for one of the terrifying demonstrs-

Feline Street Wait Paid with His Life

That cat may look at king is a
fact in natural and social history that
has the support of the most eminent
authorities and is apparently beyond
dispute, From an incident that oc-
CURED yesterday in Central park, how
ever, says the New York Herald, it
seems likely that the adage was
framed from the standpoint of the cat
and without due regard to the posi-
bility that the king involved might
possibly have ideas of his own on the
subject.
In this instance the cat was name
less. Perhaps at some past stage of
his career he had had a name, but
when he entered upon the scene he
was merely a nondescrfpt street wan
derer, bedraggled and homeless, and
not at all remarkable for anything, un-
less it be that he was gifted with an
unusual amount of curiosity. He has
paid dearly for this last quality.

HOW TO EMPHASIZE,

The busy man must see some impor-
tant points in letter very quickly or
he will not go on to read the letter
through. Not only should the most i'm
portant fact of all be displayed in a
sort of substitute for an advertising
catchline, but the three or four most
important points must be thrown out
into relief by means of emphasis, so
they will be taken in as quickly and
surely as possible.
The things to be emphasized in let
tiers are not adjectives, but facts. In
conversation, where we can compel
the attention of the listener and make
him hear what we have to say, we
place stress on adjectives; but in let
tiers, where we cannot compel atten-
ton, we must place stress on facts
complete in themselves, so that they
will mean something if read without
the context of the letter.
There are three ways of getting en-
phasis on facts:
1. Using very short or sentence par
agraphs.
2. UnderScoring.
8. Capitalizing.
All three of these are often required
in the same letter, for each one loses
it's force if repeated too often One
fact is put in a very short paragraph.
Another is underscored, while third
is capitalized; and then some others
are put in short paragraphs and also
underscored or capitalized, or are
given all three forms of emphasis at
the same time. The good letter writer
becomes very skillful in using all
three of these methods of getting en-
phasis.
The facts emphasized should usually
be the entire series of most important
facts, so that if these emphasized
points alone are read, they will pretty
nearly tell the entire story in out
line. If this outline, easily taken in,
is sufficiently interesting, the reader
will go on and make a careful perusal
of the letter. The emphasized points
are a substitute for the black letter
subhead lines in printed circular or
a newspaper article.
Emphasis is without doubt the most
important element in sales letter writ
ing, and the element least understood.
We see it is quite different from en-
phasis in speaking, since it must serve
in part the office of headlines for the
man who chances.

Poor Hitting by Good Men.

There are some dozen American
league batters who are batting way
below their usual stride. George d.
Wis is batting only OFT, while Strunk,
the young Athletic who batted hard
last fall, has hit only 100, or three
points below Barr, another of Connie
Mack's youngsters. "Rube" Oldring,
still another Athletic, has batted .1O7,
while Hippo" Spencer, the hard hit
ting catcher of the Red Sox, has been
able to hit but ia. Bill Bradley's av-
erage is only 100, while here are some
other marks: Atz, Isl; Parent. .155;
Street, 1852; Clymer, 1874; Mcconnell,
1873; Hemphill, .1S9; Wagner, $50.

HOW TO COLLECT MONEY BY
LETTER.

More and more all collections are
being made by letter. In strictly To-
cal business, where the customer is
being called on at frequent intervals,
the personal collector goes around;
but in the local installment business
the collections are very largely made
by letter, and when the business is at
all scattered over considerable area,
the mail is depended on almost entire
ly, with final resort to a lawyer in ex-
IRENE cases.
1t takes time to collect money .by
letter-often weeks and months. But
at the end Of six months it will be
found that good letter collection sys-
tenn has cleaned up nearly everything.
In making collections by letter, GER
tain primary principles must be borne
in mind:
1. If an account is allowed to drag,
it becomes CORRESPONDENCE more diff
cult to make the collection, for it
seems to be easier for human nature
to pay promptly than after long de-
lay. The customer should be made to
understand in advance when he is ex-
pected to pay, and when the account
becomes due he should be tersely re-
minded, and kept reminded.
2. 1t is useless to send out a dozen
letters all just alike. If mild request
brings nothing, the confidential appeal
should be tried, and again the sympa-
thetic dunning letter, or in some cases
the brutal dunning letter; but a fresh
style is required to make better i'm
preston, even if it is only a new form
of irritation.
8. If you are dependent on contin-
ued buying from slow payers, it is
even more necessary to keep their
good will than to collect your money,
and good collection letters, while they
irritate and force payment, must also
hold the customer for new sales. The
stimulation of new desires, that is,
craftsmanship, should be intimately
united with the effort to get the money
in. Many strict credit man, who was
very successful in his collections so
that his losses were very small frac-
ton of one per cent, has driven away
business many times as important as
all the doubtful collections put to-
gether, so that the firm would actually
have been better off to let the collec-
tons go and take the business. The
credit man who knows nothing of let
ter craftsmanship cannot possibly per-
form his duties satisfactorily.

THE CORRECT ARRANGEMENT OF
POINTS IN A PULLING LETTER.

Not only must typical points be Sc
lected, and emphasized in the way to
show them up clearly at first glance,
but it is important that the right or
der of arrangement should be fol-
lowed if the letter is to have its ef-
feet.
The great mistake that most bust
ness men make is in thinking of them
selves and their interests before they
think of those of the customer, and
playing up at the very first the merits
of what they have to sell.
The thing to start with is the need
of the customer. The business man
who can work up enough sympathy
with his customer so that he can see
that customers point of view, and real
ize his general need or desire quite as
strongly as he does the merits of his
own product, will always start with
the customers point of view at the be-
ginning and gradually lead up to his
own business proposition at the end
What is more, the logical sequence
of points from the customers stand
point to the sellers standpoint must
not be broken.
l have already outlined the logical
structure for pulling letter, but it is
necessary to repeat that logical out
line here.
Make your headline the embodiment
of the customers need. for nothing
will catch him so quickly as sympa-
thetic appreciation of his troubles.
Then show him how your article will
apply to his particular case and sup
ply the need you have referred to. A
few facts about the process of manu-
facture, or how your plan works, will
appeal to his common sense and good
judgment, and it is important that you
get those on your side.
Then offer what other or direct
proof you can for your claims.
Finally make your method of sale,
your business offer, absolutely clear
and emphatic. If samples are sent
ABSOLUTELY FREE, bring that fact
out clearly. Provide an easy way to
send the order (order blank and re-
turn envelope, or the like).
Each of these essential elements
should usually be condensed into one
emphatic fact, and briefly enlarged
upon as circumstances may require.
But the order of presentation here in
dictated is usually important, though
circumstances may alter cases.
