Hard to Take, but 1t Was One
That He Needed.
HAS LEARNED HIS FAILING
Salesman With Really Unusual Gifts
Knows Now Why He Has Not
Risen From the Ranks of
the Mediocre

Smith is city salesman for a firm
of Office furniture manufacturers. He
is pretty good salesman, but not a
star.
Smith wonders why this is. He has
all the appearance, the assurance, the
language and responsiveness that
ought to go to the making of a star
salesman. He can go into the office
of buyer who for years has tabooed
the firm because he didn't like the
other salesman, sit down, smile and
turn loose a flood of language that
will make the buyer see Smiths firm
In a new light, make him listen care
fully, and end by giving at least an
experimental order.
In spite Of this, Smith doesn't rise
out of the ranks of the mediocre.
There are several men on the staff
whose annual sales equal his, and
they are far from possessing Smiths
gifts at that. Smith can't understand
1t; but the other day he was handed
a hint that he still is thinking about.
Smith has got considerable of a
temper. He is just egotist enough to
become riled little when anybody be-
gins to oppose his will and desires,
and if said opposition continues and
progresses Smiths temper does like
wise, and presently he is good and
mad. When he gets that way he
doesn't care how far he goes, what he
says, or what he or the other fellow

USE UP THE WASTE PRODUCT
6RIGUETTES OF SAWDUST AND
SHAVINGS THE SCHEME.
inventor Confident He Has Produced
Machine Which Will Turn Out
Perfect Article.

For many years the problem of dis
posing of wood shavings and sawdust
the waste products of sawmills-
has troubled men economically in
clined. Long ago it was seen that If
the shavings and sawdust could be
compressed into a briquette the result
would be fuel of high heat produc-
ing quality, and that another form of
our national extravaganza and waste
would be done away with. Many in
ventols have worked upon the prob
lem, vaiEly endeavoring to perfect a
machine that would make briquette
that could be handled without crum-
bling.
Last March a patent was issued to
Los Angeles man on AN article OF
manufacture, compressed, elongated,
cylindrical briquette, having rounded
ends and composed of wood shavilngs
and the like" which may solve the
problem. The inventor insists that it
already has solved it. There are now
pending twelve patents on the auto
matte machinery designed to produce
the blocks.
The inventor says that he has made
hundreds of sawdust blocks by his
machine and that not one of them
has SHOWN a tendency to crumble
when handled. He expects to sell
them at retail at 81 ton, at which
figure he says they will be cheaper
than coal of the same price.
The trouble with inventors" he ex-
plains, has been that they tried to
produce block of compressed wood
shavings of sawdust either in the form
of block with square corners or a
cylinder with square ends. Manufac-
tured in this form the briquettes
would not stand being handled from
factory to the point of consumption,
but would crumble and break. 9th
ers tried TO remedy this defect by
using a core of an infiammable ce-
ment as binder This did not work
well, and in addition was too eXpen-
sive.
The success of my discovery de-
ponds upon the law of physics, which
provides that when a loose mass is
compressed in a cylinder along lines
concentrating on the central point
the mass will adhere without the use
of any foreign substance as binder.
The simple expedient of making cyl
Under with rounded ends solved the
problem.
My bricks are seven inches long by
three inches in diameter and weigh
pound and a half more than a sim
liar amount of lignum vitae, which is
the most dense of natural woods. The
briquettes will burn for an hour, stead
lily and brightly, gradually disintegrat-
ing from the expansion of the air in

Worker Must Have Complete
Control of Himself.
THE KING OF ALL VIRTUES
Without II Success Is Impossible, De-
feat Assured-Fits of Anger
Both Physically and Men
tally Bad.

1t can never be easy to master ones
self. Hence self-control is always the
king of all virtues. But it grows
easier the longer we are working at
1t. If the effort to be ones own mas
ter be begun early every year-every
day, in fact-lessens the strain OF the
struggle.
The child is taught to control his
temper, for instance. That passion of
forces which we call a fit of anger
doubtless grows up to maturity of the
boys life. But if his parents have
been keeping him on the job all the
while he equals the growth of passion
with his growth of self-control. There

he lives, writes Rev Emory ]. Haynes
in the Chicago Journal.
Yet pity the boy who works it the
other way. 1t is such as he who go
all to pieces by the force of internal
explosions Whether the battleship
Maine was destroyed from within her
self or without makes all the differ
ence imaginable. There is no outside
power that can master a man. But
inside forces can crush him. though
he still gnash his teeth.
Since this is true, what is wise but
that he take himself in hand? II is
the self-respectful way. 1t is the only
safe way, if he would not be over

Good Record Made by Women.

Through the activity of women, In
the anti-tuberculosis campaign, sana-
toria and hospitals for the treatment
of tuberculosis have been erected;
travelling libraries have been circu-
lated, posters, circulars and other
kinds of literature have been distrib-
uted to the number of millions OF
pieces. thousands of lectures have
been given, large sums of money have
been secured, hundreds of needy cases
have been helped: tuberculosis work
has been started in many communi
ties where no movement had existed;
and millions of women have learned
the dangers and methods of proven
ton of tuberculosis. The work of the
women extends from the drawing room
of the rich to the homes of the poor,
and embraces all classes, including the
factory girl and millionaire. During
the coming year a special campaign OF
lectures to women will be carried on
Ia all parts of the United States.

LESSON FOR SMITH

there's apt to be little muss Not
that he ever lets himself go during
business hours. He is to well trained,
too good business man to do that.
He can take and swallow any oppcsi-
ton in the way of business. but after
hours he quits being cautious
The other night Smith was going
home on the elevated. There was
plenty of room in the car and Smith
walked toward the end. About in the
middle a portly, middle-aged man of
fatherly appearance was busy reading
his paper. He was so busy reading
that he failed to notice that his we'll
clad legs were extended well into the
middle of the aisle. Now, the car be-
ing crowded, it would have worked no
hardship on Smith to have passed
without trouble. but he was made of
different stuff The sight of the other
mans carelessness irritated him. He
deliberately kicked the feet in the
aisle
There was something of a wordy
fuss.
You're a ruffian." said the fatherly
man
You're a dub" said Smith. Some
body ought to hand you a slap in the
face for your lack of consideration for
Others"
Next day Smith went to land a big
order. He had been working for days
to see the president of a concern that
was about to install new furniture in
its Office. That day was the day when
the president, by letter, had agreed to
give Smith an interview.
He went to the office. He sent in
his card and waited, full of conf
dence. He knew that he could sell
the bill If he could get the presidents
ear. He was ushered into the office.
Get Quit" roared the president.

powered and crushed. We can all
combine and hold him.
But let him, rather, hold himself
and no thanks to us. 1t is trouble
some to control young fellow. Why
will he not be generous, refuse to
take our time and tax our energy, and
control himself? Self-control means,
evidently, the subjugation of ones
power by the better self-control by
the highest judicial faculty That is
our moral sense. The voice within
which says: Il ought" Il ought not"
For otherwise control would be
without meaning. The purpose is ones
own good, other peoples good; no in
jury to self or others.
So much for the law. Now the
means is the power of the will, which
always can control unless one is in
sane. Indeed, one of the tests of in
sanity is by the will power. If the
will is off the throne the faculties are
in anarchy. There is nothing in all
mans life so alarming as when he
finds that he does not know right
from wrong or, knowing, cannot force
himself to do what he ought. He is
for the moment perfect ruin. Chaos
inhabits him. We say he is unaccount-
able. like the idiot or the mad Give
supreme attention to prevent weaken
ing of the will. It should have perfect
power from the head to the feet.
If the will slips on some nerve we
say that is paralysis, and we pity the
lame man. But such physical slip
is nothing in comparison with paraly-
sis in control of appetites and pas
sions
BY strange and fortunate alliance
between the moral sense and the will
it is impossible that normal man
should be defeated in any struggle of
self-mastery. We can always win, al
ways hold ourselves. Often the battle
is really sublime, it is so intense. But
the vast majority conquer or society
would be impossible.
