Umpire Frary fell in bad with
the fans on two or three occa-
sions because Of the questionable
soundness Of his judgment in max
ing decisions on plays that con-
cerned the home team. 1t was ad-
mitted that his work was good, the
only criticism being offered was
that he ought to consult an ocu-
list, and then, If there was no hope,
la might be admitted to home for
the blind. OF course, outside of
that, he was all right.
Reflection was cast by the irate
fans on about everything but his
character, when he stood serenely
by and watched Keener make three
bags in creased lightning time in
the fifth inning and then, just as
serenely, announce that it was a
foul ball. They roasted his booz-
orium, the Mecca" and they roast
ed his chili-con-carne and his tam
ales.
They howled viciously in the
third inning when he called Scharn-
weber safe at the plate. when

let to Holm, who shot 1t to Ostdiek

ship, l would say: 1T Is simply max
ing the other fellow feel as you do
about what you have to sell" That is
about all there is to 1t. You go into a
mans office with something TO sell.
You feel that this man ought TO pos
sess, through purchase from you, this
thing that you a to sell. But the
man you have called to see, who sits
with an air of cool defiance behind the
breatworks Of his desk, is in a direct
ly opposite state OF mind. He feels
that he ought not to possess, through
purchase from you, the thing o have
to sell. Now the only possible way
you can make he sale is to make the
mans mind come around into agree
ment with your mind. 1t is not even
a case where o can meet your p
ponent half way; you can not make
ever a small compromise and still MAKE
a sale. You a V got to sell him COM
pletely or you don't sell him at all;
you must pull him full $50 degrees
around the circle. When o have

Is a business builder, as well as a bust

man Of strong character and attractive
personality. h foregoing sentence
contains the suggestion Of what the
training for craftsmanship should be.
1t sounds the success keynote. What
should be the salesman's equipment?
We are salesmanagers now selecting
men. What are going to require of those
we choose? Have my way and there
would b. ten requisites which we
should use as a standard for measur-
ing our candidates. And the first Of
these requisites Is health.
A salesman must be in good physi-
cal condition all the time. Just like a
~racehorse, he must be ready to go
when the bell rings. There was a time
not many years ago hen most sales
men injured their health with too much
drinking and smoking and eating. But
there is not so much of this nowadays;
good statesmen nave come to do most
of their work in the salesroom instead
of in the bar-rooms. The temptations
for a salesman to drink too much,
smoke too much, n eat too much are
many, and 1t Is only by constant Wig
lance that he can resist such temp
tations. His health depends on his
power to resist, and in the long run
his success depends upon his health.

OUR LACK OF PATRIOTISM.
Remain in Place Long Enough to Be
Attached to IL.
From the New York Evening Sun.

From the New York Evening Sun.
With moving day coming on in spite
of the chill welcome, 1t invariably re-
ceives from every one, these few seri-
Gus words are in order. Americans
have been accused of not being patriot
ic. They nave in almost-th same breath
been excused, explained and admon-
ished. The explanation was this:
Americans are not patriotic because a
minority of them possess parents who
had early associations in this country.
There is no sense OF having roots. of
being OF the soil, of standing on the
spot where ones forefather stood. One
cannot love an entire huge country.
When one says the name of ones
native land II must mean to each per-
son q certain intimately known local
ity, with a house where one was born,
reared and heard of the births Of ones
people. All this is impossible In Amer
lea, because every one nov every
year, which upsets associations, attach
ments and prevents any feeling but
that of feverish participation In an
ever changing Kaleidoscope. The
thought may arouse our e~nthusiasms,
or II may be that 1t only raises our
voices In speaking of 1t, and this Is be-
cause we could not make ourselves
heard in any other way: but we do moi
possess that ~ingrained, pig headed
alteration for our country which is so
valuable d possession for the country.
Now, ladies and householders, If this
lack of warm hearted patriotism can
be stopped by the simple expedient OF
your not moving, can you not manage
to control yourselves during this COM
ing month. and In the splendid cause
of engendering love of country rest
content in your secluded little flats?
1t is the call OF your nation. Respond
to 1t. no matter what the suffering.
