DISTRICT STEWARDS
 10 MEET HERE,
Canaan, for the First Time | in Its History, Enter
 tains the Delegates.

The District stewards of the Pough. keepsie M. E. District will meet in Canaan, June 29, Dr. R. E. Wilson, district superintendent. presiding. The stewards make the appointments for the year for all the Methodist churches in their district, and likewise fix the salaries paid to pastors of various churches.
 After the financial needs of the dis trict are carefully figured out, the stew ards apportion the budget of expenses among the churches. according to the strength and ability of such churches to meet their part of such obligation. This is known as the church budget for the year, and is raised usually among the several organizations of such churches sharing their part of the ex- pense burden. In that way it is the more readily raised, as many hands often make quick work.
 Ladies Serve Dinner
 The session of the stewards will be at the Canaan M. E. church, beginning at l:30 p. m. Prior to that the ladies of the parish will serve a dinner to the delegates, numbering from % to 30 prominent laymen, made up from all the churches in the district, in the ratio of one for each society. At the business session all the business for the coming church year, that comes before such a body. will be disposed of.
 First Time in Canaan.
 Hitherto such meetings have been held in Poughkeepsie, N. Y., as this is part of the New York Methodist Episcopal Conference. but this year. S innovation is due to the efforts of Dr. Wilson, who secured the meeting of the session at Canaan, as matter of accommodation to delegates living at this end of the district, who hitherto have had to make the Poughkeepsie trip each year. It is an innovation fully appreciated.

is to arrange the trolley schedule so as not to conflict with the steam cars in using of their trackage. and this can be readily done and the cars can be fully safeguarded by simple safety block signal system.
 To Parallel the Road
 It is purposed to parallel the railroad on it's east side running along the high way from Sheffield as far as the second railroad crossing in Canaan. This will give Canaanites long desired outlet to the larger towns north, and at the same time will provide one of the pleasantest pleasure trips that could be had in western Massachusetts.

Tha Higher Branches

Miss Roraback devotes her attention largely to algebra, geometry, English and civil government, and the work ex- hibited in these departments last week showed that she has been able to impress on her classes some degree of her own enthusiasm and love of the artistic, even in some of the dryest studies. Specially notable was the exhibits in English liter ature. The books presented by the var ious students for exhibit, prepared by themselves as sort of treatis on the subject selected, rank as works of art ln point of illustration, and show clearness of diction and aptness in composition most creditable. The same is true of the work in Miss Potter's department. The maps of the ancient world, drawn by the pupils were wonderfully near perfection.
 An Efficient Principal
 Miss Sarah Roraback, may we'll feel pride in the work exhibited by the schools under her supervision. From the lowest grade to the highest, the teachers have developed the work along the most practical lines and the results are apparent It shows that careful supervision of detail is no small factor in securing excellency and progress in work. ..
 In the high school is also taught stenography and typewriting and those other branches essential to a well rounded high school education. Canaan is proud of it's school and it ought to be.

Decorating the Living.

 The other day a small boy picked up a wreath of roses that had been dropped in the street during a funeral procession. He gave it to an old woman and said, "Me believes in decorating folks before they die" Is not that a great belief to live? It is glorious to decorate. Try it. There are many flowers, not all roses, but kind words and loving. thoughts, for decorating your friends as they pass your garden gate.-A. Louise Babbage in Cir cle Magazine.

The SPECIALITY
SALESMANS FORT
CAN INFORM THE BUYER WHAT
MANUFACTURER is DOING IN
THE WAY OF SPECIAL WORK TO
INTRODUCE TIE ARTICLE TO
THE CONSUMER,

A we'll knawn writer on travelling
statesmen anr their work has an article
on The Speciality Salesman that will
bear repetition. He says:
"a jobbers salesman, when calling
on a local grocer, was asked why the
jobber's salesman brought around those
speciality men, what good did they do,
etc? 1t is to be feared that the sales
man was not well posted in his bust
ness, for the only explanation he had
to give for the presence of the specially
man was that he was there for the
purpose of helping to unload the job
Der Of his surplus stock Of that partic-
ular specially. While this may be one
reason for the specially man accom-
panying the jobber's salesman on his
rounds, 1t is not the true one. The
main reason for the existence of the
speciality salesman Is. that the article
which he represents may be specially
introduced to the buyer, which the job
ber's salesman had not always time
to do. The speciality man can give the
retailer much valuable information
respecting the manufacture and uses
of the article. The specially man can
point out to the seller the NEST meth
DDS to pursue in bringing the article
to the notice of customers. He can in
form the buyer what the manufactur-
err is doing in the way Of special work
to introduce the article to the con-
sumner. 1t is not possible for the job
ber's salesman to carry samples of all
the different speCialties, nor to be fully
posted on all their merits and selling
points. If he were to push specialties,
then he would neglect the, staples that
| his firm deals in and cease to be a
| jobbers salesman by becoming a spe-
cialty salesman. These are few rea-
sons for the existence of the speciality
man. The specially man has a place
| in the commercial world or he would
not be here. Jobbers' statesmen, in
most cases, can fully explain the rea-
sons why the speciality man is here
There are some speciality men VINO
stuff orders, and there are some job
| bers' statesmen who do the same thing
but these men are apt to be fitting
from one firm to another--a kind OF
fly-by-night sort of fellows. No sales
man, be he special or jobber's, if he
has any respect for his firm, his posi-.
| ton or himself, will stuff an order. II
is as bad as for retailer to give al
order and then countermand it,

NEVER GROW OLD.

The passing of time in it's onward
flight,
The sunshine Of morn, the davis of the
night
Summers heat and winters cold;
The swelling bud in the springtime of
youth
And the ripened fruit in autumn, in
truth,
All tell you to never grow old.
Never grow old.
Bright hopes may have fallen, one by
one;
Your journey thro' life is not half done,
Though the evening bells be tolled.
Though the years pass swift as an
eagles fight
While you sit and dream in the soft
twilight.
Still feel it best to never grow old.
Never grow old.
The stopping form and the locks grown
white,
The unsteady tread and the fast fail
ing sight,
The cane you firmly hold,
All gladly tell of the passing years,
Beginning with hope or fraught with
fears,
And you know you must never grow
old.
Never grow old.
The mist that hangs between you an6
heaven
May be parted soon, and the curtain
riven, -..
Will the future to you unfold;
And the boatman may come on thai
beautiful river
And bear you across the tide forever
But you should never grow old.
Never grow old.
| The road to old age needs TO turn fol
you,
| Though you've crossed the wild waves
of a youthful view,
! Where passion ran high and bold.
| Sit not calmly down and wait for tn

That will watt your soul away, ia
away;
The world demands that you nevel

SALESMANSHIP FIELD
Some Pertinent Remarks In Epigrams
That the Commercial Traveller
Should Pay Attention To.

A well known writer on statesmen
makes the following pertinent remarks
in epigram form that every traveller
should read and pay attention to:
Success in business turns on sales :
manship.
The ability to make others see merit
in that which you have to sell.
Yes, more than merit. for they must
also see in it dollars or satisfaction for
themselves.
Men have created wonderful things
only to die paupers-in the midst OF
millionaires made SO by their ability
to sell what others had created.
Profit. factory economics, credit and
accounting systems, savings by large
purchasers all depend upon the ability
to sell.
When sales cease the whole fabric
tears and falls asunder.
No matter what a man has or whai
man makes 1t Is worthless to him i
he can't sell 1t at o profit.
After the creation then, always
comes the question of selling.
Everything Is regulated by sales.
It's the hub Of the business universe
All these things are so, you mus
admit.
/ And being so.
