IN TWO LIQUOR CASES
Both Are Dismissed Through
Errors of COmplainants

Hans Olsen, grocer. Indiana and
Naples streets. was charged before Po-
lice Judge Shortan yesterday with sell
ing liquor without a license. The ar
resting officer was 6. Coates, who rep
resented himself as a beer drummer
and after paying for the cigars
ordered whisky. which was served.
Coates put 20 cents on the counter. but
before Olsen took it he was called upon
to serve customer.
When he returned Coates showed his
star and arrested him. Olsen denied
that he had any intention of taking the
20 cents and the case was dismissed.

charged by Madeline de Orsay. the fe-
male detective, with selling liquor with

VISITACION VALLEY
DEMANDS WATER
District Neglected by City and
8 Rebuffed by Spring Valley;
-.
at Mercy of Fires

!. After campaign through various
departments Of the city government
for water and fire fighting, the resi-
dents OF Nisitacion valley and the Bay
view and University mound districts
received a setback at the hands of the
Spring Valley water company. TO whom
they had been referred as court of last
reso5t and must now begin anew in
rnaN hg demands of city departments
The valley is in a peculiar position.
The nearest fire engine is at Fourteenth
and Railroad avenues. which by actual
test is a 80 minute drive. Besides this
when the engine reaches the center of
the valley there will be no water with
which 10 fight the flames. a hose cart
is maintained in the valley, which,
though il has much hose, has no water
70 use.
For several years the districts have
demanded that their needs be cOnsid-
cred There are now more than 500
houses. some Of which are three story
structures, in Nisitacion valley. A
short time ago $4,000 hre destroyed
=; builaing. anG shortly after $4,000
fire occurred. There was no way to
prevent the fire from destroying every
ching il could reach.
Mrs. r. Y. Hutchinson. secretary of
tire valley Improvement club. put the
situation pithily:
.*4AlI we can Go is mount the hills and
watch the houses burn"
She says. the first campaign took
them through many city departments,
as one would refer them to another.
The Spring Valley has a big main pass
ing near the center of the valley, but
refuses absolutely to allow this TO be
tapped The Rees reservoir could be
used, which would give sufficient
strength TO night fire, she says.
The Improvement clubs of the district
VII take the matter back to the board
a supervisors and make a demand that
their districts be provided for A fire
hghting center in the valley would
easily cover a territory now unprovfded
for three and quarter miles long and
2 mile and a half wide. Residents fear
that a big fire in the thiekly populated
district might destroy Visitacion val
Iey's business center.

Today a rain belt is creeping up from
the Sudan and is extending farther and

of years.
But the most startling testimony
which Gautier found was absolute proof
that long before the present age OF
rainfall, in what is known as the Neo
lithic or later Stone Age, Il very large
population inhabited this part of the
Sahara. He found there graves scat
tered over the grassy plain; he found
many hundreds of their drawings on
the rocks, where they had pictured amt
NAL forms and other objects. He dis
covered the tiattened stones which they
had used for grinding grain. These

once upon n time there was man
called Smithereens who returned from
Europe u mere financial fragment of his
former self With much difficulty. being
sore, he patted himself upon the back and
rcJoiced that at least it had cost him
nothing to limp down the steamers gang
plank, because abroad he had certainly
fallen among them. No sooner did he rest
the sole of his foot In his own home than
great horde of friends and almost
friends did descend upon him with camor-
ngs In divers keys for the gloves. hand
kerchiefs, stockings, crnvats, pipes. and
embroidered things which he had been re-
quested to purchase for the horde during
his brief sojourn In the camps of the peo-
pies across the sea.

II were asked to define salesman
ship, would say: 1T is simply maxi
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
mans office with something to sell.
You feel that this man ought to pos
sess. through purchase from YOU this
thing that you have 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
purchase from you, the thing you have
to SELL Now the only possible way
you can make the sale Is to make the
mans mind come around into agree
ment with your mind. 1t is not even
case where YOU can meet your OPP
poneht half way; you can not make
even small compromise and still make
sale. You have 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 you have
made him feel just as sincerely as you
yourself feel that he should buy what
you have to sell, then he will buy.

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 be ten requisites which we
should use as standard for measure
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
racehorse, he must be ready to go
when the bell rings. There was a time
not many years ago when 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 have 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 and 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.
Good health influences others in your
favor. 1t is a prime factor in bring
ing your prospects mind around into
agreement with your mind

HOW IT FEELS TO Be
CHARGED BY A LION.
Elk President Roosevelt Relates
Thrilling Adventure in the
African Jungle.
From Scribner..s,


The lion stopped and lay down be-
mind bush: jumping off l took a shot
at MIN at 200 yards, but only wounded
MIN slightly in one paw: and after
moments sullen hesitation off he went,
flashing his tail. We mounted our
sight of him, but l marked him lying
down behind low grassy ant hill
Again We dismounted at a distance OF
soO yards; Tarlton telling me that now
he was sure to charge. In all East
Africa there is no man, not even Cum
,nghame himself, whom 1 would rather
nave bN me than Tarlton, If In difficult
ties with charging lion: on this occa-
SION, however. l am glad to say that
his rifle was badly sighted, and shot
altogether too low
Again knelt and fired but the mass
OF hair on the lion made me think he
was nearer than he was, and l under
shot, infiicting flesh wound that was
neither Gripping nor fatal. He was
Already grunting savagely and tossing
MS tall erect, with his head held low;
and at the shot the great sinewy beast
came toward us with the speed of
greyhound. Tarlton then, very proper
ly, fired. for lion hunting is no child's
play, and it is not good to run risks
ordinarily IT is Very mean thing to
experience joy at friends miss: but
inns was not an ordinary case, and /
felt keen delight when the bullet from
the badly sighted rifle missed, striking
the ground many yards short. i was
sighting carefully, from my knee, and
knew had the lion all right; for
though he galloped at great pace, he
came on steadily-ears laid back, and
utterlns terrific coughing grunts-and
there was now no question OF making
allowance for distance, nor. as he was
out In the open. for the fact that he
had not before been distinctly visible
The bead of my foresight was exactly
on the center of his chest as / pressed
the trigger. and the bullet went as true
as if the place had been plotted with
dividers The blow brought him up all
standing, and he fell forward on his
head. The soft-nosed Winchester bullet
had gone straight through the chest
cavity. smashing the lungs and the big
bloodvessels of the heart Painfully he
recovered his feet. and tried to come on,
his ferocious courage holding out to the
last.
