and sometimes allow enthusiasm to
carry them away This is true, not
withstanding tnat enthusiasm is one
Of the most valuable traits in sales
manship. A cold d-blooded sales man
ager looks upon this enthusiasm as
childish, and sometimes turns the
"damper." He is then likely to de-
stroy what might have been made into
good salesman. While the man on
the road may be in a sense an ex-
tremist and asks for unreasonable
consideration In pushing his trade.
the wise manager viii use the dam
per" with the utmost caution.
There is a difference between the
''damper' i'm a stove and that in g.
salesman. the former may be kept
turned until the flame is almost ex-
tincct and then IT will Immediately
blaze UP when the fi1ie is opened. But
not so with he enthusiastic young
salesman. Smother his enthusiasm
and he feels that his house does not
appreciate his efforts. tnen he becomes
a machine, and it is ever afterwards
difficult If not impossible, to again
awaken his best effort. Energy Is no
more essential In salesmanship than
tact is In the salesmanager. The tact
full man will handle the "damper"
carefully and often permit the enthu-
siastic salesman to pursue some inno-
cent fancy to learn wisdom as he pro-
ceeds, rather than coolly shut him off
from course which he things is best.

Ry George q. Kendriok.

BY George g. Kendrick
Alone / sit without the gate.
The Office help-are busy.

They chew the rag and 1etn, and haw.
And tell their trials and crosses;
Alone ! wait, without the gate.
And figure on my losses.

And house that pays my salary,
But I am but an audience
With a back seat in the gallery.
[ buy my sinking spirits UP,
And not let such things tire,
I'm counting on the goods I'll sell
When once j see the buyer.
AT last he comes with pompous mein.
Although no page announces.
And up against the waiting rail,
His body sways and bounces.
He scans my card in eager haste,
And says, "The weather's fine"
And he is sorry he must say
There's nothing he wants in my
line"
And so / give the gladstone hand,
And smile, and think, you liar
hope some day you've goods to sell,
And / am then the buyer.

One day a wise traveller died. In
pocket next to his heart was found a
book. In the book the following was
found:

must put up a front.
"All opened up"-a fgurative form
of speech which can be thus translat-
ed: I've unlocked the trunks and
lifted four trays, but can mage a hot
rush if he comes.''
I'll wire it in"-means either 'This
one must be saIved'' or "Ill make it
out tonight"
Prompt shipment"-lThis phrase
means Snip when ready"
You are looking simply fine''-
means the same as FYour shoelaces are
both the same length
Original ckages"-Anything a
customer fancies, and you can sting
him good.

manner: Fine chance"
