A Travellers REQUEST
Then Entered Into the Converse
tion Himself.

If there is one thing a commercial
traveller dislikes more than another, it
is elaborate ceremony; and IL the spirit
of his profession is in him. he generally
finds some way to let his prejudice be
known.
One evening a travelling salesman
from Fargo happened to sit down at
hotel table in Bismarck in company
with half dozen state legislators,
who talked with excessive formality.
1t was will the gentleman from
Stark do this?" and Does the gentle
man from Nelson want that?' the or
binary form of direct address being
carefully eschewed.
For nearly ten minutes the CONNER
cial traveller suffered in silence. Then
he turned to the waiter and said in a
deep oratorical tone, will the gentle
man from Ethiopia please pass the but

YOUNG BLOOD IS
IS ALWAYS WANTED
MANAGERS OF COMMERCIAL IN
sTITUTIoNs HAVE THE kNAcK
OF DEALING WITH THE YOUNG
Err SET AND GET VERY Salts
FACTORY RESULTS.

The younger members of the gener-
alton may be erratic in some respects,
according to the old heads, but If pro-
erly handled the enterprise and enthus-
;asm Of youth may be made a great
cover in any direction. To secure the
best from the young man or boy there
Is no way like that of throwing re-
sponsibilities on him and letting him
know that you have confidence in his
abilities to master the situation.
Pride is a strong incentive in the
young. The boy is delighted when he
accomplishes a mans work. 1t was
clearly proven during the civil war that
the most daring soldiers were the boys.
They would go as long as there was a
spark of strength, and then some more.
Given the command to charge, they
considered not danger in any form,
Managers of commercial institutions
who know the knack Of dealing with
the younger set have had the most
satisfactory results. On the other
hand, it is too often the case that when
a duty is given to a boy he is given to
understand that he can't do it and must
be constantly watched to see that he
will halfway succeed. Then frequent
buckets of cold water thrown on him
will effectually squelch every spark of
enthusiasm and render his work dis
tasteful to him. OF course he Is then
Justly branded a failure, whereas had
he had the right kind of environments
the result would have been entirely
different.
1t is often surprising to find at the
head Of large business enterprises a
young man who has more the appear
ance Of a boy. The one thing which
has to be watched when elevated to a
position is his head, which
sometimes becomes of such proper
tons as to require a larger hatband
This, however, is not the rule, but the
exception, and the shrewd business
will use this young blood to
good advantage in his enterprise.

Importance Of Missouri AS
Navigable Stream Recognized
Senator McCumber Gets Appropriation in Rivers and Harbor
Bill at Request Of Captain Baker---New
Plan for Improving the River

Washington, Jan. 2S.-That the up
per Missouri river may not pass out
of the legislative zone altogether and
go down into the records of the gov
eminent as an unnavigable stream,
Senator McCumber, pursuant to the
request of prominent upper Missouri
river men has offered an amendment
to the rivers and harbors appropria-
ton bill which is calculated to recog-
nize the claims of that stream on gov
ernmental aid and incidentally pave
the way for larger and more substan-
tial appropriations in the future. An
appropriation of $4,000 has been
asked for as starter Captain /. p.
Baker of Bismarck who owns line
of steamers on the upper Missouri, is
entitled to credit for the amendment
as it was he more than any other
that acquainted Senator McCumber
with the real state of affairs in his
particular section of the country.
Captain Baker advances a new idea
in river Improvement in so far as the
Missouri river are shared by othes is
would divide that stream in sections
of 400 miles each and improve each
section independent of the other but
at the same time maintain a harmony
that eventually would reclaim the en-
tire stream to navigation. Each sec
ton should stand on its own leg"
and therefore could be utilized and
improved at moderate cost and have
an independent value of any other sec
ton and with reasonable amount of
Improvement will forever regulate and
govern railroad rates on products in
the Missouri valley
That the optimistic views of Captain
Baker as to the future of the, upper
Missouri river is shared by others is
evidenced by statements recently made
by John A. Fox of Arkansas and a
devotee of river and harbor improve
ment. Mr., Fox recently made a trip
through the country that would be
profited by the McCumber amendment
Upon Mr.. Fox's return to Washing
ton he said:
Il have just recently returned from
that great region, starting in at Bis
marck, where interest is awakening
In the Improvement of the Missouri:
and coming down that great waterway
was astonished myself to find that
there are raised In the counties adj
Jacent to the Missouri river alone IT.

THE PULL.

Talk about your money,
Your merit or your brain;
Give me only just pull
And I'll make your efforts vain.
Give me, said Archimedes,
A lever long and stout,
Something then to stand on,
And I'll move the earth about.
The mighty, mighty lever may
Move the earth, tits true,
But just give to me a pull
And I'll show you what I'll do.
I'll get the best of everything,
Escape a felon's cell;
In peace and plenty ever live.
And 'sociate with the swell
In politics especially
The pull is wondrous strong;
From president to constable
The pulls a lively song.
But see it in society
mean the mighty pull;
1t breaks away all barriers,
The pup becomes a bull.
Just get pull, a good strong pull,
Then take your ease and rest,
For sure as fate you'll ever have
or everything the best.

Captain Bakers telegram to Senator
McCumber which makes clear his
views on the possibilities of the upper
Missouri is in part as follows:
Present river and harbor bill con-
tains no appropriation for or mention
of the Missouri river the longest
navigable stream on earth. Section q
of the bill practically precludes any
surveys of work upon the upper Mis-
souri, river for all future time. Please
amend the bill and insist upon proper
recognition for 1t now. The bill should
direct survey and estimate OF costs
Of improvements of the entire Missouri
river in separate sections Of 400 miles
each. Hereafter bill should provide
separate appropriation for each 400
miles from source to mouth, Each
section or division should stand on
its own leg and therefore could be
utilized and improved at moderate cost
and have an independent value of any
other section and with reasonable
amount Of Improvement win forever

Please demand and insist upon an
appropriation of at least 100000 for
