HAD THE GOODS WITH HIM
Nervy Salesman Takes Fall Out of
Brusque Packer and Gets
job.

Until some ten years ago 1t was an
axiom in the big packing house circles OF
Chicago that a salesman should be
guided by four rules as laid down by
one OF the famous heads OF that industry.
He was noted for his brusuueness, and
also democratic nature that scorned
the usual hedge OF clerks that stands be-
tween a big man and his callers.
A bright, manipulating chap entered
the office one day when he was very
busy.
Good morning he began politely.
We'll. what the blankety- blank blank
do you want?" he growled.
Il want civil treatment, and want II

sharp answer

AS the young man started to leave the
office the brusdue old packer called him
back.

he asked.

We'll. you have the three essentials
that make a good salesman. I'll point
them out to you, so you'll remember 'em.
First, you don't think any man is better
than you are, and you have the nerve to
stick to 1t. Second, you know the good
points of what you had to SELL Third,

words. I'll add fourth-get out before

the sale OF the tonic I'm Omaha is now
very large" said one of the specialists
who are here introducing 'Tona Vita to
the public. Il have recently received re-
ports from other cities and the sale in
all Of them is tremendous. In fact, the
demand has been so large and 10 sudden
that II has been impossible to prepare
the tonic fast enough to take care OF it.
The Approved Formula company is re-
ceiving wires from druggists everywhere
asking for the medicine, but at present
1t Is impossible to FIJI these orders. 4 Ms
demand Is all the more remarkable when
you consider that the tonic was unknown
on this side of the water until a few
months ago.
mo medicine could be so tremendously
successful unless IL had a mission to ac-

mission. "Tona Vita" Is accomplishing
It's mission. 1t is making tiretl-out, de-
bilitated, nervous men and women hap

Nervous debility is the curse of this
age. 1t is produced by the strain OF
modern life. The symptoms OF this
trouble are little vitality or ambition,
tired, dragging feeling Of the mind and
body, nervousness and depression OF spir-
its, stomach and liver trouble, constipa-
tlon, cold feet and susceptibility to
coughs and colds.

The avenging band, thought TO have

formed quietly. They effected an en-
trance into the lookup without attracting
tho attention Of those living nearby, and
went to Davis cell, where they found
the negro asleep. Hubert Chase, an
other negro, who was held In the station
as witness IN the Schwab case, was not
molested. Chase said Davis fought
desperately and shrieked for mercy, but
his cries were quickly siienoed by a blow

The trouble which caused the shooting
Of Schwab started in q saloon at Fair

a bullet through schwab's heart. Davis
then fired two shots at Frank Schwab

The negro fled but was arrested an

LINCOLN CLUB RAPS OMAHA
Knocking Circulars Thought Work
of Lincoln Commercial Club.
SENT TO TEACHERS OF STATE
sekeel=s'sn.s WIN vote Soon ON
Place fer Ne1t Convention
Rad LincoIa wants Their
Trade.

Next week the teachers OF the state
will receive the formal invitations Of
Omaha and Lincoln, both of which de-
sire to entertain the teachers at next
years convention. They will be sent
out in printed form by the executive
committee OF the association. The teach
ers will then vote by mail on the place
for holding the next meeting.
Lincoln Is very sorry that the teachers
met I'm Omaha this year. because the
Lincoln merchants have figured to a
nicely their profit on the teachers and
estimate that the convention brings
them 10000 worth Of trade every time II
meets in Lincoln. SO they are busy try
ing to knock Omaha.
They got the Lincoln journal TO print
story knocking Omaha, then had Il
reprinted in circular form and sent 10
newspapers all over the state As far
as can be ascertained, not one OF the
papers reprinted the article. Many edit
ors. on receiving the circulars, imme-
diately mailed them TO the publicity
bureau OF the Omaha Commercial club.
The circulars were very clumsy. There
was nothing on circular or envelope TO
tell where they came from, except a
lock box number IN the upper left hand
corner OF the envelope. The senders
were not even clever enough to invent a
fake news bureau" for the occasion.
II is presumed that the Lincoln Com
mercal club paid for the circulars and
postage.
Lincoln Club Very busy.
The Lincoln club has been bombardins
the teachers with literature" including
that stock postcard poster designed for
general appeal 10 all conventions, but
with a special appeal TO none. The
poster which bears a picture of the post
office building and the Young Mems
Christian association building, can be
bourdolr.
Lincoln Is trying TO tell the teachers
that LIncoIn's hotel rates are lower than
omaha,s ( This IL not the case, accord
ing to officials OF the Omaha Commercial
club, burt II Il were, the teachers would
stil be assured OF having a place TO sleep
In omaha, whereas many OF. them have
had 10 SIT up all night In Lincoln because
they could not find rooms.
Next TO the state fair, the teachers
convention is the higgsst money bringing
affair that visits Lineoln and the mer-
chants OF the capital are bending every
effort TO get another chance at the teach
ers' pooketbooks next year. They sot
so used TO having the teachers in their
town that they freely used the trade ar
gumen In getting their subscriptions
for entertaining the teachers.
The Omaha Commercial club. at the
time II invited the teachers last wear,
advised them 10 spend their money In
their home towns before coming TO
Omaha, giving their local merchants all
the benefit OF their trade. Omaha wants
TO entertain the teachers because the
metropolis has many large institutions
that they should know about and about
which they should be able 20 tell their
pupils This will do Omaha and the
state more good, the Commercial club
figures. than any amount Of money the
teachers might spend.
