TAKE MENTAL STOCK
Generally There Can Be Found
a Way to Apply Ones Ac-
quired knowledge.
HOW ONE MAN FOUND IT
His Talent, Developed for Special
Purpose, Became Foundation Stone
of His Rise to success-Proof
That It always Pays
to Think.

knowledge gained to be used for
one purpose sometimes may be ap-
plied to better advantage In another.
1t pays for any young man to take
stock, so to speak, OF his mental equip
ment and see II he has any knowledge
on hand that he coulr use but is not
doing so in his work.
Several years ago a certain boy
came to the city from the farm. He
apparently was as green as the sum-
mer pasture lot where the home COWS
grazed when he started to work as
clerk behind the button counter In
large retail dry goods store.
On the way to his hall bedroom
home one evening this clerk passed
street faker, with blackboard, who
was selling a cheap book on lightning
calculating and who made bluff to
the crowd that he would give any one
IS who would give an answer to a
problem in arithmetic as quickly as
he, the faker, could cipher 1t.
That green clerk went to second
hand bookstore and paid 81 for the
best authors work on lightning cal
culation. He pored over it at night
until he mastered 1t. He always ola
have laundering for figures back IN
the little red schoolhouse at home.
The clerk then lay in wait for that
faker to make another So bluff.
Now, 1 will give S. to any one who
WILL tell me instantly, without putting
pencil to paper, the answer to this
problem-you must figure 1t In your
head" said the faker confidently.
What is the interest on $3.50 for gu
days at per cent?"
Zone dollar and eighty cents cried
the clerk. Now give me the S."
The crowd shouted with delight But
the faker, taken by surprise at his
own game, refused to pay. The crowd
became angry, broke up the black
board, and drove the faker from the
street corner
But this clerk had a new idea OF
arthmetical knowledge, and this put
the lad to thinking. 1t always pays
to think. He argued to himself that
he might as we'll apply this lightning
calculating to his daily work in figur-
ing bills of sale to fussy women shop
pers, and save mental labor.
Along came the time for taking the
annual invoice In the store. 1t soon
became noised through the big estab-
l.shment that there was young clerk
over in the button department who
had beaten the expert accountants IN
speed, in figuring up the long sheets
of totals. He was looked upon as
sort of arithmetical wizard. The su-
perintendent heard of 1t, and the young
clerk soon found himself rapidly adj
vancing in the accounting depart
ment. Today he is at the head OF an
accounting department Of one of the
big railroads of the country.

SUCCESSFUL SALESMAN

Tact is the most important factor
The ideal salesman is one who pos
sesses 1t, with a combination Of other
good qualities.
Resourcefulness is a counter quality
to perseverance and enthusiasm.
A good salesman is sometimes
spoiled through an overabundance OF
any one certain quality.
Too many statesmen treat all Gus
toners alike. They lack ability to
Judge human nature, which is another
important requisite.
Often a little less enthusiasm and a
little more resourcefulness will help
make better salesman.
The successful salesman must pos
sess intelligence. This does not nee
essarily mean knowledge. Intelligence
Is a natural quality.
Intelligence, courtesy, perseverance,
enthusiasm, resourcefulness, judgment
of human nature and tact are the ba-
sic qualifications of craftsmanship.

ROLLA WELLS IS

THE PEOPLE ARE TO HELP

New York.-A small, smooth shaved,
middle-aged man with a coat of tan
that gave evidence of much outdoor
life recently came into the Waldorf
carrying a suit case early in the after
noon and registered as "Rolla Wells,
st. Louis, Mo-"
The smooth shaved little man, who
is to be the watchdog of the Wilson
campaign money from now on, was
asked for vital statistics, whereupon
it was learned at first hand that he is
a banker and eX-mayor of st. Louis,
is fifty-six years old, was graduated at
Princeton in 1876, or three years be-
fore Governor Wilson was graduated;
that he has two sons who are Prince.
ton men and grandson who some
day will be Princeton man; that he
had no notion of seeing New York
this summer until the Wilson organi
cation selected him as its treasurer
and that just at present the one thing
that sticks out in the appointment in
his mind is that the new job cut in Sc.
riously upon a most beautiful vacation
which he and Mrs. Wells had been en-.
Toying in a camp at Little Traverse
bay, Michigan.
Mr.. Wells believes in getting at his
desk at o'clock in the morning.
I'VE are going to raise our cam.
paign fund through the small contribu
tions," said Mr. Wells.
81 am sure that a large part of the
money will be raised by popular sub.
scription.
THE people have confidence in
|, Woodrow Wilson, and they will give
wf1ati they can Of their means to elect
such-a man president.
81 am a great believer in publishing
broadcast, before and after election,
the various contributions made.
There are men who can well afford
to give the committee $4,000, but ]
want to assure the public that we arc
not going to have any tainted money.
I'VE are appealingto the people, and
we are relying on them to help elect
Wilson and Marshall.
81 have two boys who have been
graduated from Princeton, one five
years ago and one seven. But 1t is not
because ours is Princeton family
that like Governor Wilson. He is a
great big man and the type that we
should have in public life"

I think they are Gods flowers that BIOS
som year on year
Deep in the silent places where no man
knows the way.
Far in the tangled thickets, In countries
lone and drear.
On the unconquered hilltops where va
grant breeZes play
They bud and bloom and wither, they
grow and droop and die,
They uuaver to the raindrops, they
laugh back at the SUI
We call them wasted lowers' such loih
as you and /,
But the good God who makes them, he
sees them every one.
The vines are more than patient, they
wake to living green,
When comes the call Of summer their
banners are unfurled.
They stop not for complaining because
they are unseen,
They only know their duty within their
silent world
But one day when. unnoticed, they have
done all their task
There comes pilgrim faring on his un-
ending quest
And he finds shade and comfort wherein
to lie, and bask,
Finds soothing shade and shelter, and
quietness and rest.
Uncounted roses echo the redness OF the
dawn,
Store in their hearts the sweetness OF
all the honey dew;
The winds catch up their petals and bear
them on and on
Down trails and over pathways that
no man ever knew.
2,,t ono 6ay some Wayfarer Gomez on the
perfect rose
And marvels at It's sweetness and Won
ders at its grace,
And all that day thereafter whatever way
he goes
The blessing of Gods flower illumes his
wearied face.
So then, they aer Gods flowers; they nod
along the rill,
They blaze upon the prairie in carpet
ings Of gold,
They march in summers phalanX across
the frowning hill
Until their hidden message the silent
places hold.
A simple thought they foster: The kindly
word or deed
May seem to be forgotten in days OF
stress and strife,
But every heart-born kindness VIII nho
your fellows need
And bossom-a Gods flower In some
ones desert life.

her domestic duties alone. She wants
to do her share in problems OF the po-
litical and business world. Mrs. Mar
shall is said TO have discussed IN de-
tail with her husband his actions On
the Baltimore convention, and when II
was seen that Marshall was the man
who was going to go on the ticket
with Wilson he wanted to know what
his wife thought about it.
1T won't be any harder than being
Governor of Indiana, and II the party
thinks you are the man it only agrees
with my opinion" she said, and that
settled the matter with Governor Mar
shall.
Mrs. Marshall had the honor of be-
ing the first woman in Indiana TO hold
an office. She was appointed county
clerk of Steuben county by her father
and held that office for a number or
years.
When Governor Marshall and his
wife were about TO be married she de-
cided that her last official act Of the
office would be to make out the mar
riage license. Governor Marshall &C
companied his wife to the county
clerks Office and watched her with
care as she noted the records in the
big book and filled out the license and
watched her as she carefully signed
her fathers name, with her own as
deputy.
Mrs Marshall, having blotted the
ink, said, Nov We can go"
Not yet" laughed Governor Mar
shall.
why, we are all fixed" explained
Mrs Marshall, pointing to the license.
; Yes, but l have to pay for it" re-
piled the governor. Its all right for
You to make it out, but it's up to me
to pay the fee" And he did.
Mrs Marshall is a keen student,
;and, having established the practice of
going with her husband on all his
trips, be they short or long, they make
it a point to carry along some book
Mrs. Marshall is as much of a nu-
,maritarian as the governor. A glance
at some of the bills that have been
passed by the 1911 Indiana legislature
gives an insight into the governor:
To curtail child labor.
To regulate sale of cold storage pro-
ducts.
> To require hygienic schoolhouses
and medical examination of children.
To prevent blindness at birth.
To regulate sale of cocaine and 9TH
er drugs.
To provide free treatment for n.y.
drophobia.
To establish public Fairgrounds. =
To improve pure food laws.
To protect against loan sharks.
To provide police court matrons.
:. To prevent traffic in white slaves.
To permit night schools.
To require medical supplies as part
of train equipment.
Governor Marshall has also played
an active part in providing for protec-
ton of labor, as is exampled by the
following acts:
To create bureau OF INSPECTION
for workshops, factories, mines and
boilers.
To establish free employment agen-
cies.
To require full train crews.
To require safety devices on switch
engines.
To require efficient headlights on
engines.
To require standard cabooses.
To provide weekly wage, etc.
And Governor Marshall has con-
suited with his partner on all these
bills. He is quoted as saying a man
can't go far wrong in taking the ad-
vice of wife-if she. is his partner as
we'll as his wife.

In tho seam Of an old skirt Mrs.
Mary 0'Neil, an elderly incompe-
tent who died in a San francisco
hospital, carried with her for many
years handbook in which she was
credited with $4,000. Until four
years ago tie woman was housed at
the Relief Home and was thought
to be without money or friends. At
taches at the almshouse noticed that
she refused to change a certain
black skirt, which she had worn
when she came to the institution, and
that she would not allow the gar
ments out of her sight, even to be
sent to the laundry. This attracted
their attention and an investigation
was conducted, the handbook being
found, and, as result, she was sent
to the hospital. The city made
claim for several thousand dollars
against the money held in the bank
by Mrs. O'Neil, in payment for the
money expended in her behalf during
the years she was stationed at the
Relief Home. This claim brought
the estate down to $4,000.
