IF the will is the mechanical force
of the soul, above all things let it be
strong. DULY a strong will can
make a strong man. Some men
float with circumstances, and then
complain of them. Some men breast
them, and turn them to fortune and
virtue. But it is all in the will that
the difference lies.
o we'll for him. whose will is strong!
He suffers. but he will not suffer long,

| I'D ALEXANDER was an Indian
One day he got a hold of some
cheap wiskey. The wiskey made
him crazy and while in this state he
killed the woman with whom he had
been living.
All this happened out in San Fran
cisco. The strong arm of the law
reached out and gathered in Ed.
a solemn judge conducted a fair
trail and sober jury unanimously
opined that Ed killed the woman
and therefore was guilty of murder
in the first degree.
In California they still hang men
So last week when the day of his
doom had arrived, Ed said he was
ready to have the state kill him but
indicated that it would please him
considerable if he could have a little
music before the slaughter.
AS there is nothing in the Califor-
MA statutes made and provided for
bidding m u s i c | accompaniment
while the state is choking the life
out OF man, the warden at San
Quentin granted Eds request and
the prison band played a concert
for the benefit Of the condemned
prisoner.
just what the band played while
the deputies were dragging Ed onto
he gallows, the newspaper accounts
10 not say, but it probably was ap-
oropriate selections such as. Get

anything else that confronts the
knight OF the grip, when the time
comes for an accounting Of expense
money.
The gentleman who cuts and slash
es the boys expense memoranda is
usually one who has been tbro the
mill himself and can detect pad
ding and extras with what seems
an unerring instinct. Nearly all
large firms maintaining a corps of
travelling statesmen insist on having
receipts for every dollar expended.
or allow a fixed amount per week
covering all expenses. Swift and

Should it be possible to cover the
route on less than rs dollars then
the salesman is the gamer. Swift
and Go. require receipts for fares
spent on electric roads, carriage hire
and telephone calls; no refund is
made.
The man with blue pencil is not
the only person whose activities bring
sorrow to the man far away on his
territory. The other fellow is usu-
ally the sales manager, the party who
fairly revels in comparison sales re-
ports and sends you letters full of
reasons why you should sell more
goods at higher prices than you have
been doing. There are also numer-
GUS sarcastic sentences about GETTING
new business and allusion to the
wonderful work accomplished by
your immediate predecessor. These
letters are what the salesmanager
calls his ginger talks" and putting
ginger into a road salesman is con-
