Muscles All Important.

The problem Of ultimate origins is beyond
our mental reach, no matter how great our
faith. The real behavior OF mind is some
thing we cannot fathom. but we can know q
good deal about the instrument that speaks.
moves sees, feels. loves. wills. However
metaphysical in the final analysis the Il '
and the You" may be, in our practical
everyday contact with the world We are
physical things, made up OF muscles that
weary and nerves that fray.
Our bodies are the only instruments
through which and by means Of which we
can demonstrate what we are. Just SO much
inertia Of body as we can overcome, just SO
much more skilled or adapted are we for
facile communication with theworld.
II we ara I'll even in mind our troubles must
be reached through the physical instrument.
We are beginning TO learn that II we are
failures-ill In our life anairs-the fault may
be In large part q physical one, or at any
rate that we may be made successful through
physical regulation Our physical response
to the world has been wrong.

Old Methods Failed.


He was accustomed to seeing the multitude
follow q few leaders. They would buy when
one Of the big men in the neighborhood
did so. and It was only matter Of getting the
signatures OF these men TO make a large
number Of sales In any particular COM
munity.
The salesman tried this method on the
country merchant but without results. He
quoted authorities on the subject, he quoted
his prospects, competitor. he quoted every
one but himself. On several OF these oc-
casions when he felt sure Of an order his
customer would suddenly lose interest in him
and his proposition as-the mention OF some
name At first he paid little attention TO
these occurrences. but after meeting with
repeated rebuffs It became apparent to him
that there was something radically wrong.

the mystery became.

moned up all his courage and asked the mer-
chant whether the authority he was quoting

Adopted Novel Plan.

This way Of doing business was entirely
new to him, and to get more orders It was
necessary to know more about his propo-
sition and be>ablesto readily answer every
question. To become more efficient In
answering the prospective customer he fol-
lowed an entirely new and novel plan Of
instructing himself. When alone in his room
at the hotel he would stand before the
mirror and sell the proposition to his own
image He found himself one OF the hardest
customers to please. and often brought for
ward arguments that appeared almost
ridiculous, but In the end he was always
able to convince himself that he had the
best proposition on the market
This mode OF being both buyer and sales
man taught him many lessons. and he be-
came accustomed to answer every counter
proposition that the prospective buyer could

This told him plainly that there was ennity
