THE IMPORTANCE OF
CONFIDENCE

nNCE a mans confidence is
" gained his trade is assured.
This is a business rule that is
almost an axiom. To gain this
confidence it necessarily follows
that the merchant must first
make the acquaintance of the
customer After that it is a
question of give and take.
1T is CONFIDENCE LONG
AND CAREFULLY FOSTER
ED THAT HAS BEEN ONE
OF THE MAINSTAYS OF THE
NAIL ORDER HOUSES. The
only weakness In the fabric has
been that the trade relations of
buyer and seller were to a great
extent impersonal. Naturally.
there is no commercial conf
dence quite as firmly based as
that which exists between the
individual merchant and the in
dividual customer, who deal face
to face.
Now is the time for the local
merchant to develop this conf
dence in the wider field which
the parcel post has opened to
him. He can reach customers
within his zone at less cost and
far more expeditiously and sat
isfactorily than any mail order
house. Once the buying public
becomes aware of this fact it
will speedily transfer its allie
glance from the mail order
houses and deal with the man
near home

called on me one day last week to
receive help in securing passports
to foreign countries. He is making
two-year tour around the world

he called he had driven from New

230 miles, in less than ten hours.
Kohl depends upon contributions to

EvlcTED vIcERoY FROM HOME
Element Of Humor In Recent Action
Of Petulant Government Of New
South Wales.

Australia is a land of political ex-
periments. The latest of these is the
eviction OF the governor-general or
viceroy, the Official representative of
the king. 1t is the government of
New South Wales that has performed
this astonishing feat. and the indigna-
ticn which burst forth at the moment
is giving way to prolonged laughter.
Since the union of the colonies under
the name of the Commonwealth Of
Australia. it has been the habit of the
encouragement to live for a part Of
the year at Sydney. New South Wales.
and for the other part at Melbourne.
Victoria, Government house at Sydney
is the property of the government Of
New South Wales, having been the
residence of the governors of that col
only before the commonwealth was
formed; but the colonial government
gladly lent it to the viceroy of all Aus
tralia for the honor of his presence
In the city.
But the government of the colony
recently took offense at the proposal
of the federal government for the es-
tablishmsnt by the commonwealth OF
a post ONCE savings bank. which
would have come into competition
with the New South Wales State Saw
ings bank, and rashly resolved to en-
phasize its opposition. hoping perhaps
to brighten the federal government
from it's purpose. by resuming posses
sion of government house and thereby
turning out the governorgeneral. The
deed has been done and Lord Den
ham has left the city, cheered all
along the route to the railway station
by the citizens, and presented on their
behalf by the lord mayor with an adj
dress expressing love and loyalty, con-
demning the action Of the government

ROYAL HEADS NOT ALL WEAK
Seine Able Men Among Those Who
Are At Present the Occupants Of
European Thrones.


Though the kings and princes Of
Europe include some sadly deterior-
ated physical specimens. 1t would be
a mistake to suppose that they have
not some able men among them. Prob
ably they average as high In mental
ability as kinds did In the middle ages
when they not only reigned, but gov
erned. The German emperor is .
strong ruler, and Francis Joseph Of
Austria has sailed his crazily built en-
pire on q very even keel for many
years.
Victor Emmanuel of Italy IL q very
prudent and clever man. who can
think and act on his own responsible
ity, and Alfonso Of Spain is q man Of
great spirit and an able politician.
Ferdinand Of Bulgaria Is cutting a
wide swath just at present. and IL
credited with brains.
George v. Of England is common
place. but prudent. Accounts of the
character and ability of the Russian
Car differ widely. Some who have
seen him credit him with great abil-
ity, but the course Of events in Russia
does not seem to justify this estimate.
King Haakon of Norway is undoubted-
ly q clever man, and King George OF
Greece has been an excellent diplo-
matte agent for the Hellenic kingdom.
as well as q shrewd moderator of the
personal ambitions of Greek states
