The performance OF the "Deestric
Skule" was revelation in more
respects than one. 1t added to the
general belief that, when a woman
makes up her mind, she's going to
have it that way or die. Whoever
would have believed that A. c. Nc
Cormack could have been turned into
an awkward, stumbling school boy
and grasp the humor of the situat on
like An old-time actor; that Sheriff
Brewster could be made to make the
public declaration that NUNS the

paint could be made to paint their
cheeks and stick candy in the mouths
Of grown up boys; that Deputy Clerk
ellis could get woman to wipe h
nose. after he had nearly rubbed it
OF himself. Yet all these things
were done by the order of commit

school rally, and they certainly did
raise it. for the big pavilion was

II. however. they give him q chance
to explain then the case Ia different.
II would be a poor salesman that
couldn't explain away anything between
the covers OF an expense book.
For this reason some firms won't let
a salesman explain. They know he can
convince them that h, IL right, even
when they know that he knows that he
Is wrong.
OF course there are some drummers
that would let the house dance the
tango all over their classic features and
put tacks on their chairs and salt In
the sugar bowl before they'd up and
quit. But We are talking here about
statesmen.
when Profr used TO travel out Of
Hlcksville he at first was as shy as
a youths whiskers when II came to
trapeze performances with the expense
book. His work was lumpy and rudi-
mentary.
Half the time ne was scared to q pea

other half he was scared to cabbage

early for to-day's train you will be in

AND THERE. and enter the 50 cents. no
matter how many irritable Isidors are

Too much emphasis cannot be laid
upon this point or course you could
lay go much upon II that you'd break
its back. but what we mean Is that you
should make a special point OF entering
every expense the very moment II IL
contracted. no matter where you happen
TO be.
n you happen to be In bed At the time
dreaming of long and lovely one about
being the genial host at a champagne
diner you are giving to some OF the
trade. Just tell the waiter to see that he
glasses are kept full all around and then
get up and light the gas and slap down
the amount of the dinner check In your
expense book.
Never guess at your expenses unless
you have worked on statistics and can
guess accurately and consistently all the
way through-say about 25 to 90 per
cent. advance, according to the condi-
ton OF the liver OF the crablet that
checks up the books at the office.
In the case we cited up-page the price
OF the ticket TO Bughouston. for example
was AZ cents and you schmoosed II in
at SO cents. There was no guesswork
about that. You knew there was a neat
little profit OF exactly 40 cents In II for
thou, and that is good enough for

course II you had to take long voyage

larger claim.

OMETrME somewhere in the long
lank Ago a Salesman with pi-
~ rates nerve stuffed his Expense
Book until It's nose bled and sent
II staggering in to Dear Firm without
apology and without shame. Then he
went into politics and got his nose red
and learned to talk out Of the corner
Of his gasser and became tho ruler OF
q great city.
But ever since that day all Expense
Books have been looked upon with
a large comprehensive Suspicion. II
makes no difference whether the entries
are as humble as Two Spot Salesman
when the Boss is around or as arrogant
a. a Two Spot Salesman when the Boss
isn't around. All Expense Books are
in for a rigid physical Examination
when they come under the big bright
eye OF His Nibs the Kanoop.
There is no use. therefore, trying to
allay this Suspicion. You couldn't allay
Il with a club. What you want to do
IL to enter your daily expenses. both
real and imaginary. in such way that
all ratty business is carefully screened
from tho naked eye.
Never make an entry in such n way

or a couple Of large Sample Rooms, and
II will GO through all right.
Most Firms supply their Travellers
with Expense Books for which they
charge nothing. The Travellers do all
the charging that is necessary. Some
Firms have these Books specially gotten
up for them by some slim gentleman
who has never been on the Road, and
therefore they are both practical and
convenient. All you've got to do is
to take n short Course at a Business
College in order TO understand them.

We have cited one OF Proff's early
mistakes merely for the benefit OF those
Students who are travelling for Two

are working for such a concern you
cant reasonably expect to cram n GO

One time one Of our Students wrote us
that our Course was nix glox because
we didn't explain why it was that a
Salesman could cram his Expense Book
until ii choked to death and still come
out as short as the hair on an apple
when IT came time to balance up the
cash He said he was a bright young
man In other respects and could hear
any piece OF music once and go home
and play II right Off on the piano.
Now while We concede that no Sales
man running at large has ever vet
charged up as much as he spent. and
all that sort of thing, still we believe
that any Salesman Of ordinary lntelli-
gence. or Tobacco Salesman, who fol-
lows our instructions right up close. and
doesn't expect the instructions to folicw
him and fiirt with him, can come out on
Velvet Avenue every time.
OF course II he makes n practice OF
