Travelling Men Talk Too Much?

There may be someone who has won.
dered why travelling statesmen or
"drummers" are such great story tell.
ers. There's reason.
The travelling salesman who has a
good sense of humor, who can tell q
good story and who reads good litera-
ture is bound to succeed, according to
Prof. E. ]. Swift, psychologist of
Washington university, who talked be-
fore business men ct the Cabanne
branch library. His subject was "The
Qualities of Salesman"
Professor Swift also said that most
travelling men talk too much and that
the smile and handshake Is overdone.
The salesman is too polite, the leo
turer said, and should learn to be a
good listener, and talk with" and not
'at" a man.-St. Louis Star.

APPLAUSE IS OF MANY KINDS
But There's Ne Mistaking the Genuine
Article, When 1t Is Heard, Says
Victor Murdoch.

With nearly every successful ad-
dress applause plays leading part.
writes Victor Murdoch in Golfers
Weekly. There are several varieties
of applause. The common variety is
the perfunctory handclap-a poor.
weak contribution which makes a but
tertiy look long lived in comparison
A second variety is the charity offer
ing of an audience to the oratorical
beggar.
The speaker ends profound decla-
ration with 6. pause which is next door
to an open declaration of war if the
audience doesn't come across. Or he
works himself up in series of mental
paroxysms which impel the auditors
to rush to his rescue before it is too
late. All spellbinders pocket this va.
riety of applause as real coin. OF
course it is nothing of the kind.
The genuine issue in laudation is a
spontaneous and volcanic eruption of
approval and delight. 1t blows out
violently from the subterranean fires
of folk, and when it has reached its
climax there comes, suddenly and gor-
geously from the midst of it a second
and more terrible explosion, and as
this is reaching it's highest point. a
third and seismic spasm rockets UP
through bedlam and overwhelms ev-
erything and everybody. This is the
real thing. 1t cannot be made to or
der and it cannot be counterfeited.
The prearranged outbursts at national
political conventions following the
nominations are pitiable attempts to
manufacture it. Claques and coteries
of devotees try occasionally to pro-
duce it mechanically. They never do
successfully.
All veteran speakers know it, and
having experienced it, live on in the
bright expectancy of the golfer who
has accidentally driven 275 yards and
believes that any minute it is liable
to be done again. There are many
communities which have never wit
messed such scene. They never will

The Maqnanimous Spirit.

If a man cannot escape the ordeal
of jealousy, it will be best for him to
conceal the feeling; he should be mag
unanimous and just in every reference
to his rival. 1t is great test of
true manliness of spirit to discuss the
merits of rival with fairness. bu
if man can do so, such a course car

woman that he is one Of natures no
