YES OR NO.

Mr.. c. e. E. USHER is the passen-
ger traffic manager of the Canadian
Pacific railway, the longest railroad
in the world. He could not help be-
ing loaded with experience, for his
activities extend across the continent
and over two oceans.
The other day | asked him to say
a few words before one of my bust
ness classes. He made the shortest
speech of the year-just sixty words
and every one of them weighed a ton.
He said:
Young ladies are popularity sup
posed to be concerned chiefly with
the words Yes and No. but, judg
ing by my forty years experience,
you, who will be stenographers, are
| chiefly concerned with the word Not.
If it be omitted, and the stenographer
makes one say am willing when he
really said I am not willing, great
trouble results"
Millions of dollars have been lost
| because a telegraph operator wired
stock broker to buy, when the mes
sage read not to buy.
Even more millions Of dollars have
| been sidetracked because some stenog-
rapher wrote Il will" instead Of 81
will not" and her employer signed
the letter without reading it-care-
| less of him, of course-with a re-
sultant tremendous loss.
The moral world as we'll as the
| business world, swings on Eyes" and
NO." 81 will" and Il will not"
Saying yes" at the right time may
stand for success, and saying mo"
at the wrong time may encourage fail
ure.
Il will do 1t" may be the phrase
which carries you into prominence,
and Il will not do it" may save your
money and your reputation.
If you are a stenographer, learn the
use of yes" and mo-" Il will" and
Il will not" and never write them
| into letter, or repeat them, unless
you are sure that you understood
your employer Alright; and then, If
you are certain that you did. but have
a suspicion that what he said was not
what he meant, be careful.
The clerks who rise from the ranks
are those who do not follow direc-
lions blindly. They understand the
| why, and when they write out what is
told them, or speak the words which
| they have been ordered to deliver
they have back of them the certainty
that they are following directions, and
the further guaranty, due to their
judgment. that what their employer
said he meant to say.
First of all be accurate. In taking
shorthand notes. use the utmost care
In delivering messages, use the ut.
most care. In carrying out the most
important orders, in carrying out the
least important orders, use the utmost
care. And with that care, employ
your brains.
Think! II note, if a message, II
an order, seems strange to you, think
it over quietly. If it still seems
strange after you have given II
thought, If you can see no reason
for it, go to the one who is RESPONSE
BILE for it and learn the why, or al
least be assured that you have made
no mistake No man wants an EN-
ployee who does not think, nor does
he want one who will follow orders
blindly. He is not infallible. Some
day he may make mistake, and he
will then ppreciate-perhaps substan
tially-the clerk who thinks, and
shows that he thinks.

BRUCE a1aToa: za;z.: -
TN Erewhon people were sent to Jail for eating
the wrong food
Il Ever hear of Erewhon?
1t is mythical country which man named
Samuel Butler wrote about.
This is what gathered says old Samuel Buer. That in
that country falls into ill health catches disorder
jury of his counrymen and convicted is held public
scorn and sentenced to jail But if man FORCES eheque
criminal country he either taken hospital and
he let's it known to all his friends that he suffer
ing from severe fit of immortality just we do when
ILL., and they and visit him with great ocitude, and in
quire with interest how all about what symptoms first
showed themselves etcquesions which he will with
perfect unreserve.
Butler says he visited a court in Erewhon and
saw the prisoners being sentenced for eating i'm
properly and otherwise inuring their health. To
one hardened criminal the Judge said
Prisoner at the bar have been accused of the
crime OF abong under pulmonary consumption, and after
found guilty This is not your first ofense; have
bronchitis last and find that although only
twenythree old have been imprisoned less than
fourteen times for illnesses of less hateful character
In Erewhon, you see, the who lets his
health go to pieces is counted greater criminal
than the man who burns down barn or forges
check.
His health is part of the States assets by
running 1T he defraudS the State, and lncurS
punishment.
There is something to be said in favor of the
Erewhon custom.
We are too sympathetic with certain sorts of
sick people. They sick because of their own
bad habits usually because they eat too much
or eat the wrong kind of food.
They are very careful that the oil they buy
for their automobiles shall be of precisely the
right grade but they never stop to ask them
selves, cam | eating the food that is calculated

CAMBRIDGE WILL HAVE
BASE BALL TEAM
Work of Organization Has Been
Started-New Management This
Season-Likely That an Executive
Committee Will Have Charge of
Expenditures.

Baseball is a popular sport; it is
an amusement that attracts a larger
number of people than any other
form of sport known; it is popularity
patronized from one end of this
country to the other; there is hardly
a village or hamlet that has not a
baseball team of some kind or other.
There are a large number of people
in Cambridge and the vicinity who
want to see Cambridge have a good
team, and who are willing to help
bear the expense in this connection.
But these people want the proper as
surances that the money which they
subscribe will not be wasted, that it
will be so expended as to get the
expenditures.
The baseball enthusiasts realize
this fact, and in order to make GER
| tain that the team is placed upon a
proper business basis this year, it is
the intention of those connected with
it to endeavor to enlist the active
support, not alone in means, but in
the management as well, of num-
Der of good business men, men who
know the value of organization. and
also the. value of dollar.
The general impression seems to
prevail that the proper way to set
about organizing a team is to engage
a capable manager, one who has had
experience, who has good judgment,
not only of players, but of their cost,
who can get team work out of them,
who will be steady in a crisis, and
not think it necessary to engage ev-
cry player in the United States be-
cause his team has lost a game; who
will expect to lose some games and
will not go up in the air on this 'ac-
count, but who, instead, will see the
weak points and get rid of them in
a sensible way.
AS was stated in a recent article
in this paper, it is the intention not
to have more than twelve players on
the payroll at any one time. If
Salisbury, Easton, Seaford, Dover,
Milford and other places get into the
game, together there will be an
agreement not to hire each others
players, and there will also be an I'M
derstanding among them about the
number of players to be carried on
the payroll.
1t is expected that the team will
be gotten together the last week in
this month, and that perhaps two
games will be played here that week.
On the Fourth of July there will be
at least one game. All of this, how
ever, depends upon the interest dis
played by the public. If the people
want a good team, such team will
be placed in the field, but it is only
right that those interested should
give some manifestation of their in
terest and not expect a few people
to do all the work.
