Samuel u bully good fellow. and
a. smart ~ . steel trap. He gets
results and he Is making good In
business.
Sam has an excellent personality

Life.
some day Samuel win break HIM
self thru his line Of pifiinS talk, or
else he win BE- steering some busi-
ness to success. All this depends
upon whether he can overcome his
super optimistic imagination which
causes him to stretch little things
into big ones.
For example, a snort time ago his
boss asked him whether he though:
alphabetical or geographical files
were best for their business.
Sam advised geographical files and
he gave excellent reasons why he
advised them.
That same evening he was telling
a certain young Miss, who expected
some day TO receive from Samuel the
degree of Mrs." that the boss had
called him in for a conference.

organization Of this office. Something

that fling, for instance, 1t not at all
right. Just think over how the
whole office should be reorganized!
Samuel tucked his girls arm within
his. and with an air Of patronizing
proprietorship said, He didn't say
that he was going to make me office
manager, but I can read between the
lines all right"
No, Samuel is not a liar, but he
cannot help stretching fact until 1t
loses all resemblance to its original
form. There is nothing malicious or
vicious about Samuel. He is the
most good hearted chap you ever
met. He has a good cnance of sue
ceeding, for he is always willing to
help everybody. Unfortunately for
Samuel, everybody knows Of his
habit of exaggeration, with the re-
suit that everything he says is

their lives depend more upon these
special powers than his does; but he
can outwit them all because he has
the resourcefulness OF reason and IS
at home in many different fields.

The Des Moines Capital says the
president does not hold office by
divine right. He Is the employe OF
the people. He is their agent. And
it is wronk for him TO assume that
the presidential office represents his

of President Wilson's recent action
is to know that he feels that the

polite waiter who told him halt

1.-THE most important single factor
in the success of any salesman Is
Just plain. ordinary, everyday nara
work. There is no substitute Tor
hard work. II you undertake to sell
goods because you are led to believe
that It's an easy Job, you had better
stop before you start. Any young
man starting out TO sell goods should
expect to work hard. Most sales
men who fail do not realize that the
greatest single factor In success 49,
indeed, just one thing. stop to
think of one feature of It. You can
not sell one single dollars worth OF
goods unless you can actually find

competition, the mere physical labor
OF finding the buyer is no small item
in the salesmans work. 1t Is true
that after you've found him your
real work as a salesman begins, but

THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF AN
EGG.
CHAPTER II

Chapter II.
The cold storage plant produced
no effect upon me except an addt-
tional numbness My memory of the
place is but a frosty dream. Only
whispers from the outside world
reached us. Each year we learned
that eggs were becoming scarcer.
Finally the issue was hurled into the
fiery arena of national politics. The
Egg party, led by few rich and
signaling malefactors who had Sc
cretly accumulated considerable
stocks of eggs, demanded the de-
naturalization of hens on the ground
that the government had failed in
persuading them to lay.
The proletariat, Infatuated at this
arrogant assumption of superior ef-
ficiency, rose to man. In the mad
riots that followed hundreds Of gov
eminent controlled hens. many Of
them superannuated hens on pen
sion. were blindly slaughtered. while
thousands of respectable. middle
aged eggs were injured beyond re-
pair. Yet l am proud to say that
from this terrible upheaval the rep
utation of the egg-at-large emerged
unblemlshed, aye, even enhanced.
This was the beginning Of the great
egg famine.
l pass lightly over the years that
follow, merely touching upon ono
early romance. A certain brunette
egg. attracted by my charms, had
managed to get himself secreted

to reach my side. Finally, on my
twenty first birthday, he rolled down

staggered little and then sank into
a stupor beside me.
This, OF course, was an embar-
RAISING not to say compromising
contretemps. But about this time a
man, whom I shall always consider
my savior, secured admission to our
sanctum. heard him explain to
the attendant that for many years
he had been a dramatic critic and

ago. I afterward learned that he Sc.
