PHILADELPHIA, Feb. salesman
I ship takes many forms. Here is one
unique. Smith, who is an officer Of a
speciality concern Of international promi-
nence, occasionally goes to Europe,
Asia, South Africa Latin America to
look over the agencies of his company
In foreign fields. He Is a man of fine
address, speaks various languages and is
highly educated. On his return from a
South American trip he had occasion to
go to Washington. There he met the
ambassadors of various of the repub-
lies to the south of US. One of them
said he was going to visit Philadelphia,
whereupon the American asked the privi-
lege of being his host while In the
Quaker City. The ambassador accepted
the invitation.
A month or two later the ambassador
notified the American he would arrive
on a certain day at a certain hour. The
American met him at the station.
"I live modetsly," said the American
while they were journeying in an auto
mobile to his home.
"That Is WELL" replied the ambassa-
dor.
They drove up to the house in which
the American had q bachelor apartment,
and as they entered the speciality mans
quarters the ambassador halted and
stood at attention, for the moment the
door was opened the ambassador heard
on a photograph the opening bars Of
the national anthem of his native land.
He stood rigid until the close Of the
anthem. Then he bowed to his host. -
The dinner that evening was simple,
but delightful to the guest. The host

of q woman lying, barring our path.
Her clothes were the merest rags. Her
face was pinched and seemed transpar-

her eyes staring. l stopped and put my
my hand against her cheek. It was quite
cold. She had been dead for hours
but no one had noticed, people had passed
and repassed, thinking her simply sleep

under the feet of passers-by. No one
had cared.
perhaps in one Of the American or
phanages a child of hers was being fed
and clothed and taught to read and write.
Perhaps in some retreat in the hills above
the Arax River her husband kept guard
of the road below, lest raiding Tarter
bands sweep to the Armenian capital and
lay It waste. Perhaps, however, she was
the last to go-the children dead on the
long ghastly march from Turkey, the
husband one of the 10000 who held the
rear guard against the advancing horde,
who died one by one that the children
might 90 safe. Who knows?

no more.

making the present crop reach just as
far as in all fairness is possible, to-

we will make great progress this year,

will have most Of our chattel in

BLIND TRACTOR EX-
PERT MAKES GOOD

A North Dakota young man, blind
ed by gas during his service in France
has become a tractor expert.
The United States Veterans Bur-
eau rehabilitated him by giving him
course at The Evergreen School for
the Blind at Baltimore, where he
learned to read and write Braille,
which is the system of writing in use
among the blind. He also learned to
use the typewriter. He was then CIV
en- a course in State Auto School,
specializing IN tractor designing, and
later was given placement training in
a big tractor factory. Being natur-
ally Of mechanical turn of mind and
an alert young man he not only be-
came a good tractor mechanic, cap
able of making ordinary adjustments
and repairs, but real tractor expert.
He is now devoting a great deal Of
his time to what is apparently we'll
conceived plan for new type of trac-
tor. At present he has only one or
two problems to be solved before his
design is completed.
