Mrs. Henderson was left a wi,

1910 when her husband, a deputy

duty. She supported herself and

every kind of mental work. She
finally became keeper of d board
ing house in Blountstown.
She was religious woman and
tried to rear her children right,
But She didn't seem to be- able to
do anything with her oldest .soh,
Bill. He began to show criminal
tendencies while yet very young.
While still d minor, he entered
upon an active career Of crime.
Mrs Henderson spent the pittance
her husband had left. and most Of
what little she could earn, keep

Finally, he committed a crime
(which placed him beyond the help

another and not one who under
takes to force the conclusions OF
another.
The more pressure you bring to
bear upon a man the more you
arouse his stubbornnesS and oppo-
sition. And the more you let him
run on in his own way and steer
him a bit the more likely he is to
come to your conclusion.
A great salesman says in describ-
ing his interview with someone he
wished to influence:
There were at least three times
during the conversation that I felt
like interrupting him by saying
that knew all about what he was
going to tell me. But did I once
butt in? My mission was not to i'm
press upon him what well in
formed man I was, but to get him
in a friendly frame of mind and
thus disposed to do what I wanted
him to do.
"We are vain lot, we humans.
We may hate to admit it, but the
deep truth is that we like the
people who make us feel in love
with ourselves" This is a good
point for us all to remember. It is
pretty hard sometimes to repress
our ego, but it is a good business
policy not to be too vain.

Making
An Impression
Rambling Thoughts By The
Philosopher

There is a suggestion made re-
Gently as a business tip:
"Be more willing to let the other
fellow make an impression on you
than anxious to make an impress
sion upon him."
This is a good rule to adopt in
all our relations withour fellows.
Every man is vain and likes to
hear himself talk. No man likes to
have another man do his thinking
for him or to come to his conclu-
sion for him.
1t is much better to leave man
alone and let him come to his own
reasoning than it is to talk too
much.
A glib salesman who is over-lo-
quaciouS often defeats his own
ends. And a good listener usually
is good salesman.
There is more power in a sug-
gestion than in an argument. And
the salesman who is successful is
one who is a successful steerer of

CLEE CLUB PLAYS
LORDS PRAYER
Enthusiastic Audience
Hears Wake Forest
Music Group

The Wake Forest Glee club and
orchestra ere heard by an en-
thusiastic audience at the high
school auditorium last night in a
program that ranged from
Malotte's The Lords Prayer
and the Gloria from Mozart's
Twelfth Mass to Romberg's mel
odic Serenade, the ever beautiful
Calm as the Night, a Russian
Hymn by Lvoff and several spirit
uals.
The high lights, in the opinion
of this writer. were The Lords
Prayer" which is even more i'm
pressive when sung by an en-
semble than by a %soloist, and
Dark Water by James. In both
the glee club was at its best in
precision, control, unison and un-
derstanding. 1t could have been
wished that the rule prohibiting
applause for sacred music might
have been set aside after 1T h e
Lords Prayer if only to show
the deep appreciation of the audi
tors. AS an offset, perhaps, there
was noticeable a deep sense of
