Let every salesman labor to accom plish, let hhn look to the Joys that -ome from a task well done, rather than to the price he is paid for the Jolng of It. We will be very much disappointed If there Is not one hundred members present at Faturday night's meeting. Come. j ram ynur mina to detect the im j.ortant and to overlook the unlm portent. Mr. Salesman, you cannot sell goods without some trouble. If all you had to do was to go around and book or ders you would give your Job tip pret ty soon. i A salesman to be a big success must be an expert at "butting In." But he muot learn to "butt In" with tact end grace. a way with if; persons would ask for and Insist upon having new and clean small bills from banks and commer cial houses. Much of what he says about the danger ot contagion from dirty money is true. Even where money is not "tainted" it is very often unclean. TIe Question of Compensation. A writer of the employing class lays down this principle of fair treat ment of employes: "Let me say, that no business man can afford to pay his help leas than a sum on which thev can llveln a decent, comfortable and self-respecting way. Repeatedly I have started salesmen at one-third greater salaries than they themselves asked. Some people would think mat nothing less than lunacy but I know better. Why did I do itT Because a knew the amount the man asked for, was the measure of his desire to get work, and not his normal necessities. Whea you allow a man entrusted wiui the making and keeping of your trade for you to undertake that Important work on shjrt rations, you put your self in the foolish position of impos ing a handicap on the very horse on whleh you have put your money." llou.se Letters. The sales manager of one of the largest and most successful manufac turing concerns in the United States makes an observation with which J am. certain many travelers will agree, It is as follows: "A fatal mistake many manufacturers make is sending nagging and discouraging letters to their salesmen, especially when they have a run of had luck. What is wanted at this time is letters of en couragement the salesman meets with sufficient stumbling blocks on his travels. Keep your salesmen post ed up to date with all the details per taining to their department; show them that you have their welfare at heart. You may realize when It Is toe late that' your representatives or sales men have the making or marring or your business. Canadian Commercial Traveler. His Share. Tom Pipa, I want a bicycle.

The year 1907 waa a period of re markable growth for the Order of United Commercial Travelers of America. There waa initiated during that year a total of 9,048 good men and true, against a total of 7,1(1 for the yeas- 1K06, a gain of 1,887 mem bers. The tirtal membership of the order, as near as it can be arrived at by a hurried digest of the returns to the supreme office on the first day of January, 108. was 45,122. Much larger disbursements were made both from the indemnity fund and widows' and orphans' fund of the order during the year 1(07, than the year 10. The records of the year show that there was paid out for ac cident benefits and accidental deaths In that period, the sum of $313,895.22, against the sum of $242,273.21 In 1906. In the year 1907 there was paid out for the relief of dependent bene ficiaries ' and orphans of deceased members of the order, the (Urn of 324.448.S7, against the sum of 118, 650.2S in 1906. Taking the excess in the disbursements in these two departments for the year Just past, over that which preceded It and we may say that the order was able through these agencies to do $77. 420.33 more good during the year 1907 than during the year 1906, even though most of us did not receive these benefits, but are satiatled, as Brother J. V. Ferns, of Waterloo, Iowa, puts it to pay out regular as sessments and dues and let the guar antee of protection be our dividend. The year 1907 has not only wit nessed phenomenal growth, but great expansion of the order. There have been instituted during the year one grand council and flfty-slx subordinate councils, or more than an average of one new subordinate council a week throughout the year. With the order's twenty-five grand councils and 409 subordinate councils all alive and ac tive, the order practically covers the entire United States and four Cana dian provinces, and there remains but Nevada, Wyoming, iNew Mexico and Arizona' In which no council of the order exists. Truly, this Is a grand accomplishment to have been brought about since the 18th day of January, 188S. ' , . 1 , Tlie nadgo -l)ld It. The Mount Pleasant (Mich). Times publitthed a touching story u short time ago. A little 8-year-old girl was on one of the evening trains which arrived there. She was accompanied by a bodyguard of seven big. strap ping men. Her every want was anti cipated, and every attentlnn possible waa given her. Tho llltlo girl's story was a sad one. Bereft of father and mother at once by a terrible accident In a llttlo town In Wisconsin, she had been put on board a train and tk-kcted to Monroe, Mich. ' Nearlng Mount Pleasant, sho learn ed that she must spend the night there alone and among strangers. fo wonder the little heart was breaking and the little body was shaking with convulsive sobs. The frightened, distressed look upon her face appealed to a gentleman sit ting near, and sympathetic consola tion drew from her the sad story, j hlle she Was telling him the facts he noticed upon the handkerchief around h?r neck a pin corresponding to the one he wore upon his watch guard. She told him It belonged to her papa. Little did she understand Its value, but it proved a talisman, for the gentleman soon passed through the train and found six simi lar badge, and as soon as the story was- told seven mvn were devoting themselves to the llttlo girl. Among the number was one who lived in the city. She , was taken to l)ls home, cared- for among his own dear ones and escorted to the southbound train In the morning. The badge did It. Sure, it might have happened without, but it was a reminder to them of the obligations of duty. It drove away the clouds, and seven men were better and stron ger for the incident.
