fop Employers
A brigadier general in the world of
finance had an idea that a railroad
would be built through his neighbor-
hood some day by some one. In
order to have a share in the profits
he decided to build a piece of road
abont sixty miles long, and he went
at it without a charter. By his own
personality he won the owners of the
land and when an obstinate individual
would attempt to hold him up for a
certain piece of the right of way he
would have a simple conversation
with him and things would be ar-
ranged just as he wanted them. Oth-
ers knew what he was doing and they
started occasional troubles among the
workingmen, which the bosses were
unable to handle; but this man of
skill would go among the men aud
in half an hour everything would be
working satisfactorily. He finished
his road, which connected nothing
with nothing, and a little later it be-
came a link in a railway chain which
connected two important cities and
is now part of a large trunk system.
Collecting Accounts.
The collection of small accounts by
mail is probably one of the most dif-
ficult things for any one to attempt.
A good letter is always better than
a poor collector, and it may be that
a good collector will do still better
work than a good letter. A man
writes to me that he had officomeu
who could collect down to three ptr
cent by letter, while others were not
able to get below fifteen per cent. He
wanted to know what I could do to
help his helpers. 1 don't know what
I could do; but I believe it is possible
to paint the masterpieces of the art
galleries by machinery when we know
how to make the machines.
XtPs
Securing Business.
The expense of securing business is
one of the uncomfortable things in
many lines of work. Here is a college
with buildings, instructors and an en-
dowment suitable for four hundred
students, yet they have only one hun-
dred and seventy-five. No one doubts
there being two hundred and twenty-
five students in the legitimate terri-
tory of the college, each of whom
would be greatly benefited by the in-
struction aud who could and would
attend if the subject were rightly pre-
sented to them. A correct presenta-
tion of the subject requires genuine
ability of a special order. The man
who can secure the most business
may not be able to make an Intelli-
gent report for his employer regard-
ing his work. A Chicago instructor
told me about a two-dollar-a-day man
who did not know what to do with
himself, but who finally drifted to
South America and secured $30,000
worth of business for a certain con-
cern, after which his employer put
him on a salary of $10,000 a year to
handle foreign business.
Managing Men.
A Presbyterian minister told ma
that more ministers failed on account
of lack of ability to manage others
than for any other reason. This may
be true of inen in other lines of work.
Some men can manage an army of so-
licitors in a way to keep them good-
na:ured, hopeful, growing and suc-
cessful. A good manager is a balance
wheel, causing the business to meve
steadily, not too fast nor too slow.
But he becomes more than tbat, as
he advances in Intelligence, turning
out better produc ts day after day. Hks
success is dependent upon Ills man-
ner and methods, kcowledge and en-
ergy, health and continued growth.
His ability must be going upward
every day he is in the harness.
Learning Methods.
A quarter of a century ago 1 went
with a playmate to a factory whero
his uncle was polishing ferrules. The
uncle handed me a ferrule, but some-
thing In mv playmate's face caused
j mo to refuse it. After we got away
from the sparks and noise 1 asked
| what was the matter with the ferrule
| and he told me it was hot. I in-
| quired how it was his uncle could
bold it, and he said that his uncle
held it on two fingers, and then two
other fingers, changing back and
forth, something which 1 bad not rec-
ognized. Ever since then 1 have tried
to find out how things are done whieh
I see but do not understand.
v. >
Systematic Investigation.
The reading of men has much to
do with the correct management of
men. It is easy to coax a man to do
something he is able to - do, but an
energetic manager can get many men
to accomplish more and bettor work
in quantity and quality than they
could if left to themselves. If you
want to be a better manager you ranst
become better acquainted with your-
self and learn how to analyse others
as a chemist would analyze an un-
known liquid. Some books will help
you a little, but observation will help
you more, aud the suggestions of
friends and enemies will become tha
most useful of all. A course of pri-
vate, systematic investigation for re-
sults must be taken up, either con-
sciously or unconsciously. Some men
think, day and night without effort
and of course they succeed. Other
men decide they will think more care-
fully; they plan how to think aud
what to think abont, and know all tha
time that they are thinking; these
men succeed also.
Meeting Emergencies.
Some managers are like oil «n
troubled waters and are successful If
things move along all tight, but if
a condition requiring original and
rapid thought comes up they fall
down. Other managers are like lob-
bies in your shoe, but on account of
their unlimited natural strength they
just make things hum a golden tuae
whether anybody likes it or not
Self-Management.
No doubt you have realized that the
popular educational information
turned out by the printing press dur-
ing the last century has caused things
to be a little different from what they
ouce were. The manager is not able
to do to-day in the same way that
which he could do twenty, forty, sixty
years ago. And the time is coming
when, if he would be successful, he
must not only have wit and a strong
hand, but a humane heart and ax
ever clear head. As some may sot
recognize the necessity of an occa-
sional rest from every-day work, I
will repeat a story I heard recently.
A great corporation offered a smaller
one $10,000 in settlement of a claim.
The small concern refused. The large
one had a famous lawyer with assist-
ants, witnesses and money. The law-
yer of the little concern bad tKtle
money and had to fight it alone. After
securing $200,000 for his clients he
confessed he never could have lived
through the tight if it had not been
for his habit of dropping all work at
midnight Saturday and not taking it
up again until Monday morning. I
know of another man who made a
practice of lying down after the most
difficult morning's work of the week,
and by sheer will-power forcing him-
self to take a fifteen minute nap bo-
fore starting off for the most difficult
afternoon's work of the week, ft is
necersary to know yourself and know
how to manage yourself. The anc4es -
ful management of men begins in the
correct management of self.
A scissor cyclopedia, which yon
would make, may be only a few dexeu
envelopes of newspaper clippings or it
may consist of a room full of cases
of boxes, hut whatever it is, it cauld
not be purchased with money «r se-
cured in any other way. Von are
able to enjoy the position ef editor
without being worried by critics. You
get the best education, that wliirti
you give yourself. The chances of re-
arrangement tempt you to improve
and cultivate good judgment and yon
can find a scrap or whatever it is in
an instant.

got fairly on the road to health after
years of sickness, for most ill lioalth
coinos from improper feeding.
What a boon it is to shake off cof-
fee sickness and nervous headaches
as some can if determined.
One woman accomplished it in this
way: "A few years ago 1 suffered
terribly from sick and nervons head-
aches being frequently confined to my
bed two or three days at a time, the
attacks coming on from one to four
times in every month. I tried
medicines of all kinds but
could get no real relief until my par-
ents finally persuaded mo to quit tho
use of coflfee altogether and try Pos-
turn Food Coffee. It had Come to a
point where I was so utter!, r. iscr
able that -I was willing to make any
reasonable trial.
"A person couldn't believe what fol
lowed but the results s!>eak for them-
selves; that was two and a half years
ago and I have never tasted coffee
since. I use Postum not only for its
delicious flavor but more ftir the goo!
it has done me. All of my troubles
disappeared as if by magic and I have
for the past two years been doing all
the work for my family of six. I
seldom have even a slight headache
and I would not give up my Postum
and go back to coffee now unless I
deliberately intended to commit sui-
cide.
"All of my neighbors it seems to me
now use Postum In place of coffee and
some of tliem have been doing so
for several years with splendid re-
sults from the health point of view."
Name given by Postum Co., Liattle

Weilville."
