in W6t the average man quently depends more upon his ser and appearance than upon his knowledge of his trade or business, or, as one might say, of his profession A Chicago newspaper has lately been noting some failures and their .causes. It cites the case of one man who was a successful salesman in a busi­ ness house in Chicago, but was un­ able to get any custom when sent on the road. The general manager of the business went to lunch with htm one day, to talk over the matter. The man crumbled crackers into his soup untii it was thick, and then ate the mixture from the end of his spoon in great mouthfuls. When the meat was served, lie shoveled it in with his knife, and fcad finished eating and was noisily picking his teeth almost before the manager had begun his mfeal. In re­ ply to a question, he told the man­ ager that hie always took his cus­ tomers out to lunch, and "used every method to win their confidence and friendship." The manager then said: "You couldn't sell me a stick of gum. No man whose personal habits are so obtrusively vulgar as yours could have the slightest influence with me. Had 1 lunched with you before sending you on the road, I would never have dis­ graced our house by giving it such a representative." These words hurt, says Youth's Companion, but the man profited by them, and to-day is one of the most gentlemanly as well as one of the most successful salesmen on the road. Another case citod is that of a minister whose unrefined manners annoyed his women relatives. They tried to help him, but he re­ sented their suggestions, and men less able intellectually, but with mora of the graces of refinement in their man­ ners, were called to the opportunities for service in the pulpits of the large and influential churches. They used to teach manners in the old days. Now there is little formal instruction. If a youth does not learn good manners at home, he has to pick them up when be gets out into the world, or else be handicapped. Great geniuses have commanded respect in spite of boor- Ishness, bat it is never safe for a ryoung man to assume that he Is a genius. p?*\ # ; Political Geography, "f new study has been added to the i Sarricuium of certain American col? .. < leges. It Is Known as political geo­ graphy and is defined as the study of geography in relation to political and r social institutions. To teach economic . as well as otner university branches a knowledge of elementary geography Is required. It was found that many students, though primed with Greek and ^atin, lacked any­ thing approaching familiarity with this old-fashioned study. Hence the Invention of political r-ography. The elementary side is taken up and, in connection with this, emphasis is laid apon an explanation of hiw each coun­ try studied came to be a separate, dis­ tinct country; upon its political In- stlutlons and the geographic influ­ ences that have affected them, and up­ on the present political problems of paramount interest in connection with each of the countries studied. Thd world events of the past two years have greatly assisted in making the course interesting. This year, while the class was studying Great Britain, the Irish question was agitating Brit­ ish politics; in the stud; of France, the great question of separation of church and state came up for discus­ sion; the interest of the class in Nor­ way and Sweden was enhanced by the events that have led to the separation of Norway from Sweden;, the Balkan question has been at the forefront for a lew months past and for two years the great Russo-Japanese war has made the study of Russia and Japan Of especial interest. The man "who knows it all" and deems himself all-sufficient for all oc­ casions, and especially for emergen­ cies, is a familiar figure in all em­ ployments, public and private. More men achieve failure by knowing too much and trying to do too many things to which they are not called than by the opposite course. The overdoer, more frequently than the ipan who keeps below a high stand­ ard, fails to realize his aims.. Dom­ inated by a deep and abiding sense of Jhis capacity for usefulness and by an equally robust doubt of other men's qualifications, this inflated personage Is a nuisance at all times and in any •vocation. Hal Jury at Kansas City pendants Illegally Conspired to Give Re- bates to Shippers--Standard Oil ffear­ ing at Cleveland is Sensational 17 t! i Kansas City, Mo.--George L. Thom-1 slons were * continuation of the In­ vestigation adjourned In Chicago near­ ly two weeks ago.

The jury considered the case only 30 minutes before arriving at a verdict. George H. Crosby, general freight traffic manager for the Burlington railway, on trial on the same charge, was discharged, the court sustaining a demurrer alleging that had been presented to connect Crosby with a conspiracy. The Indictment charged that Crosby had conspired with George L. Thomas and L. B. Tag­ gart to pay rebates to certain persons. Then the two cases against Thomas and Taggart were considered.

CASH FROM UNKNOWN PARTIES Interesting Testimony at Kansas City Rebate Cases. Kansas City, Mo.--Members of half a dozen large business firms admitted here Thursday, aft the trial in the fed­ eral court of George H. Crosby, the Burlington traffic manager, George L. Thomas, the New York freight broker, and the latter's clerk, L. B. Taggart, that they had received thou­ sands of dollars in commissions from unknown sources." All of the firms had hired. Thomas to attend to the shipping of their goods from the At­ lantic seaboard to their stores in St. Louis and Kansas City, but none of the witnesses would say that these sums of money had come from Thomas. W. E. Emery, a member of the Em- ery-Bird-Tnayer Dry Goods company,of Kansas City, who admitted receiving from $1,500 to $2,000 a year, said he did not know who sent it, but "sup­ posed it came from Thomas." Not­ withstanding the large sums thus paid in commissions, none of the firms had kept any record of the amounts, ac­ cording to the witness. All payments were made In New York. The government introduced as evi­ dence a contract entered into by George C. Smith, now dead, for the Smith-McCord-Townsend Dry Goods company, of Kansas City, and Thomas. It provided, in addition to a commis­ sion of 2% cents a hundred pounds on "incoming shipments" and a guarantee of $500 a year, that Thomas "should route all shipments except those that were prepaid and on which no rebate or allowance can be held.1* DROVE OUT OIL PEDDLERS.

Philadelphia. -- Several Interesting developments marked the closing ses­ sion of the interstate commerce com­ mission's investigation into the alleged discrimination by railroads in the dis­ tribution of cars in the bituminous coal field. Testimony of a sensational character was given by F. Albert von Boyneburg, general manager of the Reakert Broth­ ers company, coal operators, with of­ fices in this city. He stated that with­ in the last two and a half years his company's car supply had been so in­ adequate that the business had been practically ruined. He declared that other companies had been favored in the distribution of cars and said he had no doubt that discrimination had been practiced against his company be­ cause it had failed to make gifts of stock to the railroad officials. He gave it as his opinion that President A. J. Casastt was responsible for the dis­ crimination. FORCED tfO SELL ittE. COAL STOCKS GIVEN AWAY. Grace M.

Patton, assistant to the president at Philadelphia, were the important witnesses of the day. The persistent questioning of Attorney Glasgow for the commission, brought out the fact that Mr. Patton had ac­ quired stock, the par 'value of which is $307,000, in various coal oompanies •without cost to himself. He explained, however, that he had signed notes ob­ ligating himself for his share of the losses and declared his belief that it was proper for him to accept the stock under those conditions. It is true, as ever, that there is no without some compensating gain.
