One often reads this:promise in mail. order literature, ’Tis:seldom that one ever gets: a glimpse of the boy or girl who wrote the. particular bit’ of copy. With the compiler: of the mail order. catalog, ’tis all in the day’s work. With the man who/says it to your face, it means something, for he knows that if he doesn’t make good you'll come back, and he knows that if he does make good you’re most likely. to come back, and ’tis the lat- ter contingency. that he’s counting on. For the man who does business with you, face fo face, has to rely upon come back or- ders and he needs your good will, because you're his advertiser and his mail order cata- log. ' If you go home and say: “By yimminy. that coulter I got. from Jones is all right): all right,” then your neighbor thinks: of:.Jones the next time he comes to town, figuring on a bit of an electric washer for the»missus.: But if you say: “Be dad, that Jones feller, now, ain’t he the skinner,” Jones*knows. he * can never expect to. repair the damage that's done him, and bein’ as Jones is in business here for life, he isn’t likely ‘to give you a chance ‘to say bad things of him if he can help it. That’s the whole idea of trading at home. You see the article, you see the man who. stands behind it; you know, most likely the next time*you come to town you'll see him again, and he-knows it too, ‘Tis an easy thing to make long distance’ conversation and to sit beside a mahogany ‘top desk, drawing on a 25-cent perfecto and dictate pretty: prom- ises. ’Tis anothe rthing quite to sit right here under the gun and.stare a man in the eye and make promises and know by all that’s. holy that: you’ve got to make good those’ promises. One hates like thunder to sell a neighbor. a blind horse, for he knows that sooner or later Mr. Naybur will get hep. ’Tis quite ‘ another: matter:.to pass. off a bad one on a «EASE cee Nat a Buin i BUSINESS TRAINING , “band Jot ‘roving horse traders who probably: give you worse than they get. The home business man is in the ‘same’ position that you are when a neighbor comes to you and wants a gentle, lady-broke driver for. the family. You are not liable to sell him a skit- “tish hag of bones that’s going to kick the whole. family into kingdom come, for, like as not, you have an idea that Mr. Naybur may. want a‘horse again some time, and a fair profit on’ two good horses usually is bigger.and more satisfactory generally. than an.unfair profit on.one bad one. * » When a man’s selling merchandise as a business, the: first’ thing he does or ‘seeks to do’is to build up good will and a reputa- tion’ for honesty and fair-dealing. The man who accomplishes thees results stays in bis- iness." That is why the men whose ‘busi- ness:is advertised in. these columns are here; that’s why they were here last year, and year before last. With some of them your grandaddy traded when he game out here in ‘N:prairie schooner ; with some of their grand- children you grandchildren will be trading a long: time hence. ‘A ‘square deal: with the home merchant is a*mere matter of ordinary business good sense, He knows that, even were he so .in- elined—and we’re proud to believe that we haven't any of that brand in business in Bis- marck—he couldn’t hook you today and ex- ect to catch your neighbor tomorrow. And “when he says “bring it back if it isn’t satis- factory,” he means that, for he can much better afford to take a loss on you than to have you dissatisfied. The biggest capital the average merchant has is his good will. Without good will, with- out, a reputation for playing fair and doing business on the’ square, without a belief on the part of his community that he’s honest -gdn‘ Sincere:and-a man who wants to see his neighbérs'do: well, the goods ‘on: his shelf ‘wouldn’t be worth.to him 75 cents on the dol- lar on’ the purchase price.

He's a big good natured Irishman is |} Jimmie Burke, but back of his good nature is the aggressiveness which makes the Lrish the best, fighters in the world. Jimmie's the new, manager of the St. Louis Browns, and without making any predictions he will ge from his men. all: the baseball there is in them. wimmis is a -manager of the old baseball school. He is in a class with Hughie Jennings and John McGraw. On the field he is aggressive, force- ful. If opposites count for anything on a ball club Jimmie should make good for he’s the. antithesis of his prede- cessor, Fielder Jones, ‘*~". a good fellow with the boys, yet Jones was sour, taciturn. Yet Jimmie doesn’t let his good-fellowship interfere with bus- iness. The appointment of Burke as man- ager of the Browns will recall to many fans ‘in the American Association the baseball obituaries which were writ- ten for him during his last year as _ {manager of the Kansas City Blues. Jimmie had tough luck that last year. is, club couldn't get anywhere and it was believed that Jimmie had lost -his grip. The truth was that George Tebeau, owner of the Blues waquidn’t let Jim- mie buy any players and he went through the season with a club that should have been playing Class D rather than Class AA baseball. Last year Jimmie was with the Ti- gers: as a coach. “What do you know about Jimmie Burke?” I asked Hughie Jennings. “Nothing but good,” was the suc- cinct answer. “But. what's his baseball specialty?’ “Nothing. muchjust ai complete, general knowledge of |baseball,” said Hughie, which is a mighty nice com- pliment from one manager to another. wee eee Williston: ..

Nothing but the MUTT PRETTY WOMEN AID (By Newspaper. Enterprise’ Ass'n) ome, July 16.—The, trial of a “new count of. Monte Cristo,” now, in’. prog: ress in home, has created extraordin- ary interést principally by reason of the faoct, that Pope Benedict figures in It. \ Count Luca Cortese of Naples, whose splendid mode of life gave him the title of ‘Luke the Magnificent,” is ac- "cused of defrauding the aLtium Cen- tral Credit Bank out of $1,250,000’ by means of worthless bills in a sealed envelope. The pope's interest in the case aris- es from the fact that the, bank’s de- positors consist largely of Catholic peasants,- Wishingt to prevent the fail- ure..of the bank, the pope came. fors ward and covered the deficit. Count: Luke created a sensation by his court testimony. His profound studies in metempsychosis and. other eastern lore, he said, -have led him to the conviction that he is destined to restore Italy to her ancient prim- acy among nations. He. was _.a remarkable. Don Juan. \He traveled over Italy with a retinue; of: beautiful women and .4 secretaries, | who, he said, attended only to “the in- forme part! of his duties.
