MOLAR at boy can talk; he ought to be: a salesman," says Uncle Hiram. Most people are like Uncle Hiram; they think that a good line of talk is more necessary for a salesman a good line to sell. _ This is wrong. When we make a list of the things you must have, to be a salesman, we will put first: 1 Something good te sell, 1f you don't believe yourself that what you sell is worth the money you ask, how dre you going to convinfe wiser men than you that it is? 2. Enthusiasm, This makes more sales than argument, for it is catch- ing. It raakes a man grab for his pen. 3. Agreeable personality, not nec- essarily good looks. Many a homely redheaded Irishman can win a cordial > i » / het fi | ill RT IRN A J rs handshake, where a handsomer man of a handsomer race will get a-cold, "I'm too busy today." 4. Self-confidence. More salesmen fail because they cannot "close" than for any other reason. It takes merve, and to have nerve you must be fear- lessly self-reliant. If you are right, don't let any man run over you, Personal soles talk. A parrot It takes man and present it so clearly that he signs. 6. Straight living.

There are many pleasures and joy- ous things in the world, but the ona thing I Hke the best is a good jour- ney. One can go away for weeks at a time gud yet feel that it would be hateful to go"home, but feels that it would be splendid to keep always on this carefree holiday. Two years ago I left Kingston to go to Fort Wil- liam, and 1 enjoyed the trip so much that I hated to come home, although I was away for a month. 1 left Kingston in the latter pant of July, and then went to Toronto, where I spent about three days. 1 was much interested in the sights as I went up Yonge street, and saw the high buildings and the busy streets. I left there and went to Hamilton, where 1 spent bet one day, thus I did .not see much of that city. The steam- er left the city about three o'clock. While we were passing through the locks, I took a number of snapshots of the city. When I returned to the ship coal was being loaded. When that operation was completed, she left for Fort William. Lake Erie was very calm, and the Yoyage across its waters was un- eventful, but when we reached the Detroit River the 'temperature must have been at least one hundred de- grees in the shade. There were numerous little yachts and ferries, not only on the Detroit River, but also on Lake St. Clair and River St. Clair. I saw the trawler that was built in twenty-eight days, and other ships painted so as to camou- flage them. On the trip over K Lake Huron I saw a number of large freighters, some five hundred feet long, and a number of passenger ships. We locked through the Sault Ste, Marie Canal at night, when I thought more of sleeping than I did of getting up and looking at the locks. The trip over Lake Superior was also uneventful, and in a day or so we arrived at Fort William. There were quite a number of elevators at the docks, and I saw the Canadian Northern elevator, the largest in the world. The ship was unloaded of its cargo, and then went on to Port Ar- thur. There were & large number of foreigners working around the docks. We stayed in both cities about five days, and I was very sorry when the ship blew the leaving whistle. There was nothing eventful * on the way back, not even a storm, and in about a week after leaving Port Arthur we arrived in Kingston. The jourfiey was a very pleasant one, and the only trouble was that it did not last long enough. I certainly enjoyed avery minute of the trip.--Lorne Mc- Connell, senior fourth. How ¥ Spent the Summer. Schoo! had just closed. A. pro- blem of how to spend the summer vacation began to confront the minds of a few boy friends, my bro- ther and myself. The one and only thing was to turn Courier du Bois and go out camping in the wild and woolly west (Loughboro Lake). To get our parents' consent was a pros hlem easier solved than we thought. The next step was to get ready for the camping expedition, and this was passed with honors. When we reached our destination we had to begin making the camp look like home. The rest of the fel- lows did not mind this, but the near- est relative I'll ever have in this world was a flunker through and through. Naturally, as I was the lazy man, 1 wouldn't blame him, and anybody with pitiable consideration wouldn't either, after finding out the true state of affairs. A lake was tempting me in for a swim, a boat with a nice pair of oars wasn't do- ing anything less in the way of mak- ing me discontented, and besides, Tt was a boiling hot day. But this, like all work, had to come to an end, and fortunately this task was no ex- ception to the rule. Then our fun gradually began. 1 say gradually to show the contrast between the slow beginning and the quick ending. We were out rowing one day when signals came from the shore saying that we had better make a bee line for camp. This order was put into action, and when we reached camp we found that we had been blessed by a visit from our parents, who had come to take us back to the city. But we bravely held our own, and when peace was declared; one of the terms was that we were to go to Nobel, a small town on the Georgian Bay, My brother and I were the lucky ing that their civie service will some day cause the flags on the city build- ings to be half-masted in their me- mory.

When we first set eyes on the "In- dian's Delight" we were greatly dis- appointed. The water was the same, the shore was the same, and every- thing was the same as at home. What were we to do. We wished we had never come at all. It was too late to turn back, so we decided to make the best of it. When we boarded the boat that was to take us to Parry Sound, and had cleared Penatang Harbor, then we knew that we were going to enjoy - ourselves. People were throwing bread to the sea-gulls. A movie man was taking pictures of them as they followed the ship, and even two boys who had been down- cast a few minutes before seemed to be excited. And s0, when we reached the Sound we were pretty well tired out. But with boyish curiosity we wanted to see the place where we wera to live during our stay in Nobel. S80 we begged our father to finish the trip at once. In this strife be- tween father and sons the:latter won, and we went on to our destination. It was late in the night when we ar- rived there, and we tumbled into bed, tired and sleepy, but ever so happy. ~---- Harold Cohen, senior fourth. 8t. Mary's School. The Draper's Little Boy. I am a draper's little boy, 1 keep a shop you see, And Jessie comes to buy of me Each evening after tea. She comes to buy, but oh, dear me. She does not treat me well; She asks for lots of funny things, 1 do not have to sell She asks me for a quart of string, And then a peck of silk, A yard of pork, and then a pound, Of nice, fresh buttermilk. And all the money she has got, To pay me for these wares, Is nothing -but the tiddley-winks, I dropped upon the stairs. ~--James Kirkwood, aged 12 years. Central School. The Autobiography of a Shoe. One morning as 1 was lying in a well-known shoe factory at Hamilton I was picked up by an employee and soon shaped into a fine shoe, of course being before that a piece of leather. I was soon completed and shipped to a retail store in Ottawa. After arriving at the above named place, I was taken from the large packing box along with some other shoes. My mate and I felt very proud when the fine sum of six dol- lars was marked on us. I had not been long in the store when I was bought by an elderly gentleman named Premier Borden. This made me feel very proud to think of my good fortune. The first place to which we proceeded, as you may suppose, wag the Parliament Buildings. The subject of discussion was whether Canada shall send dele- gates to England and France to ob- tain a clear view of the existing con- ditions for Canadian soldiers on the firing line. The majority of mem- bers voted in its favor, Premier Borden was one of those chosen to 80 to the Motherland. -I was so glad, because I liked to take a trip to sea the Canadian boys fighting in France. I was worn by Premier Bor- den over to England. After our ar- rival in England we made a tour of inspection to the different military camps. We found thoss camps very clean and pleasant. At Shornelitfe there was much mud, and I unfor- tunately became very dirty. I did not mind this, as I was pleased to see our Canadian boys. The boys said they were all anxious to get to the firing line quickly. They spoke openly on this matter, because they disliked the hard and strenuous training which they were undgngoing. Accompanied by some prominent men from the headquarters of Can- adian general staff, we paid a visit to the King and Queen. Our con- versation referred to the part which Canada played in the war, After a short stay in England, our next journey was to France, where Gene- ral Joffre gave us a royal welcome. The premier was driven to the firing electing him reeve by acclamation, for he not only cures their ills and aches, but their municipal troubles as well, ¥ - Many people are beginning to think that it would be better to permit the drinking of good whiskey in a limit- ed amount, in lieu of the poison that has been consumed by so many dur- ing the past year. potato growing that we are able to- day to get potatoes at less than three dollars a bag. gat fred i Milli Hi L What Shall I Be? . fr Girls The - Bookkeeper BY ELIZABETH 'MATEER "Mother," said Anne, "could I have 85.00 more allowance this week? don't know where my money has ne.

The difference between the debit side and the credit side shows the cash on hand." Anne became so interested in her ac- counts that she decided, after finishing that school year, to become a book- keeper. She chose the two year elec tive course in bookkeeping given in a City High School. At the end of her course she had learned to write a good hand, to be quick and accurate. mn figures, and had developed habits of neatness and care.

Anne advanced from an earnest and accurate bookkeeper to an office man- ager and later became Treasurer of her Company. The early habit of tak- ing pains with the little details called cents and working them into an or- derly account, added to her devotion to her work, had contributed largely to her advancement.
