Tactless Salesman.
The motorcar salesman's lack ol
Judgment cost him a sale. He was
trying to se" a professional man a
machine, but he handed out the wrong
kind of talk and "queered" the deal.
His prospective customer had been In
two or three serious motorcar acci
dents while out riding with friends
and really was Just a bit timid about
riding in a machine, although to please
his family he had Just about made up
his mind to buy one. The motorcar
man, with much gllbness and effec
tiveness. presented the various virtues
of his car. "Just look at the axle." he
said. "When you get In a smashup
that axle, unlike many others, will not
break, but will bend and so can be re
paired without much expense."
This unfortunate argument spoiled
the sale. It aroused the sense of fear
which the professional man had when
riding in a machine, and he told the
salesman that he guessed he would not
place his order for a machine at that
time.—Columbus Pispatch.
National Political Conventions.
In Democratic national conventions
every state votes as a unit, the will of
the majority determining the choice of
the state delegation, the vole of two
thirds of the delegates being required
to nominate It has never been de
termined whether two-thirds of all the
delegates to the convention or two
thirds of those present Is requisite.
In the convention of 1S84 the opposi
tion to Cleveland made strong efforts
to breas the uuit rule.
In Itepublk-an uatiunai conventions
every delegate votes as an individual
merely, and a majority vote is suffl
clent to nominate. The only real at
tempt to Introduce the unit role, or
vote by states, was made in 1SS0 in
the Interest of Grant's nomination for
a third term (his second term expired
in 1S77). but it failed. These rules
have been adopted by convention after
convention, although their adoption by
any subsequent convention Is in no
way assured
One Way to Crack Nuts.
No tree In Chile Is more popular with
the hardy youngsters than the Talma
chilena. or Chilean palm, which pro
duces large bushes of a species of nuts
with a soft outer covering of green.
When this Is cut away a hard shell is
revealed, resembling a miniature cocoa
nut. The flavor Is strikingly similar
to the coeoanut In railway carriages
the schoolboy, with a reckless dlsre
gard for the conventions as well as
for property, finds an Instrument ready
at haud for breaking open the bard
nuts. Without ado he proceeds to
utilize the window frame, which must
be brought down with considerable
force to accomplish the desired results.
Consequently broken panes are not un
common. Besides, as one writer puts
it. "the railways and the glass belong
to the state, the uatural protector of
youth."
