He was booked for apartments at the Auditorium aud a number of politicians gathered thoro for a conference are auxlously await ing his coming. He is reported to haro been ejected from a train for having neither transportation or cash, and as far U3 can bo learned from rail road officials, he is either at a way sta tion awaiting remittance or walking the ties. Senator Tillman is said to have found, when asked on the train for his ticket, that bis pockets had bojn picked and that he had nothing on his person to identify him to the conductor. The trainman telegraphed hero for in struction?, but the Chicago officials had no means of determining whether the passengor was on impostor and in structed the conductor to use his judg ment. The train has since reached Chicago, aud the conductor has van ished, but Senator Tillmau has failed to appear at cither the Auditorium or any other hotel. Tho belief among Chieago railroad aDd botjl men is that ho was ejected from the train and Is stranded. Tele grams along tho lino fail to locate him.

Consider en re fully before you say a Iiard word to a intiu, but never let a ehunee to say a good one go by. Praise judiciously bestowed Is money Invest ed. Never learn anything nbout your UHMl except from themselves. A good manager needs no dotoetlvos, and the fellow who enn't read human nature can't manage it. The phonograph rec ords of a fellow's character are lined In his face, and a man's days tell the secrets of his nights, Do slow to hire and quick to fire. Tho (lino lo discover Incompatibility of tem per and curl papers Is before the mar riage ceremony. But when you find that you've hired (he wrong man you can't gel rid of him too quick. Day hint an extra mouth, but don't let him stay another day. a discharged clerk in tho Ofllco is like a splinter in the thumb?a center of soreness. Never threaten, because a threat is a promise to pay that It isn't always con venient to meet, but If you don't maka 11 good It hurts your credit. Save a threat till you're ready to act, and then you won't need It. In all your dealings remember that today is your opportu nity; tomorrow some other fellow's. Keep close to your men. When a fel low's sitting on top of n mountain he's in a mighty dignified and exalted posi tion, but If he's gn/.lng at the clouds he's missing a heap of Interesting and Important doings down In the valley. Never |dS>? your dignity, of course, but tie it up in all the red tape you can Hud around the office and tuck It away In the sale. It's easy for a boss to awe his clerks, but a man who Is feared to his face Ik haled behind bis back. A competent boss can move among his men without having to draw an Imaginary line be tween them, because they will see the real one ii' it exists. Besides keeping In touch with your office men you want lo feel your sales men all the (line. Send each of them a letter every day, so that they won't for get that we are making goods for which wo need orders, and insist 01 their sending you a line every da} whether ihey have anything to say 01 not. When n fellow has to write in six times a -week to the house he uses up his explanations mighty fast and he's pretty apt to hustle for business to make his seventh letter Interesting. Bight here 1 wan I lo repeat that in keeping track of others and their faults It's very, wry important that you shouldn't lose sight of your own. Au thority swells up some fellows so that they can't see their corns, bill a wise man Irios i > cure his own while remem bering i-.ol lo trend on bis neighbor's. Perhaps a Life Saved.
