"TBOITBLE-MEN." Many large business firms find it necessary to have a "trouble man," whose duty it Is to answer complaints, mend fences and repair the feelings of nervous customers.
In small concerns the boss gets thi3
job.
Did it ever occur to you mat m a
certain sense every useful worker is a
"troubl-man ? "
It is the task of every worker to mend the fences in his occupation,
and the successful man is the ouo
who knows how to remedy or elim inate the things that stand for in
efficiency, whether of himself personally or of his profession as a
whole.
For instance, the physician must improve his personal skill in doing
what all good physicians are suppos ed to understand, and he must dis
cover additions to the science and
eliminate Its errors.
The business man must increase hi9 " ability to handle old propositions
known to the trade, and he must de
vise new plans and stop unnecessary
expenses.
The artisian must do things well
according to directions; and he must originate new methods of doing them
better.
These things are the work of the "trouble-man" the commercial hero who knows how to make a blade of grass grow where a weed grew before
who can transform a complaint in
to a sale and make a fortune out of by-products.

COMMERCIALIZED RELIGION. Rev. Billy Sunday has this to say
of Editor Windle of Brann's Iconoc-
lasa:
If you would throw an emetic into hell, and it would vomit tip all its hideous vileness, about the last archangel thrown out would be better than Windle, In my estimation. And this is Editor Windle's opiu-
ion of Billy Sunday, it being reprint
ed from the Iconoclast:
During the last few years I have devoted considerable space to Bill Sunday and . his hysteria-breeding, dollar-grabbing crusades. Three years ago, becoming convinced that Sunday was a fakir, a money-mad fanatic. who had capitalized the blood of Christ and watered the stock, I turned the white searchlight of truth In his direction and soon discovered: First. That he is an ignorant, coarse, brutal. hate-breeding, slang-sllnglng, hypocritical humbug, absolutely devoid of the spirit of Jesus Christ.Second. That he is a willing, eager, enthusiastic, persistent, pernicious, prodigious, resourceful, aggressive, defiant, reckless, malignant, monumental and monstrous liar. Third. That he Is a braxen, impudent, impertinent, prolific literary thief, who not only pilfers from his fellow preachers, but steals oratorical gems from Bob Ingersoll, palming them oft as original. If any man guilty of these things can be a Christian, then Christianity is a farce. I not only caught Sunday with the goods, but have defied him to either DENY or DEFEND his lies and thefts in joint debate. He has refused, thereby admitting his -fuilt.
If Windle only wrote of Sunday as
a hysteria-breeder and a money-grab
ber he would have said enough.
