Mr. Patterson retired last eprlnx- rrom tha presidency of tha cor poration after nearly 40 years of scrv. lea and waa succeeded in that of fice by his son, Frederick. We waa asked to. explain In a few tforda why thla rorporallon has been so prosperous even the year of drreslon. rtaxls of Prosperity. lr. Patterson said thnt It wis due to three Influences: First, the return to tha amplnves of a considerable part of the earnings In accordance with th prlfn aharlnn plan which Is probably th most scientific and reasonable of all plans or that kind. Second, the prosperity csn be traced In part to the influence of th advisory council. This council demon strates the true relation of the men who ara employed to the prosperity ot the corporation. The council Is somewhat similar to the one which has been adopted by the 8tandard Oil company of New .lersev. from which have come most satisfactory results. In the third place the prosperity of the company Is in part due to the hlah development of the science and art of salesmanship. That la a department of industry to whlcn Vr. Patterson for years trnve careful thought. le has recognized the fact that real salesmanship Is a profession tor It Involves both science and art a well as a profound understanding of human nature. J. H. Parrlnaer who ts th (teneral manager of this corporation, is now in Berlin. Germany, so that he may study the cash register plant which was es tablished before the war in Germany hut compelled to suspend ' operation while the war was In progresa. It was the first American Industry to return to r.ermany after the war and it was the first of the American industries to ship to Germany a Urge consignment of ma chinery and other equipment which was of the money value of J30O.C0O. If, and when Germany regalna her normal in--dus'rlal strength this corporation will probably be able to make excellent com parison with the renewed prosperity of the International Harvester company, Jlis Westlnghouse company and the Aoheson companies In aecurlng by means ot thetr European markets.

For once Master Meadow Mouse was ready to take his mother's ad vice. She had told him to beware of Ferdinand Frog and never, never. never to enter the water when that pleasant gentleman was in it. i-crdinand rrog proved to be as agreeable as ever. When he caught sight of Master Meadow Mouse, Mr. rrog bade him a hearty good morn ing in a deep voice which was vastly different from the tiny squeak of the small rerson on the bank. xou ve come for a swim haven t you?" said Ferdinand Frog. Master Meadow Mouse admitted that he had intended to swim. But he explained that the water looked wetter than usual and he thought he'd wait till another day. "Besides," he added, "the sun has gone under a cloud and mv suit wouidnt ory quickly enough. ' Come right in and have your swim. Mr. frog urged nun. xou can change your clothes as soon as yoit get home." "Uh no 1 can t, said Master Meadow Mouse. "Why not?"' .Mr. Frog asked him. "Because I haven't any more." 'Now, that's a pity," Ferdinand Frog told him. "A handsome young ster like you ought to have a best suit to wear on special occasions." Master Meadow Mouse looked in terested. "I'd like a nice suit." he replied. "But where am I going to get it?" lou ve come to the right place. Mr. Froc cried. "Maybe you didn't know that I'm a tailor. I'll make you a new suit myself." "That's very kind of you, said Master Meadow Mouse a bit doubt fully. "But I don't know how I could pay you." the tailor laughed merrily. "Don't you worry about that," he exclaimed. "I'll get my pay some how. And now you must come to my shop at once. I want to take your measure." Mr. Meadow Mouse shook his head. "No!" he told Mr. Frog. I'm not going to votir shop. I'm not going a single step nearer to you than I am now. I've taken your measure already. Mr. Frog. I know your game. And you can't catch me that way. For once Ferdinand Frog forgot to laugh. He was so surprised that his mouth fell wide open as he stared at Master Meadow Mouse. He had an enormous mouth. Mas ter Meadow Mouse shivered slight ly as he looked down Mr. Frog's throat. The tailor closed his mouth al most immediately. For a huge pick era! came nosing among the lily pads. And spying Mr. Frog, he at once darted toward him. Mr. Frog swam off in great haste. "That pickerel person," said Mr. Meadow Mouse aloud, "means to take Mr. Frog's measure if he can." (Copyright, 1SJ5.) Thes5S5s-o Dancing Master By RUBY M. AYRES.

Elizabeth looked at him with glow ing eyes; the nightmare had changed suddenly into a wondcrlul dream. The rhythm of the dance had got into her blood; she felt as if she could not keep still. The man had fished out another cigarct; he leisurely lit it as he at on the arm of one of the big chairs. ion say you are staying in town?" he asked. "Yes. with my aunt, Mrs. Mason. Do you know her?" Only by name. Elizabeth laughed nervously. "I think she's sorry she asked me now I don't think she ever thought I should be like I am." The man did not answer, and Elizabeth looked at him shyly. She felt that she could never nc sufficiently grateful to him for his friendliness; it was as if she had fallen into a slough of despondency from which she never could have arisen but tor ins helping nana; she thought he was the most won derful man in the world. She was sure she had never seen anybody so good looking. He turned suddenly, as it con scious of her gaze. "And you are a Miss Mason?'' he asked. "Oh, no! My name is Elizabeth Conyers " She hesitated, flush ing shyly. "Would you will you tell me your name " Lcrtamly. My name is noyston Pat Royston." "Uhr he had expected some thing much more artistocratic and splendid and yet now she had henrd what it was it seemed to suit him admirably. "I like the name Pat," she said. "I once had an. Irish terrior called Tat." The man roared with laughter, very unaffected, boyish sort of laugh, in which after a perplexed mo ment, Elizabeth joined. "I suppose it was rather a silly thing to say," she submitted pres ently. "Not in the least; it sounded as if you might have been rather fond of my predecessor." "I was he was a dear." She stood for a moment lost in thought; then she gave herself a lit tle shake and began to move slowly backwards in the step he had shown her. "That's good," he said approving ly. "Wait a minute, I'll whistle the tune for you, and you see if you can keep proper time." He laid down his cigaret and be gan to whistle softly, his eyes fol lowing her as she carefully tried to remember the steps, her whole at tention bent on her task, forgetful of everything else. She was quite a picture in her own quaint little way, he thought, and certainly refreshing after the type of girl to which the last few months had accustomed him. ,; They were all so very, much alike all too much powdered and too little frocked; all with so much the same modern ideas of life and love and marriage that a man knew them all quite well beforehand. This girl, in her home-made frock and low-heeled shoes,' was some thing different; she was so abso lutely natural and unaffected it was like coming across a ray of sunlight and a breath of fresh air when one has lived for weeks in an atmosphere of manufactured scent and arti ficial light. He knew that, differently dressed and with her hair loosened a little from its primness, she would be pretty; in spite of her ugly shoes, her feet were small and dainty, and there was a lightness and grace in the way she moved that made him think of flowers swaying in a breeze. Unconsciously he stopped whis tling as he looked at "her, and she swung round flushed and breath less. "Oh, was I doing the wrong step?" Royston started; "No, it was spendid: come here; try dancing it with me." He pushed the chairs out of the way and put his arm about her. "Good; there's the band starting again. Now then " Elizabeth felt as if she were in a dream; she had forgotten the agonies of shyness she had suffered earlier in the evening; her feet seemed to fly over the smooth floor as if they had wings. 'When at last the music stopped she stood for a moment, with Royston's arm still about her. looking up at him with' dazed eyes. "Oh, that was lovelyl" she said with a long breath. "Yes, our steps go together won derfully well.' He kept her hajii ju i hi ami drew her back to the chair, "Not feeling giddy?" lie asked. "Oh. no." Mie drew her hand from his and sank hack against the cush ions. "I could dance all night," she sanl. lie l.iui:licd at that. "You'd oon get tired. I don't know anything more tiring after an allnight ball than coming out into the daylight and creeping home to bed." "I bhould love it." "I don't think you would once the novelty had worn off." She stifled a bigh. "I'm not ever likely to have the chance to try. I before you came I had made up my mind to go home tomorrow. I just felt that I couldn't stand it any more." There was a little silence; Kov- ston was looking into the ballroom through the halt-closed door. And now?" he asked. She laughed and sighed. "Well, if I could dance with you every day I think I should never want to go home at all," she said. "Your cousin goes to a great many dances, I believe; she would take you." "Yes, but you would not be there." she said unthinkingly. "And nobody else would want to dance with me "She glanced down again at her trock. Roysfon turned his head slowly and looked at her; she had spoken quite unconsciously; he could see. and a faint smile crept into his eyes. I go to a great many dances my self," he said after a moment. "And I could ask nothing better than to have you for a partner if you would honor me." "Oh, do you really mean it?" Her voice was incredulous, of course, he could not be scricus; how could such a man care to be seen dancing with anyone so dowdy and countrified as she? He colored with faint embarrass ment. "With a little practice you will dance beautifully," he said rathci constrainedly.
