Italy Sends More Troops.
itc.tue , Oct. 28. Another army ox-
luditlon to Tripoli sailed secretly
11 out Naples during the night. As
'
.i the case with the former expctll-/
tlon- . the troops wore brought to the.
imrt and placed on transports with j )
- Knowledge of comparatively few j
IK rfons. The oxpodltion sailed , os-
. o' cd by n imvnl division , which will
bo strengthened with other uhlps afw
ter the convoy has paused through
the straits of Mussina. The trans
ports and warships carried no lights
and nothing leaked out as to whether
the troops would be landed at Tripoli ,
IJenghasI , Dlna or Tubre. Oen. Gon-
vn , commander of the army of occupi
patlon , has requisitioned a large
number of coral , sponge and fishing
boats to facilitate the landing of the
soldiers , which is difficult owing to
the rough HCII and unfavorable coast ,
London , Oct. 28. From dispatches
from Tripoli , reaching England by way
of Malta , which In part were reaf
firmed by ceinored dispatches reachIng -
Ing Homo , It Is apparent that Italy's
campaign In Tripoli has already cost
more lives than the government an
ticipated , while the financial outlay
will greatly exceed the estimates. The
Turks , with their Arab allies , who at
best It was believed would only
carry on a desultory campaign offerIng -
Ing a sort of holiday for the Invaders ,
have upset the speculations of the
Italians by a series of concerted at
tacks , in which , according to accounts
sent by correspondents without sub
mission to the censor , the Italians
have como off second best. The Turk
ish embassy Issued a statement claimIng -
Ing that In Monday's fighting the al
lies gained victory , the Italians losing
1100 killed and 700 wounded. This Is
confirmed In part by an Independent
report that the Italians brought 700
wounded men into Tripoli , and fur
ther by an announcement from Home
that the government had decided to
send forward 15,000 reinforcements.
Since then telegrams from various
points , some rather conflicting , it Is
true , tell of a series of attacks , the
latest on Thursday. Thus far only
censored acts have broviatcd of this
engagement , but apparently it was
extensive.

Are You a Salesman ?
"Salesmanship is a science , " said
Secretary R. C. NVagner , of The Bank
ers Reserve Life Company , of Omaha.
"Not long ago a man came to mo who
had ! been soliciting fraternal insur
ance ! with considerable success. The
idea occurred to him that he could
persuade men to take out old-line in
surance ! just ab leadily as he could
induce them to buy fraternal insur
ance , and if so his income would he
largely enhanced. So he started in
working for our Company. He was
one of those men who are naturally
fitted for salesmanship ; ho had a
fig
good ( presence and had learned how-
td approach all grades of men ; ho
tdki
knew when to talk and when to let
the other fellow talk. His first
week's work satisfied him that he
could sell our policies readily , for
he earned more money that week than
he had formerly earned in a month's
time. Since that ho has scored heav
ily and is accumulating property. "
"The time is past , " continued Secre
tary Wagner , "when men having fail
ed in other pursuits can take up life
insurance as a last resort. The busi
ness now offers such handsome re
wards to able solicitors that it is at
tracting men who have proved them
selves to be successful in other lines.
Last year a book agent came to me
with a story of success in that line
and I asked him to join our field staff.
He did so with most flattering suc
cess. He , too , had learned the science
of salesmanship and also had given
some study to the psychology of the
subject. And let me say incidentally
that good book agents are hard to
find. A man having the ability to
sell good books can soil other good
things.
"I recall a nurseryman who had
traveled over the state meeting a
great many men in town and country.
He thought he could sell our policies
and I gave him a chance. He proved
to be a winner. I might cite many
other eases. In fact , there are many
solicitors handling small lines who
might just as well be making good
money boiling the attractive policies
of The Bankers Reserve Life Com
pany. Then there Is the commercial
traveler who has a wide territory
on the road all the time. He has a
learned how to sell goods and he :
could sell our policies with less ef
fort , make more money and stay at
home witli family and friends most
of the time. Some of our best solici
tors were formerly successful com
mercial travelers. Any man wiio has
learned the art of salesmanship can
sell our liberal policies the rapid
growtli of our business is proof of
that fact. Every day I get letters
from men of this stamp who ask for
terms upon which they may take up
the work of soiling our policies , and
am always glad to hoar from them.
We are expanding the business and
Increasing our field staff. "
The Bankers Reserve Life has over
$3,000,000 of assets , with capital and

stove In his mother's bedroom , near
her bed , which neighbors feared
