draperies, arranged the  pictures and the 
ornaments and now from  the  depths  of 
her  luxurious  arm  chair  gazed  with  a 
pleased  smile  at  her lares and her pen­
ates which gave a familar  aspect  to  the 
room.

A fresh dash of rain against  the  win­
dows mingled with the sound  of  wheels 
on the road outside, and Dorothy breathed 
a sigh of  content that she was so snugly 
sheltered,  and had  a  passing  feeling  of 
pity for the man who was  obliged  to  be 
out on that stormy night.

*

As Dorothy’s gaze wandered  leisurely 
about  the  charming  room,  lighted by a 
cheerful grate fire,  she saw  that  one  of 
the silk curtains  was  loosened  from  its 
rings, and placing a foot stool on a chair, 
she  sprang  lightly  up to adjust it.  As 
she  was  descending  from  her  unsafe 
perch,  the heel of her slipper  caught  on 
the stool and she fell  with all her weight 
upon  her  hand.  There  was  such  an 
acute  pain  in  her  wrist  that  Dorothy, 
lying in a faint and forlorn heap  on  the 
rug,  feared  she  had  broken  her  arm. 
She shuddered as she thought  it must be 
set  by  the  shabby  old  doctor  she  had 
sometimes met in her drives,  as  he  was 
making his morning calls in a  much  be­
grimed gig,  but she knew from the pain, 
which made her  feel  so  faint,  that  the 
injury must be attended to at  once,  and 
ringing  for  her  maid,  a  domestic  was 
despatched for the doctor.
*

The man who had  provoked Dorothy’s 
momentary sympathy,  as  he was driving 
rapidly by,  was  young  Doctor  Pierson, 
returning from a nine-mile drive,  to  see 
a patient dangerously ill.  A long ray of 
light from Dorothy’s  window fell across 
the road  and  brought  into  prominence 
for an instant the  face of the young man 
in the  vehicle. 
It  was  a  noble,  kindly 
face,  a  face  that  inspired  you  at  once 
with  confidence.  His  full  beard  of  a 
reddish  tinge,  hid  the  firm,  handsome 
mouth with its perfect teeth.  Bis broad 
white  brow  was  shaded  by  waves  of 
auburn  hair,  and  his  clear,  frank  red- 
brown eyes,  full  of  tenderest  pity,  too, 
for  the  many  cases  of  suffering  he  at­
tended,  and his smile was  as  sweet  and 
winning as a woman’s.  His deep, tender 
sympathy for suffering humanity and his 
unvarying  gentleness  and kindness had 
made him so acceptable  as  a  physician 
that old Doctor Smith  was being rapidly 
driven  into  the  background  by  his 
younger rival.

During his long drive  in  the rain, Dr. 
Rufus Pierson had been trying  to  settle 
a vexed problem—a question which close­
ly concerned  his  future  happiness—the 
question of  his marriage.  He had not a 
relative living to consult in  the  matter, 
and  it  was  more  from 
the  persistent 
urging of some  of  his  patients  that  he 
should select a  wife, 
that  he  was  now 
giving the subject such careful consider­
ation.  The last ten  years  had  been  so 
devoted to  his  profession he had had no 
time  to  think  of  marriage.  Besides, 
there were so few young ladies that were 
congenial in this  small town,  where fate

had led  him.  But his  friends all united 
in selecting  Dr.  Smith’s pretty but total­
ly uninteresting daughter  as  a  suitable 
wife for  him,  and  she  came  nearer  his 
ideal than any of  the other young ladies 
he occasionally met in  that  small place. 
He decided  that  he  would  go  that very 
evening,  and  ask  Miss  Mattie  if  she 
would marry him, hoping that in time he 
would learn  to care for  her.  Just as  he 
came  to  this  decision,  a bright  ray  of 
light from  Dorothy’s window  fell across 
his  face and he urged his tired  horse  to 
further  exertions.  The  light  reminded 
him that warmth and  comfort  might  be 
found  at  home,  and  he  soon  arrived 
there.

An hour later,  as  he  was  leaving  his 
office,  on  his way to  see  Miss  Mattie,  a 
wild-eyed  domestic  met  him,  begging 
him to come at once to attend  a  patient 
with a  broken  arm,  a  boarder  at  Miss 
Lee’s.  Hastily  returning  to  his  office 
for splints and  bandages,  he  once  more 
started forth into the  stormy night.  He 
was  met  by Miss  Lee  herself,  looking 
stiff and forbidding, for she had expected 
old Dr. Smith and was displeased  at  the 
young  doctor  appearing  instead.  She 
ushered him  at  once  into  the  brightly 
lighted parlor.

It may have been  the  sudden  change 
from the outside dampness and darkness 
to the light  and warmth  and perfume of 
this beautiful  room,  or  perhaps  it  was 
the sight of  the graceful  figure lying in 
the exhaustion of pain,  among the silken 
cushions  of  the  wide  divan,  that made 
his heart  beat  so  wildly  and  so  unex­
pectedly.

Dorothy’s  eyes were closed,  the  thick, 
dark lashes shaded  the  pale cheeks, and 
the contraction of the sweet, curving lips 
and  delicately  penciled  brows  showed 
that she was suffering intensely.  At his 
touch a quivering sob shook  poor  Doro­
thy and  she opened her dark eyes full of 
patient  suffering,  to  meet  the  pitying 
look of tfie young  physician. 
It  was  a 
relief to her to see the bright, intelligent 
face of a young man, who looked so earn­
est and sympathetic, instead of the dilap­
idated follower  of  ASsculapius  she  was 
dreading to see.  There  seemed  a  mag­
netic touch in the doctor’s  fingers, for he 
did not hurt the injured  arm,  as she had 
feared.  He quickly  ascertained  that  it 
was a  Colles  fracture,  or  a  fracture  of 
the lower  end  of  the  radius, and took 
from his satchel some well-padded, pistol 
shaped splints  and  looked  anxiously at 
his patient.  He  did  not  want  to  hurt 
her, as he knew he must. 
It was he that 
cut the silken sleeve, with its costly lace, 
from the round white arm.  The hysteri­
cal maid, who was  present,  was  sobbing 
and  wringing her hands,  and  of  no  use 
whatever.

Quickly and  skillfully  the  doctor  re*- 
duced the fracture,  but the touch  of  the 
soft,  white arm unnerved  him.  He  was 
provoked at himself,  with  a fierce impa­
tience that his hand should tremble when 
it was necessary that  he  should  be cool 
and steady.

As  the  fractured  surfaces  came  to-

DOROTHY'S  DOCTOR.

Prosperity  shone  from  every  part  of 
Dorothy  Davenport’s 
elegant  Fifth 
avenue mansion.  The  glimpse  through 
lace and silken curtains of rare works of 
art,  and  the  luxurious  carriages  with 
prancing  horses,  in  glittering  harness, 
that  conveyed  the  young  mistress  to 
some scene of  gaiety,  but  deepened  the 
impression  of  great  wealth  that  sur­
rounded the mansion.  Even  the  portly 
English coachman and the pompous foot­
man  partook  of  the  air  of  ease  and 
luxury  that  prevailed.  The  owner  of 
this great wealth was an  orphan,  young 
Dorothy  Davenport,  who  had  all  her 
young  life  been  lying  “full  length  in 
the lap of luxury.”  Always courted and 
caressed,  she yet  retained  a  sweet  sim­
plicity  of  character and a loving, gener­
ous heart,  and gave  freely  of  the  great 
wealth committed to her keeping.

It  was  a  foolish  whim  of  Dorothy 
Davenport’s,  so  her 
fashionable  city 
friends said,  to bury herself for the sum­
mer,  as  she  contemplated  doing,  in  an 
out-of-the-way place on the  seashore,  in­
stead of reigning again as the belle of the 
fashionable port.

Dorothy,  the  past  summer,  had  dis­
covered in one of  her drives, on the out­
skirts of a small  town,  this  quaint  old 
house,  with its double galleries and  dor­
mer windows,  from which there was such 
a  glorious  view  of  wave-washed  beach 
and rocks,  and she had rented it  for  the 
season,  glad  to  have  a  little  rest  from 
perpetual social duties.

Dorothy sent down  her  carriages  and 
horses and a  carload  of  furniture  from 
the  city,  to  take  the  place  of  the  stiff 
horsehair furniture with which the rooms 
were filled.  Miss Lee,  the owner of  the 
house,  was horrified when  she was asked 
to remove these cherished  mementoes of 
her grandmother from  the  place  where 
they had stood for more than  a  century; 
but  even  she  acknowledged  that  there 
was  an  improvement  when  the  walls 
were daintily papered, the large  rugs  in 
place  and  the  lovely  water-colors  and 
etchings carefully hung. 
Instead of  the 
slippery  sofa  and  chairs,  from  which 
one  “slid away with a  dismayed counte­
nance  immediately  on  sitting  down,” 
there were deep, easy chairs of  subdued 
coloring,  and wide divans,  with heaps of 
glowing silken cushions; book-cases with 
well-stored shelves of handsome volumes, 
and  rare  bric-a-brac  and  flowers  and 
palms in prodigal profusion.

It was the end of  a dreary day,  which 
ought  to  have  been  redolent with June 
sights  and  sounds,  but instead,  the rain 
had fallen  for twenty-four hours and the 
earth  was  as  sodden  as  a  wet  sponge. 
Dorothy  had  not  minded  the  weather. 
The  wind  and  rain  had  kept  her  from 
her drive and her canter along the beach, 
but she had been so busy  arranging  her 
rooms, that she had  not given a thought 
to the  outside  world.  With  the  assist­
ance  of  her  maid,  she  had  bung  the 
snowy  white  curtains  and  the  silken

gather Dorothy gave  a  faint  moan, and 
lost consciousness.  The doctor  fastened 
the splints and  adjusted  the  arm 
in  a 
sling,  then  lifting  the  fainting Dorothy 
he followed  the  distracted  maid  to  the 
room above.  He carried her as easily as 
if she were a child.  Her slight form was 
no weight in his  strong young arms,  but 
he reached the  upper  floor  panting and 
breathless,  not  from  fatigue,  but  from 
the  rush  of  strange  emotions which  so 
suddenly overwhelmed  him.

When  the  doctor  passed  out into the 
night he  still  felt  bewildered  by Doro­
thy’s loveliness, and was grateful  for the 
fate that  had 
thrown  her  into  his care 
through  Dr.  Smith’s  detention  in  the 
city.

Dorothy’s  perfect  health  favored her 
early recovery.  The bones were knitting 
finely, though her arm still needed atten­
tion,  and  was  sufficient  excuse  for  the 
doctor’s daily visits.  The  neighbors no­
ticed how  long  his white horse was tied 
under the large  oak  by Miss Lee’s gate, 
and made their comments freely.

These last weeks had brought  a  great 
change in the  doctor’s  life.  The  world 
seemed to  open  new  and  undreamed-of 
vistas since he had known Dorothy.  Mat- 
tie Smith  never  beard  the  avowal that 
was trembling  on  his  lips  that  fateful 
evening when he  first  saw  Miss Daven­
port.  The tones of Dorothy’s low, sweet 
voice, or the touch  of  her slender hand, 
or a look from her clear, dark eyes made 
his lips tremble,  and  his  cheeks  burn. 
He who had  laughed  at  the  little blind 
god  now  felt  his  power  most  keenly. 
Dorothy  was to him as  a  star far above, 
out of his reach,  but  he would  not  have 
been mortal  if  he  had  not  enjoyed  the 
light that was shed upon his pathway by 
her sweet  presence. 
It  seemed  to  him 
like  another world when  he  entered her 
room.  The luxuries  with  which  it  was 
filled showed  so  plainly that wealth and 
refinement were a part of her very being. 
No wonder his  senses  were  dazzled and 
that he had many a heartache as  he real­
ized how impossible  it would be that she 
could ever return his love.

During  these  daily  visits  they  had 
long  and 
interesting  talks  on  varied 
topics.  The  doctor  sometimes  left  her 
presence  angry  with  himself  that  she 
should so occupy his  every  thought,  but 
the  summer  days  were  waning,  and 
Dorothy would soon  be returning  to  the 
city.  Then  would  come  the  dark, chill 
days  of  autumn,  and  winter  with  its 
piercing blasts,  and the days  would be  a 
blank 
loneliness  after  her  departure. 
No wonder he clung blindly to the pleas­
ures that were still to be had.

As the summer days glided swiftly by, 
Dorothy  felt  a  growing  interest  in  the 
earnest young doctor.  She did not mean 
to be cruel, but  his friendship  was  very 
pleasant.  He compreheuded  her  slight­
est  wish  and  was  always  gentle  and 
patient  with  her  whims.  There was no 
man  among  her  city  acquaintances  she 
talked  with  so  freely  as  with  him.  He 
had none of  the  guarded mannerisms  of 
her city friends,  but frankly and honest­
ly told  her of  her  faults,  and  she  liked 
him  for  it.  Then,  too,  he  was  the  only 
congenial  person  in  the  village.  The 
summer  would  have  been  dull  indeed 
but for him.  She looked  forward  to his 
daily  visits  with  increasing  pleasure, 
and  enjoyed  her  long  talks  with  him. 
Dorothy  tried  to  deceive  herself,  think­
ing  they  were  both  heart  whole,  but  a 
vague unrest haunted her,  when she met

the doctor’s  lingering  gaze,  as  to how  it 
was to end.

The  summer  passed  quickly,  with 
walks and drives, and long lingerings on 
the  beach  and  hours  at  the  piano  with 
music and  song, or  delightful,  idle  talk. 
Then September, with its warning breath 
of  chill and frost, arrived and the doctor 
knew that soon  all their favorite  haunts 
would  be  a  vast  loneliness  for  him, 
filled  only  with  tantalizing  memories  of 
past  delights,  for  with Dorothy’s  return 
to her many social duties, he thought she 
would forget his very  existence.

It was late in the month.  Dorothy  re­
ceived  a  letter  from  her  business  man­
agerrecalling her to the city.  While she 
was  reading  the  letter  she  heard  the 
doctor’s  quick  step  on  the  walk,  and 
opened  the  door  for  him,  ushering  him 
into  her  pretty  sitting-room.  Then  she 
told  him  she was  recalled  to  New York 
and  must  leave  in  two  days.  She  saw 
the  start  with  which  he  received  the 
news,  and how tightly his lips were com­
pressed  under  the  full,  soft  beard,  and 
the look of  pain in  his eyes,  but  he con­
trolled  himself  and  spoke  in  his  usual 
pleasant  voice,  as  if  Dorothy’s  words 
had not each one been like a stab from  a 
knife.

He lingered long that morning, noticing 
with appreciative eyes the pretty picture 
she made,  seated  under the  shadow of  a 
tall  palm.  The  daintiness  of  the  blue 
gown  with its  lace trimmings, the beauti­
ful  bauds  and  their  graceful  gestures, 
and the cluster of  golden-rod at  her belt 
—his gift to her, the day  before.

As he rose to leave he said:
‘T am obliged to go to Hillsdale to-day 
to  see  a  patient  who  is  very  ill,  but  1 
to-morrow  evening  in 
hope  to  return 
time  to  have  one  more  stroll  on 
the 
beach.  The moon will be full to-morrow 
evening.”

His voice  was  so  calm,  Dorothy could 
not  know how bitterly  he begrudged the 
time  when  every  moment  spent  in  her 
sweet society  was so precious to him.

She accompanied him to the porch and 
fastened  a  spray  of  honeysuckle  in  his 
coat; so  that  he  drove away  in  a  happy 
state  and  the  long  dusty  drive  was  un­
noticed by him,  for he  was dreaming  all 
the way of  Dorothy,  recalling every look 
and  gesture,  and  remembering  with  a 
glad  delight  the  tone  of  sadness  in  her 
voice when she spoke  of  leaving,  and he 
was  surprised  to  see the  roofs  of  Hills­
dale appear so soon in sight.

Dorothy  watched  the  doctor  until  he 
was lost in  a cloud of  dust  at  a bend  in 
the road;  then  she  turned  to  her  music 
and  books  for  diversion,  but  was  too 
restless and  unhappy  to read or practice, 
and the day seemed  endless.

When night came,  she paced the upper 
gallery lost in the deepest  thought  until 
silence had settled over the sleeping  vil­
lage and she and the  moon and the  stars 
seemed to have the world  to themselves.
in  the  solitude  of  the  midnight  hour 
Dorothy at last  acknowledged to  herself 
that she loved Rufus Pierson—yes, loved 
him with her  whole soul.  She  was  sur­
prised  at  the  joy  and  peace  that  over­
whelmed  her,  when,  all  barriers  broken 
i down, she confessed the truth to herself.
In  the  cold  light  of  day Dorothy  was 
tormented  by  a  thousand  fears.  Her 
wealth, she  thought,  might  seem to  him 
an  insurmountable  obstacle;  then,  too, 
she bad been  so guarded  in her  manner, 
he could never  suspect  the  passion  that 
now  surged  in  her  heart.  How  coaid

she  let this  proud,  sensitive  man  know 
he had gained her love?

At  sunset Dorothy  started  for  a stroll 
on the  beach.  The  road  from Hillsdale 
ran  close  by  the  shore  and  from  the 
rocks  she could  see  the  long  stretch  of 
road for half a mile and would recognize 
the little white  horse as  soon  as it came 
in sight.  The doctor knew this place on 
the rocks was  her  favorite  haunt at  the 
sunset hour  and  would  not be  surprised 
at finding her there.

Reaching  the  rocks,  she  established 
herself  comfortably.  The  beach  sloped 
gently away, the waves softly lapping as 
they fell,  as if  apologizing  for even  this 
soft disturbance of her thoughts.  A few 
gulls hovered overhead, the only signs of 
life in sight, and  the sun  was sinking in 
a  gorgeous  mantle  of  gold  and  purple 
and  crimson.  The  scene  was  so  quiet 
and peaceful that Dorothy was  soon lost 
in  a  happy  reverie.  Just  above  her  on 
the bank  ran the  road,  skirted  by a tan­
gle of  underbrush.  Beyond was a stony 
pasture,  surrounded  by  stunted  bushes 
and  scrubby  oaks,  the  field  stretching 
away to a thick  wood.

Dorothy  removed  her  gloves  and  as 
she  turned  the  rings  upon  her  fingers, 
wondered 
if  this  magnificence,  which 
spoke so plainly of her wealth,  had made 
the^doctor  hesitate  to  declare  his  love. 
Then she wished she  were  poor,  if  her 
wealth was to stand  in  the  way  of  her 
gaining  her  heart’s  desire.  The  sun 
sank below the horizon  and the twilight 
fell  like  a  soft  curtain  over  the  quiet 
scene.

Dorothy  leaned forward,  wondering if 
the  doctor  was  in  sight,  for  a  strange 
feeling  of loneliness and fear oppressed 
hor with the coming of  the  night.  Yes, 
surely that was the white  horse she saw 
in the far distance.  She started forward 
to  see  more  distinctly,  when  a  heavy 
hand was laid upon either arm, and turn­
ing her terrified  face,  she  saw  that  she 
was a prisoner in the hands  of  two  vil­
lainous  looking  tramps,  whose  glances 
of  bold,  coarse  admiration,  and 
the 
greedy  looks  they  gave  her  sparkling 
rings,  made  her  heart  stand  still  with 
fear.  Her parched throat seemed bound 
as with a band of  iron,  and  the  scream 
of  terror  died  upon  her  lips.  Their 
rough  grasp  bruised  her  soft  flesh  as 
they dragged her up the steep bank  and 
hurried her across the  dusty  road.  She 
gave one despairing glance toward Hills­
dale and saw,  too far away  to attract his 
attention, 
the  doctor  driving  rapidly 
along,  all unconscious of her peril.  The 
men  held  her  in  their  strong  grasp  as 
easily  as  if  she had been a bird.  They 
dragged her through the thicket,  tearing 
her clothes and tender  flesh;  across  the 
stony  meadow,  whose  rough  boulders 
bruised her tender feet,  and  on  towards 
the dark and gloomy  wood.  Were  they 
going to murder her?  Must  she die just 
as she felt she was beginning to live?

They were nearing the  shelter  of  the 
dim woods and all  hope  of  rescue  died 
in her breast,  for  the  field  was  hidden 
from  the  road  by  a  thick  growth  of 
bushes.  She summoned  all  her  failing 
strength for one hoarse cry  for help. 
It 
was  quickly  stifled  by  a  heavy  hand 
placed  roughly  over  her  mouth..  Her 
stumbling  feet  refused 
to  carry  her 
further,  there  was  a  rushing  sound  in 
her ears and she was  fast  becoming  un­
conscious.  As  she  was  sinking  to  the 
ground,  she heard a  distant shout across 
the field and  a  swiftly  flying  figure  ap­

peared.  The  two  brutes  hesitated  at 
sight  of  this  sudden  apparition,  and 
Dorothy broke from their  grasp and  ran 
wildly  towards  her  deliverer  and  fell 
fainting at the doctor’s feet.

Rufus  Pierson  had  heard  that  wild, 
hoarse cry. 
It was a  cry  for  help  that 
would appeal  to  any  man,  and  leaping 
quickly from his carriage he ran towards 
the  beach,  not  knowing  from  which 
direction the stifled voice had  come  and 
thinking someone might  be drowning on 
the sands below.  No one was  in  sight, 
but on the  rocks  lay  a  long  buff  glove, 
such  as  Dorothy  wore,  and  her  pretty 
blue shawl.  He  made  another  hurried 
search  along  the  shore  and 
listened 
again  for  the  cry  for  help,  which was 
not  repeated.  Fearing  he  knew  not 
what,  he  regained  the  road,  where  he 
saw Dorothy’s broad-brimmed hat caught 
on the thicket by the fence,  and  in  the 
dust of the road lay the other  glove. 
In 
another moment he had pushed  his  way 
through  the tangled  mass  of  brambles 
just as Dorothy was  disappearing in the 
shade  of  the  woods  with  her  brutal 
captors.  He never knew how he crossed 
the long field. 
It seemed to him  it  was 
with  one  bound  and  he  had  reached 
Dorothy.  How he blessed the little  pis­
tol  (her gift to him on his birthday), that 
had the power to  stop  these  cruel  men 
and then make them run,  like  cowards, 
as  soon  as  they  found  such  powerful 
help near.

The  doctor  raised  Dorothy  most  ten­
derly from the ground and carried her to 
the road.  Her pretty  face  was  bruised 
and scratched,  her long hair all unbound 
and her dress torn and  disheveled.  She 
was unconscious of the passionate kisses 
showered  so  madly  on  her  cheeks  and 
lips, as she lay  pale  and  lifeless  in  the 
doctor’s arms.  Even in this  moment  of 
great  anxiety  it  was  such happiness to 
hold  her  in  his  strong  embrace  and  to 
allow the love that  was  consuming  him 
to have full sway.  Like a long  pent-up 
stream his burning words of love poured 
forth,  when  suddenly  Dorothy  stirred, 
looked up and said:

“Then you do love me?”
“Love  you?”  he  cried,  “how  dare  1 
I cannot 
I confess it, 

love  you,  save  being human? 
help  it.  Yes,  I  love you. 
to my endless desolation—”

“Say rather to your endless happiness,” 

said Dorothy faintly,  “for I love you.” 

“If this happiness may indeed be mine 
may I prove worthy  of  the  great  joy,” 
answered Dorothy’s  Doctor.

Just the  Opposite.

From  the Y outh’s Companion.

An Irishman who was employed in the 
iron  works  in  a Western  town  was  ad­
vised by his  physician to  seek some  em­
ployment where the labor was less severe, 
on  account  of  an  enlargement  of  the 
heart.  He  proceeded,  therefore,  to  set 
up  a  small  grocery,  which  was  well 
patronized by bis friends.
He was not in the habit of diminishing 
his prospects of financial success  by giv­
ing “down  weight,” and  one  afternoon, 
when a  customer  asked  for  a  pound  of 
sugar,  he added pinch by pinch until the 
scale barely turned.
“Pat,”  inquired  the customer,  looking 
up  innocently  at  his  careful  weigher, 
“phwat was it the docther said  was ailin’ 
ye?”
“Inlaargemint av the heart,” answered 
Pat with pride.
“Well, thin,”  said  the  customer,  “it’s 
toime ye were changin’  yer docther,  Pat; 
the wan that’s  tindin’  ye  now  don’t un­
derstand yer disease, me b’y.  Yer haart 
is gittin’ smaller moighty fast, an’  it’s in 
great danger  ye aire.”

date  it with  his  regular  stock  at  that 
place.

Detroit—Since the Edson,  Moore & Co. 
fire  the  insurance  companies  have  in­
creased their rates on some  lines  50  per 
cent,  and  wholesale merchants on Jeffer­

Manistee—The  C.  L. Joys  &  Co.  dry 
goods stock  was sold at  mortgage sale to 
R. It. Blacker for $0,525.  The purchaser 
immediately  resold  the  stock  to  F.  C. 
Larsen  for $10,025.  The stock cost about 
$23,000 and  was appraised  at  $14,757.02. 
The failure was precipitated  by the firm 
giving a mortgage for $7,600 to  Floyd  P. 
Gerrow and  Edson  Keith &  Co., of  Chi­
cago, whereupon the  First National  Bank 
of  Manistee  attached 
the  stock  for  a 
claim of  $1,000.

Cadillac—Burnham,  Stoepel  & Co., of 
Detroit, creditors of  Wilmot  Elevier,  of 
Manton,  who  recently  made  an  assign­
ment to M.  F.  White  of  that place,  have 
filed  a  petition  in  the  Wexford  county 
circuit court praying for  the  removal of 
the assignee  and  the  appointment  of  a 
receiver  by the court.  The  petition  al­
leges that White claims to have a chattel 
mortgage interest of  $1,000 in the estate, 
and that  therefore  his  interests are an­
tagonistic  to  those  of  creditors;  hence 
the petition  for bis removal  and  the  ap­
pointment of a  receiver.

Montague—The general stock  of  Geo. 
H.  Mason  was  attached  last  Monday on 
an execution  for $250  in  favor  of  Peter 
Damm and  August  Clug,  growing out of 
the Henry L. Partrick deal, the case hav­
ing been to the Supreme Court.  Deputy 
Sheriff Sterenberger  attached  the  stock 
and C.  L. Streug  and Joe  Pino were ap­
pointed appraisers and  about $800 worth 
of goods  were  removed  to  the  Dowling 
building.  On  Tuesday  coroner  Dove 
came up and  replevied  the  stock  for F. 
H.  Mason & Co.,  to whom Geo.  H. Mason 
had  sold  before  the  attachment.  The 
store  is  now  settled  down  to  business 
again and the matter will be further con- 
1 tested in the courts.

MANUFACTURING  MATTERS.

Homer—Cleveland  &  Clark  succeed 
J Geo.  D. Cleveland  in  the  lumber  busi- 
| ness.

Jackson—The  Fostoria  Buggy  Co., 
manufacturers and  jobbers,  is succeeded 
i by the Thorpe Carriage Co.

Muskegon—Hovey  &  McCracken  will 
! not operate their lower sawmill the com­
ing season,  but  will run  the  upper  mill 
I as  long as the lake  is  open.  Mr.  Hovey

Bay City—The  sawmill  of  the  Kern 
Manufacturing Co.  started Monday.  The 
company  bas  2,000,000  feet  of  logs  on 
hand and is receiving stock  daily  by  rail 
from the Mackinaw division.

Traverse  City—R.  R.  Ramsdell,  F.  N. 
Potter and Henry Schneider have formed 
a copartnership under the style of  R.  R. 
Ramsdell & Co.  to  continue  the  lumber 
commission  business  established  by  F. 
N.  Potter  & Co.

Muskegon—The  Thayer  Lumber  Co. 
has sold to Charles Counselman, of South 
Chicago,  for immediate shipment, 3,000,- 
000  feet of two-inch hemlock.  The lum­
ber is for the Counselman elevator, which 
will require about 7,000,000  feet.  Aside 
from this sale,  which was  made at a fair 
price,  business  in  the  lumber  line  has 
been  very quiet.

in  building 

Saginaw—The  big  fire  in Saginaw in 
May last was a blessing  in  disguise  for 
the city at large. 
It brought in  $500,000 
in cash for insurance  and  set  the wheels 
of building in motion.  There  has  been 
expended 
improvements 
about  $1,000,000,  and  this  expenditure 
has  kept  large  numbers  of  men  em­
ployed,  consequently  the  business  de­
pression has not been felt here to the ex­
tent that has been experienced  in  many 
other  localities.  Ed.  Germain  has  in­
vested $175,000 in  rebuilding  his  plant, 
the  Cross  Lumber  Co. $50,000  and  the 
Allington-Curtis Co. $25,000.

Menominee—The  shipment of  lumber 
from  Menominee  by rail is increasing at 
a lively rate w'th the opening of the new 
year.  Fourteen  carloads  of  high grade 
dressed stuff were  sent  out the first two 
days of the present week  to  the  eastern 
market over the Chicago & Northwestern 
line,  and 
it  is  understood  that  several 
large orders  will  be filled before the end 
of the week,  or  as  soon  as  a  sufficient 
number of  cars  can  be  brought into the 
yards.  The shipments  to  the west  and 
through southern Wisconsin,  Illinois and 
Indiana are also on  the increase.  Then, 
too,  the local  trade  has  been  gradually 
on the mend ever since the advent of the 
new year,  and  a decidedly  better feeling 
prevails among lumber  dealers here and 
all along the line.

Alpena—It 

is  generally  understood 
that  the  Alpena  &  Northern  Railroad, 
built last season  by  Alger,  Smith  &  Co. 
from Alpena north to  Lake May,  is to be 
extended the present  year to Cheboygan, 
the contract for the roadbed having been 
let.  The track  was finished to Lake May 
last Friday,  and log trains are running to 
Alpena this  week.  An  arrangement has 
been  made between  the Alpena & North­
ern and the  Detroit,  Bay City A Alpena, 
by  which the  trains  of  the  former road 
will be run over the track of t'  e latter to 
Black River,  and the immense amount of 
long  timber  being  got  out  by  Alger, 
Smith & Co.  will  be  taken  to that town 
to be  rafted.  The  company’s  mills  at 
Black  River  and  Ossineke will  also  be 
stocked,  and  several  million feet of logs 
will  be brought to Alpena to be cut.

Bay  City—Lumbermen  are  generally 
disposed to  take  a  hopeful  view of  the 
prospects of business as  soon  as  spring 
opens.  The cut of the mills  last  season 
will  approximate  350,000,000  feet,  and 
nearly all  of  those  in  commission  last 
season  will  be stocked  for  next  season. 
It is expected that more than one-half of

the stock will come  from  Canada.  The 
Tittabawassee  and  tributaries will  fur­
nish  a few million,  the  Rifle  and  Kaw- 
kawlin will contribute, probably, 20,000,- 
000 feet,  a number of  millions  will come 
from  northern  points  by lake  and  the 
railroads  will  bring 
in  the  balance. 
Jonathan  Boyce,  the  Kern  Manufactur­
ing  Co. and  John Welch  mills  will  be 
chiefly, if  not  entirely,  stocked  by rail. 
Eddy,  Avery & Eddy  are  cutting  a  few 
million  feet  on  the  Flint & Pere  Mar­
quette that will  come  here  by rail.  A. 
B.  Gould  is  putting  4,000,000  feet  on 
skids in Clare county that will come here 
by rail,  and E.  Hall  will  bring a number 
of million feet from Clare county by rail. 
Smalleys & Woodworth will bring a num­
ber of million  feet  down  the  Mackinaw 
division by rail.

PRODUCE  MARKET.

Apples—Home-grown stock  is  almost entirely 
exhausted, so that dealers are compelled to go to 
New York and West Virginia for  their supplies. 
The New  England  crop  has  been  pretty  well 
picked up, and  the  crop  of  the Empire State is

city to close his  place  of  business  at  6 
o’clock.  The  building which  Mr.  Her­
rick  has  secured  is a three-story  brick; 
the ground  floor will  be  known  as  the 
sales  room,  nothing  but  samples  being 
kept  on  this  floor,  except  in  the candy 
department.  The customer makes selec­
tions from  the samples shown,  the  order 
is sent to the basement,  or to one  of  the 
upper  stories,  where  the  stock  is  kept 
and  where the parceling is done,  and the 
goods are then  taken to the delivery wag­
ons,  which stand in the alley at  the rear 
in- j of the store.  The hurry and  bustle,  the 
noise and confusion,  which are  unavoid­
ably connected with the old way of doing 
business,  taking  the  orders  and  tilling 
them  on  the  one  floor,  are  thus  done 
away  with  and the store  is  always quiet 
and  orderly. 
In  addition  to  this,  the 
conglomerate  collection  of  vegetables, 
always  an  eyesore  in  the ordinary gro­
cery,  is also relegated  to  the  lower  re­
gions,  where,  loud-smelling and unsight­
ly,  they can  no longer offend the eye and 
nose of the customers.  A much  greater 
degree  of  cleanliness  and neatness  can 
be attained under the new order of things 
than  was  possible  under  the  old  way. 
There is no  carrying  of  goods  through 
the store, everything being  delivered di­
rect to its  proper  department  from  the 
alley,  and all goods being taken from the 
store in the  same way.  Altogether,  the 
change  is  one  which  will  readily com­
mend itself to  the  trading  public,  as  it 
will permit  of  their  being  served  with 
greater promptitude  and  without  confu­
sion.

Purely Personal.

Geo. Schichtel, general dealer at North 

Dorr,  was in town last Saturday.

R.  Van  Bochove,  who  conducts  drug 
stores  at 225 South  Division  street  and 
209 Straight  street,  was  called  to  Kala­
mazoo Saturday by the serious  illness of 
his father,  who it is  thought will not re­
cover,  as  the  trouble  is  dropsy of  the 
heart.  His advanced age, he being nearly 
80,  is also against him.

J.  Leff, the Fourth  street  grocer,  has 
conducted his business  on  a  cash  basis 
since Oct.  17 and states that he has never 
had occasion  to regret his action in adopt­
ing the cash system,  as it enables him to 
do business with  less expense,  loss  and 
annoyance  than  the  old  method,  while 
profits are considerably augmented.

D. Christie,  the Muskegon  grocer,  had 
a novel  experience  with a  silver  dollar 
last week. 
It was punched  on  one  side 
and he gave it out to customers in change 
several  times and  it was  as  many times 
returned in  the regular  course  of  busi­
ness.  He has placed it iu  the  bank  for 
the  fourth  time  and  confidently awaits 
its return.

GRAND  RAPIDS  GOSSIP.

A. J.  Mack has  opened a grocery store 
at  20  Plainfield  avenue.  The  Olney & 
Judson Grocer Co. furnished the stock.

G. T.  Owen will shortly open a grocery 
store at Belding.  The  Olney &  Judson 
Grocer Co.  has the order  for the stock.

The Commercial Credit Co.  has  issued 
a  new  reference  book  containing  the 
names  of  persons  whose  credit  is  of  a 
doubtful character.

John  H.  Goss  has  purchased  the 

terest  of  J.  F.  Gaskill  in  the  firm  of 
Gaskill  &  Goss,  grocers  at  217  East 
Bridge  street,  and  will  continue 
the 
business  at the  same  location  under  his 
own name.

James A.  Anderson & Co.  have  moved 
their wood  carving  establishment  from 
the  corner  of  Canal  and  Newberry 
streets to Erie street,  between Canal  and 
Mill  streets.  The  removal  was  occa­
sioned  by lack of power  to  run  the  ma­
chines in the old place.

The Priestly  Express Wagon &  Sleigh 
Co.  will shortly remove from its  present 
location on South Front street to the east 
half  of  the  Comstock  building,  on  the 
corner  of  Canal  and  Newberry streets, 
where  its  manufacturing  capacity  will 
be considerably increased.

Of  all  the  ordinances  passed  by  the 
Common  Council,  which  the  police  de­
partment  is  expected 
to  enforce,  the 
hucksters’ ordinance has given the  most 
trouble.  There is a  class  of  people  in 
the city  who are  determined  to  make  a 
living in no other way  than  by  peddling 
vegetables and  fruit,  and  they are  per­
sistent  in  their  attempts  to  evade  the 
provisions  of  the  law  regulating 
this 
traffic.  Readers of T h e  T radesm an are 
familiar  with  the  history  of  the  fight 
waged with these people early last  sum­
mer,  which  ended  in  their  being  com­
pelled to take  out  licenses  or  quit  the 
business.  With the close of  the vegeta­
ble  peddling  season  the  trouble broke 
out  afresh.  Some  of  those  who  had 
taken out vegetable  licenses thought that 
this  gave  them  the  right  to  sell  fruit 
without paying the fruit license fee. 
In 
this view they received  tacit  encourage­
ment  from  the  police,  who  held  some­
what the same idea concerning  the  law. 
The matter was finally brought to the at­
tention  of  the  Assistant City Attorney, 
who  promptly instructed  the  police  to 
arrest  all  peddlers  found  selling  fruit 
under  a  huckster’s 
Several 
were arrested  and  prosecuted,  with  the 
result  that  those  engaged  in  peddling 
fruit  illegally,  according  to  the  ordi­
nance,  made  haste  to  take  out  fruit 
licenses.  The  Assistant  City  Attorney 
holds that a huckster’s license  does  not 
give the right to sell  fruit, not  even  ap­
ples;  that the ordinance  is very plain on 
this point and that it will  be  enforced  in 
every  instance  brought 
to  his  notice. 
Mr. Carroll thinks there will  be  no fur­
ther attempt to  evade  or violate the law 
this winter.

w ithout  an  instructor  would  be  of  little 
or no  value  to  those  desiring  practical 
physical  training,  Mr.  Pierson  has  en­
gaged  H.  Booth,  a  com petent  instructor 
from  D etroit,  who  will  have  charge  of 
th a t  branch  of  the  institution.  A  small 
m em bership  fee  will  be  charged  in  the 
gym nasium   to cover  the  actual  cost  of 
training.

The  H a rd w a re   M arket.

G eneral  trade,  as  yet,  is  but  fair,  as  it 
is  too  early  iu  the year  to  have  much  of 
a  revival.  O rders,  however,  for  fu tu re 
goods,  such  as  poultry  netting,  wire 
cloth,  screen  doors  and  windows,  barbed 
wire  and  nails,  for shipm ent  in  February 
and  March, are  being  placed quite freely. 
In   the  line  of  hardw are  there  are  no 
changes  to  note,  as m anufacturers  seem 
w illing  to  let  the m arket lay quiet as long 
as it  will.  We  are, however, glad to note 
slight  advances  in  two  lines  of  goods— 
curry  combs  and  tacks,  which  have  ad­
vanced,  respectively,  as  follow s:  Curry 
combs,  10c  a  dozen,  and  tacks  about  15 
per cent. 
It  seems  a  real  pleasure  to 
note  these  advances,  as  we  have  done 
nothing  but  note  declines  for  the  past 
year.  We  give,  below,  the  fluctuations 
in  the  prices  of  a few  leading  articles  in 
the  hardw are  line  for  the  four yeaas:

EATON, LYON 4 CO.,

NEW  STYLES  OF

Daniel  Cleland,  the  Coopersville  Gen­

eral  Dealer.

Daniel Cleland was  born  in  St.  Law­
rence county,  N. Y.,  in 1843.  His father, 
who operated a dairy  farm  of  consider­
able extent,  was a  Scotchman,  a  native 
of the historic  city  of  Edinburgh,  who 
came  to  this  country  in  the  year  1809. 
When of sufficient age,  Daniel  was  sent 
to  school,  attending what was known as 
the Old Stone  School  House  in  the  vil­
lage  of  Edwards.  The summer months 
were  devoted  to  work  on  the  farm. 
This continued until the boy was 19 years 
old,  when he left school and gave his en­
tire time to the farm.  On  attaining  his 
majority  he  “struck  out”  for  himself, 
bringing up in Cedar county,  in  Central 
Iowa.  He remained in Iowa  about  two 
years,  then  returned  East,  got married, 
and,  for three years,  in  partnership with 
his father,  worked  a  dairy  farm  of  340 
acres.  Tiring of  this mode of making a 
living,  he disposed of  his interest in the 
farm  and  came to Michigan,  settling on 
a timber farm near the village  of  Coop- 
ersville.  The  next  four  years  were 
spent in  the laborious  work  of  clearing 
his  land  and  getting  it  in  shape  for 
farming.  But this work  was as little to 
his taste as dairy farming,  so  be  quit  it 
and  started  a  small  grocery  store  in 
Coopersville.  This  venture  prospered 
from the start,  and it was certain that he 
had at last  found  his  proper  sphere  in 
life.  For the accommodation  of the vil­
lagers  Mr.  Cleland  added  drugs  to  his 
grocery stock,  but soon disposed  of  that 
department of  his  business  and  put  in 
dry goods and clothing  in  its place.  He 
carried, also,  a stock of  boots and shoes. 
In  1881  Mr. Cleland  took  W.  S. Cole into 
partnership,  the style of  the  firm  being 
Cleland  &  Cole.  One  month  after  the 
formation  of  the  partnership  fire  de­
stroyed the building,  together  with  the 
entire stock.  As there was  only a small 
amount  of  insurance,  the  loss  was  a 
serious  one,  but,  with characteristic en­
ergy,  Mr.  Cleland  set  to  work  and,  in 
sixty days, a new building was completed, 
the stock in place and  business  again in 
full swing.  Mr. Cleland makes generous 
acknowledgement of  his indebtedness to 
the  wholesale  houses  who  so  promptly 
came to  his  aid  when  the  fire  had  left 
him in a badly crippled  condition.  The 
firm of Cleland & Cole existed only three 
years,  when  Mr. Cole  retired in favor of 
his partner.  Later  Mr. Cleland took  his 
son,  A.  H., into the business, the firm be­
ing known  as D. Cleland &  Son.  A.  H. 
retired  after  three  years,  since  which 
time D. Cleland has had the  entire  busi­
ness  in  his  own  hands.  Mr.  Cleland 
still owns the farm on  which he first set­
tled in Ottawa county.  He is  a  shipper 
of farm produce and stock and owns con­
siderable  property 
the  village  of 
Coopersville.

in 

Mr.  Cleland  was  married  in  1865  to 
Miss  Mary  E.  Harrison,  of  Carlton 
county,  Ont.  He  has  two  sons,  A.  H., 
who  is  at  present  accountant  in  F.  J. 
Dettenthaler’s  office,  in  this  city,  and 
Rollin J.,  who is a graduate of  the  Law 
Department  of  the University of Michi­
gan,  and is now in  the law office of C.  H. 
Gleason.  Mr.  Cleland  is  a  member  of 
the Masonic  order  and  is  prominent  in 
the councils of the local lodge.

GALVANIZED IRON.

THE  SION  BOARD  OF 1893.

Every year has its lessons  for  such as 
can  read or  understand  them.  All  men 
are not so qualified  and  are  no wiser at 
the end of  December  than  they were  in 
January.  This,  however,  does 
not 
change a line on the sign  board  of  time 
with which no  fool  can  tinker  or  blind 
man  intermeddle.  History,  whether  in 
whiskers  or  napkins,  never  dies,  and, 
though we  may  endeavor  to  side-track 
its  facts,  we  can  secure  no  insurance 
policy against its consequences.  This is 
comforting,  if sometimes  retributory.

Time -is  really our  greatest  educator. 
There is more in its facts  than  in all our 
libraries,  and,  for  the  good  of  man,  it 
has no mercy on what deserves a hempen 
necktie in  what we  think  or  say and do. 
Ideas and theories are  tested  in  its  cru­
cible.  Mistakes  are  measured  by 
its 
micrometer caliper.  Wrongs writhe with 
its  screw  on  their  thumbs.  Rights,  in 
sackcloth and ashes, are  brought  out  of 
the rag shop,  and what  of  evil  and folly 
is hidden  in a coat of whitewash,  time is 
not economical  in soap suds or a sponge.
If it were not for  this  house  cleaning 
society  would  choke  with  rubbish  and 
perish  for  the want  of  soap.  For what 
time exposes or destroys let all the world 
be thankful.  For what it  teaches let no 
man grudge the schoolmaster  his salary.
It is evident,  both here and elsewhere, 
that  we have much to unload of what we 
have carried  under  our  hats,  and  not  a 
little  to  put  in  its  place that is  better 
freight to carry.

This is manifest in  the  present  indus­
trial  situation.  Here  beats  the pulse of 
the nation. 
It  is  the vital  point,  where 
health is life and disease is  death. 
It is 
greater  than  Congress  and  larger than 
Washington,  and  towers  above  politics 
territorial bigness or white  squadrons as 
an Egyptian pyramid over the tent of  an 
Arab. 
Its  importance  is  only measured 
by the problems it involves.  This is  the 
case with  all  questions  involving  vital 
and stupendous issues.

Difficulties are always in ratio with the 
It is easier to pull 
object to be attained. 
a tooth than cure dropsy, or to  sail a pa­
per boat than  to  navigate  the Atlantic. 
A town council may be decided on police 
salaries and  the  dog  tax, but  it  seems 
that the Solomon is not yet born that can 
solve the  greatest  problem  of  the  age 
If this was  done  there would  be  fewer 
men  without  socks  and  not  so  many 
throwing bombs.

This is  universally true.  The world is 
spotted with  anarchy.  There  is  a  vol 
canic rumble along  the  line.  Vesuvius 
is  no  longer  solitary.  Craters, 
like 
measles, are spotting the face of nations. 
This is a hard bed for  1893  to  sleep  on, 
but on that it lies and  there it dies.

Is there  any prospect  of  turniug  the 
hose ou  these  slumbering  fires?  There 
is.  Can it be  done  in  a  moment?  No. 
Can it be enforced by statute?  No.  The 
evil has been of too slow a  growth to be 
moved  like  a  mushroom,  and  the  cure 
lies in men and not in  laws.

If capital is possessed of the devil  and 
labor gives the same  gentleman  a  home 
and a bed,  you caunot  remove  the  effect 
without  turning  the  cause  out  of  the 
back door.  There  can  be  no  peace  be­
tween rivals, and  if we  do  not  remove 
the bulldog  some  one  has  to  be  bitten. 
There would be no need  for hostilities or 
reprisals if both sides were just and pos­
sessed the missing half ounce of common 
sense. 
It must come to this  or go to the 
devil.

This is the lesson of the  hour.  There 
this 
is  no  proof-reading  necessary  in 
handwriting on the wall, and it is a hope­
ful sign that men are reading  it without 
glasses.  This is  true.  We  are  getting 
wiser. 
It  may  be  slow,  but  it  is  sure. 
The best of brains  and  the  best  of  men 
on both  sides  are  honestly striving  for 
what  is  equally  just  to  all.  They will 
both tie up  in  the  same  dock  yet. 
In 
the coming struggles between wages and 
market values we anticipate more  of  in­
tegrity  and  intelligence  than  has  ever 
et been manifested in previous disputes. 
The demagogue and the  extremist will 
always be  around with  his  chip  on  his 
houlder and the tin horn  in  his  mouth, 
but his future is cloudy.  Such may have 
a  bone  to  pick  with  such  reforms  as 
profit-sharing,  co-operation  and  other 
methods of a  just  distribution  of  earn­
ings and  enterprise, but, as  time  devel 
ops what is best for both labor and  capi­
tal, delusion  and  danger  will  go  to  the 
coroner in  the same  wagon.

Some three hundred and  odd  cats  are 
maintained  by the United States Govern­
ment,  the  cost  of  their  support  being 
carried as a regular item on the accounts 
of  the  Post  Office  Department.  These 
cats  are  distributed  among  about  fifty 
Post  Offices,  and  their duty  is  to  beep 
rats and  mice from eating and destroying 
postal  matter  and  canvas  mail  sacks 
Their work is of the  utmost  importance 
wherever  large  quantities  of  mail  are 
collected,  as,  for  example,  at  the  New 
York  Post  Office,  where  from  2,000 
to 
3,000 bags of  mail  matter are commonly 
stored  away in the  basement.  Formerly 
great damage was done  by  the mischiev 
cus rodents,  which chewed holes  in  the 
sacks,  and  thought  nothing  of  borins 
clear through bags of letters  in  a  night 
Troubles  of  this  sort  no  longer  occur 
since  the  official  pussies  keep  watch 
Each  of  the  Postmasters  in  the  larger 
cities is allowed  from $8 to ®40 a year for 
the keep of his feline  staff,  sending  his 
estimate for “cat meat”  to  Washington 
at the beginning of each  quarter.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY  17,  1894.

THE  NATIONAL  BOARD  OP  TRADE.
The  annual  session  of  the  National 
Board of Trade  will be held  in  Washing­
ton  on  the  23d  of  the  present  month. 
This  organization  is  composed  of  dele­
gates  from  commercial  bodies  all  over 
the country,  and it  has  been  organized 
primarily  to  influence  national  legisla­
tion  in  the interest  of the merchants of 
the country. 
Its sittings are commonly 
held at the National Capitol,  as the most 
convenient place for the  furtherance  of 
the peculiar objects aimed  at by  the  or­
ganization.

As is usually the  case,  the programme 
mapped out  for  the  coming  meeting  is 
a  most  ambitious  one.  Bankruptcy 
legislation,  with  a revival of  the  Torrey 
bill, 
is  to  have  a  prominent  part 
in the  discussion  of  the  delegates,  and 
the interstate  commerce  law,  with  pro­
posed  amendments,  will  also  consume 
the usual  share of the meeting’s time.

Among other subjects to be considered 
will be the  registration  of  trade-marks, 
reciprocal  trade relations with neighbor­
ing countries,  a  national monetary com­
mission,  the advisability of  establishing 
an  executive  department  of  commerce 
and  manufactures, 
the  revision  of  the 
banking  and  currency  laws,  the  reten­
tion of the tax on State bank circulation, 
the issue of  bonds to protect the gold re­
serve,  a national clearing-house, the need 
of stricter immigration  laws,  the reform 
of the consular service,  Government  aid 
for  the  construction  of  the  Nicaragua 
Canal,  and the advisability  of  construct­
ing  a  deep-water  ship  canal  between 
New  York and  Philadelphia.

That these commercial  associations of 
national scope are productive of good re­
sults  in  the  way  of  promoting  useful 
legislation  there  is  no  doubt,  and  for 
this  reason  they  shoul d  be  encouraged 
and commended.

AN  AGE  OP  LUXURY.

All  human  affairs  revolve  in  cycles. 
Human  nature  and  human  intellect  are 
the  same in  kind  in  every age and coun­
try.  The  conditions  which  have  once 
molded  manners  and  morals  and 
the 
forces which have impelled and controlled 
through  various
human  destiny  pass 

stages of  evolution,  but  they recur and 
return  in a sort of  due course,  after long 
periods of time,  to work their  eifects up­
on the peoples and  nations  of  the earth.
It may be said that  all  the  records  of 
human  history  contain  no  account  of 
anything 
like  the  enormous  scientific 
progress  of  the  present  age.  This  is 
true enough,  but something analogous to 
it has been realized. 
Ideas change their 
outward form,  but they are substantially 
the same  nevertheless.  Ail  science  to­
day is only the handmaid  of  wealth and 
luxury.  Men no longer seek to penetrate 
the  mysteries  of  nature for the sake  of 
knowing.  Her secrets are explored only 
that the results may  be  sold  for  dollars 
and cents and utilized in multiplying the 
material  comforts  and  pleasures of  ma­
terial  life.

It cannot  be denied  that  this adminis­
tration to the  physical  welfare  of  man­
kind  has many  beneficent features.  The 
introduction of  machinery and improved 
processes 
in  manufacturing  have  so 
cheapened products of  almost every sort 
that many articles which  were  formerly 
available only to  the wealthy classes are 
now in  reach  of  working  people,  while 
the  introduction  of  street  railways  and 
the better sanitation and  lighting  of  ci­
ties have  added  largely  to  the  conven­
ience, comfort and  health of the working 
classes.

In  respect  to  mental  education,  there 
never was an age which  placed  learning 
so fully in  the reach of the entire people. 
Thanks to free  public  schools of  excel­
lent  character,  and  the  extraordinary 
cheapness and  abundance  of  books, due 
to the introduction of most complete ma­
their  production,  there  is 
chinery  for 
scarcely  any  reason 
that  any  person 
shoald be illiterate,  or,  rather, this will 
be the case  when the  children  of  to-day 
shall come to mature age.

Never before in the history of mankind 
has there ever been such enormous prog­
ress,  and  it is,  to  a  great  extent,  the re­
sult  of  general 
intellectual  education, 
for,  instead  of  having  the world’s work 
done by illiterate and  unthinking slaves, 
it  is  done  by  intelligent  and educated 
men  and  women,  and  such  intelligence 
and  mental  development  are  absolutely 
necessary  for the control  of  the  mighty 
forces and complicated  mechanisms that 
actually perform  the  labor once done by 
human  bands.  Moreover,  scientific  in­
vention and discovery were once confined 
to  a  few  learned  men  shut up in clois­
ters.  To-day,  with an  entire population 
educated and trained to habits of thought 
and investigation,  almost  every man  and 
woman  may  be an  inventor or  a discov­
erer in  the domain  of  physical  science. 
By educating  the  working classes  their 
usefulness and  capability  are vastly in­
creased.

But all these interesting facts only con­
firm the truth  of  the  proposition  with 
which this  essay  started  out.  That  is, 
that the  present  is  only another return 
of the world  to the age  of  luxury which 
has so often  before been  recorded.  The 
enormous increase of wealth  in the hands 
of a few creates a sort of privileged class 
in the country.  A wealthy class  is com­
monly an idle class,  with  no  other busi­
ness than to  gratify every taste and pas­
sion and to  enjoy life.  Without  under­
rating the intellectual gratifications, it is 
plain that the  bodily and  material make 
up much the larger part  of  the account.
Certainly this  is  not an age  of  gross, 
repulsive,  brutal,  physical  debauchery, |

like  that  which  characterized  Roman 
civilization  during  the  culmination and 
decline of the empire,  nor  is  it  the  re­
markable  mingling of immorality and in­
tellectuality,  of  literature  and  license, 
which  marked  the  social  conditions  of 
western Europe of  the Seventeenth Cen­
tury.  But,  all the  same, this is another 
age of luxury,  and it  is not easy to fore­
cast what will  be  its outcome.  The de­
baucheries and  profligacy of  the Roman 
Empire brought  its  destruction  by  the 
barbarians.  The extravagances and vices 
of the Stuarts and the Bourbons ended in 
Cromwell  and the  Reign  of  Terror.  A 
powerful,  because  immensely  wealthy, 
class on one side,  and a vast body of  the 
population  representing  labor  on 
the 
other,  are the outgrowth  of  the  present 
conditions,  and 
they  are  developing 
forces which have before this threatened 
conflict. 
It  must  be  remembered  that 
the masses  of  the people are  no  longer 
a degraded and ignorant serfdom, but are 
educated,  reading  and  thinking  people.
One of  the sure accompaniments of an 
age of  luxury  is  the  development  of  a 
strong sense of satire and sarcasm in the 
current literature  and art.  Every luxu­
rious age had its host of  lampooners and 
satirists on  the manners of the time,  and 
never  were  these  more  abundant  and 
more  keen  and  pointed in  their written 
and pictorial  wit.  The profligate despots 
of earlier ages  had  their court fooJs and 
baubled jesters who  did  not  even spare 
their own masters in  ridiculing men  and 
morals.  To-day  the wielders of pungent 
wit  and  stinging  satire  are  not  main­
tained by  kings and governments, but by 
the people themselves,  who  have  in the 
poisoned arrows of wit and sarcasm pow­
erful weapons against  the follies  of  the 
times.

during the  depressed  times  of  the  past 
few  months,  operated  their  lumbering 
camps and railroad, which  now  extends 
to Grand  Marias,  on  Lake  Superior,  to 
their  fullest  capacity,  giving  work  to 
hundreds of men and teams.  We always 
thought  that  Alger  was  all  right,  but 
now we know it.  There are  other  good 
concerns here,  such as the Chicago Lum­
bering Co., Hall & Buell, and Ward Bros. 
These firms are all to be  thanked for the 
prosperity  of  our  people and village of 
Seney,  but  most  especially General Al­
ger,  and should the  people here ever get 
a chance to  pay tribute to him by voting 
for  him  for  United  States  Senator,  or 
any  other  gift  of  the  people,  we  will 
register  a  vote  here that  will  be a sur­
prise to some county politicians. '

Financial  Matters.

J.  E.  Hutchinson has bought the inter­
est  of  F.  S.  Raymond  in  the  Fennvilie 
City  Bank.  The  firm  was 
formerly 
Hutchinson & Raymond.

The  profits  of  the  Diamond  Match 
Company for the year  1893 were  $1,300,- 
000,  as compared with $1,051,000 in  1892, 
showing an increase of  from 13 to 15 per 
cent.

J.  M.  Judson  and  J.  M.  Lamb  have 
purchased the interest of  John  Johnson 
in the Clayton  Exchange  Bank,  and,  to­
gether  with W.  W.  Cook,  will  conduct 
the business.

The Advance  Thresher  Co.,  of  Battle 
Creek, had a most prosperous year during 
1893, from  the  profits  of which  a  cash 
dividend of 7 per cent,  and a stock  divi­
dend of  6  per  cent,  were  declared  and 
paid and a $50,000 surplus fund  created. 
The  company built  800  separators  last 
year,  and  have  made  arrangements  to 
build 600 this season.

Offer  of Settlement. 

I ronwood,  Jan. 15—The appraisement 
of the estate of Olson Bros.  & Co. has re­
sulted as follows:

The firm have received some assurances 
from their friends that if they can obtain 
a settlement on the basis of  40  per  cent, 
cash,  the  necessary  funds  to  meet  the
claims on  this basis will be forthcoming. 
A majority  of  the  claims  are  here  in 
Ironwood,  and all of  the  local  ereditors 
have signed  an  agreement  to  settle  on 
this  basis.  From  present  appearances 
this  settlement will  be  accepted  by all 
the creditors,  so that the firm  will  again 
be in business in the conrse of  a  month 
or six weeks.

THE  MICHIGAN  TRADESMAN.
A well-known Chicago dry goods sales­
man  who  makes  Monmouth,  111.,  his 
headquarters,  was  interested  in  a  hotel 
enterprise near the  World’s Fair.  Early 
in the spring he moved  his family  to the 
Windy City,  expecting to  become  a  per­
manent  resident  thereof,  and  to  retire 
from  the  road

made in the  business.  At  the  close  of 
the season  he  wired  home  to  his  wife’s 
parents:  “Meet  us

thing that the weather has kept so warm 
It  has  enabled  the

starving and freezing to  live,  when they 
might  otherwise  have  perished.  New 
York’s  generosity  is  so  great  that  not 
only are her own  poor being well  looked 
after, but  many are  flocking  here  from 
out of town.  The purses of  the charita­
ble rich are open  wide and  will  be  until 
spring,  so that  notwithstanding  the  try­
ing times the army of the poor are pretty 
well  fed,  warmed and clothed.
No  one who  lives  in  a large city this 
winter  will  ever  forget  the  scenes  of 
wretchedness  and  penury  which  meet 
him everywhere.  The Herald has a free 
clothing  bureau  iu 
its  old  down-town 
building.  The  doors  open  at  11 a.  m., 
but  at  8  the  string  of  closely-huddled 
men,  women and  children  reaches half a 
block.  One woman  held a little  girl  of 
four  who  was  perfectly  blind.  What 
could  touch  one’s  heartstrings  quicker 
than such a  sight!  Think  of  a  mother 
holding her blind  little one  for hours,  in 
order that she  might  get a chance to oh 
tain some sort of a second-haud  piece of 
clothing!  Truly it is about  the  saddest 
thing imaginable.
The  Thurber-Whylaud  reorganization 
matter is now an  assured  success,  if we 
may judge  from  appearances,  and  in  a 
short time this great concern  will find it­
self  provided with  sufficient  capital  to 
carry  on  its  magnificent  trade.  Many 
who would  have  subscribed  find  them­
selves unable to do so during the present 
stringency and the time  for  the  comple­
tion of the  reorganization  was  extended 
a couple of days.

One of the oldest and  best known firms 
of  retail  grocers  in  the  city,  Thomas 
Lidgerwood,  failed Thursday.  He had a 
good business in his  Broadway store and 
thought it would be a good thing to have 
a branch store  up-town  among  the  gay 
west-siders.  He  paid  cash  for  $10,000 
worth of fixtures  and—busted.  He  had 
many wealthy people  as  customers,  but 
their bills remaiued  unpaid,  and  the  re­
sult was serious.  Mr.  Lidgerwood  is  a 
close personal friend of President Cleve­
land.
The market for coffee  remains as calm 
and undisturbed as can be, and  the  fluc­
tuation in the price  of  Rio  No.  7 is  ex 
tremely small,  being  about  %e  during 
the past fortnight,  and  closing at  18>£c.
Canned goods are dull and the  market 
remains without a single  feature  of  in­
terest.  The movement iu  California  to 
bring all canned goods under one control 
is  hardly  deemed  feasible.  The  stock 
there is said to be over 800,000 cases.  To­
matoes are selling here  at  81.02 
for No. 3, and there  is  some  dealing  in 
futures  at  85c  for  Maryland  delivered

The demand for  dried  fruits  remains

Apples are selling at  good  prices

The  market  for  butter  presents  few 
encouraging signs.  What  with  the hard 
times and the  alleged  liberal  supply  of 
oleomargarine,  the  men  who  are  inter­
ested in dairy products are not reaping a 
fortune.  Oleo  is  decidedly  a  thorn  in 
the flesh, and the lack of  vigor in prose­
cuting alleged  violations of the  law  has 
been the cause of a good  deal  of  wordy

war  on  the  Mercantile  Exchange.  Mr. 
Van Valkenburg,  who  is supposed to be 
after the oleo men  with  a  sharp  stick 
has  been  openly  accused  of  bad  faith 
but no one who knows him  believes for u 
moment that he is  not  doing  all  in  his 
power to prevent the sale of the “stuff.” 
The best  Western  real  butter  is  worth 
25>£c if the  holder  can  get  that  much 
and  he  has  hard  work to do so.  From 
this the range is down to 20c before  you 
find  the  butter  that  smells.  Cheese  is 
firm,  and 12^£c  is  paid  for  State  small 
size,  full  cream;  llj£@ll>£c  for  large 
sizes.
Liberal arrivals of potatoes from Scot 
land keep prices of  foreign  stock  down 
to  a  low  figure, and this,  in  turn,  acts 
upon  the  domestic  supply,  which  are 
quotable  about  $2.25@2.75  per  bbl. 
Some fresh vegetables are  arriving,  and 
it may interest the hungry  to know  that 
strawberries  can  now  be  had  for  less 
than 7 cents each.

John C.  Riley, of  Caro, died last week 
from a combination of diseases.  He was 
a member of  the Michigan Eights of the 
Grip during 1892 but  paid  none  of  the 
death  assessments  made  during  1893. 
This,  of  course,  precludes the payment 
of the death benefit to his wife, who sup­
posed  the  deceased  was  still 
in  good 
standing  and  who  remitted  the  annual 
dues for 1894 and one  assessment subse­
quent to his death.  This  case  involves 
a moral which all traveling  men  should 
profit  by.

T h e  T radesm an is informed  by E.  P. 
Waldron,  President  of 
the  Michigan 
Knights of the Grip,  that he did not make 
the motion to withhold  from publication 
the proceedings of the Board of Directors, 
as intimated in our issue  of  January  3. 
Mr.  Waldron gives the name  of  another 
member who  he  says  fathered  the  star 
chamber  resolution,  but  as  it  was  the 
policy of secretiveness generally and not 
the specific act  of  any gentleman which 
was criticised,  T h e  T radesm an  is  dis­
posed to drop the matter without further 
comment.

Chas.  W.  Leggett,  traveling  salesman 
for  N. K.  Fairbank  &  Co.,  recently  re­
ceived an  infernal machine  through  the 
mail.  Upon attempting to  open  the box 
an  explosion  resulted.  The  cover  was 
lined with sand-paper and  placed so that 
it just grated on matches set  in  an  iron 
tube filled  with powder.  The tube  lead 
to a large ball of  twine  and  paste  that 
was filled with lead  balls,  and  it  is  be­
lieved that dynamite composed  the  cen­
ter.  By turning the cover  the  matches 
ignited and the  powder  exploded,  burn­
ing  Mr.  Leggett’s  hand  quite  severely. 
Fortunately  the bomb did not explode or 
there might not have  been  any one  left 
of that family to tell the story.  The ma­
chine was sent to  Chicago  for  examina­
tion.

Among the amendments  which will  be 
offered at the next  meeting of the Michi­
gan Knights of the Grip will  be  a  prop­
osition  to  make  the  death  assessments 
payable $5 at a time,  instead of  $1 or 82, 
as is now the case. 
It is argued by those 
who favor this measure that the notice of 
the $5 assessment and the sending of  re­
ceipts for  remittances would  require no 
more time than  is  now given  a single $1 
assessment,  which would  greatly curtail 
the work of the Secretary’s office and ren­
der  unnecessary  the  annoyance  neces- 
arily incident to the sending out  of  as- 
sesment notices  for  small  amounts sev­
eral times during the year. 
In all  prob­
ability  the  85  assessment  would  carry 
each member’s death benefit through the 
entire year, but if it would not be enough, 
another similar assessment could then be 
made,  which  would  carry  the  matter 
along  several  months longer.  The sug­
gestion is certainly worthy of  considera­
tion and it would be well  for the boys to 
discuss  the  matter  during  the  year,  to 
the end that a  sensible  conclusion  may 
be reached by  the  time  of  the  conven­
tion.

Cartage  and Boxing.

1 notice in the report of the Committee 
on  Trade  Matters  of  the  State  Pharma­
ceutical  Society,  published 
in  T h e 
T radesm an of Jan.  10,  a protest against 
the legitimate and necessary charge made 
by jobbers for boxing and cartage. 
It is 
stated that in the East  no such  charge is 
made, and that  it does not appear on  in­
voices of  Western houses.  This is quali­
fied, however,  by  the  statement  that  all 
west of  Cleveland charge for boxing  and 
cartage.  The latter is a fact.  The Com­
mittee -states  that  the  Lake  Erie  Drug 
Exchange  has  a  rule  that  these  items 
must  be  charged  for.  This  rule  is  not 
the  agreement  of  that  Exchange,  but  is 
fathered by the Western  Wholesale Drug 
Association,  embracing  in  its  member 
ship the jobbers of  the entire West.

All wealth is produced by labor. 

It is 
first  gathered  or  created  by  the  hand 
and sweat of the toiler. 
It  is dug out of 
the earth  by  the  agriculturist, or  it  is 
dug out  of  the  mine  or  quarry  by the 
miner, or it  is  cut  out  of  the forest by 
the lumberman, or it  is fished out of the 
seas  and other waters  by the fisherman. 
There  are  no  other  sources of  wealth. 
After the crude or raw products are thus 
secured,  they are placed in  the hands of 
skilled laborers,  who  work them up into 
manufactures.  Thus, 
the  raw  cotton, 
flax  and  wool  are  spun and woven into 
cloth;  the mineral  ores  are smelted into 
metals and  are  further  worked  op into 
various fabrics;  the timber  is  converted 
into houses,  bridges, cars, wagons, furni­
ture  and  the  like;  the  products  of  the 
fisheries,  if  not  consumed  at  once,  are 
preserved  for  future  use.  Breadstuffs 
and meats  and  all  animals  used for in­

The  chairman  of  the  Committee,  like

charging  for  boxes,  as  the  container 
when  it  has served  its  purpose  is of  no 
use  except  for  kindling  wood,  but  the

What is  required  of  Congress  at  this

It is the business  of  statesmanship to 
restore prosperity where it has been lost, 
and to create it where  the conditions ex- 
for such a  consummation;  but  never 
destroy  it  under  any  circumstances. 
There is no  theory  in  physical  science 
that can be strictly worked out in detail, 
because friction and many other material 
stacles will always interfere to change 
results. 
It is so, also, in political econo­
my.  No theory of  commerce  or  indus­
tries can ever be successfully carried out 
practice, because there will always be 
powerful opposing interests. 
It  is prac­
tically impossible for  any  theory of free 
trade or of protection to be applied in its 
entirety to American  commerce. 
Indus­
tries in  a  country  covering  twenty  de­
grees of  latitude  and 
thirty  degrees  of 
longitude of  the  earth’s surface must of 
necessity be of extreme diversity, so that 
no ironclad theory of  political  economy 
can  be  applied 
If  Congress 
fails to realize  this  fact, then  it will  de­
troy  the  remaining  prosperity  of  the 
country, instead of  restoring that which 
has been lost.

The  following  prices  repre­
sent the actual selling prices in 
Grand Rapids, based on the act­
ual cost in New  York,  with  30 
cents per 100 pounds added  for 
freight.  The  same  quotations 
will not» pply to any town where 
the freight rate from New York 
is  not  30  cents,  but  the  local 
quotations will, perhaps, afford 
a better criterion of the  market 
than to quote New York  prices 
exclusively.

THE  HUMOROUS  NARRATIVE.

Value  of the  Comic  Story  to  the  Suc­

cessful  Drummer.

Many a traveling  man  has a rare com­
bination  of 
those  valuable  qualities 
which fit him for his profession—honesty, | 
integrity,  zeal,  energy,  and  enterprise, 
together with that strict  regard  for  ve­
racity  which  characterizes  tne  brother­
hood of the grip—yet he does not make a 
luminous success.  The expectant  coun­
tenance of the  country  dealer  does  not 
light up  with enthusiasm  when  his  grip 
appears.  He  may  represent  a  purely 
pious concern,  and  may spend S10 a day 
for the “strictly  legitimate  expenses  of 
the campaign.”  But his success is limited. 
Yet a competitor who does not have  half 
his energy and vim, and whose conscience 
was probably manufactured by the Good­
year Rubber Company;  who has so much 
“lie”  in  him  that  he  only  needs  to  be 
boiled  to  make  a  first-class  article  of 
soap — his 
absolutely 
brilliant.  Now,  what  is  the  secret  of 
this failure and success?  I am convinced 
that it is to be sought in the varied forms 
of treatment accorded  to  the  humorous 
narrative. 
If  I  may judge from sad ex­
perience,  the  country  merchant  cares 
more for the quality of your stories than 
he  does  for  the  quality  of  your  goods. 
In order that you may be able to properly 
apprehend  and  appreciate  the  value of 
the point I make,  it will be  desirable  to 
offer  the  result  of  a  brief  but  strictly 
scientific  study  of  this  important  sub­
ject.

The  comic  story 

the 
product  of  civilization.  A  race  must 
have attained to a certain  high  measure 
of  culture  and knowledge of the arts of 
life before it is capable  of  evolving  the 
humorous narrative.  No  savage,  unaf­
fected by the contact of civilization, ever 
told  a  funny  story. 
I  have  made  the 
closest study  of  primitive  culture,  and 
have not been able  to  detect  in  the  re­
mains  of  barbaric  races  the  slightest 
traces  of  a  prehistoric  joke.  Life was 
too  deeply  solemn  for  those  fellows  to 
spend the sunny hours in manufacturing 
jokes  about  their  mothers-in-law.  Of 
course, one may trace in  their  primitive 
tribes  the  first  faint  beginning  of  the 
sense of humor.  The  early  discoverers 
of  America  found  that  the  gentle  and 
untaught natives had  various  ingenious 
methods of putting a  fellow  out  of  the 
world,  which  betrayed quite a developed 
appreciation  of  the  humorous.  They 
would  fasten  him  to a tree and fill him 
full of little wood splinters,  which  were 
previously lighted, so as to add cheerful­
ness to the scene.  Or they would get up 
an archery contest,  and give a chromo to 
the  fellow  who  would  first perforate a 
vital organ.  And the ladies would dance 
around 
singing  Wagner’s 
music.  But the sense of  humor  was  so 
undeveloped  in  them that when the sol­
diers  of  Columbus,  who rejoiced  at the 
thought of a new market for  their ¡Span­
ish  chestnuts,  told  them  stories  about 
the  mother-in-law,  and  about  playing 
poker  all  summer,  and  wearing a linen 
ulster all the next winter, they solemnly 
received them  as  unvarnished  episodes 
in the real life of these wonderful people.
It is when we enter the history  of  the 
higher races that we first  encounter  the 
true humorous narrative,  and it is among 
the  chronicles  of  such  people  as  the 
Egyptians  and 
the  Hebrews,  that  my 
careful historical  researches  have  been
rewarded  with  the  richest  results. 

the  party 

I have been enabled to throw a  new  light 
upon some very  important historical data | 
that  have  been  previously  obscured.
We have always had a pretty bad opinion 
of the ancient Egyptians and  have  sup­
posed that their treatment of the Hebrews 
was  the  simple  fruit  of  what  the  poet 
calls  “natural  cussedness.”  But  we 
have had only one side of  the  testimony 
and no chance to cross-examine the  wit­
nesses.  Take that episode about Joseph, 
for instance.  We know just what Joseph 
tells us,  and no  more,  about  the  reason 
for  his  being  sent  to  the  penitentiary. 
But an old Egyptian monument has been 
discovered,  and 
its  hieroglyphics  de­
ciphered,  and  we  find  out  that  Joseph 
attempted to work  off an ancient Hebrew 
joke on Mr.  Potiphar,  about his  mother- 
in-law,  who  was  a  very  estimable  old 
lady.  That is the  reason he was sent to 
prison. 
I’ve  no  sympathy  for  Joseph.
In  like manner we have always cherished 
an  intense  dislike  for  the  Philistines, 
mainly  for the way in  which they treated 
Samson.  But  a  great  scientist,  whose 
name native modesty  forbids me to men­
tion,  has found an  ancient poem written 
by a Philistine poet,  which presents the 
other side of  the  story.  He  says  (and 
there is a singular air of  truth about his 
narrative) that the Philistines at first had 
a  very  strong  regard  for  Samson;  that 
bis  handsome  hair  had  the  same  effect 
upon  the fair sex that Paderewski’s does 
to-day.  He further says a social club of 
great distinction, called the  “Gaza  Pas­
time Club,” offered to get up a  series  of 
wrestling matches for him  and give him 
half the gate money.  Now,  how  did  he 
| reciprocate  these  attentions?  He  went 
dowu to a dinner party  at  Tinnah,  and 
I tried to work off  an  old  conundrum  on 
them about a lot of bees who  were  fools 
enough to make a  hive  in  a  dead  lion! 
And that irritated them  so that they cut 
off his hair.  They put out his  eyes,  the 
poet says,  because they did not want him 
to read the funny column  in the Sunday 
edition of  the Jerusalem Herald, and try 
to  make  innocent  people  believe  the 
jokes were  original*  They  might  have 
done worse.

in 

Thus is history unfolding  itself under 
sound  scientific  treatment  and  putting 
old facts in new lights.  Belated  justice 
is  being  done  to  innocent  people  who 
have  been  covered  with  popular  igno­
miny.  Of course, I  have  only  touched 
illus­
upon  one  or  two  incidents  in 
tration  of  my  studies 
this  de­
partment  of  human  knowledge;  but 
it  is  a  subject  that  will  well  repay 
further  research.  But  1  have  said 
enough to show that the  humorous  nar­
rative must be handled with  great  deli­
cacy and rare  judgment  and  a  judicial 
temper  of  mind.  These  are  the  more 
necessary,  because only the scientific ex­
pert knows of  the  rarity  and  precious­
ness of original stories in the world.  All 
of our modern stories  are  only  modern 
in form and ancient in  essence.  Almost 
every Irish joke originated with Socrates 
or Aristotle.  The Pilgrim  Fathers  car­
ried in the Mayflower the germ  of  every 
narrative  that  has  been  told  by  every | 
Yankee drummer since  their  day.  Men 
have  new  dramas,  new  histories,  new 
poems,  new  governments,  and  new  re­
ligions, but they have few new jokes.

Let us now come  to  the  practical  as­
pects of this important  subject,  and  see 
its bearing upon  the  commercial  inter­
ests of the nation.  We picture the hope-

ently.

“A good man, indeed,”  I said  indiffer­
“Yes, he had only one  fault.”
“What was that?” I asked.
“Only intemperance.”
“Did it harm him?”
“Yes, somewhat.  He  didn’t  seem  to 
have any power to resist  the  evil  habit 
at last.  He got behindhand,  and had  to 
mortgage  his  farm,  and  finally  had  to 
sell it.  His wife died on account of  the 
reverses—kind of crushed, disappointed; 
the children turned out  badly.  His  in­
temperance seemed to mortify them,  and 
take away their spirit.  He  had to leave 
politics; ’twouldn’t  do,  you  see.  Then 
we had to set him aside from the church; 
and at last his habits  brought on paraly­
sis,  and  we had to  take him  to the poor- 
house.  He  died  there—only  forty-five. 
Poor man,  he only had one fault.”
“Only one fault!”  The  ship  had only 
one leak,  but it sank.
“ODly one fault!”  The temple had only 
one decaying pillar,  but it fell.
“Only  one  fault!”  Home  gone,  wife 
lost,  family  ruined,  honor  forfeited, 
social and religious privileges abandoned; 
broken  health,  poverty,  paralysis,  and 
the poor-house.

One fault, only one.

General Passenger and Ticket Agent.

C. L. LOCKWOOD,

equipped with one brand new story, or a 
story that has been recast out of  old ma­
terial.  Now this one story may be made 
to do  splendid  service  if  properly han­
dled. 
If it is a narrative that is  flexible 
and easily adjustable to varying climates, 
races and social conditions, so  much the 
better.  A good drummer  ought  always 
to be able to localize a story;  give it the 
color  of  every State  through which  he 
may be working. 
It  is  always  well  to 
try the story on the head of the firm.  He 
has probably been  a  drummer  himself, 
and will  be  likely to  suggest  modifica­
tions and improvements that will fit it to 
various localities.  Then tell  it to all the 
boys in the  store.  Do  not  despise  the 
humblest office boy—tell  it to him.  They 
may suffer, but you will  acquire a grace 
and facility in  telling the  story that will 
be of immeasurable value to you.  Noth­
ing is so calculated to  inflame  the worst 
passions of mankind  and  precipitate so­
cial  anarchy so  much  as  a  good  story 
badly told.  Then try it on  your wife,  if 
you are fortunate  enough  to  have  one. 
If the story needs  dressing  down,  she’ll 
do it for you.  Nothing takes the conceit 
out of a drummer  or a preacher  like  an 
affectionate wife. 
If it is a  story  in dia­
lect, you may need  to  transpose  it  into 
another dialect which  you  know how to 
handle. 
I went to a spiritualistic seance 
once where  the  medium  was  controlled 
by a Choctaw chief.  He  talked  exactly 
like  a  Pennsylvania  Dutchman.  He 
tried to make us believe that he had been 
adopted into a well-to-do German  family 
since  his  death,  but  only  with  partial 
success. 
If it  is  a  religious  story it  is 
generally  wise to  give it a political com­
plexion.  A  fellow  can  usually 
tell 
whether he is in a  Republican  or  Demo­
cratic district, but things have become so 
mixed; denominationally that  you  can’t 
tell  what  sectarian 
toes  you  may  be 
standing on.  1 know of a drummer who 
told  an  important  customer—who hap­
pened  to  be a Baptist deacon—of a new 
kind of fish that had  been caught  in  the 
Ozark region,  that was called  the  “Bap­
tist Fish,” because it was spoiled so soon 
after being taken out of the water.  The 
deacon never looked at  another  sample. 
When you get beyond  the  range  of  the 
great  centers  of  civilization  you  can 
sometimes tell,  with  considerable effect, 
the story of the Southern  and  Northern 
man who fought a duel in a  dark  room, 
and  the  Southerner, mercifully wishing 
to spare the  effusion  of  blood,  fired  up 
the chimney,  and brought down  his  an­
tagonist.  This will  flatter  local  pride. 
Of course, you must always put the right 
man up the chimney.

Sometimes you will be closely pressed, 
when  in  a  new community,  to  declare 
yourself  upon  the  great  religious  and 
political  questions  that  divide  society. 
Nothing  is  more  dangerous  to a drum­
mer’s  success  than  fixed  opinions.  He 
should  be  like  the  schoolmistress  who 
was asked whether  she  taught  that  the 
earth  was  round  or  flat,  and  replied, 
“Some parents like  it  taught round  and 
some flat, and I try to please my patrons.” 
So,  if you should find yourself  in a tight 
place,  tell them of  the  fellow who lived 
in  Southern  Missouri  during  the  war, 
who was called out  of  bis  bed  at  mid­
night  by  a  body  of  uniformed  men. 
When they asked him  if he was  a  Union 
man or a Secessionist,  he hesitated a mo­
ment and said, “I ain’t a Union man, and 
I ain’t a Secessionist. 
I’m  just  nothing 
and mighty little of that.”  Never tell to

a customer who has his hat  on  the  story 
of the bald-headed man who had a spider 
painted on  his scalp to keep the  flies off. 
Nobody is  so  sensitive as a bald-headed 
man. 
It may be  necessary sometimes to 
be well acquainted with a man you never 
saw  before.  Approach  him  frankly, 
with a winning  smile,  and  address  him 
by the  name  that  has  the  most distin­
guished  sound  to it.  He will  probably 
think you are a bunco  steerer  and  make 
a  cold  reply.  Then  say  cheerfully, 
Well,  this  reminds  me  of  the  Irishman 
who  said,  “I wint  down  the  street this 
morning and I met Sam  Finnegan,  and I 
said,  ‘How are  you,  Sam?’ and  he  said, 
‘How  are  you,  Mike?’  and  we  looked 
again,  and,  begorra.  it  was  nayther  of 
us.”  This will establish a pleasant foot­
ing ,  and you  can  lastly say,  “I  am  in­
troducing a new-fashioned burial casket, 
which  no  family should  be  without,” or 
mention  whatever your line  may be.
' It will,  no doubt,  be  your  lot  to  meet 
with  an  occasional  customer  who  is a 
successful  story  teller  himself,  maybe, 
one  having  considerable  social  reputa­
tion.  Now, you are on delicate and dan­
gerous  ground.  Next  to  the  ability to 
construct and narrate  a  story gracefully 
is  the  ability  to  successfully  listen  to 
one.  Some  people  think  this  grace  is 
easily  acquired.  Never  was  a  greater 
mistake. 
It will not  do  to wring  chest­
nut  bells  on  a  customer,  or  resort  to 
those delightful and refined  little  meth­
ods that you employ in your professional 
intercourse  with  each  other.  Such  as 
the production of a small bottle of chlor­
oform,  or  the  like.  He  may even  tell 
your  pet  story,  so  mangled  and  disfig­
ured that  its  own  mother  that  bore  it 
would  not  know  its  face.  He  may  re­
peat the favorite story you told last year, 
or,  what is worse,  repeat the stories that 
he told last year.  Your face  must  bear 
that sweet look of expectancy that every 
story teller prizes so much.  Your laugh 
must not  anticipate  the  point,  but  ring 
with heartiness when the point is reached. 
Under all your sufferings must be the he­
roic patience  born  of  the  consciousness 
of what you have made others suffer, and 
over your face must  spread  that  look of 
deep,  religious  joy that  seems  to  crave 
for more of the  torture  that  is  making 
life a burden and hope  a  delusion  and a 
snare.  This is the supreme hour  of  the 
drummer’s 
triumph.  Let  him  pass 
through this with the wisdom born of sor­
row and the courage born of despair, and 
the golden sheaves of success are sure to 
be gathered by his hands, and the laurels 
of victory are  sure to crown his brows.

Only  One  Fault.

1 was riding through  a  country  town 
in Vermont,  when I noticed  a  concourse 
of people in the  church-yard,  encircling 
an open grave.
It was a warm day,  and  I  had  ridden 
ten  miles;  so  I  drew  rein  under  some 
trees,  to allow the horse to rest.
Presently a villager came  toward  me, 
and  I  said:  "There  is  a  funeral  to-day 
in your town?”
“Yes—Stephen.  He  was  one  of  the 
largest-hearted  men  I  ever  knew.  He 
had great abilities.  We sent him to  the 
Legislature three  times.  They  thought 
of nominating him for Governor.  But,” 
he  added,  sadly, 
“Stephen  had  one 
fault.”
I  was  tired,  and 
watched the people slowly disperse, leav­
ing the sexton to his solitary work.
“A very  generous  man  Stephen  was. 
Always visiting the sick.  The  old  peo­
ple  all  liked  him.  Even  the  children 
used to follow him on the  streets.”

I made no  answer. 

Reason Enough.

“Johnny,” said  the  big  brother  of  a 
small boy,  “go  to  the  shoemaker’s  and 
see if my shoes are  mended,  will  you?” 

“Naw,” said the urchin.
“ Why not?”
“Cause they ain’t done yet.”
“ How do you  know?”
“Cause  I  hain’t  taken ’em yet,  that’s 

how.”

An  Eye to  Business.

From the Indianapolis Journal.

“ I don’t see how you can afford to give 
a  pair  of  rubbers  with  every  pair  of 
shoes.”
“My friend, there is nothing equal to a 
pair  of  rubbers  for  getting  away with 
shoes:  see?”

THE  MTCHIGAJtSr  TRADESMAN.

The  G rocery  M arket.

Sugar—The raw market advanced  3£@ 
3-16c last week and  early Monday morn­
ing the Trust advanced  all refined grades 
%c.  There  is  probably  no  connection 
whatever  between  the  advance  of  raw 
and refined,  as the disparity  between  the 
two has all along indicated that the Trust 
paid little attention  to  the  cost  of  raw 
supplies,  the main idea apparantly being, 
“How much will the country stand being 
squeezed?”  With this end  in  view  the 
refiners are holding very meager supplies 
of raw,  so as to  keep  oversold  on  some 
grades,  thus  checking  any  speculative 
purchases  by frequently placing  a limit 
on the amount sold to one buyer.

Crackers—The cracker  manufacturers 
have reduced  their  prices 
on  most 
grades.  The decline also applies to some 
varieties of sweet goods.

Tobaccos—It appears to be the general 
opinion that  the  advance  in  low grade 
goods  promulgated  by  Scotten  a  week 
ago will be followed  by other  manufac­
turers in the near future.

Oranges—The  market  remains  firm, 
with advancing prices.  The fruit  is  of 
prime  quality, and,  as  the  crop  is  not 
above  the  average,  prices  are  likely to 
rule high.

Lemons—Scarce and high,  the  supply 
hardly equalling the demand.  No change 
is anticipated for some time to come.

Bananas—This favorite fruit  is  again 
in good  demand  and  prices  are,  conse­
quently,  higher.  See  market  report for 
figures.

Pork  in  barrels—There  was  a  sharp 
advance  last  week,  owing  to  a  report 
that  the  hog  crop  was  running  short 
and,  though the report  was proved to be 
without foundation,  the  advanced prices 
have  been  maintained.  The  market  is 
still in an excited  condition,  and,  until 
it quiets down, prices  will remain up.

Poultry—There has  been  a  sharp  ad 
vance, due to local conditions, but present 
prices are likely to be maintained for some 
time to  come.

H ides,  P elts  a n d   F u rs.

Hides—There is an  improved demand 
both for home and export.  The  demand 
lines  are  in  moderate  supply  and  a 
firmer tone prevails.  Prices unchanged
Pelts—Traffic in wool pelts is of a ped 
dling nature, with little to be said  in its 
favor.  Prices  are nominal.

Furs—Unchanged,  with a  steady mar 

Tallow—Firm at good  prices.  An ad 
vance of lc was  reported  last week.  A 
further advance would not  surprise any 
one.

shortly open a meat market  here,  which 
will be a  healthy addition  to  the  busi

need is a good shoe  and  harness  maker. 
There is a good opening here  and a nice 
place to rent for the right  party.  Some 
one to sell harness and all kinds of harness 
repairs and do some cobbling work could 
make a good living here.
