He Took One.

The store was dimly lighted, and
The clerk my wants employed
Leaned o’er the counter toward me, while
Her listless fingers toyed
Among some samples of the trade
Surmounted by a card which said:
“Take one.”’

She raised the placard carelessly,

Until it touched her lips:
She seemed to hide a kiss behind

Her slender finger tips;
Her blue eyes plainly seemed to say:

“You can’t, but don’t you wish you may?”’
Her lips were smiling coyly, though—
T looked over at the card, and so

Took one.

THE DEFENDANT’S ACCOMPLICE.

 

A Story Told by a Witness for the Prose-
cution.

During the month of February, 1853, Seth
Damon, of Acton, instituted an action at
law against Gabrial Butterworth, of the
same town, for the recovery of thirty thou-
sand dollars, of which he claimed that said
Butterworth had defrauded him. The cir-
cumstances were these: i

Butterworth owned and kept the princi-
pal store in Acton, and though he had never
been regarded as an exemplary gentleman,
his honor in business had not been im-
pugned. Those who had the faculty of
looking upon the undereurrents of human
actions decided that he was a man _ not
bound by honor, but who understood the
laws of self-interest too well to be guilty of
small meannesses in business. What he was
capable of doing on a grand scale was not
mooted until the occurrence of which I am
about to speak.

Seth Damon had removed from Edson to
Acton in the fall, and had purchased the
iron works. Shortly after concluding the
purchase, he had a payment of thirty thou-
sand dollars to make, and late on a Satur-
day afternoon he arrived from New York
with the money—part of it in bank notes,
and part of it in gold. When he arrived he
found that the parties to whom the money
was to be paid had left town, and would
not return till Monday. Mr. Butterworth
had the only reliable safety-vault in town,
and to Mr. Butterworth Damon took the
thirty thousand dollars, asking permission
to lodge itin his vault over the Sabbath,
which permission was readily and cheerfully
granted.

During Sunday night the people of the
village were aroused by the alarm of fire:
and upon starting out it was found that the
alarm came from Butterworth’s store, but
Mr. Butterworth had been active. He had
discovered the fire in season, and, with the
assistance of his boys, had put it out before
much damage had been done. Upon look-
ing over the premises it was found that the
fire had not only been the evident work of
an incendiary, but that it had been set in
several different places.

‘How fortunate,” said the owner, ‘‘that
I discovered it in season.”

But very soon another discovery was
made. ‘he safety-vault had been broken
open, and every dollar it had contained
stolen away! Here was alarm and conster-
nation. Gabriel Butterworth seemed fit to
go crazy.

“For myself I care not,” he cried.
few hundreds were all 1 had in there;
my friend had a great sum!”

Immediate search for the robber or rob-
bers was instituted, and ward was sent far
and near to all sheriffs and their deputies,
and to the police of the cities.

Now it had so happened that on that very
Sunday evening—or, I may say, Sunday
night, for it was near midnight—I, John
Watson, had been returning from my
brother’s, in Dunstable. I had left my
hired team at the stable, and on my way to
iy boarding house T passed the store of Mr.
Butterworth. In the back yard of the store
was a horse trough, and, being thirsty, I
stepped around that way to get a draught
of water. As I stooped to drink at the
spout of the fountain I saw a gleam of light
through a crevice in the shutters of one of
the store windows. Curiosity impelled me
to go and peer through; for I wondered who
could be in there at that hour of a Sunday
night. The crevice was quite large, made
by a wearing away of the edges of the shut-
ters where they had been caught by the
hooks that held them back when open, and
through it I looked into the store. I looked
upon the wall within which the safety-vault
was built, and I saw the vault open, and I
saw Gabriel Butterworth at work therein.
I saw him put large packages into his breast
pocket, and I saw him bring out two or
three small canvass bags, like shot bags,
and set them upon the floor by the door that
opened toward his dwelling. As I saw him
approaching this outer door a second time I
thought he might come out, and I went
away. It was an hour afterward that I
heard the alarm of fire. And it was not un-
til the following morning that I heard of
the robbery of the safe.

I was placed in a critical position; but I
had a duty to perform. I went to Mr.
Damon, and told him what I had seen; and
also gave him liberty to call upon me for
my testimony in public when he should
need it. Until I should be so called upon I
was to hold my silence.

While the officers were hunting hither
and thither Mr. Damon kept a strict watch
upon the movements of Mr. Butterworth,

‘sh
but

 

and at length detected him in the act of de-
positing a large amount of money in a bank
in Buffalo. His action immediately fol-
lowed and Butterworth was arrested.

This is the way matters stood when I was
summoned to appear before the grand jury
at Wiltonburg. I went there in company
with Mr. Damon, and secured lodgings at
the Sabine House. It was a small hotel,
well and comfortably kept, and frequented
by patrons of moderate means. There were
two public houses of more fashionable pre-
tensions in the place.

It was on the afternoon of Monday, the
14th day of February, that I took quarters
at the Sabine House, and after tea I re-
quested the landlord to build a fire in my
room, which he did; and he also furnished
me with a good lamp. ° It was eight o’clock,
and I sat at the table engaged in reading,
when some one rapped upon my door. I said
‘Come in,” and a young man, named Laban
Shaw, entered, bringing his carpet bag in
his hand. This Shaw [ had known very
wellas a clerk of Gabriel Butterworth’s, but
I had never been intimate with him from
the fact that I had never liked him. He
must have seen the look of displeasure up-
on my face, for he quickly said:

“Pardon me, Mr. Watson, I don’t mean
to intrude. I have come down to be. pres-
ent at the examination to-morrow—sum-
moned by Butterworth’s man, of course—
and I got here too late to get a room with
a stove in it; and, worse still, 1 must take
aroom with another bed in it, and with a
stranger for company. And so, may I just
warm my fingers and toes by your fire, and
leave my carpet bag under your bed?”

He laughed when he spoke of the carpet
bag; but yet he did not know what sort of
faculty his stranger room-mate might have
for getting up and walking off in the night.

Of course I granted him his request, and
he put his carpet bag under my bed, and
then sat down by my stove, and we chatted
sociably enough for half an hour, or more,
without once alluding to the business which
had brought the pair of us to Wiltonburg.
His conversation was pleasant, anf I really
came to like the fellow: and I thought to
myself that I had been prejudiced against
him without cause. At length he arose and
bade me good-night, and went away, and
shortly afterward I retired.

I had been in bed but a little while, when
another rap upon my door disturbed me;
aiid to my demand of what was wanted I
received answer from Laban Shaw. He
bade me not to light a lamp. He had only
come for his night-gown. He could get it
in the dark. J arose and unlocked my door,
and his apologies were many and earnest.
He always slept, in winter, in a flannel
night-gown, and he had thoughtlessly left
itin his carpet bag. Ile was sorry—very
sorry. He had thought to try to sleep with-
out it rather than disturb me; but his room
was cold, and—

{ cut him short, and told him there was
no need of further apology; and while he
fumbled over his bag, | went to the stove
to make double assurance that the fire was
all right. I offered to light a match for
him, but he said he had got his dress, and
all was right. He then went out, and I
closed and locked the door after him, and
then got back into bed.

But I was not to sleep. I had been very
sleepy when Shaw disturbed me; but an en-
tirely different feeling possessed me now.
First came a nervous twitching in my limbs
“erawly” feeling, as some express

it—that sensation which induces gaping and

yawning, but which no amount of yawn-
ing could now suddue. By-and-by a
sense of nightmare stole upon me: and,
though perfectly awake, a sense as of im-
pending danger possessed me. At length
so uncomfortable did I become in my re-
cumbent position, that I arose and lighted
my lamp, resolved to replenish my fire, and
dress myself, and see if I could read away
my nervous fit.

My lamp was lighted, and as [ returned
to the bed-side for my slippers, my atten-
tion was attracted by a string which lay up-
on the carpet—a string leading from the bed
to the door. I stooped to examine it and
found it fast at both ends. I brought the
lamp, and took a more careful survey. ‘The
string was a fine silken trout-line, new and
strong, one end of which disappeared be-
neath the bed, and the other beneath the
door. In my then present condition I was
suspicious of evil, and my senses were pain-
fully keen. Raising the hanging edge of
the coverlet I looked under the bed. The
carpet bag which Laban Shaw had left
there was partly open, with the silken line
leading out from it. What could it mean?
Had the man accidentally carried the end of
the line away with his night-dress without
noticing it? I drew the bag out from beneath
the bed, and as I held its jaws apart I saw,
within, a double-barreled pistol, both ham-
mers cocked, bright percussion caps gleam-
ing upon the tubes, while the silken line,
with double end, was made fast to the trig-
gers! And I saw that the muzzles. of the
pistol barrels were inserted into the end of
an oblong box, or case, of galvanized iron.
And I comprehended, too, that a very slight
pull upon that string might have discharged
the pistols—and, furthermore, that a man

 

 

outside of my door
thing!

For a little time my hands trembled so
that I dared not touch the infernal contriv-
ance; but at length I composed myself and
went at work. First, L cut the string with
my knife; and then, as carefully as_possi-
ble, I eased down the hammers of the pistol,
after which I drew it from the iron case. |
had just done this when I heard a step in
the hall outside my door. Quick as thought
I sprang up, turned the key, and threw the
door open; and before me, revealed by the
light of my lamp, stood Laban Shaw. He
was frightened when he saw me, and trem-
bled like an aspen. I was stronger than he
at any time, and now he was a child in my
hands. I grasped him by the collar, and
dragged him into my room; and I pointed
the double-barreled pistol at his breast; and
I told him I would shoot him as I would
shoot a dog if he gave me occasion.

He was abject and terrified. Like a
whipped cur he crawled at my feet, and
begged for mercy. His employer had hired
him to do it with promise of great reward.
It had transpired that my testimony before
the jury would be conclusive of Butter-
worth’s guilt, and Butterworth had taken
this means to get rid of me. In his great
terror, the poor accomplice made a full con-
and when he had told all, I re-
leased my grasp. He begged that I would
let him go; but I dared not—my duty would
not allow it. Irang my bell, and in time
the hostler, who

might have done that

fession;

slept in the office, an-
swered by summons. I. sent him for an
officer, and at length had the satisfaction of
seeing my prisoner led safely away.

On the following day the carpet bag was
taken before the grand jury, and the iron
ease examined by an experienced chemist
assisted by an old armorer from the arsenal.
It was found to contain a fulminate of mer-
eury, mixed with bits of iron; and it
the opinion of both the chemist and
armorer that the power of the terrific ex-

was
the
plosive agent, had it been ignited, as it was
placed, beneath my bed, would not only
have been sufficient to blow me to atoms,
but that it would also have literally stripped
and shivered to fragments all of the house
above it.

And a simple pull of that silken string
would have been sufficient to this horrible
end! And but for my nervous waking—my
ineubus of forboding—the destroyer would
have come; the fatal cord would have been
touched; the mine sprung; and I should have
been launched into eternity
lightning’s bolt!

And so Gabriel Butterworth did not pro-
cure the destruction of my testimony; but,
through that testimony, the grand jury
found cause for indictment of far graver
character than had at first been anticipated;
and of those graver charges he was con-
victed. Seth Damon received back the full
sum he had intrusted to the false man’s
care, and shortly afterward I enteréd. into
business with him; and to-day Seth Damon
and I are partners. Laban Shaw came out
from prison and went to Idaho. I have
not heard of him sinee. Gabriel Butter-
worth did not live to serve out his full term
of sentence.

Hints to Employes.

There is only one spirit that achieves a
great success. The man who seeks only
how to make himself most useful, whose aim
is to render himself indispensible to his em-
ployer, Whose whole being is animated with
the purpose to fill the largest possible place
in the walk assigned to him, has in the ex-
hibition of that spirit the guarantee of sue-
cess. He commands the situation, and shall
walk in the light of prosperity all his days.
On the other hand, the man who accepts
the unwholesome advice of the demagogue
and seeks only how little he may do, and
how easy he may render his place ‘and not
lose his employment altogether, is unfit for
service. As soon as there is a supernumer-
ary on the list, he becomes disengaged as
least valuable to his employer. The man
who is afraid of doing too much is near of
kin to him who seeks to do nothing, and
was begot in the same family. They are
neither of them in the remotest degree a re-
lation to the man whose willingness to due
everything possible to his toueh places him
at the head of the active list.

Couldn’t Account for the Difficulty.

A lady asked to be weighed at a certain
Monroe street grocery store the other day.
She had just purchased a pound package of
salaratus and had it in her hand when she
stepped on to the scales. ‘‘Why, ve gained
a pound,” she remarked to herself when the
elerk had finished manipulating the weights.
Then, remembering her salaratus, she ex-
claimed: ‘‘Oh Lord! I forgot I had this,”
and hastily popped the package into her
pocket. Then she began to work the
weights, and wondered why she could get
no different result. When she left the store,
with knitted brow, she was still evidently
trying to fathom the mystery.

t& Subscribers and others, then writing
to advertisers, will confer a favor on the pub-
lishers by mentioning that they saw the adver-
tisement in the columns of this paper.

 

The first case of a labor dispute submit-
ted to State arbitration has been decided in
Lynn, Mass. A Mr. Breed got into a dis-
pute with his shoemakers. He refused to
have any dealings with any of them as rep-
resentatives of the Knights of La-
bor, and dismissed three or four men
on grounds connected with this difference.
There also was a question of wages at issue.
While the case was in progress Mr. Breed
withdrew from it on discovering that the
State would not compel his workmen to
abide by its results. But the workmen went
on with the ease, and have got their decis-
ion. All that they gain is a recommenda-
tion to Mr. Breed to take back into his em-
ploy the men he had dismissed. The Com-
missioners rule that his refusal to deal with
the representatives of the Knights is a mat-
ter of no importance; and that wages in
Lynn, being higher than in the neighboring
towns which compete for the shoe business,
ought to be reduced. The Commission
evidently have given up the belief that
competition among working men will re-
«duce wages to a common level in all places
near enough for the migration of labor.
But are they sure that the lower wages else-
where are not compensated by local advan-
tages—as in the cost of house-room and the
price of food—in which the Lynn workmen
donot share?

 

 

As the Pine is Cut, the Hemlock Dies.

Thos. W. Farrin, senior member of the
firm of M. B. Farrin & Co., sawmill opera-
tors at South Boardman, in town for
few days, in consultation with his son and
partner, who resides in Cincinnati. Mr.
Ferrin was seen by a reporter of THE
TRADESMAN and asked relative to the con-
dition of the lumber business in his section.
“We have 3,000 acres near South Board-
man,” said Mr. Farrin, ‘‘and have only
enough pine left to last us about four months.
We have cut upwards of eighteen million
feet, all of which has been marketed in Cin-
¢cinnati. We have about three million feet
of hemlock on our own land and the far-
mers in the vicinity own about seven mil-
lion more, all of which we will cut out, if
we can make arrangements which will en-
able us to do business on a margin—that is,
if we can get the timber at a fair price and
btain a freight rate which will leave any-
thing in the business for us. [ estimate
that there are three hundred million feet of
hemlock along the line of the Grand Rapids
& Indiana, which the road should encour-
age placing on the market without delay. I
notice that as soon as the pine is eut off the
Jand, the hemlock begins to die of it own
accord. The two kinds of timber seem to
depend upon each other. It is foolish for
the the railway officials to argue that there
is plenty of time to market hemlock timber
yet. The fact is, unless the hemlock is
marketed soon, there will be none to mar-
ket.”

A Common Occurrence.

‘They callita good joke on an Owosso
hardware man who gave an order for @
quantity of snow shovels to a Chicago firm,
because when the shovels came they were
found te have been made by an Owosso firm.

Such an oecurrence is by no means un-
common. People who build fine houses come
a thousand miles to Grand Rapids to buy their
furniture, but when Grand Rapids people
want something fine they go down to New
York to get it. When the goods get here,
they find the Grand Rapids trademark on
them, and then they wonder how they could
be so foolish as to pay two freights for the
sake of buying their furniture in the metro-
polis.

Over £1,000,000 worth of logwood was
imported in this country in 1886. This isa
decrease of 20 per cent. since 1885, which is
probably due to the introduction of anilin

Howes’ advent to Grand Rapids, it is stated
that he has 60,000 barrels of apples in cold
storage, on which he will realize the hand-
some profit of $2 per barrel. The fruit cost
him $1.75 in the fall and he is now dispos-

ing of the same at $3.75.

The Grand Rapids School Furniture Co.,
which has made wonderful strides in the
manufacture of school, church and opera
furniture, will shortly be merged into a
stock company, with a capital stock of
$100,000. Only half of the stock will be
taken a first, the remainder being held in
reserve by the corporation. Messrs. Per-
kins & Hess, who—with Mr. Perigrine—
were the founders of the business, will con-
tinue at the head of the institution as man-
agers, which is a guaranty that the business
will be conducted successfully and that the
returns from the investment will be in every
way satisfactory to the stockholders.

earried on an extensive milling business
at that place until April 5, 1886, when an
assignment was made for the benefit of
their creditors, the liabilities amounting to
about $30,000. This assignment has now
been set aside and declared null and void
on the ground that Amanda M. F. Goodale
did not make an assignment of her private
property for the benefit of the creditors.
Most of the creditors living around here
have garnisheed the assignees and
will get their claim in full, while those
outside will probably lose all.

Maxims for Merchants.
From the Dry Goods Chronicle.

No merchant is worthy of an abundance
who is not thankful for the small degree of
prosperity.

Whoever enters the
our leading bankers, whether his proposals
are accepted or declined, is sure to meet

with civility.

A man who is furnished with arguments
from the mint will convinee his antagonist
much sooner than one who draws them
from reason and philosophy. °
' Tt ean be said with entire truth that if
the farmer lived as recklessly as the ordi-
nary artisan in the city does, he would be-
come bankrupt in short order.

In a mercantile age like the present, the
value of life economy should be fully appreci-
ated. Excess of work or excess of care is
sure to curtail the life and diminish the
strength of man.

An indorser takes all the responsibility

and risk without remuneration, and fre-|-

quently without thanks. An indorser
should regard every indorsement as an obli-
gation, and provide for it accordingly.

A merchant with good credit never runs
after patent medicines; he keeps a tonic in
his stomach every day. His creditors had
as lief take his noteas the money, for there
is no trouble in getting a discount.

What do you give and expect in return
from your customer when he is leaving your
store? the last word? In extending the kind
invitation to return, you carry your answer
to him, which will be either a ‘thank you,”
or “I will.”

The only way a young man without capi-
tal ean get on in commercial life is by earn-
ing the good opinion of employers. Let
him perform his duties in a way that shows
that he is not afraid of doing more than he
is paid for doing, and he need never fear
promotion.

There is hardly a retail storekeeper in
the country who is not the stay and support
in adversity of some family whose account
for necessities is allowed to run without
any regard to the chance of it being paid.
Such accounts as these are the truest and
purest charity of which masculine human
nature is capable.

The life of a merchant gives his charae-
ter pretty hard trial. Not only does it ex-
ercise his sagacity and prudence, but it puts

-ounting-rooms of |

 

his integrity to the severest test. He is
surrounded by the selfishness of trade, he
sees men profiting by cunhing and fraud,
and he is tempted to try his skill in. artifice
and deception. Every day his honesty is
tried in some way.

The aim makes the merchant; the spirit

; and energy, the greatness or bitterness of

the character and life. When a merchant’s
aim is right, he will have something that
shall survive defeat and glorify even pover-
ty; and when accumulating prosperity is his
it shall not undermine his principles or
make him insensible to the uses of wealth.

Many a retailer imagines himself to be
doing a large and profitable business be-
eause he is disposing of a consider: rble
quantity of goods at an ad vance on the
price paid by him to the jobber for them,
but the facts are, in many cases, he is actu-
ally losing money, as thestore expenses and
cost of conducting his businéss exceed the
profits on sales.

‘A statistician puts the price paid for the
food of the people of the United States for
one year at $5,000,000,000. That would bea
little less than $100 on an average. The army
ration costs about twenty cents, and some of
the best-regulated public institutions of the
country supply food for their inmates for
less than that. It is estimated by Mr. At-
kinson, who makes such matters a study,
that the average standard daily ration of ac-
tual workers—mechanies, artisans, factory
operatives, or laborers—represents an ex-
pense of twenty-five cents, including meat,
milk, eggs, bread, butter, vegetables, sugar,
tea, coffee, fruit, salt, ete.

It is as necessary for a business house
to have some one of the number connected
therewith, make it a special study to know
the financial standing and worthiness of
the customers who trade with them, as it is
to divide other branches of work up among
those employed—one at fixing neat show
windows and another attending to the shelv-
ing or making daily records of ‘‘goods
wanted,” ete. No banker loans money to
men without first having a guarantee that
the parties are responsible. Hence, the re-
tailer should have his community investi-
gated, as it were, on the question of their
ability to pay their store bills.

GREENNILLE, Feb.

H. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:
DeAR Str—I notice in your answer toa
communication from Oceana county that
you say that our convention does not con-
flict with the G. A. R. Encampment. You
are undoubtedly led to make this statement
from seeing the first call sent out by the G.
A. R. officers, which was wrong and has
since been corrected by them. Their meet-
ing commences on March 15, as does ours,
but in place of being objectionable, I think
it advantageous—unless, of course, Grand
Rapids is unable to provide accommodations
for delegates to both meetings at once, which
1 hardly think is true. Our State Associa-
tion will have 125 to 150 delegates, if fully
represented. I have attended the last four
Annual Encampments of the G. A. R., and
while they may have 800 delegates, I have
never seen to exceed 500, and think 400
nearer the number who will be present. If
Grand Rapids can provide the accommoda-
tion, I believe it preferable to hold both
meetings at the same time, as now ealled,
for then we could see our old comrades,

| transact our business, and get home in a

_much shorter time.
We solicit a sample order |

Association Notes.

The Lonia Business Men’s Protective As-
sociation has changed its name to the Ionia
Business Men’s Exchange.

Frankfort Express: The Business Men’s
Association has appointed a committee to
consider the best means of procuring fire
protection for the village.

Secretaries of local associations should
report to the State Secretary the names of
delegates selected to attend the March con-
vention, as soon as the selection is made, in
order that reduced rate certificates may be
forwarded them.

The fourth Delinquent List of the Mer-
chants’ Protective Association of Big Rap-
ids is one of the largest and most complete
local sheets ever issued. It bears evidence
of careful compilation and will prove of
much value to the business men of Big
Rapids.

Dr. V. Sinz, the Trent druggist, writes
as follows relative to the newly-organized
Casnovia, Bailey and Trent Business Men’s
Association: ‘Am perfectly satisfied with
the Association, asI have already made
several collections of from ten to fifteen
years’ standing. Got my money back, long
ago, with interest.”

East Jordan Enterprise: The Business
Men’s Association at Traverse City is doing
good in the way of relief work. They have
committees to receive contributions and
look up such as are in destitute cireum-
stances and unable to work and render them
such aid as they need. This is a move in
the right direction, and we think it might
be well for our Business Men’s Association
to look up the same thing in our village and
see if there is not need of some such move-
ment here.

Thirty-four persons, representing eight-
een towns, met at St. Paul on February 23
and organized the Northwestern Retail
Dealers’ Association, to be composed of re-

tail dealers of meat, bread, wood or eoal.
<obert M. Floyd was present and gave the
convention a talk on adulterated foods. Of-
ficers were elected and the private collection
scheme of a St. Paul man adopted for the
use of the members of the Association. The
next meeting will be held at Minneapolis on
July 12.
The organization of Sherman and Hart-

ford increases the number of loeal associa-
tions to an even sixty. Two more associa-

tions—South Boardman and Muir—have
affiliated with the State body, which swells
the number of affiliated association to 44
and the total auxiliary membership to 1,324.
The editor of Tie TRADESMAN will organ-
ize Otsego on Monday evening, Flint on
Tuesday evening, Battle Creek on Wednes-
day evening, and other appointments will
be made for Thursday and Friday evenings.
The officers of the State Association hope
to see the number of associations inereased
to 75, and the auxiliary membership to
1,500, by the opening of the State eonven-
tion on March 15.

First Patent Medicine Inventor—How is
your cough remedy selling, Dr. Duckling?

Second Patent Medicine Mnyventor—Fair-
ly, fairly; but it is not likely to set the coun-
try on fire. Iam thinking of trying some-
thing else.

F. P. M. I.—Indeed? Of what nature?

S. P. M. I.—A remedy for dyspepsia.

F. P. M. 1.—I should think that that bus-
iness had been overdone.

S. P. M. I.—It was, a few years ago, but
there never was a better time for putting a
remedy of that kind on the market than now.

F. Pp. M. 1.—What makes you think so?

5. P, M. I.—Why, young ladies’ cooking
schools are being organized all over the eoun-
try.

Dear Sitr—I am instructed by the Busi-
ness Men’s Association of Belding to cor-
respond with youin relation to the State
Association. What does it cost to become
members of the State Association? What

Five Delegates from Coopersville.
COOPERSVILLE, Feb. 28, 1887.
E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:
_ DEAR Smm—At our regular meeting, last
Friday evening, the following were elected
delegates to attend the State convention in
your city Mareh 15 and 16: R. D. Me-
Naughton, G. W. Watrous, W. R. Boying-
ton, Wm. Mines and A. Wagner.
Yours respectfully,

First Shopper—Come into Bigg’s store
with mea moment, dear, and then we'll
go home together.

Second Shopper—I don’t think I have got
time to stop.

First Shopper—Have you heard the new
clerk say ‘*‘Cash?”

Second Shopper—Lead on, my dear.

‘‘Now you tell me that I have a fair mem-
ory, a great capacity for learning languages,
a large bump of veneration, and a _ well-de-
veloped head, generally.” ‘‘You have,” said
the phrenologist. ‘‘Is there anything,” asked
the man under examination, in the exuber-
ance of his joy, ‘‘that my head needs to
make it absolutely perfect?” ‘*Yes.” ‘*What
is it, pray?” asked the man. ‘‘A shampoo.”

A lady had some goods sent home, mark-
ed C. O. D, A little nine year-old girl ex-
claimed: ‘‘l know what C. O. D. means:
Callon dad.’ Which was singularly near
the mark.

Hartford in Line on Organization.

The business men of Hartford celebrated
Washington’s Birthday by forming one of
the most promising and, comparatively
speaking, strongest organizations in the
State. The editor of Tor TRADESMAN act-
ed as master of ceremonies. At the conclu-
sion of his explanation of the aims and ob-
jects of organized effort, I. B. Barnes
moved that the formation of an association
be immediately proceeded with, which was
adopted, when the following gentlemen
handed in their names for charter member-
ship: J. Oppenheim, M. C. Conklin, V.
E. Manley, F. Ingraham, A. McIntosh, I.
B. Barnes, Butler & Roberts, L.P.Husen, L.
R. Hinsdill, G. T. Chamberlain, Fred. F.
Allen, C. E. Osborn, John Gross, Geo. Wil-
kenson, Chas. Northrup.

The constitution and by-laws printed in
THE TRADESMAN last week were adopted
for the government of the Association.

Election of officers resulted as follows:

President—V. E. Manley.

Vice-President—Geo. T. Chamberlain.

Secretary—I. B. Barnes.

Treasurer—A. Oppenheim.

Executive Committee—President, Secre-
tary, Treasurer, C. E. Osborn and L. R.
Hinsdill.

The election of the Business Committee
was deferred until the next meeting.

The Blue Letter and other blanks recom-
mended by THE TRADESMAN were adopt-
ed for the use of the collection department,
and the Executive Committee was initructed
to procure the printing of the same.

The editor of the Day Spring was re-
quested to print the constitution and by-
laws in full in the next issue of his paper,
after which the meeting adjourned.

In company with the officers of the Asso-
ciation the editor of THe TRADESMAN
called, the day following, on every business
man who was not present at the meeting,
which resulted in the securing of the follow-
ing members: W. A. Engle, W. D. Cod-
man, Chas. Mortimer, Ed. Finley, Bennett
& Palmer, H. P. Phelps, HW. D. Forsyth, H.
L. Gleason, E. Hemingway, Ocabock &
Thompson, 8S. F. Warren, J. S. Heald, Geo.
W. Merriman.

This gives the Association a total mem-
bership of 28, which includes every busi-
ness man in the place. Look out for good

results from Hartford!

Organization of the Sherman Business
Men’s Association.
TRAVERSE Ciry, Feb. 17, 1887.
E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:

DEAR Srr—1 have just returned from
Sherman, where I assisted, last evening, in
the organization of an Association. While
small in numbers, it is destined to do good
work in the future. The meeting was
called to order by J. H. Wheeler, temporary
chairman, who called upon me to state the
objects of the local work. After hastily re-
viewing the work done by similar bodies,
fully explaining our aims and purposes,
hinting of possibilities that lay before the
business men of Sherman through their
combined action, H. B. Sturtevant arose
and, after expressing himself decidedly in
favor of such an organization, citing cases

where reforms were needed, moved that an |:

Association be formed at once. The con-
stitution was adopted as read, and the mem-
bership made upon the individual basis.
The election resulted in the following
named officers:

President—H. B. Sturtevant,

Vice-President—B. H. Rose.

Seeretary—W. G. Shane.

Treasurer—F. D. Hopkins.

Executive Committee—President, Secre-
tary, Treasurer, E. B. Stanley and W. J.
Austin.

The regular blanks of the Association
were adopted, a vote of thanks was tendered
me and the meeting adjourned. The Asso-
ciation is well officered and will do good
work.

The firm of Gilbert, Hopkins & Co. has
inaugurated the cash system in its business
and has no desire to return to the old credit
system.

The merchants of Sherman have very
large, well-kept stocks, and are alive to
their best interests. The railroad interests
are uppermost there, as in all Northern
Michigan towns. TheC. & W. M. may
well seek an outlet through that section.
The magnificent hardwood forests, the fer-
tility of soil, the improved farms that lie in
the vicinity of Sherman, rank above any-
thing I have seen.

On my way out 1 called upon THE
TRADESMAN’s old friend, W. H. H.
Brownson, and he accompanied me to Sher-
man. He is a strong advocate of this work,
and a member of the Traverse City organiz-
ation. His is a royal good place to stop at.
Never pass his house; a warm welcome will
await you. Yours truly,

FRANK HAMILTON.

BUSINESS LAW.

 

 

Brief Digests of Recent Decisions in Courts
of Last Resort.

MEANING OF PHRASE “CONTAINED IN.”
A policy of insurance against fire and
lightning of horses ‘‘contained in” a certain
barn of the insured was held to cover the
loss of one of the horses struck by lightning
while in a pasture on the same farm. So
held by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

LEASE — MEANING OF
‘SpLANT.”

The goods in a promiscuous country store
cannot properly be denominated either fixt-
ures or tools essential to the conduct of the
business of a mill to saw and plane lumber,
and are not covered by the word ‘‘plant” ina
contract of lease, according to the decision
of the Supreme Court of Georgia.

CONTRACT OF

MISDESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
Where a misdescription of property was
written in an application for insurance by
an agent of the insurance company without
the knowledge or consent of the insured,
the Supreme Court of Indiana held, in an
action on the policy after loss, that the com-
pany was estopped from setting up such
misdescription as a defense to the action.

DISCHARGE IN BANKRUPTCY—SUBSEQUENT
PROMISE.

In the ease of Hobaugh vs. Murphy, the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania recently
held that a promise in these words: ‘‘I will
pay you every cent I owe you,” or ‘‘I owe
you the note and will pay you every cent of
it,” where no note was exhibited or other-
wise specially referred to, nor amount,
nor date, nor circumstances of identi-
fication given, was insufficient to remove the
bar of a discharge in bankruptey, although
the evidence showed that there was then no
indebtedness between the parties except the
note in suit.

LIBEL—DISCHARGE OF CONDUCTOR.

A conductor upon a railroad was dis-
charged by the superintendent, who put up
in a waiting-room at the depot a notice siat-
ing that the conductor (naming him) had
been discharged ‘‘for failing to ring up all
fares collected.” The conductor brought
suit against the company for libel and got a
verdict. The Supreme Court of Pennslyva-
nia reversed this judgment, saying that the
words were of a very technical character
and that, without explanation, they were
unintelligible. The failing to ring up the
fares, the court said, might have resulted
from accident, negligence, physical inabili-
ty, or other causes, and did not necessarily
imply fraudulent motive.

BANK—DEPOSIT—LIABILITY.

A person deposited money in a city bank
to the credit of his country bank for his use,
this course being adopted as a means for
the transmission of the funds to the de-
positor’s place of business. The city bank
transferred the funds to another city bank,
which was the correspondent of the country
bank, without any notice that the country
bank was a trustee for another. The funds
were placed to the eredit of the country
bank, and on its failure they were applied
on its indebtedness to its correspondent
bank. The Supreme Couit of Ilinois held
that there was no privity of contract be-
tween the depositor and the second city
bank, and that he could not maintain an
action against that bank, but had his action
against the first-named bank.

ene

Overcrowding in the Retail Business.

An investigation made under the direc-
tion of the American Economic Association
has resulted in the obtaining of some facts
as to the general condition of retail busi-
ness in several states, but more especially
Kansas. Replies received to inquiries made
by the committee, chiefly from retail deal-
ers, disclose their view of the present status
of their trade, and on theJwhoie cannot be
said to be very encouraging. The result of
the inquiry seems to show that retail trade
is overcrowded. This is more especially
the case in cities the territory tributary to
which is limited, and in which the chief cus-
tom comes from the cify itself. In cities
where a considerable section outside of the
city can be depended upon for custom the
situation is much better and complaint is
less frequent. Outof 58 replies to a ques-
tion as to whether business was good or not,
44 answered in the negative and only 14 in
the affirmative. The grocery trade appears
to have complained very generally, as 80 per
cent. of them report trade bad. The fact is
also brought out that while the population
in certain towns and cities had increased 20
per cent. in five years, the number of re-
tailers doing business had inereased 90 per
-cent. The Kansas City Times, from which
the above facts are taken, in commenting
upon them, charges the trouble to there be-
ing ‘‘no money in agriculture.” This and
the taxation to which the farming class is
subjected, it is added, are directly responsi-
ble for the present inactivity.

Mr. Hodgson, the Liverpool cheese bro-
ker, makes the total shortage of cheese for
the year ending May 1 next, 550,000 boxes.
If this estimate be correct, there must be a
slow but continuous advance in prices. The
Liverpoo! cable report has recently advanced
to sixty-four shillings, showing a firmness
in prices in England. There is little doubt
that the market will soon reach foyrteen

.cents here.

 

An Incident of the Snow Blockade.

Diring the recent ice blockade on the
Traverse City branch of the G. R. & IL
Railway, livery men had a rich harvest car-
rying traveling men from Walton to Trav-
erse City. Sunday morning one of Mor-
gan’s teams drove up to McCally’s, at Kings-
ley, and deposited nine traveling men, who,
in several different languages, demanded
breakfast before proceeding further. Lan-
dreth, the seed man, and Ferry’s distributing
agent (he of the lavender coat and endless
stories), were there; also O., S, & Co.’s
own and only Schweikart was there, selling
T. T. T. pork (and his customers). In
charge of the driver, who was a deputy
sheriff, was a young man on his way from
Walton to the insane asylum. He was very
quiet and was allowed complete liberty.
While the party were in at breakfast a
farmer approached Brewster and asked who
the party were. Brewster replied, without
hesitation, ‘‘Nine traveling men and one
crazy man, on his way to the asylum.”

Upon being assured that such was the
case, he replied: ‘‘Wall, I’ve had that ’ere
thing told me afore, and I’ve been watching
them critters for the last half hour, and V’ll
be d——d if I can pick out the crazy cuss!”

The Michigan Tradesma,

Adulterating Goods.

From the Chicago Journal of Commerce.

There are many spasmodic complaints of
impure, adulterated, imperfect and unsound
articles of production offered to purchasers
and consumers, and remedies asked for.
The sugar is adulterated with sand or glu-
cose; the coffee and spices with various for-
eign cheaper substances; the woolen goods
are part cotton, or hair or shoddy; the silk
is weighted or stiffened with colors and jute
and cotton; the iron is part cinders or from
poor ore; nails made from serap and old
rails; steel is anything but steel; our silver
is platinum or zine, or sterling or nickel;
our gold is copper and zine, and in and sil-
ver and lead; in short the world is a deceit,
a cheat, a humbuganda fraud. But, is this
Is the world shoddy, paste, padded,
veneered and varnished? If so, why?
What is the remedy? Is there no profit in
genuine material, honest work and truthful
results? But, again, we may ask, do not
producers make what there is a market for?
Does the world want the genuine, honest,
pure, and unadulterated, or does it want
something ‘‘just as good?” While America
has all the production necessary from the
foreign cheap and nasty products, she ought
to be able to produce the genuine. If our
ports were open and free to the floods of
imitation trash of the world, there might be
excuse of trick, deceit and fraud. But
where is the blame? Do the people want
to pretend for what they are not, want to
appear to live above or out of their honest
spheres? Is it not the want of genuine,
honest, healthful character on the part of
the people which gives market to shoddy?
Suppose it is, but who can tell the differ-
ence! My diamonds shine just as envy-en-
gendering in paste and plate as my neigh-
bor’s in real. We eat and drink and sleep
and wear as our inherent honesty of char-
acter compels, and a world absorbed in its
own affairs takes little heed. If our own
standard of manhood and womanhood is

 

 

so?

satisfied, justifies us, then where is the
blame? But is anybody deceived? It is

not a reflection upon the intelligence of the
American people to say they are deceived
or cheated. Are there any who will admit
they are so ignorant? Do we buy two dol-
lars’ worth for fifty cents? Do we ever be-
lieve the representations of sellers? Do we
ever believe our eyes, our ears or our noses
regarding the purchase of two dollars for
fifty cents? The world makes what there
is a demand for. Cheap clothes, cheap
foods, imitation ornaments, cheap railways,
cheap tools, cheap gas, and cheap steam and
electricity, and cheap diamonds and—cheap
people.

How Rice is Cleaned and Polished.

From the Popular Science Monthly.

According to the report transmitted by
our consular officers from England and Ger-
many, the process for cfeaning rice is quite
complicated. The grain, after having been
taken to the top story of the mill and blown
and séived, is divested of its paddy or husks
by passing it over a seive having a jumping
action to tapping motion at the bottom, or
by being carried between stones like those
usually employed fer grinding wheat.
These stones, in England, are of a composi-
tion of magnesian calecinate and emery, and
always keep a sharp face through the dif-
ference in hardness between the emery and
the magnesian cement. Shelling stones
covered with cork have been tried and given
up; and in Italy a surface of hard wood set
on end is sometimes used, like the Burmese
native hand mills. In the process of shell-
ing, a meal or flour is made from the erush-
ing of the rice-paddy, and the three pellicles
which, inside of the paddy, inelose the
grain, are removed by apparatus adapted
for the purpose. The husks are separated
from the grain by a blast or exhaust, and
the pellicles which still adhere to the grain
by bruising ina mortar. The rice is then
winnowed again, milled, re-screened, and
polished, in polishers that generally consist
of a sheep-skin covered drum—the skin of
a South Down is preferred, on account of the
thickness of its wool—which revolves inside
of a fixed wire casing about eighteen hun-
dred to two thousand feet per minute in its
periphery. The form ofan apparatus mostly |
used is that of an inverted frustrum of a
cone. The general principle of its operation
is that of a wooden cylinder revolving in a
wooden mantle of wire-work, between
which the rice’ has to circulate and be rub-
bed. Sometimes the rice, as it passes into
the polisher, is subjected to an infusion of
indigo toned down with rice-flour to a pale
blue. This gives the rice a bluish tint, that
is liked better in England than the natural
ereamy whiteness of the grain itself. On
leaving the polishers, the grain is blown or
aspirated, and separated into whole rice,
broken rice or rice of different sizes. <A re-
cent “improvement” is to pass the grain
through an oiling machine so as to give ita
smoother and glossier surface.

Overworked Men at the Top.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Every business man will recognize the
truth of the remark made by President
White, of Cornell University, in an address
to the students. Said he: ‘‘We constantly
have these two things, a vast number of
young fellows running about the country,

 

 

doing almost anything and doing it i]; and,
on the other hand, a considerable number |
of places looking almost in vain for some- |
body to do the best work.” No oecupation
or profession is so crowded with workers |
that those at the top are not worked almost |
to death,

Local Organization with a Vengeance,

Among the druggists designated by Presi-
dent Wurzburg to work up local organiza-
tion was Henry Kephart, the Berrien
Springs druggist. Mr. Kephart appears to
have gone at the subject ina systematic
manner, as the following address to the
druggists of Berrien county would seem to
indicate:

BERRIEN SprINGS, Feb. 1, 1887.

Dear Sir—The President of the Michi-

gan State Pharmaceutical Association has
Sonolatet mea committee of one to work
up the subject of local organization in this
county.

The benefits of local organizations are ad-
mirably shown in the various local societies
organized in Michigan during the past three
years, and while concerted action among
druggists is a direct benefit to the trade in-
terested, it is also a strong support to the
State Association.

Shall we organize? I want to get the
views of every druggist in the county on
the subject, and if a majority are in favor of
it we will call a meeting ai once. Hoping
to hear from you, I am

Respectfully yours,
Henry KEPHART.

Tne TRADESMAN is not able to state au-
thoritively that the above appeal was re-
ceived with open arms, but the subjoined
eall is pretty good evidence to that effect:

BERRIEN SPRINGS. Feb. 25, 1887.

Dear Sir—Many of the druggists of
Berrien county are anxious to meet and or-
ganize a society which shall be permanent,
such as may have the effect to promote our
professional and business interests, to in-
crease our pharmaceutical knowledge, and
in many ways 2dvance our interests. As an
organized body we can do much toward the
enactment of such needed laws as will pro-
tect us from much ignorance and some
knavery, and suppress and punish unquali-
fied or raseally persons who are preying up-
on the public. That occasional meetings,
at which a free interchange of opinions may
be had, will develop a higher degree of
knowledge of our art is certain; that such
gatherings may be made enjoyable is not
less so; that sueh an organization will be an
aid to the State Association and to the
druggists of this county, as represented,
needs no proof.

I, therefore, at the request of many of
our most honored brethren, invite you to
meet at the Y. M. C. A. rooms in Niles, on
Wednesday, March 2, at 11. o’elock, a. m.,
sharp, to effect such an organization as bas
already been created and proved of value in
other counties, and I urge each of you to be
present or send a representative from your
establishment. Respectfully,

Henry Kepuarr.

The Drug Market.

Articles in the drug line are steady in
price and the late advances are nearly all
sustained. The volume of trade is very
large for this season of the year and an

active demand makes prices firm. Quinine
is a little weak at present, but the reaction

is believed to be only temporary. Opium
is firm and has advanced 15 cents since our
last issue. Late advices from Smyrna con-
firm the reports of damage to winter sow-
ings and another advance is probable. The
present London price would make it cost
about $4 to import. Morphine is very firm
and is likely to be further advanced. Insect
powder is still hardening in price and we
mark up our quotations 3 cents per pound.
Carbolic acid is steady. There is a large
demand at full prices. Cuttle bone is weak
and lower. Arnica flowers are very firm.

       

Secretary Jesson in Town,
Jacob Jesson, Secretary of the
MAN Office Monday, and stated that the at-
tendance at the present examination session
of the Board promised to be larger than ev-
er before, eighty applications having al-
ready been made to him.

“K Muir’ or “K Miru” and Its Signifi-

cance.
GRAND Rapips, Feb. 22, 1887.
E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:

DEAR Srr—l noticed a prescription in
Tue TRADESMAN. this week which con-
tains an article called K Muir or K Miru.

I had a wrestle with that same thing, or
at least somthing very near like it, nearly
fifteen years ago.

An old man presented it and he called
that item ‘‘K Mera” and said it was deep
in color and good for diarrhea.

I happened to think of Tinct. Rhatany
and handed him the bottle.

‘“*That’s the checker,” said the old man, so
I put it in. I have always had an idea that
the ‘“‘K Muir” in question was a corruption
of ‘‘Krameria” but, of course, I do not know
for certain. O. H. RicHMonp.

WANTS SOMETHING EASY.
Evmira, Feb. 22, 1887
EK. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:

Dear Srr—*K Muir’—K. Cl.—Kalium
Muriate—Potassium Chloride. Ask me
something easy.

Yours,
N. B. BLAKESLEE.

ANOTHER TRANSLATION.
GRAND Rapips, Feb. 28, 1887.
&. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:

DEAR Stmr—'‘K Muir” evidently means
Chloride of Potassium. Such could be the
derivation of the term and that ingredient
is plainly needed to render the prescription
effective for the purpose intended.

Yours,
Wii. J. PAGE.

Muskegon Drug Clerk’s Association.

MvuskKEGON, Feb. 24, 1887.
E, A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:

DEAR Str—The regular meeting of the
Muskegon Drug Clerk’s Association was
held last evening. President I. C. Terry
being absent, D. A. Shoemacher was ap-
pointed chairman pro tem. C.5. Koon was
admitted as a member of the Association.
Jesse Hoyt read a paper on ‘‘Carbolic
Acid.” The remainder of the evening was
passed in criticism and_ social talking.
Some of the members brought up prescrip-
tions and counter orders:for explanation.

Our next meeting will be held on Wednes-
day, March 9.

To Repeal the Pharmacy Law.
tepresentative Cameron introduced a bill
in the House on February 23, providing for
the repeal of Act No. 184 of the Session
Laws of 1885, otherwise known as the
Pharmacy Law. The bill was read a first
and second time by its title and, pending its
reference to a committee, was laid on the

table.

See’y.

Peculiar Druggists’ Orders.

A Cambridgeport druggist has made a
practice for some years of saving in a scrap
book some of the most peculiar orders he
receives. ‘‘We are asked for some rather
strange things,” he said to the writer, ‘‘but
we can generally guess what is wanted.
Many people expect a druggist to prescribe
for their ailments, as it saves physicians’
charges, and the diagnoses of complaints
which come to us are amusing. Look at
these: ‘Send me some of the essence you
put people to sleep with when you cut their
fingers off.’ That evidently means ether. ‘I
want something to take tobacco out of my
mouth.’ Of course the scent of the tobacco
was the thing objected to. ‘Send mea
baby’s top to a nursing bottle,’ means with-
out doubt a nursing bottle top. ‘An ounce
of the smelling stuff that goes through your
brain,’ describes very well the effect of in-

haling ammonia. ‘Something for a sore
baby’s eye,’ is not easy to mistake, though

stated very oddly. Here is a startling order
for ‘enough epicac to throw up a girl four

years old.’ I cannot help syimpathizing
with this person, who asks for ‘enough

anise seed to take the twist out of a dose of
senna.’ Here is a graphie description of a
certain ailment, iu request for a ‘plaster for
aman kilt with stitches.’ Perhaps the man
who wrote this order for ‘something for a
saustic Woman’ builded better than he kuew.
Here is an order for a ‘heavy pain in the
bones that is coming out through his eyes.’
"The person who wrote for ‘something to
take a man’s breath away’ did not intend
murder or suicide, but merely wished for
cardamon seed or something of that nature.
1 sent a liniament to this lady, who asks for
‘something to rub my old man with.’ Not
a bad description of a poultice, is the order
for ‘enough flax-seed to make a pudding for
a sore toe.’ This child, who had ‘an itn-
pression on his heart, and a cough that is
choking him in the neck,’ ought to have
been taken to the doetor, as well as this oth-
er one, Who, his mother wrote, was ‘heaving
up and down and every way.’ Here is a re-
quest for ‘something to knock a eold out of
an old woman.’ The next one seems to be
in hard condition. She desires ‘something
for a woman who has a bad cough and can-
not cough.’ No druggist would hesitate for
a minute to fill this order: ‘Something, I
forget the name, but it is a eure.’ ‘Our own
preparation’ will just fill the bill in such a
case. But what should we send for ‘a
swelled woman’s foot,’ ‘a man with a dry
spit on him’ and ‘a woman whose appetite
is loose on her,’ ”

**We got used to phonetic spelling,” pur-
sued the druggist, ‘‘and are very seldom
unable to arrive at a fair conclusion of what
is wanted, even by the blindest writers.
Here are orders for penny garick, parry
garie and paddy garrick, which procured
paregoric in each’ case. These orders for
barneget, vergmount and bugmint, were
filled with bergamot; these requests for come-
earback, gum mare back, garmariback,
comearaback and ramback called for gum
arabic: these asking for camfier and camp-
fire meant camphor; worm me fuge and bar-
mafug meant vermifuge, of course; where
our customers have called for epicot, metic,
| epicack, apricot and epicat we have deliver-

 

 

ed ipecacuanha; the persons who wrote for
honey quintom, blew oint, Annie Quintom
and Anne Grintom gotunguentum, otherwise
blue ointment; orders for lodnom, lad num
and lord worm we filled with laudanum; for
balm of city we sent spermaceti; those who
wanted high stirrups got hive syrup; the
fellow who wrote for paint killer received
painkiller; I knew that Bubben whiskey
meant Bourbon whiskey, thatair root meant
arrow root, and that bitter Alice meant bit-
ter aloes. 1 sent Arabian balsam instead of
raving balsam to this man, corrosive subli-
mate instead of a gross of suppliments to that
one, and cherry pectoral instead of cherry
pickrel to this other. I substituted syrup
of squills in these orders for sharp squill
and sirrip of swill; sent Ayer’s pills to this

man who asks for Ear pill; Epsom salts to

the one who wrote for lapson salt, and some
cubebs instead of cupids to the other. Not
having any glory farm on hand, I took the
liberty of filling this order with chloroform;
and being out of flack ceed and flacks sed,
I sent flaxseed in that one.
‘“‘When I got these orders for ox sled acid
and horrid lime, I sent oxalic acid and
chlorate of lime. This man asks for Me
Cordon seed; this one for carman seed and
this one for colored man seeds, but I gave
eardamon seeds to each. Many orders come
in where one syllable is mistaken for a con-
junction, as churrup and quill for syrup of
squills; check and berry for checkerberry;
gold and thread for golden thread; spit and
turkletine, for spirits of turpentine; balm
and gilead for balm of Gilead; hope and dil-
dock, for opodeldeck. People who wish
for borax write for borracks, bowrux, bow
rax and bow wax. We get orders for Ar-
nold’s ‘blossom’ instead of balsam; Hall’s
hair ‘manure’ instead of renewer; and Bur-
nett’s ‘cocarine’ instead of cocoaine. Cus-
tomers who want lovage write for love itch.
Those who desire liquorice write for Juck-
rich, logrish and stickrish. Here isa wo-
man wpe wants five cents worth of cologne
to smell a trunk. Another asks for a mix-
ture which shall be two-thirds acohol and
two-thirds castor-oil. This one wants
something to make eatnip tea from, and
the other asks for ten cents worth of Mary
attic acid.

The Michigan Tradesma.

The Sawmill’s Song.

 

 

J. Edgar Jones in Inter-Ocean,

With tireless voice and fiery breath—
Intoning labor’s song—
i bare the hearts of forest pines;
My steel arms, swift and strong,
Move tireless blades which, to and fro,
Through fragrant timber come and go.

In constant streams the giant pines
Are clutched within my grasp;

My metal servants, swift and true,
Their mighty bodies clasp,

Then. held in iron paws, they feel

The thrusts of my swift, flashing steel.

Fast whirling, like revolving light,
The saw goes ’round and ’round,
And buzz like swarms of giant bees

Where wheels and shafts resound,
In chorus with the clash and clangs
Of modern toil’s obedient “gangs.”

All day, all night, the giants come
From forests far and near,
And march in files, brown, dark and dun—
Emerging clean and clear—
In ranks of purest white and gold,
Increased in worth a hundred fold.

High up aloft, in carvan wreaths

My smoky banners tly;
While tongues of flame from lofty towers
' Glow redly in the sky,
Or paint the clouds w ith crimson light,
Retiected by the waves at night.

The fragrant product of my toil—
My busy wheels and bands—

Is borne by white-winged ships and streams
To distant treeless lands,

To rise again in cottage homes,

Or lofty piles with stately domes.

And 60, untiring, still I toil,
Converting into gold

The trees ordained to be my spoil
Through days and years untold;

Obeying still, as best 1 can,

The mandate of my masier, Man.

So shall resound through passing years
The tune of busy mills,

Their labor chorus echoed from
Pine-plumed, encireling hills;

Industrial anthems, grand and strong.

Led by the deep-lunged saw-mill’s song.

Was It a Warning or a Dream.

DrAR OLD Boy: You must come up on
the 4 o’clock train Saturday, and stay over
until Monday. We have some old friends
of yours at the house, but won’t mention
their names, as we think it will bea delight-
ful surprise. As ever, yours, TRACY

When a man is between 21 and 25 he will
go to many inconveniences to have a pleas-
ant time, and this letter at once settled the
question where I was to spend the coming
Sunday.

Saturday afternoon found me, valise
hand, trudging to the depot, smiling
blandly on aequaintances as if my horse had
won in the last race. Any one who has
visited the Eastern States during the month
of September can appreciate the exhiliarat-
ing effect of the clear atmosphere, the
bright coloring of the leaves and the beauty
of the hills and dales, as the pufling engine
whirls you through, by and beyond, at a
speed only excelled by the Flying Duteh-
man. The ride seemed only too short,
when the brakeman, poking his head into
the doorway, yelled out a name that, had
we not been familiar with the locality,
we would have thought it some place in
Southern China. Then came the picking
up of luggage, the pushing forward to the
platform, the spring to the station steps,
the warm grasp of the hand, and the wel-
come, ‘*How are you, old boy?” and the
echo, *‘How are you, Tracy?” making me
fee] I had left business and cares behind,
and was willing to face the coming  pleas-
ures with the courage of a Trojan.

“Tracy, who it you have
house?”

**Never you mind, old fellow; you couldn’t
guess if you tried a year.”

“If that is so, yowll excuse my guess-
ing.”

Then, shaking the lines over the horses,
away we went, fairly skimming over the
hard road, the bright bays shaking their
heads, snorting and prancing as if they, too,
felt the joy of the man who was let out of
the bondage of a great city. The road
from the lodge to the house was so embow-
ered in shrubbery that no one could be seen
until you dashed around the sharp turn and
were directly upon them.

There were the jolliest of greetings, pleas-
ant words and jests, when, suddenly obey-
ing an impulse, I turned.

“My God! Is it you, Josie?”

She, as pale as myself, with eyes that
seemed to grow luminous with excitement
—‘Ttis. And what are you doing here?”

Recovering myself, I said: ‘‘This seems
a pretty hard question to ask a man who
has accepted the invitation of mutual
friends, and was looking forward to the
happiest of times.”

‘Does it make you unhappy that I am
*here?”

“No, not that—only surprised. You
know, Josie, when we were together last?”

] this was said so quickly that none of
our friends had time to notice our white
faces and startled manner. Placing her
finger on her lip, 1 understood and said no
more.

Three years before, the last time I had
seen her, we were standing on the vine-
covered veranda of her home, when,  step-
ping forward, I slipped my arm around her,
and, kissing her, said, ‘‘Good bye, Josie,”
and, with a merry laugh, sprang away with
the activity of youth, so as to avoid a boxed
ear: then I kissed my hand to her from
the foot of the steps, while she stood above
me, a beautiful picture, blushing rosy red,
half vexed, but smiling her farewell.

By dinner-time I had recovered my self-
possession, and gave the family all the gos-
sip of the day; told them who were married,
who had bolted, what was the latest craze,
and a thousand and one things that are so
appreciated at a country mansion during the
summer time.

Dinner over, and excusing myself to the
boys, I found Josie waiting for me in the
library. Slipping her arm into mine, with-

out a word, we wandered out into the beau-

‘tiful moonlight, to the foot of the garden,

and entered the old summer-house, around
which gurgled a rippling stream that made
the still night full of itsown music. Then,
turning, I asked:

“Josie, why did you do it?”

The question was hardly out of my mouth
before I regretted it, for, turning a look
upon me full of anguish, and bursting into
tears, she sobbed out:

“After you left that night, the person that
father married, who had always been cruel
and vindictive and shown her dislike for
the children belonging to the first wife,
spoke to me in such a coarse, vulgar way,
that it roused all the vicious instincts of my
nature, and our words were bitter and loud.
She left me so broken down and miserably
unhappy, that when John showed his sorrow
for me, and tried to comfort me, and asked
me to be his wife on that night, I said yes,
thankful for any chance to get away, and,
rushing to my room, I packed up my few
jewels, took my bonnet and left the house,
to be his wife. I should not have married
him, for I do not love him, and I am so un-
happy, Iam so unhappy.”

What man is there who would not let his
heart go out in sympathy and consolation
to such a beautiful, suffering woman beside
him? Then, with the wisdom and affection
which are only gotten of respect, I went
over her married life step by step, advising
care and devotion on her part, which would,
after a short time make the husband happier
and herself contented by reflection. For it
is a truism, ‘“*The world is but a looking-
glass.” As we look at it, so it reflects us.
From the association of the past we soon
accepted the present, and re-entered the
house, true friends of the future, she with
new courage, and determination to meet
with what was to be, and I with the sweet
consciousness of having helped her.

A. few days after my return home I was
bothered and worried, and one evening,
after retiring to bed at an unusually early
hour, fell into an uneasy, fitful state, and
was continually borne down with an im-
pression of impending evil. At last, lost in
utter oblivion, I seemed to be, although my-
self, still a speetator of what was occurring.
It seemed to bea large room, sparely fur-
nished, into which two doorways _ led.
While seated at my desk working, one of
the doors opened, and Josie entered,
tears and greatly distressed. Turning to
her in my sympathy, I took her in my arms,
and, putting her head on my shoulder, I
talked to and supported her as I would a
tired child. As she was regaining her com-
posure, the other door stealthily opened, and
a man I had never seen before glided in,
his two eyes glittering like those of a fiend,
and his face convulsed with passion. <Al-
though her back was toward him, she knew
instinctively it was her husband.

me to help her, and ‘Do not let him kill

out ability to move or speak, but could see |

that he had in his hand an immense pair of
shears, which were hidden from her sight.
Obeying a movement of his hand to come to
him, she walked backward, looking at me,
her arms extended pleadingly for the help I
could not give. Seizing her by the arm, he
turned her around, and, opening and put-
ting the shears to her neck, he pressed one
of the blades in, then, closing the shears,
cut her throat.

With a yell of horror I sprang from my
bed and did not close my eyes again that
night. The next morning, while standing
in front of the office, and happening to
glance up the street, I saw approaching the

very man [had seen in my dream of the
night before, and with him an intimate

friend of mine. It was a trying moment;
all my blood seemed to turn to ice, and in-
stinctively I grasped a hatchet that was near
to me, and then waited, without the move-
ment of a muscle for their approach and
what might come. When within speaking
distance, my friend said, “I want you to
know this gentleman; he is the husband of
your old friend, Josie.”

‘‘Let me thank you for your kindness and!
true friendship to her, your friend and my |
wife.”

The Original Corset.

dream?

nermemenenygoe insite

It is said that the corset was not unknown
to Rome, but it is clear that the Greek and
Roman women, as a whole, were quite con-
vinced that the human form was itself beau-
tiful, so they made no attempt to disfigure
it by compression or addition. Young girls
were simply dressed, chastely and yet ele-
gantly, in the flowing stola, slightly open
at the throat, and occasionally falling in two
sets of folds. On the eve of marriage, they
were clad in a white robe called the regilla.
After that event, they wore the girdle,
which the Roman matrons generally placed
immediately below the bosom. Sometimes
it was a band, and at other times a cord tied
in a bow. Among the Greeks, the girdle
was often placed lower down; occasionally
the stola was bound about the bosom by a
band, passing over the right shoulder and
under the left breast. This gave the right
arm liberty for action, and it was only for
this object, or for quick motion, that the
waist-cord ever seems to have been drawn
very tight. So little did the Greek and Ro-
man women think of the waist, that in
great numbers of draped statues, their man-
tles are so arranged as to hide it altogether.
