Years, with their summers and winters, their joys and sorrows, have passed away, since the good ship ‘“‘Andy,” her long and wearying voyage over, cast anchor in one of the extensive bays of Southern Africa. How eagerly and anxiously her many passengers looked across the belt of heaving waters to- ward the land, which, low at first, gradual- ly rose into ranges of lofty hills, stretehing far into the distance. Most of them had crossed the ocean and bidden adieu to their kindred, in the hope of finding, amid its secluded valleys, some ‘‘forest sanctuary,” where the bonds of the world that had hith- erto chafed them might not be felt and their efforts at earning a livelihood for them- selves and children be more easity reward- ed. Foremost among them stood aman whose appearance and bearing bespoke him as one fitted to cope, and successfully, with the world, in whatever phase it might present itself. But it was not so; and Henry John- son, despite years of unwearying effort, now stood gazing on the shores of the far south, a world-worn and almost penniless man, and one whose spirit was embittered and his heart hardened, by seeing others, whom he deemed less worthy, victors in the arena where he could achieve nothing. While he thus stood pondering, with con- tracted brow, on what might be the result of this last decisive step of immigration, a clear, childish voice by his side exclaimed, ‘Let me see, father.” Immediately the stern expression passed away, and with a bright smile he raised the little girl to where she might easily look over the bulwark. Henry Johnson was devotedly attached to his wife and family; but dearer than all was his little fairy Kate, as fair and beauti- ful a child as_ the eye need wish to rest up- on, with soft, dark earnest eyes, looking forth from among her clustering curls as tbough the misfortunes of her parents had dispelled the joyous beams of childhood, and awakened her already to the realities of life, and a sweet smile playing upon her rosy childish lips, as if, in the buoyancy of her innocent spirit, hoping and trusting in a brighter future. And the child’s trust seemed not mis- placed, for brighter days soon began to dawn upon them. Henry Johnson purchased a small trader's store in Pretoria, in the Transvaal, paying for a portion of the stock only. But time and perseverence carried him on, and in the course of a few years was quite prosperous. And for a while Henry Johnson was a happy and contented man; his loved ones were growing up aronnd him, beautiful and joyous, and the humble competence he had once sighed for was theirs. Butit sufficed not long. With prosperity, loftier ideas awoke in his breast. He would deam of the proud future. that—could his wishes be real- ized—might be in store for his promising sons and beautiful daughters, in some high- er sphere; and how, in years to come, they might re-visit their fatherland and look scornfully down on those who, in former days, had despised himself! Occupied with such visions, discontent began to take possession of his heart. It would be years—many years—ere by his little store he could hope to obtain such re- sults. Of the many objects man pursues with avidity, gold is not the one that most fre- quently eludes him, for there are many ways in which it can be obtained. Andone of these presented itself to Johnson. Riding, one day, with a neighbor into Heidelberg, on their way they passed an ex- tensive and beautiful farm, and on a rising ground saw a large, well-built house peep- ing from among the trees. Johnson com- mented upoh the beauty of the €cene. “Its owner’s name is Massey,” said his companion, .*‘some twenty years ago he was no better off than you or I.” ‘*How did he make his money?” demand- ed Johnson. “Trading among the, Zulus.” A Zulu trader! It was singular that had never occurred to him, though he was aware that large fortunes had been made, were being made, by taking into Zululand §arti- cles manufactured in England and trading with the Zulus for ivory, skins, ete. _ The business at Pretoria had so much im- proved Johnson’s circumstances, that there was no difficulty in carrying out his new scheme; and a very short time saw him de- part into Zululand with two wagons heavi- ly loaded, his two trusty drivers, and two boys, on the first of many journeys that | brought more wealth beneath his roof than it had ever covered before. For two or three years he carried on this Everything seemed to prosper, centive to: exertion, Johnson’ ‘started on an- other | expedition into Zululand. He had gained the territories of a chief called Kuku, ered by his beautiful Kate. der; I will not give it, but I will give you ten times as much for black.” He stopped abruptly, and fixed his bright eyes on Johnson as though eager to discover if his meaning was understoed, and how his proposition was received. The trader turned aside as if he heard it not. Nevertheless, it was both heard and comprehended. So the quick-witted Zulu suspected, and he resumed: “Yes, I would give much ivory, white as the snow on yonder mountains; many skins, many horns, to him who brings me the black powder and the sticks that throw lead. His wagons will be so heavy his ox- en scarce can draw them away, and he will never need to cross the rivers any more, but may sit in the sun before his kraal, and make his women hoe his corn.” Still Johnson answered not, but the Zu- lu’s words struck a wild chord in his heart. Could he but. bring himself to do the chief’s bidding, the gold over whose tardy coming hefhad so lately sighed would at once be his. His children would be no longer com- pelled to live in a savage land and his dar- ling Kate, over whose welfare he gave more than an ordinary father’s anxiety, might shine in the society for which she was so eminently qualified. But he shrank from the means by which these objects might so easily be attained; for, by carrying powder and arms across the border—save for his own protection—he would break the laws of the land wherein he had prospered and been blessed. He had been eager in his haste for gold; he had bought cheap and sold dear, and he had exacted from everyone the ut- most possible profit; but he had broken no law, and shrank from so doing. He bade the temptation flee, but it would not. The spirit of gain was upon him, and entered in- tothis plan. It haunted him day and night, and sked a golden hue on the wrong-doing. Once more he was preparing for another journey to Zululand. At length the day came for his departure. ‘“‘Let me see your cheeks brighter on my return,” he said, as he kissed Kate fondly and was taking his leave. ‘‘Don’t you know I mean to make you a lady?” ‘*T have no wish to be a lady, father,” she said, with a smile; ‘‘if I can only do what is right asI am, it will suffice my ambition.” ‘“‘Tush, girl; you don’t know what you say,” replied her father, hastily. ‘‘Erelong my beautiful Kate will be rich.” Kate sighed, as though she had no such dreams; but her father did not hear it—he was already watching the departure of the wagons, for whose safety he seemed more anxiousthan usual. Little did those around suspect they contained a secret whose dis- covery would be the owner’s ruin. He had not been able to withstand the temptation. The speculatio turned out even better than Johnson had ventured to hope. The guns and ammunition arrived unsuspected at the kraal of Kuku, and in the joy of his heart at obtaining such forbidden treasures, the old chief was liberal far beyond what the trader had expected. The finest ivory and the mest valuable skins were‘given, al- most without limit, and Johnson departed from the kraal a far richer man than whe» he had entered it. “Tam now a happy and enviable man,- he reflected, as he mounted his horse. ‘‘I have lived to gain wealth.” And in his ex- ultation he did not think that to attain his end-he had offended the law and placed weapons iti the hands of savages. In the same spirit of self-congratulation he entered his home. There the sight of Kate, and her innocent trust of him, check- ed his gladness for a moment, but he quick- ly put down his conscience. He told his family he had been more than usually suc- cessful, but nothing more. And now, Johnson had resolved on relin- quishing the trade by which he had gained so much and make preparations for return- ing to his native country. But before this could be done, he must dispose of his prop- erty; and with that end in view he again left home for Heidelberg, where he knew he could find a liberal purchaser. He was on his return from Heidelberg. He was happy, for he had again prospered and made an advantageous transfer of his property. And, as he rode along, his thoughts wandered into the future, ‘where he saw no harder toil for his children than gathering flowers in the bright sunshine of the world, and the fairest would be gath- At length he returned to the present. Absorbed in these bright thoughts, he had not watched the way, and had strayed far from the right road. Farther on, however, was a path that led from another direction to his home. The sun was sinking low in the heavens as he cantered over the flat beyond whose farther edge he lived, and in the coolness of approaching dusk all the inhabitants of the wilds seemed arousing to life and activity. The birds were flitting among the trees, the insects floated in the gloom and the very air seemed teeming with life. He approached the edge of the ‘declivity and his home lay He stopped. abruptly, and | su burst upon him, rode rapidly down. the hill. : The cottage, around whose inmates he had but now been raising such fairy struc- tures, was no longer visible, and where it had stood a column of gray smoke was curl- ing upward, telling a tale of ruin, but of what extent as yet he knew not, although \ he was gazing on his vanished home and — standing beside the spot which was once his hearth. There was none by totellhimif — the beloved ones by whom it had been shared had escaped, or if he now looked on their funeral pyre. He gazed hurriedly and anx- iously around. A person riding rapidly down the hill met his eye, and he sprang towards him. Tt was his oldest son. He was ashy.pale, and his hand trembled as he gave it to his father in silence. “My wife—my children?” groaned John- son, in a tremulous voice. Still the boy was silent, but he drew away: his hand, and covering his face with both, sank upon the grass in anguish he could no longer control. ‘“My darlings! my precious ones! Has it come to this?” exclaimed the bereaved man, wringing his hands inagony. ‘‘Are you all taken from me—you for whom I toiled— you for whom I even sinned? Tell me, my boy, tell me the truth! ” And the boy told him, between his sobs, the tale of having gone to a neighbor’s farm and losing his way prevented his reaching home sooner, and the two servants who had escaped, one had gone along the Heidelberg road in search of him, while the other had hurried off to Blume’s farm, to tell of how the Zulus had burst upon them at dead of night, and how they two had fled in the darkness, and under cover of the trees had witnessed the fierce savages deal death to all around, and had even seen the beautiful Kate—her father’s pride—shot by a tall Zu-_ lu, while she was making an attempt to save: her mother. And then the trader’s vast stores of ivory and skins were raided and: his cattle driven off; and, finally, firing the- house, the murderers departed, carrying. their plunder with them. ‘‘Who was the Zulu chief that has so be-. reft me?” exclaimed Johnson, breathlessly. “I don’t know—I never thought to ask,” replied the boy. ‘‘But here is something, that may tell, perhaps,” and he lifted a new rifle from among thelong grass where it had. lain hidden. .**My sin has overtaken me!” cried the- wretched man. ‘“‘It is one of the guns L sold to Kuku! Oh, I am well punished! My children, it is your father who is your murderer! ” The Zulu chief had resolved to regain possession of the valuable goods he had traded for the weapons and had thus accom- plished his purpose. The violence of Johnson’s self-upbraid- ings did not serve to allay the anguish of his soul. He wandered away, no one knew where, a sad and solitary man, with the ghost of his own evil forever haunting him. RELLUF. mmensity of the Clothing Business. *‘An extensive wholesale clothing estab- lishment must be conducted with the great- est skill and economy in the management. of every department,” says a manufacturer engaged in that line of trade. ‘‘The cloths are bought months before the season when they are to be worn, in order to give time to make them up. The cloths are to be cut, the buttons, thread, linings, ete., are to be supplied and a careful account in every department must be kept before the work is given. out. The large houses employ superior cutters, and the workmen and workwomen generally use sewing ma- chines, which their wages enable them to. hire or to pay for in small weekly or month- ly installments. As the cloth is bought: long before it returns to the clothier in gar-. ments, and as his goods are sold sometimes. on credits of several months, the business. requires a large capital, and a large amount. of money is needed for the weekly payment of the hands. In New York, thousands of* _people work for the clothiers, and, besides, many garments are cut here and sent to. — workwomen throughout the country, who. make the clothes and return them. Thus,. in addition to the vast amount of work fur-- nished to those immediately employed in and near the city establishments, the cloth- iers supply the means of livelihood to thousands of farmers and laborers’ wives. and daughters in the interior towns andi other centers with which communication is frequent and easy by railroad.” a ea The Sequence of the Craze for Cheapness. Dr. Lueas in Druggists’ Circular. If every druggist and physician were strictly honest, many of the evils complain- ed of would not exist. If the public would, or could, always exercise a just sense of diserimination, merit and honesty would re- ceive their reward. But unfortunately this craze for cheapness and want of discrimina- tion lowers the standard, and the honest man, as a matter of self-preservation, is _ forced to fall—imperceptibly at first—into seh The a groove that tends only to dishonor. consumer, the public, inevitably falls into a pit mostly made by its own hands. The doctor of to-day acknowledges his weakness by the confusion he creates, Sim- ~ plicity of methods in the practice of medi- cine brings the greatest. success. The mol- - tiplicity of remedies and the craze for some- - thing new to reach.the unattainable only ends in disastrous experimentation. It is a fraud for a physician to at off on the un- AL CORRESPONDENCE. | k, Oct. 24—One of: the first gs a Western man will notice in New -is the almost entire absence of the dollars with which the West is No matter where you go for o the depot, hotel, theater or store 2 invariably given paper money, in- of silver, as is the case in the West. I -aleading business man how it was that New York people had been able to avoid the silver deluge which reached us three or four years ago and seems to be increasing instead of receding. The person interrogated set me at rest with the state- ment that the condition enquired about was - due to an understanding on the part of the _ New York banks that all silver was. to be . sent West and all paper money kept in cir- ‘culation at home. - I have frequently noted the high price - eommanded by tne stock of the Chemical _. National Bank and wondered how it could be possible that a share of bank stock which cost one hundred dollars could be sold for ‘thirty times that amount. Happening in at the Stock Exchange to-day, I had the good luck to see several shares change hands. “Three shares sold at 2815, twelve shares * at 2802, one share at 2805 and one share at - 9812. These are very high quotations, but - not as high as a year and a half or more ago. In the fall of 1885 and spring of 1886, the stock sold from 3200 to 3400, having been bid up by H.S. Ives. Some people thought that he was trying to get control of the bank, but if that was really his object he made a very poor success of it, for he “accumulated only 85 shares. The Chemical 4s not only the highest priced stock dealt in at the Exchange, but it also pays the larg- est percentage of dividends. The institu- tion divides 15 per cent. every two montis “.and 10 per cent. extra at the end of the year. The capital is $300,000, the surplus $5,000,000 and the other profits $270,000. 1t will be seen from these figures that the stock is selling above the book value, but the great prestige of the bank, its constant additions to surplus and the chance of some remarkable division of this accumulation account for it. Next to the Chemical comes the First National which pays 10 per cent. quarterly and occasionally an. extra divi- dend. This stock is held by very few parties and 1600 is bid for it at the Board, but outside probably 2000 could be obtained. The capital is $500,000, the surplus $5,000,- 000, and the undivided profits $430,721. The next highest priced stock is the Fifth - avenue, for which 800 is bid. This bank pays no dividends, but has accumulated a large surplus, which gives the stock its value. II is one of the uptown institutions and, like a number of others, has been a _ great success. + Lam told by a gentleman who knows whereof he speaks that the banks of New York have been prospering for some time = -—past and, generally speaking, are im a very strong condition. This, coupled with the handsome dividends paid by most of them, has caused am increased demand for bank stock and transactions in this line have been very active of late. The editor of the Produce Exchange Bulletin, who. stands. in the position of oracle to the butterine business of the coun- try, tells me that the oleo men will not seek - to secure the repeal of the oleomargarine law at the coming session of Congress. 4 . They will, however, ask that the license re- a. of a wholesaler bé reduced from . $480 to $48 and the retailer’s license by re- ag duced from $48 to $4.80; also that the ~ quantity a retailer may sell to one purchaser . be increased from 10 to 50 pounds. My in- formant tells me that the manufacturer - does not murmur at the license he is com- pelled to pay under the present law and that the tax, with the affixed stamp, gives the article the approval of the Government, so far as purity and wholesomeness is con- present writing it looks as though the trust” would soon be a thing of the past.

In manu- facturing lines peculiar to the grocery trade, the city is fairly well ‘represented, and it must be a source of great regret to Phila- delphia grocers that the — trade is not on a better footing. Pittsburg, Oct. 28—If ever a city exactly answered the description of a manufactur- ing community given by Charles Reade in the preface to his ‘“‘Put Yourself in His Place,” it is Pittsburg. With a cloud of smoke above the city and the clamor of pon- derous machinery which scarcely ever ceas- es operation except for the Sabbath day, the effect on the stranger is little less than bewildering. If to this be added the glamor and reflection of natural gas lights at night, the stranger has little difficulty in imagining himself in pandemonium. Happening in on Dilworth Brothers, the extensive coffee roasters and wholesale gro- cers, I was asked by a member of the firm to lunch with them in their store, an invita- tion I gladly accepted. I was surprised to find a well-equipped culinary department, comprising dining room and kitchen, pre- sided over by an experienced colored cook and waiter. All the clerical force and the heads of the various departments are fur- nished their dinners by the firm and the presence of customers of the house at the well-filled board is by no means an uncom- mon occurrence. While such generosity on the part of the firm is probably an indirect advantage by saving to them the time _us- ually spent in going to and from lunch, my own observation leads me to the opinion that the house adopted such an expedient from praiseworthy motives and that the ex- tra expense involved is returned to them many times over in the increased esteem of their employes. E. A. S. THE KEYSTONE CONVENTION. The second annual meeting ef the Penn- sylvania Retail Merchants’ Association, which was held at Philadelphia last week, was a marked improvement over the preced- ing conventions of the organization, both in point of attendance and interest. The of- ficers prepared an unusually complete pro- gramme, which was carried out very nearly as originally intended, and the Entertain- ment Committee of the Philadelphia Retail Grocers’ Association prepared and carried out an entertainment programme which sur- passed anything of the kind previously at- tempted in the Keystone State. Of the work accomplished by the conven- tion, THE TRADESMAN hopes to speak in detail from week to week. The papers were uniformly good, the reports generally excellent and the proceedings were marked with a degree of earnestness and dignity befitting the occasion. While Michigan 1s in advance of her sister State in some re- spects, there are other features in which the example of Pennsylvania may be profitably followed. It willbe theaim of THk TRADES- MAN to point out these features, in connec-. tion with suitable comments thereon, witha view to acquainting Michigan business men with the best methods known to the adyo- cates of organization elsewhere. Toledo is about to have a fit representa- tive of her commercial interests in the shape of a semi-monthly publication, to be known as the Business World. The new journal will comprise 32 pages and cover and will be issued about the 15th of the present month. -The founder and editor is J. B. Battelle, formerly Collector of Customs at Toledo and for several years the editor and proprietor of the Toledo Telegram. The new venture starts under favorable auspices in a promising field and Tor TRADESMAN wishes it success. Professor Blow predicts that the propor- tion of gold in the bullion output of the Leadville district, beginning with the pres- ent year, will steadily increase, and that the total for 1887 will astonish those who have failed to keep posted on the mineral devel- opment and changes in the bonanza region. It is to be feared that the professor’s name is prophetic of results. For a good while “before the grand out- burst of the i#rench revolution in the last century the crowds of hungry people of France flocked into Paris and behaved them- | _ selves in the same way that now charagter- ize the horde of hungry wretches in Lon-| : mn. Itis one of the symptoms of the con- | dition of a people breaking away from all|- don. With excellent opportunities for ‘Doy tas eee in the grocery The stock was oud chased at this market. a C. A.

The Eaton & Christenson Cigar Co., which was started at Lincoln, Neb., a cou- ple of years agoas abranch of the Grand Rapids house, was closed out. on the occa- sion of Mr. Eaton’s visit there, about two weeks ago. The stock was sold to W. J. Price, who will continue the business under his own name. The accounts are in the hands of John Shirts for collection and set- tlement. Amos S. Musselman, as trustee for Amos S. Musselman & Co., A. C. McGraw & Co. and Burnham, Stoepel & Co., held a mort- gage on the general stock of Fogg & High- tower, at Ferry, the flouring mill of Powers Bros., and the lumber mill of Hightower Bros. & Powers Bros. The mortgage was foreclosed and the sale advertised to take place last Tuesday. Musselman was on hand with a prospective purchaser, but Hart creditors secured a preliminary restraining injunction, which Judge Russell granted without requiring the usual indemnifying bonds. It is thought at this end of the line that Judge Russell will not make the in- junction permanent, in which case the sale of the property will be consummated. Eaton & Christenson, who have conduct- ed the jobbing of cigars and confectionery and the manufacture and jobbing of crack- ers at this market for several years past, made an assignment last Tuesday to Geo. N. Davis. Previous to assigning, they exe- cuted a mortgage to Geo. N. Davis for $3,500, to secure endorsements at the Old National Bank and a bill of sale to the Old National Bank for a considera- tion of $1, to secure that institution for ad- vances made. The assets comprise about $10,000 worth of stock, $10,000 worth of cracker factory, and book accounts amount- ing to about $40,000, on which only about 50 cents on the dollar will probably be real- ized. The liabilities will probably exceed $60,000, the largest creditor being the Amer- ican Cigar Co., of Coldwater, which is inter- ested in the estate to the extent of $14,000. The failure has a bad look on the face of it, but Mr. Eaton asserts that he will be able to set himself aright before the business community as soon as the opportunity pre- sents itself.

WALLPAPER & WINDOW SHADES House and Store Shades Made to Order, -. Elisha : of the collection Sete to the educative influ- ‘ sociation’s work, he said: The influence of Association work is edu- -eative. No one can attend and take part in _ the work without being benefited. Thought ‘ and the mind broadened and é gthened thereby. In order that mem- bers should be better fitted to take part in _. discussion, one or more good trade papers _ should be taken and read. But little pro- "gress can be made by those who do not be- _come readers as-well as active workers in the Association. It is a means of education superior to the school-room and debating society, just as actual business is superior to theoretical business training. These facts are beginning to be appreciated already and will soon become apparent to all observers. _ ‘To this we may add the education acquired by using the trade press to your personal advantage. Writing fora paper isa mode. of self-improvement not generally apprecia- ted except by a few who have tried it for that purpose. Our official paper gives spec- ial advantages to the members of local asso- eiations; hence, I would recommend such, especially, to our members. I might here say, as a matter of justice to our official pa- per, that it has been the means of placing Pennsylvania in the frontranks to-day, just as the official papers of New York, Michi- gan and the New England States have done for their States. The benefits, finally, to the publishers so far bear no comparison to the benefits they have contributed to the’ retail trade. Until members all: take their official paper and read it, they will not appreciate the facts I have here set forth. The man who confes- ses that he reads no trade paper, is a wit- ness to his own unfitness to be ranked among those who are engaged in elevating the trade. The President recommended that further legislation be secured to control peddling and the sale of prize goods; that measures be devised to secure inter-state co-operation in the collection ‘system, roll of honor and fraternal features; that a delegate be sent to the conventions of the Michigan and New. York State Associations; that delegates be sent to the pure food convention; that a State Roll of Honor be formulated: that a uniform system of credit: be devised; that.a state organizer be constituted; that a badge be designed as the emblem of the: Associa- tion. The President thanked the officers and members of the Association for the encour- agement and support extended him in the discharge of his duties, and bespoke a con- tinuance of the same. The balance of the morning session and the entire time of the afternoon session was devoted to the reports of delegates from the . local Associations. The reports were uni- formly favorable, showing much activity in many cases. The Pennsylvania associa- tions take a somewhat different scope than the Michigan organizations. The delinquent feature is paramount in importance, as in Michigan, and the suppression of the ped- dler seems to be the next in order. Early closing and the cultivation of a feeling of fraternity also play important parts. The public improvement feature, as advocated in Michigan, is not known to the Pennsyl- vania associations. But one association in the State has taken up the regulation of prices—Philadelphia—where a profit of one cent a pound is regularly maintained on granulated sugar. The question of whether a man whoowes an outlawed account should be considered a delinquent and refused credit on that ac- count, provoked an animated discussion, which culminated in the postponement of the subject for a day. The Secretary presented his report on a State Roll of Honor, recommending that such a work be entered into. The report was referred to the Committee on Resolu- tions. An amendment to the constitution, rais- ing the price of charters from $5 to $10, was postponed until the next meeting. . Papers were read as follows: “A Bureau of Information,” KR. C. Dalzell, Pittsburg; ‘The Present Freight Clas- sification,” J. C. O’Donnell, Pittsburg; ‘*The Horse Insurance Fund,” Wm. Glas- gow, Philadelphia; “Crediting Delin- quents,” S. B. Charters, Pittsburg; ‘‘The Education of the Trade,” Jos. Smedley, Philadelphia; ‘‘Honorary Membership,” W. J. Sharpless, McKeesport; ‘‘Should There Be aState Organizer?” T. J. Oliver, Phil- adelphia; ‘‘How Can the Peddler Be Abated?” B. F. Jarrett, Philadelphia. President Harbaugh stated that at the’ first convention of the Association there were twenty-one delegates present; that at the.second convention there were sixty-five delegates, whereas the present convention comprises 130 delegates. | This announce- ment was greeted -with applause. The Association declared itself in favor of horse insurance, and recommended the plan presented in the paper of Mr. Glasgow to the consideration of auxiliary associations. At the opening of the second day’s session the following- papers were read: “An ternational Roll ef Honor,” inter, New York; “Selling Goods on Sunday,” W. H. Tumbleston, Philadel- phia; ‘Guaranteed Sanitary Condition, Weight, ea, Measure, Tare and Uni- formity of . Eber James, Chester. ‘On motion of Percy F.

In the evening a banquet was tendered the delegates and invited guests by the Philadelphia Retail Grocers’ Association and on the day following the same organization gave their visitors a delightful ride on the Delaware River. a The Drummer to His Grip. Full many a weary, mile old Grip, We've traveled o’er together, Both in sunshine and the storm— In every kind of weather. How many hours you’ve waited, Grip, Alone in some hotel, While I was:selling piles of goods, Or “getting scooped” like——well. I never was profane, old Grip, You never heard me swear— Not even when that bottle broke, And I’d no shirt vo wear. How often you've “held down the seat,’’ You darling, dear old Grip, . While I went to the smoking car With friends to take a sn——smoke. I’ve trusted you with secrets, Grip, In fact, you hold some now, Which, were they known to folks at home, Would raise an awful row. You’ve kept my secrets well, old Grip, At home and “‘on the road.” Though scores and seores of times, oldfriend, You've carried a “heavy load.”’ You’ve seen me shed some tears, old Grip, When no one else was nigh, And often tried to comfort me With drinks of good old rye. We’ve seen some hard times, too, old Grip— Like me, you’ve stood abuse; Sometimes, like me, you’ve empty been, And sometimes ‘‘fuller’n a goose.”’ Yet, I neversaw the time, Grip, When you were really drunk, Though often times I’ve had to “preach” To our old “sample trunk.’ We’re gray-haired rusty chaps, old Grip, And don’t look very fine: The ladies never notice us, As when we used tc shine. You know the reason too, old Grip— They know the we: id we’ye seen; So they ‘‘vatch on” o fiewer grips And traveling me 1in green. Oh, well, we’ve secn the time, Grip, Whene’er we left the train, It was to leave some gentie heart Just fluttering with pain. And you could tell of loans Grip, And faces, sweet and fair, Which I have left day after day In your most sacred care. Well, we are aged now, old Grip— I'm forty-nine’ you’re seven; Soon you’ll be laid upon the shelf, Re I—sailing off toward heaven. But we will stick together, Grip, The longest that we can, For, next to woman, there’ 8 no friend Like Grip to a traveling man. _—_— Oe -O Purely Personal. O. A.

Bill Nye is out with a lecture on ‘The New South,” in which he makes the follow- ing reference to the dairy business: The butter there isn’t good. It is young, but powerful. They don’t work the butter enough, and they work the cows too much. If they would work the butter more and the cows less, it would please the people who have to partake of both. I used to be able to milk cows. There was one I used to milk before I was sent to the seminary. Then I came back, changed in appearance, with my camel’s hair mus- tache. The cow didn’t know me. If I re- member rightly she was a very haughty cow, with a low forehead, but she wore her tail high. JI addressed a commonplace remark to her as I went to milk her. I told her to ‘*so!” she soed. I told her to “hoist!” and she hoisted, but she overdid it. I heard a dull, sickening thud, and when my parents came out they found theirson. I asked them if the barn was still standing and if they got all the fragments. If I was cast on ‘‘The Blue Letter works an island with a companion and a cow, I|B would wait until my companion would die, and then chloroform the cow and try to milk her. At present I buy my milk froma milkman. I trust him, and I would be sat- isfied if he would do the same by me. OO -O Good for Western Jobbers. From the Detroit Journal. A little law was pushed through the last, Congress limiting the jurisdiction of the United States courts to cases involving at least $2,000, exclusive of interest. first it struck people that this law would merely tend to reduce business inthe said courts and cut down the receipts of clerks and commissioners. It is now stated that the effiect has been to diminish the credit of Western dealers in the East, and conse-| Co quently to cut off much small dealing from East to West and throw itinto the hands of Western jobbers. This is because the Eastern merchant West for small sums, when necessary in the West has no recourse to the United States court where procedure is regular, business-like and easy; but must deal with circuit courts and under a differ- ent law in. every State. : Palo Organized.

When I had this talk ith my friend leck, Czar of Russia and General Division iperintendent of the Solar System and of Otsego county, I told him thatI ‘ouldn’t mention it when I got back to the States, but I value the intellectual advance- ment of the public more than I do the _ friendship of the Czar. 1 tell you, it makes me tired when I see my fellow men grop- _ ing with a pall of ignorance hanging over them like the shadow of a great crime and I want to do all I can to relieve them. It -qmakes me so dod gasted, infernally torrid to see a man go out of this store and walk ‘two miles and a half in the rain to find a store where they will take a Canadian two | dollar bill at par, when I was willing to \ ‘3 - about the store. take it at one per cent. discount. I recog- ‘nize this mental deficiency in the human xace, and I often weep and grow despon- dent, but with a superhuman effort I shake _ off this dejectedness and the result is that the air is immediately filled with rectangu- lar pieces of wisdom. But I monkey with the original topic. “J was in Russia a few years ago, and ~while there I noticed the manner in which » *the Russians conduct their mercantile af- “fairs. The principal productions of that -eountry are shining domes and Nihilists, the latter, however, having such a bulge on the market that it is not improbable; that they will be the chief product in the near future. There is a division of opinion samong people as to what part of the country is the best adapted for the Nihilist. The pre- vdiling belief is that the best place for an able-bodied chunk of nihilism is either a _six foot hole in the ground or the balmy meadows of Siberia. After years of care- ful study scientists have come to the con- clusion that a Nihilist thrives the best on ‘on tallow candles and revenge, the latter :served with or without dynimite. **The article which isin the largest de- ?mand in the retail store is the bomb. It is ‘sold in different sizes and comes cheaper in -dozen lots with the usual cash discount. You must not confound the bomb of Russia with the bum of America. The American article delightin the physical andintellec- 4ual calm which characterizes each of the twelve men who sit before a court and go to sleep while hearing evidence. But the bomb of Russia is brimful of restless ambition, is easily excited and when not in a perfect state of repose is prone to appear too everlastingly and overwhelm- ingly unanimous to win much of the admir- ation of those in the immediate vicinity. *‘The average store in the smaller places as a frame building covered with a coat of white wash and a mortgage. An air of megligence and garlic is a noticeable feature The shelving is rough and without paint, while here and there about the walls hang the usual display of adver- tisements. A picture of a life-slzed bomb in the act of disseminating told the public that-one cake of Celluloid Soap would last a family alife-time. Beneath this were the ‘beautiful words, ‘‘While there is dynamite ~ there is hope.” --was the request printed on another sign, “Chew American Tallow” avhich contained the delightful announce- aent that ‘‘The Czar is Dead. Bully for “‘Lige.” **When a customer comes in and gets ‘some goods and walks away saying that he . is busted the proprietor takes down a small bs gan of nitro-glycerine and drops it by the fellow with the remark that that is too thin and then the delivery boy sweeps out what - is left and calmly whistles ‘‘White Wings.” “Jt may be incidentally remarked that - #there-are‘no flies on a Russian store-keeper * or his outside man. die _. “The delivery boy always carries a pound ean of dynamite in his wagon.

His abrupt departure excited considerable surprise and comment among court circles, but it was not until it 88, 90 and 92 South Division Street, was announced in the trade journal that| — ! s MICH. there would be a family re-union of his anatomy, that it was fully realized the ex- tent of territory the old man was capable of covering without exerting himself. | From my earliest infancy I have been a res- ident of this country, though some histor- ians have given Omaha as my birthplace. The first two years of my life I spent in- doors and never during that time did I ex- change words with other members of our family. It fully three years before I became at all conversant with the Russian dialect, but now I can talk it with one hand - behind me.’ ” “Say, Dick Blumrich, do you think Iam going to sit here and have you jam such a lot of wind into my ears, well not if the court knows herself and I think she recog- nizes the photograph. ‘‘It tumed out just as I expected. When I want to give the public an idea of foreign places so that they won’t appear so dod gasted ignorant the only thanks I get for my trouble is to be classified with common, every day liars.

Were there no cohesiveness of the better elements of humanity, and every law-respecting and law-abiding per- son shut himself up like a clam in the shell of his own personal honor, morality and integrity, and left the conservation of Jaw, and order, and common decency entire- ly to those who are subsidized to protect society, itis very evident that, if he had few sins of commission, his sins of omis- sion would tip the balance heavily against him. * * * * The forgoing remarks are suggested by calling to mind a little experience of a Mich- igan merchant, many years ago. I will call his name Fairchild. When the numerous bank failures of ’73 began Fairchild was doing a prosperous business in a prosperous town, and had every reason for congratulat- ing himself on his financial situation. But the collapse of a heavy New York firm forced the local bank to a lengthy suspen- -~ sion, and as Fairchild had a heavy deposit, P which he was on the eve of the drawing out to pay maturing indebtedness, he suddenly found himself seriously crippled. As his principal, and only important creditor, however, was 2 New York firm, with whom he had transacted business for years, and who, naturally, ought to have implicit confidence in his honesty, and ulti- mate ability to adjust affairs, he had very dittle fears of asummary winding up of his trade. Thinking that a personal interview would be more satisfactory than correspondence, Fairchild hurried to the city and was at once closeted with the head of the house. A half-hour’s conversation, and the exhi- bition of a few documents fully convinced the wholesaler that a little time and tempo- rary assistence would enable his customer to meet his obligations fully, and he cheer- fully granted the wished for extension, and in addition invited him to lay in all the Stock he could use, and draw upon the firm for the amount due his other creditors, This important matter happily and satis- factorily settled.. Fairchild left the office for his hotel. It was a warm pleasant evening, and he walked slowly up the street, stopping fréquently to admire the various display of goods in the brilliantly dighted windows and contentedly puffing a fragrant gift from his late acquaintance. When nearly approaching his destination he passed before a jewelry story. Through the clear plate glass the whole of the mag- nificent interior glowed and sparkled under the gas jets and every object was distinctly ‘visible. Before a counter stood a handsome- __ dy dressed lady, looking at what was evident- Jy a tray of dlamond rings. Just at the moment when Fairchild caught sight of her the clerk’s head was turned for an instant, and the observer saw her, plainly and un- mistakeably, conceal. one of the jewels about her person. His first impulse was to _ pass on, but, as-he said afterwards, ‘‘I had always passed as a law-abiding and law- -Xespecting citizen, and I had always argued that it was every honest man’s duty to ex- a pose, and assist in the punishment of, any i fraud or crime that came to his knowledge. Here is a valuable piece of property stolen, and Iam the only witness. If 1 complain I shall undoubtedly have some trouble over the matter but, ueverless, ['m going to convince myself that I’m consistent, id. practice what I preach. And I went polite salesman came forward to wait “upon him, but without heeding his enquir- ing look that. suggested. a trading transac- , he wrote rapidly on the back of a found Moelven, in a police sta- ‘The justice who happened to be holding a late session of court, directed the searching of the prisioner by a female at- tendant, but the ring had disappeared, hay- ing, wilhout doubt, been thrown away. Aiter reviewing the testimony of the ae nesses the magistrate said: _ *‘Although the property has not been found there is unmistakable evidence that it was purloined. I shall hold the accnsed in one thousand dollar bonds, and, as this witness says that he is not a resident of the city, I shall require him to furnish security for the same amount, that he-will be pres- ent when the case is ready for trial.” The prisioner and witness were consigned to their respective cells; the former being released on bail in less than an hour. As the merchant who had, a few hours before, treated him so kindly and consider- ately was the only party in the city to whom he could reasonably appeal, the un- fortunate advocate of the duties of citizen- ship called for pen, ink and paper, and indited an epistle to that individual, care- fully detailing the situation in which he was placed, and minutely describing the causes that led to his incarceration. The next morning he received a letter in reply, couched in something like the following language: Srr—As the young lady whom you so vilely and causelessly accused of a henious crime is my neice, and a person absolutely incapable, by reason of birth, education and associations, of perpertating the offense which you charge to her, it would be mani- festly absurd and unreasonable for me to put in an appearance as your champion. I regret that your singular momania for detec- tive work has placed you in your present unpleasant condition, and before this affair is settled I am inclined to believe that you will also regret ever having left your rural home and bucolic associations, to indulge in amatuer police work. All that remains to be told is that the blue-blooded thief was discharged with an apology; that Fairchild, after ten days’ con- finement, was released, with a severe repre- mand, and that when he arrived at home he | found the sheriff in charge of his establish- ment. A ressurrection of his bank enabled him to save a portion of his property, but, in his own language: ‘‘I always estimated that my attempt to prove my consistency, to myself, cost me at least one-half of all I was worth at that time.” LUCIUS C.

It sticks to the vines and Finishes the whole crop of Potato Bugs with one applicaiion; also kills any Curculio, and the Cotton and Tobacco Worms. This is the only safe way: to use a Strong Poison; none of the Poison is in a clear state, but thoroughly combined by patent process and machinery, with material to help the very fine powder to stick to the vines and entice the bugs to eat it, and it is also a fertilizer. ONE POUND will go as far as TEN POUNDS of plaster and Paris Green as mixed by the farmers. It is therefore cheaper, and saves the trouble and danger of mixing and using the green, which, needless to say, is danger- ous to handle. Bug Finish was used the past season on the State Agricultural College Farm at Lansing, Michigan, and, in answer to inquiries, the managers write: ‘The Bug finish gave good satisfaction on garden and farm.”’ Many un- solicitated letters have been received prais- ing Bug Finish. Barlow & Star, hardware dealers at Coldwa- ter, Mich., write as follows under date oy May 14: ‘*‘We sold 8,100 pounds of “Bug Finish” ine year. Itis rightly named ‘‘Bug Finish,’ as it finishes the entire crop of bugs with one appli- catiod. We shall not be satisfied unless we sell three tons this year, as there is already a strong demand for it. Please send us ten bar- rels (3,000 pounds) at once.”’ Guaranteed as represented.

John Gould writes a cogent article on the above topic to the Farmer’s Review, from which we take the following extract: This season I have been revolving in my own mind whether or not there may not be a letting down somewhat of merit in butter, by the introduction of many features that we denominate discovery, progress and labor- saving. One is hearing onall sides that late- date butter does not equal in keeping quality that made years ago by the now somewhat discarded processes. Recent andsomewhat elose investigation seems to have thrown a jittle light upon this very point. The fancy butter of the day is made by the granular process, and ehurned ata lower temperature than by the old system. This granulation enables the butter to hold more water, and its close corporation in the fine butter in the form of brine escapes the maker’s observa- tion, and the butter goes into the market with from a third to a half more water in it than by the plan of working instead of washing the butter. Dr. Webber, State chemist of Ohio, found in the samples ana- lyzed by him, from 14 to 32 per cent. of wa- ter in market butter, when 12 to 14 percent. is ample and sufficient to hold in solution all the salt needed for the preservation (?) of the butter. This ‘‘perfection” of art leaves agap wide open for those so disposed to practice a big ‘‘dilution,” for water can hardly be held as an adulteration, but it makes weight, and so in the end defrauds. That Dr. Webber was not mistaken in the matter, one has but to recall the report of Dr. Babcock, of Cornell, in relation to the| @ butter at the New York Dairy Fair, where a sample of premium butter contained 21 per xent. of water, a fact that should not have been allowed to go unrebuked by the man- agement, for its influence is bad—a word that may in this connection be spelled with eapital letters. The creamery men are, I think, the most to blame in this business. To leave ineach 100 pounds of butter an mnnteded 6 to 10 per cent. of water is to de- fraud the consumer to a greater degree than tohave mixed in six to ten pounds of 6-cent lard, for the lard wou!d have a certain food value, while the salt and water would re- turn to the consumer no value received in any way, shape or form. This over-abundance of water in butteris no promoter of fine aroma. The excess of moisture in butter gives it a briny taste that is not in any sense a butter flavor; nor can any system of holding it bring it out, but, on the contrary, far too large a per cent. be- gins to deteriorate the quality at once, and must be eaten quickly, or it soon goes the the way of all bad butter. I ama strong believer that the dairymen make a bad mis- takein not trying more to equalize produc- tion, and obviate the necessity of holding batter to regulate the market demands; but _#n the other hand, I strongly denounce this ‘ Jater-day inrovation of selling water at but- ter prices. Granular butter, churned from Tipened cream, is the better way; butit does not imply that a fraud should not be prac- ticed under its guise, and I, for one, stand out and ask the same power that legislated against oleomargarine, to give us a standard for butter making, and say of every 100 paris sold for butter, so much shall be water. ‘salt, caseine and butter fats, and then hold the maker to its fulfillment, and that with dimes and penalties, if need be. ido not wish to be understood as convey- - ing the idea that washing butter injures it or ‘deteriorates its quality. Onthe other hand, I think no plan of freeing butter from its _‘wattermilk, etc., equals it, for not only is this nearly accomplished, but the sugar is also romoved, which last is the fruitful - -gource of butter getting off flavor. It is sim- ply that the plan is abused, as many other ‘things are perverted, ‘and made vehi- esforunlawfel gain, and that at the ex- - pense of the consumer. .. Wiles of the Successful Traveler. ae From the National Drugeist. : ereseems to be no limit to the resources pveling salesman in devising means himself popular with the custom- ling his goods. One of the latest have heard of is practiced by a traveler ee a furniture ‘. inated and that a cam-| *itictly for cash. He says that, | ¥ nd Jobbers of and rnnee eae is} interesting of t imnitation. gives his experience in changing his business from a loose system of buying on credit to a careful one, buying hile he was always perfectly solvent, so far as ex- cess of assets over liabilities went, he could never pay his bills promptly. The reason was that he bought goods on _ thirty, sixty and ninety days and bought large bills, keeping his shelves filled with much more stock than he really needed. Thiskepthim all the time worried and pushed him to pay his bills, and his stock being too large, much of it became shopworn. Hesuddenly Sole Manufacturers _of the “Peninsular” ‘Brand Pants, Shirts and Overails. State agents for Celuloid Collars and Cuffs. 120 and 122 Jefferson, Ave., DETROIT, MICHIGAN. resolved to turn over a new leaf and stop} 7 buying such large bills and pay cash for what he did buy. He went to work to es- tablish this system, held off from buying until he really began to need stock, then bought only what he did need and paid spot cash. He found the system an infinite im- provement on the old one. unpaid bills to worry him, his stock is al- ways fresh and more salable and in every respect the business is more satisfactory. Manufacturers and jobbers would hail with delight a universal change to this method and retailers, no doubt, would find it more profitable. ee An Artful Shopper. From the Detroit Free Press. A woman entered a dry goods store and approached one of the clerks. ‘‘Please do these up,” she said, handing him two old newspapers. He looked surprised, and she explained. *‘T ain’t out on a reg’lar shopping tower, and ain’t agoin’ to buy anything, but there’s that Mrs. Simpson, that has half of our pew at church, just loaded down with bundles. She’ll never know the difference.” As the clerk was tying up the newspapers she said in a low voice: ‘*Make it look as much like a silk dress pattern as you can, mister; it’1l worry her more.” . —~< 4 << Anchor Brand.

Hefound that he could not the whole of it in the largecan he kept the purpose, and so, after filling this, he put the rest in an empty wooden box which pened to be marked ‘African coffee.” nafter Mr. Jones came into the store ' and seeing the box on the counter, remark- a ‘African coffee! Wonder what that’s like?” and inquired the price. The trader, - who is something of a joker. replied that it was of the same price as that which he had been selling him. “Gimme a pound,” said Jones. ‘I’m a- goin’ to try that an’ see what it’s like.” “Blamed if I ain’t a mind to try halfa pound,” said Mr. Smith, who was standing ~ mear by, ‘‘though that’s putty good coffee ‘that you've been a-sellin’.” They both took the coffee and went home. The very same coffee, mind you, that they “had been using for months. It happened ‘that they both came back together. Jones opened the conversation. ‘‘That’sa prime article, that African coffee I goto’ you. It just lays over everything I’ve swallowed fer years, ’n I told Nancy I'd ruther hev one . pound of it than two of what we’ve be’n a- havin’. 9 “Much you know about coffee!” growled Smith, ‘‘I couldn’t drink more’n one cup of it, no how. "Taint worth more’n half ez much as that other kind o’ yourn,” Jones ‘replied with a slighting reference to Smith’s discriminating powers, to be followed by a sarcastic remark from Smith, to the effect that people who were brought up on burnt peas and brown bread crust soaked in warm water could not be expected to know what good coffee is anyway. The trader knew too much about human nature to make any explanations which would have proved dis- astrous to future trade, so he now puts up ‘‘African” coffee for Mr. Jones, while Mr. Smith has his from the tin can as of yore, and both are happy. Still Waters Run Deep. From the Philadelphia Grocer. Perhaps no greater error exists in busi- ness life than the idea that noise and fuss and dictatorial orders on the part of an em- ployer ensure attention from his tlerks and from the public. The noisy man is seldom a good business man. Cool headedness gives a man time to think as he acts, and the merchant who transacts his business and communicates his orders quietly but firmly is never exposed to ridicule if any of his orders miscarry. Fuming and fretting are really indications of personal inability. No man frets over what he is ableto accom- plish. The very confession which fretting carries with it condemns ii as a practice in the eyes of all wise men, while habitual finding fault sours the character of the fault-finder slowly but steadily, and sours his relations with those around him. Still waters run deep. Thethinking man has a brain too well occupied. to vent itself idly or carelessly. The observant man sees too.quickly and keenly the true position of affairs and at the same time recognizes the remedy too quickly to spend a moment in useless frothing at the mouth. The patient aman knows that time is necessary and per- severance requisite to correct the difficulty. Even the quick, eager worker whose impet- _mosity might burst into complaint, is gener- ally too quick to see the reason underlying the evil or the easiest solution of the diffi- culty to spend time in complaining over things which he can readily master. ree re Benefit of a Ticket System of Sales. A merchant who has had much experience with the ticket system of sales gives the following pertinent suggestions: ‘‘A ticket system by which it is known exactly how much each salesman sells each day soon be- gets-a spirit of emulation among the clerks, each one being desirous of surpassing his fellows in the amount of his sales, and its adoption will often be found to create new life and activity in a business where all was before listlessness and inactivity. These tickets, after careful revision (each sales- man having a particular number on his tick- #t), should be strung on a twine as nearly in order as they were taken in as possible. Each day’s number may be separated from _ the preceding one by a piece of stout card, and if the card be dated, a ready reference _ean be made to each day’s tickets when wanted.” >< Disgusting Habits. . Brom the Pittsburg Grocer. Nothing disgusts lady customers more than to be served by salesmen who are ad- alicted to the practice of chewing tobacco. Merchants who permit themselves or their clerks to practice this filthy habit during the hours of business, do wrong and hurt their business. What is more disgusting than to have a salesman approach a customer with _ his breath reeking with the odor of tobacco, his mouth soiled, and every other minute -expectorating quantities of fiyid extract? oi . Another bad habit is smoking it the store; and the quicker it is dispensed with the bet- ter. No merchant who respects his trade - -will allow it, if a moment is taken to con- - sider the matter. There is a time for every- thing, and the time for the practice of these ares is before or after business hours. a a _ The, Work No se my house an leek a small—a very small stove care of one of the colored The accompanying illustrations represents the Boss ‘Tobacco Pail Cover.
