MAX.

Written for Tas TRADESMAN.

- Ina small village located near one of our
large cities, two brothers kept ‘a general
store. Their place of business was only a
type of its class—counters on each side, di-
vided in the center to’ allow readier access
to the goods piled neatly upon the shelves
behind, the usual array of canned goods and
highly-colored charts and portraits of more
or less lovely female faces by way of adver-

tising that ‘‘A. S. Birk & Co.’s Famous.

Soaps contain no”—etc., ete.—and was
more than usually tasty and attractive.

Its proprietors were, at first glance, ex-
tremely alike in appearance.
young, well dressed and stylish. Both wore
the same pleasant, genial smile in their in-
tercourse with their friends and customers—
of which latter they had not afew, both
prompt and profitable. But, notwithstand-
ing the great similarity of their appearance,
a.closer acquaintance would, to the sharp
observer, at once acquaint him with the
reason for the greater popularity of Max,
the elder of the brothers Tarsney. Although
the younger of the two, Albert, was much
ee handsomer, physically, there was a
gleam in his dark eyes which spoke only
too plainly of the revengeful, vindictive
spirit within. Albert Tarsney was a man
with whom, should heset his heart upon it,
no ties of any kind would be allowed to
stand in the way of accomplishing the ob-
ject aimed at.

While he had numerous warm friends,
there was a greater proportion of the towns-
people who made it a matter of some study
to make their purehases at atime when
Max would be at hand to wait upon them.
Max was open-hearted as the daylight and

would much sooner lose a dollar by inform- |

ing a customer of the true nature of the
article to be purchased than to make ten by
falsely representing it.

A few months previous to the time of
which I write, a gentleman had removed
his family to the little town, purchasing a
fine residence and making ita summer home
when the heat and dust of the city were at
their height. Convenient to his place of
business, the village of Lardon being only a
few miles away, Mr. Sands could easily run
down Saturday evening and pass Sunday

| with his family, returning to his business

on Monday morning.

Mr. Sands’ ‘‘family” consisted solely of
his. wife and their daughter, Ethel, a lovely
girl of 17, just budding into the perfection
of womanhood. No such face had ever be-
fore been seen in Lardon, and the young
men of the town having any pretense to
society and its customs were all agog at
once, and all became possessed of a wild
desire to be the first in a hotly-contested
race for first place in Miss Sands’ good
graces.

Ethel Sands, contrary to the general rule
with rich men’s only daughters, had been
brought up with the utmost simplicity. Her
charms of manner and speech were not the
false gilding of affected, ball-room etiquette,
but bore the impress of nature in the most
charming way.

Both of the brothers Tarsney, being suf-
ficiently well off to do so without laying
themselves liable to the title of fortune-
hunters, laid siege. to the fortress which
contained Ethel Sands’ affection. Max was
successful, and in thecourse of a few weeks
wou from Ethel a shy consent to his suit.
To say that Max was a happy man whea,
upon calling upon Mr. Sands and making
his request for his daughter that gentleman
at ohce consented and said that it made him
only too happy to think that he could en-
trust his daughter’s happiness and welfare
to such a worthy man’s keeping, would be to
put it very mildly. He was simply delirious
with joy and rushed off immediately to his
brother with the goed news.

Albert received it somewhat coldly. A
frown wrinkled his forehead, and he bit his
brown mustache viciously, a peculiar trick
of his when particularly agitated.

‘‘T am glad you have been successful.”

Albert said the words coldly, and his lips
seemed to be forced to open and give them
utterance. Max was quick to notice it, and

he, in the fullness of his happiness, felt |

‘truly sorry for his brother’s failure, although
his success would mean his own failure and
misery.

‘*Al,” said Max, tenderly, and his voice
was very gentle and sympathetic, as he
made use of the nickname he loved so well,
‘Al, I am almost sorry, for your sake, that
I have succeeded. I didn’t realize, in my
own blind selfishness, that you would be so
cut up about it, old fellow. Forgive me,
won’t you; Al ?”.

Theloving accent and the genuine affection
in Max’s faceseemed to strike an answering
chord in Albert’s heart. Reaching out his
hand he said, with apparent candor and
truth :

‘‘Max, my dear fellow, don’t look so woe-
begone. [love Ethel, it is true, but you

". {are not to blame for that, and. it is all right.
| PU get over it in time. © I haven't the least
| hard fesing toward ue in the na rest

Both were.

him.

 

Max and Ethel were married one beauti-
ful day early in the fall, when the forest
trees were beginning to change their tints
of green for the gala robes of autumn, and
the atmosphere seemed blended into their
radiant’ hues. All nature seemed propi-
tious, and the young couple commenced the
journey of life under the most favorable
auspices. :

Max built a little cottage near his place of
business and, after a short bridal trip, the
newly-wedded pair took up their residence
therein. Their home was a picture in real-
ity of contentment and love. It seemed
that the ruthless hand of sorrow would be
daunted and kept at bay forever by Max’s
unselfish devotion and love.

Six months passed and Albert seemed to
have entirely outlived his passion for Ethel
and merged it into a brotherly regard for his
brother’s wife. He was often to be seen in
the cosy sitting room of Max’s home, and
there was a freedom and ease in his man-
ner that completely set at rest any doubts
that might still linger in Max’s mind.

One evening, soon after closing the store,
Max remarked :

“All, ’m going to Detroit to-morrow.
We need some goods and I have a dozen er-
rands for Ethel. Take good care of her
while I’m gone. Tl be back to-morrow
night or early Monday morning.”

Bidding nis brother good-night, Max went
home and prepared for his: journey. In the
morning, Max said a loving good-bye to his
wife and boarded the train. Not athought
that any harm could come to his jewel in
his absence entered Max’s mind. He would

{return in two days at the latest, and surely

nothing could happen in that. time.

He hastened his business with all possi-
ble speed, but he missed the Saturday night
train and was compelled to wait until Mon-
day ere returning home. Impatiently he
walked the streets, stared into the shop
windows, trying to pass away the tedious
hours, and gladly did he hail the approach
of Monday morning.

As Max approached his home, the strange
appearance thereof filled him with a vague
alarm. The blinds, although it was nearly
9 o’clock in the morning, were closed tightly,
and no appearance of life was visible.
Max opened the door with his night-key and
entered. No one met him at the door, al-
though he surely expected to find his wife
waiting to welcome him. Hastily he looked
through the rooms and finally hastened to
his wife’s bed-room. There a sight met his
gaze that paralyzed him, dazing all his
senses and transforming him, for the time
being, into a veritable lunatic. His wife,
the lovely girl he had left but two days be-
fore radiant with health and beauty, lay
stretched upon the carpet, her long golden
tresses mingling with the life-blood that
still oozed horribly through a small orifice
in her temple. Closely grasped in ber hand
was a small revolver—a present from him-
self to ‘‘keep burglars away,” as he had
laughingly expressed it at the time—telling
the ghastly fale of how she died. Max
staggered forward and knelt beside the
corpse of the one he loved above all else.
His dazed eyes could barely see her form,
but he managed to grasp her hand, and
knelt there, softly caressing the dimpled
fingers and imploring her to ‘‘wake up,
Ethel, darling. ’ve come home.” Clearly,
the sight had driven his senses from him,
but he still retained the sense of touch, and
a piece of crumpled paper closely grasped
in the hand which he so lovingly held at-
tracted his attention. Mechanically he
opened it and glanced over the, -at first, to
him, unmeaning lines. They were as fol-
lows:

Your husband is a villain—one of the
blackest. He married you, knowing that
he had a living legal wife. I have said
nothing, knowing that you loved him. But
Ican stand it no longer. I love you so
madly that I cannot live without you.
Meet me to-night at the South Depot, and I
willtake you away from the vile monster
who illegally calls you wife to a place
where your sad story will never be known,
and we will both be-happy. I pray you,
for the sake of your own honor, do not fail

to come. I shall expect you.
‘ALBERT TARSNEY.

At length, the full meaning of the words
dawned upon Max’s benumbed mind.
Atising, he went to the drawer of a dresser
and took therefrom a revolver of large cal-
iber. With a white, set look of determina-
tion on his face, Max examined the weapon
carefully and placed it in his overcoat
pocket. Then he leoked once more upon
the face of his dead wife and left the
house, carefully locking the door behind
Onee upon the street, his strange ac-
tions were not so noticeable, and the tor-
tured man secmed to delight in keeping his
emotions hidden. Two or three acquaint-
ances passed him, and to them he spoke in
his usual pleasant manner. Presently Max
reached the store. His brother stood near
the scales waiting upon a customer, and
Max spoke to him with a calm, steady voice,

making some casual remarks about business, | _.

although he did not - ee the eee of|

his own words. ° :
‘The, customer: lett the store, and. Max

 

“Albert, I will burn this, and than: you
and I will never mention such a. trivial
matters again.”

As he spoke, he held the note over the -
flame of a match until it crumbled to ashes. ©

Then he turned, as if to leave thestore, but
by a quick motion, the revolver was drawn
from his pocket -and his brother was
stretched upon the floor, a’ corpse. In an-
other instant, one of the leaden messengers
of death entered his own brain, and the
tragedy was complete.

The towns-people had many theories ‘to

.advance as to the probable cause of the

double murder and suicide—Max having the
revolver in his hand making it supposable
that he had done the deed—but they were
sadly deficient in clearing it up, and the
mystery Max took to the grave with him by

burning the note. RELLUF.

CHAPTER II.

We were selling goods in a general store,
from 1853 to 1863, beyond the Mississippi
river, in the then new and thriving State of
Iowa. About 1857, there came into our
store a case of men’s boots which sold at
$2.50 per pair. One pair was sold which
proved to be too small, and, being soiled,
was bought back for $2.25. One morning
we pointed out to Mr. Lewis the soiled boots
and instructed him to sell them if an op-
portunity offered at $2.25. That day we
had a large trade and were both very busy.

During the day a young man wished to “

look at boots. I showed him the boots at
$2.50 per pair and the soiled boots at $2.25,
and then returned to serve other waiting
customers. After examining the boots, the
young man threw a pair of boots over his
shoulder, and, advancing to Mr. Lewis,
said, ‘‘I will take the soiled boots,” hand-
ing him $2.25.

As evening came on, our customers
thinned out and we began tidying up mat-
ters in the store. Mr. Lewis had told me
that the soiled boots were sold.. In putting
the boots in order, .I found the said boots
and called Mr. Lewis’ attention to it. Says

e, “‘I would charge him the 25 cents and
make him pay it.” ‘Let us try another
plan,” saysI, ‘‘and if we do not realize
full value for the boots, I will treat.”

About that time two cheap violins, fulk
rigged and ready for business, came into
the stock, the exact cost of each being 84
cents and the selling price $1.50. Not many
many days passed until our young second-
boot dead-beat entered the store. Glances
were exchanged and the boys took down
violin No. 1 and began to saw ‘“‘Old Hun-
dred” and ‘‘Coronation.” Our young .d-b
was fond of music, particularly that of the
violin, and immediately enquired:

“Ts that violin for sale?”

‘Not unless you want it more than we |
do,” was the reply.

‘‘Wouldn’t you sell it to accomodate a
fellow?” :

“Certainly, in the case of a good custom-
er like yourself.”

‘*What is the price?”

“Five dollars.”

“Pll give you a gold sovereign-($4.90) for
at.

‘““That is rather low, but, seeing it is you,
we'll call ita go.”

The gold coin was dropped into our till,
and the young dead-beat departed in happi-
ness over his purchase.. He also left in the
store acouple of happy men, but Lewis
was the happier of the two.

Conundrum: If.the young fellow was-
the dead-beat in the boot deal, who wag the
dead-beatin the fiddle trade—the buyer or
the seller? P.H.

The officers of the Board of Health should be
charged with the duty of frequent inspection

also be charged with the inspection of meats
and vegetables offered forsale in the city.
Proper health regulations naturally cause
considerable inconvenience and expense to in-
dividuals, which necessarily develops opposi-
tion, and the Board of Aldermen will find it
necessary to exercise a considerable degree of
intelligent firmness in adopting and enforcing
proper sanitary regulations; but the general
g00d of the city demands that these important
matters sltould be settled as soon as possible.

Interesting Meeting of the Muskegon As-

sociation.
From the Muskegon Business Gazette.

At the last regular meeting of the Muskegon
B. M. A., held on the 8th, thirteen applications
for membership were received and by vote of
the Association all were unanimously elected
to membership.

A report was read showing the receipts and
expenditures up to May 1, and the sum of $133,-
93 in the treasury, to which incoming quarterly
dues will add a very considerable sum.

Considerable informal information was giv-.

en relative to renting and furnishing the new
rooms. .

There was an interchange of views relative
to the car shops and line of boats to Milwau-
kee, but nothing new was offered except that
the Board of Trade had, 80. far, failed to re-
spond to the invitation to unite efforts to ac-
complisd these purposes; therefore, these
matters may be considered in statu quo.

The Secretary was formally instructed to
present to the next meeting a full statement
in relation to the condition of dues.

The subject of a city market came up and
was discussed at considerable length and some
of the abuses of the present condition of af-
fairs in relation to the subject received a pretty
thorough airing. A resolution, ‘That the in-
terests of the city of Muskegon demand the
establishment of a market,” was passed unan-
imously and the matter was referred to the
Committee on Trade Interests, with instruc-
tions to report at the next meeting. The meet-
ing was then adjourned to Tuesday evening,
May 22. which meeting it was decided to hold
in the council chamber, city hall, as it was
thought: there would probably be a large at-
tendance to hear the report and take part in
discussing the market question.

A Letter with the Right Ring.
SoutH HAVEN, May 9, 1888.
E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:

DEAR Sir—The South Haven B. M.A. helda
very interesting meeting meeting last even-
ing. Much enthusiasm was manifested. We
shall soon knock at the doorof the State o -
ganization for admittance. The members of
this Association are well united and propose
to give it no halt way support. We have
forty-one working members now, including
Hon. C. J. Monroe, Henry Wiiliams, of the
new steamboat line, and others of our citi-
zens, including nearly all of our business
men. A-grand picnic will be held in the park

‘| On the 18th of this month by the Association

and will be addressed by the Hon. C. J. Mon-
roe on aims and objects to be attained through
the organization. We expect a grand time.
The good efforts are now being felt of organ-
ized work. Already a manufacturer is in cor-
respondence with us, looking to a location

here. We.want a brick and tile factory and a

nurseryman to locate here.

You are cordially invited to be present at
our Park meeting, if convenient for you to do
so. :

We have instructed our Improvement Com-
mittee to correspond with responsible parties,
with aview to introducing a water supply
system in the near future in our village.

: Yours for progress,

S. VAN OSTRAND, Sec’y.
Or
Regulating the Peddler.

From the Plainwell Enterprise. -

The B.M. A. Committee on Trade Interests
has, under instructions from the main body,
been looking up the matter of hedging in, by
proper licenses, the peddlers, hawkers and

| auctioneers who draw from legitimate dealers

by selling, in a public place or from door to
door, inferior (and generally very inferior)
goods at starvation prices.

They have had an ordinance drawn amend-
ing Sections 1 and 2 of No: 23.0f the village by-
laws, avhich places the license at $3 per day or

$50 per year, with an exception in favor of

farmers or others disposing of vegetables,
fruits, berries, milk or farm produce. -

The peddling nuisance cannot be too emphat-
ically condemned, and the Association's ef-
forts to abate it should be well supported. A
by-law, similar.to the one prepared for this
place, was. recently enacted by the city of
Coldwater and, on being carried to the Su-

preme Court, was declared constitutional. The

amended by-law will be brought before the
village Board at its next meeting and should
be passed: a :

A Final Reminder,

* DEAR Str—The Executive Board of our As-
sociation will meet in one week, at which time
I should like to present any word or sugges-

Can you suggest any additions or deductions
in methods that will bring better results?
What difficulties do you have to contend with,
‘and whatcan you especially recommend,

ially requested to use the proper blanks
which have been furnished them forreporting
names for publication on the State lists.

The South Haven B. M. .A. has devised a cap-
ital method of encouraging local pride by of-
fering a cash prize of $15 for the best and $10
for the second best improvement of individual
property. _

President Hamilton has called a meeting of
the Executive ‘Board of the M.B. M. A., to be
held at Grand Rapids,.on Friday, for the pur-
pose of deciding upon a date and arranging a
programme for the next State meeting. os

H. B. Sturtevant, President of the Sherman
B. M. A., was in town several days last week.
He says he has already collected enough. bad
accounts through the medium of the Associa-
tion te pay his dues and compensate him for
the time spent for twenty years to come.

Hudson Gazette: At the Business Men’s
Association meeting, last Friday evening, the
report of the committee appointed to draw
up the constitution and by-laws was adopted.
A motion was carried that the President and
Secretary correspond with the Lake Shore
officials in regard to the new depot that had
been promised this station, and endeavor to
have the same erected as soon as possible.
Capt. Mayes, whose name was presented for
membership and unanimously accepted,
said he believed the work on the new depot
would begin within a few weeks. Robert
Armstrong reported that the company was
busily engaged in building and repairing on
the Air Line.. The ngmeés of twenty-five new
members, secured by the committee appointed
for that purpose, were added to the roll, in-
creasing the membership to fifty. The Presi-
dent and Secretary were authorized to secure
proper stationery for correspondence. The
Association adjov :ned until the next meeting
on the first Friday in June. Meantime the
officers and Executive Committee will-endeav-
or to accomplish all they can in the line of the
objects of theorganization, and any informa-
tion or suggestions from business men will be
thankfully received and duly considered.

How to be Successful Merchants.

From the Mail and Express.

Take the bold step of gradually reducing
stock. Z

Seize the righttime for modifying your
business with advantage.

Push your trade with energy and _ spirit
and by judicious advertising.

Divide your risks as the insurance people
do, so that in case of failure you will not be
much hurt. :

In stock-taking, let nothing but real val-
ue appear in the balance sheet, and under
rather than over value.

Let the benefit to accrue from vigorous
use of the pruning knife sustain you. It will
come out all right in the end.

As arule, you lose people and their cus-
tom when they get into your debt. If pos-
sible, do a strictly cash business.

The true limits of credit may be seen from
the etymology of the word. Itisa promise
to pay something in the future. .

Make use of the telegraph when your
stock gets too small. The: results of turn-
ing stock quickly are startling.

Strike off all customers. who will not
steadily pay monthly. Keep strictly to this
rule and you will have a healthy business.

When you have commenced a business go
thoroughly into it. Do not be ashamed of
an honest business that is supporting you.
Make it honorable. ‘

When an account is opened, ask the par-
ties to what extent they wish to go, and
keep them to the amount agreed upon,
which, with their names, should be entered
in the ledger.

She Put Him to the Test.

‘Yes, darling,” he said, in tones of deep
tenderness. ‘‘Il would do anything to show
my love for you.”

“‘Ah!” sighed the gentle maiden, ‘‘that’s
what all men say when they are striving to
win a woman’s heart.”

“Put me to the proof!” he exclaimed, in
wild, passionate tones; ‘‘put me to the
proof, test me, and see if I fail. Set me
any task within the bounds of possibility
and it shall be performed.” :

‘‘Ah,” she murmured, “‘if I could only
believe you.”

‘*Put me to the test. Say to me, do this
or do that, and it shall be done.”

“‘Then I will put you to the test.”

“Ah!” he exclaimed, exultingly, ‘‘you
Shall behold the height, the depth, the
length, the breadth, the circumference of
my love! What is the test?”

The maiden dropped her snowy lids until
the silken lashes rested on the peach bloom
of her cheek, a slight smile dimpled the cor-
ners of her mouth and, bending over the
youth who knelt at her feet, she whispered:

**Marry some other girl!”

The‘ First Conviction Under the New
: Law.
From the Detroit Journal.

August Rahl was examined in the police
court this afternoon on the charge of sell-
ing watered milk. Inspector ‘Tilden testi-
fied that the milk which Rahl sold on April
10 registered in his lactometer a specific
gravity of 83, showing that 17 per cent.
water had been added. He also analyzed
the milk by evaporaticn, showing 88 94-100
water and 11 6-100 solids: Mr. Tilden
stated that the lowest standard of. pure milk
should not exceed from 84 to 87 per cent. of
water. - Qn April 11 be. examined inilk
which he saw taken from Rahl’s cow.
This lactometer showed a specific gravity
of 110 a difference of 23 as compared with

the watered milk. Apparently the differ- |

ence between 89 and 87 per cent. of water
‘was not great, but it reduced the solid parts
from ‘13 to 11, or almost one-sixth.

Mr. Rahl denied having ever watered his
milk, but he was found guilty and fined’$5
and costs. : “

OREGON AND WASHINGYON,.

No section of the country is to-day attracting as
much attention as Montana, Oregen and Washington;
Montana, because it now ranks first in the production
of precious metals; Oregon, because. of its rich val-
leys, and Washington Territory by reason of its
mild climate, timber, coal, minerals and wonderful
production of fruits and cereals. The rapid growth
of Spokane Falls, with a water power exceeding even
that of Minneapolis; Tacoma, on Puget Sound, the
terminus of the Northern Pacific Railroad, with
12,000 inhabitants; Seattle 30 miles distant, an ener-
getic and thriving city, mark this section of the
Pacific Northwest as one that offers peculiar induce-
ments to those seeking new homes.

By writing Chas. 8. Fee, General Passenger Agent,
Northern Pacific Railroad, St. Paul, Minn., he will
send you illustrated pamphlets, maps and books
giving you valuabje information in feference to the
country traversed by this great line from St. Paul,

Minneapolis, Duluih and Ashland to Portland, Ore- |-

gon, and Tacoma and Seattle, Washington Territory.
This road, in addition to being the only rail line to
Spokane Falls, Tacoma and Seattle, reaches all the
principal points in Northern Minnesota and Dakota,
Montana, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, possesses
unequaled scenic atiractions, as well as superior
train equipment, such as dining ears, and colonist
sleepers for the use of intending settlers, neither of
which conveniences are to be found on any other

le ‘The-younger was a so-call-
ed “commercial tourist”—a traveling sales-
an-—representing a large Detroit tobacco

rm. Harry Larrimer was about twenty-
1 well built and handsome. He had
been on the road for nearly six years and,

dike many young unmarried men, as well as

some older ones, had not a dollar to his
“name beyond his salary. Good looking and
intellectually bright, he was just the kind

_ of a fellow one would expect to find abreak-

er of women’s hearts, apd yet he had had

but one affaire @amour.
“Tim,” he began again, ‘‘can’t you intro-

~ duce me?”

_ “Well, Harry, I'd like to, but Iam not

_ -welb enough acquainted to take the chances

of the introduction. Can’t tell how she’d

take it.”
‘Well, who is shg, anyway?”
“The daughter of old man Carney, the
foreman of the bolt works.. The old man is

» fairly well off, has given Lizzie a good edu-

cation and is as jealous of her as a cat is of

- a bowl of cream.”

_ *Ig she the only child?”
‘‘No:; she has a brother, just as opposite

tO her as day is to night—a good-for-noth-

ing, drunken vagabond, who broke his
mother’s heart, and is fast driving the.old
man into his grave. He learned to drink
whisky in college, more than anything else,

I reckon, and when he isn’t drunk it’s be-

cause he can’t wheedle money out of Lizzie
or her father.”

That same evening, Harry went to the
skating rink with the daughter of the hotel

Harry
Larrimer lives, breathes and travels to-day.

< Miss Carney, too, still performs her little

acts of charity and lives on, a victim to—
what shall 1 say?—not folly, but an unfor-

~~ tunate idea.

Let us pass overa few months, and we
find that Harry, in his travels, has often
-been in Almont, has sought the company
and been successful in gaining the love and
respect of Lizzie. They were engaged to
-be married, and Harry had the best wishes

’ of his friends and was making Almont his

path which is much narrower than that of '
many of his fellow travelers.

Now, don’t misunderstand me. The trav-
eling man is not the worst creature in the
world. Heis not, by any means, that cli-
max of everything loose and bad, which has.
The day has gone by
‘when the drinking, roistering, gambling

salesman is the one who is most successful.
“The man with a clear head is the one who

carries the banner of success in the battle of
competition. But there are some of the

‘*poys” who do not belong to the churehes

and who do like to:play cards and take their
- gemi-occasional ‘‘smile.”

- Harry was one of these. “When but sev-

- enteen years old he had been one of the

- “merry lads” of Detroit and, in an unfortu-

nate moment, when his brain was -not en-

” tirely cleared from the.cobwebs of the pre-

also a traveling man, and sold-pig iron to

In his pride, in the first moment of his
wrath at the writer of the letter, he refused.
Words followed and, to-day, some years af-
ter this, they are still apart. Harry is yet
on the road, but he looks more seedy than
of yore. They say he drinks, and you can
see the moral now of this story of his life.
It is too deep for my philosophy, and I can-
not say whether he might have ruined ‘her

dan analysis of the personal character-
istics of an individual and the individual is
itually given tothe use of the manufac-
products of the weed nicotina, in their
various forms, a few days given me for ob-
serving his ways and manners connected.
with the purchase and-use of the article
would assist me materially in making my
report. There are, unquestionably, many
‘other commodities which serve, in their bar-
ter, sale and use, as partial indices of the
‘human character, but it would require a
large aggregation of them to compete with
~ the single article of tobacco; and I honestly
- believe that if I were commissioned to write
~<a thousand dollar article for the next. edi-
tion of the American Cyclopedia on the
‘‘Tdiosyncrasies of the Animal, Man,” I
- ghould make arrangements for a month’s
employment in a popular retail tobacco
store. as :
< /% *. * * *
és ‘The weed” commences: its influence on
the human character almost: as soon as the
" Iauman character commences to develop.
It is one of the first things to arouse ambi-
tion in the youthful mind, as the youngster
who doesn’t determine to eventually beat
‘his progenitor’s record regarding the dis-
tance to which a mouthful of saliva can be
projected is a truly exceptional youth.
‘Then, it early awakens envy, determination
and perservance—envy for the boy for
whom tobacco is no longer an emetic, de-
> termination to subdue his own rebellious
stomach and perseverance in accomplishing
his object. And the singular vegetable
product in question has a marvelous effect
in developing the organ of secretiveness.
No matter how inveterate chewers or
.. smokers you and I may be, we have, from
SS the beginning, impressed it upon our off-
spring that abeut the most heinous offense
they could commit would be to imitate the
example which we are daily putting before
them, and until the time arrives when pa-
ternal discipline has lost its terrors, we are
ingeniously kept in blissful ignorance of the
fact that our hopefuls are experienced and
well-qualified connoisseurs in more varieties
-of smoking and chewing products than a
small battalion of us smoking or chewing
old fogies.

* % % * *

According to the veraciots Diedrich
Knickerbocker, the bumor and almost the
thoughts of the old Dutch governors of
New Amsterdam could be determined by
the velocity and volume of the smoke from
their pipes, and I don’t think that the old
chronicler exaggerated very materially.
When old man Crossgrain came in this
morning and for the fiftieth time ‘this week
filled his aatiquated clay at my expense, 1
could discover distinctly from his manner
of smoking that his feelings were similar
to those of the gentleman who boasted that
he had enjoyed religion for twenty years—
and it never cost him a cent. The short,
jerky puffs of Slathers, when he passed my
door a few moments ago, showed conclu-
sively that he was bracing himself for being
suddenly hailed and urgently dunned.
When Jack Goodman drove by just now,
his briar-root furnished me evidence that he
had been passing some rival horseman on
the road, and as I ogserved the clouds from
Dennis Dooley’s black dudeen, over yon-
der by the saloon, I can actually read his
thoughts—he is reflesting whether he can
get home with one more drink in his

stomach.
* * * * *

Don’t make the mistake of fixing the to-
bacco user’s financial status by the style
and quality of his purchases. Young
Toodles, whose tailor recently offered me

an account against him at a discount of
seventy-five per cent., will probably grum-
ble at the flavor of your $80 Key Wests,
while Dodson, with $59,000 invested in gilt
edge securities, is perfectly satisfied with a
five-center. Farmer Shorthorn’s hired man
uses the best grades of fine-cuts obtainable,
but Shorthorn himself munches ‘‘shorts,”
and, although Bagwell, the banker, con-
tentedly puffs twenty-cent smoking, you-
have to order a special grade for his clerk.
a An old dealer, in speaking of the pecu-
_. liarities of the tobacco user’s tastes, , once
remarked to me:
“One spring, years ago, when tobacco

*

*swas sold in bulk, we had a bad flood and |

almost before I knew it my basement was
full of water. Among other things dam-
aged were a couple of barrels of smoking,
and when I got around to open them up
the contents were green with mould and al-
most rotten. Just as 1 was getting ready
to dump them into the river, one of the
yvealthiest men in town came in and, after
examining the stuff, asked: what I would
take for the lot. Inamed a nominal price,
cand he carted the stinking mess home and
¢ for both smoking .and chewing.

it’s a singular fact that that very same
‘sold his eighteen-year-old boy a coup-

ds of smoking, of a strongly

of:
ored quality, for exactly the

“greenback flav

‘experience of the che
‘blacker will be the

oods that he wants.
Notice that the young fellow who handles
six or eight five-cent cigars and carefully
tests their elasticity before buying one in-
variably coats his purehase with a liberal
quantity of saliva. If, after many impor-
tunities and after considerable’ correspond-
ence and trouble, you succeed in finding a
certain brand of smoking for a certain cus-
tomer, don’t be disappointed if he uses only
one-twenty-fifth part of the invoice. Ifa
young dude from the neighboring city, af-
ter being infermed that you don’t keep a
certain kind of cigarette, asks you, ‘*What
kind of a d—d town is this, anyhow?” ac-
cept the offensiveness calmly and reflect
that it is only-one of the peculiarities of the
traffic. Ifa red-shirted ‘‘logger’ from the
north woods demoralizes with his teeth four
or five ten-cent cuts of plug and finally in-
vests in one of them, submit to the depreda-
tion with equanimity and attribute it to
the same cause. Don’t get disgruntled if
your customer tears off-the top of a package
of ‘‘Durham” and, after smoking a pipeful,
informs you that he doesn’t want it—it will
help to keep your ‘‘free-for-all” box ac-
ceptable to its patrons. And if the same
party returns from another siore and dis-
gusts your lady customers with smoke from
the vilest, tobacco that was ever put on the
market, regard the matter philosophically
as only one of the almost numberless singu-
larities and eccentricities’ of the grand
army of tobacco users.

ucts of ‘‘the weed,” is probably the near-
est approach to a barometer of its user’s
feelings, and, as a barometer of this nature,
it has’on sundry oecasions afforded me
much information and satisfaction. I can
positively testify that at the Battle of
Mission Ridge the cigar of General

Grant relieved me of every doubt and ap-
prehension and that on two or three simi-
lar occasions the unceasing ‘‘dry smoke” of
General Sherman had thesame happy effect.
In a very threatening storm on the lakes,
I had much rather trust the captain’s cigar
than his word, and when my railway train
at right is running at what seems to me a
reckless and almost insane rate of speed, if
gives me a feeling of great relief to see the
conductor enjoying his weed with calmness
and deliberation.

Tam now thinking seriously of using the
barometer mentioned in business affairs. H,
as 2 commencement, it will assist me in
partially escaping the wiles of the insidious
d-b., it will certainly prove of practical val-
ue, and I have very little doubt but that I
can eventually discover the particular man-
ner in which the smoking 4d-b. will ‘*give
himself away.”

case showing the depravity to which a
honesty ‘will descend
f gain, was’ recently un-
ik seller, with a very desira-
trons, was complained of for
elting a mixture of milk. and water.at the
ing price‘for the lacteal fluid in its puri-

i hile delivering to regular

01 “Whether. such an act had: been

; Seinen and arranged for or not, the

~ gontents of his cans was found to be pure

~ milk and of good quality. Late?, a gentle-

man came into the. inspector’s den with a

sample of milk which he claimed to have

purchased from the dealer in question, and
it was found to be diluted with water. |

-But there was difficulty in making a case

against the offender, under the circumstan-

_ ces. The milk had been in charge of the

- “ ‘purchaser for several hours, and should the

. dealer be arrested, he might swear through

'* thick and thin that he delivered the pure

article, leaving the inference that the adul-

teration had been made after it left his

“Just take this milk back home,” re-
quested the inspector, ‘‘and 1 will be on
hand at your house in the morning when
that dealer delivers the milk. “Then we'll
bring it down here and analyze it.”

He was on deck as per arrangement, saw
the delivery of the milk from a vantage
‘point that gave no hint of his presence,

‘took it to the office and found that the man
‘who had been forced to deal squarely with
those who took milk from his wagon, was

- selling milk 33 per cent. below par for a
poor sick baby whose hope of life hung up-
on the strengthening diet for which its par-
ents paid.

“Below par, is it?” queried a young doc-
tor present. ‘‘If I was the baby’s ‘par’ I'd
kick that milk peddler as long and as far as
my shoes would stand the racket.”

After this break the room was fumigated
and Dr, Duffield declared himself: ‘“There’s
the kind of fiendish fraud that we're bent
on putting anend to. Why, last July there
were 559 deaths in Detroit and 80 per cent.
of them were of children. Summer com-
plaint was the chief cause of death, and
impure or weakened milk was a principal

" eause of the disorder. It will be stopped if
vigilance and law can compass the result.
You will see a great falling off from that
death rate next July. Just bear that in
mind and keep track of it.”

Another instance worthy of presentation
is that of a milk dealer who thinks that a
lie well stuck to is about as good as the
truth. Milk taken from his wagon was
found to be 20 per cent. short in the requi-

’ site qualities of good milk, He was
ealled before the milk tribunal, and
brazenly asseverated that the milk he sold
was especially good. In proof, he had some
milk right from the cow. Sure enough, it
wwas a trifle above par, really of excellent
quality.

**But that’s not what you’re selling,” per-
sisted the inspector.

**Yes, it is,” and the denier would have it
no other way.

Again a test was made of milk in transit
for delivery, and again the fact of its adul-
4teration established. The difference be-

= tween the article as it came from the cows
and as it was sold was shown and explain-
ed, but the confident dispenser of the
lacteal stood pat. No amount of argument
or demonstration could move him, and it is
apparent that nothing but the good stiff
finding of a jury will open his eyes to the
fact that the unerring finding of science is
behind the charge of the milk inspector.

Milkmen have been wrongfully accused
through the crookedness of grocery dealers,
who have bought pure milk and _ then
- watered it to swell their profits. They
usnally calm indiguant customers by
denouncing the innocent dealer, and
promising that the matter will be remedied.

Resturant keepers are found who tone
milk down until it is blue, and serve it to
patrons, who must drink a great deal of

_ waterto get a small percentage of milk.
All such cases are being recorded in the:
doomsday book, and the day of reckoning

is not far off.

Read this Scheme.

$11,550 Worth of Real Esiate

And personal property to be actually
given away to purchasers of the celebrated

“Golden-Red” and “Presto” Cigars”
in 1888.

We have sold these goods for the past
ten years at the uniform price of $55 per
M. for *‘Golden-Rod” and $35 per M. for
the ‘*Presto” cigars, and shall continue to
sell them at that price, thus charging noth-
ing extra for the property we shall distrib-
ute.

We have figured that by liberal advertis-
ing we can save the salaries and expenses
of several men on the road and that the dif-
ference will pay for this property and the
purchasers of the goods will get the direet
benefit. Just look at this carefully and
see a plain business proposition. We hand
over to you direct the amount it would cost
us to sell these goods in the ordinary way.

EGG

 

We will distribute this property in the
following manner:

We will start an order book at this date
with lines numbered from 1 to 3,600 and
each order will be entered in the book in
the order it is received at our office.

Every fifth order received will entitle the
party ordering to a fine. gold handled silk
umbrella which will be sent with the goods.

Every 24th order received will entitle
sender to a full tea set of 56 pieces Import-
ed China Ware, which will be sent with the
cigars.

Every 74th order received will entitle the
party ordering to a clear title deed of a piece
of real-estate. Hither a building lot and

water privilege, at a summer resort, a city
lot in city of Sault Ste Marie, a house and
lotin St. Ignace, or a farm of 160 aoe
There are 39 lots of the real estate and 7
articles of personal property to go w oe
3,000 orders, an average of more than one
in four.

Ee

An order will consist of 1g M. ‘'Golden
Rod” cigars at $55 per M. or 1 M. ‘-Presto”
cigars at $35 per M. An order of double
this amount from one party will be entered
as two orders.

These cigars are not made of cheap m2-
terial, like the ordinary scheme cigar, but
are First-Class Goods, made as we have
always made them, to hold trade.

The ‘‘Golden-Rod” is made from the finest
imported Vuelta Havana, long filler, straight
hand-made goods, without flavor, and as
fine as anything made in thé U.S. Sold at
their market value, without regard to the
property given away. The ‘‘Presto” cigar
is a very nice imported serap-cigar, gives

universal satisfaction and sells in many

places at 10c.

The summer resort lots are on the beau-
tiful Lakeville Lake in Oakland Co. on the
P.O. & P. A. R. R., ahandsomer lake with
better fishing than Orion, six miles distant.
Lots 40 feet by 80 rods with good lake front
privilege, value $50 each.

- The lots at the Soo are within 4 ofa
mile of the water power canal. In the
heart of the city, with houses all around
them, 40x124 feet, valued at $1,000 each.

The house and lot at St. Ignace ‘is in the
third ward on Main street. House occu-
pied by tenant, valued at $1,000.

The farm is within two miles of Carp
Lake Station, on the G. R. & I. R. BR. Six
miles from Mackinaw City, hardwood and
cedar, good front on Carp Lake, seven acres
under cultivation, valued ai $3,200.

-Warrantee deeds of real estate will be
sent with the cigars, which come in proper
order.

When the property is all- distributed, cir-
culars will be sent to each purchaser of
cigars, showing name and address of par-
ties getting these presents,

Send in your orders, somebody will get

some good property for nothing. You will
get warranted goods, worth the price put
on them. The value of the presents is not
taken out of the goods.

Terms on cigars, 60 days to responsible
parties, or 5 per cent. off for cash.

ness standing.

patients have been most satisfactory, espec-
ially to those in a stage of recovery after se-
vere sickness.

I write this thinking you might like to have

prescribe it in future, where the system re-

GENTLEMEN—I have used the “Best” Tonie
with most gratifying resultsin my case of
dyspepsia. My case was a bad one, 1 had no.
appetite; headache in the morning; sour stom-
ach; looking as though I had consumption,
and after taking this tonic I never felt better
in my life. I think it will cure a bad case of
dyspepsia. You may recommend it for that
case. Wo. O. JAEGER.

judgment that itis a very pure and safe arti-

every case of debility where a Tonic of that

where the whole system seems completely

ave used many of the so-called “Malt Ex-

superior. In the aged where the digestive

Kino.....

4M arug clerk as there was in Boston. But
* « that was some time ago, and no doubt he is
forgotten by the fraternity in that city.
His name is Rolphie R. Sanford, and he is
at. present residing with his widowed
mother, who owns a fine residence net far
from Manchester. His experience with
hasheesh is worth reproducing. A repre-
sentative of the Manchester Union saw
Sanford some time ago, and as it was just
; gan dinner and he had partaken of his
meal with unusual relish, he was in the
“mood for talking. ‘‘Why,-my boy,” said
he, ‘‘drug clerks, of course, have secrets.
You want me to tell you a little story, eh?
If I should tell you some of the secrets of
course they would be secrets no longer, but
Pll give you a little of my experience with
-hasheesh. It’s a stuff that no one wants to
meddle with with impunity, allow me to in-
s form you. If I had not been careless I
oe not be able to tell you my experience
with hasheesh.

“It was some eight or ten years ago,
“when I was at work fora prominent drug-
gist in Boston. For some little time I had

“been suffering from dyspepsia, and the ail-
ment bothered me so that life became un-
bearable. I at last mixed up a decoction

_ that gave me great relief. I was to take it
before meals, and placed the bottle on a
shelf behind the prescription counter among

| Zz, other bottles which are usually found in

Gans: place. One noon I went to take my

“medicine. I took down what I thought to
be the right bottle, and, discarding the use

-of a spoon, I placed the orifice to my
mouth and took a large swallow. Horrors !
The taste told me that I had made a mis-
take. I looked at the bottle and—well, my
friend, I had taken a large dose of Indian
cannabis, or otherwise hasheesh. I stag-

* *pered. back to the rear part of the store.
- How queer felt! How light I was grow-
@@ing! Up, up, up I went until my. head
' “Wobbed against the ceiling. I was likea

' ;along, and could look down. and see the

“It is safe vs affirm that eunps and beg-
"gars are made and educated for their work

by false benevolence, which kills out all but.

- the hog and hyena elements in human na-
-tare and causes them to waste five dollars
in time in begging one dollar’s worth of
cold victuals and old clothes, and men of
good heart, but of soft brains, who are pop-
ularly termed “benevolent,” are to blame
for it. But the tramp nuisance, although
disgusting and irritating, is the very least
of the evils which spring from the same

_ Species of beings in a different phase of
begging and sponging, not less real and a
thousand times more dangerous and damag-
ing to the live workers and useful men’ of a
community.

‘Again I refer to that .class who throng
the provident, rich and poor, asking for ac-
commodations, who generate the bad debts
and worthless accounts which rob producers
of every community, every year, of a thous-
and times more than do all other criminal
classes. And here, again, false benevo-
lence, the robber of robbers (taking their
manhood, even all that a man hath), comes

. in and slaughters fools, in order to ruin
himself, and then complains that he is
“Cabused” when the beat adds _ insult to in-
jury and rouses up raving mad when re-
quired to pay.

. Right here, I will condense the story of a
certain eccentric character, a sort of back-
wocds philosopher, living near here, to il-
trate this business. One day, a short time
ago, while waiting for mail at the postof-
fice, the subject of benevolence, tramps,
eredit and bad luck was being discussed
among the crowd. He listened as long as
he could hold in, and then ‘‘biled over”
thus:

*‘My friends, while you are speaking of
accommodations, benevolence, good and bad
luck, help and hindrance, I am reminded of
a bit of my own experience, which I just
ache to tell you, and if you’ll let up a little
Yi tell it true and short, or I’ll burst a blood
-vessel. I, even I, was once a mighty benev-
-olent sort of a chap, as the world goes; was
- gorry for tramps and everybody who was
unlucky and, of course, I got the name of
being a montrous clever fellow—and kept it
for years. I ran my farm for all ’twas
worth, gathered in plenty of all a man
-wants—enough to keep twenty families.
The ‘unlucky’—not tramps, but the ‘very
respectable’ and ‘so unfortunate’—gath-
ered in my wake, and I accommodated ev-
erybody, and for years was known as the
“very prince of good fellows.
notes, lending to friends and helping the
unfortunate, I certainly leaked half of all
my income for many years. But I was such
a ‘nice fellow’ that I never realized it until
later—and they were so much obliged and
so thankful I really thought it was a good
investment, as I was rarely pinched by their
_ bad luck, had plenty and owed no man. At
last, after nearly twenty years, I—every-
body’s friend and everybody my friend—
was flung out poorer, yes, poorer, thana
beggar—absolutely penniless. Well, then,
for the first time, although I thought I was
better educated than the crowd, 1 began to

hour that I was seen flat down, that crowd
of sweet friends vanished and many who
had passed by thejr.own parents, sons and
brothers, to ask and receive ‘help’ from
my granary full of wheat, despised me
worse than a tramp and added outrageous
insult to deadly injury. I surely thought
that the end of the world had come, at least
for me. How I escaped insanity I don’t
‘know; but I did, andin time I woke up
and began to think for the first time in thir-
ty years. When I came to see the actual
effect upon ‘friends’ of my ‘accommoda-
tions’ and realized that I had all unwitting-
ingly been the cause of that effect, it utterly
sobered me. I never blamed any but my
> fool self after that, for I saw that I had
been their instructor. Then it was revealed

Tramps-are only the stragglers in’ this
army Of moral loeusts that scourge society.
Ask any merchant or honest laborer, and he
will declare that what he has lost through
the folly of accommodating the unlucky
friend or crediting the respectable swindler
is the very heaviest tax laidupon him. All
this is the result of so many getting into the
habit of postponing payment until easy
times or some cheaper method than square
business can be found to accommodate
them. And the simple one who yields

gives time and gratifies the unfortunates in

their animal laziness—mental, moral or
physical—is innocently to blame for the
worse than suicide of the laggards. Proper
legislation would sweep the tramp nuisance
from the land, gather them into organized
bands of productive labor under military
discipline and relieve society of a great
curse. We can guard against criminals,
but no legislation, no practical method
known to man, it seems, can guard us from
our friends, who are able bodied and un-
lucky and who are ever asking more time
and accommodations. More time! Poor
wretches! They have begged everything,
every kind of material of the provident that
man can produce, and, at last, they beg
time—as if man can make it for them by the
year and supply them according to the de-
mand.

And right here is the great mischief, the
woe upon woe that slanghters the delin-
quent. He looks upon time as worthless—
except when others use it for him and give
it to him without price. Only his neigh-

bors’ time is valuable to him—he cannot use

his own; and this began when he found “‘a
clever fellow,” able to spare him time or its
results to repair bad luck or a waste of time.

It is now high time, I think, that we
learn this vital truth. It is impossible to
shew mercy to the unmerciful or benevo-
lence to those who rob themselves. True
benevolence is often apparently cruel in
forcing men to help themselves. The best
men in all lands in youth have found what
the world terms the opposite of kindness,
and results prove that the schooling which
makes men self-helpers, prompt in every
duty, squarely on time, asking no favors, is
the only real benevolence that exists, while

But, for the-sake of all that is worth living

for, don’t allow them to. grow up with the|

ideas of benevolence that have cursed and
blighted the lives of so many of this. gener-
ation, making the simple ones who possess
souls the pack horses of the soulless, who,
in turn, are transformed into beasts of prey
so fiendish and cruel, when masters. of
their benefactors, that they are absolutely
without a match in human animals. The
American able bodied tramp represents this
evil genius in its coarsest and most undis-
guised form. But his prototype, appearing
in respectable guise in every community,
whom people trust as they never do the
tramp species, is the finished embodiment
of nineteen centuries of Satanic evolution,
deceiving the very elect. He lives and
thrives upon the popular ideal of benevo-
lence and of friendly assistance to a friend,
asking accommodations, and his victims,
unlike the victims of the out and out crimi-
nal, are solely confined to the really benevo-
lent and compassionate. He never devours
any but the most worthy, and these he
knows (by a superior vulpine instinct) from
those of his own kind, who are never de-
ceived into trusting a familiar spirit. If
people could once learn that there is really
no benevolence outside of rigid, iron-clad
business rules, or the guide found in the old
book—secret almsgiving, expecting no re-
turn from those needing assistance—it
would cut off the supply that engenders the
direst curse of modern civilized life. It
should be understood, if a man really.is a
friend indeed, to his fellow, that fellow will
be the very last man upon whose shoulders
he will lay burdens, instead of the first, as
is the law of this modern graduate of Satan’s
finished school. Bear this in mind as a
veritable law. The man, if forced to lay
burdens upon his fellow men, always goes
to strangers and spares his friends, while
the sham man rides none but friends, mak-
ing them his slaves through their good na-
ture and becoming more of a burden than
any other; he worships and loves them un-
til they are too weak to throw him off, then
tramples them under foot. Had they real-
ized the law of true benevolence, which
causes a being possessing a soul to go hun-
gry rather than load down an overburdened
friend and to spare the friend more than all

others, they would have been saved from
punishment worse than civilized law can in-
flict upon the vilest of criminals. True
benevolence is ever straight business—the
business rule is the Golden Rule.

The ‘QUICK MEAL

SIMPLEST! SAFEST! BEST!

 

 

The “QUICK M MEAL” is now the most popular Stove
made, One-fifth of al! the Gasoline Stoves sold last year in ~
the entire United States were of this incomparable stove.

BECAUSE
BECAUSE
BECAUSE

 

THE PEOPLE LIKE IT

Itis so Simple a child can understand it. The arrangement of the

Levers for Opening the Valves can be found on no other steve, and the

frame is so worded that no mistake can be made inopening or closing.¢

It is so absolutely safe that we have yet te hear of the first accident
from its use, and it is almost the only stove made that ABSOLUTELY
CLOSES THE VALVES and TOTALLY EXTINGUISHES THE
FLAMES while being filled.
It has more than every advantage claimed by any other stove, all sim-
ilar stoves being only attempts at imitation of the “QUICK MEAL”
which has jumped into popular favor, in such a surprising manner
solely on account of its honest merit.

PROS

Are as low as any, ranging from $3 for Single Burners to $20 each for the larger burners, sub-
ject to regular trade discount. If the “QUICK MEAL’ is not sold in your town, write to us
for Catalogue and prices.
