JOHN NICHOLSON’S TROUBLES.
CHAPTER VII.
A TRAGI-COMEDY IN A CAB.
When John awoke it was day. The
low winter sun was already in the heav-
ens, but his watch had stopped, and it
was impossible to tell the hour exactly.
Ten, he guessed it, and made haste to
dress, dismal reflections crowding on his
mind. But it was less from terror than
from regret that he now suffered: and
with his regret there were mingled cut-
ting pangs of penitence. There had
fallen upon hima blow, cruel, indeed,
but yet only the punishment of old mis-
doing; and he had rebelled and plunged
into fresh sin. The rod had been used
to chasten, and he had bit the chastening
fingers, His father was right; John had
justified him; John was no guest for de-
cent people’s houses, and no fit associate
for decent people’s children. And had a
broader hint been needed, there was the
case of his old friend. John was no
drunkard, though he could at times ex-
ceed; and the picture of Houston drink-
ing spirits at his hall table struck him
with something like disgust. He hung
back from meeting his old friend. He
could have wished he had not come to
him; and yet, even now, where else was
he to turn ?
These musings occupied him while he
dressed, and accompanied him into the
lobby of the house. The doorstood open
on the garden; doubtless, Alan had
stepped forth; and John did as he sup-
posed his friend had done. The ground
was hard as iron, the frost still rigorous;
as he brushed among the hollies, icicles
jingled and glittered in their fall; and
wherever he went, a volley of eager spar-
rows followed him. Here were Christ-
mas weather and Christmas morning
duly met, to the delight of children.
This was the day of reunited families,
the day to which he had so long looked
forward, thinking to awake in his own
bed in Randolph Crescent, reconciled
with all men and repeating the foot-
prints of his youth; and here he was
alone, pacing the alleys of a wintery
garden and _ filled with penitential
thoughts.
And that reminded him: why was he
alone? and where was Alan? The
thought of the festal morning and the
due salutations reawakened hisdesire for
his friend, and he began to call for him
by name. As the sound of his voice
died away, he was aware of the great-
ness of the silence that environed him.
But for the twittering of the sparrows
and the crunching of his own feet upon
the frozen snow, the whole windless
world of air hung over him entranced,
and the stillness weighed upon his mind
with a horror of solitude.
Still calling at intervals, but now with
a mederated voice, he made the hasty
cireuit of the garden, and finding neither
man nor trace of man in all its evergreen
coverts, turned at last to the house.
About the house the silence seemed to
deepen strangely. The door, indeed,
stood open as before; but the windows
were still shuttered, the chimneys
breathed no stain into the bright air,
there sounded abroad none of that low
stir (perhaps audible rather to the ear
of the spirit than to the ear of the flesh)
by which a house announces and betrays
its human lodgers. And yet Alan must
be there—Alan locked in drunken slum-
bers, forgetful of the return of day, of
the holy season, and of the friend whom
he had so coldly received and was now
so churlishly neglecting. John’s disgust
redoubled at the thought; but hunger
was beginning to grow stronger than re-
pulsion, and as a step to breakfast, if
nothing else, he must find and arouse
this sleeper.
He made the cireuit of the bed-room
quarters. All, until he came to Alan’s
chamber, were locked from without, and
bore the marks of a prolonged disuse.
But Alan’s was aroom in comimission,
filled with clothes, letters, books, and the
conveniences of a solitary man. The
fire had been lighted; but it had long ago
burned out, and the ashes were stone
eold. The bed had been made, but it
had not been slept in.
Worse and worse,
have fallen where
sprawled, brutishly,
dining-room floor.
The dining-room was a very long
apartment. and was reached through a
passage; so that John, upon his entrance,
brought but little light with him, and
must move toward the windows with
spread arms, groping and knocking on
the furniture. Suddenly he-tripped and
fell his length over a prostrate body. it
was what he had looked for, yet it
shocked him; and he marveled that so
rough an impact should not have kicked
a groan out of the drunkard. Men had
killed themselves ere now in such ex-
cesses, a dreary and degraded end that
made John shudder. What if Alan were
dead!
By this time John had his hand upon
the shutters, and flinging them back, be-
held once again the blessed face of the
day. Even by that light the room had a
discomfortable air. The chairs were
seattered, and one had been overthrown;
the table-cloth, laid as if for dinner, was
twitched upon one side, and some of the
dishes had fallen to the floor. Behind
the table lay the drunkard, still un-
aroused, only one foot visible to John.
But now that light was in the room,
the worst seemed over; it was a disgust-
ing business, but not more than disgust-
ing, and it was with no great apprehen-
sion that John proceeded to make the
circuit of the table—his last compara-
tively tranquil moment of that day. No
sooner had he turned the corner, no
sooner had his eyes alighted on the body,
than he gave a smothered, breathless ery,
and fled out of the room and out of the
house.
It was not Alan who lay there, but a
man well up in years, of stern counte-
nance and iron-gray locks; and it was no
drunkard, for the body lay in a pool of
then; Alan must
he sat, and now
no doubt, upon the
blood, and the open eyes stared upon the
ceiling.
To and fro walked John before the
door. The extreme sharpness of the air
acted on his nerves like an astringent,
and braced them swiftly. Presently, he
not relaxing in his disordered walk, the
images began to come clearer and stay
longer in his fancy; and next the power
of thought came back to him, and the
horror and danger of his situation rooted
him to the ground.
He grasped his forehead, and staring
on one spot of gravel, pieced together
what he knew and what-he suspected.
Alan had murdered some one—possibly
“that man’? against whom the butler
chained the door in Regent’s ‘Terrace;
possibly another; some one, at least a hu-
man soul, whom it was death to slay and
whose blood lay spilled upon the floor.
This was the reason of the whisky drink-
ing in the passage, of his unwillingness
to welcome John, of his strange behavior
and bewildered words; this was why he
had started at and harped upon the name
of murder; this was why he had stood
and hearkened, or sat and covered his
eyes, in the black night. And now he
was gone, now he had basely fled; and to
all his perplexities and dangers John
stood heir.
“Let me think—let me think,”’ he said,
aloud, impatiently, even pleadingly, as
if to some merciless interrupter. In the
turmoil of his wits, a thousand hints and
hopes and threats and terrors dinning
continuously in his ears, he was like one
plunged in the hubbub of a crowd. How
was he to remember—he, who had nota
thougHt to spare—that he was himself
the author, as well as the theater, of so
much confusion? Butin hours of trial
the junto of man’s nature is dissolved,
and anarchy succeeds.
It was plain he must stay no longer
where he was. But he could not tell
where he was to go; he must not lose
time on these insolubilities. Let him go
back to the beginning. It was plain he
must stay no longer where he was. It
was plain, too, that he must not flee as
he was, for he could not carry his port-
manteau, and to flee and leave it, was to
plunge deeper in the mire. He must go,
leave the house unguarded, find a cab,
and return—return after an absence?
Had he courage for that?
And just then he spied a stain about a
hand’s-breadth on his trouser-leg, and
reached his finger down to touch it. The
finger was stained red; it was blood: he
stared upon it with disgust, and awe, and
terror, and, in the sharpness of the new
sensation, fell instantly to act.
He cleansed his finger in the snow. re-
turned into the house, drew near with
hushed footsteps to the dining-room
door, and shut and locked it. Then he
breathed a little freer, for here at least
was an oaken barrier between himself
and what he feared. Next, he hastened
to his room, tore off the spotted trousers
which seemed in his eye a link to bind
him to the gallows, flung them in a cor-
ner, donned another pair, breathlessly
crammed his night things into his port-
manteau, locked it, swung it with an
effort from the ground, and, with a rush
of relief, came forth again under the
open heavens.
The portmanteau, being of occidental
build, was no feather-weight;: it had dis-
tressed the powerful Alan; and as for
John, he was crushed under its bulk, and
the sweat broke upon him thickly.
Twice he must set it down to rest before
he reached the gate: and when he had
come so far, he must do as Alan did. and
take his seat upon one corner. Here,
then, he sat awhile and panted: but now
his thoughts were sensibly lightened;
now, With the trunk standing just inside
the door, some part of his dissociation
from the house of crime had_ been
effected and the cabman need not pass
the garden wall. It was wonderful how
that relieved him; for the house, in his
eyes, was a place to strike the most
cursory beholder with suspicion, as
though the very windows had cried mur-
der.
But there was to be horemission of the
strokes of fate. As he thus sat, taking
breath in the shadow of the wall and
hopped about by sparrows, it chanced
that his eye roved to the f fastening of the
door; and what he saw plucked him to
his feet. The thing locked withaspring:
once the door was closed, the bolt shot-of
itself ; and, without a key, there was no
means of entering from without.
He saw himself obliged to one of two
disgraceful and perilous alternatives:
either to shut the door altogether and sot
his portmanteau out upon the wayside. a
wonder to all beholders: or to leave the
door ajar, so that any thievish tramp or
holiday schoolboy might stray in and
stumble on the grisly secret. To the
last, as the least desperate, his mind in-
clined; but he must first insure himself
that he was unobserved. He peered out.
and down the long load; it lay dead
empty. He went to the corner of the
by-road; there, also, not a passenger was
Stiming. Plainly 1 now or never,
the high tide of his affairs: and he drew
the door as close as he durst, slipped a
pebble in the chink, and made off down-
hill to find a cab.
Half-way down agate opened, anda
troop of Christmas children sallied forth
in the most cheerful humor, followed
more soberly by a smiling mother.
*‘And this is Christmas day ?’ thought
John; and could have laughed aloud in
tragie bitterness of heart.
In front of Donaldson’s Hospital, John
counted it good fortune to perceive a cab
agreat way off and by much shouting
and waving of his arm to catch the no-
tice of the driver. He counted it good
fortune, for the time was long to him till
he should have done forever with the
Lodge; and the further he must go to
find a cab, the greater the chance that the
inevitable discovery had taken place, and
that he should return to find the garden
full of angry neighbors. Yet when the
vehicle drew up he was sensibly chagrined
was,
to recognize the cabman of the night be-
fore.
The driver, on the other hand, was
pleased to drop again upon so liberal a
fare; and as he was a man—the reader
must already have perceived—of easy,
not to say familiar, manners, he dropped
at once into a vein of friendly talk, com-
menting on the weather, on the sacred
season, which struck him chiefly in the
light of aday of liberal gratuities, on
the chance which had reunited him toa
pleasing customer, and on the fact that
John had been (as he was pleased to call
it) visibly ‘on the randan’’ the night be-
fore.
*‘And ye look dreidful bad the-day, sir,
I must sae that,’’ he continued. **There’s
nothing like a dram for ye—if ye’ll take
my advice of it; and bein’ as it’s Christ-
mas, I’m no saying,’ he added, with a
fatherly smile, ‘“‘but what I would join
ye myself’.’’
John had listened with a sick heart.
“Pll give you a dram when we’ve got
through,”’ said he, affecting a sprightli-
ness which sat on him most unhand-
somely, ‘‘and not a drop till then. Bus-
iness first and pleasure afterward.”’
With this promise the driver was pre-
vailed upon to clamber to his place and
drive, with hideous deliberation, to the
door of the Lodge. There were no signs
as yet of any public emotion; only, two
men stood not far off in talk, and their
presence, seen from afar, set John’s
pulses buzzing. He might have spared
himself his fright, for the pair were lost
in some dispute of a theological com-
plexion, and with lengthened upper lip
and ehumerating fingers, pursued the
matter of their difference, and paid no
heed to John.
But the cabman proved a thorn in the
flesh. Nothing would keep him on his
perch; he must clamber down, comment
upon the pebble in the door (which he
regarded as an ingenious but unsafe de-
vice), help John with the portmanteau,
and enliven matters with a flow of speech,
and especially of questions, which I thus
condense:
‘*He’ll no be here himsel’, will he?
No? Well, he’s an eccentric man—a
fair oddity—if ye ken the expression.
Great trouble with his tenants, they tell
me. I’ve driven the fam’ly for years.
I drove a cab at his father’s waddin’.
What’ll your name be ?—I should ken
your face. Baigrey, ye say? There
were Baigreys about Gilimerton; ye’ll be
one of that lot? Then, this'll be a
friend’s portmantie, like? Why? Be-
cause the name upon it’s Nucholson!
Oh, if ye’re ina hurry, that’s another
job. Waverly Brig’? Are ye for away?’’
So the friendly toper prated and ques-
tioned and kept John’s heart in a flutter.
But to this, also, as to other evils under the
sun, there came a period; and the victim of
circumstances began at last to rumble
toward the railway terminus at Waverly
Bridge. During the transit, he sat with
raised glasses in the frosty chill and
moldy fetor of his chariot, and glanced
out sidelong on the holiday face of
things. the shuttered shop, and the
erowds along the pavement, much as the
rider in the Tyburn cart may have ob-
served the concourse gathering to his ex-
ecution.
At the station his spirits rose again;
another stage of his escape was fortu-
nately ended—he began to spy blue water.
He called a railway porter, and bade him
earry the portmanteau to the cloak-
ae that he had any notion of de-
lay: flight. instant flight was his design,
no matter whither; but he had deter-
mined to dismiss the cabman ere he named,
or even chose, his destination. This was
his cunning aim, and now with one foot
on the roadway, and one still on the
eoach-step, he made haste to put the
thing in practice, and plunged his hand
into his trousers pocket.
There was nothing there!
Oh, yes; this time he was to blame.
He should have remembered,*’and when
he deserted his blood-stained pantaloons,
he should not have deserted along with
them his purse. Make the most of his
error, and then compare it with the pun-
ishment! Conceive his new position, for
I lack words to picture it; coneeive him
condemned to return to that house, from
the very thought of which his soul re-
volted, and once more to expose himself
to capture on the very scene of the mis-
deed: conceive him linked to the moldy
cab and a familiarcabman. John cursed
the cabman silently, and then it occurred
to him that he must stop the inearcera-
tion of his portmanteau; that, at least,
he must keep close at hand, and he
turned to recall the porter. But his re-
flections, brief as they had appeared,
must have occupied him longer than he
supposed, and there was the man already
returning with the receipt.
Well, that was settled; he had lost his
portmanteau, also; for the sixpence with
which he had paid the Murrayfield Toll
was one that had strayed alone into his
waistcoat pocket, and unless he once
more successfully achieved the adven-
ture of the house of crime, his port-
manteau lay in the cloak-room in eternal
pawn, for lack of afee. And then he
remembered the porter, who stood sug-
gestively attentive, words of gratitude
hanging on his lips.
John hunted right and left: he founda
coin—prayed God that it was a sover-
eign—drew it out, beheld a penny, and
offered it to the porter.
The man’s jaw dropped.
“It’s only a penny,’’ he
out of railway decency.
“I know that,’’? said John, piteously.
And here the porter recovered the dig-
nity of man.
‘Thank you, sir,’’ said he, and would
have returned the base gratuity. But
John, too, would none of it; and as they
struggled, who must join in but the cab-
man ?
said, startled
‘“‘Hoots, Mr. Baigrey,’’ said he, ‘‘you
surely forget what day it is!’
“IT tell youl have no change!’ cried
John.
‘“Well,’? said the driver, ‘‘and what
then? I would rather give a man a
shillin’ on a day like this than put him
off with a derision like a bawbee. I’m
surprised at the like of you, Mr.
Baigrey !’
ts
“My name is not Baigray !’ broke out
John, in mere childish temper and dis-
tress.
‘Ye told me it was yoursel’,”’
cabman.
“I know I did; and what the
right had you to ask ?’’
happy one.
**Oh, very well,’’ said the driver. ‘‘I
know my place, if you know yours—if
you know yours!’ he repeated, as one
who should imply grave doubt; and mut-
tered inarticulate thunders, in which the
grand old name of gentleman was taken
seemingly in vain.
Oh, to have been able to discharge this
monster, whom John now perceived, with
said the
devil
cried the un-
tardy, clear-sightedness, to have begun
betimes the festivities of Christmas!
But far from any such ray of consola-
tion visiting the lost, he stood bare of
help and helpers; his portmanteau se-
questered in one place, his money de-
serted in another and guarded by a
corpse; himself, so sedulous of privacy,
the cynosure of all men’s eyes about the
station; and, as if these were not enough
mischances, he was now fallen in ill-
blood with the beast to whom his povy-
erty had linked him! In ill-blood, as he
reflected dismally, with the witness who
perhaps might hang orsavehim! There
was no time to be lost; he durst not lin-
ger any longer in that public spot; and
whether he had recourse to dignity or to
conciliation, the remedy must be ap-
plied at once. Some happily surviving
element of manhood moved him to the
former.
‘Let us have no more of this,’’ said
he, his foot once more upon the step.
*“Go back to where we came from.’’
He had avoided the name of any desti-
nation, for there was now quite a little
band of railway folk about the cab, and
he still kept an eye upon the court of
justice, and labored to avoid concentric
evidence. But here again the fatal cab-
man outmanceuvered him.
‘Back to the Ludge 2’’
shrill tones of protest.
‘Drive on at once!’ roared John, and
slammed the door behind him, so that
the crazy chariot rocked and jingled.
Forth trundled the cab into the Christ-
mas streets, the fare within plunged in
the blackness of a despair that neigh-
bored on unconsciousness, the driver on
the box digesting his rebuke and his ecus-
eried he, in
oe]
tomer’s duplicity. I would not be
thought to put the pair in competition:
John’s case was out of all parallel. But
the cabman, too, is worth the sympathy
of the judicious: for he was a fellow of
genuine kindliness anda high sense of
personal dignity incensed by drink; and
his advances had been cruelly and pub-
licly rebuffed. As he drove, therefore,
he counted his wrongs, and thirsted for
sympathy and drink. Now, it chanced
he had a friend, a publican, from whom,
in view of the sacredness of the ocea-
sion, he thought he might extract a dram.
And the charioteer, already somewhat
mollified, turned aside his horse to the
right.
John, meanwhile,
chin sunk
sat collapsed, his
upon his chest. his mind in
abeyance. The smell of the cab was
still faintly present to his senses, and a
certain leaden chill about his feet; all else
had disappeared in one vast oppression
of calamity and physical faintness. It
was drawing on to noon—two-and-twenty
hours since he had broken bread; in the
interval, he had suffered tortured of sor-
row and alarm, and been partly tipsy;
and though it was impossible to say he
slept, yet when the cab stopped, and the
ecabman thrust his head into the window,
his attention had to be recalled fron
depths of vacancy.
“Tf you'll no stand me a dram,” said
the driver, with a well-merited severity
of tone and manner, *‘I dare say ye’ll have
no objection to my taking one mysel’?’
**Yes—no—do what you like.’ return-
ed John; and then, as he watched his tor-
mentor mount the stairs and enter the
whisky-shop, there floated into his mind
a sense as of something long ago familiar.
At that he started, fully awake, and
stared at the shop-front. Yes, he knew
it, but when, and how? Long since, he
thought; and then, casting his eye through
the front glass, which had been recently
oecluded by the figure of the driver, he
beheld the tree-tops of the rookery in
Randolph Crescent. He was close to
home—home, where he had thought at
that hour to be sitting in the well-remem-
bered drawing-room in friendly converse:
and, instead—!
It was his first impulse to drop into the
bottom of the cab; his next. to cover his
face with his hands. So he sat, while
the cabman toasted the publican, and the
publican toasted the cabman, and both

A Ladder to Business.
From the American Storekeeper.
To ingenious clerks who have been fol-
lowing out the ideas we have been trying
to give through this column, we suggest
that some of the commonest objects of ey-
ery-day life offer excellent subjects for
window decoration. One of these is the
ladder. This may be carried out in al-
most any line of goods and ina great
many different ways in one line. We
recommend that our readers knock a
frame together which will bear a well-
proportioned size to the window, and
trim it up with some of the stock on
hand. We believe it can be made real at-
tractive.

basement building at 100 Louis Street,
near the corner of Tonia street and will

The change in location will be particu-

center of the jobbing trade of the city,
making it more available for all con-

wholesale dealers. The lateh-string will
be out the same as heretofore, but on the

ALL BUTTER OLEOMARGARINE.
A Boston dispatch. of

only necessary to refer to a recent case
in point happening in this city: Two
houses were bidding for the same trade
with a persistence seldom met with, even
in the jobbing business. The manager
of one house conceived the idea of hiring
the book-keeper away from the other
firm, and accordingly made such arrange-
ments with the employe, the latter
agreeing to deliver up to the new em-
ployer all the points he was able to pick up
regarding the business of the old house.
It was not his services the new employer
wanted, but the private information he
was supposed to possess—information
which should have been held as sacred as
life. The result was that the book-keep-
er secured a liberal advance in salary.
He understood that the advance was not
paid out of consideration for his value as
a worker, but because the new employer
placed a premium upon the. business
secrets he was, supposedly, able to de-
liver to the purchaser.
The sequel of the matter is that as
soon as the book-keeper was pumped dry
he was cast aside—not because his work
was not satisfactory, but for the reason
that the new employer realized that if he
could be bought once he could be pur-
chased again, and was consequently not
a safe man to entrust with the business
common to a mereantile establish-
ment. The man is out of employment
to-day, and is as much an object of scorn
to the business public as if he were a
traitor to his country. And so it will
always be with those who seek to build
themselves up at the expense of others!

THE CAMPAIGN AT AN END.
The campaign of 1888 is over. The
day of parades, conventions and mass-
meetings is past and the voice of the pol-
itician longer heard in the land.
The convictions, pro and con, upon the
main questions at issue, which hayé kept
up eontinual strife for months past
amongst the editors, the idlers at the
corner grocery, the workmen in the fac-
tory—and even in the social circle—these
convictions have at last had expression
at the polls, and the result will be known
on the completion of the canvass which

govern credit clerks in opening and clos-
ing accounts with customers: Do not

| statement over his own signature; do not
aman starting anew in business
who has not sufficient capital of his own
do not

do not trust aman who habitu-

trust a man who is a con-

rust a man who lives be-

How to Succeed

will similay
those unsuccessful men about them who
are commonly called *tunlueky,’’ being
unsuccessful, they will almost invariably
find it to be sloth, extravagance or drink,
or other folly. It will take one long
to discover why the ‘‘unlucky’? man has
not succeeded: he may and will, no doubt,
aseribe it f0,,3vant of “luck,? but
others who know his weakness of char-
acter will aseribe it to a more tangible
eause. The man of a fair intelligence,
of genuine courage, ready to take hard
knocks. to push toward the foremost
place ,to watch for and seize the oppor-
tunity, to work steadily at his task, to be

The Drummer Tax Case.
no
est,
is
i cence
In an opinion rendered by Justice
Bradley in the Drummer Tax case of
William G. Asher the State of
Texas, the Supreme Court of the United
State at Washington declared unconsti-
tutional all state laws imposing a license
| tax upon commercial travelers not resi-
versus
| dents of the state Imposing the tax. Ash-
" | er was a resident of New Orleans, and,
While selling goods by sample in Texas,
Was arrested and fined for violation of
the state law, making it a misdemeanor
for any person to do business as a com-
mercial traveler without having first tak-
en out an occupation tax. Asher contes-
ted the constitutionality of this statute,
taking the ground that it was repugnant
to the clause of the Constitution giving
Congress the exclusive right to regulate
inter-state commerce. ‘The state court
decided against him. Asher appealed
ithe ease to the Supreme Court, which
i has now given a decision in his favor.
| This case has been stubbornly con-
tested and its progress has been watched
with interest by wholesale merchants,
manufacturers and commercial travelers
| throughout the United States. The de-
| cision of the supreme authority will be
welcomed every where—outside of Texas

How to Wash Windows Properly.
Strange as it may seem, there isa right
and wrong way to wash windows, and as
this operation is usually dreaded, says a
writer in the Commercial Reporter, the
following method will doubtless be ap-
| preciated, as it saves both time and labor:
Choose a dull day, or at least atime
when the sunis not shining on the win-
dow, for when the sun shines on the win-
dow it causes it to dry streaked, no mat-
ter how much itis rubbed. Take a paint-
er’s brush and dust them inside and out;
washing all the woodwork inside before
| touching the glass.
| The latter must be washed slowly in
warm water diluted with ammonia—do
not use soap. Useasmall cloth witha
pointed stick to get the dust out of the
corners; wipe dry witha soft piece of
cotton cloth—do not use linen, as it
makes the glass linty when dry. Polish
with tissue paper or old newspaper. You
will find that this can be done in half the
time taken where soap is used, and the
result will be brighter windows.

Pennsylvania Grocer: In giving the list of pa-
pers which have aided materially in placing the
Retail Merchants’ Associations of the country in
their highly prosperous condition, we uninten-
tionally omitted THE MIcHIGAN TRADESMAN.
That our omission was unintentional is evi-
denced by a glance at our files. We have more
than once stated that the editor of THe TRADEs-
MAN, Mr. E. A. Stowe, personally organized 100
associations, as State Secretary has proved his
efficiency and capability, and that the merchants
of Michigan admit that a large share of the pros-
perity of their organization is the result of his
wisdom and sagacity.
The Buckeye Grocer suggests the formation of
a tri-state league by the State organizations of
Michigan. Ohio and Pennsylvania. Michigan
stands ready to co-operate with her sister states
at any time, but THE TRADESMAN is positive tha
it echoes the sentiment of the work-

THE JOHN VAN RANGE CO.
many years ago attained the reputation
of making some of the best goods in this
line, and they are among those who have
been successful in maintaining the posi-
tion then achieved. Nottoaim at how
cheaply a stove could be made, but how
well and how improved, has been their
desire, and a careful attention to detail
in every department of construction,
strict integrity and liberal treatment in
dealing with patrons has borne its legiti-
mate fruit, namely, a colossal business.
It is conceded by those who have trav-
eled that we carry the largest line of
John Van Steel Ranges of any house

The Michigan Tradesman
Incidents of a Traveler’s Career.
Written for THE TRADESMAN.
He was so nice—and he knew it.
He had on such elegant clothes—and
he knew that, too.
He had such winning ways with the la-
dlies—at least, he thought he knew that.
He satin the ladies’ coach and had
turned the seat so that he sat with his
dack to the engine and his face to the
people who occupied the car.
He sat twirling his dainty moustache
and ogling the ladies. It was mean for
the boy in the smoker to put up a job on
him and get a drunken woodsman to go
right up to our dandy and ask, in a loud
voice, ‘‘Say, Cha’lie, w’en ye git troo
usin’ my bD’iled shirt and my socks, you
jest send ’em back to me, will yer?’’
It was too bad, but his best girl was
just telling him that she would be ‘‘at
home’’ to him next Sunday evening, and
he was bidding her good-by and holding
her hand, softly sighing, when that great
big, raw-jointed farmer boy came in and
said: ‘‘My mau sez ez heow yeou’d bet-
ter git your babby some new socks!’
i * ial %
It was a small country store, but the
owner had ‘*’tended three sessions of the
district school,’’ and was postmaster and
judge of elections, and, you bet. no
*‘traveling peddler’’ ever got the best of
aim. So, when the representative of a
large dry-goods concern paid S4 to have
his trunks hauled out to this wise man’s
place of business and opened up his sam-
ples and waited two or three hours while
the dealer sold two yards of factory and
then had him come up, cast a quick but
knowing (?) look over the samples and
““Yes—nice line—nothin’ there I
want’’—why, there was amad_ traveling
man, that is all.
say,
“Charlie, you don’t ever flirt or make
love to women when you're away, do you,
dear?’’
“Well, I should say not. Who put
such an idea in your little head?’’
“Well, Mrs. Bunt said all traveling
men flirted.*”

They cost less than other Injectors.
You don’t have to watch them. If they break they
will RE-START automatically.
By sending the number to factory on the Injector you
can have parts renewed at any time.
They are lifting and non-lifting.
Hot pipes don’t bother them and the parts drop out by

In
stant she was at almost full length in the
an in-
bottom of the car. while the exclamations
of the passengers and the black looks
they directed at the extended stumbling
block should have caused its owner to
sink through the seat, for who does not
sympathize with a pretty girl in distress?
Quicker, almost, than she went down she
was on her feet again, and gracefully ac-
knowledged the courtesy of the gentle-
inan who surrendered his seat. Embar-
rassed she certainly was not, and I said
to myself there is a typical American gir]
who knows enough to make the best of
everything.
But her escort looked like thunder-
cloud and as if he would like to punch
the head of the fellow who had caused all
the trouble. But he didn’t. He content-
ed himself with occasionally stepping
vigorously on the still extended and of-
fending foot, without the least sign of
eonsciousness from its owner. Finally,
with a lurch from the car as an excuse,
the foot received another ferocious dig
that was so pronounced as to almost
twist the man out of his seat. Thinking
that perhaps he had really injured the
man, the escort muttered an excuse that
was received in great equanimity with
the gratifying explanation: ‘‘Oh, don’t
apologize; it’s a wooden one and used to
being stepped on.’’ And the young lady?
Well, she was as serene as ever, and ap-
parently oblivious to her surroundings.
and then the wooden leg got up and left

Why There’s a Crowd Before the Window.
One ef the latest novelties in advertis-

stead of the customary price marks be-
ing affixed to the goods displayed in the
stere window, to each suit pinned a
nice, crisp, new government bill, above
which is the legend: ‘‘This suit for—.’’
Quite a crowd sometimes collects before
the plate glass to hungrily gaze in at the
tempting display of wealth, which, alto-
gether, amounts to something over $50.

He resembles the late General Grant in

so marked is his peculiarity in this re-
spect that it is a source of considerable
wonderment how he managed to accumu-
late a competence in the retail trade—
competence which has developed into a
respectably-sized ‘bundle’ since’ he
jumped into the jobbing trade less than
a dozen years ago. He is nota man who
would attract friends by first impressions,
as his manner is not devoid of a certain
degree of coolness which serves to repel
those who suddenly seek to put them-

tion and action he combines the cunning
of the Yankee with the craft of a Bis-
marck. The leading spirit of three
large establishments and the nominal
head of two of them, he injects his indi-
viduality into the business in such a way
as to leave no doubt as to whose hand is
the helm. A money maker by in-
stinct, he devotes much time and
thought to his business that he takes lit-
recreation, which renders him
so petulant that he is sometimes inclined
to treat people rudely. If the rudeness
is overlooked, amicable terms are soon
restored, but anything savoring of re-
sentment turns the man into a roaring
lion, which it requires time to subdue.
He is a painstaking experimenter, and to
this fact is partially due the eminence he

his line in the country. Who is he?

BUSINESS LAW.
Brief Digests of Recent Decisions in
Courts of Last Resort.
BILL OF SALE—SECURITY—MORTG AGE.
A bill of sale of stock absolute on its
face will be held to be a mortgage where
it is given to secure a loan, according to
the decision of the New Jersey Court of
Chancery.
STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS—ACCOUNT.
The Superior Court of Kentucky held
that the two years’ statute of limitations
of that State applicable to merchants’ ac-
counts for goods sold did not apply to the
items of an account for hauling and mon-
ey paid out, for the reason that those
items did not concern the trade of mer-
chandise.
DISCRIMINATING STATE LEGISLATION.
The Supreme Court of New Hampshire
lately held, in the case of the State vs.
Wiggin, that a statute fixing the price of
licenses for the sale of lightning rods at
$100 to citizens of the State and $500 to
citizens of other states created a discrim-
ination prohibited by article 4, section 2,
of the Constitution of the United States,
which provides that the citizens of each
state shall be entitled to all privileges
and immunities of citizens in the several
States.
INSURANCE—HOUSE VACANT OR UNOCCU-
PIED.
An insurance policy upon a house con-
tained a stipulation providing that it
should be void if the house became va-
cant or ceased to be occupied as a dwell-
ing-house. The Supreme Court of Iowa
held that the policy was avoided where
the house was unoccupied between the
time that elapsed from the removal of a
tenant several days before a fire occurred
until the day of the fire, except by the
presence of the owner for a short time
during each day for the purpose of clean-
ing it.
INSOLVENCY—ENTRA-STATE ASSIGNMENT.
A Vermont corporation, being insolv-
et, transferred through an agent in New
York certain property situated in that
State under circumstances which, if made
in Vermont, would givé the transaction
the character of a fraud upon the insoly-
ency laws of the State of Vermont. The
transfer was valid under the New York
law. The Supreme Court of Vermont
held, in the case of Crampton vs. Valido
Marble Company, that the transfer was
mvalid, and that the assignee in insoly-
ency could maintain trover for the value
of the property. The question was one
wholly between citizens of the State of
Vermont.
BANK SHAREHOLDERS’
MEN.
The provision of the United States’ Re-
vised Statutes, making shareholders of
National banks responsible for all eon-
tracts, debts and engagements of such as-
sociations to the amount of their stock
therein applies to married women who
are such shareholders, according to the
decision of the United States Circuit
Court for the District of Vermont. The
court said: ‘The contract isthe contract
of the bank: the shareholders have noth-
ing whatever to do about making it. The
law annexes their obligations by its own
force; no act or capacity to act on their
part is required.’’
LIASILIVN- wo
PATENT--INF RINGEMENT--“‘SEERSUCKER.”’
Judge Shipman, of the United States
Circuit Court, has lately rendered a deci-
-sion of interest to the dry goods trade in
the case of Streat vs. White et al. The
plaintiff brought suit against the defend-
ants to restrain them from infringing a
patent for a design secured by the plain-
tiff for printing textile fabrics in imita-
tion of the woven fabric known as “‘seer-
sucker.”? Judge Shipman decided in fa-
yor of the defendants, holding that the
letters patent issued to the plaintiff for a
design for printing textile fabries, con-
sisting of stripes of solid block of color
parallel to and alternating with stripes
crossed at right angles by alternate dark
and light lines blended into each other
by shading so as to imitate the fabric
commonly called ‘‘seersucker,’’ were
void, it appearing that though the pat-
entee conceived the idea of the imitation,
which was not new, the actual invention
of the method of producing the imitation
by blending together the cross lines by
shading, which was alone novel, was en-
tirely the work of the designer and en-
graver in the factory of one Gilmore.

The High Price of Tailow.
Tallow has reached the highest market
price since the summer of 1885, being
quoted at 5!5 cents per pound for hogs-
heads and }5 cent per pound more for
choice quality. Very low values have
been the rule for about twelve menths
until recently, owing to a depression
which the average trader thought had
come to stay. But the supplies gradual-
ly fell off. on account of the marked de-
crease in the number of cattle slaughter-
ed, owing to devastating storms in the
West last year. Shrewd buyers took ad-
vantage of the situation and their large
purchases assisted to improve prices in
addition to reducing available stocks.
The buying on speculative account, while
comparatively small. was considered an
important factor in elevating prices, but
present holdings are insignificant, as con_
siderable stock has been released to fill
pressing orders from abroad. There has
been a noticeable increase in the demand
for choice tallow at the highest figure to
fill anew consumptive want. which is
now being developed, and may have an
important bearing on the market in the
future. A scarcity of all grades is also
reported in England and elsewhere on the
Continent, wherg American tallow con-
tinues tocommand attention in prefer-
ence to the home produet. It is believed
that large consumers, here and abroad,
arAwell supplied, as the movement is
light at the advanced prices; but the feel-
ing is still sensitive, and it would not be
surprising to see higher values. During
October, at least, the firmness was ex-
pected to continue, but beyond that time
traders would not venture an opinion.
Greases of all kinds have sympathized,
but not to a corresponding extent.
