The Silent Tongue.

Into the face of shoes that lace
They put a tongue
Narrow and thin,
And, though ‘tis long, it has no song
Or word to say,
But finds a way
To be of use—
Saves from abuse
The foot within.

As thro’ the world on foot you’re whirled
In mud or snow
By lane or street,
This leather tongue, so tough and long,
Tho’ deaf and dumb,
As oyster mum,
Keeps from the dirt
Or sidewalk spurt,
Your tender feet.
No baggy gore makes ankles sore
Or breaks away
Whene’er it will.
Stayed by a lace across its face
Supple and strong,
This voiceless tongue
Hides sock or skin,
And all within
Keeps well in place.

The tongues that talk and never walk,
But are for sale,
Have each a voice
To tell their tale, though oft of stale
Or ribald tone,
The silent one,
Tho’ seldom still,
Obeys your will
Without a choice.

THE PRUDHOMME PRIDE.

PART FIRST.

Bayville wondered what the Prud-
hommes lived on. Some people said it
was their pride. Yet one would think
there could not bea great deal of that
left. One would suppose that must have
melted away almost as fast as the prop-
erty.

The fine sweep of lawn, its elms cut
down, had been sold before Judge Prud-
hoome died to pay his sons’ debts. The
stately, box-alleyed garden had been cut
through by the railroad. The full-length
portrait of old Governor Prudhomme had
been ‘*parted with.’? To be sure, it had
been bought by the State, and was to
hang in the State Capitol—not at all an
ordinary business transaction, Mrs. Prud-
homme said. Most of all, James Prud-
homme had come home, and he was, cer-
tainly, not a thing to be proud of.

Pride, however, lives on a meager
diet. If the Prudhommes lived on pride,
and pride lived on the faded glories of
the Prudhommes, it may have been a
sorry story, but is may also have beena
true one.

The old house certainly kept up its
dignity, standing with its great wings
and Mount Vernon front in the dreary
solitude of acommonplace modern street.
Long lines of portraits still hung in the
hall. Brocade gowns, which had stood
before kings, and slippers which had
danced with Washington and Lafayette,
glorified the garret. There was believed
to be silver of untold value in the house,
and china in the deep, shady closets

which it was simply distracting to
think of.
Mrs. Prudhomme, or ‘‘Madame,’’ as

she enjoyed being called, though white-
haired and faded, still carried her head
like a goddess, as she did when she came
home a bride fifty years ago, bearing
upon it the honors of two proud fam-
ilies. Even now, on her rare appearances
in the streets, obsequious Bay ville—ob-
sequious, though critical—bowed low
before the old ark of a carriage, ignoring
the fact that coachman and steed were
Mike, the grocer, and his yellow nag,
hired for the occasion. Many persons
even bowed to the carriage when nobody
but poor James was within. And when
Miss Rachel drove out they did more
than bow—they smiled.

Miss Rachel, however, seldom did
drive out. She liked better to walk.
Every morning she stepped briskly down
the street to do ker marketing, and
would have carried a basket on her arm,
if her mother had allowed it. Some-
times of an afternoon, when her mother
was busy with Trollope’s latest story,
and James was out of mischief, Miss
Rachel would stray off quite alone into
the country and up the hill for a far
view of the beautiful bay and the sea
beyond. Once she had been seen run-
ning in the garden with her little dog for
company. But that indiscretion was not
repeated. Such behavior, Madame Prud-
homme said, was highly unbecoming a
young woman over twenty-five years old.
And so it was, Miss Rachel blushingly
confessed, and ran no more.

The evenings. and indeed the days,
were chiefly passed in the sober eld
drawing-room with James, if he hap-
pened to be at home, stretched on the
sofa where Washington had once sipped
coffee, and Madame Prudhomme stately
by the fireside, reading or dropping
stitches in her perennial afghans. There
was little conversation. James never
talked. Rachel’s little comments on Bay-
ville topics did not interest her mother.
After the daily paper had been read,
there was not much of common interest
to the three.

Madame Prudhomme. clicked her
needles and thought, not of her work,
but of those painful gaps, those dropped
stitches that fifty hurrying years had
left, and nobody could stop to mend.
Daily she went over that catalogue which
every mother carries next her heart.

Regina, John, James, Christina,
Charles, Joseph—at every name there
came a sigh.

Regina, the eldest, was not dead. She
lived in Europe. It was cheaper, she
wrote her mother, after you knew the
ways. Her husband, who called himself
a cosmopolitan, and spent his best years
playing dominoes at a dull, little German
bath, had nothing to callhim home. They
would stay for the present, certainly.

John—the less said about him the bet-
ter. He was dead now.

James—here he was on the sofa, come
home again.

Happy Charles and Christina died
young.

Joseph was shipwrecked on that last
voyage to the Islands, from which he
was to have come home with a compe-
tency and marry his cousin Jane. In-

 

stead of that, neither he nor the cilia
tency came, and Jane lived ten years |
and died.

At the last name on her list—Rachel—
Madame Prudhomme forgot tosigh. This
little maiden had come late to her}
mother—a November daisy, a_ kindly |
afterthought of heaven. To be sure she
was very little like the other Prud-
hommes—not much more than a daisy is
like a Victoria Regia. But then she was
always there looking you brightly in the
face. She made you think of spring.
She was ‘‘capable,’”’ too. She read well.
She picked up the dropped stitches. She
was Rachel!

If it had not been for James, even
these faded autumnal years of the Prud-
hommes might have been peaceful years.
But there was James, an obtrusive, a
sorrowful fact. If he had practiced evil
for himself alone, Miss Rachel thought—
if he had merely gone through the very
slim bank account and driven her to her
wits’ ends for the daily family supplies—
she could have borne it better.

But he did not confine himself to these
mischiefs. With the attractions and
graces of a gentleman, with the weight
of his honorable name and his superior
years, with his generosity and good fel-
lowship, he easily gathered about hima
bevy of admiring young men, the sons
of the rich business men of modern Bay-
ville. He could not talk to his mother
and sister, but he could keep a roomful
of these youths in breathless interest or
ecstatic laughter an entire night.

It grieved Miss Rachel to see these
young men drawn into her brother’s idle,
gross and evil ways. She set herself to
think what she could do about it. Many
an elegant little supper she contrived, at
the risk of several family dinners, that
she might at least keep the party fora
time in a sweet atmosphere and an inno-
cent house. She was much younger than
James, and a good deal afraid of him.
But in the face of his wrath and of her
mother’s proud displeasure, she would
sometimes have her brother’s callers
shown into the drawing-room, and keep
them busy through a long evening with
music, chat or a game of whist.

Miss Rachel felt particularly sorry
about Charley Newman, whom she had
known since they both were children.
They had been at Sunday-school to-
gether, and a bowing acquaintance had
since been kept up, though until of late
they seldom met. Young Newman’s
father was the richest man, and many
persons would have added the best man,
in Bayville. And Rachel believed her
old playmate to be good-hearted and in-
nocent, though just now a little wild and
thoughtless.

More and more frequently were James
Prudhomme and Charley Newman seen
together—on the streets, in the hotel
porches, at the Prudhomme mansion.
Oftener and oftener Rachel invited Char-
ley in when he came to the house, and
more and more cordial she became.
Madame Prudhomme was chillingly tol-
erant. She did not approve of these
upstart families. Mr. Newman she sup-
posed was a respectable man, an inventor
or something of that sort. She wished
James would not choose such compan-
ions, and she wondered Rachel encour-
aged him in it.

Still Charley Newman came and came,
and still Miss Rachel grew cordial and
delightful. She went for a sleigh-ride
with him and her brother. She coaxed
them to take her to ‘‘Pinafore,’’ instead
of going off with a so-called shooting
party. Once or twice she wrote a note
to her old playmate, arranging for some
meeting or slight festivity.

How should innocent Miss Rachel,
twenly-seven years old, guess that Bay-
ville, multiplying the sleigh-rides and
‘‘Pinafore,’’ the visits and the notes, had
quite made up its mind that the Prud-
hommes were about to mend their shat-
tered fortunes by an alliance with the
Newmans? How should she guess that
her brother had discouraged neither the
gossip in the town nor the hopes of the
young heir? How should she suspect
what those hopes might be till one sum-
mer day he found her alone, and she was
smitten suddenly with sore dismay ?

Miss Rachel was not experienced in
this feeling; but she recognized it. She
had had it once before, in her boarding-
school days, when the handsome young
minister fell at her feet and implored.
And so, half an hour later, this other
young man sadly went his way, and
Rachel Prudhomme, twenty-seven years
old, ran up stairs and cried—a sad lack
of the Prudhomme pride! But love was
sweet to the lonely little woman.

And then, how was Rachel to foresee—
to dream—what followed? The _ fort-
night’s hunting expedition—the desperate
flirtation with a pretty country girl—the
newspaper announcement which took all
Bayville’s breath away :

 

 

‘In Littleton, September 1. Charles Newman,
of Bayville, to Miss Flossie Brown, of Little-
ton.”

‘Tt left him there last week,’’ said
James, in explanation. ‘‘He said he
should marry her, now he’d gone so far.
He’s a young goose! And here’s all Bay-
iville gloating over the story that he’s
ibroken an engagement with you, and
|disappointed the Prudhommes! I hope
'you enjoy your work, miss. So much
| for not consulting your brother !’’
| Rachel had been breathless like all the
rest of Bayville, and speechless unlike
| them; but at this she found her voice.
‘Please understand, James,’’ she said,
|

 

‘that it makes no sortof difference to me
what the young men on the street say, or
; what anybody else says, of my affairs.
'T don’t understand this matter at all; but
|I know this—that the opinions and be-
\liefs of the young men of your acquaint-
‘ance, or, indeed, of the whole town, do
| not affect me in the least; and you know
\it, too, James.’’ The touch of family
| pride became her well, and James had
nothing but a prolonged whistle to offer
for answer.
One other person in Bayville had been
as ignorant a3 Rachel of the current gos-

 

sip. Mr. Newman, the millionaire, occu-
pied with extensive business and schemes
of far-reaching charity, had known too
little of late of his son’s pursuits and
whereabouts. It was in a puzzled and
uncertain condition of mind, most un-
usual with this man of business, that he
lifted the knocker of the old Prudhomme
house the day after James’ return. He
had learned enough to lead him to make
this call before pushing his investigations
farther.

Rachel saw Mr. Newman coming. She
Knew very well the tall and portly form;
she knew the fringe of grayish hair fall-
ing beneath his hat, and she knew the
bald spot that was under the hat. The
families had long been neighbors in
church, and, though she had scarcely ex-
changed twenty words with this man in
her life, she felt on quite intimate terms
with his face, it had looked pleasantly
upon her so many years.

“You will forgive my calling, Miss
Prudhomme,’’ he said, ‘‘though it may
seem to be upon my own business. My
son has been so much with your brother,
perhaps lean get alittle light here. I
don’t know what Charley has been doing
lately. He’s been rather wild, Pm
afraid. Dve neglected him, I’m afraid.
But, to tell the truth, 1 came chiefly to
say to you, Miss Rachel, that if my son
has been annoying you in any way—if
he has been thoughtless or too ambitious,
or troubled you in any way, why, I’ve
come to beg your pardon in his stead.”’

“Oh Mr. Newman,’ cried Rachel,
‘there is nothing for me to pardon. It
is all my fault—what passed between us,
Imean. And before that, I am afraid—
Charley easily led, and my poor
brother, you know—’’ i

“Yes, I know, I know,”’’ said the good
man, soothingly. He could not bear to
see this shadow of grief and shame on
Rachel’s’ fresh,» face. “] know: we
mustn’t judge too harshly. We mustn't
forget that there’s only One who sees the
whole life. Now, were you going to tell

is

me alittle more about that other, my
dear? Or would you rather not?”
fachel told the story with all her

blushes flying about her face, and good
Mr. Newman was by turns so very sorry
for Charley and so charmed with the nar-
rator that his own countenance was quite
a study in light and shade.

‘“T hope you will forgive my thought-
lessness,’’ she finished. ‘*‘I think Char-
ley must have done so, and I do so hope
this marriage—’’

“Well, we'll do the best we can about
the forgiving,’’ he said, with something
between a laugh and asigh. ‘‘And now
about this young couple. I shall start
this afternoon to catch them, and we
must make the best of it—make the best
of i! 2 thank you very mueh, Miss
Rachel—very much, indeed.”’

It was a day or two after this that the
postman brought Miss Rachel a letter:

My Dear Miss PRupHOMME—I have found our
young people, and I think you will be glad to
know that after a talk with each I feel much re-
lieved about them. The little girl seems sweet-
tempered and affectionate—just seventeen—and
she is very pretty. Charley had made arrange-

ments to go into business here, but has now de- |

ral od : ny ; familiar from her childhood.
The young people will live with me for ;

cided to go home and take a position in my
office.
the present. If you should feel inclined to give
my little daughter the pleasure of your ac-
quaintance, I should take it very kindly of you.
Yours sincerely, JOHN NEWMAN.

Miss Rachel did not often get a letter.
There were the regular family bulletins
from Regina, and now and then a few
lines to herself personally from her dis-
tant nieces or from an old school friend.
Her most precious treasures of this kind
were those that came to her long ago
from her brother Joseph during his voy-
ages. These she kept in a beautiful lit-
tle Eastern cabinet which Joe had him-
self brought her. When she had read
this new letter two or three times she
laid it away near those old ones, in a lit-
tle compartment by itself. And she
thought, as she did so, how she should
always value it as proof of a pleasant
camaraderie with a good man, and how
she should call on that ‘‘little daughter’’
as soon as possible.

PART SECOND.

 

 

The young mariied pair, having been
first sent to a sister of Mr. Newman’s, in|
New York. for the proper outfitting of |
the bride, came home to Bayville. Their}
father met them with the carriage in a|
state and elegance he seldom affected.
4s they drove up to the beautiful house |
on the hill, lights streamed out, servants |
stood waiting, a richly appointed dinner |
table gleamed at the end of the all, and |
the choicest rooms of the house stood |
ready for their use. Charlés Newman |
grasped his father’s hand in a corner, as
a man can grasp another man’s hand, |
and said, with a husky laugh, that if this |
were notacase of the prodigal son, it)
was certainly a case of the prodigal |
father.

Shortly after, cards were issued for a}
wedding reception at the Newman’s.

When Rachel’s came, Madame Prud- |
homme examined them with a stately |
amazement. |

‘Really quite an elegant affair,’’ she)
said. ‘You will have to send a refusal, |

 

Isuppose. There’s a little of that nice}
note-paper left in my secretary.”’
“But, mamma, I want to go,’ said |

Rachel, flushing up.

“Want to go? Rachel! You never |
did such a thing in your life. What are
you thinking of ?”

“TJ must tell her,’’ thought Rachel. ‘‘I
must certainly tell her something.’’? For
the little woman was quite determined
to go.

“But, mamma, dear,’? she began,
‘there is a special reason this time. Do}
you know ?—I have never told you, be-
cause it was so silly—but that young
man has been here so much, James and
some other people have thought that he
and I cared for each other. So, you!
see—”’

‘Nonsense! Who would think of my |
daughter caring for one of these towns- |
people ?”’ |

But Madame Prudhomme dropped the!

 

| crowd.

subject, and when she next took it up
it was with the question:

“What are you going to wearif you
go to that party ?”’

“The garret will settle that,’’ said
Rachel, gayly, and ran up stairs.

Nothing but a happy combination of
past wealth and present poverty could
have produced so charming a costume as
Rachel’s that evening. The garret had
yielded a soft-shining satin of nameless
tint. Over it fell lace that might have
made a duchess weep, and the single,
curiously-set gem that sparkled in its
midst was such as could not easily have
been purchased anywhere in the world
to-day. There was nothing new about
our little lady, except her gloves. and
flowers and the dimples that seemed
always freshly bubbling up on her bon-
nie countenance. Mike, the _ grocer,
acted as coachman, and Madame Prud-
homme insisted on old Margaret, in white
apron and cep,attending as maid. The
faithful servant sat dazzled in the bril-
liant dressing-room among the handmaids
of the house of Newman, and I hope she
may be shriven for the lies she told about
her family’s greatness and the magnifi-
cence of daily life in the Prudhomme
mansion.

Rachel had never had so good atime
in her life. She was twenty-seven years
old, but she had never had so good a
time in her life. It was a trifle dreary
for an instant going into the drawing-
room alone; but the host stood near the
door, and himself took her to his sister,
who was helping him welcome his
friends, and to the newly-married pair.
He introduced to her adelightful pro-
fessor, who told her about fossils, and
then a gentle youth, who roamed with
her through the great conservatories.
He himself brought her dainty ices, and
took her for a walk in the lighted garden,
where he left her with another delight-
ful professor. It was a distinguished
and brilliant company, for men of letters
and of science and women of high stand-
ing were proud to know this man of act-
ive mind, royal heart and upright life.
The host was everywhere, with his
kindly little jokes, his infectious cheer-
iness: and when Miss Prudhomme’s ecar-
riage was announced, and the shabby old
establishment stood exposed among grin-
ning coachmen in the brilliant light, it
was the millionaire himself who handed
her in as if it had been a chariot and she
a queen. Certainly Rachel never had so
good atime in her life! And all the way
home she had to pinch herself hard to
make sure that she was not a young girl
in a story book, but Rachel Prudhomme,
twenty-seven years old.

Life in the Prudhomme house now re-
turned to its usualecalm. Madame Prud-
homme was more rheumatie this winter,
and read Trollope and dropped stitches
up-stairs. Nothing more festive than a
Sunday-school teachers’ meeting ever
took place in the drawing-room. Mad-
ame Prudhomme approved of church and
Sunday-school, was glad to have Rachel
attend them, and wished James would do
Now and then a guest appeared of
the order with which Rachel had been
‘“*“My name

So.

is Smith; my grandfather married a
Prudhomme,”’ was a formula well known
to her. She knew how most quickly to

silence the inquirer by plunging him at
onee into the family documents. She
knew on just what top shelf of a remote
closet to place the genealogical volume
which was sure to follow (with compli-
ments) in due season.

Toward spring two distant cousins of
her father came for a stay of a week to
investigate and oversee repairs on the
family-tomb. This visit had a most re-
viving effect on Madame Prudhomme.
She sat down-stairs more than she had
for months. She even drove out to the
cemetery, and.in the evenings the three
gray heads were bent with great delight
over musty records of the dead. Rachel
felt very insignificant, but she could get
up very little interest in these far-away
people. Now and then, to be sure, some
brave deed or noble life shone out like a
jewell in the dust, and gave her a thrill
of proud delight; but, for the most part,
the present, dull as it was, anxious and
perplexed as it often was, interested her
more than the misty past. As for the
future, she seldom thought of that,
though a general rosiness seemed to suf-
fuse the horizon befcre her.

Trouble, however, new trouble,
the immediate foreground.

Late one afternoon a dingy, reluctant

was in

country wagon, covered with a black
cloth and followed by an_ increasing

crowd of men and boys, passed through
the business streets of Bayville and
stopped before the police headquarters.

The ‘‘ Patrons of Industry” Again.

“This reminds me of the time when
the grangers first started,’’ exclaimed a
jobber who caters to the co-operative
trade the other day, as he checked a set
of duplicate bills for a caterer to the
Patrons of Industry. ‘‘What fools the
farmers are,’’ continued the jobber, ‘‘to
think they can beat the merchant at his
own game. They might as well try to
beat the confidence man at the game
with three cards.”? Yetthe farmers con-
tinue to play into the hand of sharpers,
deserting the tradesmen who have served
them faithfully for years—in too many
eases leaving the merchant with old
accounts en his books.

THEY DID NOT BITE.
From the Howard City Record.

A man was in town acouple of days
this week attempting to organize a
society of the ‘‘Patrons of Industry,’’
the scheme, as we understand it, being
to secure with his organization as many
members as possible, they paying him
one dollar each. Further provisions in-
cluded an arrangement with one or more
dealers in a town to sell to members of
the order at a small per cent. above cost,
and show his bills to customers, if neces-
sary, to prove what the goods cost him.
As it appears to the Record, so far as we
have investigated, it is a good thing—for
the organizers, as they make a neat profit |

 

out of the work—but a very poor thing |
for everybody else, and those who let it
severely aione prove themselves to be|
possessed of very long and very level
heads. It has been tried at Cedar Springs, |
which place ean give other towns valu- |
able pointers in the matter. We are glad |
no business man of Howard City was}
roped into the scheme.

{

A FALSE BOTTOM.

From the Vermontville Echo. i
The organization called the Patrons of |
Industry is another scheme that is gotten |
up to trap farmers who will be made to
believe they are to have something for |
nothing. Those who join agree to buy
all their goods of one man or one firm at
10 per cent. above cost. But they don’t
make anything out of it; for they have
to pay a fee for joining to the sharpers
who organize the society, as does also
the merchant who is to receive the pat-
ronage. We heard one man say last
: week that a merchant he knew went into
| the scheme, and had the wholesalers send
him two bills—one to show his customers
and add 10 per cent. to the prices quoted,
and the other to remit by. In this way,
they had to pay a big price for goods and
jhad to pay the sharpers a fee besides.
| When a stranger presents anything of
| this kind to you, farmers, make up your
;minds that there is a false bottom to it.

Grand Rapids Mercantile Association.

At the regular semi-monthly meeting of the
Grand Rapids Mercantile Association, held at
Tye TRADESMAN office on April 16, H. M. Lies-
velt, of 559 Cherry street, and Peter Boyle, of 89
Canal street, were elected to membership.

The special Committee on Roll of Honor was
given until the next meeting to report.

The Committee on Entertainment was in-
structed to take the matter of the annual picnic
under eonsideration and report progress at the
next meeting.

The question of securing an increase in the
peddling licenses was discussed at some length
and made the special subject of discussion at
the next meeting.

Treasurer Harris introduced the subject of
paying drafts under the present method of the
local banks, which is taken up under another
head.

The Secretary presented the following com-
munication from John J. Foran, of Philadelphia,
taken from the Pennsylvania Grocer:

In a communication sent to your journal about
two years ago, I suggested that something might
pe done by the Grocers’ Associations, either by
the individual associations, or by the State asso-
ciations, to arrange for a fixed term of credit to
govern the purchases made of the dealers, mem-
bers of the associations, as well as the issuance
of rules, or the setting forth of the conditions
under which sales, for credit, could be made.
The idea met with your favor at that time and
was commended by THE MicHiGAN TRADESMAN,
and, having since been approved, so rumor has
it, by the board of directors of the Pennsylvania
State Association, it will, I presume, be sub-
mitted in some shape to the convention soon to
be held in Pittsburg.

In keeping with the thou 1 b
communication first sent you, I herewith submit
for the consideration of those who feel an inter-
est in the matter, a form of “‘rules” as well as a
“eard” of conditions, to govern the opening of
an account. Those, or any other rules or condi-
tions that may be adopted, should be, I think,
like the rules for the holding of a bank account
contained on the inside cover of the account
book. It might further be suggested that a com-
mon form of pass book could be procured for
the use of association members, and if ordered
by the State association, they could be furnished
to members at a minimum cost.

Of course, those forms here furnished are
merely suggestive. and the only purpose in my
submitting them at all is that I think they are in
the line of an improved condition of credit—such

ghts contained in my

 

as 1 believe it is the purpose, if possible, of the
associations to bring about. A “card of condi-
tions’ is more flexible than anything called
rules would be, for rules should never be made
with the idea, even implied, that they may be, if
desired, broken. One of the most necessary
things for every dealer to impress on his cus-
tomers is the fact that credit is really an accom-
modation only, and that in no case must it be
assumed to be a substitute for payment, as either
the ignorance of some buyers. the craftiness of
others, or the stupid timidity of some dealers
may make it seem. Trusting that some little
grain of seed may be found in this parcel of
chaff, Iam sincerely yours,
JOHN J. FORAN.
RULES.

In opening an account by the issuing of this
book it is distinctly understood that all pur-
chases must be governed by the following rules:

1. That a fixed length or term of eredit must
be arranged for on the beginning of the account.

2. That only by special arrangement with the
merchant or firm can this length of fixed time
or credit be exceeded.

3. Whenever convenient, it is hoped that heads
of families will make the purchases. This course
gives greater satisfaction to both buyer and
seller and tends to prevent mistakes and mis-
understandings.

4. Care must be taken not to let the book get
into the hands of strangers. An observance of
this rule prevents loss to both the dealer and
customer.

5. If itis bornein mind that satisfactory ser-
viee, good value for money spent, as well as
that pleasant relation that should always exist
between the merchant and his patron, largely
depends on the observance of the above condi-
tions. no trouble will be found in complying
with them.

CARD.

In opening an account by the acceptance of
this book our customers are requested to cbserve
the conditions under which all purchases should
be made:

1 That a fixed length or term of credit must be
arranged for on the opening of the account.

2. This fixed limit of credit must not be ex.
ceeded. Should any_ extraordinary occasion
cause the customer to desire longer time, it must
be had only by special arrangement with the
firm.

3. Interest is chargeable on all accounts that
may be extended by special arrangement. Jus-
ae to the prompt paying customers requires
this.

4. Whenever convenient, it is hoped that
heads of families will make the purchases. This
course tends to much greater satisfaction, both
to buyer and seller, and prevents mistakes and
misunderstandings.

5. To avoid loss, care must be taken that the
book does not get into the hands of strangers.

6. Cre vit, being a valuable thing to every one,
by guarding it well, satisfactory service, good
value for money spent, as well as that pleasant
relation that should always exist between the
merchant and his patrons, will be best secured.

Association Notes.

The Muskegon convention will probably be
held the latter part of July. Chas. Clarke, of the
Grand Trunk system, has been engaged to pre-
pare a paper on the subject, “The business man
and the railway and their mutual relation.”
Those who know Mr. Clark have a right to ex-
pect a very interesting and didactic treatise.

Hudson Gazette: A. E. Dean, of Adrian, whose
proposition to start a stave and heading factory
in Hudson was noted in the Gazette two weeks
ago, was interviewing our citizens on the project
again Monday. He would like to have Hudson
business men furnish $4,000 of $6,000 capital. It
was decided that Mr. Dean should investigate
the business still further, determine the exact
amount of capital required to start and operate
the factory, the number of men to be employed,
the wages to be paid, the probable profit, etc.,
and then lay his proposition before the Business
Men’s Association at a meeting to be ecalled for
the purpose of considering the same.

Boards of Trade--Different Kinds and
Objects of Each.

At the banquet of the Ohio Retail |
Merchants’ Association, held at Colum-)
bus last Wednesday evening, J. S. Mor-
ton, President of the Columbus Board of ,

Trade, made the following response to |
the ‘‘Board of Trade,’’? which treated the |

subject in so interesting a manner that |

: |
the editor of THE TRADESMAN requested |
the manuscript for publication—a request }

i

the writer kindly complied with:
I do not know what the gentlemen |
meant me to talk about when asked to!
respond to the teast, “The Board of |
Trade’?—whether it is the Columbus}
Board of Trade or boards of trade gen- |
erally. I presume that you do not wish |
me to confine my remar®s strictly to our |
own board of trade and will therefore |
ramble a little through the centuries. |
You will find a short account in the
new Testament of a board of money
changers who plied their vocation in the
temple at Jerusalem. This was a self- |
constituted board for the purpose of
making margins on the Hebrew half
shekel that the youth of Israel were re-
quired to contribute to the treasury.
Those Jews did not deal in pork margins
—they had not been to Chieago. During |
the reign of the Roman Cvsars, itis said |
that the merchants assembled in the mar- |
ket place to do their dickering at that |
early date in the good old times. These |
same dealers had acquired such a repu-|
tation for shrewdness as to cause the|
remark, ‘‘Beware of the merchants.”’
That. of course, could not refer to this
eminently respectable body of men now
before me, as I am quite sure ho one here
would sell oleomargarine for butter nor
give 15 ounces fora pound. This kind
of business is only indulged in by coal
dealers, dry goods men, and the like.
The first British board of trade was |
created by Charles the First, in 1636, at
which time the regulation of commercial
affairs was made a royal prerogative, in

are scorched and fall flat, gladif they es-
cape with theirlives. I knew a gentleman
in New York twenty-five years ago who
had made a fortune of $200,000 in dry
goods. He thought he wasas smartas any
Wallstreet man and he entered the arena.
He had been there three months, when
he put up his whole fortune in margins.
He had a pointer and he felt he was sure
to make amillion. Before night, he had
lost it all. ‘There was about as little left
of him financially as the man who died
in Texas. His friends in the East were
telegraphed, ‘John Smith is dead.’’
John’s friends wired back to send on the
remains. The answer came, ‘‘There
ain’t no remains. He was kicked by a
mule.’? Moral—Stick to legitimate bus-
iness methods. It may bea little slower,
but you will reach bankruptey soon
enough, or should success crown your
efforts, your pile will be more securely

| anchored.

As to our own Board of Trade, gentle-
men, it has alwas been doing good, but
this is no indication that it will die
young. Its membership pays four-fifths
of the taxes of Columbus and it is only
four years old. When this young giant
says it wants a street improved, a sewer
construeted or a bridge built, it means
that itis able and willing to pay for the
improvement. It encourages the City
Council to act; it convinces the Legisla-
ture that we mean what we say and are
entitled to what we ask. Every business
man, professional man or property owner,
belongs to it, or should belong to it, as a
membership in it is valuable. Boards of
Trade of this character are useful and
patriotic. They furnish a medium to do
a great many things that can not be done
by city governments. They encourage
manufactures, help to build railroads,
stimulate public improvements and ad-
vertise our special advantages to the
world. Since its organization, the city
has grown 50 per cent. and improved over
100 per cent. Boards of Trade are the
fashion. and nearly every city, town and
village has one. Those that are without
one are behind the times and, like Rip

 

personal attention, as he resides at Bat-
tle Creek, the entire management devolv-
ing upon Mr. C. N. Rapp, who was the
father of the enterprise and has been the
leading spirit ever since its inception.
The change in ownership, therefore,
leaves the house in practically the same
hands it has been in since the start, and
the trade may rest assured that orders
entrusted to the house will meet with
the same painstaking attention as in the
past. Mr. Metzger was engaged in the
produce business at Sturgis for several
years and for the past year has carried
on the same business here. The partners
are both well adapted for the business
and the new house will undoubtedly take
a commanding position among the trade.

THE BUSINESS MAN IN POLITICS.

 

Just at present there is a great demand |
for the business man in administrative
offices. We aretold that the salvation of
the country depends on the introduction
of business methods into all the depart-
ments of the Government. This is es-
pecially impressed on us by some re-
formers, who are not
that no great business in this country is |

aware of the fact

administered with so much honesty and
efficiency as is the government of the
United States. What would we gain by
the introduction into our government of !
the abuses which cling so persistently to|
the management of every great business |
corporation? The notion that business
life is the especial illustration of honesty
and efficiency in this country can
cherished only by those who choose to
shut their eyes to the facts reported by

| to our elections. As a matter of fact. that

 

the newspapers. The tone of business!

be kept in mind that there are two sides’
to every important executive office. The.
proper work of administration is much|
the easier and simpler half of its duties.
The difficult and really dangerous half
is the administration of the ‘‘patronage’”’
of the office, in view of its effects on the
political situation. Now not one bus-
iness man in a thousand has a close
enough acquaintance with the complex-
ities of our political life to appreciate
this fact, and to walk warily along the
pitfalls which surround the bestower of
patronage. In this respect the business |
community is very much to blame. It is
too much absorbed in making money to
take an intelligent interest in the work-
ing of party machinery. Were it other-
wise, we should see business men chosen

and they would be far better qualified to
administer them. If there are in the
House of Representatives only twenty-
four business men, it is because they are
representatives of a class who do not
care to go thither.

tralian method of voting, in the common

but intimidation of voters, which cer-
tainly is not a crying evil in this country.

are myriads of honest and trustworthy| they find that the rascals who take

men in every walk of business life, it is
not to the influence of their business that
they owe these virtues. It is because
they resist the temptations of their bus-
iness, and refuse to darken their con-
sciences by accepting the maxims which
are too generally recognized as limiting |
personal obligation, that they take rank
as honorable men. It, therefore, is not
the part of wisdom to take for granted
that a business man, as such, is certain
to secure upright and honest administra-
tion of our governments, national and
local. It very much depends on the kind
of a business man he is.

The recent defeat of Mayor Roche, of
Chicago, carries with it an important
lesson to business men. Mr. Roche is
personally a man of estimable character,
and before entering upon the office he
had acquired a large experience in bus-
iness. It is admitted that in some re-
spects he did not belie the promise of his
candidacy. He carried business methods
and principles into the administration of
his office. So far as the discharge of the
proper duties of the mayoralty were con-
cerned, nothing could be better than his
administration. He retires from office
without a smirch on his record for hon-|
esty, faithfulness to his immediate
duties, and other business-like virtues.
But all this did not prevent his defeat.
and the turn-over of the city government |
to the opposite party.

Mr. Roche owed his nomination toa

 

group of political managers, who had the |
shrewdness to profit by the new cry for |
the introduction of ‘business methods” |
into governmental administration. And |
from the outset he acknowledged the ob- |
ligation his promotion laid upon him. |
In the selection of his subordinates and |
the general management of patronage, |
he consulted his ‘friends.’ We do not |
know that he allowed them to appoint |
bad men to office; but he took care that
his appointees were “their men.”’ With |
every month of his administration, the |
grip of the, so-called, ‘Ring’? on the city |
was increased, and the prospect of |
breaking its power became more and
more remote. As a consequence, the In-
dependent voter became restive, and
when it came to re-electing Mr. Roche,
the people who gave him his majority |
before either stayed away from the polls
or voted the other way. In this they fol-
lowed the rule that it is always safe to
vote agasnst objectionable men who are |

in power, even although their opponents |
are no better than they. Every party, in
turn, is thus made to suffer, until one can
be found which will do what is right.

In another respect Mr. Roche showed
what are the probable weaknesses of the
business man in public life. In the
course of the big strikes on the Chicago
railroads he did not conceal his personal
sympathies with his own class—the cap-
italist class. In no part of the country
is it more necessary for the local author-
ities to steer with an even keel than in
Chicago. And if the Chicago street rail-
roads are as indifferent to the welfare
and the lives of their employes as are!
those of other great cities, the great |
Strikes in that city havea good deal of
justification. Mr. Roche did not think |
so. Like employers too generally, he |
could see no side of a strike but the in-|
convenience of it. His management of |
it left a bad taste in the mouths of the |
working classes, and bore fruit when he |
solicited their suffrages a second time.

Mr. Roche’s case also shows that a|
business man in public life, without any
close acquaintance with the practical |
workings of politics, may be the most
convenient tool possible for the friends
of machine government. It must always

bribes are loyal to the promises they
make to the rascals who give them. And
in England, as the Andover Review re-
minds us, the Australian system was in
force for several years and two general
elections had been held with it, when
parliament passed the corrupt practices
act, which has been really effective for
the suppression of bribery. This law
strictly limits the amount of money a
candidate may spend upon his election
expenses, and requires of him a sworn
statement of every penny he has spent,
and of every person he has employed,
with bills and other vouchers for every
outlay exceeding two pounds. The
amount is proportional to the size of the
constituency, and when several candi-
dates are running in partnership as be-
longing to the same party, the amount is
proportionally reduced. The much
greater number of elective officials and
the use of committees to represent the
collective interests of the parties, would
make the application of such a restric-
tion more difficult in America. But it is
the only law that has had any effect in
England. Yet it does not cover or re-
strain the operations of such organiza-
tions as the Primrose League of Tory
women, who have taken an active part
in politics since Beaconsfield’s death.

 

Only thirteen members of the Can-
adian Parliament voted to censure the
administration for assenting to the meas-
government
$400,000 by
way of compensation for their confis-
cated property. This disposes of the
fear that parties would break up over
this question, and a great struggle be-
tween Protestant and Romanist would at
once begin. In fact, it puts a quietus to
the whole matter, which isa very good
thing for Canada. The Jesuits, however,
are not paid yet. The Quebec treasury is
empty,and it seems impossible to raise suf-
ficient taxes to pay the ordinary expenses
of the government, let alone undertaking
the payment of old arrears of this
kind. Although the Dominion govern-
ment pays each province a portion of its
revenues proportional to its population,
Quebec has been in a condition of unin-
terrupted impecuniosity for years past.

LEISURE HOUR JOTTINGS.

Written for THE TRADESMAN.
BY A COUNTRY MERCHANT.
§ Ihave no fellow-feeling for the indi-
vidual who never rode a hobby. The
man who can contentedly shut himself
up like a clam in his business shell, and
go through life with no other desires or
aspirations but such as are suggested by
his daily avocations, may have his own
peculiar way of extracting comfort and
enjoyment from existence, but, from my
particular point of observation, I cannot
understand how he does it. But, whilelI
claim hobby-riding to be almost a mental
and hygienie necessity with a majority
of people, lam equally ignorant of the
way in which multitudes of them derive
pleasure and satisfaction in bestriding
hobbies that are distasteful to myself,
but as I know they do, and as I have
{ some grave doubts regarding the quality
of the clam-shell fellow’s enjoyment, I
am solidly of the opinion that, where
the rider doesn’t degenerate into a crank
or a bore, and uses his mount with reas-
onable discretion, that his life journey is
materially more pleasurable and satis-
factory.

All of which is intended as a sort of
an excuse for the fact that I have
mounted a number of hobbies during my
life, some of which have afforded me an
immense amount of satisfaction, while
others have admonished me that the in-
dulgence is oftimes attended with de-
pressing financial loss, and disgust at the
neglect of using reasonable discretion
and common sense. Among the latter is
a mild mania which has for years, and
still continues to be prevalent, among a
great many traders and clerks—viz., the
collection of odd and rare coins. My
experience in this matter, having been
somewhat exhaustive, may serve to be of
some practical benefit to beginners in
this very fascinating pursuit, and may
possibly save them from recklessness and
extravagance in following it.

The beginning of the ‘‘coin craze’’
asually commences witha small assort-
ment of foreign coins, which have found
their way into the till. Probably not
one of the pieces has the remotest rarity,
but they are viewed by their owner, in
his numismatic ignorance, as the nucleus
of a valuable private museum. Then
his talk on the subject leads
friends and customers to the exhibition
of ‘‘pocket pieces,’’ which he secures if
possible, after paying from fifty cents to
a dollar for coins which can be bought
for $2 per hundred of the brokers. After
a while he runs across a coin dealers cat-
alogue and begins to buy liberally of
packages of foreign brass and copper
put up in fifty-cent. or dollar lots, which
soon loads him down with dozens or
hundreds of useless duplicates. And
about this time the craze strikes him in
earnest, He becomes tired of looking at
foreign coinage, and determines upon
making a complete American collection—
the work of a lifetime and an expensive
pastime for a wealthy man. As ninety-
nine rare pieces out of a hundred are in
the hands of collectors or dealers, it nat-
urally follows that inflated, and often
excessive. prices must be paid, and even
then excessively scarce dates are prac-
tically unobtainable. The skeleton of
an American collection—the more com-
mon pieces—is usually gotten together
first at anominal expense, but, after
this, the filling up, even partially, makes
a serious inroad on the finances. A man
has, for instance, 1798, 1800, 1803 and
1805 copper cents, which cost him about
a quarter each, but when he wants to
sandwich in 1799 and 1804, he finds it
will cost him some $20 to $30 for good
specimens. And if, as is just possible

various

 

in the case of copper, he completes his |
dates, he almost invariably discovers that
his collection must be weeded of |
punched, battered and badly worn pieces |
to be at all desirable, and this entails an-
other long and expensive job. But
when the silver collection is attempted, |
and the rare specimens are sought for,

the coin crank usually finds that he has!
taken a contract which his means will!
10t enable him to complete. When he}
finds that a certain five-cent issue cannot |
be reached under $150; that a dime will

at least, cost, and probably at a premium,
should I desire todo so, but when the
time came to prove this I found that fif-
teen years’ experience, as something
more than an amateur, had left me al-
most totally ignorant regarding the im-
mense difference between selling an buy-
ing prices. After partially losing inter-
est in the pursuit, and discovering that I
must, as a matter of prudence, either in-
vest in a burglar-proof safe or sell out, I
determined on the latter course. I ac-
cordingly spent all of my spare time for
three or four weeks in making a com-
plete catalogue of my pieces, and then
mailed it to the firm from which I had

purchased several hundred _ dollars’
worth of specimens, and solicited an
offer for the lot, which was ‘made

promptly, and for some four thousand
coins I had a bid of less than fifty of the
choicer specimens had cost me. Appli-
cation to other dealers brought forth
about the same result, and showed con-
clusively that there was a general ‘‘com-
bine’’ among these parties. It last I de-
termined to the lot at auction, and
consigned it to an ostensibly reputable
firm in one of the Eastern cities, who
agreed to catalogue and dispose of the
collection to the highest bidders for 25
per cent commission. When the collec-
tion wasreceived my ‘‘agents’’ wrote me
that it wouldn’t pay to make a sale of it,
and kindly offered me about bullion value
for it, but, after along delay and much
correspondence, the auction came off.
Now, to show beginners in the ‘‘eoin
craze’? their chances for speculation,
should they combine the idea of eventual
speculation with present amusement, I
will select ten coins from my collection,
and give the buying and selling price:

short line to Helena; the only Pullman and din

reaches Miles City, Billings, Bozeman, Missoula,
the Yellowstone National Park, and, in fact,
nine tenths of the cities and points of interest in
the territory.

The Northern Pacific owns and operates 621

$125, while to complete his ‘‘Americans’’

Revision of the Pharmacopeia.

Robert Armory, President of the phar-
maceutical convention of 1880, has, in
accordance with custom and the duties
of his office, issued a call for a general
convention to assemble in Washington,
D. C., at noon, May 7, 1890, for the pur-
pose of providing for arevision and pub-
lication of the Pharmacopeia of the
| United States. The bodies who are en-
| titled to representation in this conven-
| tion are as follows:
| The several incorporated medical so-
| cieties, incorporated medical colleges,
incorporated colleges of pharmacy, and
incorporated pharmaceutical societies
| throughout the United States of Amer-
'iea, the American Medical Association,
!and the American Pharmaceutical Asso-
‘ciation, each of which may elect a num-
| ber of delegates not exceeding three;
and the Surgeon-General of the Army,
Surgeon-General of the Navy, and the
| Surgeon-General of the Marine Hospital
| service, who will appoint each not ex-
ceeding three medical officers.

 

These bodies are requested to transmit |

to the President of the convention of
1880 the names and residences of their
+respective delegates, as soon as_ they
ishall have been appointed. A list of
| these delegates will be published for the
information of the medical and pharma-
'eeutical public, in the newspapers and
| medical journals, in the month of March,
1890.

A list of the bodies which took part in
the convention of 1880 is published in
the Pharmacopeia of that date, and all
those institutions which have come into
existence since then and are entitled to
representation, or which, though entitled
to do so, did not then take part in the
deliberations of the Congress, should
/send, along with the credentials of their
| delegates, legal proof of their incorpora-
| tion. signed by properly qualified public
| officials of the United States, or by the
| Secretary of the State under whose au-
thority their charter was issued.

All bodies entitled to representation,
and desiring same, should send their cor-

once to Robert Amory, care of Dr. Ed-
|ward H. Brigham, assistant
Boston Medical Library,
| Place, Boston, Mass.

| Particulars Concerning the ‘‘Feculine’”’ |

Factory.

MUSKEGON, April 22, 1889.
A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:
DEAR StrR—As the erection and opera-
tion of a factory for the manufacture
of potato starch can hardly be devoid of
interest to the readers of THE TRADES-
MAN, ashort description of this new in-
dustry may enable the public in general
to more fully comprehend its value to
the locality in which it is situated, and
especially to the farmers in the vicinity,
| who will find a ready market for their
potatoes.
| The article to be manufactured will be
brought into the market under the name
and trademark of ‘‘Feculine’’ potato
starch and will be made by a new and
much improved process. Its manufac-
| turers claim that it will be of a purer
|/and much better quality than that now
| manufactured in the eastern states. It
is used largely in the cotton mills, but is
also exceedingly valuable for laundry and
culinary purposes, being tasteless and
| odorless, and forming a clear and trans-
parent starch when mixed with boiling
water, and on this account will undoubt-
edly, in many instances entirely super-
sede corn starch. In the form of sago, it
finds a ready market, being in great de-
mand in the middle and eastern states.

The main building is to be 160x92 feet,
partially two stories in hight, the steam
engine being seventy-five horse power.
The factory is to be supplied with all the
modern improvements and conveniences,
upon some of which the company has its
special patents. Besides the main build-
ing, there are to be two or three smaller
buiidings for storage and other purposes.
The situation in Lakeside, now in-
cluded in the city of Muskegon, and has
a lake frontage of 258 feet and ample
railroad accommodations. The factory
will be finished and in running order by
ithe ist of June. It will be known asthe
Michigan Feculine Factory, and the firm
name will be Van Deinse, Reiseger & Co.

NEEDED LEGISLATION,

 

Sought by the Members of the Grand
Rapids Jobbing Trade.

A delegation of Grand Rapids jobbers
visited Lansing one day last week in the
interest of three bills which they would
like to see enacted on our statute books.
One is an amendment to our present as-
sigament law, introduced and cham-
pioned by a Southern Michigan repre-
sentative. Another is an amendment to
the homestead law, as follows

The people of the State of Michigan
enact: That section 2 of chapter 267 of
veg Annotated Statutes, being sec-
tion 7722 of that compilation, be amended
to read as follows:

Sec. 2. Such exemption shall not ex-
tend to any mortgage thereon lawfully
obtained, but such mortgage or other
alienation of such land by the owner
thereof, if a married man, shall not be
valid without the signature of the wife to
the same, unless such mortgage shall be
given to secure the payment of the pur-
chase money or some portion thereof.
And if any person owing debts shall pur-
chase a parcel of land coming within the
general description of a homestead as
defined in this chapter and shall give in
payment or part payment. therefor,
directly or indirectly, any money or per-
sonal property partly or wholly unpaid
for, and the purpose of such purchase
shall be to defeat the collection of such
debt or debts by holding such land asa
homestead, no homestead shall thereby
be acquired by such debtor nor right of
dower by his widow in such land, but
the same may be sold for the satisfaction
of such debt or debts. This act shall
apply although a portion of the money
or property directly or indirectly given
in payment for such land would other-
wise have been exempt from sale on ex-
ecution. The exchange, directly or in-
directiy, of money or personal property,
wholly or partly unpaid for, for land
coming within the general description
of a homestead as defined in this chap-
ter shall be prima facie evidence that
the purpose of the exchange is to defeat
the collection of such debt or debts.

The third measure is presented as an

amendment to the present attachment

porate titles and a list of their officers at | Provisions, as follows:

The People of the State of Michigan
enact: That act 229 of the Session Laws
of 1861, being chapter 275 of Howell’s
Annotated Statutes be amended by add-
ing one section thereto.

Sec. 32. Whenever the plaintiff shall
be entitled to a writ of attachment by
virtue of sections one and two of this
act, except that the debts owing him by
the debtor is not due, he may begin and
prosecute his suit by attachment by
complying with the provisions of this
act: Provided, however, that before any
such writ of attaehment shall issue the

| plaintiff or some person in his behalf

shall make an affidavit in compliance
with section two of this act, except that
instead of stating that such indebtedness
is due such affidavit shal] state when the
same will become due and show reasons
for the immediate issuance of said writ
to the satisfaction of the Circuit Judge
or in his absence from the county where-

'in such application is made, of a Circuit

Court Commissioner of said county, and
obtain his order indorsed on such affi-
davit that such writ may issue and be
proceeded with, and no other or further
affidavit shall be required: Provided,
also, that on taking judgment on such
indebtedness, if before due the same
shall be for the present worth of the
debt.

As will be seen by a careful perusal of
the measures above given, both are just
and equitable and their enactment by
the Legislature will result in a lasting
benefit to every honest dealer.

The Milk in the Cocoanut.

WoLcorrtrviL_eE, Ind., April 17, 1889.
E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:

DEAR SirR—In acknowledgement of
your statement concerning the sale of
liquors in my pharmacy, I would say that
since the opening of my present store I
have carried no liquors in stock, nor do I
expect to in the future, with the excep-
tions of alcohol and sherry wine, for
pharmaceutical preparations. I do not sell
the alcohol or wine to any person. J am
a comparatively young man, but, com-
mencing the drug business when quite
young, I have been able to get about
fourteen years’ experience. During the
years of 1883, 1884 and 1885, I was pre-
scription clerk for G. W. Wisher, of
DeLand, Ala. The store was doing a
general retail drug business of about
$20,000 per year and we sold no liquor
at all, not even in asmall way behind
the case, as is customary with too many
pharmacists. We carried none in stock,
only what was required for pharmaceuti-
cal preparations.

I will acknowledge that occasionally
the druggist will feel sorry because he
has no liquors to accommodate a good
friend or make anew customer, but he
oftener feels glad, especially when he
sees aman reeling along the pavement;
and when the grand jury meets, he noed

not be afraid of having to pay out a
month’s profit, or, perhaps, more for
fines.

How many druggists would sell liquor
if it wasn’t for the profit on that alone?
I don’t believe one-tenth would do it that
do do it now. Yours,

CoRWIN F. MILLER.

Wool, Hides, Furs and Tallow.

Wools are quiet at reduced prices.
There is no activity and nothing to stim-
ulate trade.

The hide market is at a standstill.
Recent failures so weaken confidence
that none will venture beyond actual
wants, and they make those wants small.
Again, banks tend to curtail their lines
on leather as collateral, which forces
present stock on the market, while, on
the other hand, leather cutters have had
good orders and are taking quite freely,
prices being low enough. It is evident
that lower prices must be had for the
tanner to get a new dollar for an old one.

Tallow is plenty and dull.

Furs are in good demand.

The Drug Market.

There are few changes of importance
to note this week. Quinine is steady,
but isa trifle firmer. Opium and mor-
phia are unchanged. Paris green ad-

The Michigan Tradesman:

THE PRUDHOMME PRIDE.
[CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE. ]
for James to have had with him in any
natural way. She enquired among the
young men of his acquaintance, but
could get no clue. She was on the point
of advertising the sum as found, but she
decided to send first for Mr. Newman.

‘“*You have been so kind,’’ she said, “I
am going to trouble you still more.’’

‘Precisely the right thing for you to
do,’’ he answered. ‘‘] am very glad you
sent for me. I know a good deal, of
course, about such matters—being in my
sort of business, you know. And I hap-
pen to be informed of all the circum-
stances in this particular case. The
money is yours by every right.”’

Rachel still looked puzzled.

‘We business men mustn't tell tales,
you know. But we know a good deal.
We have facilities, you see. And now I
wish you would promise me, my—my
dear, that if you are ever troubled or in
doubt about any matter of business,
you'll send for me.’’

Rachel! looked up in his good face, be-
lieved him with all her heart, and prom-
ised.

Mr.
man.

 

 

Newman was,in general, a happy
But one thing made him miser-
able, and that was trouble of any kind
which he could not relieve. The rub-
bings of that bald spot on his head, the
wrinklings of his broad ahd sunny coun-
tenance and the deep ponderings of
heart which went on within him as he
watched his little neighbor in church and

thought he saw a deepening shadow
on her face, were such as might have

threatened a permanent gloom had it not
happened that there were a good many
other poor and troubled people in the
world, and more especially a young pair
at home to be knit together and made
happy in every possible way.

At last, the good man hit upon a strat-
egem by which, he thought, he might get
the better for a time of even the Prud-
homme pride. He encountered Rachel
casually at her gate one morning and
stopped furafew words. ‘I beg your
pardon, Miss Rachel.”’ he said at last, ‘but
there’s that poor Historical Society of
ours.’’ The millionaire took off his hat,
rubbed his head, and looked as unhappy
as he could make himself look. ‘‘You
see we've got a big list of officers and an
elegant hall and plenty of capital, but I
declare we haven't so much as a case full
of things to show—things that are really
historical. ve been thinking that if
you could—if Madame Prudhomme could,
you know—make up her mind to part
with some of the interesting things in
your house—that urn, for instance, that
Washington had coffee out of—or, well,
*most anything—why, it would be im-
mensely valuable to us: and I know she
was once prevailed upon to let the State
have that portrait—’

The good man rubbed his head again
and tried to keep up adespondent ex-
pression, but he was delighted ata
gleam of relief hethought he detected in
the face before him that it was a most
transparent fraud, or would have been
to one less personally interested than
Rachel.

She half suspected him at first, but
much contriving was beginning to make
her mercenary, and suspicion was lost in
a swift calculation of the comforts that
old urn would bring her mother.

“| dont know, Mr. Newman,’ she
said. ‘‘Thank you for thinking of it??—
she really could not help thanking him,
he looked so good—‘‘I will ask mamma
and Jet you know what she says.”’

What Madame Prudhomme said
this: No! She should certainly noi
think of such a thing. She wondered
the man could ask. That Prudhomme
urn, to be sure, sold to a little society of
tradespeople! But Miss Rachel, as I
have said, was certainly growing mer-
cenary, and at this juncture she showed
herself capable of finesse. Her mother
now sat up stairs altogether, and never
looked at the silver. Rachel le t the old
urn in the baize-lined box, butshe rubbed
up atankard of equal age and had it
ready to snow Mr. Newman when he
called for his answer. ‘‘l really think,’’
she said. laughing, ‘‘it had quite as much
to do with Washington as the urn, for l
have been looking into the old journals
somewhat, and I think that particular
um went to another branch of the
family.”’

‘wever mind, Miss

‘Anything that can

add a couple of
know—that’s all

that’s needed now-days!’’ He might
have been some glorified miser chuck-
ling over his gains. ‘‘And if you ever

think of anything else you can possibly
spare, why—that Historical Society is so
poor, you see—it would be such a favor.”’

And now again the days went on more
monotonously, it seemed, than ever be-
fore. Even the genealogical gentleman
seemed to come more rarely. Even the
Sunday-school teachers’ meetings were
less frequent, for Rachel was more and
more confined to her mother’s roOMm and

 

bedside. Acquaintance with Charley
Newman’s wife had been progressing
all this time, and the development of the

affectionate little country girl into a
pleasing young woman, and the growing

 

content on the husband’s face, were|
among the happiest circumstances of |

Rachel’s life at this time.

The young pair were now in a home of
their own, and Rachel found herself
taking a matronly interest in their little!
housekeepingexperiments. It was novel
and sweet to her to have the right to feel
so familiar a concern in the affairs of
any one outside ihe family.

The problem of daily life grew
easier. But Rachel remembered |
promise, and more than once she took |
pity on the Historical Society, which
body, through its president, certainly re- |
warded her most handsomely for
offerings.

At last there came a day when sorrow
and loss crept closer than ever before to
this woman’s heart—when the mother’s
beautiful, proud head lay low, and the
poor little heart-chilled daisy stood alone
in the autumn wind.

It was so very still and empty in the
house when all was over. Kindly rel-
atives had lingered, but the last was now
gone. The last letter of sympathy was
laid aside. Friends had been thoughtful.
Houses of cousins all over the land stood
open to her for visits of indefinite length.

nothing but kindly words
Charley Newman and his
up fresh flowers in her
rooms, fresh kindnesses in her heart.
These things eased the pain, perhaps,
but they did not fill the emptiness.

She sat alone one morning, and the
world looked very bleak. The door-bell
rang, and the clouds suddenly lifted. At
the same momenta friend camein. ‘‘I
have been so sorry to be away all this
time,’’ said Mr. Newman, ‘‘so very sorry,
Miss Rachel.’’

“But now you have come back,’’ said
Rachel, smiling. They said a few words
about his journey. He asked a few
questions in his sympathetic yet cheery
tones on the subject nearest her heart.

‘‘But I came this morning to ask youa
question,’’ he said at last. ‘‘I am sure
you will answer it frankly and freely,
and—and kindly. And if you can an-
swer it as I wish, I shall—I shall be very
happy. Your home broken up. I
came—I came to ask youif you could
make up your mind to come and make a
home forme? I hardly need to tell you
about myself. You know it all, I think,
Ihave worked with my hands a large
part of my life. My grandfather was an
honest man, I believe, but you never
heard his name. I’m a widower; you
know that, too. My wife died twelve
years ago.””

A vision. of Mrs.
natured face and rather striking cos-
tumes passed before Rachel’s eyes. But
it was quickly shut out by the earnest
face bending over her.

‘‘Maria was a good woman, and I loved
her,’”’ said the widower, loyally; ‘‘butshe
wa’n’t a—a rosebud !”’

Newman’s good-

Rachel by this time deserved the
simile. She was one bewitching con-
fusion of blushes, smiles and tears.

And here was this good man
her to speak.

Miss Rachel paused in her sewing the
next day. ‘‘I do believe,’? she said to

herself—‘‘I do believe lam doing that
dreadful thing, marrying forahome. I
am! A home means to me love and
honor and obedience. I am! 1 eer
tainly am! I wonder, too, what Regina
will say. I must write her at once.’’

Regina said, in short, that she was
very much surprised. On what the
house would bring, Rachel could live
very genteelly in Europe. She knew
nothing about this Mr. Newman, but she
presumed he was a good man. She sent
a Swiss carving for a wedding present,
and hoped her sister would be happy.

And was this the end of the Prud-
homme pride? Iam not so sure of that.
The last time I was in Bayville, passing
the Newman place, I saw a little
maiden—six years old, perhaps—who
earried her head like a duchess, and who
bore at the same time a striking resem-
blance to the elderly man by her side. A
lady came out on the lawn to meet them.
I thought she looked proud of them
both. Ithought the Prudhomme pride,
instead of dying, had begun a new and
healthier life.

Brief Digests of Recent Decisions in
Courts of Last Resort.

PARTNERSHIP ASSETS—LEASE.

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
held, in the recent case of Brown vs.
Beecher. of Chicago, that a lease for the
term of fifteen years with the sole and
exclusive right and privilege of boring
for oil at a fixed rent or royalty was a
chattel real, that being made by one of
the members of a partnership it became
partnership assets, and that any assign-
ment of it would be subject to partner-
ship debts known to the purchaser.

MARRIED WOMAN’S NOTE.

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
held, in the case of Baker vs. Singer
manufacturing Co., that the act of Feb-
ruary 29, 1872, providing that all con-
tracts made by married women in the
purchase of sewing machines for their
own use should be valid and binding,
did not authorize the entry of ajudgment
on a judgment note given by a married
woman which judgment note did not
show that it was given for a sewing
machine.

PUBLIC

The question was raised, in the case of
Buxton et. al. ys. Travers, whether a
person acquired by occupation of unsur-
veyed lands of the United States a right
of pre-emption which iat his death de-
scended to his children. The Supreme
Court of the United States decided this
question in the negative. Itsaid: Set-
tlement upon the public lands in advance
of the public surveys is allowed to parties
who intend when the surveys are made
to apply for their purchase. If within a
certain time after the surveys and a re-
turn of the plats to the local land office
the settler takes certain steps required
he acquires, for the first time, a
right of pre-emption to the land, that is,
aright to purchase it in preference to
Until then he has no estate in
the land which he could devise by will
death would pass to

LANDS —— PRE-EMPTION RIGHTS.

WAREHOUSEMEN’S LIABILITY — RECEIPT.

A firm of warehouseimen received from
another firm a quantity of flour and exe-
cuted to the latter a receipt for the same
which stipulated that the flour would
‘be delivered only on return of this cer-
tificate properly endorsed and the pay-
ment of charges and insurance.’ The
second-mentioned firm indorsed and de-
livered the warehouse receipt toa savings
bank in return for a loan. The ware-
housemen afterwards delivered the fiour
to some person without the return of the

receipt. The Supreme Court of Indiana
held, in the case of Babcock et al. vs.
Peoples’ Savings Bank of Evansville,

that the bank was entitled to the posses-
sion of the flour or to its value, and that
the warehousemen could not be heard to
dispute the bank’s title nor to aver that

 

they did not receive the property on the
terms specified in the receipt.

INSURANCE—HUSBAND AND WIFE.

A point of some interest was decided
by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
in Brown’s Appeal. In this case it ap-
peared that one Sandt, a citizen of Penn-
sylvania, insured his life in a New York
insurance company. The policy was
made payable to his wife, with the pro-
viso that in case of her death before the
decease of her husband the insurance
should be payable after her death to her
children for their use, or to their guardian,
if under age. In 1875 the husband and
wife joined in an assignment of the
policy to one Brown. In 1884 the wife
died, leaving her husband and children
surviving her, and in 1888 the husband
died. The insurance money was claimed
by both the assignee and the children.
The court awarded the money to the
children. It said that while the assign-
ment by the wife transfered all her in-
terest, that interest was contingent on
the fact of her surviving her husband.
She could not dispose of the rights of the
children. who were as much parties to
the contract as the wife. As tke wife
died before her husband her interest
ceased to exist, and could no more sur-
vive in her assignee than in her adminis-
trator.
