VISNER, 167 No. Ionia St.,Grand Rapids, Mich. EARNING ONE’S CAPITAL. Deacon David Speers was taking his after-dinner smoke. Perhaps the long clay pipe looked a little incongruous with the handsomely furnished room and the massive silver plate on the mahogany sideboard. But for that matter, the deacon himself was an incongruity—a little, common-looking man, not very well dressed, with a Rob-Roy bonnet on his head, and knitted, gray worsted stockings on his slippered feet. Cer- tainly a very wide contrast to the hand- some, stylish-looking young fellow who interrupted his reverie by a very frank and noisy— ‘**Good evening, uncle. Can I talk a while with you?’’ ‘*That depends, Robin, on what you’re gaun to talk about. I’m no’ in a mood for clish-ma-clavers.”’ “T want to talk about business, uncle.” ‘‘Humph !”’ “You know, uncle, that Aleck Lang and I have been long friends?’’ ‘IT have heard so. I don’t know it.”’ ‘“‘Well, we have. To-day, Aleck came to tell me that he is going into the carpet- weaving business in Kilmarnock. Hein- tends to buy Thomas Blackie out.’’ ‘“‘Hech! He’ll need some bawbees for that.” “His father will help, and he asked me to join him. What do you think about it? ”’ ‘‘How long have you been wi’ Hastie?” ‘Five years.” **And how much have you saved?” ‘Well, to tell the truth, uncle, nothing at all. What with Jessie marrying last year and Rosa this and the presents I had to give and other expenses, my savings went away.’’ ‘*Humph!’”’ “I thought, perhaps, that as the busi- ness was such an old, sure one, and as both the Langs would be interested in it, you would lend me two thousand pounds, for such a wonderfully good chance! ”’ The old man removed his pipe, and looking Robin in the face, he said: “Thave made it a rule never to lend money to young men.” “A very unkind rule, when it touches me, uncle. You were never unkind to me before.” ‘Tam no’ unkind to you now, either, Robin.” ** Only two thousand, uncle! a chance! ’’ ‘Guid heavens, hear the lad! ‘Only twa thousand!’ Did ye ever earn twa thousand pounds? Did yeever save twa thousand pounds? When ye have, Robin, come to me an’ [’Il talk wi’ ye aboot lend- ing ye the sum.” “But, uncle, the thing is not a new venture; it is sure to pay.” “Itis agun to ha’e new masters; an’ men at sixty arna sae sure aboot things ‘payin’ as lads of five-an’-twenty are.”’ So the young man went away much dis- appointed and not a little angry; but other friends looked more favorably on the plan. The two thousand pounds were borrowed, and Robert Rae and Aleck Lang bought out the old-estab- And such lished carpet-weaving house of Thomas Blackie. The first year the concern, in spite of falling prices, did very well. Robert’s share of the profits not only gave him a good living, but paid his interest, and allowed him to lay by nearly one hun- dred pounds toward clearing off his ber- rowed capital; and the next year things were still brighter. In the fourth year of the enterprise, Robert Rae called again on his uncle. He was sitting smoking in just the same dress and attitude. ‘Good evening, Uncle David.” **Good evening, Robin. ness? ”’ “First rate. I don’t come about business.”’ ‘*Hech! What for then?” ‘“‘T am going to be married. to tell you about it.”’ “That’s a mair kittle risk than Blackie’s business, Robin.” “I think not, uncle.’’ ‘*Wha’s the lassie? ’’ ‘Jessie Lorimer.”’ ‘The minister’s daughter? ’’ “Vos.” ‘“‘What tocher has she? ”’ ‘‘Just her beauty and her noble nature; she is of good family, too, and has had the best of educations. Why, unele, she ean do most anything—paints, plays the harp, and—’’ “T’m feared she’ll be a kind o’ matri- monial luxury, Robin. But she’s a bon- nie bit lassie; I ha’e seen her; yet I doubt if she’s fit for a puir man’s wife.”’ ‘*You’ll come to the wedding. Uncle?” ‘*Surely, surely.” It was a very grand wedding, uncle Speers made quite a sensation by giving the bride acheck for five hundred pounds. Indeed, Jessie seemed to have quite cap- How’s busi- to-night I wanted draws, sings like an angel, tivated the old bachelor, and he soon be- gan to spend a great many of his even- ings in her pretty home.

He sought information from all he met, and when they arrived in New York he had a very clear idea of the direction he ought totake.

Yes, I am thinking about it.”’ ‘*Yon’ll not be wanting a partner, eh?” |, “If I ean get the right kind.” ‘‘Would I do?” “You! Unele!’ ‘“*‘Well, yes, laddie: an’ you needna’ scorn at me. lll put a hundred thousand to your fifty, an’ we’ll ca’ the firm ‘Rae & Speers.’ ”’ “You could not leave Scotland, uncle.” “Was I thinking o’ sic a daft thing?

We'll put every- thing on paper, and I’se hold you strict- ly to the bargain.” The proposal, made half in banter, finally assumed a very real shape, and it was agreed that when Robert returned to America he should start a new manufac- turing firm under very different auspices from those of his first venture. But the past was only once alluded to, and then David introduced the subject. **You’ll be thinking, Robin, very like- ly, o’ the day when I wouldna’ lend you the twa thousand pounds.” ‘*You were quite right, uncle; no man ought to borrow money until he knows the difficulty of making it—and of saving it; young men can’t know these things; they belong to experience.” ‘“‘You had that lesson to learn then, Robin, an’ I thought ye might as weel learn it o’ ither folk aso’ me. One fool whiles teaches anither fool, an’ both grow wise together. Sandy McClure lent ye that twa thousand, and he was nane the waur o’ the lesson ye gave him. There would be fewer young fools if there were mair wise elders.”’ So Robert’s visit was a great success, and the old man shed the last tears he ever shed on earth when he brde the children good-bye. ‘“*‘You’ll tak’ care o’ wee Davie for my sake, Robin,” he said, tenderly, holding the lad proudly by the hand, ‘‘for when I’m no longer to the fore, you'll let my name stand i’ the firm, till he’s ready to|- tak’ my place; so then the hundred thousand will aye be in David Speer’s name.’’ And to-day the house grows and pros- pers, and is known far and wide as the firm of ‘‘Robert Rae & David Speers,”’ though old David has long been gathered to his fathers in Kilmarnock kirk-yard. Robert’s early failure has brought forth alate and splendid success, and, better than this, his kind-heartedness has al- most become a local proverb. “J make it a rule never to lend money to young men, but if you want to go West or South I'll buy you a ticket and give you fifty dollars. If the right stuff isin you, that is enough; if not, it is plenty to make ducks and drakes of.” But somehow very few young men that Robert Rae helps do make ‘‘ducks and drakes” of his fifty dollars. In many and many a case it has been an ample founda- tion for a good life and a good fortune. Young men, earn your own capital. AMELIA E, BARR. CINSEING ROOT. We pay the highest price for it.

If purchased, he proposes to cut 75,000,000 feet on the limits this fall and winter and bring the logs to Saginaw, but the deal has not yet been closed. Boyne Falls—The steady market and remunerative prices always paid for gin seng root have impelled some of the farmers in this vicinity to attempt to cultivate it. Last year Mr. White plant- ed some seeds gathered by himself, but they did not come up until the following summer when they sprouted and showed every sign of vigor. This would seem to prove that it takes two years to start the seed, but there is every evidence in this case that its growth is much more rapid once it is started than is generally supposed. Saginaw—A large number of shingle mills in Northeastern counties have gone out of commission the past two years, but quite a number of new ones have been built. There will be a gradual de- crease in the output but the falling off will not be as greatas looked for. Two new mills have been built at Beaverton; one is now being “put up at Bulman; a new one has been started at Farwell; G. B. Wiggins has started one in Gladwin county, and one or two others have gone into commission on the Gladwin branch of the Michigan Central. Cheboygan will also largely increase the shingle out put this season. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. Fora great many years doctors pro nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Seience bas proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Ha'l’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon- ful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials Address F.J.

THE MICHIGAN TRADESMAN. by, or under, the tenant, or taking pos- session from him as hostile landlord, or moving in after his removal from the premises; and all who are in possession under the tenant may be joined with him as defendants. A lessee may maintain summary pro- ceedings for possession against a former tenant who holds over, or against another tenant wrongfully put in possession by the landlord, or against his subtenants. Proceedings may be maintained by a married woman respecting her separate estate, or against one who contracts m her own name; and our Supreme Court has held that a widow may sue in her own right and as guardian of minor heirs. Proceedings may be maintained under a guardian’s lease by the ward after at- taining his majority, or by his grantee. Infancy is no defense to an action of this kind. This remedy in favor of landlords is founded on breach of contract, express or implied, and it must appear that the conventional relation of landlord and tenant has existed. Summary proceedings to recover pos- session of leased premises are not al- lowable if the tenancy has not expired, or has been renewed or continued by consent, express or implied, nor where the action of ejectment would not lie; nor where there has been no lawful de- mand or notice to quit; nor before the expiration of the time allowed for notice; nor where the tenant has lawfully at- tornied to the holder of a paramount title; nor against the lessor to obtain posses- sion under the lease; nor in favor of a landlord who is in* partnership with the tenant; nor in favor of the wife’s tenant against the husband; nor in favor of a seller against a purchaser in possession who has broken an executory contract; nor against a tenant who has contracted to purchase; nor against a tenant who enters without consent after surrender- ing possession, nor, in general, where the relation of landlord and tenant does not exist. The summary remedy is not intended as a substitute for the action of eject- ment, and consent in the lease to sum- mary proceedings cannot give jurisdic- tion not given by statute. In proceed- ing to apply this remedy, our Supreme Court has held that the complaint must allege all the facts necessary to give the court jurisdiction, and special damages not alleged cannot be proved. The ten- ant cannot plead in defense any matter of recoupment, counterclaim, or set-off. He cannot prove title in himself by parol, but deeds of conveyance are competent evidence. The right to recover double rent or treble damages cannot be extended be- yond the terms of the statute, but are allowed when the statute so provides. Our Supreme Court has held that the plaintiff is entitled to judgment for costs and damages, notwithstanding a re-entry by him pending suit. Where the officer uses violence in en- forcing the writ, our Supreme Court has held that the landlord is not equally lia- ble with him, although he has been so held in some of the other states. I have now reached the end of the series on ‘‘Landlord and Tenant.” If there are any of the TRADESMAN’s sub- scribers who have not read this series, but who have been wise enough to pre- serve their papers, they will be able to pick up many a crumb which will be worth more to them in dollars and cents than the cost of the TRADESMAN for a number of years. Since this series was started, a drug- gist at Edmore informed the compiler that information gleaned therefrom per- taining to what constitutes a tenant by the year, and tbe kind of notice required to terminate such a tenancy, saved him from a prospective lawsuit and the an- noyance and expense connected there- with. The nine numbers series should be carefully preserved for future reference, for, sooner or later, they will prove of great value by furnish- ing just the information wanted. E. A. OWEN. _—— >-o << — Solid With the Servants. From the New York Herald. An enterprising grocer has discovered a novel and highly suecessful way to secure and retain the custom of all the servant girls in the neighborhood. He bought at the price of wastepaper a large quantity of yellow covered ‘‘penny dreadfuls’’ and uses the single sheets for wrapping purposes in such a manner as will enable the girl after a certain amount of trade to secure the complete story. Some very strange dialogues can be heard in the store. The following will suffice for examples: ‘*A loaf of bread, please, and wrap it in ‘The Orphan’s Woe,’ page No. 5.’’ ‘“‘A lamp chimney and give me ‘The Blind Man’s Curse,’ third sheet.’’ ‘*Oh, my dear sir!’ pleads another girl, ‘‘couldn’t you give me another copy of ‘Slim Jim, the Boneyard Terror?’ Our dog has eaten the other.’’ ‘‘Why, how was that?” ‘‘Well, you see, sir, my missus did not know the value of the story and wrapped some scraps in it for the dog and he swallowed the whole lot, paper and all.’’ ‘Here, miss, is your soap,” continues the grocer, turning toa third customer. *“‘And please observe the wrapper. It contains the thrilling story of ‘The Crim- son Stain, or the Marble Bride.’ You shall have the continuation when you come again. And turning to his assist- ant, he continues: ‘‘Here, Hans, mark down the lady for ‘The Crimson Stain,’ second sheet. She has bought the soap.” containing this ee A Financial Manager. Mrs. Peterby is a woman with a head for business. ‘‘Just see here. I have bought a beau tiful rocking chair at auction worth $3, and I only paid $2 for it; so you see I have $1 clear profit. Don’t tell me after this that women have no business sense.’ “Do you need the rocking chair?” asked Mr. Peterby. “Ne? “Then why did you buy it?” “To save money, of course. How could I have saved that dollar if lL hadn’t bought it, ’'d like to know? ”’ > 2 i Use a Coupon Books. Hardware Price Current.

Written for THE TRADESMAN. As stated in my last, any standard of human success which is not practicably attainable by all honest men is a false one. Such a one is that based on the ac- quisition of wealth. If there were no employes, there could be no employers and, consequently, no amassing of fabu- lous wealth by individuals. That all men cannot become wealthy is true and proves that the acquiring of wealth can- not be a true test of human excellence. Andrew Carnegie has accumulated forty millions in twenty-five short years, but it was gathered by the brain and brawn of thousands upon thousands of his fel- low men. I find no fault with this faet— I'simply claim that, inasmuch as it was utterly impossible for all of the thou- sands connected with the Carnegie branch of human industry to become wealthy, the fact that Carnegie himself has accu- mulated a pile is no evidence that his life has been a truly successful one; and whether he is entitled to the plaudits of his fellow men, or whether they are due the humble workman who lives in the little cottage on the banks of the Monon- gahela, depends altogether upon higher and worthier consideratlons than the mere hoarding of riches. Let us not be blinded by sentimental- ism and led a passive or willing captive by acapricious publie opinion. Let us open our eyes and remove the rust from our neglected ‘‘thinkers’’ before we take up the popular cry of the multitude. In a certain village there are eight gro- cers. Statisticians tell us that only about 5 per cent. of those engaged in business succeed. This means that only two-fifths of one of these eight grocers will make a success of it; or, in other words, one of the eight will come within six-tenths of succeeding, which means, I suppose, that he will manage to live, pay expenses and make some money. If ev- ery dollar in the surrounding country required for groceries were drawn to the village, and the trade equally appor- tioned among the eight, it would be im- possible for any one of them to make any money—the volume of trade is too limited to make plethoric eight bank books. Now, these eight firms are not in the grocery business for the fun of it, or for the betterment of their health—they are there to make money. One only partial- ly succeeds, while the other seven are written up as failures, and wise men and successful men ascribe the cause of their failure to incompetency, dishonesty, a lack of the get-there-or-die-in-the-attempt sort of stuff, and to a thousand and one other reasons. These wiseacres can tell us just how they all might have become rich, and they even accuse the partially successful one with sins of omission and commission as being the cause of his partial failure. They say, ‘“‘The early bird catches the worm,” but they seem to overlook the fact that the worm in this case was only about two-fifths grown, and that when the greedy bird gobbled it up, the other seven, whether they were} early or late, had to get along without worms. Suppose some merchant should adver- tise for a bookkeeper, and, as a result, twenty applicants should respond. Of course, nineteen-twentieths of them would be disappointed, and only 1 or 5 per cent. of the number succeed. Now, sup- 2 THE MICHIGAN TRADESMAN. 9 pose some visionary old croaker should proclaim from the house tops that, if the nineteen disappointed ones had adopted the same tactics that the successful ap- plicant had employed,they would all have succeeded, he would be taken for an es- caped lunatic; and yet the seven un- successful grocers are censured by trade essayists for not overcoming the inevita- ble and acquiring the unattainable. lam pretty well acquainted with the retail trade, and hold too high an opin- ion of the average grocer to believe, for an instant, that the 95 per cent. who fail to win success according to the world’s standard do so for the lack of any possi- ble qualifications. It is simply impossi- ble for all to get rich. The case cited is fairly representative of the condition of things everywhere. The fact is that eight coneerns are striving to obtain what would make one fairly well off, two prosperous and would keep three on a sound paying basis. All are doing their level best, in their own way, to win, but conditions are such that seven of their number must, of necessity, go under or remain on the lower shelf. Who wins? Is it the one who always has a kind word for the unfortunate, a touch of sympathy for the afflicted and a helping hand for those in distress and need? No. Is it the man who, at the close of the day, locks his business cares with his goods and wares and devotes the evening to the cultivation of his moral and social in- stinets and the fellowship of his family? No. Is it the man who is strictly honest and truthful? Oh, no; but it is the man who catches the early worm and the mid- night bug; the man with a cast-iron will, a heart of adamant and a dead conscience; the man who wears a perennial smile and puts on a face to suit each customer. Such a man never eats, drinks or sleeps when he has a chance to scoop in a dol- lar. The Almighty Dollar is his god and his bank book is his bible—in short, the man who gains the world’s honors is the meanest, the greediest, hardest, most un- social and most unmerciful contestant of them all. ‘Eternal vigilance is the price of lib- erty,’? a boss crow once shouted, and the multitude has been echoing it ever since; but eternal vigilance is exercised as diligently and as persistently by as many who fail to reach the coveted goal as it is by the few who win. The exer- cise of vigilance on the part of a business man is to be commended everywhere and at all times as a qualification that is ab- solutely indispensable, but, althongh it be never-ending, it is not always the price of liberty, as thousands of over- worked, care-crushed and broken-down business men can testify. If eternal vig- ilanee be the price of liberty, these dis- heartened ones would have paid for it with compound interest long ago. The rich fasten their talons in the earth like a rapacious bird of prey. The masses look at them with wonderment and awe, made intensified by the mighty distance intervening between them. But there comes an end to all things, and, when existence is drawing toa close, the con- sciousness of a life well spent, and of duty well performed, will make the retro- spection of life far more satisfactory, and render the dying pillow softer, than a knowledge of the mere fact of having accumulated millions.

Noone who has been many years in fail to observe, among a certain class of people, a lack of faith in the genuineness of goods offered for sale. This feeling oftenest finds expression in business will those who attempt to cheapen some arti- It is so easy to decry the quality, in order to reduce the price, that many thoughtlessly do so, not reflecting that it is the poorest policy for the buyer to pursue. Any article in the drug line, to have value, must be as actually represented. ele they wish to purchase. There may be two kinds of a drug bearing the same name one in the crude state for common pur- poses and the other refined for medicinal use, but neither adulterated with any element to change its natural therapeutic effect. Whoever needs a drug for medi- cal use should be able to procure it in a pure state whereever goods are usually kept for sale. The purchaser should know that it is for the interest of the druggist to deal in the best goods, irrespective of cost, and should at least such give him the same confidence shown to the peanut vender or candy peddler. Excessive competition, added to the doubts of ignorant buyers who disparage for revenue only, will in the end lower the standard of quality in any product. Indeed, it is true, for the most part, that, whenever adulteration has been found in products of any kind—whether medicine, food, clothing, or the thousand and one articles of taste and luxury— they were directly instigated by a univer- sal mania for cheapness, regardless of how quality was affected. As a natural result, the moral tone of producer and distributer was lowered, since he found there was no pecuniary object in furnish- ing the best of anything so long as merit provoked only doubts and disparagement. There are too many in the world who doubt the existence of honesty in any one supposed to have a personal or pe- cuniary motive for being dishonest. Such doubts have their origin in joking com- ments on certain trades, professions and industries, and are reiterated until un- thinking people begin to believe them true. For instance, it is taken for grant- ed that if the manufacturer of any given product has an opportunity to debase the quality of such product, without easy detection, he will surely do so for the added gain thereisinit. Again, should any single druggist be found selling the cheap preparations of cinchona bark for pure sulphate of quinia, the whole class of doubters are ready to charge that all pharmacists make such substitution a! common practices. Some of those who advertise patent) medicines pander to and encourage this | degrading habit of libelling human na- ture in the persons of those who, above all others, ought to possess the confidence of the public. The proprietor of Bid- lack’s Compound Catholicon spends thou- sands of dollars, a part of which goes to scatter seeds of doubt in the minds of wished-for customers, who are advised to be credulous only as to this medicine, but distrustful as to every other or any one who recommends it. They are told that men of vile character will seek to counterfeit the true remedy and palm off their dangerous decoctions instead. And all concerned are advised that their only safety lies in noting the private mark attached to the genuine medicine. Every- one is also warned to beware of the drug- gist who will (unless constantly watched) play a false game and sell some worthless substitute that has not the proper name blown in the bottle. Of course, he knows that none of these charges has any foun- dation in fact, but it serves to impress on the public the idea that his medicine must be of superior merit to attract such persevering opposition and unworthy competitive methods. In fine, it is the same old story so dra- matically rehearsed by the genius of Dickens and played over again in real life. The dear people are assured by Codlin that he, and none other, is the friend, and Short is the gay deceiver to be shunned. So the warning is tossed from one to the other, like a shuttlecock, as often as Codlin or Short temporarily holds the ear of the public. What won- der, then, if customers standing in front of the druggist’s counter, and reading in the advertising matter there provided what such distinguished purveyors to the wants of humanity have to say of each other, declare their unfaltering be- lief that nothing in the drug line can be depended on to be as represented. The one who knowingly and without cause weakens the faith of the public in the integrity of those whose calling is to supply pure products of prime necessity is as much an enemy of society as the corrupter of youth. He may, also, find that his own dwelling is constructed of vitrious material, against which the mis- siles he so carelessly hurls may rebound to his injury. As a business policy, it will be found unprofitable in the long run and should be relegated to the class that originated the practice and still con- tinue it as fakirs at county fairs. Still, outside of business rivalries, there is a flippant nihilism much too prev- alent to-day—not the material kind, like that which disturbs the peace of Europe, but a moral cataclysm that, starting in political and business competitions, sweeps away all that is just, charitable and ennobling in human nature, leaving nothing but blank, bald scepticism that has not even the merit of having been born of sad experience. To this class of doubters nothing is true, nothing is pure, nothing is honest. The atmosphere they breathe is overcharged with the deadly malaria of distrust. The physician is to them a charlatan; the druggist only a dealer in counter- feited products; the preacher has some sinister motive behind his well-meant ministrations; and the lawyer is a prima- facie fraud, supported by statute. All other classes of men have some flaw or | set-back except themselves. What a comfort there isin such an exception! Every druggist who comes in cuntact with these doubters smiles at their puerile exaggeration and aches to make an actual chemical analysis of such perfect speci- mens of humanity. Nothing but an autopsy can disclose the actual truth, but that will be too late to cure their self-conceit. In this age of mental and material ac- tivities the business of the world cannot well be carried on without mutual faith between buyer and seller. If the element of confidence be wanting, there is no foundation on which to build a system of commercial exchanges. Dis- trust is the worm that gnaws at the root of prosperous trade. We must within reason rely on the honesty of our fellow- Sip ; th my —% r 7 ——— Outfit that very properly contains a supply of ‘ 9 1 ires’ 5%" which adds to the enjoyment of all the other ai:.tics, and makes a picnic a picnic indeed, A 25 cent package makes § gallons of this ry popular beverage, Don’t be deceived if a dealer, for the sake of larger profit, tells you some other kind “* just as good "’—'tis false.

Such men of all others are most likely to fall victims to the arts of confidence men and bunco steerers. The man who is liberal in opinion and not given to de- preciating wares he seeks to purchase will have the benefit not only of his own knowledge of values, but, also, the hon- est advice of the dealer who, as an expert in that line, will be able and willing to improve the customer’s choice.

Traveling men, in selling goods, meet | had been ‘ing to close competition. all classes of humanity, and I have taken | many a long, cold drive through the wilds of Northern Michigan to towns off | the railroad that has, in the end, proved very profitable, as well as very pleasant, the inconveniences of making said trips. The lumber trade is especially profitable, their ‘‘camps”’ prize to any wholesale house that can control their trade, as their orders are for good, substantial goods. The con- sumers are, as aclass, good, healthy men, and itis no trouble to fill an order, as style and brands of goods cut no figure. My house having been in the trade long before railroads were built through the lumbering section, we had furnished a great many of the lumbering camps for years, and were well prepared to furnish them with their class of goods. My first experience in selling a camp was not only a novelty but an experience to which I have always looked back with pleasure. I received a letter one stormy day in December from the junior partner (who was always looking after new trade) which threw a little light on about what | had to do, and how, giving me the necessary pointers, ete. It ran as follows: cold, GRAND Rapips, Dec. 9. Jas, Alispice, Manton, Mich., DEAR JImM—We want you to run back to Murray & Moore’s Siding and go into their camp on the Manistee River. They are operating very heavy there this win- ter and we want their business. They are all O. K., and goods should pay a large profit, especially on tobaccoes, teas, syrups and meats. We have justin a ear of corn syrup in 5 and 10 gal. kegs (a little short—run about 4 and 9). We have a lot of that Lumberman long cut smoking that has been slow sale. Cut loose and sell it out. Do not forget that lot of ground coffee in bbis. Cost 9c— about 20c per lb. would be right. Here will be a good chance te sell those fancy colored meerschaum pipes that we are stuck on. No rebates, Jim, on tobacco or coffee to camp trade. We have some fine ‘“‘dairy” butter, put up in rolls, 100 cases, made at Armour’s dairy farm at the stock yards—something new. It will sell at 18 to 20¢. That lard we quote you is ‘‘com- pound’? lard. We can buy it a little less than kettle lard. Glad to note your con- tinued sales on the plug with cook steves. We can substitute a fine Portland cutter or buckboard if your customers prefer. That strong letter from the ‘‘Governor” regarding rebates you want to skip when reading. You are outfor business. not miss any sales, if a church social every night. it is myself.)

The driver was full of wonderful stories of his hairbreadth escapes during | his many years of service as a lumber- | man. We finally arrived at the camp, which consisted of three log shanties— one a cookroom, one for sleeping and one a storehouse. After eating supper, which consisted of pork and beans (Maine style), bread and plenty of dried apple sauce, I was taken ihto the men’s quar- ters and given the post of honor—the “‘deacon’s” seat. Here I was, a real, live ‘‘drummer’’ in all my glory. I was surrounded by the men—and such a lot of humanity! I never was up with the like before. Being a stranger, I produced a box of cigars—‘‘clear smok- ers’’—and ‘‘set’em up’ all around, not forgetting the boys back in the room. Time passed pleasantly. I was plied with questions as to the news ‘‘out- side,” as some of the men had been in camp for three months or more. One fellow had a fiddle, and the way he rasped off the ‘‘Arkansaw Traveler’’ was acaution. The ‘Dublin Quartette” sang ‘The Rocky Roads to Dublin,” ete. I had to tell a few stories of ‘‘the latest,’’ and tell them all about the Sullivan-Ry- an fight at New Orleans. One fellow wanted to know if Smith’s varieties was mixed cook still running, and how the fall races came out at the ‘‘Rapids.’’ At last it was ‘“‘turn in.” I was given parlor A, top bunk. After that ‘‘crew’’? of men had been stowed away, the snoring be- gan, and they kept it up till ‘‘the first cracks 0’ dawn.” If it had not been for a large hole inthe roof, | would have been a corpse in the morning. When those fellows’ old socks began to thaw out by the big box stove, with their damp woolen shirts and boot packs, the smell would have run arace with any limburger cheese factory in the universe. Four a. m. and the camp was all astir. Breakfast before daylight, and away all hands. The breakfast menu consisted of hot pork and beans (baked during the night in a bed of coals), some fried ven- coffee and corn cakes. Mr. Murray being at liberty, lopened up my samples, and proceeded in the usual an With my way to pull order. sample cases ed by tall pine trees, the solitude only broken by the occasional fall of a mon- arch of the forest, as the woodman’s sharp ax or saw laid them low.

General Hardware — Notwithstanding Summarized Decisions from Courts of the warm weather, the volume of busi- ness has been good with all jobbers and retailers. Especially is this true in agri- eultural tools and builders’ hardware. Indications all point to a good fall trade and dealers are commencing to stock up in anticipation of such an event. Galvanized Iron—Prices on galvanized iron have been very low, but the mills are asking for better prices and are suc- ceeding in getting them. In ordinary quantities the discount is 65 per cent. from new list. Copper—Recent advances are hard to hold, and there has been quite a little cutting, varying somewhat, according to the size of the order. The decline or weakness has had a tendency to produce lower quotations in various articles of tinware in which copper is used. Pig Lead—No special change. market appears in a weak ‘condition. Wrought Iron Pipe—The mills are so- liciting business at lower prices and large buyers can, in a measure, their own figures. Tin—Prices on all grades-of bright and roofing plates remain about stationery. Tin from stocks on hand in New York ean be bought at a less figure than one could import direct. While American tin is being made quite largely, it is most of the higher grades and, consequently, does not cut much of a figure in this market. It is to be hoped American manufacturers will soon be able to hold their own on the cheaper as well as the better grades. Wire Nails—Owing to the closing down of a number of mills, prices are much firmer and may be higher shortly. Cut Nails—Only three mills are now making cut nails, which causes a scarcity and prices have advanced 5c per keg at the mills. Tacks—The ruinously low prices which have prevailed on tacks for the past year have been withdrawn and manufacturers have advanced their prices 25 per cent. which still leaves them very low. Cradles—The demand has been so great that stocks in everybody’s hands have been cleaned out. Jobbers are unable to replenish their stocks, as the manu- facturers have none on hand, and no woods with which to make them. Deal- ers who are out wil! have to remain out for this season. Bright Coil and Halter Chains—The importers have been obliged to revise their lists in this line and dealers can get new lists by applying to their jobber. Enterprise Goods—aAll articles made by the Enterprise Manufacturing Co., have had a stirring upin prices and, in many instances, an advance has been made on coffee mills, dried beef cutters, lard presses, self measuring faucets, tobacco eutters and meat cutters. The discount now is 20 and 10, where it used to be 30 per cent. The Enterprise people are very firm in this advance and say jobbers will have to maintain these prices if they make any profit. Tackle Blocks—For the last year prices have been below the cost of production and the manufacturers have lost a great deal of money. At last they have come to an understanding and have made quite a radical advance. Their discounts now are as follows: wood tackle blocks, 50 and 10; thick mortice tackle blocks, 30 and 10; burr snatch blocks, 40 and 10. Jobbers manifest a disposition to maintain these quotations. The name | BUSINESS LAW. Last Resort. BREACH OF CONTRACT. According to the decision of the New York Court of Appeals, in the case of the Kokomo Strawboard Company vs. Inman, default in the payment of notes given for merchandise constitutes a breach of contract justifying the seller in treating the contract as rescinded and suing for the value of the merchandise already furnished. TAILOR’S EXEMPTION IN MINNESOTA. Under the laws of Minnesota one car- rying on the trade of a tailor may be en- titled to the exemption from attachment or execution of two sewing machines, if kept and personally used for the purpos- es of his trade and if necessary therefor, according to the decision of the Supreme Court. MECHANICS’ LIEN. According to the decision of the Su- preme Court of Minnesota, in the case of Glass et al. vs. Freeberg et al., where a building is constructed under one entire contract between the owner and the orig- inal contractor, the liens of all sub-con- tractors who furnished material or per- formed labor for the building at any time during the process of construction attach, by relation, as of the date of the commencement of the work, and are en- | titled to a preference over a mortgage on the premises executed by the owner sub- sequent to that date. DEBTS—SITUS—ATTACHMENT. The Supreme Court of Minnesota held, in the case of Harvey vs. Great Northern Railway, that for the purposes of attach- ment a debt has a situs wherever the debtor can be found, and that wherever the creditor might sue for its recovery there it may be attached as his property, provided the laws of the forum author- | ize it: that it is not material that the| debt was not made payable in the state | where the attachment proceedings are instituted, and that the pendency of a prior action by attachment in another state which binds the debt may be set up by way of defense to a suit by the de- fendant in the attachment in Minnesota to recover the same debt. FIRE INSURANCE—HAZARDOUS RISK. Where at the date of the issue of a fire insurance policy the premises were un- occupied, and the printed part of the policy provided that it should become void if benzine, gasoline, ete., or other explosive should be kept or used on the premises, these being the only uses of premises prohibited by the policy as haz- | ardous, and a written slip attached to and made part of the policy provided that the premises were ‘‘privileged to be | occupied for hazardous or extra haz- | ardous purposes,’’ the Supreme Court of Minnesota held, in the case of Russell vs. Manufacturers & Builders’ Fire Insur- ance Company, that there was an incon- sistency or want of harmony between the printed and the written part of the policy, and that the latter must control; also, that the use of the premises as a paint factory in which benzine and gasoline were kept and usedin the manufacture of paints was permitted by the written part of the policy. a Catching Green Turtle. One of the most profitable industries on the coast of Texas is green turtle fish- ing. These animals rarely come on shore, and are caught in strong nets in| the vicinity of their feeding grounds, places where grows the peculiar variety of seaweed which is their only food. One of these favored spots is in Aransas Bay, and another is in Matagorda Bay, near Pass Caballo. The turtles caught | weigh from 150 to 400 pounds apiece. | They are gentle creatures, and offer no | serious resistance to their captors. Since e | the building of the Aransas Pass Rail-| road the business has assumed consid- | erable proportions, the bulk of the catch | being marketed in New York. le Use Tradesman Cowpon Books.
