IIVBH I have no doslro , nor do I think there Is
IBBfl any necessity for mo to pose us a champion
BJBBB of my follow traveling men , but I do think

BBBB ] stand that his method of singling out the
BBBB1 commercial men of this country au mora im-
BBB mornl , mora dissolute , or moro vulgar than
BBBBf any other class of mon , is unjust and uu-

Rlirldoti'fl Sweat Until
I noticed that nccr.unt of the whirl Jim
Hutchinson and Chnrllo West Indulged In nt
London Mills , said one of the boys the other
night , but It ain't n patching to the trick that
West served T. V , Sheldon ono night last
summer down nt Rushvillo In rcsponso to
numerous Inquiries regarding the chnractor
of the Job , the following was unfolded : It
wns ono of those beastly hot daj s which fry
and try a man for nil ho Is worth and which
you can always depend on bolng followed by
a night suftlclontlv close nnd opprcsslvo to
smother n salamander Such wus the condi
tion of things on tills occasion If the day
was hot the night was still hotter and West
nnd Shcl sat up mid smoked until a Into hour
before retiring Thov wcro to occupy ndoublo
room and ns soon nsthoycntoredWost made it
a point to tnko possession of the bed nearest
the window This loft Sliul on the sheltered
sldo of the room and ho had begun complnln-
Ing of the bed almost us soon as ho lay down
West pulled his bed close un to the window
whore every breath of air could reach him ,
and then becan to ' plou Sheldon's dlscom-
flturo By the tlmo Shol was nsloep West
was ready for business , and as soon as the
tlist snore gavoovldonco that ho could carry
out bis plan ho set to work Thostovo hud
not been Uken down and like most nrtlcles
of It kind had served through the summer as
a waste basket In which every ono who had
occupied the room had thrown moro or less
matter West stuffed in all the old papers
ho could lay hands on touched a match to
the muss , nnd thou after throwing every
draft wide open crawled back into bed
Pretty soon ho hoard Shcl turning rest
lessly Then ho heard him kicking frantically
nt Imaginary bed clothes , and a moment after
heard him iuquire : Can jou sleep , West ,
ns hot 03 It is ) "
Well , I haven't been asleep vet , Shel , but
Its not because 1 felt warm I think Its very
comfortnblo hero In fact I'm sleeping with
a blunkot over mo I wns Just going to let
down the window , butif you're warm enough
with it up Ill lot It stand "
"Winin ! Gieat God I'm
enough , mnn , just
sweltering Sav , its tcrrlblo I waked up
dreaming of purgatory and I didn't miss It
so very far "
Nonsouse You must have a fever , Shol
Hands hot nnd dry , aren't they ? Throat
parched and bead fceliug heavy ! You talk
kind of flighty , old boy Dent got delirious ,
old boy , for heavens sake If you ain't bet
tor in the morning you'd better run In "
' Hands hot and dry ! Say , dent talk such
rot West As you love me refrain I have
onoueh to stnnd ns It is V hy , say , my liead
is Just sn burning in a pool of swcit a bore is
a stream running down ray buck that would
turn a mill wheel and even down the soles of
mv feet nro pouring tinv rivulets of honest
perspiration Dry ! Why , thunder and
Mars ! I'm ' sweating nt the rate of two gallons
lens per minute right now "
'J hero was an audible groan from West's
bed Its even worse than I thought , " snid
that gentleman slowly Its awful to think
of it A big kealthy-lotikiiig mnu llko > ou
going down that way You'vo got 'cm
though got 'em sure Its too bad Too
bad , " nnd West again groaned
What In thunder are vou groaning about !
What do you suppose 1'vo got that's causing
you to feel bad ! " '
Got ! Why man , you'vo got night sweats
Its a terrible thing Iliad an undo who
had bight Bweuts Had 'em for two weeks
andthonhadQfuiieril It was awful ! Ho
used to wolgh two hundred pounds and when
wo planted him ho only weighed fifty Its
the aw "
"Oh , shut up I'm too hot to monkey Ill '
bo Just eternally blanked dashed to dash if
I was over so dash blaukod hot In all my
life You must bo hot You cant make
mo swullow your blank dashed He about be
ing comfortable I'm so hot I cant lay
down , but it dent help matters much to sit
up Ill ' bo dash blanked to dash If I can
stand it , I'm coming over , West 13y George ,
I'm so weak I can Hardly got my logs out 1
wns never so totnlly svvol holy and o r-l-g-
i-n-n-1 M-os-osI See that steve If she
ain't red fiom top to bottom I'm a liar Talk
of fever nnd night sweats ! Its the dash
blanketest outrage ever perpetrated on u
free born citi "
Then there was a howl of laughter from
Wost'sbod , and in another second there was
a sound of struggling as the Joker and his
victim grappled Of course , physically ,
West had no show Ho had to compromise
on Shel's terms , and my own notion is thut
the victim of the sweat bath was by no
moans lenient Of course there was no ill
tooling They always have been and are yet
the best of friends , but for all that Shol
would feel somewhat nervous if asked to
take West for a room mate

Speaking of traveling men romlnds moot
ono I noticed on the train in the southern
part of Nebraska a few weeks ago , who made
himself and every ono near blm uncomforta-
bio I happened to sit In the neighborhood ,
so I speak from experience In the first
place , as wo changed cars at Lincoln this
gentleman us I will call him , came in and
found a seat and in a few moments two
girls , from nppojrancos 1 should judge them
to bo working girls and quite tired out , came
. in nnd could llnd uo scats When the con
ductor asked this gentleman to give up bis
chair to the ladies , he curtly replied : "Ipaid
for first class fare nnd intend to have it , "
and settled hlmsolf moro comfortably in his
easy chair In a few moments t o otnor
gentlemen gave up their chairs to the ladies
Whllo it Is true that he was entitled to first
class faro , I would venture to say It these
ladles bad been robed in sealskins ho would
not have wmtod to have the conductor ask
him to give up his seat , but would have of
fered it without delay
Another thing , the car wns very close and
onn of the transoms was opened to give the
occupants a brouth of fresh air , but the man
who opened it hud hardly turned his baek
before this gent wns up and slammed It chut
with bis umbrella-Just as if the transom
wastoblamol Dent you think everyone in
the neighborhood would have felt moro com
fortable if this ono man would have kept bis
temper a little more to himself I Moliiu
Very Quiet
The hotel lobbies do not present the same
humdrum appearance that they did a low
weeks ago between Cheyenne nnd Omaha on
the Union Pacific Nearly every commer

firm of Sloinuns itHnlsko , rtrrlvcd at
Fricrtriohrnho nbotit 1 p. m. After
they had lunched with the prince and
his family the chancellor , who looltod
very halo and well , expressed a
wish to sco the fur-famed instru
ment , which hud boon put
up moantinio in the drawlngroom
Ho honrd first the 'fhidotzks' march ,
which the muiclcians of the Emperor
Francis gronndior * plajed September

played the other day by the band of the
. At Princo&a Hlsmarck's
regiment & request -
quest Mr "WmiKomann showed the roll
with the voices of the emperors little
sons , which jj really delighted the
chnnccllor and the princess Then
came the cylinder with the amusing
Potpourri , ' containing , among ethers
the voices of Frau Tetcslna Gessnor and
the actors Sommorstort and lloichter
The chancellor asked for nn expla
nation ot the apparatus and observed
that the explanation made it very easy
for him to understand it ' Ho tlion
heard the all * from Norma , ' as sung hy
Frnu Lilli Lohinunn ; an air from Goti-
nods ' ' Frauloin
Margaret , as sung by
Loisinger , and iMussonot's Marin Magdalena -

Philadelphia Then followed a piece
by Chopirr , played , on the piano by
Rogers Milo1 anil 'Lo Pour do Vnlso , '
sung by the Parisian singer Paulus
The chancellor wlt6i expressed his as-
tonishmontattholidelity with which the
instrument reproduced tbo tones ,
yielded to his wifo's persuasion and
snoko into it First ho deelamed the
little American pntion song , 'In Good

learned from his p\\i \ \ friend nt Gottin-
gen Then ho recited the beginning
of Uhland's poonlr1 'Als Knisor Hoth-

mu9 lgitur , ' and finally , 'Allons , En-
funts uo la fatwe ' Then followed
some words to his son Count Herbert ,
who is to try whether ho recognise
his fathers voice from the instrument
The princess , Prhy Councillor
Brauwor and the chancellors thrco
grandsons , who wpro pro&ont , at oneo
rct-ogtiized the voice , which , ot couio ,
sounded strange to the prince him elf
Among other remarks the ehancollnr
s.ud the anpurattis beemed to him a re
alization of the MunelituibOn story , in
which the bound free in the horn and
was afterwards heard as the instrument
bugan to thaw ; but this boat Mun
chausen hollow , for ono could hear the
biiino 10,000 times The phonograph
performed again for an hour and a half
in thoovoning , and the chnncollor re
tired at a late hour , thanking Mr Ed

When Mr Wangomaun rotiuustod
the prince to say bometling lo the
phonograph for the German nation to
remember , ho answered : 'No , no ! They
will only make criticism upon it ' The
words addresbod to Count Herbert Bis

in drinking that's a fathers advice to
his son ' When Princess Blsmarckhud

of approval and added : "I would be
