Ho win only it "news butcher" on n
through train. Tim short coat and thu jionk
I'd coji gave liliu mi nlr of boyishness, lint
his face had lines of manhood. Ho wax
hearing the end of his run, hud put up his
trashy novels mid high-priced fruit and sut
down iu tho vacant wilt with the evident pur
oso of lielng sociable. A feeler of his drew
out n query from thu traveler, nnd then tho
newsboy unbosomed himself of his jihlloso.
phy. ''Oh, It's u good business,1' ho rosjiond
ed, earnestly. "Tho secret of tho whole
thing Is, when you catch a sucker work him
for nil there is in it. You seen them books
of mountain scenery 1 sell for n quarter,
didn't you, those tins with n long stilug of
pictures Hint fold upf When n hayseed asks
how much they is I nxk him how many ho
wants, Ho never wants more'n one, and 1
tell him t'i. A granger alwayH wants to
beat down tho price. If I told him ten cents
lio'd want 'er for n nickel. Well, after lots
of confab ho probably otters a dollar. Do 1
take itl Well, I should smile, and that
countryman is tickled Ixicautto he thinks lie
saved a dollar. A darky is it good deal tho
same way. Ho never wants to pay the llrst
price you ask him. When 1 nsk him, 'flow
many do you wnnt I' and he says one, I tell
him him the pictures are ten Jeents apiece or
two-ilfty for tho lot. And then I make u
motion to tear oil a picture. Tho coon sayn:
'Hold on there, boHs, don't do that.' Thou I
pretend I think ho wanU live, tell him he
can have 'em for ilfty cents- and count 'em
oil as though I intended to tear 'em from thu
strip. He sto8 me again, and finally ollVrs
me a nickel apiece for the twenty-llvo pic
ture. Of course 1 take htm up 'to nivo
time,"eciiil rate to him' and all that suit
of thing, you know. You see that's where I
make my money, 'litem books aio twenty
five cent. I get one-lltth for selling 'em, so
1 have to turn iu twenty cents to the boss.
When I catch u sucker for a ilullnr and a
ininrter you see I makes 11.0.1 out of it."
When asked what he made out of the busi
ness, the young fellow leplied: "Well,
'taint as good as it used to be. When I wus
running on the Now York Central, maklti' a
round trip every day between Albany and
New York. I usel to go homo Haturdny
night and trow ?..' and $40 Into my motheis
lap. Sometimes it was $.10 a week and never
less than i'. I was only V-i years old den,
an1 the old man said he'd take care of it.
He's takln'caruof it yet. an' that was six
teen years ago, but I gues I can paddle my
own canoe. Them was the days when we
told two and three dollar books. Wo didn't
have these 'ere cheap, paper covered books.
Now I make u little rake oil by putting up
the price of the stuff. Maybe you didn't no
tice it, but none of my books liuvu the price
printed on 'em. I just tuck a nickel extra
ou 'em, and if I sell twenty In u day that's
good for 81.2.1. See On some runs, wheie
there Is lots of drummers I stand in with 'em.
I take back their old books, allowing 'em a
nlckle, and then I sell them books again and
make n big round prollt- I tell you the boss
don't get much out of that deal.
Speaking of judging people, the kxpiaci
ous young man intenupted energetically:
''Greatest business on earth to study human
nature I I'll bet I can go through this car
with an armful of books and lay down in
each seat a book that will hit that passenger's
peculiar Idea. You noticed I didn't stop
nnd chew the rag with you when you said
you didn't want that book, didn't you I Well
there are some people who want to be talked
to. They kinder want some tiling uud you
sorter have to bulldoze 'em into buying. I
ran onto a young feller from the country
a vilo ago, and he seemed to think lie hud to
buy a book every time I came round. I
worked about eight dollars' worth ou'o him,
and then he, pitiful sort of like, said that he
couldn't buy any more, only one. He said
he was goiu' to college and ho w anted u copy
of Iloccacio's book awful bad ami would pay
mott anything for it. I said I sold 'em once
iu awhile, but pretended it was against
theiulesand the law to sell it. He kept
beggin' for it, and when 1 got him worked I
I said I would sell him a copy I had bought
for another feller down tho road, but he
must shove it into his grip and not look nt
it until he got home. He handed over a live
dollar bill and I catno back with a copy of
Ham Jones' Sermons, the biggest book I had.
Just as I handed lt to him the conductor
came in. 'There's the con, he's watching
me!' nnd I dropped the book into his grip.
I pretende.l I wanted to take it back and the
feller crossed hU heart he wouldn't open the
grip until he got home, I saw him once af
terward, but he wouldn't look at me. Now,
I claim I did that young country feller a
good turn. He probably read them sermons
and they probably done him some good, Oh,
I c-nn make more at this business than I
could nt a trade or clei king iu n store. And
I enn teach a boy so he'll make fifteen dol
lars a week if he'll only dons I tell him. No,
I'm no good for anything else. I suppose
I'll stick to It until I get died."
A sninrt darky was taken down the other
day in a way that he is likely to remember
until he shuttles of this mortal coil, lie was
n waiter on a dining car, and one of tliOM)
smart young negroes who like to show on
their smartness. His table caught a man
whose dress was something of a back number
and he sized up the passenger for a ilfty cent
tip, Instead of waiting for the diners order
he nodded knowingly, smiled iisMiriiigly,
pilckly ejaculated, "I've got you," and
mode for the kitchen. Tho traveler had no
time to make a remonstrance, and jwitieiitty
awaited his leturii. Indue cause of time
the darky came back, His tiny was piled
up two layers thick, nnd If there was some
thing ou the bill of fare that he didn't biiug
the supply must have run out. Evidently
this smart waiter forgot nothing. He spread
out the dishes befote thu waiting guest, who
calmly watched the pi weeding uud snld
not a word. When the task was llnMied,
tho young fellow stood in tho aisle with a
teaming countenance and gazed at the stran
ger for nu approving nod or smile. Hut the
stranger did not npprove. Ills dignity hud
been olTended. In a deep buss voice with n
ragged edgo on it lie roared out: "Tnkei
away this trash and bring mo it bill of faro'
The stranger was a senator from one of tho
new western states. All the duky walteis
nnd potters ou tho trnlu mndo life miserable,
for tho smart waiter, and it will Ihj a long
tliuo before he hears tho Inst of it.
1'iobnbly you have run across that new
fangled match that will not take flro unless
you strike it ou the sido of one of tho boxes
In which they nro put up. if you hapeu to
bo traveling iu a Pullman car when some
fellow offers to bet that ho can light ouu of
those matches without using nltoxdou't tako
him up. Most people don't tako a Pullman
unless they have long trls to make. That
means considerable tliuo to kill, and thu
smoking room Is the greatest place lit the
world for men to get together to swap ex
orleiices and other luteiesting llctlons. If
there Is anything that will raise tho dander
of an average man It is to tell him he can't
do n simple little thing that looks perfectly
easy. For years ho has b"on accustomed to
striking matches on the soles of his shoes or
the scat of his trousers, and to bo handed n
little stick with brimstone top and lw told he
cannot light it without using n prepared box
is like slinking a rtsl rag In a bull's face. For
awhile theru were sninrt fellow on tho road
picking up now a fiver and then i tenner on
wngers of that kind. Hut human Ingenuity
has been nt work, nnd now there nre bright
men betting that they cnu do the trick. I
saw one do It tho other day. He took the
matchbox, rubbed the sitidpnperc 1 box on
the bottom of Ills shoe and then struck the
match on the shoe. Other smart investiga
tors have discovered a way of lighting these
matches by striking them iu it ecullar man
ner ou tho plate glass windows of the Pull
man car. Hence, I say unto you, don't bet
ou another man's game.
The west ought to organize it corps o! mis

sources of this section nnd Its marvelous

back from nu eastern trip says the general
Ignorance of this country that prevails
among the people living enst of the Allegha
ny mountains is something astounding.
Years ago they may have heard of Lincoln
as a likely town of 10,000 people, ami judg
ing from their own slow gait, they now
think of it as a place of perhaps 1.1,000 un
til someone informs them to the contrary,
and then they listen to the truth with an in
credulous air as much as to say; "Well, per
haps it's so, but I fear there is a great deal
of western exaggeration In the llgures.
Tills gentleman had a number of easterners
ask him if he very often met such and such
n person iu Denver or St. Paul or Kansas
City. They seem to think theso places not
only villages but located in adjoining coun
ties, so that u resident of one might know al
most any citizen of tho others. Of course
theru are educated and traveled people who
kuow better than that, but it is true of tho
masses that they are lamentably ignorant of
the west. This section begins ut the Alle

wonderful trip around tho world and the
CouitlHll'H personal interview with her whllu

still more of Miss lllsland as her work in

nature as to win inuiiy friends and admircis
besides starting tho great boom t at The

Miss HlsUud has recently returned from
Europe, w hero she has leeu since May, lb'.KJ.
During her sojtiru she has enjoyed a round
of sight-seeing and entertainment by English
friends. A few weeks before .Miss lllsland
left England for home she became engaged
to Mr. Wetmore, who had gonu over fioni
America to secure her promise. Ma is lit)
years old and is the junior member of thu
law Hi m of Harlow & Wetmore, SO Wall

New York In Ibso. He is not fond of society,
but Is admired by all with whom he comes
iu contact, socially or iu business. Miss Ills

given by it country club ou Ixiiig Island, be
toie she left for her European trip, audit
deep admiration for each other sprung up,
Tlieie was no engagement, however, until a
few weeks ago. Thu wedding was it quiet
one, as both Miss lllsland and Mr, Wetmore
are a vol so to any ostentation. There was no
wedding trip, and they went Immediately to
their home at East Sixteenth street. Miss
lllsland was born at Camp Island, Fairfax
Plantation, on tho Tceho, near Now Orleans.
Her family, one of tho oldest In the South,
lost Its entire property while she was n child,
and several years ago Mls lllsland started
