A Timely llcoouo. , It la presumed by some that a n class com mercial travelers are anything but moral. This supposition , so common n few years ago , in fast being wiped out by the many evi dences of Its falsity. The opportunities for the traveling salesman to exhibit his de merits nro as frequent as the occasions upon -which ho may with propriety display his virtues. The confident of many n patron thcro Is within the breast of many a reliable traveler safely locked the secret of n heart , niul upon his manhood often rests the happi ness of a homo. There is on record many In stances where the honor and kindness of rep- rc.scntatlvcs of this class have done much to lighten the burdens of heavy hearts ; but in no cao has n greater service been ren ilorod by ono in any walk of life than Unit performed by nn Omaha drummer within the post four weeks. Tbat the dally papers I did not secure the details Is due to the silence maintained by the principals In the iiffnir and the promptness and skill displayed by the inunL-'tturist. ISrcn now It Is neces sary that no names bo mentioned , as such a revelation would do the world no good , and would render Interested persons the greatest unhappincss. In the early part of March a young and handsome girl returned to her homo In the interior part of nn adjoining state from nn eastern city , where she had been in attend ance at a modest seminary of that i section. The father of the young lady was engaged in the business of general merchandise , and it was announced that tliu daughter had been withdrawn from school in order that she might assume the charge of her parent's books. The mother of the young lady had died some years ago , and the good people of the village wcro pleased that the society of the place -was to acquire nn accomplished and Kernel lass to Its numbers. Slneo the young lady took the desk In her father's office she has been a valuable aid in the transaction of business , though she has repeatedly rejected offers to mingle In society. Her absence from these circles hasbccn excused by the state ment that her entire- time was consumed in lilting herself for mercantile duties. When the young lady loft the little town for school she was several years younger than she now is and as her vacations , with the exception of the Christmas of 1837 , were spent with a relative in another state , she was almost n total stranger to the villagers. During her few weeks residence in her father's placQ of business the lady has by her kind treatment of all won many friends , any onoof whom would bo pleased to make her a frequent visitor of their homes. Tlio details thus far related are of little In terest , and the record of the now plain life of this young girl would perhaps have never found its way to print wcro It not for an acci dent by which a representative of tbo Bui : came Into possession of tlio true reason for the young lady's return from school. A well known Omaha wholesale house numbers among its travelers a gentleman Who has long ceased to bo young having passed the forty-fifth mile post of an active career. Hnpplly married this gentleman was a devoted husband to an excellent wlfo , and ono year ago an almost idolatrous father to a most lovable daughter , In the fall of 1837 death entered his household , und when ho reached his homo , in answer to a sudden summons , It was to gaze upon the lifeless form of his beloved child. Friday , March Si , this gentleman boarded n MlBSOurl Pacific train , bound for Omaha , nt a not far distant station Ho was about to take a seat In ono of the forward conches , when ho was hailed from the Pullman by an acquaintance , who invited him to share his scat. Tliero were but few occupants of the Blooper , and , perhaps from force of habit , the traveler glanced around nt these for familiar faces. Occupying scats in the center of the coach wcro a couple , the face of ono of whom im mediately attracted the attention of the tourist. It was that of a young girl , at all times and to all people ono which would bespeak - speak a second glance ; but it was not the charm and grace which attracted the travel er's attention. Aside from the pleasing face there was In the features something familiar to ho who studied them at that moment. Where had ho seen it before ? The romoin- branco came slowly , but it came surely ; ana ho recalled the faco'as that of the young daughter of n patron whom ho had mot at her father's store in the town of dur ing the Christmas week of 1837. The young lady had then attracted his ear nest attention by her pleasing conversation , and perhaps moro from the fact that the last recollection of his daughter was nt the same ago The girl was evidently enjoying herself - self , and nt her side was a well dressed young man. After chatting with his friend for some tlmo the traveler arose and walked to whore the counlo wcro seated. Apologiz ing for interrupting such a bcemingly iigroo- nblo conversation , ho Introduced hlmsolf. JIo noticed that the young lady was btnrtlcd ami not too well pleased at his appearance , yet she greeted him in n friendly manner und well remembered their first meeting If the girl hud shown a slight displeasure , the face of her companion clearly Indicated that ho was in no manner ploiibod with the interrup tion. The trespasser was not Invited to be seated , yet ho good naturally passed the slight , cliattcd for a few minutes , learned that the young lady was on her way to . Omaha and rotunica to his seat. To all o < tils questions as to her father tlio young lady , ; bad given to the drummer answers especially and noticeably indefinite , and bo had not pressed bin InqulsltlvonesB too far. The presence of a young lady on Midi nn occasion und under such circumstances was by nn ine.ins unusual , and her seemingly evasive answers might perhaps have arisen from the surprise at seeing him , and n natural omlrnr raismcnt of b'jlng found in u young moil's company. Yet for some unaccountable reason the traveler could not drive tlio thought of the young lady out of his mind. It was ! > o'clock when the train reached Omaha , and the traveler caw no moro of the young couplo. The further details could not be obtained In full by reason of the reticence of all ron V corned , H booms , however , that tha same t evening tha drummer accompanied nlrioiidtc ; a well known hotel , and while enjoying hi > huppcr discovered tha daughter of his patron scaled nt a distant table in company with i Btrango lady. Supper finished the travclci sauutorfld to the oftlco. Opening the rogls tcr ho failed to llud tlio young l.idy's name The only guests who had arrlvct by the Missouri Pacitlo were Heurj W. niwoll and Miss Dolly Klwell-coiiBiti ! or brother und sister , the clerk suggested Thorn was no doubt In the travolor's mint but what thcro was something rotlen In th ( sUto of Denmark. Ho did not like \\ia \ up pcaranco of the young man. By thU re-gin trillion the youth plainly showed that some tiling wai > wrong. Tha traveler determined to act , and ho did so promptly He took Do tocllveJohu Dingman of Dinpmun. & Emorj - - coulldeuc * , and told him lus su plclons. It did not take the detective long to ' 'sire up" the entire proceeding. WHnIn three hours ho had secured the story and re lated ftto the traveler. The young man wa chance acquaintance of the girl , who was of-a romantic turn , and while stopping in the place where she attended school had proposed to the j oung lady that they go to Omaha , where lie had a very dear lady cousin , and bo married , The | xx > r girl had accepted , the young man bad taken her to the hotel and thcio had in troduced her to his "lady cousin , " who was no lesa a personage than a prominent figure of the deinl-mondo of Omaha. The revela tion was startling to the tourist. Tiic.\oung man would not bo likely to return to the hotel that night and aside from being in the company of the "lady cousin1' for ono night the unsuspecting irirl would bo all right. Nevertheless the cautious Dingman took up his ] x > sitlon and saw to it that the bird did not fly. At 10 o'clock the next morning the bill of Henry Elwoll was paid and In a close carriage the party rode away ; not , however , from the watchful eyes of the detective. At S o'clock that afternoon a carriage dashed up to a glided palace of vice whereapiwlntments are made and kept by the wealthiest of Omaha's dlsslpators. Out of this conveyance.sprang a well known commer cial traveler and Detectives Emory and Dingman ; the trio were admitted to the house. It did not take long to convince the queen of the realm that they wcro there on business and would brook no child's play. After considerable objection and strcncous kicking , the proprietress submitted to the inevitable , and a sable attend ant carried the card of the drummer to nn tipper room occupied by Miss . The young lady resiwnded In person , and the de tectives withdrew to another room. With but little ceremony the plain spoken old tourist told his mission , and when ho in formed her of the character of the liouso the poor girl broke down completely. There was no time to waste and the drummer hur riedly secured the young lady's wraps , and closely veiled she was conducted to the car riage below. In half nu hour the young lady was at the home of the traveler safe under the protec tion of his estimable wife. The next day the same drummer accompanied her to a point within fifteen miles of her father's homo and left her. In parting there was u visible tremor in the voice of the traveler as ho grasped the hand of the young lady , and bidding her good-bye , said : "My poor child. I thank God that I saw you in time. " The young lady went direct to her father's homo , acted on the advice of the drummcrand told her parent the whole story. She docs not , perhaps , know how near she cnmo to that brink where BO many have trod and perished. Under the Impression that she was being taken to tlio homo of her lover's cousin she was enticed to a notorious house of nssigna tion. The man who took her thero.aud whom she had promised to wed.was au olly-tongucd scoundrel of good appearance , who has not yet achieved a police court record , but has on many occasions boon the honored guest of estimable families. For the sake of the fair name of Ills intended victim there was and will bo no prosecution , yet it is safe to say that If ho over crosses the path of this manly Omaha drummer ho will bo remem bered , recognized , and treated accordingly. Points Vor Youn j Travelers. There are some things worthy of attention in the make-up of customers as well as tha' ' of traveling salesmen , says n writer In the St. Paul Globe. There is no man of exper ience on the road who has failed to single out such as the nervous , the communicative , the know-all the fellow with an argument , well as the bullying and funny fellow , besides a half dozen other grades of buyers , each ono of whom must bo Judged upon a traveler's iirst visit , and for whom ho must mark out n line of action , a method of assault The nerv ous customer wants to buy , needs the goods , but fears makimr a mistake. The communicative fellow tells you all about his personal and family af fairs , things of no interest to you. The first must bo quieted , his fears allayed , and the other you must bear with until the machine runs down , unless like the rubber man it is wound up for twenty-four hours , in which case tlio spring must bo broken. Neither of the two can be hurried , and to secure nn order from them time is necessary. The knowing fellow can toll you all about your own goods , how they are made , knows every brand on the market , their prime value , yet ho may not have been six months in trade , and could not tell you the difference between 40 and 10 or straight 40 from list ( i. o. , if there was a difference ) . The bully ing fellow generally dismisses you before the introductory service is over , while the funny fellow regales you with the latest story , drops business to entertain you , and the idea uppermost in his mind Is that you are going to split all the but tons off your vest listening to his repetition of old stale chestnuts. As you meet them ono aud all , you must size them up , attack their weak points , and. marshaling your forces , muss them on the defenseless side , and by storm carry off the trophy an order. The traveling salesman whoso course lies over n beaten path ( a route which ho makes frequently ) 1ms less to contend with than the ono who changes routes frequently and Is less frequently brought In contact with his cus tomers. Such being the case , while a trav eler might excel In ono branch no would bo a blank failure in the other. Thu latter should bo sharp , quick of perception , and both should have some brains , iiorvo and adver tising genius. _ _ _ _ _ A flritty Tourist. Franklin II. Downs , the traveling repre sentative of a Boston house , recently cup- turea n burglar at Lynn , Mass , Mr. Downs was returning at a late hour to his boarding house when ho noticed a man on the second story balcony. In reply to a question the man muttered an oath and then attempted to jump to a lower porch. The plucky traveler ran after the burglar and the two grappled. There was an ugly rough and tumble lighten on the grass plat , both men lighting desper ately and both being well winded. Parties hearing the scuffle , ran to help and the stranger was soon brought to terms. The burglar was hurried Into the house. He proved to bo a negro tramp , attired in an old suit that had suffered badly ut Mr. Downs' hands. IV. O. T. A.

Thcro was jubt a year to a day between the birth of thotwinsand the ncxlchild , which was a boy. llo is deaf and dumb. A year later Mrs. Lock- well gave birth to triplets , two girls and a , boy , each ono of which weighed live pounds. They lived until they wore six months old , and were in apparently the best of health , but one day they all thrco died in less than an hour of ono another. Two years later Mrs. Lockwell gave birth totwins , both boys , of moro than average weight. One of the babies had six fingers on the left hand and the other had bix toes on tne right foot. Two years passed again before - fore any moro children were born to the Lockwolls. On Sunday .Mrs , Lockwcll gave birth to a girl baby which weighs less than two pounds.
