"If every commercial traveler , who wields
the inllucnco of a membership In any travel
ing man's association , " says the Merchant
Traveler , "will give a llttlo time to earnest ,
careful consideration of fraternity schemes
find Interests , and laying aside selfish motives
and personal prejudices , decide that ho will
ronlly take an Interest lu fraternal move
ments , something definite and commendable
Will bo accomplished.
The Importance of questions involving the
rights , privileges tfr comforts of traveling
tnen can only bo made visible to the
World at larao by noising them abroad ,
nnd the possibility of securing them can
only bo thoroughly and properly understood
by these interested , by discussion and con-
rmllation as to ways und means to bo adopted
for their accomplishment. Entirely too much
time is consumed in fruitless faultfinding and
Inconsiderate and unjust criticism of existing
methods nnd the men having the management
of our affairs in their charge.
Sunday meetings could bo hold at the
fcotols where largo numbers of men are
stopping nnd they could dlscues the Interests
of the association nlid its members and
select delegates that would attend conven
tions and uiaka them a grand success aud
benefit both for the houses represented and
the men who are on tlio road.
Tlioy Were TWIIIB in Appearance.
An Amusing scone occurred a few days ago
In the Mansion house , Handout , says u writer
Jn the Hondout Freeman. Clarence S. Lyons ,
pf New York , is a hat drummer , and Charles
Stewart , Albany , is also a hat drummer. The
two have been looking for each other forever
over u year , anil all because they look so
piuch alike. Lyons and Stewart are each
; ( lvo foot four Inches In height. Lyons has * a
mustucha aud side whiskers and so has
Stewart. Lyons' features nro somewhat
phnrp and so are Stewart's. For the past
year , ivhon Stewart would outer a hat store
to soil a bill of goods , ho roceivud this greet
ing :
"No , don't want any hats to-day. Your
twin brother was hero yesterday uncl I gave
Jilm a largo order. "
Then Stewart would explain that ho had
fie twin brother , but would like to catch the
Follow that looked llko him. If Lyons went
Into a place where Stewart had boon the day
iHiforo , then ho would bo told the same thing
l > y the proprietor and Lyons would vow if ho
over caught his double ho would make it
warm for him. But nil things have nn end-
\VK \ , and so it happened that the drummers
ivho rcsombled each other so closely mot by
chuuco in Hondout. Lyons walked into the
ntanslon House , and while writing his name
pu the register John E. Lasher , the propri
etor , tiaid :
"Your twin brother arrived hero this
Jnornlng. "
"Whoro is ho ? Where is that follow that
looks llko mo I" exclaimed the excited drum-
inor.
( Some ono wont to Stewart and told him
that his twin brother was in the reading
room.
"Let mo get at that follow thnt looks llko
inc. " shouted Stewart.
Tno drummers were brought face to faco.
{ They scanned each other over for n mlnuto ,
nnd then Stewart said :
' "So you are the chap that has been passIng -
Ing yourself off for the past year us my twin
Brother ! "
"Yes , " responded Lyons , "I am the chap
that 1ms boon token for the past year for the
twin brother of a follow that looks like me
and has been passing himself off as my
brother. Thunder , though ! wo do look
enough alike to bo twin brothers. Shako ! "
The two men shook hands , and at the sug
gestion of Mr. Lasher they weighed them-
solves. Lyons weighed 150 pounds nnd Stew-
nrt weighed 151 pounds. For the rest of the
day Lyons and Stewart kept each other com
pany and they were pointed out by people ,
) vho Bald : "Thoro go twin brothers.1'
A Lost Girl Saved.
After diligent Inquiry the HEU brings to
the knowledge of the public n tale of life that
ha ? long been whlnporcd about by the trav
eling fraternity and stand ? us a monument
Of honor to the lioro of our romantio story.
Ho was a traveling man representing a largo
COlToo and splco house at Toledo , O. , and
traveled over the Union Pnclllc , Fremont ,
Elkhorn & Missouri Valley , U. & M. , Chi-
fago , St. 1'iiul , Minneapolis & Omaha rail
road territory north , south and west of
Omaha , and making Choyenuo , Wyo. , and
Chadiou terminal points. Ills fuco was a
familiar one at the Mlllard hotel , nnd many
nn hour was brightened by his sympathetic )
Btrnlus on the parlor "Knabo" piano , which
Bcomod the young man's fuvorito recreation.
Energetic , courteous aud noble , ho made his
way through life , starting as a penniless
boy In Ohio , until ho has established himself
in the general merchandise- business at
Lyons , Nob. It was in Juno when ho called
pn Ills patrons at Cheyenne to represent the
merits of "Slon" coffee , wherohomet some
friends from Ohio , now living at Cheyenne ,
xvho proposed seeing the town that evening
by "gaslight. "
Our traveler , llko most of his brethren ,
being of a Jovial nature , accepted the invita
tion. The theater und restaurant were vis
ited early In the evening , and ono of hU
friends began to tell of his experiences , and
nmong other things mentioned the nuino of a
certain young girl who but lately had coinu
to ono of their houses of lllreputo. ( The
Itory received the silent consideration of our
'Slon" traveler , und the thought occurred
to him that hero was a chance to save n llfo
from irrevocable ruin and shame. In com
pany with his two friends the party went to.
the house of Mrs. , centrally located in
the city , and after EOUIO preliminaries our
Mr SIoii Traveler , fully determined to manly
action , und with u man's noblest incentives
spurring him on to action , asked to uo
shown Jtljo private - room of tuff
slrl , who is n pretty brunette of eighteen.
Ho sotm established himself In the confidence
of the wayward girl who by 1 o'clock that
morning had told her life , showed nil her
letters and with tils encouragement and
assistance was ready to lenvo the house to
turn the short page of the wicked life back a
few weeks and start In another and a purer
course. Her parents , It was learned , rosldo
nt Sioux City , In. She had Joined a theater
company nt Omaha to enter the stage's
trials nnd tribulations , a dcslro that Is so
often the ruin of many young girls. To
dress nnd shine In luxury moved her to lonvo
the lumpy domostlo circle of a good homo.
From Omaha she roamed till Cheyenne was
struck and there she found a congenial llfo
In the "houso" referred to. Our "traveler"
nt once bought two tickets for Sioux City ,
In. , vm. Omaha , nnd reached the Iowa city
With the rescued girl. At Sioux City the
cars wcro taken , her vnllso which con
tained nil her worldly goods carried
within a short distance of her llttlo homo
whcro nn ngod mother received her wayward
child homo. The scene of their meeting was
sublime and mother and daughter embraced
each other speechless and silent. Not n
sound was hoard save the sobs of overjoy nnd
happy greeting. Saved Is another promising
life nna n mother can go to her grave with
, the last gllmpso of n once recreant daughter
glorified Into love , virtue and respect , en
graven and resting upon her heart and a
mother's love and a mother's cara has not
boon for naught. A father who has boon toil-
IngiU the bench from morn till night with
his oycs downward , his spirits downcast , and
haunted by the thoughts of a lo.it child nn
only child can , once moro see and enjoy the
warm nnd cheerful sunlight of llfo. A girl
of the fairest typo , destined to go to her
crave , after n worthless nnd debauched life ,
has once moro entered the sphere of true
and useful womanhood.
This net Is but ono moro In the great
drama of the traveling man's llfo. It veri
fies the statement that "Man's kindness to
man is the sunlight of n thousand hearts. "

A Chicago Joke.
A story la going the rounds of the papers
to the effect that the members of the travel
ing passenger association of Minneapolis
have raised $20,000 to entertain the conven
tion that Is to bo held there in Juno. The
Minneapolis men claim that the story is a
mere Joke given out by the Chicago associa
tion to kill the convention. The traveling
men of the twin cities say they have not
raised $20,000 , but that they will entertain nil
their brothers who corno to the mooting , and
will do the same in first-class style.
Tholr Nnino la Legion.
The importance of the traveler In our com-
mcrco is not generally understood. It is
stated on apparently good authority that in
1837 the army of commercial travelers was
maintained at n cost to the wholesale , Job
bing and manufacturing concerns of the
country of ? T50XX,000 ( ) ; that three-fourths of
all the freight shipped last year was on
orders taken by traveling salesmen , and ag
gregated 800,000,000 tons.

It cost $2,000 to furnish the Traveling
Men's association club rooms nt St. Paul.
Reports come from all the towns through
out the northwest to the effect that business
is very dull in all mercantile business.
The Commercial Travelers' Protective as
sociation , of the United States , has a mem
bership of ever sixteen thousand and is
probably the strongest association of the
kind iu the world.
A meeting of the directors of the Com
mercial Travelers' club of Minnesota was
hold at the club rooms Sunday May 0 , at
11 o'clock a. in. , to discuss the general wel
fare of the association.
A Huron , Dak. , writer says : Our mer
chants are in a healthy financial condition ,
while trade Is quiet , yet wo are living within
our income. Our farmers nro feeling happy
over the prospects of a good crop.
The annual meeting of the Minnesota di
vision T. P. A. , for the election of state
officers nnd delegates and alternates to the
convention of the national association T. P.
A. , will bo hold nt the rooms of the Com
mercial Travelers' club , Halo block , Satur
day , May 10.
A dispatch from , Morristown , Minn. , says :
Our merchants are in better condition than
they were six months ago. Our farming
land , which originally was timber nnd brush ,
has been largely cultivated , and wheat , oats
and corn are now the principal products.
Crop prospects were never better than they
appear at present.
J. D. H. Painter , traveling freight agent
of the Omaha line , knows how to play a
game of whist , and loves it about as well as
any one , provided of course there is no busi
ness on hand. Ask him about the game from
Madclia to Minneapolis between hunself and
unknown vs H. S. Towlor and Tony Shafcr.
Painter will bo pleased to toll you of the
tiilrtcenor.
T. W. Harvey , representing the Patteo
Plow company of Monmouth , ill. , is again on
a tour through the state. Tom is an old-
timer in his line and to all appearances is
getting younger every trip. If wo would
dare to toll a Joke on him , wo would repeat
his remark , "that the nice little 'sparkler1
that ho wears in his scarf was lost and for
gotten by a man on n 'lark.1" May bo it
was , but wo doubt it.
Sam Lcland. of the firm of Tychson & Leland -
land of Lincoln , who had his foot blown off
by the explosion of n steam bailer some
mouths ago , Is again on the road. Although
badly crippled ho manages to get around
among his trade and his customers manifest
most substantial courtesy by giving him very
liberal orders. Mr. Lcland is probably the
best known of , any traveling man n the South
Platte country , and his many friends con-
gr.ttulato him on his recovery.
There Is nothing so profitable as advertis
ing and n popular way to do BO is in a display
of the goods to bo sold. This Is the belief
expressed by Mr. W. U. Howard , represent
ing the G. M. Jnrvis company of Sun Jose ,
California , at the druggist's convention at
Lincoln last week. And these who paid the
display their rcsixjcts con testify to the good
qualities of the goods exhibited. A popular
representative is bound to make any line of
goods popular. This being u fact the sue-
cess of tno Jnrvis is assured.
Flowers , richly perfumed and delicately
fragrant were wreathed into lovely bouquets
and strewn by the hundreds from the adver
tising supply of Salon Palmer , the great Now
Yorit perfumer , through his popular repre
sentative , Mr. A. B. Levi , nt the druggist's
convention in Lincoln last week. Mr. Lev !
has for years represented tills house and is
nn energetlo nnd Interesting worker nnd
wholly deserving the great success ho 1ms at
tained iu so thoroughly placing his goods
throughout the west.
The Boisterous Atlantic
is a terror to timid voyngora , scarcely
less on account of the perils of the dco'p
thuii the almost cortuinty of sea sick
ness. The best curative of mal do incr
is Hostottor'fl Stomach Bitters , which
bottles the stomach at once and prevents -
vents disturbance. To all travolorrfaud
tourists , whether by sea or land , it pre
sents a happy medium between the
nauseous or ineffectual resources of the
medicine chest , and the problematical
benefit derivable from an unmedicatod
alcoholic stimulant , no matter how puro.
The jarring of a railroad car elton pro
duces btomacliic disorders akin to that
caused by the rolling of a ship. For
this the Uittors is a prompt and certain
remedy. The use of brackish water ,
particularly on long voyages in the
tropics , inevitably breeds disorders of
the stomach und bowels. Hosteller's
Stomach Bitters mixed with impure
water nullifies its impurities. Simil
arly it counteracts malarial nnd other
prejudicial iiilluences of climate ornt-
mosphoro , as well as the effects of exposure -
posuro and fatigue. Use it for kidney
complaints , rheumatism and debility.

lived nt Uclhvood , Nob. , engaged as a con
tractor and builder. During nil the summer
of that year I was troubled with Kidney
Complaint. I got so bad that I had to quit
work and put inysslf under a physician's
care who pronounced my ailment to bo
Brlghl's Disease of the Kidneys. I kept fallIng -
Ing In health all thotimo and could only leave
my bed or room on very pleasant days. I
suffered tcrriblo pains and was constantly
growing weaker. I thought something must
bo done nnd thnt quickly. I tried another
phyalolnn , who was n Professor In a Medical
College at Omaha. 'I had to go on the cars
about ten miles to his onlco In David City.
One day I went to BOO him and ho was not at
hoTiio. I wont to the hotel to wait for a train
homo , but was In such pain that I could not
keep still. I was so far gene that I kept pass
ing blood every few minutes , together with
small pieces that looked llko liver. I went
to a drug store to got something to case the
pain and saw there n bottle of "Warner's Safe
Cure" on the counter. I bought It nnd began
to take it. The first twelve hours after tak
ing it , there was but llttlo change. First I
noticed that I began to sleep batter nnd the
discharge began to grow thinner nnd lighter
nnd gradually resumed the natural color.
After taking less than three bottles of "War-
nor's Safe euro" and remaining qulot for n
few weeks , I was well and nblo to resume
work nt my trndo. I did not take any medi
cine but "Warner's Safe Cure. " I nni now
53 years old and have never had any return
of my former complaint. I tell nil who suf
fer with lame back or kidney complaint to
try "Warner's Safe Cure. " I am sure that
if I had not missed the doctor on that day at
David City and found "Warner's Safe Cure"
would not have 11 vcd thirty days longer.
CIAIIKE. Neb. , Dec. 9,1837. I have used a
number or bottles of "Wnrnor'a Safe Cure"
and it has given satisfaction. I would advise
every ono that is troubled with their kidneys
to use it.
CnnsTEit , Nob. . Jan. 8,18SS. In the sum
mer of 1SS1,1 took cold , which led to catarrh
of tho-Dladder. I was confined to uiy bed for
weeks. I had a Kood doctor , but onlv par-
tlally recovered from the attack. I was so
bad thnt my bladder gathered and broke and
I passed a teacupful of pus through a
catheter. After that time , whenever I would
take cold , I would experience the same old
trouble. Two years ( ago I began to tnlto
"Warner's Safe Curennd after taking four
bottles I got well and I am to-day as wall as
ever. I am 58 years old. . My wife has been
troubled for several years with kidney com
plaint , and at times wns so bad that she al
most lost her mind. She commenced to use
"Warner's Safe Cure" "Warflfir'a Safe
Nervine" nndWarner's Safe Pills , " and
no"w she is feolincr as well as she over did.
Wo feel very grateful
GIUUON , Nob. , Nov. , 29 , 1887. I toke "War
ner's Safe Cure" as a Tonic and Liver Regu
lator. My wife takes "Warner's Safe Cure"
for Liver complaint , and it seems to do her
more good than anything she has yet taken.

Shot a Hugo Panther.
Marvio Watson , a lad sixteen years of
ngo nnd well known to the young Santa
Rosans , engaged in an exploit on the
ranch of G. Watson , near Ingrams , ono
day last week which is worthy of note ,
as illustrating the "stuff" of which our
California boy is made. IIo was walk
ing leisurely through the brush with
his rifle on his shoulder , when his two
dogs , which were gambolling playfully
at his hcnls , suddenly pricked up their
auditory organes and started off on a
brisk trot on the track of some wild
animal. True to the hunter's instinct
the hey was immediately on the elcrt
and not very far in the roar of his now
excited dogs. Arriving at the haso of a
tall trco the canine trailers halted and
raised their heads and voices towards
the top of a tree.
These perched in the branches was
an animal the species of which rather
puzzled the young hunter , hut being a
skilled marksman ho would not have
hesitated in exorcising his skill oven
though the animal were a Bengal tlgor.
IIo llrcd and with ascroam such as only
proceeds from the lungs of a California
lion , the huge animal half spranir and
half tumbled to the ground.
The wound inflicted by the bullet
wns not a fatal ono , and the ferocious
animal gave battle to the dogs , gradu
ally retreating the meanwhile. The
young hunter did not hesitate for au
instant In pursuing his game and soon
found another opportunity of planting a
bullet in the hugo body , which proved
fatal. The animal measured ever seven
feet in length.
Blood AVill Tell.
There is no question about it blood
will toll especially if it bo an impure
blood. Blotches , eruptions , pimples and
bulls , are all symptoms of an impure
blood , duo to the improper action of the
liver. When this important organ fails
to properly perform its functions of puri
fying and cleansing-trio blood , impuri
ties are carried to all'barts ' of the system ,
and the symptoms above referred to are
merely evidences of the struggle of
Nature to throw off 411o poisonous germs.
Unless her warnings bo needed in time ,
serious results are coHaln to follow , cul
minating in liver ol"lcldnoy disorders ,
or oven in consumption. Dr. Piorco'a
Golden Medical Discdvory will prevent
aud euro these diseases , by restoring the
liver to a healthy condition.

Young Will Penson , son of old man
Bob Penson , sickened mid died , says
the Arkausaw Traveller. Mrs. Pensou ,
the young man's mother , was anxious
that a preacher named Dabbs should de
liver the funeral oration. Old man Pen-
son wont to the preacher and said :
"Parson , my wife is putty nigh dead
with grief. "
"Yes , brother , I know that. "
"An' the children air awful stirred
up"
"Oil , yes , brother , " the preacher ro-
sponded.
"Well , now , " said old Ponson , "I'm
mighty glad you undorstan' the thing
so well , fur in this here fuuoral tor do ,
I don't want nuthin' said that will jerk
the pillar out from under the head uv

son , "I waut you to preach my son's
funeral. "
The preacher came. The neighbors
had come and had arrayed themselves
into the most dismal of all assemblages
a country funeral. The grief stricken
mother , whoso whole life had boon cen
tered in her son , mourned in the corner
of the room , and the children , struck
with awe , hung back and whisuored to
each other.
The preacher arose and began to
speak of the noble qualities of the boy ,
extolled his virtues , and spent many
words iu illustrating his manly quali
ties. The mother groaned. The
preacher , seeming to take encourage
ment , began to draw about him the
mechanical appliances of emotion.
The mother shrieked. The friends
began to wipe their eyes. The preacher
throw himself back and began to paint
an awful picture of death and gave his
hearers a startling etching of the ne
cessity of repentance. The mother
groaned in anguish. The father ominously
nously shook his head. The preacher
raved. Ho walked the floor and shouted
with mourner's bench declamation. The
mother fainted. The father shook hjs
head and muttered something.
At the grave the mother had become
almost calm. The preacher began to
talk of the noble qualities of the boy.
The mother fainted again.
' 'One day , two weeks after the burial ,
old man Ponson called on the preacher.
"Why , " said the man of texts , "I did
not expect to sco you so soon. Any
thing you fool like giving mo is all
right , but wo can afford to wait awhile. "
"I have waited long enough for what
I ewe you , " said old man Ponson. "I
owe you a blame good whuppin' , an' it's
got to bo paid right now. "
"Why , I don't understand you , sir. "
"Yas , mobbo not , but I undertsan'
you. When I axed you to preach the
funorol sermon uv my boy you said that
you wouldn't stir my folks up. I had
talked tor my wlfo about grace an' res
ignation till I had got her almost re
signed , but you came an' knocked it all
down. You told her about despair
when 1 wanted you tor toll her about
hope. You painted a pictur' uv what
wo had lost , when I wanted you tor
show whut our son had gained. Take
off your linen , cap'n , for I'm goin' tor
use you rough. "
"Why , I surely don't understand
you. "
"Wall , you will. You shove out the
black boxes uv sorrow whar you mout
unfold the bright packages uv hope ,
"
you
IIo seized the preaaher , choked him ,
boat him and throw him out of the
houso. Ponson was arrested and tried ,
but the humane jury rendered a verdict
to the effect that it is a minister's place
to brighten instead of to blacken ; that
ho should console instead of deepen
sorrow.
