Drummers In n Wreck.
The commercial travelers who have mnd (

It was also scon that tha air was broken ii

The Omaha boys attracted special attcntioi

Foil From n Wmilow.
I. W. Wintersteln , n St. Louis drummei
registered at the Oak Leaf hotel in Littl
Kock a f uw days ago , says the Democrat , an
being very tired asked at once to bo shown t
his apartments. The dark assigned him
front room on the second floor , and did nc
sco him any moro till nearly 4 o'clock thl
morning , when ho was found crushed and ii
sensible on the rock pavement below , whet
ho had fallen from u second story windov
Tired nnd worn out ho had fallen asleep in
few moments after ho retired , but h
slumbers were disturbed by fretful dreams.
Ho was In the heart of a great city whei
everything was bustle and confusion. Ever ;
where ho went a great , stalwart man with tli
face of a vicious doy , and oycs that shon
with the 11 ro of a fiend , followed in his fee
steps and crept in his shadow with diabolic ;
stealth.
The drummer dodged nnd used ovot
possible strategy to get away from his ui
welcome companion , but to no avail. Evot
where ho went these murderous eyes Mroi
leering upon him with n look of hellish hat' '
At last ho came to the bank of a great rivei
wncro was anchored a vessel which was a
most ready to sail. Pausing a moment i
said ! "I'll go on board and leave this groc
city of shadows behind , " and with that ri
solve ho stepped not on the gangway of
boat , but through his window to the stoi
floor of the court below. How long he U
there no ono will ever know.
When ho regained partial consciousnes
his head was lying in a great pool of bloo
and ho felt that to move was almost doat
but ho managed to ralso hiinsolf on his ham
and knees , and in this manner crawled a fe
yards towards the main door. He was dl
covered by the night clerk , who immediate
summoned n doctor. A physician examiui
him , and found that his jaw was broken
two places , and ho had received other sorio
internal iujuries from the fall. Ho has bc <
carefully attended to and will recover , b
it was ono chance out of a hundred. Ho ia
young manof good appearance and had n
been dissipating , as the clerk will attest.
They Will Not Pay License.
Kansas traveling men now have an an
ll < wnnA iWlslou from their own courts , sa
nn exchange. On December 04 last a bo
agent , named H. H. Pelton , was canvass !
in Fort Scott for u work sold only by si
scrlptlon. There is a city ordinance requ
Ing "drummers" to pay a license too , whi
for book nnd map agents is (1 a day or $ &
year. Pelton did not procure a license , a
a complaint was iilod against him in t
police court. Ho was arrested , found null
nnd lined. Ho appealed to the district cod
and wus again defeated and assessed $ ' 5 a
costs , when ho finally carried his case to t
supreme court. Tim main question involv
was , whether a city "may bo empowered
the laws of its own stata to impose a llcon
tax upon a commercial 'drummer,1 or oil
persons of another state , for merely offerl
to sell goods by sample. " The court hoi
that this question has Dcon settled by t
supreme couit of the United States in fay
of the "drummor , " nnd reverses the doolsi
of the court below.
Ho WnTT Flirt.
The following experience of a commorc
traveler , from the Merchant Traveler , v
be of use to the democratic boys on t
i end :
An M. T. who is an urdent admirer
Cleveland nnd ' 1'hurnmn , nnd sports n i
bandana as an earnest of his devotions , ca
to grief nt Amos , Ia. , the other day , on
count of It. Flirting with strangers boon
such n cruzo among the school girls , th (
that ttift city fathers took the matter
hand nnd passed un ordinance making i
finable offense for nny person to "flirt vt
the handkerchief or otherwise coinmunie
with strangers on the street * or In pul
places by signs or signals. " No sooner I
our drummer triond Hashed his gay ensign
political opinion In that town than ho v
run In anil caused to pay u line and co
amounting to ti5JO ( for being a "gti
lllrL" Such is the reward of patriotism.
