Neutrality Inilpprmlrnci * .
Merchant Traveler : There is no such
thtn iw neutrality it ) thinking in this
busj American world. The waves of
social , political and commercial life
beat ubout the life of every man. Ho is
but a liirgim. ( 'Hid a dolt who can gaze
on this tfrcatbnttlo for human supremacy
without bolnp wtirred by the fires of am
bition to take an active part In itaopora-
tionn. To bo nuutriil rcKiirdini , ' the
great cjui'btiotis of the day is to bo with
out the elements of manhood. So liko-
wino is it possible for men to keep
neutral ground regarding those things
which concern them nearly in ttioir
social and business affairs. Every occu
pation , almost , has its order ,
ita club , its lodge or its asso
ciation. In and through I ho HO
organi/ations , trades and professions
discover and make known to the world
their d''iires and their achievements.
Traveling men , no lest than other.- ) ,
have need of such organi/jition. In
union only can tli y hope to battle suc
cessfully the evils with which they tir
faurroundiM. , or abolish the tyraniqs to
which they arc subjected. K'very man
who carries : i grip has an interest in
K'eing tlitino ahSociatioiiH grow htrong.
Ilo cannot bp neutral. Ho must Uilcc
sid " ? with his i-onirudci or he is against
them. No human being worthy the
name is without inlluonce. It is his
ilutj to HCO that that inllucticc is cast
on the right side. Wait for another to
do for von what you arc able to do for
yourself and it will noyer bo done.
The chickoii that lies in the shell
waiting for some outside , influence
to open the door to life
dies while its entorprimng brother
pocks through its environment and
walks abroad in the sunlight. Travol-
ingmt'ii may not bo of the same mind
regarding means and measures. Inde
pendence of thought oroliibits this , but
they cannot allord to keep out of asso
ciations formed for their benefit on this
account. It IP thcro that their ideas
will bo of UHO. It is there that their ar
guments will have force and their voice
count in the establishment of thorn.
Out of many good suggestions is finally
formed the best plan posiible. Every
man's ideas are worth something.
Yours niiij be the most valuable of all.
Give it a trial , ( io where your voice
may bo hoard and sponk for the good
of yourself and your brother travelers.
Join hands with'those who are working
/or the benefit of the clasi to which you
belong. Don't be afraid to criticise the
workings of an association , for it is only
through being purged of its faults Unit
it can eon1 ; , .o iiltimato good , but go 111-
insidp wilere jonr criticism will have
weight. Fight for the truth if you fight
alone but fight in the organi/uition and
not out of it. In one case you are its
friend , in the ether its enemy. The
bigot who can see no wrong in anything
with which he has to do is to bo "pitied
if not despised. Ho none of these. But
n fearless advocate of truth , right and
justice can do far more toward correct
ing the evils of an order when he is u
member than when ho is not. Join the
travelingmon's associations. It is your
duty. And once in be not afraid to
fight wrongs either inside or out of its
charter.
Fond of a Joke.
St. Paul Globe : II. B. Smith , is the
way it reads upon the hotel register.
Every ono knows Hub Smith as a jolly
good follow who always adds cheer by
his presence. He is but one of the
great army of commercial tourists , and
travels out of St. Louis , selling vinegai
with n side line of soaps from Chicago.
One of his stock arguments is , "If J
don't bell this vinegar it will sour on
my hands. " Hub is something of n
wag , and often plays n practical joke
upon seine unsuspecting fellow. Ik
was un at Detroit , Minn. , about the
time of the opening of the Hotel Minnesota
seta , and it happened that Barnum'i
or some other show was In towr
the same day. Smith approaches
the clerk , grip in hand , and asked as U
the capacity of the ollico safe , am
gently hinted that he was the cashiei
of the fahow. The safe was inspected
nrid by turning out nil the books , etc.
room was made for the grip , and itva -
safely ensconced within. There was i
confederate or two in the scheme , anc
when exploded the clerk said : "Cigar :
all around , gentlemen. " Another time
Hub walked into the principal hotel a
Madison , Wis. , ( it was about the tinu
of Jack Demp o8 ' visit to the Twit
Cities ) and in a bold hand rcg
istered Jack Dempsey and asked Ube
bo shown a room. The clerk whirloi
the register around , and reading thi
name assigned him to ono of the bos' '
rooms , and with a great deal of eivilitj
piloted the way up. Hub remained i
few moments , and coining down stair
found a half dozen follows scanning tin
tame , but undaunted , he appro-icho (
wie ilork , and asked to bo shown th <
7o lollleo. As he walked down th (
street his confederates overheard sue !
remarks "Whatsplendid shoulders. '
"Look at his legs ! " "Ain't ho n slug
gerV Returning to the hotel he wen
to his room , but the great center of at
traction that afternoon was the ho to
olileo , where nearly every man in towi
could have boon seen. The joke wa
only terminated when Smith hail to foci
some local newt-paper reporter who pro
fiunlod his curd just after supper.
National Union.

"I had a conductor pretty badly rat
tled on my hust trip , " said n drummer
who had just "got in. "
"IIowV" he was asked.
"Well , I'll tell you. It was rather
funny , and the joke came near being on
me. I was carrying a grip belonging
to another man and it had his full name
on it-call itV. . B. Brown. Then I
had purchased a hat that had been
specially made for another man , but
didn't fit him. It was a handsome silk
hat and had his full name in the lining
eall it Henry Smith. Well , I wanted
to run into Chicago for n. day or two ,
and as luck would have it , I ran across
ono of thesn return-trip excursion tick
ets , which I bought for almost nothing.
I was busy reading some paper when
the conductor came along , and I jtint
"landed him the ticket without looking
ip. He seemed a long time punching ,
nd just as I looked up to see what the
matter was he asked ,
"bee here ! Wlwt'-t your name ? "
"By George ! 1 had forgotten the
mine on the ticket , and for a moment I
ivas rattled. Then I said :
" 'It's on the ticket. Can't you read ? '
"Ilo looked nt the ticket again and
hen he looked at me. I know that
iomething was wrong , but I couldn't
hink what it was. .
' 'Woll , ' ho said nt last , 'you've got
ne whip-awed this time. '
" 'What's the matter ? ' I asked.
" 'The ticket pays Thomas Edwards ,
, ho grip roaus W. B. Brown , and the
ining of your hat shows Henry Smith.
What in thunder is your name any way ? '
"Sure enough my hat was lying face
up on the seat and my grip had the
nunio turned toward him. I had to
augh as I replied :
' "My name's Edwardw. '
' "Well , 1 guess that'll have to go'ho
; aid. 'I can t chooo from three. '
"Just the same , though , ho asked
what my name was every tune he passed
through the car. And the funniest purl
of it was that not one of the three names
iViis mine. "
The Sumo OKI Hill.
In some hotels , says the Hotel World ,
he breakfast bills of faro are seldom
ir never changed. Enough is placed
upon the card to include almost even- ,
, and these are placed before the
; uests every day in the year. The prnc-
ice has nothing to commend it ; not
even the plea of economy. It may bo
asking too much of a low priced hotel
Lo ask a daily change of menu forbreak-
i.'st , but there arc other ways out of the
dilemma. Different lists can be printed
'or different days , in the future ; rotated
during the week , and thus affording va-
ioty. The identical tame list day after
day "are sure to become monotonous ; the
same paper , typo , dishes and
arrangements afford the guests
not the least pleasure in the way of
curiosity or surprise. He knows when
ho arises in the morning just what ho
will have for breakfast , while if a fewer
: md different dishes appeared on ditlcr-
ent days the element of doubt and sur-
oriso would add to the pleasure of dining ,
and it might also stimulate the steward
to place upon.the table a new dish once
in n while. With the wiino bill ho has
no incentive for this ; he and the cook
will give the breakfast no thought ex
cept to carry out the old routine. It is
much to bo doubted whether no bill at
all is not preferable to the same punted
list year in and \car out.
What U HAH Done.
The inter-state commerce law , says
the Merchant Traveler , seems to bo ob
served morj in the breach than the ob
servance. Chicago , St. Paul , Kansas
City , DCS Moines , Davenport , Dubuque
and many other cities have entered
complaints to the commission and have
themselves in turn been complained of.
The law thus far has accomplished little
beyond stirring up a feeling of animos
ity among the railroads. The trial in
now at Davenport may result
Progress a precedent for the en
forcement of the law , but it is very
doubtful if any great good will come of
it in the end. Corporations are made
up of human beings , and humanity is
selfish and ambitious. Towns will con
tinue to enter secret compacts with rail
roads to advantage themselves at the
expense of the law and railroads will
continue to use the parsimony of indi
viduals and towns to further their own
interests. It is only when either party
discovers that a rival is getting the ad
vantage of them that thu law is brought
into requisition. It depends on whose
ox is gored.

Soloctlnp Messenger Hoys.
Now York Graphic * The following
advertisement attracted n crowd ol boys
this morning :
Wanted 100 boj between tha npes of 14
and 10 years , 4 feet 0 Inches or over , to lourn
telegraph messenger service. None need
apply unless well recomuiundccl , or those ac
companied tiy tmrents or RUiinlinns ; good
imsiMons to accepted applicants Apply b
Ucv street , 0 u. tn. dully.
They collected nbout the door singly
and in groujw. long before the hour ap
pointed. Some wore neat , clean boys ,
who chewed by their manners and at
tire the care of fond mothers' . Others
there were who looked as if they had
never made the acquaintance of water ,
comb or brush. Still they were not the
wotbt-looking boys , only unfortunate ,
with no one to euro for them , who do
not know how to take care of them
selves.
N. F. Sonford , the puperinlendent of
the inerwiitjer er\ ice in this city , ex
amined ciich applicant per.-onally' Ho
is n gentleman who has about JOXK ( )
boys a year to deal with. He can pick
a good boy out , who e face may be begrimed -
grimed with dirt , and just an often will
toll si boy who comes with church and
Sunday-school references that he docs
not want him. lie is an expert in judg
ing boys. About twenty-five passed in
review before him while a reporter was
present this morning.
"Your namoV" ho asks in a quick ,
sharp tone of voice.
"John May. "
"What have ' you been doing for a liv
ing. John V"
"Helping mo father. " The boy was a
big hulking fellow , who could not look
the superintendent in the face.
"What does your father do ? "
"Nuthin1. "
"Ah ! What were you doing before
you undertook the severe task of help
ing your father ? "
"Worked as a messenger. "
"Yes. you were hero ten days last
February , then you loft to help your
father. Was he doinganything then ? "
"Nuw , sir. "
" 1 am afraid he never will , John , or
you either , or any boy that is willing to
live idle since fast February. Good-
day , John , " and the boy knew he was
not wanted.
"My Sunday-school teacher sajs I am
the best boy in her c1ns- > . I ne'ver go
with bad boys. My mamma says I may
work as a messenger if I do not have to
get up too early , and if you give me a
nice place and a good salary and uice
companions , " said a neatly dressed but
precocious -looking boy about thirteen
years old. Mr. Sanford laughed and
said :
"When President Green , of the West
ern Union dies I'll send for you. You
will be old enough then , and that is
about the only place I can think of now
that would suit jou. "
With a look of wonder on his face the
boy went away. Several others that fol
lowed were engaged.
"You leave hero or I'll have you ar
rested. " shouted Mr. Sanford , as a red
headed hey loomed up before him for
un instant and then fled.
"Ho was discharged for dishonesty a
year ago , but had the nerve to come in
here for re-employment four weeks
ago. " explained the superintendent. "I
hascd him then , but here ho is back

Detroit Free Press : "Talking of try-
ng on ladies' snoos , " said a clerk in a
> rominent shoe store , "it is one of the
nest delicate and arduous duties' that
alls to the lot of a salesman. Why .the
most innocent remark maybe construed
nto an affront , and the clerk find him
self called to account. Have you ever
noticed that a boot and shoe man does
verv little talking ? "
"Do you mean in soiling goods ? "
"Yes' . Some yeara ago a clerk in a
New Orleans shoo store lost his life for
paying a lady a compliment about the
si'/o of her foot ? "
"Are Detroit ladies as sensitive on
ihe subject ? "
"It requires very nice discrimination
to know when to pay a lady a compli
ment on the Bi/.e of her foot. We have
some ladies come here who possess re
markable beautiful feet , and it would
be worth my place if I made any remark
about them. The others just as fas
tidious in all respects will expect a
little well-directed flattery ; in fact , will
challenge it by deprecating their feet.
Then some ladies will not allow us to
put their boots on , while others will
treat us exactly as if we were foot stools
or button hooks. "
"Arc ladies hard to please ? "
"Well , I should just say so. Their
feet are M ) tender they want to wear a
loose shoe , and they always buy R tight
one. Then they always try them sitting
down , and it is the hardest work to get
them tostnnd up and step around. Some
times I nin nearly distracted trying to
get a good fit and one that w ill not have
to bo returned. But ladies are more
sensible now nbout their shoes than
they used to be. Thov wear the com
mon senfe and low iciis and have more
comfort. "

London Telegraph : Thee who still
( -till take an interest in the trim and
tragic history of the "Lovor.s of Ver
ona , ' ' who-e lamenlnblo fortunes have
been immortalized bi 3hakesx.'are. | will ,
no doubt , be glad to learn some of the
latest particulars respecting the tomb
of Juitot. M. Victonn Joncleres , the
distinguished composer and musical
critic , has just paid a visit to Verona ,
and ho states that thu tomb of Romeo s
sweetheart , which is at the bottom of a
garden in the old cloister of the Fran
ciscan convent , is absolutely in ruins.
Above it is a kind of niche in a brick
wall , which is surrounded by bits of
broken columns and capitals. The niche
is full of visiting cards , and hanging on
the walls is n wreath with a card at
tached to it. bearing the name "Madam
Talbot Shakespeare , " whom M. Jon-
cleies put down as a descendant of the
Bard of Avon. On the wall to the left
is a portrait of "Friar Laurence. "
Romeo is buried in Mantua , and it is to
bo hoped that his tomb is in a bolter
state of preservation than that of his
lady-love. The attention of the cura
tors of old and famous Italian monuments
ments or of those persons who venerate
the romantic and antique ought cer
tainly to be called to the statements of
the French composer , who has , no
doubt , accurately described what he
saw during his \isit to Verona.

Colonel Scott on Unooln.
October Century : Of all war students
none was so well qualified to speak with
authority on this , point of military abil
ity as the late Colonel Robert N. Scott.
'
H'is intimate personal acquaintance
with the prominent actors in that war ,
his varied personal experience of mili
tary service , and , above all , his relation
to and familiarity with the "Rebellion
Records , " gave him the right to speak
with authority.
Having to call upon him some years
since at his "War Records" office , the
business in hand led naturally to some
discussion of the leaders of the army.
Colonel Scott showed mo letters' , tables
and documents , then unpublished , that
led him to certain conclusions in respect
to certain men. Th a looking up ho
said , with enthusiasm- vehemence :
"I tell you , M. , the biggest military
man we had was Abraham Lincoln. "
Ho disclaimed for him , of course , knowl
edge of military technique ; but in re
spect to what should and what should
not be done , and when and where , he
said Lincoln "was more uniformly right
and less frequently wrong than any man
we had. "

Women Who Jarc.
Now York Letter in Hartford Post :
Passing the sub-treasury recently I no
ticed near the entrance a number of
young women whoso appearance was so
peculiar that it immediately arrested
my attention. If the reader should ask
mo what that peculiarity was I co.ild
hardly explain it. Perhaps it might be
termed a nonchalance of free manner
that indicated disregard for observa
tion. They had a cool audacity , which ,
though not brazen , was bold enough to
face any opposition , and , though I could
see at a glance that they wore not stage
players , yet it was evident they were
in public life , and could bo at home
even before a crowd. In a few mo
ments I saw thorn step up to the
cashier's window , where each presented
a check and drew the money , and
then I learned that they were tlie cus
tom house inspectresses , who wore col
lecting their month's pay. No wonder
they had such nonchalant , resolute
faces. These are the women that coolly
order a passenger into a private room
and strip her sufficiently to reveal
fraud. These are the women who find
laces packed in bustles and diamonds
concealed in tresses of hair , and I need
hardly say that they are the terror of
smugglers. In a recent cose they found
a passenger wearing a petticoat that
weighed twenty-five pounds , being made
double so as to carry smuggled goods.
These ins | > octreB5es are among the most
useful public servants , and they have
almost broken up the once expensive
system of woman's smuggling which
men could not do , for Shakespeare says
to make a sweet lady sad is a soiir
offense.
