Times : "Did you overhear
of Gib Lnno who kept hotel at lUpon ,
"Win. ? " tisketl u traveling iiuui ut the
Tremont.
"Gib's house was tltc most popular In
the woot for traveling men. I have
traveled the whole of a Saturday night
HO us to lie there on Sunday , lie WIIH n
typical landlord in npjKHtrunco and had
one eye. Ho was a jolly soul and loved
n joke. He was always putting up one
on homebody and we were always put
ting up one on him. I remember once
we brought a man to hit * liouwj whom
wo introduced aa deaf. Old Gib began
to yell at the new arrival at the top of
lilti voice. You could hear Gib tolling
him stories .x block away. lie kept this
un one whole day and until Into in the
night. Finally they went into the bar
to take a "night-cap. " A half-dozen
traveling men wore standing around
inid Gib introduced his guest , yelling
the name of each man until you could
hear it out in the Btreet. After the
introductions were all made the
} > iirkue | > er , who WHS "on , " turned to
the new guest and asked him almost
in a whibpcr , 'What will you
havci" whereupon the deaf replied
'whisky. ' Old ( Jib came pretty nigh
nceing out of his blind eye when ho
heard this and haw that lie had been
.Veiling a whole day and half of the
night at a tnun who could hear as well
art he could. It cost hiiii lots of money.
There was one man in the house , a
traveling man , who didn't know the
joke , however , and Old Gib asked to bo
permitted to piny it on him when he
came in , so as to get even. The man
came in soon after. He had a big
spotted dog with him that somebody had
sent him from Kngland. The dog had
quite a history. Old Gib introduced
this man to the 'deaf guest , telling the
owner of the dog at the same time that
the 'deaf man wus a dog fancier. The
dog owner began at once on his upper
register and talked to the 'deaf man
until lie came pretty near tearing out
his tonsils. After ho had talked an
hour ho that ho woke up everybody in
the houbo the drinks were ordered. The
barkeeper again askml 'dcafy' in a
whisper what ho would have , and again
he answered 'whisky. ' The owner of
the dog dropped as though he had been
thrown from the roof , and 1 think that
Old Gib broke a blood vessel laughing
over the way in which ho got oven , for
ho died boon after. "
City Drummers.
In a comprehensive review of the
numerous and important class known 119
city drummers , the Chicago .Journal
thus "sizes up" two specimens :
There are naturally drummers of dif
ferent sorts. 1'orhans the most conspic
uous is the convivial drummer , for he is
soon more frequently in public places.
The average merchant from the interior
likes "a good time" when ho comes to
the city , and the convivial drummer
takes him in hand. They visit together
the resorts patronized by that class , and
Hvo fast for a day or two. The drummer
will not permit his country cousin to foot
any of the bills. It is alwavs his treat ,
and from a plethoric roll of greenbacks
he pays all the expenses of the twain
while going the rounds , anU in his
monthly settlement with his firm
charges tiio cost to the expense account.
There is nothing niggardly about him.
He apparently proceeds on the theory
that money \yiis made to spend , and ho
spends it with a lavish hand. Hut he
usually brings his guest to the point
and before lie loaves him sells him i
bill of goods double or treble in value
what ho intended to purchase. Ho is
usually the most successful of his class.
for he understands human nature thor
oughly and knows how to take advantage
tago of its weakness.
The religious drummer is another
who meets with great success in his
chili tig. Ho knows a man of religious
bent as far as ho can see him. A visit
to the Young Men's Christian Associa
tlou meeting , introductions and brio
convcr.satioiiH with the brethren , to
whom ho is there introduced , a quio' '
evening spent in a Christian family , al
prepare him to accept as gospel trutl
all that the drummer says about the
quality , price and desirability of goods ,
Ho is not as expensive a customer as hi
convivial customer , but he buys on
closer margins , and thus the profits on
his trade are about equalized. Ho it
not chaperoned by ono of the convivia
drummers , but by a scdnto and sancti
inoniouB attache of the firm , who warn ;
him of the many wicked allurements o
this very wicked city. His buslnesi
standing , however , ia scrutinized jus
ns closely before the goods he orders
ard shipped.
No Breach or Promise.
Chicago Herald : A few months ago ,
tft ono of the down-town coffee houses ,
thorn was a bright girl who assisted in
the serving of pancakes , doughnuts and
the like. She was far from handsome ,
but she had tin attractive way about her
< * hich "went" with the patrons of the
place. Ono of them a studious young
man of a literary turn met her ono
evening ns both were waiting for the
bridge to swing to , and they fell into
pleasant converse. All of a sudden she
staggered him by suggesting that they
got married and each contribute toward
the common exchequer. Ho did not
wish to hurt her feelings by making a
positive declination then and there , so
ho asked time to think it over. The res
taurant lost at least 0110 customer , as the
young man sought to avoid her. The
other day he was [ Kissing along a busy
street down town when ho happened to
glance in at the window of one of the
stereotyped bakery lunch rooms. There ,
deftly turning the palatable but indi
gestible llap-jack , ho saw the heroine of
his leap year experience. She saw him
also , and beckoned him in. With n flut
tering heart ho entered the place and
greeted her. Pointing with her batter
wand to a dapper young man overlook
ing the tables in the roar , she re
marked : "That's my husband. We've
been married six weeks and wo own
this joint. " The countenance of the
studious young man briehtenod visibly ,
and ho hastened to extend congratula
tions. He hnd scented a breach of prom
ise suit from afar off when she beckoned
to him , and ho was happy whoa ho
learned the uxistiuff state of affairs.
Proponed Amendment.
The proposed amendment to the N.
TV. T , M. A. constitution reads ua fol
lows :
"Resolved , That article 2 , section 1 ,
bo nmoiidod so as to read : All persons
' of good moral character , between the
of twenty-ono nnd forty yonra , who
nro now. , and whohavo been for the year
last pnfit , engaged In the wholesale
trade , or who represent a company or
corporation , shall bo eligible for mom-
borMhlp , subject to the conditions pre-
bcribod by the board of directors : pro
vided , that the proposed now member
shall not be cngagcu in any ha/ardom
business , and has at the time of his ap
plication a bona fldo residence within
the boundaries of the association. "
There are gcnerallv about a thousand
votes in the association , and it is
claimed that the passing of the amend
ment will result in the admission
of city ollcc ( men in sutllcient num
bers to control a majority of the votes ,
in which case the bonii fldo drummer
becomes a nonentity. The Merchant
Traveler expresses it- elf editorially In
'ho following pointed manner :
The amendment to the constitution of
ho Northwestern Traveling Men s as-
lociation in proposed by the board of di
rectors with ono exception D. K. Ctnk.
the only member who can bo classed
us a traveling man. The absence of his
name is significant. Wo bellove , as
lees evidently Mr. Clink , the amcnd-
nent to be against the interests of trav-
ling men and foreign to the purposes
f the association. It is a question of
itul importance and should be freely
discussed. The olllcial organ favors the
measure. This is not strange. Presi
dent James 1) . Miller is its author , and
ho ofilciul organ believes in the infal-
ibility of his judgment. It is another
case of pap. The amendment should bo
iliscussed freely by members of the N.
W. T. M. A.
Too Cuiuiliic.
Chicago Herald : A bright young man
connected with one of the largest whole-
ale houses in this city was induced by
: i party of friends hibt Sunday morning
to sneak away from his happy West Side
homo and indulge in a prairie base ball
iimo. The contestants had placed a
keg of beer on third1 base , and when
ever a batsman succeeded in gaining
that bnir ho was entitled to unlimited
beer until he started for the plate.
Hoing an export with the stick the
bright young man reached third a num
ber of times , and when he loft the Held
10 was pretty well Illlcd up. He re
membered that his wife had invited
company to dinner , and realizing the
fact that ho was a little the worse for
wear ho conceived the brilliant Idea of
sneaking home again via the alleyway
nnd taking a reviving nap in the coal
shed. In the alloy ho met a cra/.y _ Gor
man expressman who resided in the
neighborhood , and to him ho confided
his intentions in a maudlin way. The
expressman assisted him into the shed
and then waited for the first Fiiore. In
stead of leaving him , ns he desired , the
man walked through the back yard and
tanped on the door. The young man's
wife appeared and said : "Good morn
ing , Mr. ; my husband Ss not at
home. " The obtuse German looked
cunning and responded : "Oh , yes , ho
ish ; ho ish schleeping in do goal shot
on do bile of goal. " Ho had supposed
that the lady would bo worried at the
absence of her husband , nnd ho thought
it nest to tell her his whereabouts. The
young man threatens to lick the craxy
German on sight.
Their Franchise.
The "Drum
following query signed
mer" has been received by TUB BBK :
"I am a traveling salesman for a Bos
ton house. My house last month nmdo
my headquarters in Kansas City ; 1 have
heretofore lived in Chicajro. What i
wish to know is this :
1. Have I a right to register and vote
at the coming election in Kansas City ?
2. How long must a man live in any
stnto , providing ho is an American citi
zen , to aquiro the right to vote ?
Can you give some points on this mat
ter for the benellt of traveling men gen
erally ?
Wo hate to be disfranchised and want
to vote , if possible. "
Each state makes its own regulations
as to the time of residence necessary to
quulify a voter. In Nebraska for in
stance a residence of BIX months is re
quired , while in Now York the require
ment is a residence of a year. "Drum-
mer"in all probabilityis not entitled to
n vote In Kansas City. Should ho have a
family , howeverand that family be still
living in Chicago , his place of residence
lias not been changed and ho may vote
in Chicago.
A Drummer In Imck.
Ono by ono Omaha's commercial trav
elers are called upon to fill positions of
importance and trust where good prac
tical business men of experience are
needed. At a recent meeting of the
shareholders of the Red Cloud National
bunk in that city , M. J. Scanlon , of
Omaha , was elected president and one
of the board of directors of that institu
tion. Joe , as the boys all call him , is
only twenty-six years of ago , and the
youngest national bank president in Ne
braska. He moved to Omaha from Wis
consin in 1SS1 and entered the employ
of the Nowcomb Lumber company as
bookkeeper. Going from ono rung of
the ladder to another , ho rapidly took
his place in the front ranks of Omaha's
young business men , whore his many
sterling qualities of mind and heart
won for him the confidence and esteem
of his employers nnd the respect of
everyone with whom he came in con
tact. Mr. Scanlan made occasional trips
on the road , where ho made many
warm friends among the boys.
Theatrical 1'olcer Party.
Chicago Times : The Poker Theatri
cal party is ono of the latest social
affairs. A party of gentlemen meet and
play for a box , the railroad fare and the
supper after the performance. It may
occur to the uninnitiatod that the man
who ' gets stuck" poker parlance has
a heavy bill to settle. Ilut the poker
theatrical party is exclusive. It has
just so many at the table and they are
always the same , BO that if the theaters
don't give out each man in the game at
some stage of the season comes in for
hib expense , for you must remember
that in a gentleman's game of poker it
is understood that every player must
"get stuck" at some time. At those
gentlemen's games one can also hear a
language peculiar to themselves. For
instance , when ono of the players has
three queens ho says ho has "three
typewriters , " but no does not say it
when his wife is in the room.

THREE HARD KICKS.
Detroit Free Press : I wus down near
the lower railroad bridge at Niagara
Falls , having a couple of boys with me ,
when a hackman drove up and offered
to lake us down and show us the whirl-
: Kol , a mile below and return us to the
bridge for half a dollar each. When
this olTor was declined he said he would
uko tlio three of us for a dollar , and wo
got into his carriage. Ilo drove down
to the Whirlpool house , and as I got
out I saw a sign reading : "Fifty cents
to go down to the whirlpool. "
"You agreed to bring us down and
show us the whirlpool , " I siiid to the
hackman.
"Well , it's down those stairs. "
"But I don't propose to pay fifty cents
to go down there. "
"Then you won't see it. "
"And you wont' get your dollar1' !
"Won't IV Come , I am ready to take
you back. "
"But wo arc not ready to go. You
lied to ua , and I refuse to pay you a
cent. "
"You either pay or I'll make jelly of
you. "
"Como and try it. "
He did not accept the invitation , but
drove off up town , and a stranger said
to me :
"Ho has gone for a crowd , and you
will bo lucky to got ofT alive. It's a
shame-faced swindle , of course , and
here are a dozen of us who have been
played the same way , but what can wo
do about itV"
"You can kick against the gang. "
"Yes , but we'd get the worst of it.
They are a bad lot. You'd better send
the fellow his money. "
"I'll bo hanged if I do ! "
As we btarlod up the river on foot a
do/.en men followed to see the fun.
When wo reached the end of the street
car truck a , mob of fourteen hacktnon
received us. The ono who had lied to
us demanded his dollar. I refused to
pay it. Ho called to his mob to come
on , and I backed up to the building ,
leveled a revolver at the crowd and
waited. They didn't come on worth a
cent. They didn't care for dollars just
then. One by one they slunk away ,
while I took the cur buck to the fulls.
The louder tried lo got mo arrested for
currying ft deudly weupon , but no ono
would issue n warrant. One justice
told him in my hearing :
"Every man coming to visit the Falls
ought to como with two revolvers , and
the oftener he fires into your crowd the
bettor it will bo for the few honest people
ple here. I wish more kickers would
como hero. "
In going down the Jersey coast by
way of Now York , or , rather , by Jersey
City , I reached thai point to discover
that I was trunkless. I wont over the
river and consulted the Erie baggage
agent and after lelographing to various
points , it was found that they had boon
left in the station at Buffalo. The bag
gageman there had three hours in
which to gut them aboard , but ho had
singled mo out as a victim. Everybody
olso's trunk had come along , but mine
hud been held over for a rest. I
couldn't kick on a man 300 miles away ,
but I laid for him. All the while I was
fishing and sailing I nursed my wrath
to keep it warm , and six weeks later I
wallced into the baggage otlico at Buff
alo. I hud the documents to buck mo
up , as I said :
"On the 22d day of July I passed
through here. I was tickuled to Jersey
City slraightor than a stringand before
I loft Detroit I saw that my checks were
all right. "
"WellV"
"Well , you loft my trunks right hero
for twenty-four hours. "
"Quito likely. "
"And now you must pay for your care
lessness. "
"What ! "
"Horo is a bill of expenses made by
your neglect : There is $0 for three of
us at a hotel over night. I paid an ox-
pressman 75 cents. I paid another the
Mime. I had to hire a hack to carry mo
about In Jersey City and that's twelve
shillings more. The total expense is
$9 , to say nothing of my time and worry
nnd a day loU. "
'And you expect me to nay ! "
"You'll either pay or I'll ' bring suit
nnd send for the general baggage agent
as a witness. "
"Well crank ! "
, you are a
"No , I am not. I simply kick wnon
imposed upon. Th o road guaranteed
to deliver mo and my baggage in
Jersey City at ti certain hour ail right
unless accident prevented. There was
no accident. "
Ho stormed around for awhile and
then paid mo , and I divided the money
between two cripples at the door. Ho
said I was the meanest man he over saw ,
but it was a lesson ho will never forgot.
At Elmiru , once upon a time , I had to
wait for the western connection. No
one know how long it would bo , ns the
other train was late , and to satisfy n
natural curiosity I stopped to the ticket
window and asked of trie young man in
side :
"Will you please tell mo how late the
Erie express isV"
He did not look up from his paper nnd
I repeated the query. Ho moved a lil-
tlo this time and I was encouraged to
say :
"I hate to disturb you , but I'm very
anxious to know. "
Ho got up , came to the window and
pulled it down as ho said :
"I Know nothing about it. "
There were four men' behind , mo ,
OUR NEW ADDITION
Is being rapidly pushed to completion and wo hope to open the same by the 15th inst.
The changes and improvements which we are also making in the old store extend to
every floor and department. We propose to have not only the largest , but also the beat
arranged and best lighted Clothing Establishment.
Wo have to apologize to our patrons for the present condition of our store , but it
is unavoidable ; we are not only crowded with goods but crowded with buyers at all
times , and customers may find it a little inconvenient but they will find themselves
amply repaid by the low prices we are making throughout our entire stock and the
many bargains we are offering.
Our stock of Overcoats is enormous and the change in the weather has created
quite a demand for them. We have everything imaginable , or at least desirable , and
among our stock will bo found many lots which are marked in price far below their in
trinsic value.
The Mens' Suit stock is the heaviest ever shown and its variety warrants the as
sertion that whoever buys a Winter Suit without at least looking hero , fails to consult
his own interest. There is not an establishment in the west that offers the selection or
names the prices wo do.
Boys and Children are as amply provided for wo still have some of the special
bargain Knee Pant Suits at $2.50 a suit , which would be cheap at $5.00. Wo want every
mother to look at this suit. In long Pant Suits and Boys' and hildren' s Overcoats wo
offer great inducements.
Underwear you can buy of us at lower prices than the regular retailers pay for
them.
Gloves , Hosiery , Neckwear and all other Mens' furnishings at lowest possible
prices.
Hats are almost given away , at least you would think so if you look at the con
stant rush in our Hat Department. The quantities we handle of those goods , and the
way we buy them puts all competition out of the question.

waiting to ask the same question. I invited -
vitod them to kick. They refused.
Then I invited them to see me kick.
They accepted. There was a door to the
olllce and 1 opened it. The young man
was waxing his mustache in front of u
glass.
"Isn't it a part of your duty to answer
civil questions ? " I pleasantly asked.
"You git or I'll put a head on you ! "
he roared.
"How lute is the Erie express ? "
He rushed at me und I guvo him the
neatest black eye you over saw. I was
wondering if I shouldn't trout the other
after the same fushion , when nn oftieinl
of the road stopped up and asked for uu
explanation. When 1 had given him
one , ho turned to the young man .and
asked :
"Did you refuse to answer his quos-
tins ? "
The victim was sildnt.
"Very well ; I'll see Mr. Abbott to
morrow und suggest the need of an im
mediate change here. "
A change wus made. I huve seen the
now man , und ho will answer questions
oven about Jonah , if you wish.
The bird thai flutters least in the air
remains longest on the wing. The ef
fects of Warner's Log Cabin Hops and
Buchu Remedy are lasting because it
puts the stomuch in good working order ,
and thus the whole system is restored
to its normal , healthy condition.
