A night was selected and all arrangements

give them ample time to reach the boat. Now
this plucky young lady wus aware that in
order to got away from the house it would bo
necessary for her to pass through the great
bnro floored dining room oft which
was the old folks-room. iAnd thb old man
would waken ut the sound of a fulling pin.

The Festive Drummer.
Indianapolis News : The drummer , or to
glVohlin his moro dignified title. * Hhe commercial
morcial traveler , " Is a type ofthe spirit and
progress of the ago. Ho is not exclusively
an American product , for they hove com
mercial travelers In all commercial countries
and everywhere they represent the life blood
of commerce. They are esseatidlly a growth
and product Of modern times and trade. A
generation or two ago they were hardly
knovyn in this country. In these days the
buyers had to seek the sellers ; now the
seller , by his representative , the drummer ,
seeks the buyer , and generally ilnds him. No
matter how inaccessible the place or what
the difficulties of travel , the drummer does
not hosltuto to start for it , and lie invariably
gets there. If every purchaser in the United
States nero a fugitive from justice and every
drUmincr a trained dotcctico , the ono could
not pursue the other with moro persistence
and success. As commerce is one of the
greatest promoters of civilization and the
drummer ono of the greatest promoters of
commerce , it follows that the drummer is nn
invaluable adjunct of the best sodloty for is
not that the host society which is the best
organized , the best governed untl the most
clvllbedl The drummer in his normal con
dition is himself an organizer , a governor ,
and a clvllizor. Ho is nlso-or ought to be , a
natural orator , n master ot tbo art of , pleas
ing. a genial companion , a good dbnl of a p < Sl-
ittciurii something of n statesman , a bit of an
elocutionist , a good salesman , a walking en
cyclopedia of markets , an authority on the
tariff- capable of umpiring anything from a
yacht race to a game of marbles , an expert in
art , music , cookery , etiquette , and an all-
round general utility man. This Is the class
of men who yesterday honored and enlivened
Indianapolis by tlidir presence in largo num.
bers. VVo trust that they had a good time
and will go uwuy feeling they have not lived
in vain.

Merchant Traveler : "Do you belong out

The small , thin-faced man with n cropped

A llttlo seed lay In the carter's path ;
A llttlo shoot bowed in the strong wind's
wrath ;
A llttlo shrub grow , by its roots hold fast ;
Then a stout tree braved all the winter's

A llttlo cough started 'twas ' only light ;
A llttlo chill shivered the hours of night ;
A little pain came and began to grow ,
Then consumption laid all his bravo strength

Bo wise iu time. Check the little

little pain ere the little ailment becomes
the strong , unconquerable giant of dis
ease. Dr. Piorco's Golden Medical

An Intelligent Monkey.
Chicago Times : 'An ' instance of the in
stinct and fidelity pfh a young monkey
c'omo's from Batignpiles , a suburb of
Paris. A Little boy , the son of an in
habitant of that paVr of the city , was
playing in one ofHhe rooms of his
father's flat with tno monkey , which is
a most intelligentand domesticated
member of its spoclos. The boy , in a fit
of juvenile caprice ' , tied the cord of , a
window blind 'around his nepk
and pretended Jta hang himself ,
to the immonsb amusement of
his simian playmHt6 , which grinned
and chattered on "a chair. Suddenly
the boy became" livid and began
to cry , for the cord had got into a foal
noose around his neck. In a , very short
space of time the monkey took in the
situation and tiled to nndo the noose
with its paws , but had to give up the at
tempt. It then hopped away to another
room , where the boy's grandmother
was sittitiff , and began to pull at her
gown , to chatter , grlmmace , and look
wistfully toward the door. At flrst ,
thinking the animal wanted to bite
ier , the old lady was frightened , 'but ' ,
seeing that it was endeavoring , with
mite and main , to drag her toward the
dopr , she ai'oso from her scat and wont ,
piloted by the monkey , to the room
whore her grandfaon was moaning. The
boy was instantly extricated from his
perilous position , though it was some
time before ho recovered from his pain
and fright.

Postoffioii Robberies.
Philadelphia Ledger : "PostoHlcerpb-
borlcs are generally a great deal like
tricks " said official
slight-of-hand , an
of the Now York postoffico to a reporter
the' other day. "Thoy seem mysterious
and incomprehensible until the manner
in which they are done is brought to
light , and then they seem simple
enough , nnd wo are ashamed that we
\\oro not able sooner to got at the bottom
tom of so plain a case. But the sim
plicity of the methods used is the rea
son that makes it so hard to discover
the robber. It is often the case in post-
oillco robberies , as in many others , that
'opportunity makes the thief. ' A clerk
or messenger may , handle a certain
pouch for a number of years and at last ,
perhaps by accident , notice how a valu
able package may bo taken and no trace
loft behind. If ho happens to bo a little
tlo weak-minded and the temptation
proves too great' ho commits what may
bo his first crime. So the difficulty in
detecting mail robbers is that each ono
is different fr6m all the others , and the
detectives are obliged to learn a new
lesson in each case. Of course , this
does not apply to cases whore a dishon
est clerk systematically steals small
amounts from letters. Clerks who do
that are not only dishonest , but foolish ,
for such tlidfts are'easily detected. "

BIGGER AND BIGGER.
Few people have any idea of the magnitude of the business wo nro doing. It is n sight to see the throng
of buyers always in our store. The biggest throng is on the second floor , among the overcoats. Though the
weather has boon warm nnd other houses have sold but few ovcrcotts , wo hnro moved thousands of them al
ready. We had nu immense sto6k enough we thought to lost us Uuough the season but tremendous
trade the past two weeks has thinned them out so much that wo have fc let up advertising them for n few
days , until we get in fresh goods , for which we have telegraphed our buyer.
Our special sales are becoming famous throughout the city and state , and in accordance with our promise to
give every week some new drives , wo will this week have a BIG SUIT SAL ! ' ] . During the next six days
wo will prove most conclusively to the thousands who may call on us , that wo faithfully keep our promises.
It is the always carrying out to tlie letter what we adver
tise , that has made The Nebraska Clothing Company famous
and our name a household word throughout this section.
The following extraordinary offerings arc mmlo for this week
Lot No. 1 , consists of about four hundred Business Suits , all sacks , plain and fancj' cheviots and cas < umcrcs ,
STRICTLY ALL WOOL , with good serge lining and honestly mode at $5.50. Mnkc no mistake , this is not
a cheap suit. It is as good as you will buy anywhere at from $10 to $12. It may seem impossible for us to
sell ifc at $5.50 , but we have promised something extraordinary and hero it is. Don't take our word for it , but
come and see for yourself.
Lot No. 2 , is a line of very fine black corkscrew suits , sacks and frocks , the regular price of which is $15 ,
and for which other houses would charge from $18 to $20. Will be sold this week at $9.50 for the sack and
$9.75 for frock suits.
In lot 3 , wo ofler the CLIMAX OF BARGAINS our great $10 suit. We have in this lot two styles of
cassimore suits. , on which we stake our reputation , that they are honestly worth double the money. One is n
plain gray , the other a fine silk mixed cassimere. We will simply say that this line of WO suits is destined to
become the greatest advertisement for us.
Lot No. 4 , IB a line of elegant cutaway Frock Suits , made of fine fancy worsted , 0110
of the choicest suits ever offered ; tailor made and beautiful fitting. These suits are -
made for men who demand and can appreciate a superior character of worktianship.
They sell ordinarily for $25 ; we dffer them this week at $13. This is the most fearful
slaughter of Suits that we ever got into in the very midst of our busiest season.
We are opening to-day and placing in stock some very handsome styles of Children's
Overcoats of beautiful designs and trimmings. The prices are in accordance with all
our goods extremely low.
