Blm Attends nn Oilrt Hop Advloo For "Frltzlo" Samples from tlio Grips Movements oi * the Tonrlste. Fun Away From ITohio. Erciybody knows the arummcr , and.abovn nil , knows that sublimated quintessence of the commercial missionary who hails from Chicago , says the Herald. Ho towers nloft llko Saul , nbovo his competitors. Everybody knows him , his dressy suit , massive watch chain and appurtenances , his gantal smllo , LIs solf-asscrttvo personality , his push and business tact Ho Is the evolved product of western life , tireless allko In work and play , fit representative of the metropolis of the vrcst. Hut not everybody knows how he , collectively and Individually , manager to extract - tract the sweets from life and to crowd a tremendous amount of fun into his exist ence. In this laudable endeavor , the drummer tnccts with the hearty co-oporatlou of a di vision of the human race hut for whom llfo would not bo worth living. There is a prevalent - lent idea that the drummer goes about llko a roaring lion seeking whom ho may de vour. Ho Is supposed to bo a masher and to give his entire tltno to prey ing upon the hearts of susceptible females. Jt Is a great mistake. The drummer is not a masher , but a mashcc. So far' from spend ing his Ufa in destroying the happiness of tno young and unsophisticated among what ho is pleased to call his clientage , the drum mer Is himself a victim. Ills lacerated heart is scarred by the bright olantos shot at him by thousands of beautiful eyes , and wore it not for his wonderful recuperative energy lie would bo a wreck. The fact is that the drummer is the slave of love , bound , like a knight of old , to wear a lady's favor In his cap and to devote himself to the service of his dulcinca. Take , for Instance , the coso of Smith , the representative of a loading dry goods House , with a salary of $3,1)00 a year and an easy going cashier to overlook his expense ac count. Thirty years old , woH-dresseil from hat to boots , good-looking in 11 manly way , and full of health and good spirits. lie grabs his grip ton minutes before train time and in a few hours Is a couulo of hundred miles away from homo. See him ns ho hums at the far-oft town ; see also what fate has thrown in his way. Is it his fault that the hello of Corntown looks over her shoulder ut the gorgeous vision ! Smith would bo ex tremely unaallant if ho did not raise his hat tosuch * a trim-built lliruro. The lady looks oguln ; she smiles. Smith's susceptible heart is ullnme. Ho speaks , the lady replies the mischief has begun. Suppose then the acquaintance made. Love laughs at locksmiths , and Smith's time is short. Somehow or other ho manages to get permission to cull. Armed with the biggest Dounuct ho can procure lie lays his offering at the feet of his temporary divinity. Ho can not help it. If the girl but what is the use of trying to divide the responsibility in such cases' The fatal curiosity which since the llrst garden party has characterized all of Eve's daughters still burns in their hearts. Smith has forgotten all about the rightful claimant to his affections , who bears his name and spends pis salary for him. Occasionally our friend makes n mistake , but that is invariably caused by his too earnest dcsiro to please. Like the sailor , with a lass in every port. Smith sometimes falls into the error of making his attentions too general. There have been cases whcro this philanthropist has mixed his dates , so to speak , and whcro two ladies como down to see him off. It is very awkward when , after u lengthy parting from Miss at her father's garden gate , ho strolls down to the depot to exchange an undying farewell with his other best girl , and the ilrst inamorata follows in the hope of "seeing him out of sight , " as the girl did IP Tom Hood's poem. Such catastrophes as are depicted hero are not entirely outside of the experience of our traveling friend. Over the consequent scene of hair-pulling , the unkindly recriminations of the ladles and their joint and vehement denunciations of the base deceiver lotus draw the mantle of charity. Rather let us thlnu of Smith in the bosom of his family , all his trials over except that of squaring his expense account. With his youngest hopeful in his arms , and Tommy ( aged nine ) performing a solo on a tin trumpet for his special bcnollt , you may fancy him cxolamlng to the partner of his 'Joys and sorrows , what a dreary miserable trip ho bad. Poor hotels , long waits at side stations , not u soul to speak to except mer chants who would not buy ; such is the bur den of his complaint. No , ho did not have a good time ; ho is going to quit this con founded road business. Tbo firm must give him oflico work so ho can bo at homo even 'ings with Ills family. "Nothing , " says Smith , "is so destructive of the domestic ties us these compulsory absences from one's \vifo and family , and I am glad to get * once moro back to my own roof and to see you all again. " And of courwo his wife believes hftn. Sim Attends an Odd Hop. In a prevlstss communication I stated that Fliad hud toy share of adventure. Perhaps , the oddest thing that occurred to mo while oa the road , was the following : My house had taken a considerable contract in furnish ing supplies for au asylum for the insauo. It was my duty to superintend the delivery of the goods , so that I often mot tbo superin tendent of the asylum , a very clover , humane eld gentleman. On ono of these occasions ho asked mo whether I would llko to remain to a hop , to be given the inmates that evening , assuring mo that it would bo a very enjoyable affair , as all violent und totally idiotic patients would bo excluded. I accepted the invita tion. tion.Tbo Tbo ball was. really delightful. The pa tients entered into it with a zest. With the exception of an occasional slight bewilder ment , u , discordant laugh , or some irrelevant remark or sound , ovcrthlng wont oa as at any similar hop given by sauo pcoplo. At onu time during the evening , I entered into conversation with n very charming , street-looking young lady , who sat near mo. To my surprise I found her conversation rollnod , connected and exceedingly Interest ing , Her easy grace of luunnor , her youthful beauty , and her evident advantages of education , made a very strong Impression upon mo , and my heart wont out in pity that ouoao well endowed should bo among tnose unfortunates. I conversed with her for noma time , and was unublo to discover what her particular nianln was. ' Full of sympathy , I loft her. and , going to the superintendent , said , with a trembling voicoi "What a dreadful nlUiotlon I What a horrible visitation of Providence I My heart . bloods for that beautiful young woman la pink. It seems mcrodlblo that any cloud should rest upon her mind. " "Oloud ! fiddlesticks 1" oriod the superin tendent. "Sho is n guest , like yourself. Let me introduce you.

The house was filled that night to ovcrllowlng , and the boys slept two in n bed , for the llrst time on record , without kicking. CoitKEit. Wordi or Wisdom From Sim. Perhaps nothing is moro doslrablo for n traveling man than to bo n good Judge of character and human nature. Sulos are fre quently effected whcro others have failed by the salesman who knew the peculiarities of his customer , wjtd falls in witli tils humors and who has the tact to urge his wares just nt the proper time. A salesman should al ways look nont and tidy , novcr bo over dressed , always bo pleasant without being obtrusive. It is In bad taste for n "drum- mor" to make himself the most prominent snbjcct of the conversation , In those days , | merchants even In remote country towns have good facilities for keeping informed , sea a bad impression will bo made by the drum mer who assumes a lofty air and endeavors to nmko the trade feel that ho knows it all , nnd that his opinion should ba accepted with out question. A drummer should never mis represent any an Icle ho oltnrs for sale , us It Is dldlcult to regain confidence niter It hits once been abused. Court com nnd careful attention should bo given every complaint ind where such is found rensontiblo and Just Jio prudent salesman will use his best en deavors to have the same righted by "tho litmso ; " but whcro n fictitious or unreason- ihle dcmaiuUls made ho should llrmly do- iHno to Interfere. Pleasant social qualities ire most desirable. A story well told , a sonir ivoll sung , n neat Httlo speech nt table , will flcn produce happy results. I have in mind n brilliant drummer who mtule many friends ilurlnc the late proslden- ial campaign by delivering un occasional lolltlcrvl speech ; hn kept himself well In- _ ormod and interested hU rural auditors greatly. I am compelled in candor to add that his speeches were republican or demo cratic , according to the crowd he was in. SIM. IlrstlngH Noti's. HASTINGS , Neb. , May 25.

At 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon fully 30,000 pcoplo were along botn sides of the river , nnd hundreds moro leanedovortho rails of the bridges , awaiting the appearance - anco of Alphonso King , the aquatic bicyclist , who was scheduled to give nn exhibition of his feats upon the waters , having been en gaged for that purpose by Brandola & Son of "The Fair. " There was some delay , but King finally raado his appearance a short distance above the Douglas street bridge. To those below it looked as If -weroToally riding n bicycle over the waves , but as ho drew nearer it could bo seen that the blcyclo was berne over the water by a catamaran arrangement. Ou cither sldo of tlio wheel was a cigar shaped cylinder made of metal and mr-tleht , making them bouyaut. The wheel , which was operated by moans of pedals as on on ordinary bicycle , had paddles afllxod to the tire , and those furnished the motive power. The handles \Voro attached to a rudder , on- abbng the rider to steer the contrivance In any direction ho desired. King rode out nearly to the middle of the streztn and zig zagged down the river until ho passed the lower bridge whore ho landed.

Flavel Scott Mines , in New I'oih World. Between the earth and heaven clouds hang low , The grass and trees are bowed with heavy tears : Flowers bait-closed In the meadows how ; The very birds are silent with their fears. Thick mists the distant bills and mountains shroud , Uncertain seem they as our dreams at night ; The tall church steeple penetrate * a cloud , Wrapping the golden cross on high fiom sight. And all the world is still-so still it seems As though some niaclcspell was on It placed ; When lot fur off , tinted with rosy beams , A mountain top against the sky is traced. Slanting the sunbeams fall , the cross above Shows suddenly , n glittering hit of gold ; The birds awake to carrolings of love , The grass and leaves bright pendent Jewels bold.
