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. Mr. Sim , my daughter ,

Stick to Your fllutlinr.
OM uu , May 25. To the Kdllor of Tim
BKK : If all report * are trucy , the meanest
man on oarlh resides at O. , Neb , Wo will
not uinntlon names , but the bo.vs who tualco
that town will probably tumble without ro-
gulrl&jf any eighteen-story brick building to
wvo won thitm. The story In circulation is
that this man has forced his own mother to
the wall nud. U now trying to run her out of
( own. She was supporting him by keeping a
hotel which WAS given into his charge , and
ba induced , her to allow him to buy out a
rival concern and operate both. Since Uicn
fco l > ns bean telling the boys that his mother
ejnld only aroommodute boarders , and on
too streuuth of the assertion , has succeeded
M getting about all the transient * . yester-
Aty there wore suvon of us on the local
freight for C. , and some puo who and been
taformed of the circumstances brought the
( Matter up for < iUou sou , mid a plan of
ctioa wu MOO derided upon ; A mark- .
tug ? * tea board were produced
nnd the sketching nrtlst of the party em
blazoned it with the fAllowing epigram :
"Stick by your" mother , Frltzie. " The board
was mounted on a polo and presented to the
drum major. On arrival , the procession
formed In single fllo nnd marched up to the
hotel not Frltzio's hotel , but FrlUlo's
mother's. 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.

Laying of tlio Corner Stone of St.
Agnes Church.
The absence of Rt. Rev. James O'Connor ,
D. D , , bishop of Omaha , was the ouly ono
thing which might bo considered a draw
back to ttio ceremonies attending the laying
the corner stone of St. Agnes Catholiu

The grass and trees are bowed with heavy

Flowers bait-closed In the meadows how ;
The very birds are silent with their fears.
Thick mists the distant bills and mountains

Uncertain seem they as our dreams at night ;
The tall church steeple penetrate * a cloud ,
Wrapping the golden cross on high fiom

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

The clouds by unseen messengers are furtod ,

TK13ATIUJENT.
In tniB department we are especially successful. Oar claims of superiority ovet
all others arc based upon the fact that this is the only medical establishment man
ufacturing surgical braces and appliances for eacli individual case. Wo have
three skilled instrument makers in our employ , with impiovcd machinery , and
have all the latest inventions , as well as our own patents and improvements ,
the result of twenty years' experience.
The treatment of diseases by electricity lias undergone great changes within the
past few years , and electricity fsnow acknowledged by all schools of medicine as the
great remedy in all chronic , special aud nerve diseases , for nervous debility , par
alysis , rheumatism , diseases of women , etc. , and in many eye and ear diseases it
is the most valuable of all remedies.
In order to obtain its full virtues , it is absolutely necessary * to have the proper
apparatus. We have lately purchased three of the largest and most complete
batteries manufactured , so constructed as to give the most gentle as well as the
most powerful current. Persons treated at this Institute by electricity recognize
at once the difference Between our expensive aud complete electrical apparatus
nnd the common , cheap batteries , in iue by many physicians. Over 3,000 dollars
invested in electrical apparatus.
PRIVATE , SPECIAL , NERVOUS AND
BLOOD DISEASES.
We claim to bo the only reliable , responsible establishment in the west making
a specialty of this class of diseases. Dr. McMonamy was ono Jf the first thorough
ly educated physicians to make a special study of this class of diseases , and uia
methods and inventions have been adopted by specialists in Europe and America.
Ho is the inventor of the Clamp Compress Suspensory , acknowledged the best in
HBO. All others are copied after his invention. By menus of a simple operation ,
painless and safe , recently brought into use , we euro many cases that have been
given up as incurable by medical treatment. ( Head our book to men , sent free to any
DISEASES OF THE EYE AND EAR.
We have had wonderful success in this department in the
past year , and have made many Improvements in our facili
ties for treatment , operations , artificial eyes , etc.
Wo have greatly improved our facilities und methods of
treating cases by correspondence , und are having bettor
success in this department than over before.
Wo are fully up to the times in all the latest inventions in medical and surgical
operations , appliances and instruments. Our institution is open for investiga
tion to any poisons , patients or physicians. Wo invite all to correspond with or
visit us before taking treatment elsewhere , believing that u visit or consultation
will convince any Intelligent person that it is to their advantage to place them
selves under our caro.
