And wo'ro never ashamed ,
13nt wo'ro proud when wc'ro named

But call us who nro plain

That's the reason you full
And you can't inako n sale ,

overheard two drummers talking. Ono said
to the other : "I toll you , ttoy have bigger

that part of the country. Just think of 230
bushels of wheat tt 1)0 ) cents a bushel. Ob , I

The very thought of putting several other
organizations ahead of the traveling men
sn "Drummers' day , " as suggested by Chief
Marshal Clarkson , at their meeting Satur-
Iny nlcht , very much disgusted some of the
DO.VS. They discussed It yesterday , but he
folded so gracefully to their wishes that the
natter will have no contrary effects upon
Lho occasion. However , all who expressed
themselves seemed to think it very poor
taste for the marshal to undertake the formu'
tion of a procession on "Drummers' day"
by putting them in any ether than the very
front position. "Why , wo are the attrac'
tion , " said one , which inspired another to
ileclare that "Only for the traveling men
it would bb an inferior affair. " "Xnat's a
fact , " chimed in the third , and it bus been
advertised every where as "Drummers' day.1
President Looectt then chimed in with :
"Our banner is inscribed 'Always to the
front ; ' therefore It would not do for us tc
be made tall-ondors. For my part , we will
march next to the military or not march
at all. "
"Why , certainly , " exclaimed Marsha
Clarkson. "Wo want to accommodate the
traveling man. They can have anything
they ask for. I simply felt that ns thev unc
the trades display are so closely allied it :
interest , it would bo merely a matter of gooc
taste as well as style to have them at the
he.id of the feature , but they want to bt
next to the Omaha Guards , and there is tin
place I will put them. "

tlrst visit to a town In eastern Illinois. I hai
made a loug run ever the Illinois Contra

went , up grade and down grade , nrouni
corners to tha left and corners to the right
and in duo time 1 was landed at the Gram
Mogul.
The next morning I stood at tlio window o
the hotel watching a tralu pulling out of i
depot directly ucros * the street. The nam
on the cars aroused my suspicions. "Whu

iiois Central , air , " ho replied ; "that is th
train from Chicago. " Tuen I knew that
had paid cubby 50 cents for taking mo fror

Its plumelets of delicate hue ,

Above the bine.
On the day when I broke from my tether ,
And lied from square and from street ;
The day wo went walking together
In the meadow , Sweet.
The meadow , sweet with Its clover
And bright with its buttercups lay ;
The swaltows kept cddving over
All Hashing and gay ;
I remember a fnlr.vlikn feather
Sailed down your coining to greet ,
The day we went walking together
In the meadow , Sweet.
Ah ! thn meadow , Sweet I and the singing
Of birds in the boughs overhead !
And your soft little hand to mine clinglig ,
And the words that you said
When bold in , the beautiful weather
I lafd my love at your feut ,

Moilts of Southern Women.
Northern people have always had a.
good many queer notions about their
cousins down this way , and the queerest
of all is the notion .that the southern
women are not practical , says the Sunny
South. On the contrary , the women of
the south take to business as tin urally
as a duck docs to water. Tboy have not
the tendency to isms that the fair north
erners boabt of , lliumc the Lord. Their
way is to take things as they find them ,
and make the best of the situation.
"Without the least appearance of ullort
or sounding of tom-toms , thoygo quietly
about paying their way. and their fail
ures are "too few to talk about. It was
nothing uncommon in old times to bee a
woman riding about in tlio iieldsbossing
the negroes and the overseer. She usu
ally supplemented this care on her own
account with a general supervision of
the country side , and her masculine
neighbors were only too glad to consult
her on matters of common interest.
Many a debt-burdened estate has been
freed by the feminine turn for detail , a
faculty that too many planters lacked
before and since the war.

If you arc going east remember the
"Rock Island Route" run the sleepers

tion with all eastern limited trains con
necting in union depot at Chicago ,
avoiding a transfer across the city to

and ether eastern cities , "and every
thing a little better than ether lines

Ohicngo Tribune : It is given out con
fidentially that the brewers of Milwau
kee are dissatisfied with the business
they have done since last Sunday. It
is not up to their expectations. Some
of thorn must have imbibed the singu
lar idea that U soldiers' reunion is like
