nit : Hearten Drummi-rd.
I had boon engaged by thu house as
stock clerk only a few wpoka' , when ono
day the head of the firm came to mo and
safd : "Well , Mr. Blank , how would you
like to go out on the rosidV" "First-
rate , " said I. "I htxvo not hud any experience -
porionco , but I think I can got along ;
nny way , * I should like to try it. " So it
was agreed that I should vnnko my first
trip the next wcolc. Etow I looked for
ward to that day when I should pick up
my "grip" und launch out into tlio world
a full-Hedged traveling man. My head
quarters were nt St , Paul , and for that
town I put out juat us the sun % vas sink
ing ono bright day in the month of July.
A largo number of my nowly-joined
brothers were on board the trainlaugh
ing and jolting , as I afterward found
out , as only traveling men can. It was
just dark when the train stopped nt a
little depot Bomo eighty miles from the
pluco where I started. A number of
passengers go ton and olT. Among the in
comers vvns an old man carrying an old-
fashioned cnrpot-bag in ono hand and a
round parcel in the other. IIo seated
himself just opposite where I was sit
ting1 , and gazed uroundywith a
bowiluercd Took. It "was quite
evident tlmt ho was not , necus-
tomod to this mode of travel. Presently
the conductors voicog is hoard in "Tick
ets , please ; got your tickets ready. "
The old gentleman starts , a blank look
omos in his face , his trembling hand
is thrust first into 0110 pocket , then an
other. The carpetbag Is opened'and
searched thoroughly. The little round
package is opened , but reveals nothing
but a dry loaf of Vienna bread. Pock
ets are searched again , but to no avail ;
'ho hns lost his ticket. The condnctor
passes on , promising to come around
again. A traveling man stops up to the
now prostrate form , and , patting him
on the back , asks hia tory. The per
spiration stood on the old man's brow ,
his eyes were wet with tears , nnd amid
sobs ho told his story. IIo was a Dakota
farmer ; his parents had both died ono
week ago that day. Ho was tologrnnhod
to come , but could not raise
money enough to pay carfare -
faro a distance of about 1,200
miles , including return. A traveling
salesman who know him to bo a poor but
honest man had said to him , "Hero ,
take my mileage book ; go and bury
your father and mother , and when you
return give me back the book and pay
for what you use whenever you can. "
Thus it was that the old man was en
abled to see his father and mother
before they were laid away , This ,
which was u 2,000-milo book , was the
ono ho lost. IIo had sixty cents in his
pookpt , n loaf of dry Vioniiabrcad by his
nido , u wife und six children nt homo ,
000 miles away und no ticket. This was
the story whioh touched the heart of
the traveling man. "I'll subscribe
85 , boys , " said the newly made
"brother. ' 'So will I , " said another ,
nnd in flvo minutes $31
taken from the pockets of traveling
.salesmen , was handed to the old man
to p uy his faro und keep
what was 'over. Ho could not
.thank his " rescuers his heart
was too full : great tears rolltfd down.his
cheeks nnd his head was hung with the
thought Hint he was now dependent
upon charity. The conductor returned
for his faro , nmt humbly the poor old
man was tendering him the money
when his eyes fell on something on 'the
floor. It was the milbugo book. With
n yell ho bounded down on it. "Thank
God , T nm envoi ! from charity. Sir , ohl
elr , here is your money. I hnvo found
my ticket , " and the glistening eye
fihono like tiro. Ha could not bo pro-
vniloil upon to take the money , nor
could hu .pour blessings enough upon
the hands of his newly found friends.
The money was llnnlly huudud back
to the contributors , and the last wo saw
of the old gentleman from Dakota ho
wns sitting in the smoking our , happy
ns a king , whlling nwuy the hours with
n loaf of dry Vienna broad.

Alox. Turner traveled through the
western country for years in the In
terests of the Chicago Evening Journal.
Tumor was a model of propriety , nsfroo
from luvlty us were the columns of the
paper ho represented. Ho was ac
quainted with every traveling man on
the voad nnd they nil Hkod him , al
though none of thorn claimed intimate
acquaintance with him. IIo did not
drink , smoke , chew , swear or toll stories ,
und would have fallen in a spasm if
asked to take a quiet hand nt "draw. "
Ho used to take a 600-milo ride on
Saturday in order to spund Sunday in
Chicago with tils family and bo free
from the noisy Sunday festivities of his
follow travelers. Hotel clerks used to
lovp Alox. His first request nf tor regis
tering was invariably that ho bo given
B room nearest the roof , nn iniitio room
if possible , ( n order to bo away from the
noisoeof the street and the moro dronded
noises of his fellow tmvolora. IIo would
sit up in the olllco all night If the hotel
was crowed rather than share his room
with a commercial tourist.
IIo Isn't that way nny
morn. IIo was cured by heroic treat
ment that has turned his hair gray. lie
was in Sioux City txt the corn palace
last year. The hotels were crowded ,
and after sitting up u couple of , nights
Alex decided lie would risk it ono night
with a companion , lie was assigned tea
a room with John Long , an inveterate
joker who travels for TurnorJ Frazor
& Co. , of St. Joo. Long know of Alox's
peculiar aversion to strange bed fol
lows , nnd planned and executed a horri
ble joke. IIo waited until Tumor's
noncctul snore gave evldonco thnt ho
was making up for lost tlmo nnd then
put his plan in operation. IIo had a
friend , Dr. Hudgeus , who kopthis olllco
in , an adjoining block , nnd to him Long
unfolded his schema. In an hour's time
Long nnd the doctor wore In the hitter's
bed asleep , while Turner was uncon
sciously sharing his bed with a human
skeleton that had been taken from the
burgeon's collection. Long lot several
follow drummer's into the secret , but
they didn't laugh much when Turner
appeared at the hotel olllco next morn
ing. His hair was white as snow , and ho
scorned to have grown old in a night.
lie said nothing of his awful experience ,
nnd Long was not anxious to open the
subject. Tumor was in the city yester
day. Ho is us careful about his habits
as over , but always insists now on hav
ing a room in the noiscst part of the
house. It was too qulot for oven him In
that room in the Sioux City hotel.

"You'll ' exhibition of
see an nerve
here in a sliott time thai will astonish
you , " said Ed P. Henderson , who travels
for a big druggists' sundries house in
Philadelphia. "It will bo on the part
of the fashionable women in the city ,
and will be in response to the latest
society fad , which demands the banish-
incut of the once so popular tresses.
Titian red locks arc all the rage cast ,
and where I used to sell stacks of
nureallno nnd golden hair dyes ot
various kinds I now seldom have a
call for it. It will requires a
good deal of assurance for a
woman to appear in public
in Titian rod locks , which were of a
golden or llaxcn hue a few days ago ,
but if fashion demands it I guess most
of the women will bo equal to the oc
casion. The woman whonc hair is nat
urally raven nnd , who has been strut
ting abound for several years with
brunette eyes , eyelashes anil complex
ion and llaxcn locks , will welcome the
change , as it will bo to her advantage.
The burden falls upon the natural
blondes , who will have to require the
services of the hair artists to keep them
presentable. " *
Ho Had tllo Hands Pull.
G. W , Gail & Ax , of Baltimore , Md. ,
are heavy jobbers in tobacco and em
ploy a small army of traveling sales
men , none of whom are more jolly ,
good natured and popular than J. N.
Misli , who covers Nebraska and Kansas.
Mish , like all drummers , likes to toll
a good story and will not spoil the ef
fect of a tale simply because ho happens
to bo connected with it in the light of
chief character.
Mish was at the Barker Saturday ,
and after supper gathered a crowd
around him to listen to bio latest anec
dote. After spinning' a few delootnblo
yarns , to the great edification of his
audience , Mish bit oft the end of a good
cigar a.nd remarked :
"Gentlemen , I have a story on my
mind that I have carried locked up for
two years. It was a good ono on mo ,
and lor that reason I have kept very
quiet on the subject , because , as you all
know , I am very modest and don't want
to achieve any notoriety. "
"Wo understand , " said his audience
in chorus.
"But , " resumed Mr. Mish , "as the
story is u good ono , notwithstanding I
was ono of the principal characters , I
will relate it only on one condition. "
"Nivnio it , "shouted the audionco.
"That you all agree never to repeat
It to anyone , " was the reply.
"Wo agree1 , solemnly asserted the
group.
"Thon L proceed , " said Mish. "It
was two years ngo last August that I
was sent up in Michigan to work up
trade. I had elegant success , and the
first two weeks I was there I took moro
orders than 1 over had before in the
same length. of time , and I
may say that I don't think I
have duplicated that work since.
I mudo Lansing my headquarters ,
and on Sundays I used to spend my time
loafing around the hotel. It was the
third week that I had boon there and I
was up at Bath , a small town on a
branch of .the Michigan Central. There
was an old follow up there who kept a
general store' and did a tremendous
business , and I wanted to sell him nome
goods. I labored hard with him all day
Saturday , but ho was obdurate and I
couldn't got him. While I was coaxing
him I missed my train and was com
pelled to stop over night. Next morn
ing I was about to leave when who
should come along with a fine horse and
buggy , but my merchant.
" 'Hollo , ' said ho , 'aon't you want to
take n ridoV
"Thinks I , now I've got him , and I
had. Wo drove away out in the coun
try and before wo got back I had strung
him for a big bill. I bought my ticket
for Lansing that evening fooling happy.
Bat afterward , oh my ! I was about the
sickest man you over saw.
"There had boon n camp meeting or
something of that sort up the road , nnd
the cars were crowded. I managed to
get a sent , however , and plumped myself -
self down beside a young married
woman with a pretty pair of twin babies.
Generally I am not much stuck on kids ,
but tills pair caught mo. I traitod 'em
on my knee , said I wished they were
mine , and made that woman think I
was the grcatoBt man in the world.
South of Bath is n little town called
Chandler , where a branch loads oil to
College Farm , where my traveling com
panion and her babies lived. But I
didn't know that , and supposed she was
going right on to Lansing , nnd when
the train stopped at Chandler's told her
to sit still , that she wus on the right
car. But she didn't sit still , because
she wanted to go out nnd buy some milk
for the babies nt the lunch counter. I
said I would mind the youngbters , and
she left the car. While she was Inside"
they switched the train around and
started myself and the kids to Lansing ,
leaving her behind.
"suppose " that there was a circus at
that point when the fact was discovered ,
nnd 1 um curtain thee was a circus on
the train. When these kids missed
their mamma they grow uneasy Und fin-
nlly broke out in a series of yowls , Keep
em quiet ? You bet I couldn't , nnd not
a woman on the car would help me.
Everybody snickered at mo , the con
ductor grinned nnd the brakeman gave
mo the merry ha ha. I didn't know
what to do ,
"I began to think what they would
suy when I marched Into the hotel at
Lunsing with my kids , and" shuddered
as I Imagined the size of my bill , But
I didn't got to the hotel. When I
stopped oft the train two police
men arrested mo on the charge
of abduction. They came very
near locking mo up , nnd but for the
kindly office * oJ the proprietor of the
hotel I would have spent the night in
jail."Tho
"Tho woman came down next dny ,
nnd oh how she did go for mo. I had
to buy shoos and hats for the twins ,
and bribe nil the reporters in town to
keep it out ot the papers , because I
wouldn't juiTO had the gang got on for
anything.
"Bnlch , " said Mlsh , "bring out n few
cigars , wo want to smoke. "

dESSE JAMES1 GRAVE.
It tiles in the Ilonr-Vnnl of Ills Moth
er's Missouri dome.
A party of friends were visiting at
Excelsior Springs , in Ray countyMis
souri. The proposition was made
Wednesday last that they visit the
homo of Mrs. Samuels , the mother of
the dead Jesse James , known as the
bandit robber of Missouri , says a special
to the Chicago Times.
A pleasant drive of nine miles in a
northwesterly direction brought the
visitors to the homo. The residence
stands back from the road some dis
tance , nnd can not bo soon from it. Not
long ago the house was almost ontirply
hidden by dense timber. Approaching
the house ono sees a fair typo of the
old-fashioned country mansion. It is a
story and a half frame , with wide
porches. The surroundings are pleas
ant , and the aged widow has n goodly
farm of ICO acres , mostly under cultiva
tion. A curiously painted sign greets
ho eye as the door-yard is entered. It
reads : ' 'Strangers , 23 cents. " A fine
looking old ludy responded to the knock
for admittance. Her seventy yearn do
not seem to weign heavily. The hair
is silvered , yet the almost portly form
is erect , ana the eyes Hash wiih a cer
tain cunning expression.
' What is it ? " she demanded in a
rather ungracious tone.
"Wo have come to visit the homo of
Jesse James , to see his grave , if ho is
dead , nnd to talk with his mother. "
"If ho is dead ! " echoed the old wo
man. "Who says ho is not dead ? Liars !
I know that a report has boon printed
in the newspapers to the effect that my
poor boy Jesse , is not dead. I can prove
that the person who started that story
Is attempting to cover up some crime.
They say it was n man named Sam Hill ,
or some such a name , who was killed in
stead of Jesse. I heard the roporj was
printed in a Cincinnati newspaper. My
boy Jesse is dead. There is his grave
yonder. "
She led the way to the front yard. A
flue shaft of marble stood at the head of
a mound covered with myrtle and llow-
'
ors. Stooping down Mrs.'Samuels gath
ered boinu of the ( lowers and gave them
to the ladies of the party. On the mar
ble shaft the following inscription appeared
poarod ;
' ' *
J BSSB W. J A M'lSS ,
; Died April 3 , 1832. . ;
: A god ;
: 31 Years , 0 Mo. end IT Hays. ;
> . . . .
"My boy was burled hero. Ho was
murdered in cold blood In his own
homo. Why couldn't they lot him
alonoy IIo was harming no ono. "
Mrs. Samuels said this In n bitter
tone , She seemed not to fool kindly
toward her visitors , and spying a Grand
Army pin on the coU- ; < lapel of ono man ,
exclaimed : >
"Oh , you are a 'Eod ' are you ? If anyone
ono had told mo a few years ago that I
would talk to a Union soldier I would
have thought him crazy. Wo suffered
greatly from Yankee raids during the
war. They took most everything wo
had. "
Here Mrs. Snmuols crnspod the stump
of her loft arm. Tl ) hnnd nnd part of
the arm had been td'rrt ' off by a torpedo.
It is known that ofllcers surrounded hoF
house and throw torpedos Into it , kill
ing ono child hnd mangling the
mother's arm. The bid lady still talked
bitterly until ono of the visitors present
surprised her by claiming relationship
with her. Explanations followed to
that effect , and Mrs. Samuols softened
in tone very much.
"Well , I hnvo suffered greatly. Tweet
ot my children have boon murdered and
my homo hns boon in danger. I nm
poor , end can hardly got along. Now
they say that my boy Jesse 19 not dead.
Bull shall refute that lie in n public
statement. My son Frank will bo here
in a few days , nnd ho will go with mo. "
A htibtv survey of the house shows
thnt the occupant lives In comparative
comfort. The walls are adorned with
pictures of her husband. Frank nnd
,10830 Jnmos , and others of the family.
Ono or twoservants wore noticed around
the houso. Everything smacks of the
old style southern country homo before
the war , yet upon an avjrngo scale.
"Why did you bury your son so near
the house ? " was asked.
"Oh " her " would
, was reply , "thoy
steal his body if they could. "
The visitors departed , butono stopped
n moment to remark that they had
passed by the house before locating it.
Mrs. Samuols gave a queer little cough ,
saying : "Tho James boys had no busi
ness on a public rond. " Mrs. Samuels
hns lived n this old homo for forty-
three years. Her son Frank , who is
said to bo living the quiet life of nfarm-
or in Missouri , visits her occasionally-
Ilnw the MoJ lives
The Mojavc winter huts are made of
upright cottonwood logs , covered with
others , then with smaller branches and
earth , with but ono door and no windows
dews , writes Captain John G. Burke of
the Third cavalry. They seem warm
and sufficiently comfortable. The lloor
was of sand which served its purpose
when their menslydogs snapped at visi
tors , as the squaws promptly threw a
handful into the eyes of the miserable
brutes , who ran off howling for dear
life. The walls of these huts are of
wattle work , made of arrow weeds and
grass ; Jhoro are generally two center
*
posts. This is the winter residence ,
shared by the dogs and chiclcons. The
summer house is close nt hnnd and is a
simple rntnuda or a\yning of branches ,
of the form familiar to Mexican trav
elers. There is another ramnda , upon
top of which great caches of basket
work contain stores of mosquito beans ,
corn , beans , acorns , pumpkin seeds and
other dainties , together with all the in
dustrial implements and surplus pots ,
pans and kettles. Not far from the en
trance of each house was a mortar made
of the stump of a mosquito tree , the
pestle for which was a huge all'air of
lava , eighteen inches long. Ranged
along the wall , in suitable places , was
the surplus wardrobe of the family , the
most interesting portion of which , to
the American eye at least , was the
.apron'and bustle of the fine inner bark
of the cottonwood , which forms almost
the complete raiment of tlio women , old
and young nliko. The squaws were
parching corn and then serving it up
in that simple style , or as a mush ; some
were making mush of acorns , of mos
quito , of grass seeds , or of pumpkin
seeds , but it was always mush. The
food of the tribes along the Rio Colorado
rado is almost the same as it was when
Alarcon first wont among them in
1511.
1511.Thero
There were coarse dishes , jugs , ollas
and bowls , painted nnd unpainted , in
shape und decoration very much like
these of the Pueblos , but not so good.
The women and children , in nearly
every case , had thqir heads plastered
with mud and mosquito pitch , for
warmth , they said ; but more likely to
restore the rich blue-black color , faded
by _ exposure to the sun , or to kill ver
min. Wp were shown some half-lin-
ished rabbit skin mantles of the sumo
pattern as these to bo found in the
Moqui villages. This little animal , the
jackass rabbit , has been to the inhabi
tants of the interior of our continent of
almost as much consequence as the
buffalo was to these living in the plains
of the Missouri. From it have been
taken 'food und clothing of the warmest
kind. There were fishing hooks and
lines with which the Mojuvos catch tlio
great , tasteless Colorado salmon , and
several shinnysticks.just bent and hard
ened in the lire. The Mojaves make
two or three kinds of baskets ; the first
resemble the beautiful ones fabricated
by the Apaches which hold water ; the
others are fiat and much like those in
which the Utos and Shobhones parch
their grasshoppers.
In ono hut a young girl was employed
upon n lovely bead necklace , using ns a
support a boor bottle , stcuuied by filling
it with sand. Twotor three paces from
her an old woman had jiibt finished
painting a largo olla , which she then
proceeded to burn in a fire made in a
hole in the ground. Upon none o'f the
pottery was there to bo discerned any
thing in the shape of a totcmic em
