Some Pulpit Comment.
"Lot us go Into the next town. "
"Wo are glad to welcome our travel
ing friends , whoso untiring energy ,
whoso sagacity and whoso dauntlessness
is doing so much for our stato. Wo
wish yuu would como with us to our
homes , too , and pnrtako of our hospital
ity. " So spoke Rov. Ilowird Dulllold
at Westminister church , Detroit , Mich. ,
last Sunday in his annual sermon to
traveling men.
The great bulk of the business mon
of our day sot before thorn n high ideal.
They propose to make life yield a
larger revenue. They rauko the best of
everything. Wo have no aristocracy
in this country unless It bo the tramp.
If there is anything that stirs indignn-
ton it is to see a nervolcsi man helped
on. On the other hand , lot us extend a
friendly arm to these who are earnest
nnd who never falter. The thing that
Is needed first of all for a business Hfo
is concentration to a high purpose.
In religion , sometimes , as in business ,
there is nn adulteration of faith. There
are some mon who think Umtu devotion
to the Sabbath allows them to give
themselves to Irrollgion on every other
day. The world is accustomed to point
the finger of scorn at Christian bus
iness men , especially those who
practice hypocrisy in their bus
iness. The meanest business sharks
on earth are the hypocrites. They
draw Into their nets the poor. They
squeeze until the heart aches. They
have lost the old Idea that employes
are souls , but they call their employes
"hands" or "onoratlvos. " Sucn mon
suppose that by renting a pew in church
they have a right to rent out their
property for all purposes under heaven.
Christ is a light In the right business
track. Above all else ho insists on hon
esty. These who follow him must "go
into the next town. " work it in the best
way and dispose of their poods in n
wide-awake manner. To a true Chris
tian human nature is an open book.
The church should adapt itself to the
world. Do not lot us turn the "ice end"
of the log to the world.
It needs a man of nerve to keep him
self from the world. A high aim ,
nerve and tact will carry a man safely
everywhere.
The tlmo will come , too , when wo
will take our last trin. Wo will bo at
homo after that. Wo will "go over in
the next town. " Live a quiet , honest
life. L'.vo not for what you can got out
of the world , but for what you can put
into the world.

The Omaha Traveling Men's club
held a mooting at the Hotel Casey Saturday - '
urday evening with President Lobock
in the chair.
Mr. Lobeck stated that the commit
tee appointed to procure rooms for the
use of thu club thought that the most
suitable found were two largo ones on
the third Jloor of Tin : BUK building ,
which could bo had for $1,100 , and five
on the fifth lloor of the board of trade
bidding for $780 n year.
Mr. Arnold of the same committee re
ported to about the same effect , tnough
rather favored these in the board of
trade building on account of there be
ing moro of them and nt a low figure.
Secretary Ryerson sprung a very im
portant point. Ho asked President Lo
bock of the board of directors if ho
know atout the elevator service in the
board of trade building during the
evening. Mr. Lobock answered thatho
didn't. ' Mr. Easaon , who is a member
of the board of trade , announced with
great emphasis that there was no night
elevator service in the board of trade
building. This announcement brought
out a chorus of good natured but very
emphatic growls to the effect that that
bottled the matter of considering the
board of trudo building any further as
a place for club rooms.
The report was accepted , but the
matter of deciding as to rooms finally
referred to the board of directors , it
1)oing the general opinion that oven
thov should not decide thu matter until
it had boon ascertained how much
money could be gotten Into the treas
ury as a stnrtur to pay rent with , and
ns nn indicator ns to how much the club
is prepared to pay a year for quarters.
Tile question of duos was the next to
bo considered. Opinions varied. Sev
eral suggested $10 a year , one thought
$12 nocossnry and many wore between
or loss ihnn these figures.
ft was finally decided that thu annual
duos of resident members shall not ex
ceed $ li2and non-residents I'G.
'The secretary ns Instructed to re
quest all members to remit their mom-
tnsrshlp fee of $ o and first quarterly
duos immediately.
The meeting then adjourned to the
iirst Saturday evening in April.

BU1TAT.O GAI1 , S. D. , March 7. To
the. Editor of Tnu Bui : : In your issue

iMod was punched coins , his pockets
were his hotel nnd restaurant. They
being lilted with sausages and crackers ,
ho could not find room for his gloves
until he had supper in my place from
his pocket larder. IIo says the weather
was extremely cold and ho had to invest
li" > cents in a pair of gloves. Ho forgot
the gloves a block away and used the
nubile telephone to have a lackey bring
them to his highness telephone charges
Wl cunts. This is where his roar canio
in , and what he squeals so loudly about
in the public progs. AH to his kindly
ronuirkaabout my way of doing business ,
1 will botTSlOO ncnlnst 1 cent that my
business standing and general reputa
tion is better than his or that of the
house lie pretends to represent. In re
gard to this transaction I did collect
that 60 cents , and as manager of this
public telephone my charges are fixed
uml are CO cents for the use of the tele
phone by non-subscribers , bo it for ono
block or 100 miles. JOK HUSH.

Dyspepsia's victims are numbered by
thousands , ho are these who have been
restored to health by Hood's Sarsapa-
rilla.
The American Druggist tolls of a
horse that wears spectacles. The farm
er that owned him came to the conclu
sion , from various Symptoms , that the
animal was short-sigh'iod , got an oculist
to take the necessary measurements
mid had a pair of Hjjoctaclos manufac
tured for him. They are made to fasten
firmly into the henllsiaU , so that they
do not shako out of "place. At first the
horao appeared startled by this addition
to his harness , but ho" soon go * , used to
his glasses and liked them. "In fact , "
says his owpor , "when I turn him out
to pasture ho fools 'uti6nsy and uncom
fortable without his goggles , and last
Sunday ho hung around the barn and
whinnied so plaintively that I put the
hadstall and goggles on him , and ho
was so glad that hoa'ubbnd my shoulder
with his nose. Then ho kicked up his
heels and danced down to the pasture. "
Ho could see what ho was going to oat
then.

From the Lewis ( Iowa ) Independent :
"Wo have advertised a proat many dif
ferent patent medicines , but have never
taken the pains to editorially 'puff' ono.
Wo are going to do so now for the first
time. Chamberlain ft Co. , Dos Moines ,
la. , manufacture a cough remedy which
is absolutely the best thing wo have
over soon. Wo have used It In our
family for the past year , arid consider it
iiullspoiisiblo. Its effects are almost
instantaneous , and there Is no use talk
ing , it is a dead shot on a cough or cold.
Wo don't say this for pay , but because
wo consider Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy the best made , and wo want
the people to know it and use it. "

Every ono knows the story of the
Frenchman who , while sitting with his
face close to the open window of an Eng
lish railway car , hoard n sudden shout
of "Look out ! " and popping out his
head accordingly , received n tre
mendous bump on the forehead from
the projecting polo of n scaffolding
which the train wns just passing ; where
upon monsieur exclaimed indignantly :
"Ingllsmnn big fool ! IIo say 'look outl'
when ho moan 'look ! "
A similar misc.oncoption occurred
durinng the slogo of Scbastapol , when
an English guardsman was "brought
up" for having given a severe thrash
ing to a French grenadier , the English
man's only explanation being that "ho
would 'avb it , and so I just 'ad to give it
to him. " It appeared on inquiry that
the guardsman had accosted the other
In what ho supposed to bo French , and
that the puzzled Frenchman had ex
claimed in bewilderment , "Comment ? "
( How ? ) which John Bull mistook for
"Como on. " "Como on yourself , then , " ho
roared , "If you will 'avo it ! " and forth
with the fisticuffs began in earnest.
But more startling than nil this was
the mistake made by a queen of Denmark -
mark during her visit to the Danish
colony of Iceland , where the good old
bishop exerted himself to the utmost to
show her everything that wns worth
seeing , writes David Kor in Harper's
Magazino. The queen paid many com
pliments to her host , and having *
learned that ho was a family man ,
graciously inquired how many children
Jio had.
Now , it happened that the Danish
word for "children" wns almost iden
tical in sound with the Icelandic word
for "sheep ; " so the worthy bishop
whoso knowledge of Danish was not so
complete as it might have boon un
derstood her majesty to ask how many
sheep ho owned , and promptly an
swered , "Two hundred. "
"Two hundred children ! " cried the
queen , astounded. "How can you pos
sibly maintain such a number' : " *
"Easily enough , please your majesty , "
replied the hyperborean prelate , with a
cheerful smile. "In the summer I turn
them out upon the hills to graze , and
when winter comes I kill and oat them ! "
Houston was beaten for the senate by
Louis Wigfall , who cut such a brilliant
and yet inelfioient figure at the out
break of the war. Old Sam Houston
was asked what kind of a person this
Air. Wigfall wns who had succeeded to
his place. Houston said : "Gentlemen ,
I know him well ; ho is the most elo
quent , brilliant d n fool in all Texas. "
When Houston had been beatou by
Wigfall it occurred to Ivorson o f
Georgia , who was not much of a man ,
to got up in the senate and lacerate the
old hero. lie called attention to the
fact that Houston had been lopudiated
by the people of his state , and said ho
hoped that would bo the fate of all men
who wore traitors to the south.
The senate thought nothing of Ivor-
son , and everybody wns curious to know
what Houston would say. The old man
sat there whittling a piece of wood with
a knife. Ho was 0 feet 6 inches high ,
held himself very erect , was a remark
able actor , and always impressive when
ho desired to bo. Hardly anybody
looked at Ivorson , for his speech was
felt to be in the lijrht of an attack upon
human nature , says the Cincinnati En
quirer. Sam Houston , the hero of
Texas , the former governor of Tennessee -
see , was down , and this little follow
misapprehended the real feelings of
men , and thought ho had a chance to
injure him.
After Ivorson concluded , Houston sat
still a while till ho , concentrated upon
himself the attention of. the senate. Ho
then rose , ana , in a commonplace way ,
referred to his defeat. "It is true , gen
tleman , that I am politically dead.
There appears to bo no breath in my
life , so far as public service is con
cerned , hereafter. The condemnation
of mo at the polls has been condign. I
did not think , however , that after my
defeat thu state of Georgia would bo the
ono to come and taunt me with my dis
aster. "
Hero ho changed his madnor from
the simple to the impressive , and there
began to be sensibilities stirred up in
every ono around the senate as ho con
tinued : "Not the state of Georgia
should have thought it necessary to at
tack mo upon this lloor , " said Houston ,
for when I was a boy I shed my blood in
Georgia for the people in that state
when the tomahawk and sculping knife
were raised against them. At such a
battle [ which ho named ] I was loft
among the slain , as it was supposed ,
and I always thought that Georgia at
least would have stmo respect for my
memory. Out , gentlemen , this is not
the first time that a Goad lion has been
kicked in the face by a cowardly ass. "
Colonel Robert G. Incorsol was talk
ing with his old friend , Colonel A. C.
Babcock , at the Grand Pacific yester
day afternoon , says the Chicago Inter-
Ocean.
"I sec that the hoarseness that
bothered you so many months has en
tirely disappeared , said Colonel Bab-
cock. "You look younger and merrier
today , Colonel Ingorsoll , than you did
the day you loft Peorla seven years
ago. I remember when you were so
hoarsn thu ministers said it was a visita
tion of God. I wonder what they would
say If thov could see you now I won
der If they would call your probont
health and happiness a visitation of
God. "
"Oh , I suppose they would , " and Col.
Ingorboll lauirhod ; "they blame him for
everything , from the downfall of Rome
to the scourge of grasshoppers in Kan
sas. I suppose they count mo among
the afflictions. By the way , colonel ,
did I over tell you about the letter a
Presbyterian clergyman woto to mo
when 1 was reported to bo suffering
from cancer ? You know there never
was any foundation for that story , but
it wont the rounds of the papers , and I
suppose it did the prcnchors a heap of
good. I got a lot of lottery , and one of
them was from this Presbyterian. Ho
said that while I was waiting for death
to come and end the suffering it would
bo well lor mo to remember that God
had sent that cancer to punish mo for
my blasphemy. In a few days I ans
wered , I told the minister that per
haps lie was right about the cancer. At
any rate if God had sent the cancer I
would not blame God , for if I were over
in uod's place I probably would kill any
man I couldn't answer. A few weeks
after that the Presbyterian sent me
another letter , and took everything
back.
"But 1 don't wonder tlmt the believ
ers in visitations are a llttlo puzzled , "
continued Colonel Tnporsoll. "I am
nuzzled myself. My health Is remarka
bly good , and I 'col just ns young and
strong ns when I was in my toons. ' '
Colonel Robert G. Ingorsoll would
never bo suspected of being a rospootor
of persona , for ho ha such a frco and
easy way of discoursing upon religious
matters , says the Now 'i ork Herald.
Ilia legal portogo wns Judge Putor-
baugh , then a judge of the circuit court
at Poorln , 111. Upon ono occasion\vhtlo
the judge was engaged in fining a spectator
tater for contempt of court , lugcrsoll of
fered some gratuitous advice , which
was resented with some show of Indig
nation. Ingersoll retaliated by hint
ing that when the court was fishing in
a political way after the crime ho
had not boon so chary about accepting
ndvlco. Thla warmed the old man up
in earnest ; and ho at once imposed upon
the presumptuous ndvocato a line of $10
and costs. Ingorsoll fumbled in his
pocket for a moment , then wuliiud up to
the bar with outstretched hand and
said ; "Putorbaugh , lend mo $10 ! " The
stern expression of the court never re
laxed for nn Instant. Turning to the
clerk ho s.ild : "Mr. Clerk , lot the re
cord show that Mr. Ingersoll's fine is
remitted. Poorin county can bettor
afford to lose 810 than I can. "
The London tavern which Peter the
Great most favored was a public house
in Great Tower street , Tower Hill ,
where ho took his river companions in
an evening to smoke and drink , says the
Now York Herald's London edition.
The landlord thus honored called his
house after Peter , and had "Tho Czar
of ' Head" and
Muscovy's painted put up
for a sign. In the year 1808 a curio col
lector bought the sign and supplied the
publican with a now ono. This and the
old house have now disappeared. Anew
now hotel , however , stands on the old
site and is known by the old namo. The
brief histories of the time contain many
notable anecdotes of Peter. Ho cannot
have suffered much from the legal pro
fession , and yet his dlsllko to lawyers as
a class seems to have boon as keen as
that of any disappointed litigant of
these latter days of too much law and
too llttlo justice. Taken to see West
minster hall , the czar asked what the
busy gentlemen in wigs and gowns were
about. "Lawyers ! " ho exclaimed in re
sponse to the information of his guide ,
"why , I have but two in my whole do
minions , and I believe I shall hang ono
of them the moment I got home. "
During the war Major Wham was a
lieutenant in General Grant's regiment ,
the Twenty-first Illinois , and was ns
fortunate bodily then as ho has boon
since , says the Washington Star :
"Wo were In for thirty days at first ,
and had a colonel who were two pistols
in his belt and made speeches on dress
parade , " ho said to a circle of friends
at the Ebbltt last night. "We refused
to ro-oulist unless wo could have a now
colonel , and the case was presented.to
Governor Dick Yates , while the
regiment was camped at Spring
field. It was then that Colonel
U. S. Grant was assigned to our regi
ment , and the governor ruggostod that
the boys be enthused with somu
speeches by Logan and ono or two
others. The programme wns ci.nrlod
out , and the boys , who had boon worked
up to a throo-ohoors-and-n-tlgcr state
of mind , and wore accustomed to
speeches from their old colonel , called
for 'Grant ' 'Grant ' 'Colonel
, , Grant,1
with the accent od both words. There
was a tlight hesitation , and then Colonel
nol Grant , who had boon sitting down ,
arose and made an effective speech
without exhausting the English lan
guage. It could hardly bo divided into
the throe parts required by rhotorl *
clans , for it consisted of but four words ,
towlt :
' ' 'Go to your quarters. '
"I told the story once at n reunion
when Grant was present , and the vote *
ran a took it with n storm of applause ,
but the old commander nuvor smiled.
It was ono of those Incidents of neces
sary army discipline which he thought
ought never to be nlludod to at re
unions , and I have never told it since. "
"What did you think of your colonel
In these days ? " was asked.
"A man that couldn't see that Grant
had the elements of greatness In him
was shont himself , " wns the reply.
"Wo nil said then ho was bound to
climb the ladder , and the world hna
soon our prophecy fulfilled. "
Governor Beaver Is known by every
Plttsburg boy In the Fatlonal ( .Uinrd to
bo a strict disciplinarian in military ot-
inuotto and the drill , says the Dispatch
of that city. Austin Curtln , of the gov
ernor's native town , told this war rem
iniscence last night to some of the dele
gates to the Grand Army of the Repub
lic encampment : While lieutenant col
onel of the Forty-fifth regiment Beaver
wns ono day sitting In front of the tout
when n slouchy-looklng soldier with Ill-
fitting Uniform came along , stopped ,
and Inquired :
"Voro Ish dor doctor ? "
"Is that the \vay to address your su
perior officer , sir ? " roared Colonel
Beaver.
The Gorman stared nt the superior
officer in blank amazement , but said
never a word.
"Hero , sir ; take this chnlr. You bo
the colonel , and I will teach you hnw to
address an officer. "
"Vas mo dor boss of dor regiment ? "
"Yes ; take this chair , and i will show
you how to act. "
The soldier sat down in front of the
tent. Colonel Beaver walked off a few
paces , turned about , returned to a posi
tion in front of the odlocr pro teniporo ,
squared himself around , made a mili
tary salute and inquired :
"Colonol , can you imform mo where
I can find the surgeon of the regiment ? "
The soldier arose , and looking _ seri
ously and straight nt Beaver , replied ;
"D d if I know where ho is ! "
