Swung dizzily on the wave of gaudy per
sonal dispay and fanned to a druglike
sleep by the odors of sweet-scented, but
Inedible blossom', we, , the people, have
brought upon ourselves the curse of a
noticeable eotrt of living. After much beat
ing about the bush wherein lurked the se
questered secret, the secretary of the Na
tional Retail Dealers' a?.soctarion has dived
into the brambles of Irritating trurth and
has dragged forth, gasping, the mystery,
crying for help and exposing Its claws,
hoi n and other wage-stlfllng appurten
ances. This Mecretary, testifying before the
senate cumt-of-livlng committee al Wash
ington, flatly says (he is so quoted) that
flower gardens In the back yard and non
nutrltlous gram in the front (and perhaps
a canary in the kitchen) are largely re
sponsible for the prevailing high prices of
garden truck. I'ntil recent years, he noted,
It was customary for people to plant vege
tables In their yards. Year by year the
tendency has grown to substitute flowers
and lawns.
This drives the matter home, literally,
and lines It up t-nugly beside tin ultimate
consumer. If the pomt can be proved ex
clusively, 'ihere is no need for the .senate
committee to seek further. With the evil
of his deeds or lack thereof fasteired on
the wicked and hypocritical shoulders of
the consumer there Is nothing left to be In
vestigated. In his hypocrisy the consumer'
has presumed to snirf, literally and figura
tively, at the lesults of the meat packers'
labor. He has flitted from grocer to grocer
and fivm butcher to butcher, casting
aspersiojm upon a'.!. And all the time he has
been guilty, by refusing to raise cabbages,
parsley, com, beans and tomatoes in his
back yard.

A i tenuis Ward said that a comic paper

been quoted as embodying the gospel of
wit and humor. The great form of
American luiit.i Is the Juk. "It Is to

Misplaced laultais, awkward spelling, im
possible grammar. Infinite Incongruity of
Mtuation, endless word play, grotesquery
of action and character, heightened by
pictures equally funn.v. these are the
things that make us laugh. We are quick
to catch the oolnt of a cartoon, to enjoy
the exaggeration of a caricature. But to

On this occasion he fell In with good
crowd, coming home off trie mart for the
holidays and making the lust jump Into
New York. Most of them had swung
around the continent, hitting big towns,
sleeping twenty-nine out of thirty nishts
on the move.
"Say, 1 got such a cold I can havrtlv
talk," Fisher began, before he dropped
bis satchel; "but hear this from Buffalo.
Y'ou know the way the street fakers get
the gawks pilifrg around them down by
the I'nion station. One of '.hm had a
butrch of longshoremen from the lake
front standing shivering In a rero zephyr
last night, while he told them all about
Green's medicated cough drops. He said
It could wrestle a cold and get both shoul
ders to the mat in one throw, but his own
voice was worse than mine Is now. He
was Just whispering and tearing his throat
ell to pieces to reach the fringe of the
crowd.
"It was bis voice that got me. You know,
I used to do a little of that myself, and I
watched to see bis game. ,

" 'Makes no difference If you're so
hoarse you can't hear yourself whisper,"
be croaked, like a man with a harelip
trying to shout. 'Just slip on down easy,
and It'll clear your throat In ten seconds.
It's the greatest remedy ever discovered
for the cause of suffering'
" 'He couldn't get any further, and be
gan to cough as If he were going to lose a
lung.
" 'Say,' some one called out, 'w hy don't
you try it yourself?'
" 'Thanks, friend,' he croaked back;
'that's a good Idea.'
"Then, as the crowd stopped gaping and
hlvering, he took one of the cough drops,
looked relieved, and began to talk in bis
natural voice.
" 'Funny, but hre I am selling these
priceless cough drops at a quarter a bot
tle, and 1, haven't got enough sense to try
one myself.'
"They all bit. Anything goes on a crowd.
But I'm not the. fellow to laugh at them.
1 thought 1 had something smooth myself
once, but It turned out raw. There is a
Joke In what 1 Just said you may catch
it by and by. I went broke In Scranton,
and got on the tall end of a wagon with
a gross of Little Beauty safety razors.
"Tha streets were full of miners, and
all you had to do was to show them some
thing and they had their dollar ready
before they knew if they wanted It.
" 'Come on up!' I called out. 'I'll shave
any man in the crowd, and I'll give a dol
lar to every one I cut!'
"They came up, trusting as calves, and
before I got through with the first one
they were packed around so thick that the
driver didn't have to worry about his
horse. So he came back and wanted to
take a hand.
"He said he'd been In the army and
knew all about shaving. I tried to keep I
him off, but he'd put up the money for
the razors, and was feeling toplofty.
"Before he broke in I had shaved ten
slick and clean, and they were pushing in
closer, yammering to give up a dollar
per.
"I was figuring on what I could do with
the $100 I could almost see in my hand,
but I wanted to watt until some fellow In
sisted in buying right away and then it
would be a regular stampede. But all the
time there waa a little miner down In
front, trying to get me to ehave a chin
covered thick with steel wires.
"I knew the .Little Beauty couldn't stand
up against It, and every tlm he tiled to
catch ray eye I was bucy picking out fel
lows with easy whiskers.
"Finally, I had to move to the other end
of the tailpiece to get away from him with
out attracting notice, and while 1 was
giving a practical demonstration over there
he got hold of my driver and financial
backer, and first thing I knew they were
at it.
"It was all off right then. His whiskers
wouldn't cut and couldn't be nicked off.
They had to be pulled out by the roots,
and my partner did that all right. Every-
where he went on that doormat he left
Diooa.
"My demonstration wouldn't take at all.
They were all watching that bleeding face.
It was no use. I Just Jumped off the tail
piece and left the razors to the driver.
They were his, anyway, and It was his
fault.
"Walt till 1 get my drinking cup. I want
to wet my throat.
Meusurlng the Sheet.
"Hera's one," said Bob Lahm, who
specializes on suits and overcoats. ' What
is the matter with this one by the Ice
water? You're getting particular, having
your own drinking cup."
"Thought I was in Kansas, or wherever
it 1 where they have the law against
drinking cups. Take your own little cup
when you go out there. None furnished
anywhere, and no one will lend you Ids
unless you're a pretty girl,
cups handy. No use for them, as far as
their own thirst is concerned, but when
ever a pretty girl walks to the end of the
car they strain their ears to hear her say,
'Oh. dear, I forgot my cup..' Then, no
j they Jump, each w ith his little cup in
hand and trample, on eacli other in
I the aisle to get there first. You know how
it ia In day coaches bow the old travelers
always go for the lniddln of the car, where
the riding is easiest. Now you find them
all over the trucks near the water coolers.
"They've got another law somewheres
that sheets must be nine fuel lung. Some
cf the trains that pass through the statu
had to have new sets of linen for the
sleepers. The first night they outfitted the
Kitty Flier out cf St. Ixiuls, the porter in
my car was measuring to see if they
hadn't forgot an inch or two. He was
holding up a sheet by one end, with the
other end trailing for a couple of feet,
when all at once It began to rise until the

j and somn of the churches object to them.
There are whole sections where 1 can't sell
even a robin's wing. About the only
chance the women have to snow off their
clothes Is at church, and every time a
woman shows up with a fealher In her hat
the preacher berjlns to make remarks at
her.
"There are a few towns, however, right
in the middle of t lie religious section where
the women ivant the longest and fluffiest

I'd have to cut out the whole section.
"One day I was in a pretty lively town
In Kentucky, where half the women go reg
ularly to meeting with flowers In their
hats, nnd tho other half don't go at all and
wear feathers. While 1 was talking to a
customer in came one of the flower kind,
and a new clerk, not knowing the differ
ence, began to show her some of the latest
hats all fussed over the top with feathers.
"My customer saw the woman's sour
look, so she called the girl over and said;
" 'Show her something cheap and virtu

In Slopover Torrtia.
"1 showed my samples in a queer place
in a little Iowa town," broke in Kmll Hol
den, who handles textiles. "1 arrived late
In the afternoon, and the hotel was full of
traveling men. There wasn't a bod or a I
sample room to be had and the only place
to show my line was In the street. But
one of my customers came down to the
depot and I opened a trunk for him In the
baggage room.
"He asked for goods 1 had In another
and in five minutes I had my samples all
over the baggage room. I slipped the bag
gageman a couple of dollars and sent word
uptown that I could only keep my trunks
open an hour; so they all came down and
made the fellows in the hotel wait. After
I had finished I packed up and ate supper
in the next town."
"I can beat that," said George Harding,
who goes on the road for half a dozen
manufacturers of brass novelties. "I have
a customer in a Jerk-water town in Ken
tucky who isn't quite worth a stop-over,
because there Is only one train a day and
there are more Important towns on the
road.
"On this last trip I' wrote him to meet
me at the station and ride on to the next
town with me, but when we pulled in he
wasn't there. I had five minutes and 1
used it to sprint a block and a half to his
store. He said he was loaded up; but I
told, him that was no answer, and he prom
ised to be on hand two days later, on my
return trip.
"Coming back, one of the Pullmans was
empty. I tipped the porter a dollar, he
brought In a few trays of my best stuff
and I arranged it on the seats of the whole
car. My customer was there, made his
selections, bought a bunch o? stuff and
the whole deal was closed in five minutes."
No one could match that; but Mort Good
kind had a story of two Irish high-graders
from Goldfield who went down to San
Francisco in the same sleeper with him.
They had a section between them; and
when it came time to g to bed the fellow
who drew the upper merely slipped off his
shoes and rolled in. The one In the lower
eemed to be encountering difficulties.
Finally tho one up above called down:
" 'What's the matter, Mike? Don't you
like your bunk? Kvery time I fall asleep
you give a bump and I wake up.'
" 'It's this hamniick. I have tried three
times to git Into it, and every time 1 fall
out."
Afraid It Would Go Stale.
"Say what you like about the pie," sighed
Mort Goodklnd, "but I wished they" learned
how to make good Yankee pie at the lunch
counters along the western roads.
"There's a town In Colorado where tho
same pie stood ou the lower shelf while 1
made two trips. It looked so unwholesome
nobody could eat It, 1 wish I had seen the
fellow they tell auout In Nebraska who
, gave the lunch counter a new start in life.
"He came through on a train that was
