Sav course at th ward Street M. last evening. present, among them being a number of rep- resentative grocrymen, together with their clerks. Mr. Savidze took his text from Proverbs 11:1, “A false balance is abomina- tion tgthe Lord; but a just weight is His de- light,¥and from Exodus 20 “Thou shalt not steal.” Said the sperker: For the past five rs I have watched the business inter- ests of this city. 1 have been pleased to see the small frame building give place to the immense brick or stone structure, Standing as 1 do, a little outside of the business whirl, 1 have been well able to see the marked pro- gress in the different lines of trade. There is one class of business men of whom I have thought much—it is the gro and I will tell you wh, I thought when I was a little rew to be u man I would , 80 1 could have all the lico- rice I wanted. Didn't T make a narrow es- cape! Then I have become acquainted with some of your temptations and troubles, and on this account I have thought of you. You enter a field in which there is the sharpest competition. Your patience is tried to its limit Every day you must deal with a crowd of unreasonable if not dis- honest people. As I have seen you taking orders and delivering goods when the N braska blizzard was at its height, or as Thave seen you wading around at work in the Omaha mud, I have prayed for you that you might have an old-time case of genuine 're- ligion—"You need it in your business.” believe we shall see before we get through wll.hlln\« mon that everybody who gocs aving it Ho ougit 40 apply it. Religion is a worthless comodity unless it is applied. Religion loolks well on dress parade but it is of more value actually put into practice. It is not the silk dress for'the parlor—it i plain everyday wear. The religion of Jesus is the principle we so much need in trade to-da; 1 speak first of the sins of the cer, There are two clusses men in this line to-day in Omaha. The hon- est man—some of these have been here for twenty rs. (o into their establishments, Forty are doing up packages and deliv- ing goods. It requires fourteen horses to draw the delivery wagons. You would trust the heads of many of these firms with the last dollar you had, for they are honest men. But there is another sort of men in the busi- ness—men who have to be watched. Some of them profess religion, but the profession of religion will never make an honest grocer. I am told that one of these men shouted down to his clerk the other da; ‘Johu, have you sanded the sugar " ‘o8, saysJohn, “All right. Come up to pr While I go on in this sermon you can place yourself in the class to which you belong—the honest or the dishonest. 'That is the way we shall do at the judgment, und we might as well begin now. Some of you are dishonest. You have a way of fixing up your scales 80 that the machine works in your favor. The scale inspector said to one of your num- “If I find your scales again i the condition they are to-day I will trouble.” You may call this shar doctoring scales in that way, but I call it a dishonest act. Again, take this fact to demonstrate the same truth A wealthy man comes into your store. He trusts you. He sa, end me up so many pounds of this, and of this, and of this.” ~"You do so. He comes in every day during the month and gives you his order as to the amount, but does not ask you the price. At the end of the month when you make out that man’s bill you make him pay more for tea and sugav than you do his neighbor. You call it “sizing him up ac- cording to his pile.” A retired grocer who once kept a store here, said: “Brother Savidge, you can’t make anything in gre ies in this town, unless you work your pencil on them.” Now, I know that many an honest merchant in this city will suy that this is never done. Well, I reply that it has been done in our and done times. Talk e of dishon You advertis e example, to scil for a dollar and you tell your clerks to put up twelve pounds in those dollar-packages. You not only tell o lie but clerks acta lie all day long more than one within the past ¥ bought two car Cider from one of ihe apple growing cast of us. They then sold all this or out with the exception of five barrels. This done they divided the contents of the five, putting a little cider into each empty burrel und then filled the whole number u} with water. T'hen t wrote the firm of which they had purchased saying the cider little better than_water and to send their agent out to inspect it The agent came and paid them back their purchaso mon Again, some of you are profane, and I can tell you why some of you swear. People promise to pay and when the first days of the month come, the money does not come. I know one man in this city who makes the air fairly blue with smoke bed won't up, und the n them over again and when the time comes he Bwear 1 should think you would see the useless- ness of that bad habit us well as the sinful- ness of it. Again, a good many of you keep open on the Sabbath. Some of you say *This is my best day. You not only work yourself, but you compel 3 rks to work.” Ouly think of it! The work is hard enough and the hours long enough at best. In summer, on Satur instance, the clerk goes to the store at 5:30 in the morning and_works until 11 at night. What do you think of that greedy soul who asks him " to come back on Sabbath ¢ A member of the Catholic church in the grocery trade, and by the way, one of your most. prosperous men said to me, that when he first began here, he kept' open on Subbath but six months of Sabbath breaking ough for him. My advice is, set the sinner's pound away on your doors; you keep God's 1f you fail, fail an honest man and a sin » christ iun In the se . 1 speak of the “Sms of the custo! Many of the customers are not thoughtful and considerate of man and beast. HBusiness in this line is done larg: pass books. Do you know whose accounts are writ books, only has five book: 10 their store! - Forty-five caroless. familice are doing business’ with that one nouse. Take this point to prove my position. Tk grocers take orders and deliver good: South Omuha und us fur as the deaf and dumb institute. 1€ you would only take in your orders early, how miich you could save man and horse, [nstead of that, some of you g0 with your orders ut un hour when ‘the men should be at their homes. If some of these poor tired clerks were preaching to- night they could tell some facts that would prove this point. One grocer was asked the other day to take a customer two miles distaut from his store. The family consisted of two persons and he was expected to attend to their wants dail, This same man is asked to do all sorts of “favors for his cust . The other day he was asked to deliver a sew- ing machine. He sent two of his men to do the work. They broke the machine and the owner made the grocer pay for the privilege of doing him that fa: He told his men that they \\uuhl g0 out of the “sewing ma- chine business,” The clerks in one of our stores said to a certain woman: “Isn't she a perfect lady! BShe treats Ilw clerks as well as she does the propriet or." Let us carry home the small parcels and b every means wmake it more easy for over- worked men to live, 1f the christian people y with that one firm would, they conld one-half of his labor. Again, the customer tells a lie to his grocer. Instead of paying up as he prom- ised, large unpaid balances are against bim Some are “being carried” for $200. One merchant says: “In the past ten years I have lost $10,000 from these unpaid balances. They are the curse of the trade.” The gro- cor has to pay cash for all his produce, and in thirty days he must meet most of his other bills. He puys intercst but he does not get interest from you Agood many of us have been asking in this revival season how we may have the Holy Ghost with us in power. He will dwell with us when we do right. Again some of you steal from the grocer. Did you ever know that the merchant must display a certain_class of goods in order to sell them! And did you ever think of this, that the loss on this class of goods in_stock is two per cent just from “‘pickings?’ Let us quit this so colled respectable pilfering. en some of you steal in_another way. You owe the merchant for your living fo two months. Then you go to another ul:u or move to another state. the people who do this are v in their buying. The people live on the fat of the land. Stay by the man who accommodates you and pay himn every dollar. In conclusion, T am told that professed christians are no better than sinners in these things, But the stian is a reliable, Square man ever, Let us have ments, und then ligion will folloy e the grocer well nigh tim vival of the ten command. revival of Holy Ghost re- AN AFRICAN EXPLORE Herr Hauter Visits Omaha and Talks About the Zulus, A Zulu warrior at & museum was in an ecstatic state of happiness yesterda and Jabbered away in his native tongue with the garrulity of an old woman atatea party. The cause of all this demonstration was the presence of a German named Jacob Hauter, who speaks the Zulu tongue, quite fluently, Herr Hauter is the first man who could talk this dialect that either of the Zulus have met since they came to this coun ago. As'the Zulu' s partner, Charl i sick at Chicago at _present and could not ac- company Oscar on his Omaha trip, the latter African secmed delighted to_be able to give vent once more to his thoughts in his native gibberish. Herr Hauter spent several years in_Africa, understands a number of the different_dialects and has a thorough knowl- edge of the natives and considerable of their country. He was with Stanley's party short time, On being asked by the reporter if Oscar's color t rather light for a native African, b d that_in color the Zulu was s 1en of his people as they were a brown than a black race. In size, however, Oscar was rather below the wedium, although he had the strong knit frame und beautiful physical development of his tribe.

Gradually, as the day ad- vanced, the mercury in the thermometer be- gan to ascend, and by 10 a. m. it had passed the zero line on its upward march.

Come, good old Jim called, holding out his hand The foot-sore, half-starved dog moved slowly and_suspiciously, and as Mait- land patted the animal it whined and wagged its tail and pawed at the hand- kerchief around his neck. Taking it off, the boundary vider carefully un- rolled it, taking from its fold a piece of chip, on which was written with char- coal: Bob's Station—Send me help. Am dyine. StraNGE Bon, ‘“‘Well done; plucky dog,” said Jim, stroking the poor, tired-out hound as it lay stretched at his feet. **Come, drink, old boy!” motioning toward the river.

We must help the old man.” “I'll take both horses, but I'm .\h'uul I won’t be able to reach him in time,” Maitland replied. “Well, try it. But the old fool, he’s no business to live up there anyway. This is the third time. Trouble him and his old_sheep!

It was late in the afternoon of the next day that the rescuer arrived at the dying man’s shanty. Without delay he entered the half open door. On a pile of sheepskins in one corner of the room iay the miserable and emaciated form of “Strange Bob,” covered by a dirty and torn red blanket. Not a sign or movement of the body showed that the entrance of the stockdriver had heen recognized.

For several mimutes the stock-driver could hardly realize he was alone with the dead father of Nelly Gwyne and that ‘‘Strange Bob" waa the father of his be- trothed. The howling of the dogs, how- ever, awoke him te its stern reality, and writing a note telling of the death, he disputched it by Curse to Dooribang. The work of digging a grave under the shade of a large wattle-tree, and the making of a coftinf but of several boards torn from the walls of the shanty occu- pied him the remainder of the day. Before sunrise next morning the body had been buried on the place where “Strange Bob” had spent the last years of his life. Placing a wooden cross to mark the grave, Maitland mounted his horse and returned to Dooribang. AR A e e T n that me water, The papers found in closed ‘“‘Strange Bob' tory.

His wife died several months after the departure of her husband from Mel- bourne, leaving her baby daughter, Nelly Glyne. Shortly after hisarrival in Melbourne from Scotland, Jim Maitland succeeded in saving the life of ‘“Strange Bob's” daughter by rescuing her from a burn- ing building. From that time Mait- land and Nellie Glyne had continued to correspond, until it had ended—as usual in such cases—in their becoming en- goged. “Strange Bob” had, through his lawyers, become aware of the great debt he owed the young boundary- rider and now managed to pay it by be- queathing him one-half of lns immense fortune—some £200,000. Eight months after “‘Strange Bob's” death there appeared in the Melbourne papers, the following notice: MAITLAND-GLYNE—On the 9th inst., by tho Rev. J. Lorrie, dumes Maitland to Nelly Glyne, Mr. with his happy little bride, paid the mother country a visit. For several weeks his agent in Scotland caused considerable activity among painters, carpenters and furniture- dealers in repairmg and furnishing a pretty ‘‘wee cottage just outside o’ Edinboro.

His old father forgot about the ap- prentice money, and hopped about in great style, and extended a thorough Scotch llog.mnnv greeting to his son and his young bride. “Father,” said Jim Maitland, after they had got through exchanging greet- ings and compliments, *we have come all the way from Australin to pay that—" Never mind to-night, Jimmy, we'll talk over that to-morrow,” the old gen- tleman replied, a little annoyed at the subject being broached so abruptly. “But the cake, my man; and mother. ’s hae something with it, d, glad to change the conver- he tin box ' eventful Taitland, ssing the ke to his fathe: : placed on the top of it a pack of papers addressed to Mr. John Mait- land, with the remark: **Father, there’s a New Year gift from Nelly and one to mother from me.

The two old folks stood in tonishment, looking first at the gifts, then at their children, and then at each other, as if hardly able to believe what they read.
