THE RNICATS OF THE CRIP. Blusher's Dog Outdonnhy JimCrow's Canine Beast. DRUMMER BOYS ON THE TRAINS, A Correspondent Who Has a Soft Spot in His Heart for His Fellow- men—A Salesman Talks of Politics. Jim Crow's Dog. HAsTINGS, D Sept. 1 of Tue 13 Some time e appeared in “our" column of Tite Bk, writes one of the boys, an article descriptive of Slusher's dog, claiming it to be the ugliest doz on the foce of the earth. This is a mistake, as 1 will prove, September 6, a week ago last Monday, T arrived here and put up at the Commercial hotel, and while picking my teath I was approached by my old time friend, Jim Crow, who is representing the McCormick Harvesting Machine company in this district. After the usual greeting 1 no- ticed for the first time that some great sor- row was burdening the mind of my friend. At last he abruptly exclaimed: Do you re- member my dog!’ I then alled the fact that last winter he had presented to him, by ounc of his friends, a thing termed by th donor “a dog.” I said “Yes, I now remember it.” Then with his head bowed down with grief, and a voice choked by a big gob of emotion, he su “Follow me.” 1 followed, v\umh'rlluv why it was that pegple should pour into my ear the story of their troubles, and what tale of woe ‘wiss now to be unfolded to me. As the sequel showed, it was a woe without any tail to speak of, After following Crow through the office he stopped in front of a door, and ns a shudder of remorse or despair, or both, shook his tierculean frame he dove into his pocket and produced a koy, inserted it into tho lock, opened the door, aad as we entered he closed the door and locked it. He then, with averted fac pointed to an object about as big as a dollur, dollar and a f or two dollars, lying under the table. As the light in the room was rather dim, T bent over the object in order to see it, whe n, horrors! Igave a shrick that aroused the entire house, and then fainted. The next thing I remember was feeling a pair of strong arms around me, and and great drops of hot tears falling in torrents upon my face and chasing each other down iy nock and saturating my now three dollar flan- nel shirt. After I regained cousciousnoss Jim related the l‘nllowmv story : I'wo years my hair began falling ont, and my friends advised me to use a hair tonic or restorer.

She may have been young and handsome, or old and decrepit, but each article wound up with somo great act of courage or generosity of the traveling man. Your writer does not wish to convey the idea that all that has been said is not true, but notwithstanding, ho has frequently noticed one item that has escaped comment by the papers, and that ftem is the hoggishness of traveling men in railway coaches. Until recently I was not aware of how far thoy would carey out their belief that the train is all for them.

My customers wanted my opinion about the outcome of the strug- gle between the two great parties, and I had to be ver careful about what I had to say on the subject. The democratic merchants would expatiate for hours on the ties of tariff revision, and those of republican leanings wanted nothing but talk Business with some of them sccondary matter, politics rmost subject engrossing their attention.
