A Drummer's Elopement. “Yes, he's a handsome fellow, and one of the most popular on the road,” said a com- meroial man to THE Bek reporter, referring 1o a well known representative of an Omaha grocery house, “You have scon his wife I suppose, Haven't!

Now this plucky young lady was aware that in order to gotaway from the housa it would be necessary for lier to pass through the great bare floored dining room off which was the old follks room. And the ol man would waken at the sound of a falling pin.

And, besides, at th first stop the old gentlo- man woull be after her, and then their chances would be settled forever. What ©ould she do? ‘the old clock was stoadily tick-ticking away.

Indianapolis News: The drummer, or to give him his more dignified title, %the com- mercial travelor,” is a type of the spirit and progress of the age. He is not exclusively an American product, for they have com- mercial travelers in all commercial countries and everywhere they represent the life blood of commerce. They are essentidlly a growth and product of modern times and trade. A generation or two 8go they were hardly known in this country, Tu those days tho buyers had to seck the sellers; now the y representative, the drummer, and generally finds him. No cossible the place or what the dificulties of travel, the drummer does not hesitate to start for it, and he invariably gets there. If every purchaser in the United States wero a fugitive from justice and every drummer a trained detoctice, the one could not pursue the other with more persistence and_success. As commerce 18 one of the greatest promotors of clvilization and the rummer one of the greatest promoters of commerce. it follows that the drummer is an invaluable adjunct of the best society—for is not that the best society which is the best organized, the best governed ana the most clvilized!’ The drummer in his normal con- dition is himself an organizer, a governor, and a civilizer. He is also, or ought to be, a natural orator, a master of the art of pleps- ing, a genial companion, u good deal of & pél- itician, something of a statesman, a bit o elocutionist, a good salesman, a walking cyclopedia of ‘markets, an authority ou the tarift, capable of umpiring anything from a yacht race to a game of marbles, an expert in- art, music, cookery, etiquette, and an all- Found general utility man.

Strange scenes are occasionally en- acted at the exchange. Less than twelve months ago a large house on Mulberry street was sold at auction to the man who bid more than $24,000 for it. He was a dingy, dwarfish specin.en of Ttalian immigration who began his mercantile course as the proprietor of a heanut stand in the classic region of Park street. How his treasures were amassed is best known to himself, but that they had been raked together was apparent to the officials and to the un- washed swarm of polylingual fellow citizens, who u]ikflmldcd wildly as ho coolly drew out a dirty pocket handker- chief and began 1o count out from it the purchase money, which he supposed must be paid on the spot.

A little boy, the son of an in- | habitant of that part of the city, was | playing in one of’ the rooms of his ; father’s flat with the monkey, which is a most intelligent and domesticated moember of its species. The boy, in a fit of juvenile caprice, tied the cord of a window blind ‘around his negk and pretended to. hang himself, to lgle immenge amusement of his simian playmité, which grinned and chattered on a chair. Suddenly the . boy became™ livid and began to cry, for the cord had got into a real noose around his neck. In a very short gpace of time the monkey took in the situation and tried to nndo the noose with its paws, but had to give up the at- tempt. Itthen hopped away to another room, where the boy’s grandmother was sitting, and began to pull at her gown, to chatter, grimmace, and look wistfully toward the door. At first, thinking the animal wanted to bite her, the old lady was frightened, 'hut seoing that it was endeavoring. with mite and main, to drag her toward the door, she arose from her seat and went, piloted by the monkey, to the room where her grandson was moaning. The boy was instantly extricated from his perilous position, though it was some time before he recovered from his pain and fright. FETE SN Advice to Mothers.

Philadelphia Ledger: ‘‘Postofficerob- beries are generally a great deal like slight-of-hand tricks,”’ said an official of the New York postoffice to a reporter the other day, ‘‘They seem mysterious and incomprehensible until thé manner in which they are done is brought to light, and then they seem simple enough, and we are ashamed that we were not able sooner to get at the bot- tom of 50 plain a case. But the sim- plicity of the methods used is the rea- son that makes it so hard to discover the robber. It is often the case in post- office robberies, as in many others, that ‘opportunity makes the thief.” A clerk or messenger may handle a_certain pouch for a number of years and at last, perhaps by accident, notice how a valu- able package may be taken and no trace left behin!fi It f\e happens to be a lit- tle weak-minded and the temptation proves too great' he commits what may be his first. crime. So the difficulty in detecting mail robbers is that each one is different from all the others, and the detectives are obliged to learn a new lesson in each case. Of course, this does not apply to cases where a dishon- est clerk systematically steals small amounts from letters. Clerks who do that are not only dishonest, but foolish, for such thefts are ‘ensily detected.” % S S S i N BIGGER AND BIGGER. Few people have any idea of the magnitude of the business we are doing.
