Oukes was a confirmed bachelor, and beycnd the reach of the fascinations of che gentler sex, but great surprises are in store for all, and one of them is the marriage of this celebrity to Miss Mary Curver, one of Zearing, Towa's, most charming and talented daughters. The ceremony took place at the bride’s home, on May 1, and the happy couple passed through this city, on last Friday, on their way to Grand Island, their future home. Mr. Oakes isone of the ldest (raveling men in the country, having carried the ip and sample ca ¢ in the western territory for twelve fcurs. He has been with the Baum ron company, of this city, since their establishment. His many friends and associates will unite in wishing him and his bride a bright and happy future. * Old &im Enjtaikes a Team. Bob Vinton, the landlord of the Vin- ton house, at Cambridge City, Ind., was noted, many years ago, for his par- tlality to drummers, for his love of a practical joke, for his good humor, and for his tidy, well-kepnt little tavern. I had stopped with him for two days and comnleted my business, when I asked hi.. . “Bob, how much will you charge me for a team to take my trunks to Milton? (A town near by, but off from the railroad.) “Ten doliars,” said Bob. 1 agreed, used his team, and on return tendered him 810, ““What's this for?” asked Bob. *‘For the use of your team to Milton,” replied. t “Not much!” returned Bob, “I told ou it was 810 to get there, but its $10 0 come back. So shell out another X, old fellow.” I demurred, but there was no wa; out of it; 50 I paid the extra $10, and laughed with Bob at the cute joke played on me. Six weeks after I stopped with Bob again, and again engaged his team for 810 to take my trunks to Milton. After I had left the little town I wrote Bob from Indianapoli “Dear Vinton: I engagod your team for $10 to take me to Milton, but as there was nothing said about returning the same, I have hud them put up at Lyford’s hivery, where you can obtain them by paying charges. Inclosed find $10.” 1 heard later that the air was sul- phurous when Vinton received this epistle, but I was even, and it was a long time before Bob attempted another pructical joke on BiM. my The Ocdntennial, No doubt all the large cities of the United States have held proper core- monies and exercises celebrating the 80th day of April A. D. 1889. I'his was also true to a greater or less extont with smaller towns and villages, and in one little village on the B. & M. railway a banquet was held at which a fow cominercial travelers had the good fortune to be present. The spread was not what one might usually infer from the word banquet, but considering all this might be overlooked; still there wis one thing among the many funny things, which struck me as worthy of spnce in your ‘‘commercial traveler column.” Several ‘‘spread eagle” tousts were given by the merchants of the town, but iet it sulfice to merely uote the toast of a Dutch butcher of the oerg, who endeavored, in bhis own course way, to give a full history of George Washington’s early life: Gentelmans unt Laties unt BEferypody —Dude you knows dot Gorge Vashing- dons vas a leedle poy vonet? Yaas, dot vot he vos, und apoud so many year old, (making & wild gesture and’showing about how tall he was.) Und he had got a grandfather, what vos his own mudder’s fadder, und what nefer tole a lio.

GRAND ISLAND, May 5.—[Special to Tne B J—Thomas J. Blocher, who travels for the P. J. Sorg Tobacco com- pany, of Middletown, O., met with a painful accident at Grand Island Wednesday evening. Just as he was starting for tho train to go to Hastings Billy Collins, the clerk of the Palmer, drove up with a horse and buggy and invited Tom to get in and he would drive him to the depot. Just as they started n canvas covered wagon ap- peared, at which their horse took fright and commenced to lunge and kick. He turned suddenly around, and Blocher, finding that they were going over, made a jump, and as the horse made a lunge at the same time, it threw him on one side and fractured his knee, besides bruising him considerably otherwise. The physician succeeded in getting his knee set, but it is dificulvas yet to pre- dict the result. In any event he will probably go on erutches fora month or 80. As Tom is a persistent and indefa- tiguble worker, thisforced idleness will go nearly as hard with him as the in- juries sustained. Sim was Worked. You must know, dear Mir. BEg, that T have been a drummer s0 many years that my hair has tarned from a° glossy black to an interesting silver since I first went into the business. I have had my share of business, of sport, of adventure, and I have concluded to give you an occasional reminiscence, Perhaps they may provoke a smile from my fellow traveling men, and they may possibly lead to the relation by others of something more entertaining than my memory furnishes. Well, about twenty years ago I left St. Paul, and reached Eau Claire, Wis., the next point'on my route. Here, to my mortification, I learned that my only customer had just gone to the point from which I “had just come. I also learned of a rather startling oc- currence of the might before. It ap- peared that some enterprising hotel thief or thieves had gone through the rooms of the hotel during the night, had chloroformed the various traveling men, and then relieved them of al] their valuables. This was so effectually done that eight nights of the grin were left without money or jewelry, and had to make rather unexpected drafts on their repective firms. The majority had left during the day, but one, a dapper, bright-eyed young fel- low, my informant, remained behind. He stated he was sick from the effects of the dpiate, and would remain until next morning, when he would continue his journey. I was overjoyed that I had escaved by so short a time being one of the plundered, and I confided to my new friend, the dapper young fel- low, that I was more than $200 ahead, as I had just collected that amount in St. Paul.” He congratulated me heartily, shook my hands warmly and invited me to share his room with him, as it con- tained two beds. ThisT gladly did, and we retired early, as my new acquaint- ance complained ot being quite sick at tha stomach from, the effects of the chloroform. I was tired, and soon feelinto a heavy sleep—a very sound one, indeed, for I was not awakened until the next noon, when I was with difficulty aroused to a dim perception of the fact that I was being walked about the room by the landlord, the clerk, a physican, and amotley group of guests and cham- bermaids, who varied the monotony of their lives by prodding me with pins, pinching me, holding & bottle of harts- horn to my nostrils, and many such pleasantrics. I learned,as soon as my mind was clear enough to comprehend, that my dapper new friend and room- mate had left on the early train, telling the landlord that I had requested to be allowed to have a good, long sleep, as we had lain awake most of the night chatting. By the merest accident, it was later discovered that I had been chloroformed, and with the uid of a stomuch pump and restoratives my life wus saved. I may add that T never again saw my dnppurdyoung friend, nor my 3200, nor my gold watch _and chain, nor my dia- mond stud, snd another drummer was compelled to make an unexpected draft on his house. Siat. Drumming Thirty Years Ago. *It amuses me,” said the white- hairod head of a jobbing house to a rep- resentative of the Hatter and Furrier, *‘to hear traveling men nowadays com- plaining of the hardships of the road, the taking of late trains, the traveling in cabooses, and such like inconven- fences. Lord bless you, they shovld have seen the drumiaers of old days and heard their experiences, and then they would have known something about the woes of the traveiing man. Thirty yoeurs ago [ was young, ambitious, full of encrgy and went on the road for a {'uhhing house. When I could not travel by river—-and that could be done only in going through a certain portion of our trade—stage coaches and horse- back were the only means of trave! Many a cold and weary winter’s duy have Ipassed in the saddle, starting out early in the morning, going through snow or rain, fording creeks, and balf frozen all the time, until [ could hardly dismount when my day’s journey wns over, And then there were no banks or collection agencies through the country to facilitate the collection of debts, and the drummers had all of that work to do. We traveled with old-fashioned valises, which could be used as saddle-bags when we had to ride horse-hacl, and these were the recepta- cles for what money we collected. Tt was sometimes pretty ticklish work stopping at lonely taverns with saddle- bags tilled with good, hard money, but it had to bo done, 1 slept on the floor ina livle tavern office one winter's night, with my valise under my head for a pillow, containing over $1.500 cash. It wasa hard pillow, but I felt sufer with it there, and slept quite soundly, The drammers of to-day don’t know what hard traveling is. © They should have frozen, or half drowned, or starved with us of the old school back in the ’60’s. The Fiying Dutchian's Experience, A number of years ago, 1 stopped at Homsted, Texas, writes the Flying Dutchman, 1n the Trinidad Daily Citi- zen, and called on & merchant and sold him two car loads of good merchandise. He asked me to remain over Sunday at the place and invited me to attend di- vine services at the church, in which he was a deacon, at3o'clock in the afternoon, in the school house which served as the church. At 2 o’clock we had dinner and then sauntered out with lightea cigars to the place of worship. It was in Jan- uary, the grass was green, the birds warbled their musical cadences and the day was lovely with the spring sun- shine. Our cigars being smoked, wo wandered across the public square and saw the people congregated in the old- fashioned southern schoolhouse. We entered and walked up the broad aisla, on sithor sido lined with dosks with their ink-stained marks of childish fingers, took our seats near the plat- form raised about one foot from the floor. Mr. Woodyard, my merchant friend, took a hymn book and called out the number of the hymn, read one verse and pitched the tune. After it hada been sung we were seated. About this time a tall man, in butter- nut clothes and blue flannel shirt, with his hair “squigetty,” came up the aisle and made for the platform. IMx-. ‘Wood-~ yard tapped me on the shin, sayin “That’s our minister.” The good man tossed his sombrero hat on the floor, stood to one side of the desk, and opened his sermon, “*Brethren and sisters: On a sickness in the parish the pa have not prepared a sermon, but on my way here, through Brother Lane’s field, I picked up this rock.and also this nut,” both of which he produced from the side pocket of his coat, “and now I will give you'uns a parable from these. I take the rock and break the rind of the uut, which represents the Mothodist church, and the rind is unfit for us next [ break the shell, and this repr sents the Hard-Shell Baptist; this also is no good, and only fit to put undor the heels of men. Next, I subtract the vitality and life, the kernel of the nut, which presents our church, the old Presbyterian, and break the shell’— here he stopped and the kernel fell out tten us sin. congregution whooped and yelled s cowboys. An old woman in the corner of the church fired a hymu book at the head of the “flying Dutch- man,” and gave him a black eye. The congregation were boisterous and wece dismissed. The deacon took the wr by the arm, walked up and down the streot, saying: *Why Hidnivile get a gimlet and bore that nut before he gave that parable?—S brother, let’s take a drinl and if the writer had minded him he would have been slightly ailing by 8 o’clock. count of weok, [ * *e The Hasti Banquet.
