THE (OMMERCIAL TRAVELER. Bteps Taken to Organize a Olub at the Meeting Yesterday. A CHICAGO DRUMMER ABROAD. Bim Attends an Oda Mop-—Advice For “Fritzie"—Samples From the Grips—Movements of the Tourists. Pun Away From Hoine. Eveiybody knows the arummer, and,above all, knows that sublimated quintessence of the commercial missionary who hmls from Chicago, says the Herald. He towers aloft like Saul, above his competitors, Everybody knows him, his dressy suit, massive watca chain and appurtenances, his genial smile, his self-assertive personality, his push and business tact. He is the evolved product of western life, tireless alike in work and play, fit representative of the metropolis of the wost. But not everybody knows how he, collectively and individually, manages to ex- tract the sweets from life and to crowd a tremendous amount of fun into his exist- ence. In this laudable endeavor, the drummer meets with the hearty co-operation of a ai- vision of the human race but for whom lifo ‘would not be worth living. Thereis a preva- lent idea that the drummer goes about like o roaring lion seeking whom he may de- vour. He is supposed to be a masher and to give his entire time to prey- ing upon the hearts of susceptible femules, It is a great mistake. T'he drummer is not a masher, but a mashee, So far from spend- ing his life in destroying the happiness of the young and unsophisticated among what ho is pleased to call his clientage, the drum- aner is himself a victim. His lacerated heart is scarred by the bright glances shot at him by thousands of beautiful eyes, and were it mot for his wonderful rocuperative cnergy he would be a wreck. The fact is that the drummer is the slave of love, bound, like n knight of old, to wear a lady’s favor in his cap and to devote himself to the service of his dulcinea, ‘Take, for instance, the case of Smith, the representative of a leading dry goods house, ‘with a salary of $3,000 a year and an easy- gong cashior to overlook his expense ac- count. Thirty years old, well-dressed from hat to boots, good-looking in & manly way, and full of health and good spirits, e grabs his grip ten minutes vbefore train time and in a few hours is a couvle of hundred miles away from home. See him as he lauds at the far-off town; see also what fate has thrown in his way. Isit his fault that the belle of Corntown looks over her shoulder at the gorgeous vision! Smith would be ex- tremely ungallant if he did not raise his hat to such a trim-built ficure. The lady looks again; she smiles. Smith’s susceptible heart is aflame. He speaks, the lady replies—the mischief has begun, Suppose then the acquaintance made. Love laug locksmiths, and Smith’s time is short. Somehow or other he manages to get permission to call. Armed with the biggest bouquet he can procure he lays his offering at the feet of his temporary divinity. He can uot help it. If the girl—but what is the use of trying to divide the responsibility in such cases’ The fatal curiosity which since the first garden party has characterized all of Eve's duughters still burns in their hearts. Smith has forgotten all about the rightful claimant to his affections, who bears his name and spends ris salary for him, Occasionally our friend makes a mistake, but that is invariably causea by his too earnest desire to please. Like the sailor, with a lass in_every port, Smith sometimes falls into the error of making his attentions too general. There have been cases where this Eh“unlhmlliil has mixed his dates, so to speak, and where two ladies come down to see him off. It is very awkward when, after a lengthy parting from Miss —— at her father’s garden gate, he strolls down to the depot to exchange an undying farewell with his other best girl, and the first inamorata follows in the hope of ‘‘seeing him out of sight,” as the girl did in Tom Hood’s poem. Such catastrophes as are depictod here are not entirely outside of the experienco of our traveling friend. Over the consequent scene of hair-pulling, the unkindly recriminations of the ladies und their joint and vehement denunciations of the base deceiver let us draw the mantle of charity. IRather let us think of Smith in the bosom of his family, all his trials over except that of squaring his expense account. With his youngest hopeful in his arms, and Tommy (aged nine) performing a solo on a tin trumpet for his special benefit, you may fancy him exolamning to the partner of his joys aud sorrows, whata dreary miserablo rip he had. Poor hotels, long waits at side stations, not a soul to speak to except mer- chauts who would not buy; such is the bur- den of his complaint. No, he did not have a time; he is going to quit thiscon- founded road business. The firm must give him oftice work so he can be at home even- ings with his family. “Notbing,” says Smith, *is so aestructive of the domestic ties as these compulsory absences from one's wife and family, and I am glad to get” once more back to my own roof and to see you all ;fnin." And of course his wife believes n. Sim Attends an Odd Hop. In a previews communication I stated that I'had had my share of adventure. Perhaps, the oddest thing vhat occurred to me while o the road, was the following: My house had taken a considerable contract in furnish- ing supplies for au asylum for tao insaue. It was my duty to superintend the delivery of the goods, 8o that I often met the superin- tendent of tho asylum, a very clever, humune eld gentleman. On one of these occasions he asked me whether I would iike to remain to a hop, to be given the inmates that evening, assuring me that it would be a very enjoyable affair, as all violent snd totally idiotic patients ‘would be excluded. tion. ‘The ball was. really delightful. The pa- tients entered into it with a zest. 'With the exception of un occasional slight bewilder- ment, a discordant laugh, or some irrelevant remark or sound, ovarfhinx went on as at any sumilar hop given by saue peoplo. At one time during the evening, 1 enterod into conversation with a vory charming, sweet-looking young lady, who sat near me. To my surprise I found her conversation refined, connected and exceedingly interest- ing. 'Her e race of mauuer, her youthful beauty, and her evident udnnufu of education, made a very strong impression unfortunates. some time, and was unable to discover what her particular manin was. Full of sympathy, 1 left her, and, going to the superintendent, said, with a Lrewmbling veice: “What a dreadful atiction! What a horrible visitation of Providence! My heart bleeds for that beautiful young woman in plnk, It seems wncredible that avy cloud should rest upou her mind.” “Cloud! fiddlesticks!" oried the superin- tendent. *‘She is a guest, likke yourself, Let we ll;luodnw you.

A salesman should al- ways look noat and tidy, never be over- dressed, always be pleasant without being obtrusive, It s in bad taste for a “drum- mer" to make himself the most promnent snbject of the conversation, In these days, merchants even in _remote country towns have good facilities for keeping informed, so a bad impression will be mado h‘- the drum- mer who nssumes a lofty air and endeavors to make tho trade feel that he knaws it ail, and that his opinion should beaccepted with- out question. A drammer should never mis- represent any article he offers for sale, as it is dificult to regain confiden after it has once been abused. Courteous and careful attention should bo given every comvlaint and where such is found reasonable and just the prudent salesman will use his best en- deavors to have the samo righted by “‘the but where a fictitious or unreason- nandsis made ho sh firmly de- cline to interfero, Pleasant s qualities are most desirable, A story well told, a song well sung, a neat little speoch at table, will often produce happy results.

Great Crowds Witness Alphonse King's Novel Performance. At 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon fully 30,000 people were along botnh sides of the river, and hundreds more leaned over the rails of the bridges, awaiting the appear- ance of Alphonse King, the aquatic bicyclist, who was scheduled to give an exhibition of his feats upon the waters, having been en- gaged for that purpose by Brandeis & Son of “The Fair.” There was some delay, but King finally made his appearance & short distance above the Douglas street bridge. To those below it looked as if he were really riding a bicycle over the waves, but as he drew nearer it could be seen that the bicycle was borne over the water by a catamoran arrangement. Ou either side of the wheel was a cigar shaped cylinder made of metal and air-tight, making them bouyant. The wheel, which was operated by means of pedals as on an ordinary bicycle, had paddles aftixed to the tire, and these furnished the motive power. The handles were attached to a rudder, en- lbhflfi the ridér to steer the contrivance in any direction he desired. King rode out nearly to the middle of the strezm and zig- zagged down the river until he passed the lower bridge where he landed, He was fol- lowed in hus course by men in boats, who Kept sufficlently near him to rescue him in case of mishap. Sleepless nights made miserable by that terrible cough." Shiloh’s Cure is the remedy for you. For sale by Good man Drug Co. W. A. PINKERTON.
