) THE COMMERCIAL TRAVELER, Faots and Fancles For the Tourlst of the West. THE DUTCHMAN AND SCHEMS Opinion of Grocery Combinations— One Who Couldn’t Oatch the Idea—A Drummer Who ‘Was Bound to Sell. Treat Rim Gently. Michigan Tradesman. Warmly press his jewelea flipper, Ask him how he fares to-day; k to hum in accent chipper, Last 10 all he has to say; Greet the envoy from the centers, From the marts of every land— behold | the drummer enters ith his sample case in hand! For you will not see him ever, Seme day he'll be laid away, ‘With his little yarn together Hidden far from light of day. Then remorse your peace will scatter If you e're did give him pain, And you'll miss his merry chatter ‘When the robins nest again. Hearken, then, O merchant Croesus! To his merry little tale: Think of home joys that ho misses In his life upon the rail; Think what you would do without him And his grip and sample case— What a charm there is about him From his toes to smiling face He it is that ever brings in All tho latest and the best, Makes you buy the very things in ‘Which you “*Tom" or “‘Dick” or “Jimmy." Telis you all the latost news; If you're not in first rate trim, he Quickly drives away the blues. Greet him, then, with welcomo cheery; And when his race has run, ‘When at last of life he's weary, And his last yarn he has spun, Plant him ’neath tho weeping willow— Sing of all that's sad and meek, ‘With a grip sack for a pillow And a rock upon his cheek. . s Too Many Schemes. A few years ago I was introducing plug to- ‘bacco, calling on the retail trade all over the state of Minnesota. And what a job it was to get in anew brand! Iwentintoa f sized general store to find the merchant busy. 1 deposited my samole case dowa by the door waiting a chance to talk to hun, and to amuse myself played with a large cat that was taiking a nap on the counter. After waiting quite a while be got through selling to his customers, and that was my chance to talk business to him. The merchant proved to be a German, and such a_stout old gentleman he was. Ho came from behind the countor with u smile on his face and put out his hand to shake, at the same time saying “‘wie gehts!” I ‘an- swered him in German, He at once spiod my grip, which was a rather strange looking oue, as it contained a very fine tobacco cut- ter and was more tho shape of a tombstone than anything else. The smileon his face faded out and he dropped into a large chair, at the same time saying, “My friend, what ave you. got theres’ I told him it was a fine tobacco cutter, with clock and cigar cutter attached. ‘s it & scheme?” he askod. “Well, sir, we give them away with five buts of tobacco.” ‘‘Please take it away and do not show it to me &8 I am most a ruined man in business with schemes.” Ho requested me to sit down and offered me a cigar to smoke as he wantea to give me his experience, and as he talked all in broken English I could not re- frain from 8o domg. ‘*About dres years ago I vas youst come to dis gountry and have dree dousand dollars Id.

The New York Retail Grocers' association met last weel, and the members were en- thused by assurance that the New Jersey State grange and the Natioual grango are in ull s ympathy with them in their efforts to eform trade abuses. Tne support of the granges gives the re- tail grocers and butchers who are in the for there are association a great backing, 9,000 farmers and fruit growers in the New Jersey grange, over 800,000 in the National grange, which is composed of 11,000 sub- .

A popular Louisville drummer, wearing a soft wool hat and a tourist, fancy flannel shirt, whilo waiting on the platform at Glas- gow Junction for an incoming train, had the following atmusing experience by way of variety : . With a grip in each hand he stood waiting for the passengers to get off the train just arrived, when an English gentleman dressed ina gray plaid suit, helmoet hat, knicker- bockers, a linen knapsack strapped on his back, and a large fleld glass in a leathern case hanging.by a strap frowm his shoulder, stepped frowm the train. Notiving vhe drum- mor, who scemed to be expectantly waiting for somebody, he thus accosted him: ““Here, me man !

He is one of those methodical men, of quiet and reserved address, whose sincerity and earn- estness of manuer have influenced many big sales. With an underlying sense of cyaicism and a good deal of a wag ina dry sort of a way, he may be recognized when described as oae of those humorous men who never smile. It was during his first trip of this year that he had invaded the establishment of the most important dealer in read. clothing of one of the large nterior cities of ths state. "This particular merchant is rated one of the toughest cases in the trade to sell a bill of goods on which any profits shall be left to the wanufacturer. Of course hie would look at the live of goods, “but he really was not quite ready to buy.” Then the sincere and earnest salesman, with confidence in his line, got in his finest work, and atter a deal of haggling over the price he found he had registered on his memorandum boolk an order of unexpected magnitude. He had closed his book, and, with an air of self-satisfaction, clapped it into his inside pocket, when his customer, as if recollecting somothing unusual which had escaped his mind, exclaimed : “By the way, about terms?" “QOh, regluar, I suppose.” 0, no, we gret seven off all around.’” even off ten.” o, indeed, seven off thirty days.” “Well, I suppose it's got to go,” and the salesmun drew forth his memorandum book made @ note to that effect,” 0w, about the dating?" “*Well, I had not thoughi of that.

You know you are to pay all the expenses of shipment, and curtage, I always get goods delivered at the deor, charges prepaid.” “‘Now, lot me see,” said the salesman, with an air of frozen imperturbability, as he listed this final concession, and then contemplated the aspect of the order upon his book. *‘J ob- sorve that you have got special prices all ed tell you how we'll fix it. We will forward you the goods and invoices and you just send back the discounts.” -— TO-DAY'S BLECTION, ‘To-day the election of five members of the school board, to succeed Meossrs, Webrer, Spalding, Morrison, Spore and Parmalec, will be held in this city at the following places: First ward—Pacific school building, Pa- cific street, near Tenth stroot.

The fact is, this backward sea- son is having a depressing effect on the woolen and clothing market, Manufacta- rers find themselves overstocked and demoralized, and accept almost any offers that are made to clear out their seasonable stocks. We can NOW buy goods from the best houses in the country AT PRICES MUCH LOWER THAN WE COULD MANUFACTURE THEM OURSELVES., Our buyer ‘is always on hand. When a manufacturer or wholesaler nesds money, he comes to us. We set the price on his goods, and the manufacturer’s loss is our customers’ gain. Hence it is that we ean sell Suits now for $15.00 for which other houses charge $25.00. The goods we received last week have compelled us to make a big cut on the prices of suits loft from the early purchase, so as to be uniform with the low prices of the new goods. Our stock of Men's and Boy's Clothing is now much larger than at the begin- ning of the scason. Come and see and judge. Suits are things you must look at to judge of their value. It is easy enough to describe them, but description doesn’t show them. Our new suits are a sight to ses, and a few minutes inspec- tion will show you THE GREAT ADVANTAGE OF BUYING NOW. It iy not a saving of one or two dollars that we are speaking about this time. [T IS A SAVING OF TEN DOLLARS OR MORE ON A STRICTLY FIRST-CLASS SUIT, and if this saving is any object to you, you will buy NOW. We are showing this wesk a line of sack suits in Worsteds, Corkscrews and Cheviots marked $14 75, and Cutaway suits marked $15.00. These suits are positively as good as you can get in any store in Omaha for $25 00. In the furnishing Department we have opened today several new cases of Under- wear at prices about 25 per cent less than the same goods could be bought for a few weeks ago. Lisle Ribbed Shirts and Drawers at 45¢, worth 750. Fanoy Bal briggan Shirts and Drawers at 55¢; these are indeed surprising value.} Nothing less than $2,00 per suit wonld buy such goods at any other place. IMPORTANT, We have just closed a deal on a manufacturer’s entire stock of Summer Clothing. The price at which we bought these goods will enable us to offer thin Coats and Vests at about 50¢c on the dollar, We expect to paralyze the clothing trade. The goods will be npen Monday or Tuesday.

But Manitou is only an irregu- larly built village, with a few very com- fortable awellings of good style and some large and well-appointed hotels. So much has_been written descriptive of the town that little is left to be told, and the pictures have so often boen overdrawn that the tourist is disap- }minwd on his arrival at the place.
