To dream! but ah, at last to wake Aud learn that in the tunnel’s din She seized upon her chance to snake His watoh and chain and dismond pin. A Drammer’s Opinion of Tobacco. It was Mr. H. Rosenstock, who rop- resents the leaf tobaceco manufactory of Wedeles & Co., this city, that said: “There Isa vast amount of nonsense spoken and printed about the deliterious effects of tobacco upon the human sys- tem. But the most utterly absurd thing I ever hieard on the subject,” he con- tinued, “was that tobacco i apt to lessen the power of the race to pro- create itself, The theory, of course, is that nicotine acts imperiously upon the nerves, all of which centers in the braiu, which is itself in closest com- munion through the spinal chord with the organs of generaticn. There are people, you know, who say that soup is @ bad thing, because soup dilutes the snslriu Juices so ne ary as aids to igestion. Now, all this kind_of talk, entlemen, is bosh, pure and simple. Pobacco, good tobacco, particularly in the form ot cigars, has no more to do with the organs to which' I have re- ferred than the moon; indeed, the moon has much more to do with them, as you will discover when you begin to become acquainted with tha diseases of women. **So far from tobacco being injurious, I believe honestly that it is an invigo- rant. The statistics of the world’s pop- ulation bear me out. The race which has multiplied itself mostin the past one hundred years isour.own, and we are not the oniy greatest tobaceo produc- ing, but the greatest tobacco consuming nation of the world, and we will always continue to be so. Then there are Ger- many, England, Holland, Italy, Russia, Spain, all great tobacco using countries in which the population shows a steady ‘gain from decade to aecade. France is the only nation in Furope, and I may gafely add, in the whole world, in which the population seems to be dwindliug. But France drinks absinthe, France has less respect for marriage than any other civilized nation, and finally France has reverted to tho old vices invented and made execrable for all time in the eriod of decedence in Greece and ome,” 5 *'No gentlemen,” exclaimed Rosen- stock to his select circle of friends to whom he thus djscoursed, ‘‘you may use tobacco to your heart’s content and rest rssurcd that the item ‘sundries $10’ in your expense account mesans value re- ceived, to you at least, even if the senile head of the home can not see it.” Lost on the Bridge. I stood on the bridge at midnight as drunk as a son of a gun; two moons rose o’er the city, where there ought to have been but oue. I could see their bright reflection in the waters under me as I experienced a feeling of wonder and of great curiosity. If only one had been there [ would not have been in doubt, but what two moons were doing I could not well make out. The tide was slowly ebbing, 1 could hear the waters roll as stood in the wavering shadows tohide rom the night “patrol.” How often and how often in the days of auld lang syne I have tried to cross it av midnignt and lost myself every time, Bat to-night T was hot and rest— less, and my mind was full of care, for the walk tbat lay before me secmed reater than I could bear. I had no atch-key with me, andlocked would be the door, and I would have to sit in the doorway as I oft have done before. T’d have to sit in tha doorway, in agony and fear, till a voice came from the window, “*Did your lodge hold late, my dear?” 5o to-night I stood there. dreaming, and watching the restless tide; a copper oamo along with & wagon and invited me to ride. An Innocent Little Joke, “To the Editor of Tne Bee: A laugh- able little incident occurred out on the Rock Island the other day which may amuse some of the readers of the com- mercial column of Tue BEE. A party of “drummers” had been out ‘‘doing” the branch and were bound for Atlantic oo the evening train, At Brayton G, H. Ruth, a fat, whole-souled traveler of Chicago, boarded the train. Now, Mr. Ruth bas a great liking for “High Five,” and immediately on entering the car inguired for s deck of cards. No one of the party seemod to possess such an article. One of the party, a Council Bluffs drummer, bad, noticed a miuvister of the Methodist persuasion, get on the train at Exing, and immed: ately a thought struck him of how he eould have some fun with George—a little innocent amusement at his ex- nse, Ho hetold Fatty he had seen he sentleman ahead, with gray beard, 2:: 51" ngm‘:‘ll( To tge delig] ll:::dtho W r. Ruth jum| up, rusl o Mr. Minister, dsppgcel - the lder, and enquired: *Mr, have got a deck of cardsY’ The minis- r Was completely dumbfounded, pros- trated, zed, and when he got his breath, he said no in such & manner as to make ‘‘fatty” think he had been struck with a club. He came back _@midst the laughing party mutterin &muhlu;\nu; how he " would plu‘yr even. ONE OF THE PARTY, Oured of Flirting, *No more flivting for me, boys,” re- marked a drummer to some of his Aequaintonces, one of whom wasa re- porter for the Nelraska City Press. I used to go without smoking when I was dying for a cigar, just so I could poin the ladies’ car. But I'm cured. On my last run into Lincoln I met a nice young lady. She was agreeable and of course I made myeelf as nearly so as possible. Had a pleasant half-hour with her be- fore we reached the station, and of course when we got off there I asked her if there were any parcels I could carry for her. Shesmiled bewitchingly and said T might help her if I would be 8o kind. Then she pointed to the seat right behind where we were sitting and there were three bables, assorted sizos, asleep. She sala they were hers. Well, I was in for it, so [ picked up the biggest ones, one on either arm, while she took the kid. We marched out and found a carriage, and I put her in and was about to say good-day, whon she smiled again bewitchingly and asked me to get in. I couldn’t refuse, you know, #0 I went along. We drove out to somewhere near the capitol and stoped before u nice house. A man came running out, lifted out the the babies, kissed them, lifted out the young wofan. kissed hor two or three times, and told the driver he could go. Would you believe it, she was so spoony on that usvand of hers she never said good- bye to me nor looked in my direction at all; and that ain’t the worst of it. I had to pay the carriage hire myself, and lost half a day’s time in the bargain. That woman cured me of flirting so long as 1 live.” A Popular N ‘braskan. Ono of the best known of the Ne- braska traveling men is Colonel W, B. ‘Taylor, of this city, who represents the Wisconsin Farniture & Coflin company, of Lincoln. He was born 1n 1834, and the greater part of his life has beon gpent in commercial pursuits, In faot, his entive life, with the exception of such services as he rendered his coun- wry from 1861 to the close of the late re- beltion. He was living in Fulton county, Tllinois, at the breaking out of the war and raised the first company from that county. He took it to Springfield and tendered it to the governor for the de- fense of the old flag and the preserva- tion and peroetuation of our institu- tions. This company was raised and its services tendered the national govern- ment before any orders had been issued for the arming of state troops. The company was taken out by Colonel Ross in the Seventeenth Illinois. After- wards Colonel Taylor was a member of the Fourteenth, where he was several time promoted for gallant sery Colonel Taylor was in Lincoln in 1 but did not take up his residence here until 1878, since which time he has travelod as a sulesman for a number of Omaha, Lincoln, Council Bluffs and St. Joseph houses and has warm personal friends in every town in Nebrasku, northern Kansas and eastern Colorado. Colonel Taylor has been an enthusiastic republican all his life and has ever been ready to doff his coat and roll up his sleeves for the success of his party. He is one of the Seven prominent candi- dates for the Lincoln postoffice, and the only traveling man of the number, Some of the Rustlers. Among the well known rustlers who wade Omaha last week were A. K. Field, Fred George, J. M. Ledgerwood, Edgar E. Edwards, George Frank, W. E. Hamilton, James Batterman, Id Seifert, Ed Howard, Fred P. Smith, Theodore Springer and C., H. Arnold. These gentlomen revreseut a great variety of wares and every one of them enjoys the benefits of an excellent busi- ness. For instance, Field sells base balls and sporting supphes for the Ridgo company, of Philadelphia, while the next man, Fred George, deals ex- clusively in silk goods. Mr. George ex- pects to make Omana his headquarters after the 1st of January., Ledgerwood introduces Wilson Bros.’make of shirts, Chicago, and George Frank carrys sam- ples of the Sonthale & Beyer furniture, New York, A New Book. Sam B. Harrison, an old time hotel olerk, isthe author of a new work, en- titled “Front!” or ten years with the traveling man. A hasty glance through the book, which has been received, suf- fices to convince the reader that it con- tains many interesting stories, as well as much information about the charac- teristics, peculiaritics and habits of traveling men not heretofore put in print. Women Drummers and Their Ac- complishments, Women are working their way into the commercial traveling business very fast, they are determined and persistent and it will not be very long before they stand on an equal footing with the men. They generally handle silks, ribbons, buttons, trimmings and such goods. Of course equal recognition in business means equal recognition in wages, and in a few years woman will occupy the position she has been struggling for and between her and the man there will be no distinction. It will make a big change in many ways in the relation between man and woman, The law of compensation will get in its inevitable work and revolutionize things. The burden of social expense, for instance, falls on man; the balls, concert and theater tickets, drives, sleighin parties, suppers and all that sort ol thing come from him. TUnder the present distribution of expense and with equal opportunity in money making woman would sess an advantago which nature will not allow to any class, Man’s advantage in that respect has been offset by the extra expenses he hus always been subjocted to, and as woman enlarges her liberty and sphere of ac- tion these outlays ‘will be forced upon herself. It 18 'in the nature of things that the equality talked about so much means equality in all ways, A Ball at the Thurston, CoLumBus, Neb., Nov. 19.—[Special to Tue Bee.]—The first of a sories of balls arrauged for the winter, was given last night at the Thurston hotel. It was & most en joyable occasion to all present. The large dining room was cleared for the oceasion and the eutire house bril- liantly lighted by gas, and many. were the society people present who took part in the dances and enjoyed them- selees ot social games until toward Sun- day morning, A Few Hot Shot. After quoting, the interview in this department, had with Dawson Mayer two weeks ago relative to the decline of the Travelers Protective association, the Merchant Traveler goes for that gentleman’s sclap in this manner. Such men as Dawson Mayer, quoted h* an Omaha paper touching T. P. A. aflairs, are alone responsible for the embarrassed condition of the organ- ization, He wade all that be could THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1889, | out of the association for himself. Hotels, railroads, and even transfer companies were besieged by him for rsonal favors. So long as Mr. Mayer ndividually could get in his fine work he regarded the T. P. A. as a singu- larly fine snap. He has peon identified, since he made a reputationasa T, P. A. worker, with a variety of interests. ing a livelihood, Mr. Mayer has se- lected accident insurance and managed a museum, and has been a mind reader, or something of that sort. NoteS trom the Grip. Will G. Miller, representing P. & . Corbin, New Britain, Conn., is visiting the trade in this city. Miller has many friends everywhere, and is a very pleasant gentleman to meet, Ban Marsh, with Parlin, Orendorfl & Martin, came in Saturday looking weary, but is all ready again to-dny to make another trip. C. E. Clark, with the Omaha Wire company, was calling on friends in the city Saturday. G. H. Tasuman, with Kirkendall, Jones & Co., left for Chicago, Bloom- ington and other points east Thursd evening. . The BEg wishes Mr., mun a ploasant visit, as his is no doubt a well-carned vacation. John Mullowny, with Parlin, Oren- dorff & Martin, packed his grip and “caught a train” just in time one day last week for an extended trip into the Black Hills and Wyoming country. It is said that the gentlemanly manager of the firm, Mr. Martin, seriously con- - templates securing more help to - take care of the orders Mr. Mullowny will surely send in. Ho ,is liable to sell all the wagons and farm machinery in Omaha if he takes a notion and finds the customers. W. H. Rayner, with the Churchill Pump company, was walking down Far- nam street the other day, and looking as big as anybody. He must have been doing a rushing business this year.
