CIG DUDGET OF NEWS CURIOS, Not Dead But Simply “Tooting"— Sampling a Jokelet — Whae the Hoys Say—Some Excellent Sug- gestiona and Storics. A Traveling Men's Olab, Prequently during the past few months Tie Bee has suggested to the traveling men the many savantages that would certainly follow their having a permanent organization in this city. Last week several gontle- men of the grip werc seon regarding the matter, and all expressed them- selves as heartily in favor of sucha move. aid one who was par- ticularly prominent in both of the traveling men’s day successes: “An association or club with headquarters in Omaha is something which would be of greater benefit to the traveling men thau thoy would per- haps imagine at first thought, It would among othemthings give them a com- mon center for meeting and ng called to when any question arises which it would be to our interest to consider as a body. Kvery other body of men has an organization an I can conceive of no set that needs to pay attention to their interests more closely than the travel- ing men. For my part I propose to be- gin and stir the matter up and talk to the boys as I meet them on the road.” Another drummer said: *‘Yes, such & departure as an organization or club composed of travaling men has seemed actually or at least almost necessary. ‘The nced of euch a thing was shown when we were arrang- iug for traveling men’s day in this city. Had there been a permancnt or- f:unzu!im\ here in Omaha we could have arrangea for the last display with just half the work and worry and in iusL about a quarter of the time. Aside rom this, however, the long and the short of itis thut we need a traveling mens organization 1n Omuha for a thou- sand rensons many of which will sug- gest themselves to the boys. I have no doubt whatever but that the boys would all be in for it.” Hoe Gave 1t Up. “No, I don’t have much traveling alone,” said Miss Bleanor Stackhouse, the Chicago Tribune’s “No.a Marks,” during her recent visit to Omaha. I have bocome so accus- tomed to taking caro of myself that I am very seldom annoyed. Occasionally, however, a would-be masher attempts to get up a flirtation. Not long ago a Chicago drumwer occupied a seat just back of me in a reclining chair car. He went through the usual methods to get up a flirtation.” trouble in _-*Shan’t I raise the window for you?” he said, “If you ploase,” said L. **Allow me to lower your chair for 3o *Thank you, 50 much,” I said when he had completed the operation. ‘‘The car porter in the menntime was contemplating the whole proceeding from the rear of the car, and probably congratulating himself on being ro- lieved of a part of his duties. “Finally, after several desultory ob- servations about the weather and other topics of equally absorbing interest, my fellow passenger inquired: ** ‘Aren’t you frequently annoyed by the 2 attentions of men when ‘travei- ing® * ‘Very seldom,’ I said, ‘except by Chicago drummers.’ *In a very fow moments my Chicago friend found something very interest- ing in ano her car.

The firm here knew that he was there and they were alarmed. They wired, but were unable to get a reply to any of their dispatches, as the lines in that soction were on the ground. The wracks were washed outand traios did not move The young drummer fail- ing to get word from his house, and being unable to leave where he was stopping, fell in with a compuany of % {oung men and had a royal big time. He had some prize sample cigars, and he opened box after box, and they were ,smoked un. He had a good deal of pre- mium chewing tobacco, and the country boys helped him chew it. When the : wenk ended he was without samples. During the excitement he did not stop to think in whata predicament he would be whea he would start out with a score of empty grips. He ‘stuck’ by the town, onjoving himself with the boys untit to- ward the end of the week, when hé re- cerved a dispateh from the house read- ing like this: ‘Are vou killed? Wire particulars.” It flashed in his mind to put up a pitiful story, and he sent them this: ‘Not dead. ~scaped with my life. -Samples gone; send more.’ [t was n great hit. The proprietors re- sluulllmfl the sample cases, and in ad- ition, sent the representitive several boxes of fine Havanas for his own use. *“I'he young man made his rounds on the extras and cameé into the city as fresh as you please, receiving the con- gratulations of friends avd the firm,” 1nis a Joke. al traveling men arrived on the 4:15 0. m, B, & M., traiu at Orleans one duy last week. The purty consisted of W. S, Helphroy, G. A, Voegelt and I, A. Patridge. They were not desirous ©f retiring 1 the sacred precincts of rivate domiciles at that sl,rlg‘hour and accordingly decioed to put a joke up on some unsophisticated individual who might perchance be sleeping. The first move of the trio wus to appropriate the call sheet and change the calls from The victims oper- ated on were Frank Hotch, a St. Joe shoe maun, Mosher, the candy man from the sume place, and several ‘others. At 6 o'clock promptly the night clerk remarked “that it wus make some calls and Vogel interposed and said he would be glad to ofticiate in that capacity and the request was readily granted. The committee that had changed the call sheet had substituted vcoll water for warm, aud the former was placed at the door of each sleeping apartment, Those who came down eariy inm the morn had the pleasure of being seated iv an ice chair that had been brought in from the piazza. They in turn enjoyed a hearty laugh on those who occupied theso treasured seats later on in the game. It is needless to state that the cigars were freely passed around and several inventories of Mil- waukee beer were consumed 10 square the deal. W.S. Helphray, the oyster man, succeeded in playing an active part in the pame. The Boys Say So. Spinach croguettes are a delicacy. La Grippe loves a shining mark and many traveling men know it. A machine has been invented buttering broad. Green corn is daily Francisco hot The extent to which waiter-tipping is going is beyond all reason.

About5 o'clock they returned with one toothless old rabbit, which Rhen had accideutally stepped on and killed. They claimed to have shot 102 and loft them " in the care of a farmer until they could send for them. The boys say Landlord Kidd shot four times atan old stump and then threw his gun at it in a vain attempt to kill it, imagining it was a jack-rabbit.

Rheumatism is caused by lactie acid in the blood, which Hood's Sarsaparilla neutralizes, and thus cures rheumatism. A LION ON HORSEBACK, Rehearsal at Covent Garden of Feats by Princo Leo. Ona of the sensations of the holidays will certainly be the lion who, though only fifteen months old, is able to earn a very handsome hiving for his proprie- tors, says the Pall Mall Gazette. 1 was introduced to him at a rehearsal which took place in the arena of the opern- house yesterday afternoon. It was his debut in the English sawdust, and he thoroughly enjoyed himself. ' Do rot, tender and toothsome reader, imagine that Prince Leo is let looso in the ring. No. He is young and playful now, but some day he might take it into his handsome bead to make a leap into the stalls and walk oit with a plump mor: which was never intended for butcher’s meat before measures could bo taken to stop him. A circular cage is vun up in tho ring with a coroneted top piece, which is let down from the upper regions as a lid. A pretty little white horse with a white tail, with a vad on his and an arrangement of armor on his Mmyne, is trotting round the ring. All is ready, and a gang of men wheel up a gorgeous den to the door of the cage. Out bounds the lovely voung lion. a splendid beast in admirable con- dition, rouring and gnashing his teeth, rolling his eyes, and whirling his tail around. 1 take it that these signs de- noted his pleasure at greeting his old friend, the white horse with the tow- ing tail. Before the lion had got well out he was followed by a splendid IRus- sian boar-hound which lives with him in perfect amity. The trainer is a Gor- man, a short, well-built little man with a pair of fine mustachios. He is armed with a whip only, and immediately orders the lion to take his place on a wooden pedestal about five feet high, which he does with pleasurable pla- cidity. Then the per}urm:lnl:u bogins. Affer showing his obedience to his master with just a snarl and a growl or two to mark time, he is ordered to Jeap from his pedestal onto the horse’s back, a feat which he accomplished with ease and graco. The horse then cantcrs round the ring, the dog following, and the trainer 1n the center with his eye always on the lion. The horse is a small one—not much bigger than a pony, in fact—and it is quite wonderful how easily he takes to his rider, who scales sixteen stone. A platform 1s then fixed up high enough for the horse to pass under. Prince Leo mounts and jumps from the horse’s back onto the platform, and when tho horse comes round again he resumes his seat with all the nonchalance of a first class equestrian, If his master does mnot give the order the lion remains on the platform, Itisvery comical to see Prince crouching on the platform with his head bent down to watch the approach of the horse. He re- peated thisfeat several times without a hitch and with a grace which made the performance not on wonderful but pleasant to watch. Virtue is rewarded with a lump of meat. Next comes a race. The horse, the lion, and the dog tear around the ring, taking a hurdle on the way with great pleasure, though Prince opened his mighty jaws and roared in wnes which made me glad of the iron barrvier. For the last act the lion jumped onto the platform and fired a pistol. A lump of meat dangled from astring attuched to the trigger, and that was how 1t was done. The lion, by the way, comes from Hamburg, and is the property of Hackenbach, the famous animal dealer. —_— In a letter dated January 6, 1890, Dr. B. Hamlin of Lemoore, Cal., says: **The lot of Chamberlain’s Cough “Remedy which I sold here has created such a demand for it that T cannot well get along without it.”” This popularity was not created by advertising, but people who used it, finding 1t so much superior toany other remedy they have ever used for a cough or cold that they rec- ommend 1t to their friends and neigh- bors. Dr. Hamlin, who is the druggist there, ordered a hatf gross more to sup- ply the demand. s most excellent remedy is for sale at 50 cents per bottle by all druggists. “FLY WITH ME," How the Romance of Love-Making is Desrtroyed on the Stage. Consider what love-making on the stage really means, says Mrs. Kendal in Murray’s Magazine. A young girl comes into & theater to play ingenue parts. She stands in the wing ready to be called upon the stage and she seos a muan and woman making love. The man says, ‘‘Dearest, fly with me.” The woman says, 1 dare not.” The man says, “*We will go at once; come.”” The first time such words as those fall on the earsof a young girl unaccustomed to hear them they might, if said with fervor and passion, mean something, but this is the way it generally goes: “Deurest, fly with me,” no, no!”’ from the stage man- **when you say that you stand at ck of the chair, you lean over Miss Szooks’ back; she waves her hand you. Now, try it.” This is gone over twenty times, until at last the idea of **Fly with me,” asun- derstood by the young ingenue, must be of a most appalling ikind, The gentle- man has had his right arm, his leftarm, his right leg, his left leg, his back, his chest, both his hands, his head—all tallked over. He has tried itin a high voice, he has tried it in_a low voice, i‘m has tried it in a thin voice, he has tried itin a heavy voice, until there 1s no sense left of what “Fly with me” might under other circumstances mean. All the romance of love-making is gone. Therefore, what eflect oan it have? In love is it not the fact that some of the f,hu&'m lies in treating of an unknown and?

T'his con- trivance was recontly invented in tho cir- culation department and adopted as a timo- saver. It requires forty minutes from the time the press starts to get the Fiyer mail on the wagon and tou minutes to got it to the depot and on the train, all ot which demoustrates the activity necessary in the executiou of this important work, Recently twenty minutes were taken off the time formerly allowed the mailing room and transfer wagon and the Kiyer was started that much earlier. This was made possible by un increase of the mailing force and by utilizing about ten minutes formerly occupied by the train in waiting for time. Tnis was accomplished without closing the last form a second carlier, ‘The train, in charge of a conductor and a representative of the circulation department of Tne Bie, leaves at 3 a. m. and makes its first stop at KFrewmont at .
