Cobb. Awe about now {s the season of the year when the country buyer with the Missourt habit hits this prosperous and thriving burg. Back home in Keokuk they think he went East to Iny in his fall stock, and maybe pick up a few new ideas for livening the Epworth League meetings, But up along the G. W, W. the kind-faced philanthropists who drive cahe by night know ful: well he came on to be shown, and If somebody holds out on him any of the rea, warm stereopticon views of life in a great clty his | feelings will be deeply pained. You may have noticed, whenever tidings | go out that the Id has beep jacked up a few more notches for the sum> |mer, there's a heavy inflow of country buyers having Sunday-school cons | nections where they came from. ; | These days the patriot who does the welcome-to-our-fair-city turn for | the wholesale house certainly gets his contusions. When he gets to the | office at 9 o'clock A.

So the official entertainer or gost puts a clea collar in his | pocket, wires his wife he won't be home for thnee days, spits on his hands ! | and goes forth to his fate. The country buyer comes trained to the minute and dressing the part. Before he {s out of the city Ilmits of his native place he has unlatched his white bow tle and thrown it out of the car window, stowed aft the gold badge the Bible Class gave him and snuggled into a waistcoat that would be regarded as a breach of ordinance {n Fort Smith. Then he asks the coon porter who owns the train to bring the wine card and touches off an almost Cuban cigar with a fat walst. He won't smoke any of the kind that smell Tike the insulation burning off of a tralley car until he gets back, , either. By the time he crosses the ferry from the Jersey side he has con- . tracted the absence frappy and cremy de menther habit and has a breafiy on him like a medicated lozenge. Down {!n Batan Rouge his conception of a apirited time is to go to an ‘Evening with Edison’ in the leotureroom’ of the First Presbyterian Church and hear the ‘Last Ravings of John Mo- Cullough” on a phonograph; but here nothing satisfies him but the real 4’ | paprika where the chorus comes out amd gives an imitation of a pink | centipede and a large lady in a little boy's bathing sult rides a bicycle into \8 lather. | For two weeks his only regular address is the number in his hat.
