question him when the darky made
another futile dash for liberty. A

of pistol and though the boys father

pistol and was on his way to church,
President MADDEN fined him $40, max

The Legislature, of 1876,
passed law charging license
of SO per day upon every
commercial agent doing bus
mess in the State. If the drum
mer did but a days business he
was taxed in each county where
he solicited. At the time the
Act was passed, a dozen drum
mers day came to nearly every
town, transacted business, spent
money freely and their pres
ence was particularly welcome.
After the law went into effect
Nevada was given the cold
Shoulder by these men, and the
Nevada merchants began to feel
that they were not benefited by
the change and the business
community realized the same
thing. Now merchants order
ing goods are obliged to go in
person to San Francisco and in
spect the goods they buy and do
not have an opportunity Of COM
pairing them with samples
which drummers bring from
Chicago and New York. Not
getting the benefit of the drum
mers' competition, they pay
high prices fer goods and the
public is taxed to make it up.
The San Francisco wholesalers
knowing this, charge consider
ably higher than they would
were the representatives of
Eastern houses in the field.
The State is not now deriving
any revenue from the law and
thousands of dollars which used
to be spent here by drummers
now goes to Utah and California. |
If outside business houses wish |
to compete for Nevada trade it |
seems a folly to put such a tariff |
on their agents as to keep them
out altogether. The APPEAL
would like to hear all sides of |
this subject from business men
and newspapers in view Of the
fact that the Legislature is about
to meet, that the members may
be prepared to vote intelligently
upon a modification of the law
to allow the drummers to sell to
iealers only, and impose heavy
license upon those who attempt
10 retail to consumers, would
doubtless be satisfactory to all
oarfiaS

The Caplin.

The caulin is small fish, of the sal
mon species, about the size of the smelt,
and very like it in appearance. 1t never
varies more than two or three days in
the time of its coming to the Newfound-
land shores. where, late in June, it sud-
denly throngs all the bays in prodigious
numbers. A single boy with a small
dip net can catch several tons day,
and few men can readily secure a
schooner load. The waves dash the
caplin on the shores in great numbers,
and the residents often cart them away
for manure. Although a delicious fish,
much like the trout in flavor, the caplin
is rarely eaten. Indeed, for a fishing
people, these islands are amazingly
backward in the use of their food fish.
Few of them even know how to cook
the cod so as to be eatable; they rarely
eat the trout with which their inland
waters are filled; and though they raise
the best potatoes in the world, they
seem profoundly ignorant of that deli
cious product Of Yankee-land, the cod
fiEh-ball. After the caplin 60 away, in
July, the squid come in, and after them
the herring, SO that Providence has pro-
vided triple series of cod bats, with
out any one of which third OF the sea-
son would be lost. --Newf ouzsdland Cor

Fall styles for Men.

In neckwear the puff scarf is to take
the place of all the various shapes of
fiat "breast- plates" This is an
adaptation OF the French style, and the
manufacturers are wing with one an
other in the endeavor to produce the
handsomest effect. The small figures
and polka-dots that have been so pop
ular in the past will be superseded by
tlaring colors and rich velvets. All the
grounds are brilliantly lighted and COW
cred in the brightest tints--cardinal,
gold, bright blue, gendarme, etc. The
designs are mostly bold, in two-color
spots and rings, and all over ISSUED
satinS.
In handkerchiefs, new designs are
shown in linen with very striking
figures and colors, mostly of plain
color surrounded with brilliant border,
of Roman colors and large spots. The
silk handkerchief is scarcely shown save
in the variety known as English silk,
and plain white is to be more popular
among the ultra fashionable than it has
been for eight years.
There are no changes to report in
shirts for evening dress, and, although
some very dressy young men will wear
an embroidered front, the plain bosom
with small studs is the proper thing.
The open front is worn more than it
has been for years, and, as it is some
thing of novelty of late years, it bids
fair to be all the 60.
In half-hose, Roman colors will be all
the rage; terra-cotta shade is to be,
however, a strong favorite. In pure
silks, for full dress wear, black will be
generally worn, but other solid colors,
navy-blue, garnet, etc., will find pur-
chasers.
Suspenders will be non-elastic silk in
rich sporting designs, and the polka
dot will be popular, variously mounted
with silver, and Gilt chains and white
calfskin.
The favorite color for gloves will be
mahogany and red tan; the material
will be fine chevrette. 1t is impossible
to thoroughly stamp out the standard
black, though self-embroidered will be
worn.
In jewelry the unique French patterns
will find ready sale for scarf-pins, as
there is an increasing taste for designs
that are not worn by everybody else; and
as the fashions in this article change SO
frequently, gentlemen prefer to pur-
chase the imported article in preference
to pure gold and jeweled pins shown by
the jeweler. In rings and sleeve but
tons hammered and plain Roman gold,
incrusted, will be enregle. The stones
to be worn are diamonds, aqua marine,
jacinth, pink, tourmaline and crysolite.
though much latitude is allowed in this
matter.-N. Y Home Journal.

certain that fact, without asking any
questions about it, but, if they had been
looking out about ten minutes after
their own arrival, they would have seen
a familiar figure enter, bolt the door,
and walk softly up to Joe s room.
The next morning they slept 50 sound
ly Nanny had to ring the bel, an UNI
precedented act, for they were generally
up at dawn. They came down very
hungry, very happy and quite content
to find themselves in their own places
at the breakfast-table, cosseted by Mann
my, instead OF waking up in the hay on
the top of Captain Migrants barn.
Somehow, seen by daylight, their plan
of going to sea looked very silly and
dreary.
While they were eating breakfast,
Baasha said there must have been a
''traveler'' along the night before.
''Traveler'' was the old country name
for tramp" The grass was trampled
about the buttery windows, and she had
found a deficiency of doughnuts and
cookies, and there wasnot SO much cold
beef for breakfast as she thought there
was. Tom and Bert did not dare to
look up while she was telling this. If
they had, they would have observed an
unusual twinkle in Joe's eyes, as he
looked at them, and a suspicious witch
inc at the corners of his mouth.
''Poor cretur!" said Nanny, who al
ways had tender spot in her heart for
hungry folks. Il hope the vittles tasted
good to him.
In conclusion, I will add one very
mysterious incident. 1t will be remem-
bered that the boys packed their pro-
visions in large tin pail, and they GER
tainly never thought of taking it with
them on their rapid retreat from the
barn; but YOU should have seen Tom
eyes when he pointed out that very pail
to Bert, as it stood on the kitchen
dresser that morning. --Frances 4.
