Drcsscd in His SIeep.

The following Joke on a drummer is from
IN exchange and is given out rs gospel truth:
A Chicago commercial tourist found him
self in a predicIment n fcw mornings ago he
will not soon forget. AS will sometimes hap
pen with these Jolly gentry, this young man
had been out rather late one night, an UNI
wise thing TO do in this case at least, rs he
was to start on a trip early tho hext morning.
AS he crawled into bed he told his wife TO
call him sure at ), rs he wished 70 catch a 6
o'clock train. In all probability he was
called on time, and II is just as probable he
did not get up promptly, for he hustled on
some clothes, put himself inside a big, long,
light ulster and scooted for the depot, think
ing of nothing but getting there on tune. All
out Of breath. he made a break for the gate,
when the polite guardian of that portal de
manded his "ticket.n Throwing apart his
buster to get his mileage book, the young
man was astonished TO find himself in his
drawers.. In his hurry and hustle he had
neglected to put on his pantaloons. The
promise OF "A silver dollar 10 the gatenau was
every case made his nearer promise that the
young mans name should be kept secret.

a Champion Checker Player.
One OF the best checker players and story
tellers in the fraternity o. travelling m,n is
Mr.. j. X. Fitch, says the Tribune, who trav-
els for the large wholesale dry goods house
Of Wypian, Mullin & Co., Of Minneapolis.
Mr.. Fitch has q record. lie is q pioneer citi-
zen as well us a travelling man, having made
his home In the Gopher state 10, these many
years. He was at one time mayor Of one Of
the rarat cities. and rumor says he was q
hustler. He hes the averdupols requisite for
a city alderman, and but for his innate mod
esty would have carried OF the leather medal
awarded for big men at the Exposition on

salesman, has no superior. His home Is In

AN OMAHA BOY IN PRir
What Makes a Salesman.

Travelling men, says the La Crosse Demo-
erat, are selected as a rule for their personal
address, intelligence, genial ways and a good
Judgment. To these qualifications expert
ence adds shrewdness in business ~transac-
tons. 1t has been well said that ANY stick
will do for q clerk in the house, but the rep
utation of the firm is in the hands of the tray
cling agent" 1t is the ambition of the clerk
to get on the road. Many fail, too, in the at
tempt and have to resume their former occu-
patton. One point valued in a commercial
man is his ability TO keep posted on the finan-
cial standing of his customers. Practice
soon enables the observing man to detect any
inattention to or neglect of business in the
retailer and put him on guard. Such alert
ness makes the salesman q valuable man.
All of which is true. II is impossible for q
mediocre intellect to succeed in this line of
business. tavoritism cannot enter into the
field of the travelling man as it does often in
the house workers.. No matter how big u
sycophant u man may be his toadyism can
avail him nothing once he is outside OF the
Office or ware room and put in competition
with others. Here his abilities alone must
win. There is no patroniZiug partner To lay
out his lines in pleasant places. There is no
timid underling on whom he can lay the
blame Of his own error. He must stand
alone, work by himself, succeed by his own
merit or miserably fail. Neither is there any
nan way position Wncre inc unaSplrlnB may
plod along in Il comfortably way without any
great cxertion, earning enough to satisfy his
wants and caring for nothing further. The
road is not a pleasure park; it is a battle
field where every man must fight or be tram
pied under foot. The successful travelling
man must be possessed of the ~eloquence of a
Cicero, the finesse of "a Franklin and the ten
acity and the fortitude of a Grant. The road
is no place for the man of keen scnsibilities,
of delicate organism. Such natures are UNI
fitted for the work. and are IA much ont of
place as n lilac tree would be in the streets
Of trade, and they are as soon tramped out OF
= existence.
Yet it is a great school for the strengthen
ing of character, and If q youth has the right
stuff in him for a business man there is no
place like the road to bring it out and no
place where worth is sooner recognized or
moro respected,

ne Western Merchant has adopted

The Western Merchant has adopted novel
scheme in its regular monthly issue in pre-.
senting to its readers the portrait Of
some Omaha drummer. In their Saturdays
Issue they presented a picture of Mr.. George
M. Swigart, of the e-Audreeson
Hardware company. with the following short
history of that gentleman's life:
MIR. Swigart was born in Urbana, Cham
paigu county, Ohio, in 1S4S, on July 4, and in
1919 was taken with his fathers family to
Pittsburg, where his father, a civil engineer
of prominence lost his life through an acct
dent. Young Stuttgart continued in school ut
Pittsburg, finishing his education at Duff's
Commercial college. He went to Chicago in
1865, and entered the employ of Jones &
Laughlin, manufacturers and dealers in
heavy hardware, remaining in their Office till
1867, when he went on the road in their in
tercsts, and in 1850 left them to come to Oma-
ha and cast his lot with his present en-
ployers.
MIR. Swigart is a pleasant gentleman, who
has made hosts of friends among his custom
ers and associates. He is a lover of horses
and does not hesitate to say that he would
prefer to leave the road could he find n con-
v%enient opening wherein 10 place himself
and money in association with his favorite
animal-the horse.
MIR. Swigart's withdrawal from the broth.
erhood of commercial travellers would be re,
GREETED by all of the members no have
learned TO appreciate his many good qualities
of mind and heart, and let US hope he may
remain one of the circle OF Omaha's CONNER
cial men for many DAYS TO come.
MIR. Swigart was seen drummers' day hold
ing one Of the guy ropes OF the banner in the
parade.

A Hotel Joker.

Every one knows Hub Smith, says 'The
Rambler" in the st. Paul Globe, as a jolly
good fellow who always adds cheer by his
presence. He is but one of the great army
of commercial tourists, and travels out of St.
Louis, selling vinegar with "a side line of
soaps from Chicago. One Of his stock argu-
ments is "if | don't sell thisv vinegar it will
soul on my hands" Hub is something of u
wag, and often plays a practical joke upon
some unsuspccting fellow. He was up in
Detroit, Mimi, about the time of the opening
of the Hotel Minnesota, and it happened that
Barnum's or some other show was in town
the same day. Smith approached the clerk,
grip in hand, and asked as to the capacity of
the Office safe, and gently limited that he was
cashier of the show. The safe was inspected,
and By turning out all the books, etc, room
was made for the grip, and it was safely
ensconsced within. There was a confederate
or two in the scheme, and when exploded
the clerk said, cigars all around, gentle
men,
Another time Hub walked into the princi-
pal hotel at Madison, Wis, Gt was about the
time of Jack Dempsey's visit to the Twin
: Cities) and in a bold hand registered Jack
Dempsey, and asked to be shown a room
The clerk whirlcd tho register around, and
reading the name assigned him to one of the
best rooms, and with a great deal OF civility
piloted the way up. Hub remained a few
minutes. and coming down stairs found ahalf
dozen fellows scanning the name, but un-
daunted, he approached the clerk, and asked
to be shown the postoffice. AS he walked
down the street bis confederates heard such
remarks as: "What splendid shoulders
"Look at his legs!' "'Ain't he a %sluggerl'
Returning to the hotel he went to his room,
but the center of attraction that afternoon
was the hotel Office, where nearly every man
in town could have been seen. The joke was
only terminated when Smith had to face
some local newspaper reporter who presented
his card just after supper.
