Wholesale merchants in some of the
eastern cities, according to the Chicago
No. are seriously thinking of doing
away with the "city drummer, " although
the part that functionary plays in secur-
ing trade is altogether too important to
make it advisable for one firm TO dis
pense with his services unless all do.
The work of the city drummer consists
IN meeting customers from the country
and amusing them until they make
their purchases and are ready to go home.
AS may be imagined the ''amusements"
are not always the most innocent, and
the strain upon the man who is con-
stantly engaged in them makes the place
a very arduous and high-prioed one OF
ate some Of the merchants have re-
uolnoed these methods as unbusiness-
ike, not to say indecent, and it is not
improbable that the practice may fall en-
tirelY into disuse,

A CONFESSION.

Do you remember little wife,
How years ago we two together
Saw naught but love illumine life
In sunny days or winter weather
Do you recall in younger years
To part a day was bitter painl
Loves light was hid in clouds of tears
Till meeting cleared the sky again.
Do you remember how we two
Would stare into each others eyes,
I'LL all the earth grew heavenly blue
And speech was lost in happy sighsl
Do you another thing recall
That used to happen often then:
How, simply, passing in the hall,
We'd stopto smile and kiss againl
Do you remember how sat
And, reading, held your hand in mine,
Caressing it with gentle pat
One pat for every blessed lnel
Do you recall how at the play
Through hours of agony we tarried!
The lovers griefs brought us dismay;
oh, we rejoiced when they were married
And then walked homeward arm i'm arm,
Beneath the crescent moonlet new,
That smiled on us with silent charm;
So glad that we were married too.
All me, t was years and years ago
When all this happened that | sing,
And many n time the winter snow
Has slipped from olive slopes of spring.
And now oh, nonsense! let us tell;
A fig for laugh Of maids or men!
You'll hide your bushes, I'll not. Well
We're ten times worse than we were then

at his victim. The murdered mans vile
out. The Bishop fell, and Dick, who
ran in from her rooms behind the store
and flung herself down beside the body
with a art.rcndng shrek. Then
the men from the saloon rushed in and
stood looking silently at the bleeding
corpse and at the poor wife, who
mourned the dead man rs sincerely as
though he had been the kindcst Of hus-
bands 10 her.
Her pitiful sobbing aroused the SYM
pathies of the rough crowd, and they
began to look angrily at the victor. one
man pointed significantly to coil of rope
lying on the counter, but the rest looked
at the revolver still grasped in the fallen
mans hand, and they shook their heads.
Dick johnson saw and understood and
he quietly backed up against the wall,
drew another six-shooter, and pro-
cecded to make his defence. lie told
the story Of the bill of sale;
"You see, boys, he swindled me.

His revolvers helped him to make his
peace. These men were not towards,
but they knew they could not take him
alive armed in that way, and, besides,
they thought his conduct quite proper

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.



Were every family to put in practice
the following sensible advice Of Profess
or Faraday, a marked gain in the health
Of its members would be the result: Let
every family in autumn lay in from two
to ten or more barrels, and it will be to
them the most economical investment
IN the who G range of culinary supplies.
A raw, mellow apple is digested in an
hour and half, while boiled cabbage
requires five hours. The most hcalthful
desert that can be placed on the table IS
baked apple. If taken freely at break
last, with coarse bread, and without
meat or flesh of any kind, it has an adj
mirabe effect on the general system, often
removing constipation, correcting acldl-
ties, and cooling off febrile conditions
more effectually than the most approved
medicines. If families could be induced
to substitute the apple-sound, ripe and
luscious - for the pies, cakes, candies and
other sweetmeats, with which children
are too often stuffed, there would be a
diminution of doctors bills sui cient in
4 single year to lay up a stock Of this de-
licious fruit for seasons use.

Looking the matter up for curios ty's
sake, it is found by the Tim s. Dsmoerat
that there are still on the pension rolls of
the country sos men who served in the
war of 1912. The war ended seventy
three years ago. There were, as near as
it can be got at, some $4,000 men who
were recognized as having had PEN
sionable part in that war If service in
the late war turns out to be as conducive

A very..nice preparation for glossy starch

put it into a pitcher and pour on it a
pint or more of boiling water cover the
pitcher and let it stand all night. In the
morning pour it carefully from the drcgs
into clean bottle, cork it and keep it
for use. A tablespoonful of this gum
water should be poured into pint OF
starch made in the usual way, and the
linen starched with it, In ironing col

with a clean, white towel dampened in
soft water. Rub the iron on a cotton

there be brought into politics some ques.

derstand. He is too great wire pullsr
--too cunning in the manipulation Of the
mechanical portion Of politics-to be e..
pecislly good at anything else. And
yet he is expected occasionally to write
messages, and letters, concerning public
affairs. This he is unable to do without
making serious blunders. His first great

prophecy Of dire disaster that must noe.

and the disaster didn't come.

that prices are abnormally low, with no
prospect Of decline unless the Mills bill

their machinery running, and, with few
exceptions, are thought to have little

Buffalo Sensations.

BUFFALO, N. Y, May 10.-This morn
ing was decidedly sensational and dis
astrous one in Buffalo. A number of ex-
plosions of natural gas occurred almost
simultaneously, caused by over pressure,
and created widespread excitement, be-
sides destroying St. Paul's cathedral, the
pride and glory Of the city. An explo-
sion occurred in the furnace in the base
ment, at about 8 o'clock, blowing out the
windows and doors. Flames broke out
and in half an hour the interior of the
beautiful church was in ruins. The
church was valued at about $250,O00; in
sured for 100000.
