come of ii. One thing so essential to
the well being of mankind, S0ciability,
Is largely taken from the travelling
man. Correct the two evils, and greater
morality would soon be pereeptible.
Tom Collins reads a lecture to num-
Der of travelling men from the Twin
Cities, and the same brings forth the
usual discussion upon the subject mat
ter of accident insurance. Accident
and
INDEMNITY INSURANCE
to the travelling salesman is a good
thing if only properly managed, and
the benefits paid are commensurate
with cost Of maintenance. | have heard
much talk about the Indemnity and Re
lief ASSOCIATION from paying and dropped
members, and all concede it Il little eX
penSive for benefits received. No doubt
all such organizations have many draw
backs, obstacles and imperfectionS
incident to beginning) to over
come, and there is no just reason
why our little Northwestern institution,
with headquarters at Minneapolis,
should not come TO the front as popu-
lar organization. To do so requires
good management, economical eXpendi-
lures, active work by its membership,
and punishment by exposure of any
and all trespaSSing upon the individual
rights of all.
| hope Scottie will find sufficient time,
aside from business and proper devO-
tons to the black-eyed Beatrice upon
whom he doteS, to give lis an occasional
letter. l know how hard it is to begin
again when week OF two has gone by
without writing to the boys. May he
also heed the wise admOnitiOnS of Par
thenia "Black Ewes etc
Out at Detroit, Mimi, railroad cir
cular reads, Gold Facts for the Pub
lie" All the boys can tell what rail-
road cold facts are this winter. They
have been more than judiciouSly seat
tered around. Thanks, gentlemen, we
don't want any more in ours, and in the
future will take your word for it. Give
us warm. comfortable and we'll venti-
lated ears; get in and go out on sched-
ule time; relegate the emigrant car and
Sl0w-going freight far to the rear, and
all will be forgiven.
PERSONAL. NOTES.
81. F.Bridgeman and wife, Perham,"
was written upon the hotel register at
Detroit, 9th. Married on the Sth,
they had gone to the beautiful sum-
mercury at 35 deg. below had no ter
rors for them.
If there is one thing more than an
other L am particular about, it is to do
what some one else commands according
to letter. So when the occupa mt of a
room shouted out to me, Send the
porter up with a pitcher of water" /
could not but ask what room? cold or
warm? hard or soft? and possibly No.
Is took tumble to himself.
c. l.. Nichols, proprietor of the City
hotel, Hawley, MIMI, says if his Their
mometer had been long enough he
thinks it would have registered 80 deg.
below on the 9th. He will construct one
on a new scale for the winter of 1889
with sufficient capacity.
+. w. WllkinSon'S smiling counte-
nance was seen on the Northern Pacific
going west. F. w. was all elasticity,
chewing the cud (spruce) Of content
rate of twenty miles per hour.
0. B. LOomiS had whole bundle of
GLOBE chrOmOS for distribution at Fargo.
His name appeared upon the Sherman
house register Sunday, and some one
wrote after it: Two dollars per day
and no flies on u.s."
All Z. Stewart, the grocery man, was
blowing at Fargo. Cause: Poor train
service.
Let some one ask W. E. Buell. how he
likes jOurneying to Wahpeton via
GAINESVILLE, or MIR. OleSon, of Benson,
the distance from Fargo, via Barnes
vile, to Benson as measured by time
(railroad time(.
There was goodly number of travel
ing men at Wahpeton Saturday, and all
were working tooth and nail to get out
of the town. Chestnut bells seem to
have little attraction for commercial
travellers at the inviting town of Wah-
peton. If it is headquarters for bells, it
is not headquarters for commercial
men. A very little of it goes long
ways with them. VIII it ever be thus?
The gathering at the Sherman, Fargo,
on Sunday was not as large as usual,
but it was a merry small crowd.
