miles from his base Of supplies. 1t is
useless for him to attempt to sell any
thing within thirty miles of large city
or anywhere near railroad. The
peddler must now plunge into the
wilderness; he must go among people
who live far away from railroads or
country stores. 1t is the people who
only visit some civilized place, such
as the crossroads, about twice a year,
who never take a newspaper, and, no,
never even go to church, who consider
the peddler the most important visitor
that ever raps at their doors. Wisely
enough, the peddler penetrates deep
into the mountain fortresSes before he
begins to ply his trade. 1t is among the
inhabitants of such places that his dry
goods and ribbons are most apt to be
appreciated.
For several days the peddler makes
an anxious calculation o. the articles
which are apt to be most easily sold in
the places where a visit to country
store is all event of the greatest i'm
portance. 1t is wonderful how much
the peddler can stow away in the pack
which he bears upon his shoulders. In
selecting his stock he shows no small
amount of knowledge of human nature,
and especially of female human nature.

The package with single bottle had

sary to form a partnership in order to
buy your beverage. The town was less
Sociable Wednesday than she was Tues

hail passerby and salute him with:

Then came the only original whisky

Original package" The stamp was
put on before the package left st. Paul.
In not a single instance has a package
of any kind been opened on the prem
ises where it was Sold The result has
been that there is no longer any sale for
kindling wood. If pater famiiias does
not dare to take the package in the
house, he has probably secreted it in the
attic OF woodShed, and no one about the,
place understands where SO many little
pine boards come from.
The Minnesota public and those Da-
kOtans who are practical temperance
people in contradiStinction to the pro-
hibitionists have very little idea how
this new industry IS carried on. Many
suppose that there is bar, and
that man with white vest,

stands behind to receive your orders.
The new industry requires no fixtures
of the kind. A Methodist elder could
not for the life of him tell that he was
in place where liquor was sold unless
he had been warned beforehand. He
could see boxes of assorted sizes in
rows against the wall, and he would
probably think the peop in Dakota
were buying figs. If he did he would
probably wonder what occaSioned the
demand. He probably would not hear
the words beer or whisky mentioned
He would see a man dressed in ordi-
nary, everyday business suit taking Or
ders, with possibly couple of men to
help him when there was rush. Then
there would be a conversation some
thing after this fashion:
81 want package"
Cali right. How many?"
"Three."
"Have it wrapped up?'
"NO, Pll just take it along"
GAIL right, sir; rs cents. please"
And if the customer had wanted one
in package or four in a package he
would have gotten it in the same way.
What is more, he could have bought his
beer almost as cheap as in st. Paul
and of just as good a quality.
There is only IS cents additional

are known to him, and he can entertain
in the inns public room the villagers
for hours by the simple narration OF
events. He is, or ought to be, man OF
wit and humor, and the country folks
are simply charmed into sitting up for
hours after their ordinary bedtime by
his anecdotes and "reminiscences. 1t IS
not strange that in such localities the
peddler often makes quick sales, but
the danger and hardships which he has
to face entitle him to every cent OF MS
money.

consisting of bracelets, earrings, scarf
pins, collar buttons, finger rings. watch
chains and keys. With the simple
mountaineers all is gold that glitters.
Nobody is more keenly aware OF this
fact than the shrewd peddler. Few
men are more independent than the
peddler, and few are entitled to more
respect. Generally he is treated with
all respect, for he pays as he goes. The
simple duty of carrying heavy pack
upon his shoulders is in itself a severe
task. but that is one of the lightest of
the peddler's difficulties.
1t is not seldom that peddler alights
from train In village where every
man is stranger to him, in which there
is nothing like an inn or a hotel, with
night coming on. The veteran ped
dler is prepared for such an emergency,
and knows how to deal with the hard
ships which such situation implies.
He will find shelter somewhere if only
in an empty wagon.
Like the letter-carrier his anxiety is
not for himself bat for the burden
which he carries. His pack and its con-
tents must be protected from rain, no
matter how thoroughly drenched with
the rain he may De nlInSelI. During
the forenoon and afternoon he tolls
along some country road, ankle deep in
mud, without knowing where he is to
spend the night. When he approaches
an isolated farmers house the dogs see
himl first, and the children next inspect
him and give the alarm to their mother.
When his business is once known he is
considered welcome visitor, but it is
not strange that many children re-
gard him with terror, for there are
Still any number of people who
terrify children into obedience by tell
ing them that they will be given to the

the impression is made that to be given

The Minnesota Boat club minstrel
performance Saturday evening next
promises to be marked success. The
boxes have all been sold to prominent
people and the sale of tickets by men,
bers the club has been so large as to in
sure a full house. The performance it
self has many attractive features. The
first part is made up of fine songs,
choruses, etc., and the twenty-five
voices, aided by Danz' orchestra, will
produce a volume of minstrel music
never before heard IN st, Paul. The
second part contains the cream of spe-
cialties to be found and closes with an
amusing burlesque, entitled The Gladi-
ators," calculated to make even
wooden Indian laugh. The manage
ment will see that the theater is cool.
and, being minstrel entertainment,
seats in the back of the theater will be
just as preferable as any; in fact, the
gallery seats will be used on this Occa-
sion for the same class of people as will
sit in the body of the theater. The cur
tain will rise at S:15 sharp and the per-
formance close about 10 o'clock. Re-
served seats can be procured tomorrow
at.9 a. m. at Newmarket theater and

there have been no more arrests made
