Breaking Up the Drummer's Business.
An innovation which is spreading
alarm among travelling men is the ease
with which business men may secure
passes from railroads. A business man
goes to railway manager and announces
that he is thinking of visiting the eastern
market. Although nothing may be said
about it the railway magnate takes it
for granted that his caller will order his
goods shipped over the line granting the
pass. Pasteboards are accordingly is
sued, not only for the merchant, but for
his entire family and one or two cousins
and aunts thrown in. The practice has
grown to such an extent that railway
men tell me it is becoming serious
question for the management to decide
where to draw the line
The merchant goes east and makes his
selection of goods instead of patroniz-
ing the man who is on the road. The
railways have thus stepped in and inter-
fered to large extent with the business
of the commercial traveller. As the
passes are issued as often as asked for,
the larger buyers are getting farther
and farther away from the drummer.
For this reason younger and less ex-
perienced men are sent out at a compar-
atively small expense to the house.-In-
terview in Denver News.

Adobe Houses.

The adobe houses of Arizona and New
Mexico are not built from ignorance,
but from a regard to comfort. They
are, for that climate, the warmest in
winter and in summer the coolest that
can be constructed. The adobe is only
mud made of the loamy clay; the bricks
are about sixteen inches long by nine or
ten in width and eight in thickness.
They are sun dried, and after the house
is begun and the walls are reared to O
height of two or three feet they are left
for week in order to dry, the process
of building and waiting continuing till
the house is constructed
Then the walls are plastered within,
the roof put on, and the house left for
two or three weeks before the occupants
move in. The small cost and little
trouble with which an adobe house can
be built, together with it's superior COM
fort, render it the favorite structure in
tropical North America, and long time
will elapse before it is superseded either
by wood, brick or stone.-Interview in
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

wretched Roads and Unfavorable Con-
ditiOns.
CHICAGO, May 19.-Bicyclists carrying
General Miles's message to New York
in relays made good showing on the
first part of the trip, despite the bad
weather and muddy roads. They were
composed of crack riders from various
Chicago cycling clubs, and carried the
documents through to South Bend, In
diana, half an hour ahead OF the sched-
ule. Thereafter, however, the condi-
tions grew even worse, and time was
lost. -t
TOLEDO, May 19.-F. H. Tuttle, bicyc-
Ter, bearing General Miles's dispatch,
came in on foot at IL O'Clock this morn
ing, five hours late, completely ex-
hausted. He travelled through mud six
inches to foot deep and broke his
pedal. Bollmeyer took up the journey
to Wauzen along the railroad, as the
wagon roads are utterly impossible.
FREMONT, O., May 19.-Vandyke and
Parker, the relay bicycle riders, arrived
at 9:27 tonight, having left Woodville,
sixteen miles west, at 1926. Steadler
and Vantyne started Immediately, but
Steadler soon wrecked his wheel, and
Vantyne went on alone. Norwalk,
twenty-eight miles east, is the next sta
tion. The roads are in awful condition.

California Horses Very Backward ON

CHICAGO, May 19.--Not horse stabbed
at Garfield park has been able to do any
work for the last month, in consequence
of the track being out OF condition, and

unless the track dries out in very few
days. Californians recently arrived in
fair racing condition, have become
stable-stale for want of vigorous exer-

expressed over the announcement that
"White Hat" McCarty's colt Bernardo

phantic sense of the term, whether Of
the crown, the mob or the house of com
mons. George w could not endure
him. In the controversy with the crown
which led to his dismissal from the for

both in form and substance, as it was
possible for a minister of the crown to
be. In the house of commons he occa-
sionally mistook bluster and swagger
for genial playfulness. But on the
whole he was marked throughout his

POET RILeVs FIRST LECTURE.

Compelled to Print His Own Posters and
to Admit the Audience Free.
Games Whitcomb Riley never will
forget his first experience as platform
lecturer" remarked an old Hoosier at the
Grand Pacific the other day. 1T was a
good many years ago. Jimmy was eking
out an existence as a painter at that
time, and when times were dull and he
was out of job he spent his leisure mo-
ments in stringing together verses. Some
of these were so good, in his own esti-
nation at least, that he sometimes re-
cited them at little gatherings about the
neighborhood.
"But, unknown even to his friends,
the embryo poet had rather lofty aspira-
tions and burned to launch out as pub
lie entertainer. So he began quietly
casting for an eligible opportunity to
try it on the dog
"He was poor then--poor is no name
for it. In fact, he was generally in
debt, and though he worked hard never
seemed to have any money or fair pros
pect of getting any. 1t will readily be
seen that it was not an easy matter for
Riley to realize his hopes under such
circumstances. At last, however, he
raised little money on job Of paint
ing and with it invaded a neighboring
hamlet, where his fame had not preceded
him.
"After considerable red tape he Sc
cured the privilege of using the school
house for his entertainment. In fact,
the school house was the only available
place in the village for such gathering
Then he hung up a lot of posters an
nouncing that James Whitcomb Riley,
the Hoosier poet, would give one of his
unique and inimitable entertainments at
the Hamtown school house on the fol-
lowing Saturday night. These posters
were blank paper, decorated with char
coal instead of printers ink, and Riley
spent one whole day in printing them.
"At the last moment, however, a per-
feet deluge of cold water was thrown
over the young poets aspirations by an
unexpected announcement from the
Hamtown school board. On the after
noon of the eventful day the president
Of the board waited on Riley, who was
nervously pacing his room at the little
excuse for hotel, and informed him
that by an agreement entered into when
the school building was erected no en-
tertainments were to be given in it un.
less they were Of public character.
"'But mine is to be public enter
tainment,' insisted Mr.. Riley.
"'Oh, no, it isn't asserted the tow1
dignitary. You are going to charge al
sadmission fee. That doesn't look like
public affair-does itT
"'It isn't free entertainment, to b,
sure; but it is certainly to be public,
maintained the poet.
Not as we understand the term,
said the official. In short, the only
way you can go on with the show is te
throw the doors OPEN
"Here was a pretty state of affairs
but the question must be settled at once
and Riley promptly accepted the horr
of the dilemma nearest him, and sale

Plenty of Water Necessary TO Heal

AS the waste in animal food in those
who lead indolent lives is carried off by
the kidneys, it is very desirable that
they should be kept we'll flushed with
plenty of water, for pure water is to the
kidneys what fresh air is to the lungs
and taken in the early morning, prefer
ably as hot as it can be slipped, it washes
away the unhealthy secretions thath
accumulated in the stomach during the
night. and stimulates it to healthy ac-
ton, and then, passing on through the
system till it reaches the kidneys, carries
away by their aid the uric acid, gout poi
son and other impurities that should
have no fixed habitation in the body at
all, and would not have if the sufferer
were properly dieted for even two or
three weeks each year.-Gentleman's

A pitchers battle.
That was what yesterdays contest
proved to be.
The proud Dukes of Santa Clara bit
the dust, and victory perched on the
banners OF the Angels.
The locals are now in the lead in the
championship race and have set sail for
the pennant. Yesterdays contest was
q gallant one and the spectators saw q
battle royal.
The game was trying on ones nerves
until the last ball was pitched. In fact,
nerve tonic would have sold like hot
cakes in the eighth or ninth innings.
The afternoon was slightly torrid. but
il is what our pitchers have been pray
Roach, the blonde Adonis, was in the
box for Los Angeles. The weather was
to his liking and the local twirler gave
the Dukes a sample of his ability in that
art.
Four insignificant hits were made off
his delivery. He pitched a magnificent
game. and was as effective as a secret
ballot at critical times. Harper pitched
a WOuuCAluiiy kOOA 6oAAO ava OAO vAoAs
ors after the first innings. In eight
innings the heavy sluggers of the local
combination only registered four hits
against him, and they were well dis
tributed. It was q great battle between
two crack pitchers, and the spectators
watched the outcome with bated breath.
The Angels won the game in the first
innings. Wright led off with base hit,
but was forced out at second by Tred-
ways swat.
McCauley followed with a base hit,
and Tredway scored on Hasamaear's
swat which had too much steam for the
good-looking Mr.. Dooley to hang on to.
McCauley scored on Stafford's out in the
second garden, and Hasamaear scored
on Newman's hit. That settled the run
getting as far as Los Angeles was con-
cerned.
The Dukes got in one tally in the
fourth which saved them from a shut
out. Everett led off with a two. bagger,
reached third on wild pitch, and
Tailed on Ebright's timely hit to center
field. Roach wound up the inning by
striking out Denny.
1t was whitewash after whitewash
after this and it appeared harder to get
man to first than to make run on
Wednesday.
The fans did not feel safe until the
third Duke was retired in the ninth.
There was quite buzz of expectancy
when the visitors came up for the ninth.
They have won game after game in this
innining, but the Angels we're in their
element and not q Duke reached the
first bag. Everett was caught out
by Hasamaear. McVey tried Stafford
with high one, which he nothing loath
accepted. Captain Ebright came up
next and excitement reached q fever
when he sent the ball heavenward. It
looked like an over the fence drive, but
it did not have quite enough steam.
Tredway saw the sphere coming, and
when the crowd heard the familiar ''I've
got it," they knew that the game was
safe. Tredway pulled down the flying
sphere, and the game had been won and
lost. The score follows:

How the Boy Knew.

Here is telephone reply which may
or may not have pleased one of the
speakers:
els Mr.. K in?' asked man after
he had "got" the other man-only it was
an Office boy.
''No, he isn't in, Mr.. W." was the
answer in thin but clear voice.
"How do you know it is Mr.. VI"
asked the other, who may have been
pleased to think that he had such good
telephone voice" that even an office
boy could recognize it.
"'Cause you're the one what no one
can ever understand" came back the
prompt reply. New York Tribune.
