The Representative Merchant" was
the next toast, and was most happily
responded to by L. NJ. Bartlett in a capt.

/ fallen into hogshead of mOlasses, nor
did he forget to tell of his own experience
when another Traveller came along with
free samples OF chewing tobacco and the
delightful time he had with his first land
last chew. His ideas of manhood had
since then undergone a radical change,
/ but the favorable ideas and impressions
conceived in his early days for the CONNER
cial travellers still existed. The speaker
just pleased the boys, and they demon
strated their hearty approval.

ergy of the commercial travellers OF this
country.

no one has undertaken to analyze the gift,
