Tribute to travelling Men.

Chicago Post.
We venture to hope that none of our
readers has failed to note and admire and
to profit by Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox s
beautiful poem, THE Travelling Man now
making the rounds of the press. We mean
the poem beginning thus:
First in the crowded car is he to offer
This travelling man, unhonored and I'M
The seat he paid for to some woman
Or old and wrinkled; first is he to prefer
Something, a trifie from his samples.
To please the fancy of a crying baby"
The lady further relates that the travel
ing does not stop with these little
civil attentions, but goes on raising WIN
ddows, dropping curtains, bolstering up ba-
frowns," and, rRusying himself in a thou
sand ways to relieve the afflicted. the sad
and the weary. And she concludes:
~ do nat strive to cast a halo round him.
But speak of him precisely as l found him. -
We believe that Mrs. Wilcox has sung
not only tunefully, but correctly. Our OBJ
servation of travelling men bears out her
conclusions, and we have been. told by
women that they have never found the
commercial traveller lacking in assiduouS
attentions. We congratulate the guild on
its poet and we hope these lively verses
will be set to appropriate music. 1t does
not detract from the interest of the poem
to remember that Mrs. Wilcox, Miss
Ella Wheeler, married travelling man.
and when she says that she speaks of him
precisely l found him. the plain infer
ence is that she is describing her husband,
which, while it would not be exactly deli
cate in some people. is most commendable
in poet. We confess that we are tired of
Petrarch and his Laura, Dante and his
Beatrice. Swift and his Stella, Horace and
his Pyrrha, and we welcome joyfuly the
relief of Ella and her Wilcox. For this and
for other potential reasons we applaud the
poem as published, and commend it to the
public as a splendid example of eulogistic
conjugal verse.

PEACE MAY BE RESTORED.
Union Pacific and Oregon ShOrt-Line
May Work I'm Harmony.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2S-There is strong
probability that the row between the Union
Pacific and the Oregon Short-line will be
settled finally 1t was the general opinion
of all the Western roads that the matter
had been settled for good but some days
since, when they attempted to take some
action based on this presumption, it was
announced by the Union Pacific that the
settlement Of the troubles between it and
the Oregon Short-lne did not ex-
tend to business through. the Ore
gon gateway and only applied to
traffic going west via Granger.
This was an eye-opener to the Western
roads and they set out to learn just what
the trouble was, and asked the Union Pa
cific if one of its officials could not come
to Chicago for the purpose of meeting the
other roads and make an effort to adjust
the trouble. A prompt reply was to-day re-
ceived from General Passenger Agent Lo-
max, of the Union Pacific. saying that he
would be here in the early part of next
week and would be prepared TO settle the
trouble between the Union Pacific and the
Oregon Short-line if some matters in which
the Union Pacific is interested are given
attention by the other Western roads
promise was made that the other matters
would receive the attention asked for by
Mr.. Isomax, and IL is now the opinion of all
the Western lines that a the meeting to be
held next week all the troubles which have
caused so much decentralization during the
last three months are at last in a good
way TO be finally disposed of.
Announcement was to-day made by the
Burlington road of lis intention TO continue
the running of harvest excursions to points
in the West, Northwest and Southwest dur
ing the remainder of the year. The rate
Tor these excursions will be one fare for the
round trip, plus 50. They will be run Nov
2 and 16 and Dec. and 81

The zeal shown by thousands of people
during the past season in looking for bar

nature. When a man purchases a road

his first precauton. as rule, is to satisfy
himself as to it's structural merits, its
strength and its wearing qualities. Natural

Tailor Gowns.
Harner's Bazaar


Two distinctive styles in tailor gowns are
to be seen this season, the elaborate and the
severely plain. The severely plain are made
of either smooth faced or Vicuna cloth. OF
course, there are any number of different
materials which are fashionable we'll
but these are the very SInarteSt. There are
many different colorS, but black is the best.
A faced-clOth costume has the neW-shaped
skirt with the ruffle stitched on the waist,
or rather jacket, medium length basque
coat, which opens over a waistcoat of
mouse-colored velvet embroidered in gold.
The fronts of the coat are faced with white
satin, and SO made that they can be turned
back or buttoned over, as desired; and the
buttons are small gilt ones which fasten
into loops of black braid. The entire coat
is covered with braid of different widths;
the sleeves are very small; have deep let-in
points of velvet outlined with braid and
fiarng cuff of velvet. This coat can be
worn over a silk or satin waist and is so
interlined that it is quite warm enough to
wear in the coolest weather. Another black
costume is of rough vicuna cloth; this is
trimmed with black braid, put on in five
rows down the front and then turned off at
either side at the foot of the skirt, extend
ing round the entire width The coat for
this is one of the Russian blouses, with an
inside vest, on which are lines of braid
and this hangs over in blouse fashion.
There is no braiding on the coat, but the
sleeves, which are small coat sleeves, have
pointed cuffs of braid. The fronts of the
Jackets lined with reseda-green velvet.

What Is Advertising.
Hardware.

hardware.
Ask hundred men, what is advertis-
ing?" and ninety-nine of them will say
that advertising is-advertising.
Advertising, as l see it, is the announce
ment Of anything by any medium of pre-
sentation
Advertising is a commodity-as much so
as dry goods, shoes or flour
Advertising is one Of the five links in the
chain of business
The advertising that does not pay is al
most always the advertising that has not
been given chance to pay.
The average user of advertising writes
the advertisement with a blunt pencil upon
a pad of paper upon his knee, or quickly
scribbles off his name and address-and
something else-upon pad on his desk.
He pays good money for advertising
space.
He fills that expensive space with the
careless thought of minute
1t is estimated that the world spends
two thousand millions of dollars year on
advertising.
An intelligent estimate has not been able
to assume that this same business world
pays out more than one two-thousandth of
this total expenditure for the preparation
of its advertising matter.
If advertising is worth anything-and ev
cry successful business man says that it
is-then some care should be given 10 its
preparation, just as much as TO the man
agement of any other part of business.

DEAR BREAD IN FRANCE.
Reduction of Duty on Wheat Opposed
by the Ministry.

PARIS. Oct. 23.-In the Chamber Of Dep
uties to-day, M. Gerault Richard. Social
ist raised a discussion on the price OF
bread He said the increase of price was
due to shameless SPECTATORS and that
only the big agriculturists protited by it.
Continuing, the deputy charged the govern
nient with being famine ministry" This
caused violent protests from the supporters
of the government. Another deputy, M
Folleville, asked that the proceeds of the
customs duty on wheat be employed to
bring about a reduction in the price of
bread. Further, M. Folleville demanded
that the government take immediate meas
ures against monopolists.
NJ Meline, the premier, said there was no
ground to reduce the customs duty on
wheat, as the price of bread did not justify
it, The reduction of duties in 1891, he con-
tinuets,-aad a disastrous effect, foreign
grain overwhelming the French market.
The present price of Bread added the
premier, was not likely to rise, but, on the
contrary, would fall before long because
the harvests Of all countries would be
thrown upon the markets in January. Re
ferring to the Socialists proposal that the
government should purchase the foreign
wheat supply of the people, NJ. Meline said
this would compel the government to pay
heavy prices, as America would ask 80
francs for what the people now are paying
% francs. As for the So-called capitalist
conspiracy to starve the people, the premier
said the sun was the sole conspirator, as
the whole of Europe was suffering from
the same crisis. The government, how
ever, would inquire into the truth of the
charges made against grain spectators,
and would prosecute any culprits, though
not one of the charges made had as yet
been suhstantiated. The premier concluded
by declaring that if the Socialists devoted
their energy to organizing instead of de-
molishing the bread question would not ex-
list. loud cheers.)

closed, and the vote of confidence in the
government was adopted 1893 voting for

REVOLUTIONARY TAVERN.
1t Was $50 Years Old, and Sheltered
Washington, Adams and Monroe.
RanThlicau

The old building on Court street, known
the Parsons tavern. which is celebrated
as the hostilery where George Washington
stopped at least once in passing through
Springfield, is now being torn down to
make room for modern tenement block.
1t was probably the second oldest building
in town. and has been used for tenement
house of late years.
The building was one of the taverns of
revolutionary days. and was about $50 years
old 1t stood. when built, on the southeast
corner of the present Court square, just
across from where the Chlcopee Bank now
is. 1t was a large structure for those days,
three stories in front with a short roof
sloping forward from the ridge pole and a
long meandering roof slipping to the rear
story Just before the sheds and Is be-
gan. BY whom it was built it not matter
however. Great hand-hewn timbers formed
the framework and were joined by wooden
pegs. Every nail, hinge, brace or other
bit of ironwork was hand-forged All the
woodwork that was meant to show was
fluted, chisseled or nodded. Even the mar
row cIabboards had nodded edge and
sturdy sides or any part of the exterior of
the old house to any extent, and the shay
gy, weather-worn appearance which re-
suited added much to the attractiveness of
The present site of Court square was al
ways the center Of attraction for the town.
There were the church. the courthouse
the whipping post and most of the trading
shops. Auctions were held there, and on

Parsons tavern, where the young men
would try wrestling. Consequently the tav.
ern was always a rendezvous and a place
where gossip dwelt in company with flip
irons and teddy. 1t appears that Zenas
Parsons was the first host and from him
the tavern took it's name 1t was while he
was landlord that on Oct. q, 1889 Wash
ipgton spent the night in the tavern while
On visit to New England. The great man
slept in the second story front room to the
right as one climbed the stairs. The record
in his diary reads: col. Worthington, Col
Williams. Adjt-Gen. of the State of Mas
sachusetts; Gen. Shepard. Mr.. Lyman. and
many other gentlemen sat an hour or two
with me at Parsons's tavern, where
lodged and which Is a good house." From
which it would seem that General Wash
ington was pleased with his entertainment
Even before Washington came the tavern
had had a distinguished transient. When
John Adams returned from the sessions of
Congress in Philadelphia, in November, 1775,
he dined with Landlord Parsons and Capt.
Pynchon. Mr. Bliss and Col. Worthington
visited him. What other famous guests Mr..
Parsons had is untold. He died as the CEN
fury went out, and Eleazer Williams, slow
and dignihed, succeeded him. Later on,
when James Monroe, as President. came to
Springfield, he was cared for by Landlord
John Bennett.
