On June 3Oth, 1893, the Supreme Court
enjoined J. H. Zeilin J. Co. from mnnufsct.

the eastern lady, and it happened to be his
good fortune little later in the evening to
have her on his arm promenadng over the
velvety lawn. In the course of the con-
versation Miss Blank asked Mr.. Beatty what
business he followed, and he replied: I'm
a commercial traveller" The visitor, pos
sibly in a moment of mental alteration,
made this remark: "In the east commercial
travellers do not go in the best society,""
Before the last word had hardly left her

that in entirely different channels.-Wichita
