oughfare, in shop and store, wherever
he goes, he 'scatters the sunshine" his
motto has ever been: Bear we one an
others burdens;" he is always ready to
resent wrong and defend right
These facts being true, is it not well
for US to consider our obligations to
him?
When he enters your store and poll
tely introduces himself and his BUSH
ness, what right have you to greet him
with frown and snarl? You may not
want his goods; but his good will is
more precious than gold and of more
value to you than rubies. 1t would con-
sumo but few moments of your time
to exchange the compliments of the day
and at the same time Z.change smiles
and kind words with the man, who IS
not for the great stock of this commod-
ity he always carries.
The time may come when you will
want his goods and his credit, and the
time will surely come when you will
need his friendship.
Let me admonish you, my friendly
merchant, your kindly treatment of ira
Yelling men is dollars in your pocket;
better that you had never been born
than to incur the illwill of the men who
would be your best friends if you would
only permit them to be such.
A travelling man entered a store in
Texas, and after introducing himself,
was informed by the uncouth old mer-
chant, that his time was too valuable to
talk to him. The drummer replied,
what is your time worth by the hour?"
The merchant, with an egotistic air,
said, "about three dollars an hour"
Very WE'LL said the drummer, Il want
just fifteen cents WORTH" and then pro-
ceeded to use the time to the best ad-
vantage. Il don't want to show you
my goods" said the drummer, "but for
the benefit Of my fellow travelling
friends who shall come after me, l want
to inform you that while we are only
drummers, we have hearts that can feel,
and we appreciate = kindly word as we
despise an ungenerous vet. Our bur3
dens are sometimes heavy, and your
treatment makes them tenfold greater.
I am pleased to inform you that we not
only represent our house, but we repre-
sent a home as sacred and dear to our
hearts as yours; and while Iou enjoy
the pleasures Of home each day, it is

1T is only a mechanic" true enough,

remember the man who never made
mistake, never made anything. Let us,
therefore, encourage these young men
to be noble and grand. When our coun

these beardless youths were the first to
respond to the call, and at the sacrifice
of blood and life they are determined to
plant the stars and stripes on the sum-
nit of MORO Castle.

Address Delivered by Homer T. Wilson,
National Chaplain T. +. A. of A National
Convention at Omaha, Nebraska.
The most perfect life, like the fairest
flower, has some defects. The joys Of
childhood drift into the pleasures CT
manhood, and young manhood to old
age, with a shadow at times family per
ceptible, but always great enough to
temper the glare of life's sunshine.
1t has been most fittingly said: 1--WE
but catch at the skirt of the thing we
would be and fall back on the lap of a
false destiny" and in our endless
reach for happiness, we are like the
little child that chases the golden sun
beam. In the life Of travelling man
the shadows oftimes Outnumber the
sunbeamS, and even the roses of hap
piness bear singing thorns CT separa
ton and loneliness
Every profession and business has
now and then days CT depression and
disappointment; from bitter expert
ence we have learned this lesson, and
time and circumstances have reconciied
US to the inevitable.
There are burdens that are necessary,
y
and cruel; the former we are willing
to bear, because they are part Of life;
the latter are imposed upon us by
others, who, whether for want of con-
sideration or pleasure in the imposi-
ton, never fell to increase the weight
and darken the shadow about our path.
A guard Of Napoleon once ordered an
old man, who carried a heavy burden.
to get cut CT the way as the emperor
approached. The great general re-
buked him sharply and said: IF you
have no respect for the man, then you
should respect the burden he bears"
Let us be careful to make others happy,
and in SO doing our reward will be
great.
1T is only a newsboy" that cries "the
lssast news" but be careful as you
pass, treat him kindly, for he is some
mothers boy; and in the oncoming
years, listening senates may yield to
the magic of his power and the world
may call him blessed.
1T is only young lady that clerks
in your store or manipulates the type
writer; and while performing these i'm
portant duties her delicate, sensitive ma
ture is stung by criticism or an I'M
kind insinuation, and the binding tears
unbidden flow, while the heart feels
more deeply than the lips can speak;
al the graces of true woman are CEN
tered in her; crown Of glory rests
upon her brow, and her robe of righte-
BUSINESS is as unspotted as the driven
snow Walk before her as prince
and treat her as a queen.
'It is only sewing woman" but,
how sad the story she would tell of
bitter want and unuttered grief. From

only now and then we hear the loving
words of welcome from patient, sacri-
ficing wife, and listen to the prattling
tongues of our little ones. If you have
no respect for us, then you should re-
spect the burdens we bear, and in fu-
ture try to treat the travelling men as
gentlemen"
Drummers are not travelling for their
health. Conditions of commerce have
made it necessary for men to travel;
and 1t is as great convenience to the
buyer as to the seller. Good buying is
a greater element in business than good
selling. The old snarl who snubs the
drummer, would discharge a clerk for
similar treatment to customer.
Kind words are the essential Of hap
piness 1t would take but few mo-
ments to weave these golden threads
into the warp and wool of business and
make others happy. If this rule is
strictly observed, the profits will be
greater both in business and pleasure
A celebrated judge Of the Supreme
Court of Texas recently wrote me con-
corning a sermon | had preached, and
the following extract is a true picture
of a certain class we meet in business,
and also shows tae distinguished jur-
lists opinion of the value Of kind
words:
Il want to tell you that you are
right and l love you for it. l want you
to tell me Of my good acts here and
now, and thus encourage men and make
me think better of myself for doing
good, and you may leave off few feet
from the top of my monument when I
am gone. 1t is so sweet to feel and
know that one is appreciated, espec-
tally by the good men and women who
know him. ] know men, who, if they
were birds, would be buzzards; if they
were beasts, they would be jackals and
hyenas; and if they were creeping
things, they would be maggots. They
live and thrive in the slime and putre
faction OF SANDER and evil words and
evil thoughts. and they are strangers
TO tie delights Of doing generous act
or speaking a kindly word. And
sometimes feel regret that | do not
believe in an orthodox hell. to which
such men might be condemned even
before they die. Yet l have practiced
