ALL ARE DRUMMERS.

In a recent address 10 the drum
mers, Ex-Governor Bob Taylor
said:
at is said that birds of a feath-
er flock together. AM glad to
be once more able to put on the
plumage of a travelling man. and
to flock with the commercial
nightingales again. What am |
but a drummer? You sing in
your line of things to eat and
things to wear; l sing Of stuff
that dreams are made Of You
sell soap; I peddle sentiment
You deal in dry goods; | deal in
notions, but sometimes my goods
are dry. You carry hardware; |
use a few augurs in my trade.
You worry the flesh; | cruelty
the spirit. Your wares are of
the earth, earthy;' mine are OF
the wind, windy.
81 once heard a man sneer at
the drummers, and | said to him:
Sir, what are we all, in every
profession and vocation Of life,
but drummers? The politician
drums for votes with the drum
stick of the American eagle; the
preacher drums for souls with hal
lelujahs and the beautiful story OF
love; the farmer drums the earth
and his lazy mule for bread; the
lawyer lrums the jury for his fee;
the doctor drums for health; the
railroad drums for passengers;
the hotel drums for guests; the
lecturer drums Just for fun and
the devil drums for us all. The
best drummer is the preacher; the
best dressed drummer is the
drummer, and the bes5-looking
drummer is the lecturer.
"There is another class OF
drummers which | was about to
forget; they are the editors who
drum for hides and scalps. | am
especially indebted to this pecu-
liar class of drummers for my
bald head, but-thank the Lord
| still have some of my hide left:
and yet, when I leave the field of
politics and come out on the road
with the sure-enough drummers,
the editors always drum for me
and fill my life with happiness
until | forget my political wounds
and love the quill driver STILL"

STORIES OF THE IRISH.

An Irishman, in order to cele-
brate the advent of a new era,
went out on a little lark.
He didn't get home till 3o'clock
in the morning, and was barely
in the house before a nurse
rushed up to him and uncovering
a bunch of soft goods, showed
him triplets,
The Irishman looked up az the
clock, which marked the 'aour OF
8, then at the three of a kind in
the nurses arms, and said:
Oi'm not superstitous, but
thank hiyens that Oh didn't come
home at 12!
An old Irish lady thought she
would like to know what the
probable expense Of her funeral
would be, as she desired to ar
range for it, and thus save al
trouble to her heirs.
The old lady, who suffered,
sent for Mr.. Blank, the under
taker, and said to him: Mr..
Blank, what would you charge
for q funeral? | don't w-w-want
and all s-s-s-sort Of grand thing,
but a nice, plain hearse, without
any n-n-n-n-nonsense.
Ten pounds, replied the funeral
furnisher.
Ten pounds! said the old lady
Th-t thank you, I'd rather walk.
While on q visit to a mining
| town, which boasts Of no pro-
fessional barber a gentleman hac
perfored to submit his noble coun'
tenance to the tender and amateur
mercies Of an Irishman from Corl
by the name Of O'Brien,
Az the tears rolled down hiI
checks and the skin and hail

tured to ask in meant-to
sarcastic way.

BOYS SEE THE POINT.

There are several thousand
boys and hundreds Of men en-
gagged in st. Louis in a business
which brings weekly profit OF
from $4,000 to $4,000. It's the
selling of daily papers. Hun
dreds of families live comfortably
on the profits of the sale Of daily
newspapers.
In ST. Louis the fayorite news
paper with the boys is the Post
Dispatch, because it sells best.
An Investigation has shown that
the boys sell more copies Of the
daily Post-Dispatch than the
combined sales Of the two other
English evening papers.
One of the pleasures the boys
find in selling papers is they are
their "own boss" They come
and 60 when they please. While
many have regular corners and
newstands, others merely walk
the streets each having his own
peculiar way Of "crying' out his
papers.
The situation is quite differen
on Sunday. The papers are
printed in the morning and by
six o'clock the boys and men are
out in search of buyers.
There are four English Sunday
papers. Many boys take out 300
papers. A boy taking from two
to three hundred papers has all
he can do to get over the ground.
Sundays as on week days finds
the Post Dispatch everywhere.
It's a ready seller. It's the
"most for the money" The
Sunday Post Dispatch has many
original and exclusive features,
including the Colored Comic
Weekly.
These great newspaper offices
have what is called a "Circulat-
ion Department." the object OF
which is TO promote the sale Of
the papers. This department
answers all requests for sample
copies (which are sent free), and
so on. In the country as in st,
Louis, they are constantly look
ing for agents (boys or men to
represent them). This is done by
the aid of travelling men and
correspondence. All letters are
promptly answered, 1t is pleas
ant work, especially in tho towns
outside Of ST. Louis. Boys in
Boys in the outside towns are not
called newsboys, but agents.
More noney is made outside Of
ST. Louis because the selling
price is more and the profit great

SOLVED THE WATER QUESTION.

Mr.. F. B. Jones, of Dallas, tht
W Il know vice-presideht ant
general manager Of the Southern
Rock Island Plow Company, tells
how the water question has beer
solved at Bellville. This is the
way Mr.. Jones tells it: GA party
of US were coming down from St
Louis on the Frisco. In the party
was a gentleman from Bellville,
whose name | have forgotten.
We were telling stories of advent
ure and experience and when il
came the turn OF our friend from
'BeIlville he told US how the farm
ers around that town had secured
a perpetual water supply. He
said that several years ago, in a
very dry season, he was spending
the day with farmer friend when
a tramp came along and asked for
a drink of water. The farmer told
him they had no water except
some in a tank for the stock, but
he was welcome to a glass Of but
ter milk if he wanted it. The
tramp asked if they had q we'll.
The farmer said they had but it
had gone dry. The tramp said
he would guarantee to have water
in that well in twenty-four hours
if it had ever had any water in it
before. The farmer asked him
to dinner on the promise from the
tramp that he would begin the
water producing feat early in the
afternoon. Soon after dinner the
tramp got a few pieces of bacon
nd and went to the tank where
the stock water was kept, He
caught a few 'crawfish' and asked
for three buckets of water. Then
he went to the dry well, poured
in the water and dropped in the
crawfish. They all thought he
was working them, but he told
them to wait till morning and see
My friend from Bellville bad
watched the tramp's performance
with considerable curiosity and
he decided to stay over night and
see how it was going to pan out.
In the morning they all went out
to the we'll and sure enough there
was from three to four feet of
water in it. Then they asked the
tramp how it was done. He said
it was simple enough, that when
YOU put a crawfish in a place that
he would bore to water. My
friend said that we'll has water in
it to thiB day, and has never gone
dry. He said the experimenthad
been tried in numbers Of iustan-
ces in that section and had never
been known to fail. The more |
have thought of it, the more prac.
tical the thing appears to me.
The crawfish is natures we'll dig
ger. Every boy remembers
watching them dig and knows
that they always strike water.
They have got to do it, They
cannot live without water. The
result Of the tramp's experiment,
as l learned from inquiry, was
that he got a job with the farmer
and remained there a year or so.
1t seems to me that the solution Of
dry wells has been discovered.
All you need are three or four
buckets Of water and q few craw-
fish. ."-Texas Farm and Ranch.
