Of a desire to be Bohemian. It's a frame OF

BACK TO HIS OLD LINE.
The Discourasing Experience Of . Canvs sser
With . Book on Dogs.
From TIE Detroit Free Press.


I've gone back to my first love. the great
Celebrated Compendium Of Universal Knowl-
edge bound In calf and sold at a price within
the reach Of all" said the book agent with a
sigh. The other day the head member Of
the firm that I am proud to represent called
me into his private Office and showed me q
book on dogs, telling how TO take care OF them.
what to feed. what to do for the mango. how
to tell a mastif from a pug. how to handle n
mad dog-in fact, It was a regular dog epoy-
clopedia, bound in cloth and sold at q popular
price.
The moment I set eyes on that book I saw
great possibilities In It. ] knew from bitter
experience that nearly every one kept a dog.
and no matter what kind Of q cross-eyed pWp
it might be the owner couldn' be convinced
that his own particular dog wasn't the finest
dog on earth. l made up my mind that there
was a fortune In the sale Of that book. and I
secured the exclusive right to this city before
l left the Office. Cautioning the head member
Of the firm to keep the presses going, so there
would be no possible chance for a shortage, I
started out to place tho great work before the
public. The first house that I struck my hopes
received a sudden chill;

10 do, and l did il. l made for a tree that was
near and managed TO gel. out of the way before

the door, and after calmly looking the situa-
tion over. asked what ! wanted

that he went inside and shut the door.
For two mortal hours that miseT able cur
sat under the tree and licked his chops. Then
the owner came TO the door again and said 1t
was time that Tige had his dinner and that |
could finish explaining the book 10 him after
he got through, II he hadn't called that dog
dinner right under the tree. and TIP firm would
have been short one book agent. rs far a. I am
concerned. every cussed dog In this city may

W don't give presents over here unless they

This doesn't happen to BE- true. but It Is an
echo Of the refrain about handmade work.
Another tradition Is ths idea that Americans
rush more madly about Europe than people OF
other nationalitles do. Perhaps they did 30 in
the early days Of transatlantic travel. but at
present one sees more dawdllng by Americans
than by any other class Of tourists. The Ger
mans are the most industrious. They ara up
with the dawn and before 10 A. NJ. have seen
what an American would call a days grist OF

thousands Of Germans who devoted all their
ponderous Teutonic vitality to consclentiously
visiting everything the guidebook mentioned.
They seemed to be always In Q hurry at the
really critical moments that Is. when they had
caught UP with q sight they gave It a mere
glance and set OF In pursuit OF another one.
That seems to be the difference between
the American and the European travellers.
The Europeans spend q good deal OF time In

The rise Of the sunbonnet as an article Of

and had been In use for scores Of years. e.
pecially the old~-fashioned Quaker Bingham
bonnet. Each community furnished It's wi
supply-every woman made her own bonnet.
II had not occurred to any one that there
would be profit In making them by the dozen,
or hundreds Of dozens. But that thought came
to Mrs. NJ. l.. Roberts OF West Indianapolis.
A sunbonnet that Mrs, Roberts made for

Of the large barn was remodelled and fitted Up
with sewing machines. cutting tables. &c.
but there was no catching up with orders.
The large customers seeing that the demand
could not be supplied In this way. started to
manufacture their own sunbonnets. SUM-
bonnets were not patented. and there was moth
ing 10 prohibit anybody from making even
Mrs, Roberts's pattern OF them.
As one large factory after another was started
with unlimited capital behind 1t, Mrs. Roberts
saw that II was useless to try TO compete IN
the making Of the popular cheap bonnet. and
Immediately set to work TO manufacture tho
better and more expensive kinds and began
the making Of sun hats. Competition was
headed Oh this time BY the securing OF 2 patent
in a simple device which enabled the hat and
bonnet to be taken apart to be washed and b
easily put together again and appear ~ new.
