From the "Drummer's" Standpoint


A travelling salesman, in conversation
with the writer few days ago, said he
had been catechised, on the train, by
gentleman interested in the special rela-
ton of the travelling man to the hotels.
The colloquy ran about like this:
'Tn your opinion, how large percent
age OF the travelling men drink? ~
"a good many of them drink. But the
number of them who drink to excess is
very small"
Glow many of them, do you think, are
regular patrons of the hotel bar? ~
Every few"
"How many of them would refuse to
stop at a hotel because it did not run a
! barr"
mighty few of them would refuse to
stop at a hotel for that reason"
Then if hotel keeper says he must
sell liquor because the travelling men
want it, he simply makes that an excuse
for keeping the stuff for the local trade p
That's the way it looks to me"

Roosevelts attitude toward the presl
dental nomination in 1904 is being thus
early discussed in Washington, and the
quessers are at work. The correspond
ept of the Boston Transcript claims to
have such a personal knowledge OF the
fact as to enable him to speak with &C
curacv. He insists that President Roose-
welt has never intimated that he would
be a candidate; that his chief aim is to
make his three and a half years in the
White House period OF genuine achieve
ment in the countrys behalf; that he
neither seeks nor refuses denomination;
that he clings to his ideals and will name
the best men for Office, to the best OF
his ability in deciding who are the best,
without regard to whether such course
secures or loses him the nomination in
1904. The president may not satisfy the
tastes and desires Of the so-called poll
ticians" by such a policy, but he will
come very near the popular idea OF ma
tional ecouomy, and, generally speaking,
may safely leave the result to the people
whom he serves.

ONCE IS ENOUGH TO SEE

Gustave Dore's portrait of Dante is worth
seeing-once. But once is enough. Some
such look you notice on the faces of those
who have suffered, and still suffer, much
physical pain; people subject torheumatism,
govt, neuralgia, periodic headache, lumba-
go, or pain from some old lesion. This pain
habit puts its marks on them, as the custom
of handling ropes crooks a sailors fingers !;
or as too much riding of bicycle stamps a
worried expression on certain faces. No

he passed along, "There goes

The strike in Boston reached its climax
last Thursday afternoon, when twenty
thousand men were idle. Of these, nine
teen thousand four hundred were, by
their own confession, without a grievance,
and had quit work and tied up the bus
mess and traffic OF the city, for the sake
of sympathy with six hundred freight
handlers of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford road who had struck rather
than handle freight brought to the de-
pots by non. union drivers employed by
the Brine transportation Company.
The situation was rapidly growing
serious, mercantile transactions were
welLnigh paralyzed, and much inconven'
fence and suffering was sure to ensue.
The more lawless of the strikers had in
dulged in violence towards non-unon
teamsters who ventured to accept posi-
lions left vacant by them. The strike
was so widespread that the delivery OF
lueI ana OLntI uSCSSslllCs VI hlS was 1''llAOoN
impossible; large amounts o perlshable
goods were piled on the wharves and at
the depots, with no immediate prospect
of being forwarded, and it was threaten
ed that if something were not done al
once there would be ninety thousand
men out by Saturday. Something wa'
done, on Thursday evening, at a confer
ence of labor leaders, employers and Gov
ernor Crane at the latter's Office. Gov
Crane pledged his most earnest efforts
the representatives of labor organize
tons, to bring about just settlement
the trouble, provided the strike were a
once called off, work resumed and til
blockade of business raised. This We
, agreed to, and an arbitration commttt
OF seven was appointed to bring about
p settlement on the most just basis pc
, sble. The end in view was the persua
= ing of the New York, New Haven al
d Hartford road to adopt rules in co
formity with those already adopted
the Boston and Maine road regardil
s. the loading and unloading of teams.
'e was expected that most OF the old m
y would be taken back, and that under t
/ new arrangement union men would n
o be compelled to unload the Brine Co
u pany teams driven by nou-union men.

after an imprisoned speech in favor OF
the Boer cause. His socialistic utter

and bis leniency toward the anarchistic
element brought down upon him much
severe criticism He was at Joliet when

oLippincott's for September.

In "a Bit of Human Nature" the
complete novel of the September Lip
pincott's magazine, Mrs. Ellen Olney
Kirk has opened new vein of exquis
ite social humor. She has been known
for pleasant satire in Queen Money
and margaret Kent" but in "a Bit
of Human Nature" She passes from sat-
ire to charming comedy, and there is
not dry line in the novel. 1t relates
the CONSERVATION aroused in family
which has expectations for its spoiled
son. These ire found to be divided
with an unknown girl on the condition
that the two shall marry, OF one re-
fuse the other. She decides to make
him decline, and her diverting efforts
form the delicious humor Of the story.
1t is one which we predict will long
outlast the month Of its issue.

Caution.

This is not gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to
purchase for 10 cents the only remedy
universally known and a remedy that
has had the largest sale of any medi-
cine in the world since 1868 for the
cure and treatment OF consumption
and throat and lung troubles without
losing its great popularity all these
years, you will be thankful we called
your attention to Boschee's German
Syrup. There are so many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists and
others that are cheap and good for
light colds perhaps, but for severe
coughs. bronchitis, croup--and espec-
tally for consumption, where there is
difficult eXpectoration and coughing
during the nights and mornings, there
is nothing like German Syrup. Sold
by all druggists in the civilized world.
