The Trick Of an Astute Drummer.

Travelling statesmen as a class. are a
wide-awake set of men," observed the re
tired drummer. But / think the best L
ever met was old Tom Elwood, who has
long since set out on the trip no travelling
man ever returns from.
"One year Tom, who was then travelling
fora shoe manufacturing concern was sent
to the Pacific coast The trip was a sort
of experiment. the firm being anxious to
introduce an entirely new line of goods in
that part of the country. When Tom
reached his territory he found he was up
against the hardest kind of proposition
Retailers had all the shoes they cared for.
and, in addition some Eastern firms had
loaded up that section of the country
with an inferior lot of goods, and buyers
consequently were especially shy about
trying any new Eastern styles. Tom
couldn't get an order Most men would
have given up about that time, but Tom
simply set his wits to work.
"One morning the local papers came out
with an account of an arrest of a man, a
stranger, on a charge of stealing some of
Tom Elwood's sample shoes. Instead of
mercy. He was a New Yorker. he said,
and had tried in vain to buy pair of that
particular style of shoes. A man who had
once worn that kind would never be con-
tent with any other. He happened to see
Toms samples in the hotel, and actually
felt forced to steal.
1T was decidedly novel case, and
every paper in town ran a long story
about it. At first Tom pretended to be
very stern. He said his shoes were con
tinually being stolen. and he meant to
put stop to it. In the end however he
relented and didn't press the case.
Sell his shoes? Every shoe dealer in
that city bought a full supply, for the
story of the arrest and the prisoners sub
sequent plea made an advertisement
which couldn't have been purchased with
money. 1t was copied in the papers of
other coast towns, and the result was
that Tom Elwood made a record trip.
'Of course the arrest and subsequent
plea of the shoe thief was all a scheme
of the astute Tom. But it was a trick
which no one except Tom Elwood would
have thought of. In these days of trusts
and combines they don't send out the
class of men they did in the old times
when every house was independent of all
the others and fighting with tooth and
nail for the trade" And the retired
drummer sighed pensively as he ordered

AS to the third need of the Isthmus,

not indeed on the part of our Govern

dren to us to be educated. | have heard
from several sources accounts bearing on
this custom. On the other hand, before
the late devastating war, the State had
done a good deal, as ! am told, for the
development of its schools. At present,
no such enterprise as that of the visit
of the Cuban teachers to Harvard would
obviously be even remotely conceivable

peaceful organization, and reasonable

past in keeping the lsthmus degenerate,
even while we use it as our waterway?

be not merely a highway for ships, but a
channel for Clevating influences.

LAKE KEUkA'S MYSTERY.
Big Wall-eyed Pike That Scorn All
Bats and Lures.
New York SUM-

(New York SUM
A mystery which fishermen have for
years been trying to solve is the refusal
of the wall-eyed pike to take lure or bait
of any kind in Lake Keuka one of New
York's best fishing waters, while in every
other water where it has been placed
the SuSquehanna river, where it is known
as salmon; the Delaware, where it is the
pike perch: the streams of western Penn
sylvania, where it is the jack-salmon
and in Oneida lake-it provides enjoyable
sport to anglers.
The wall-eyed pike was placed in Lake
Keuka by the fish commissioners of this
state years ago, and although it is known
t. have thrived and stocked the lake
abundantly, it seems to have undergone a
change of nature. 1t will not bite, save
very rarely.
Last season. Frank Griswold, a local
sportsman, hooked and landed a IA pound
wall-eyed pike in Lake Keuka while test
ing a new artificial lake trout lure of his
invention, and it was believed that a bait
had at last been found that would place
the wall~eyed pike in the list Of fishes to
be angled for in Lake Keuka. Griswold
could not supply the demand for the new
trolls, and anglers were out from one
end of the lake to the other trolling for
pike. But the result did not justify the
hope. The wall-eyed pike Griswold land
ed was the only one killed during the sea-
son.
The theory generally accepted it that
the wall-eyed pike finds such choice and
abundant food in the young of the lake
trout and whitefish of Lake keuka that
it has no taste for meaner morselS and no
inclination to make experiments on
strange offerings. However that may be,
the aggravating fact is that jewellers
along Lake keulla have under their noses
one of the best fishes that swim, and it
refuses absolutely to be caught no mat
ter how readily it's brethren elsewhere
submit to the wiles of the fishermen.

Common Sense Health Maxims.

A physician gives these common sense
health maXimS:
Have no faith in the popular notion that
catarrhs and colds are due to cold
weather. Most often they are the result
of impure air breathed in badly venti-
lated, overheated dwellings. Adirondack
guides, Northern trappers or Klondikc
miners seldom have colds. The inference
is obvious
Pay no attention to the idea that late
suppers are injurious. The most vigorous
and healthiest of natives have eaten their
principal meal at the close of the day s
work Let the brutes. guided unerringly
by instinct, be our teachers. They eat
heartily before going to sleep. In healthy
persons the stomach knows when it has
appetite. 1t has a voice of it's own.
Disregard those who say night air is
poisonous and advise you to shut tight the
windows. The air without is infinitely
nurer than that within. Absence of sun
light does not poison it. else the millions
who pass the night under the stars would
soon perish. But they don't

TREASURES OF THE HERMITAGE
The House in Which Andrew Jackson
Made His Home.

The Hermitage, the old home of Gen.
Andrew Jackson, has, through the efforts
of the Ladies Hermitage Association,
been almost restored to the condition it
was in at the time of the death of Cen a.
jackson. 1856 the State of Tennessee pur-
chased from Andrew Jackson, Jr, for
$4,000 the Hermitage farm which then
consisted of 500 acres of land; and it was
intended to offer it to the United States
Government for branch of West Point
Academy, but the Civil War prevented
the consummation of these plans. In
1889 the State Legislature of Tennessee
conveyed to the Ladies' Hermitage Asso-
cia ton, through a board of trustees, the
house. tomb. all outhouses and twenty
five acres of land to preserve. beautify
and adorn throughout all coming years in
manner most betting the memory of
the great man and commensurate with
the gratitude of his countrymen.
the association has put forth untiring
efforts to raise funds necessary to pur-
chase the furniture and relics that were
in the house a the time of Gen. Jackson s
death. 1t has inauguated all kinds of en-
terprises, lectures, balls, concerts. theat-
ricals &C.. anything that would net mon
ev to it's treasury. The work of sustenta-
ton is aided by the states appropriation
of $50 a month, which pays the curator
and does some little repair work. The
aSsocia ton has succeeded in putting the
place in its present good condition and in
repIacing those pieces of relic furniture
now to be seen in the house, and it is its
cherished plan to purchase all the relics
and furniture. and rehabiiitate the house
a. it was in Jackson's life.
The original Hermitage was built in
1904. 1t was made of logs. and part of it
is still standing. Aaron Burr made his
famous visit to the Hermitage in 1906, and
was entertained in this log house. Gen.
