She was a sharp-eyed, independent

Drummers Etiquette.

"On my initial trip as commercial
traveller in England a kind friend told
me that 1 must state I was a CONNER
cial' on entering an inn, and he added
that the commercial room had pecu-
liar customs" says Frank J. Pool, in
The Worlds Work. ARRIVING on a
morning train in a famous university
town, 1 was soon in the courtyard of
an old fashioned inn, which had been
recommended as the best commercial
hotel. 1 was welcomed by the boots
and directed to a commercial room
marked Private
The commercial dinner was served
promptly at l o'clock or at lis. Should
twenty commercials be stopping at
the house and but one be present at
this dinner hour the soup is served. 1t
was a few moments after the hour
when | re-entered the commercial
room to find sixteen seated at the long
table, now covered with white linen
and decorated with flowers. At the
head Of the table, engaged in serving
the soup, sat Mr.. President, who Occu-
pies this position by virtue of having
remained in the hotel longer than any
other person present, n at The other
end is Mr.. Vice, the second in length
Of stay. This l did not then know.
After hesitating for a M I
slipped modestly into a vacant chair.
In a few seconds I vas conscious that
every eye in the room was fixed Upon
me. Presently the president, a rudy
faced old man Of about 60, said, Per-
haps the gentleman who has just seated
himself is that this is a pri-
vate room?' This was said courteously
but firmly. My first thought was to
telegraph to the American ambassador
and to get out my passport declaring
me to be a free born American citizen,
but the savory odor of the soup and
my friends warning prevailed; so, half
rising from my chair, 1 stammered out
something about my ignorance. With
every desire to relieve my evident en-
barrassment, and at the same time to
uphold the traditions of the table, the
president said, The gentleman is a
stranger and wishes to join u.s. A
hearty permission was given at once
by all. n 1 reseated myself"

Fight Between Eagles.

On a recent evening a small party Oh
gentlemen. most all Of whom had tin
ges Of sporting proclivities in their
blood, were discussing the subject OF
chicken fighting. and generally regret
ting its decadence as a bright feature
in the realm of sport, says The Wash
ington Star. An old farmer from Rap
pahannock county Virginia, broke in
to the conversation:
Gentlemen" said he, IN my time l
nave seen some bang up chicken fights,
some be yu ii full ones, but the greatest
fight l ever saw between birds in all
my born days was a contest between a
bald eagle II a grey eagle near my
old place in Rappahannock.
This fight took place on the banks OF
the river. I couldn't forget it if 1 lived
to be as old as Methuselah. 1 was the
only spectator, n saw the struggle
from start to finish. The bald eagle
had caught a muskrat, and was about
to eat it for breakfast, when the gray
eagle scared down and attempted 10
rob the other one of his prey. Then be-
gan the combat, and, Lard, hOW the
feathers flew! They fought with wings.
beaks and talons, and 1 could near the
talons crack when they struck and
tore each other. The sounds made by
their wings as they buffeted one anoth-
er were like explosions of musketry,
while their screams and yells sounded
demOniacal. The battle lasted fully fif-
teen minutes, and wound up with a vic
tory for old badly, who drove the gray
eagle away and then resumed his inter-
rupted breakfast.
oh. yes, there are a great many
eagles up in my part of the state

The Medicine of DiscOrd.

square when a hand-organ began to
grind forth its turgid strains before the
brick house. 1 looked and listened, ex-
pecting with each that some
one would issue from the house of doom
INC drive the dinmaker away. Instead,
a bright black man, evidently a butler,

went by before the repertory was eX--
hausted; then the black man gave the
organ man a dollar, and the music and
the man went quietly their ways.
Il should hin it would disturb your

of the porch.

comes by his orders. The doctor says it
does him more good than the medicine"
For a week 1 went and sat on my
bench and heard the organ grind. The
programme never varied; the concert
lasted the hour: hen came the dollar
and the music ceased
For a full week [ attended these con-
certs in the square. Then came a day
when the hand organ did not appear.
l looked at my watch; l was surprised.
the concert was ten minutes overdue!
What should delay him? Surely that
easy dollar had it's charms!
Then. as though in answer to my
question. my eye caught a black t1ut-

opposite a small wooden box pierced
with holes, says The Sporting Times.
In the conversation which followed the
commercial traveller a V several hints
that he would like to know what was
in the box, without avail. At last his
curiosity got the better of him.
Il say old man. he asked, what
have you in that box"
"A mongoose," was the reply.
A series of diplomatic remarks fol-
lowed, aimed at getting the reason for
carrying q mOngOose; but, as no ex-
PLANTATION was offered, the commercial
traveller a to say plump out:
What are you going to do with that
mongoose?"
The answer he got was: Tn going

pie so suffering are inclined TO see
