Bring a corkscrew up with you. Be

At the above injunction a porter in
one of the hotels scurried off to do the
bidding of one of the travelling men
who was just getting settled IN MS
room. There is no occasion to add that
the corkscrew was produced in very
good time and there was no hitch IN

that was going on above stairs
The grade of cigars smoked at the
grand council meeting of the United
Commercial Travellers is about fifty
points higher than those commonly
served at conventions. According to the
experience of the smokers the travellers
stand head and shoulders above every
other organization. If a travelling man
smokes at all he knows good tobacco
and is the last to force any other kind
upon the man he would call his friend.

past two and five o'clock. very at

TEE oFFIcIAL Poem.
Poem by the Late John B
Gibbs.

IHe meeting OF the travelling men IN
Topeka brings to mind the poem The
John D. Gibbs. of Topeka. Mr. Gibbs
was one of the most widely known and
popular cigar statesmen in the west. He
was unusually successful. He died
rather suddenly in Kansas City, March
3, 1899, of pneumonia. In many a hotel
and in the wallets of many a travelling
man will be found the following poem.
written by Gibbs a year or so before his
death:
THE TRAVELLING MAN.
Could I drink of the nectar the gods only
would fill up the glass to the brim:
And drink the success of the travelling
And the house represented By him.
And could 1 but tincture this glorious
With his smiles as I think of him then,
And the jokes he has told and the laughs
he has laughed.
/ would fill up the goblet again
And drink to the sweetheart who bade
With a tenderness thrilling in this
Very hour. as he thinks of the tear in her
That saddened the sweet Of her kiss.
To her. the truest of hearts and fairest of
I would drink with all serious prayers.
Since the heart she must trust IS a travel
And as warm as the ulster he wears.
l would drink to the wife, with the babe
on her knee,
Who awaits his returning in vain,
And breaks his brief letters so trem-
ulously,
And reads them again and again.
would drink to the feeble old mother,
who sits
BY the warm fireside of her son,
And murmurs and weeps Ger the stock
As she thinks Of the wandering one
I would drink to the strangers and friends;
Who have met him with smiles and
good cheer;
To the welcoming hands that good fellows
extend.
To the wayfarer journeylng here
And at last when he turns from his
And pays the last fare that he can.
Mine host of the inn at the end OF the
VIII welcome the travelling man..
