THE DRUMMER's EXPERIMENT

The commercial traveller in his.auto- mobile has arrived and has brought his wife with him. Six hundred miles out of Chicago Mir and Mrs F. A. Spielman stopped their fourtee horsepower au- tomobile on corner at Macon, Mo, and began to do business with the mer- chants. 1t is said to be the pioneer venture of the sort in Missouri. MT and Mrs Spielman call their machine "Old Buck" It is painted red and built for hard service. Under the rear seat Is a locker for their sample cases. The commercial tourists represent a Chica- go manufacturing concern, and the present trip is an experiment.. If more miles can be covered in a day, more towns visited and the rate cheapened, the firm will withdraw all it's travelling saIesmen from the railroads in the months when the country roads are fairly good and send them out in au- tomobiles. ,
 '"The advantages of automobiles for travelling representatives are numer- ous." said MT Spielman. "We visit small towns off the railroad that we never thought of going to before. and much new business is worked up that way When we finish a town we don't have to wait two or three hours or maybe half day to get out When we've finished we can start. We never travel at night. don't have to wait for wrecks to be cleared away and are re- lieved of having hack fare between stations and hotels. So far our actual travelling expense, by which I mean the operation of the machine. has been just cent mile. There have been no livery bills. of course. On two or three occasions we have met fellow salesmen stranded in small towns by failure of train service and have taken them back to civilization. We have made good speed records-one of 14S miles dav and the other of 154. tS a rule we found better roads in Illinois md Iowa than in Missouri. ."-Kansas City Star.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1903.

A little thing that is causing much comment in Washington is the attempt of the president, through his secretary, Mir Loeb, to ape the airs of the foreign courts. He is having his White House messengers clothed in uniform, and the report is that the ushers and door keepers at the executive offices will be the next to don the uniform prescribed by Secretary Loeb,, with the ,tacit ap- proval of President Roosevelt As they outrank the messenger. the uni form is to be cut in more fashionable style, and the other officials of the White House are to be more brilliant ly attired so that the social function will match the gorgeousness of any foreign court. The White House will be made to blaze with all the glory and frippery and tinsel and gaudy dis play of the funkies of Eurobean effete monarchies. These be republican times sure, and the people foot the bill.

FORTUNE IN LACES.
Long Veil and Flowers Are Rejected
 by Miss Goelet.

by Miss Goelet.
 "The dress is made entirely of Eng lish point lace as old almost as some of the jewels which will be Miss Goe- let's marriage portion from the gem basket of the Roxburghes. The dress which has, an immensely long train, is made on foundation of white satin so rich and thick that it can almost stand alone. The satin has been cov- cred with white tulle, and this in measure dulls the brillancy of the satin and serves as a sympathetic foundation for the lace. The bodice has yoke of lace, or at least one is outlined by 8 deep frill of this mate rial which circles the shoulders in bertha like effect.
 ''The yoke is not transparent '; in fact, while the dress was made by the king of French dreSsTnakers, 1t is typt- cally English in this matter, for Brit ish brides, as every one knows believe in the most modest gowns possible. The front of the skirt $ trimmed with the tiny roselike May flowers sugges- ted by Miss Goelet's names, and here and there under t.,a 6!itI t train O. lace, which falls from the shoulders. may be seen these litt,a rose-shaped haw- thorne blossoms.

snealzinr of the presidential chan

Speaking of the presidential chances of a number of the foremost demo- crats, a writer in Golfers says that Grover Cleveland is talking in enigmas when he leaves Princeton and gets among people. David B. Hill sits at Albany and hopes and watches. Judge. Alton B. Parker, who, just as hopeful, sits a few miles further down the Hudson Arthur Pue German is di- recting the state campaign in Mary land and has his ear to the ground waiting for the call. William Ran- doIph Hearst is organizing Hearst clubs in all parts of the country, is carrying representatives of congress through the southwest on private trains, and booming himself in his newspapers. General Miles has many newspaper clippings that proclaim him to be the logical man to nominate in opposition to MT Roosevelt Judge George Gray of. Delaware smiles, but says AUOl4lh5s HrACh lIC lS CUtt1 LhaL u4S friends are working for him. The lit tie known Judge Clark of North Caro- lima, who flashed when MT Bryan named him in his "Commoner," has settled down to wait. Richard Olney has a few persistent friends. Many of these men think they can be nom- mated. MT Bryan says no man can be nominated unless he was regular in 1896 and 1900; that is, supported Bryan. It requires a two-thirds vote to get nomination in the democrat ic national convention. MT Bryan still has many friends. If he gets the balance of power, as he undoubtedly plans to, many hopes will be blasted, for most of the men who are now can- didates, or think themselves so, do not fit the Bryan specifications. 5z So far, as nearly as can be judged from the talk, the west thinks well of Parker, the middle states like Gray or Cor man, and the east has little choice.

HIS MOLnef
 Poughkeepsie. Nov 5.-Sixteen- year. old Harold Bember Parker, of No. 117 Bridge street. Lowell, Mass, came to this city on Saturday, after wandering from academy to academy seeking a chance to work for his board and an opportunity to study. In his dress suit case he carried a small card, which he produced as his guide in life. On the card was pasted a set of rules, clipped from a newspaper, and said to have been posted by Baron Rothschild in his bank. They read as follows:
 Shun liquor.
 Dare to go forward. Never be discouraged.
 Be polite to everybody.
 Employ your time we'll
 Never tell business lies.
 Pay your debts promptly.
 Be prompt in everything.
 Bear all troubles patiently.
 Do not reckon upon chance.
 Make no useless acquaintances.
 Be brave in the struggle of life.
 Maintain your integrity as a sacred thing.
 Never appear to be something more than you are.
 Take time to consider; then decide positively. Carefully examine into every de- tail of your business.

I bought a football rig and that used up my money, for I had earned only $35. I packed up l and left Newton and went to Nyack. There was no room for me in the pre- l paratory school there. The proprie- tor is the same man who owned the Newton school when Mir Holly, who now publishes the Harvard Catalogue was there and worked his way through school.

JEFfS WAS A
CRUEL HUSBAND

Harold Jeffs. the barber, is being
sued for divorce by his wife Minnie
Locke Jeffs. on the grounds of extreme
cruelty. The papers were filed yester-
day. The plaintiff relates that she was
Minnie Locke before the marriage
which took place in Honolulu June 3,
1900. She says that within a short
period of this event her husband COM
menced a course of extreme cruelty to-
ward her, which continued up to the
time of the filing of the suit.
She declares that her husband used
profane and abusive language toward
her, and more particularly charges that
on or about February 10. 1903, he bruis-
ed the petitioner, cut one of her ears,
and blackened one of her eyes. on
November 2, 1893 he is alleged to have
sprained her ankle, to have thrown her
against the wall of her apartment and
struck her. on December last she
says he struck her, bruised her face,
arms and other parts of her body, and
thereafter has since deserted her.
Mrs. Jeffs claims her husband is
guilty of habitual intemperance. Since
June 8, 1900, she says she has been
without property or means. He
has real and personal property
and is proprietor of a barber shop
She feels aggrieved over an ad-
in the local papers in
which he states that he will not be
for debts contracted by her
in his name. She asks for so alimony

AGAINST THE TIDE.

Rowing against the tide is
hard work, even when the boat
is light and the rover strong.
Every stroke takes away little
strength. The lungs work hard
to keep the blood supplied with
oxygen. Objects on the shore
seem to move past with dis
heartening slowness. Arms and
back ache, and courage fails.
The sick person, with slug
gish liver, bad blood and worse
digestion, is like a man pulling
against the tide. His struggle
to keep alive is heartbreaking.
His merciless mirror shows
pale, haggard face, with sunken
cheeks and eyes, either dull or
shining with the brightness 80
often noticed in consumptives.
He needs treatment but no last
ing benefit may be expected
from that which is overgrown
with the moss of tradition. The
