IDEA CAME FROM SHEFFIELD.
First Commercial Traveller Sent From
That City.

1t has generally been supposed that
the commercial traveller is product
of our own busy day, but as early as
1857 a Sheffield cutlery manufacturer
conceived the idea of sending to the
continent glib takers to convince the
merchants that the English-made
cutlery was superior to that of local
manufacturers, and so marked was his
success that 1t was not long before the
same idea was put alto practie in 9th
er lines.
AS early as 1865 the term "bagman"
had become common, the word being
defined in Murray's Dictionary of that
year, the example being quoted from
Goldsmith
The title Commercial traveller" Is
the only modern part of the idea, the
ancient bagman lasting until the i'm
proyements in travel caused the term
to become obsolete.
In earlier years the salesman trav-
eled with his samples in bag
strapped to his horses back and
moved from place to place, and 1t was
not until the passing of the stage
coach days that the sample trunk be-
came the feature of the travellers out

room. He found Arthur Morris with

several packages of money.

manded Randolph Morris.

His voice was choked, the blood
surged to his temples, his hands
clutched at his throat, and with a
gasp for breath he fell heavily to the
floor.
Before Arthur Morris realized what
had happened, others were by his
fathers side. The stricken old finan-
cier partially recovered consciousness
before physician arrived, but again
sank into most alarming condition.
"Apoplexy," said the physician, in
answer to a question. "'Is this his

Father and Son.

One by one the directors OF the
bank had entered the room where
Randolph Morris. was making his
fight against overwhelming odds.
Some he recognized by an almost i'm
perceptible bow, but no words came
from his lips as he bent over the tape.
The faces of the directors were pale
and drawn from tension.
When L. & o. had mounted to
eighty dollars share, Randolph Nor
ris changed his tactics and attempted
to check the rise by throwing all his
holdings on the market. In less than
an hour he hurled thirty-five thousand
shares into the speculative whirl-
pool.
1t was like stemming Niagara with
a straw The price did not sag. The
powerful interests back of l.. & o..
pledged three millions of dollars for
this stock and clamored for more.
In response to a demand for mar
gins, Randolph Morris deposited sew
eral millions cash and valid securf-
ties. Alarmed by rumors, patrons of
the bank formed in long lines and de-
manded their deposits. There was no
CLEAN of hope, but grim in defeat the
old banker stood by the wheel and
watched the ship of his fortunes as
she swiftly neared the reefs of ruin.
A clerk entered and handed to Ran
dolph Morris the yellow slip of paper
containing the bulletin. He read 1t
slowly, crumpled it in his hands and
threw 1t on the floor.
Grasping his massive gold-headed
cane, he brought it down on the glass
dome which covered the delicate
mechanism of the ticker. One of the
flying fragments cut his cheek and
few drops of blood slowly trickled
down his face.
