How TO Sell Goods in Germany.

| II. d. Varnum, in Success Maya
zine The German regulations con
nected with the foreign travelling sales
man who may desire to ply his trade
within the Kaisr's realm are. par
ticularly stringent. All foreign sales
men must procure licenses. If the
article handled should include fruit
eggs, poultry beeswax, or honey, the
salesman will be reused license If
he has ever been under police
surveillance, or If he has ever been
known as habitual drlmkard or
yagrant, though what selling beeswaA
has to do with vagrancy or drinking.
more than any other article Of com
merce, is not apparent. 1t will be well
for any salesman considering a trip
through Germany to look up the
regulations at any German consulate
before starting. He may be spared
expense and possible humiliation by 50
doing.
A case in point was the experience
OF salesman for a typewriter manu-.
factory who went across to work
Belgium, and at tho last moment
thought he world make a short trim
through the northern pant CT Germany
lie carried with him compound pl O.
pared by himself which contained
beeswaX as ne Of the ingredients. and
which he desired TO Introduce as n
IubrIcating article for typewrlters and
other delicate mechanisms.
When he presented his passport. ut
the first crstom-house across the
frontier an official began to question
HIM. He was first asked If his only
limo was that Of typewriters, and.
when ho replied that he had a lubricat
ing compound to sell, the official de.
handed to know is ingredients.
When beeswaX was mentioned a new
line of intorrogations was started.
Have YOU ever been under police
slrrvoillace?' asked the official, crisply.
NO. replied the American But
Have you ever served a sentence of
three months or more for any criminal
act or misdcmeanor?" he was in,
terruptod.
AT this the salesman became angry.
Are you trying to Insult me?" he
cried What do you mean by ASKING
such tdiotic questions? ! never stole
anything in my life, and even If did
never stole beeswax. | bought that
wax and paid for it. If you require an
autobiographical sketch Of my life, IN
have one printed and mailed to yod;
and, even If It is necessary to make a
fool of Yourself you can't make one
of me. | don't have to sell my com,
pound In your county. There are
other places. Back home In Gods
country they don't make a man tell
what his great grandmother uied OF
before he is allowed to sell corn

Tho Official was wnmoved, He made
an entry upon a piece of paper, and
continues
Have You one or more children not
properly cared for, or who, If between
six and fourteen years of age"
He did not finish the question.
There was no need. The American
had Ned. evidently convinced that only
the angel Gabriel could sell beeswax
in the German empire. The rcgula.
tions under which this commercial
traveller was Intercepted can be
found on file at any German consulate

Conspiracy to ALLEVIATE the affections
and support of a husband from the
wife is a criminal and unlawful pro-

action for damages sustained. This
is the substance of a decision rem
dered by the supreme court yesterday,
in the case of John Randall, guardian
for Emma Lonstorf, an insane person,
against Margaret Lonstorf and her
nine children, the family which is
charged with the alleged conspiracy.
The conspiracy alleged is that the de
PENDANTS conspired and separated EN-
ma Lonstorf from her husband, Otto
Lonstorf. The wife was driven to
insanity and dire poverty and the hus-
band, described as a weak and If
resolute person, entered into the pans

Payment Valves Claim.
According to an opinion written by
Justice Marshall and announced by
the supreme court yesterday, payment
of special street assessment taxes is
waiver of right to recover If no pro

The Pabst Brewing company of Mil.

of Milwaukee in the Burleigh street
pavement assessment litigation. The
court holds that although special

payment constitutes waiver under the
rule that taxes paid voluntarily with
