The current issue Of the Bulletin Of

a letter sent by a New York firm to
its travelling salesman who wrote a
very discouraging. business report
from Duluth, .:~= -.,: ~.
General Treasurer 4Hashkinsssof Of the

awaiting an interview with the man
ager. Pending his arrival the general
treasurer overheard one of the pro-
prietors debating a letter to his steno-
grapher, which was to be sent to one
Of the firms travelling statesmen. II
struck the treasurer as letter so out
of the ordinary conventional business
style that he secured a copy, through
the kindness Of the typewriter. To
those employers not wishing to un-
duly humiliate travelling salesman
and thus make him utterly discourag-
ed, we would suggest that it be Sc

New York, Nov. 26, 1906.
Mr.. Abe M1osentein-Dear Sir:
Yours from Duluth containing Wea-
ther Report % to hand, and in reply
would say that we have come to the
conclusion that when we signed you
we acquired a nice juicy lemon. Levy
thai & Co., for whom you tried to sell
raincoats, tell us that every letter
from you complained that there had
been no rain in the towns you made
for over year.
We think you ought to release us
or get a job with the Weather Bureau
suppose If you were selling knee
pants there wouldn't be any boys ir
the towns you made.
I personally did not like you from
the day you left on your trip when
you said to me, when I write YOU
for a hundred I want it in money; ]
don't Fant sixty queens and forty
jacks" We have been hearing all
about your actions on the road; suites
with baths at the Auditorium in Chi
cago, planked steaks, and nothing but
Richfield cigars for yours. We would
advise you in the future to get a dol
lar room, go down to the river every
Sunday for your bath, and eat beef
and musical pills at Child's; also buy
Cremo cigars, and send the coupons tc
my wife as she is saving for a. foldina
stove
We know all about the week Won
spent at Peoria with chorus girl with
the Modest Tenderloin Girls Com
pany. It I could get her New York
address 1 would give her call and
give her good talking to for wasting
your time.
You have been making lot OF
towns that we never heard of. You
must be discovering new towns for
Rand, McNally as a side line.
If you continue sending us nothing
but weather we shall send you a COPY
Of Called Back" by Hugh Conway,
and In the future you can have your
mail addressed to Slab 13 in the

My partner thinks you would be a
great man to run the barber shop in
the Martha Washington Hotel, or, to
manage fan factory in Iceland.
Our bookkeeper wanted us to write
you a hot letter, but we are not the
kind Of house that would DISCOURAGE
man on the road.

with dangerous weapon with intent
to commit murder, was sentenced by
Judge Lindsay on Saturday morning to
pay a fine of 81 and to be imprisoned
at hard labor for five years.
Attorney Lightfoot had reminded the
court that the defendant had been in
Jail since March. Deputy Attorney
General Fleming had remarked that he
did not believe a statement from him
was necessary.
Judge Lindsay, in passing sentence,
said if the victim of the shooting had
died he would be passing the death
sentence. He had been given a fair
trial and the verdict of guilty was JUS
titled by the evidence.
the Koreans had only recently come TO
this country. he was an unusually in
telligent member of the race and for
that reason there was no excuse for
the crime There had been a sueges-
ton of Ieniency. but the court could
not see a single ground therefor.
Attorney Noar after the sentence, re-
neWed his motion made a trial to have
a mistral entered on account of pre-
judgment of the case by the evening
