The Smooth WAY.


In the last generation Tyler Cobb,
Esq. was a well-known citizen OF
North Bridgewater-now Brockton---
Massachusetts. He was famous
throughout Plymouth county. SAYS Il
contributor to the Boston Herald, for
his witty retorts and dry humor.
Never having taken a sea trip, Mr..
Cobb one day conceived the idea OF
making a voyage to New York. Ac.
cordingly he sailed from Boston In a
small schooner.
The first day out a storm was en-
countered and Mr. Cobb became VIC.
lently sick. but after several hours he
mustered up courage and strength to
look out upon the troubled waters.
AS he looked from the side of the
little ship up the trough of the sea, it
seemed very smooth to him. The cap
tain's cutting of the waves was Sense
less he told himself.
But as this mad steering continued.
the unhappy passenger finally erawlcd
out, on hands and knees, to where the
captain stood at the wheel, and ra.s
ing his voice above the din of waves
and wind, shouted:
Man, man, keep In the ruts, keep In
the ruts!"-Youth's Companion

John T. Harvey.

John T. Harvey, having Offices at
422 and 423 Atlas building, organizer
and manager of the Pacific Western
Selling company, is employing twenty
five Representatives and covering the
entire inter mountain region and Pacific
slope in the distribution of manufactur-
ers products and specialties, altogether
numbering some sixteen classes and in
Guiding line of high grade Havana
and domestic cigars.
Mr.. Harvey comes from Louisiana,
where he was formerly engaged in the
lumber business He has selected Salt
Lake as q point in the West which
possesses exclusive advantages over
all other cities he visited for the distrf-
button of goods, and declares that he
has not been disappointed. Although
the volume of the territory's trade de-
mands was once small, he has recog-
nized that it is growing rapidly. Mr..
Harvey says that, although his business
here was in the beginning somewhat of
a venture, his success has been sufi-
cient already to assure him that he
was not mistaken in his judgment when
he located.
He is an aggressive, enterprising
young man, possessing likeable per-
sonal characteristics and social quail
ties which make him popular and the
friend of all who come in contact with
him. His latch.string at his office is
always out, and, therefore, his acquain-
lance is rapidly extending, while the
| aggregate volume of business of the
Pacific Western Selling company is en-
larging at a greater rate than antici-
pated.
r. V. Kirkham, sales manager, and
Thomas r. Johnson, contract manager,
of the company, are likewise most en-
terprising young business men, and
the trio thus identified with the city's
commercial life will add materially
thereto every day. They expect to en-
large the company s. scope continuously
and to ultimately operate the biggest
and most comprehensive selling COM
pany in the West. Salt Lale City pa

Mr.. John T. Harvey is the second
son of Mrs. Mary T. Harvey, of this
place. A few months ago he spent
several weeks with his mother and
sister here. The above article states
it correctly when it says Mr.. Harvey is
young man of fine business attain

Broke Even.

The Greensburg and Columbia teams
met on the Lindsey-Wilson Campus
last Saturday and played two games,
forenoon and afternoon. Neither club
was in shape, yet there was some fine
plays made. Wilson did excellent
pitching for Greensburg and Rosenfeld
caught fine game for Columbia. All
the boys had just put in week at our
Fair and they were about run down.
The Greensburg base ball team is
quite a favorite in Columbia. 1t is
composed of elegant young men and
when they visit our city every courtesy
is extended. They are given hearty
welcome at every meet and when the
game closes, it matters not whether
our boys win or lose, the departure of
the Greensburg aggregation is invari-
ably regretted by all lovers of the
popular sport.
The following is the result of both
games:
