TRAVELLERS ARE

ARE GROWING sTEADILY-u. c.
T. IN THE LEAD WITH 5000
MEMBERS.

Notwithstanding the difficulties OF
mercial travellers on account OF their
constant motion the work of organiza-
ton is steadily going forward, and at
this time 100000 is approximately the
number of travelling men associated in
the two leading orders among these,
known as the u. @. T. and the T. p A.
The United Commercial Travellers are
at this time in the lead, with $1,000
members, and the Travellers Protective
association has around $4,000 and is
steadily gaining ground every day Tho
headquarters of the former is located
at Columbus, Ohio, while the latter is
at st. Louis.
The benefit to the craft from these
organizations are many and far-reach-
ing In effect. Organization ID the mod
ern way by which any force can make
itself felt. There are many evils which
need to be corrected, and the service
extended by public utilities can be
reached in no other way except from
organized protest and concerted ac-
ton to bring about reforms.
1t is true that the accident indemnity

ders OF travelling men is largely an in
centive to many to unite with them,
but there is no questioning the fact
that the organizations are effective In
bringing this vast army Of the road
into more forceful and favorable notice
by the general public '~es4
Besides these orders OF a national
character many states have organiza-
tions which are only for the purpose
OF closer relationship and active effort
TO secure reform in the facilities at

neyings over the country. These state
orders are not in conflict with those
of a national character, but are aiding
them in effecting the adoption of'many
important and necessary improvements
in the service afforded the travelling
public.

he has been stuck in the mud or sit

while his driver had gone to some
friendly farmer to borrow a wheel to
take the place of one he broke in cross

the times when he had to wire for
fresh samples to take the place of those

Heretofore the travelling man could

do more to press forward the good

LABOR.

Wake thee from the nights repose;
Fresh. with vigor crowned, uprising,
Labor till the day shall close.
Not with idle thoughts be musing;
Up. be noble. and be true.
In life's field Of ceaseless labor
Something waits for thee to do. !
Every hour and every minute
Brings Its store OF toll and care.
Up, arise! and do thy duty;
Act thy part and claim thy share.
Leave not till to-morrow's 1awning
What to-day might well be done,
For the golden morrow coming
May perchance thy life outrun.
Let the morning sunbeams find thee
Working out some noble plan.
Up. and bear thy standard bravely,
And In earnest play the man.
Toll with pleasure, cease not doing;
Toll and care will soon be past.
Labor now. while thou hast power;
Rest comes sure and sweet at last.
