THE TRAVELLING MAN.


remember the days when barefootet
boy,
In the village which witnessed my
| birth,
I was taught to believe that travel
| ing man
Represented the scum Of the earth.
Whenever a stranger appeared on the
street,
Arrayed in a checkerboard vest;
With a coffin mail stuck in the front
OF his face
And "sparkler'' astride Of his chest
With razor-edge crease in the leg of
his pants,
And his shoes of dazzling tan;
And I'd say What on earth is the
object seer"
They would say TITS a travelling
man."
When dutiful hubby came home just
at dawn,
And was asked to account to his
spouse,
From the fact that his pins couldn't
hold him erect
In charge Of his beautiful "souse."
He'd look humble and meek like dog
that's been licked,
And say, Now so help me, Susanna,
I started for home at ten minutes to
ten,
But--fell in with a travelling man."
When the Ladies' Aid, met to darn
socks for the poorT
And peddle some scandal around,
Some old lady would say in a Mortified
tone,
i've some news that will simply as
found;
Old Deacon Jones' girl has gone clean
to the bad,
(That hussy they call Mary ANN,
She was seen on the street after dark
Tuesday night,
All alone. with a travelling man."
But I find that the law still permits
them to live,
In fact they quite freely abound;
And they don't even quarantine virtue
When travelling man happens
around.
We have found that the species is hu-
man in fact,
Whose presence enlivens and cheers;
Who believes that a boost is worth
more than a knock,
That laugh has more value than
tears.
We find him friend when a friend is
in need,
Who will never a kindness forget;
Whose heart is developed far more
than his init"
In short, a hail fellow well met
Then here's to his future, and may it
e'er be
AS smooth as the unruffled brook;
Our hats off to him and oft may he
come,
With his grip and his mileage book.

To Attain Success Advertising 10 Nee.
essary as in Other Lines.
The successful grocer Of today must
keep his name and goods continually
before the public.
The time is past when a man can
open grocery store. put out his sign
and wait for the business TO come to
him, yet how many are doing just
this thing and always complaining
about the grocery business.
Now, the real successful grocer must
be hustler; he must keep his store
clean and his delivery must be clean.
Grocers as rule use very little
newspaper space. Now, this is very
important. AS much space as one can
possibly afford should be used every
day. Don't fill up the space with just
what you keep in stock, but put in one
or two specials for three days and
watch results.
Have some slips about 2x5 printed
describing any new goods you may
want to introduce and pur them in all
packages sent out. Keep sending out
these slips with your new goods, and
your trade will know you are up to
date and hustler.
Give you men a sample OF your new
goods to take on the wagon with them
to show their customers
Don't neglect your show windows.
Be sure to have them changed and
cleaned at least every week. Make a
nice display Of your goods, and have
nicely lettered show cards placed there
on.
II you have the room and are having
a special sale of anything have a
table near the front of the store dis
playing the goods az special prices.
1t will attract the attention OF every
person entering your store.
Some grocers make and furnish free
the coffee ased at church suppers;
others furnish the tickets for church
entertainments free, having their adj

ETC., giving a vote for every 1O-cent
purchase. These are only suggestions

ON TO SALTWATER
NOW The SLOGAN
ACTIVITY OF RED WING COUNCIL
FOR THE 1911 TRAVELLERS CON-
VENTIoN HAS CAUSED FARGO
TRAVELLERS TO SIT UP AND
TAKE NOTICE.

The activity of Red Wing council in
its endeavor to secure the Grand Coun-
ell session for 1911 has caused the
members of Fargo council No. SIS to
sit up and take notice. Gazing after
Halley's comet has become uninterest-
ing to them now as they have all set
their eyes toward Saltwater for June
O. and 4, at which point they will as
semble in force, where the arts and
wiles of the coy maiden, the tricks and
wire pulling of the politician will fade
into significance when compared with
the enthusiasm of the Fargo knights
of the Grip, in their campaign to secure
this session for Fargo in 1911.
The boys feel very grateful to the
merchants of Fargo for the many ex-
pressions Of encouragement extended
to them, many of whom remember the
Grand Council session held at Fargo
in 1901, realize and appreciate what
sucha gathering of travelling men means
for the city, and others who realize
the great good that must necessarily
accrue to city TO have from 5000 to
5000 commercial statesmen boosting for
one particular place at which they ex-
pect to assemble later on for business
and social purposes.
At the meeting of Fargo council held
Saturday evening much enthusiasm
was displayed. Many who had no idea
Of going, before the meeting. are now
the most earnest workers in securing
large number to go to Saltwater,
with the result that the boys now fig
ure there will be an attendance Of from
sevenry-five to one hundred from Far
go council. The uniform adopted by
Fargo council is white hat, linen
busters and white CATERS. These will
be shipped to Saltwater, where they
will be distributed to the members
Every member of Fargo council attend
ing this session is requested to register
at headquarters from Fargo No. SIS, no
matter where he lives. To the timid,
1t would be well to know that no dam
age will result from the visit of the
Bagmen of Bagdad They look queer
but are "city broke" kind and sound
and are there for fun, frolic and the
enlargement of their guild. If your
name should be requested on piece of
paper (other than check don't hesl-
tate to put it there. as the result will
justify the effort.
Avesta Guild has arranged to demon
strate at a Nubnoxirius, to be held by
them one day during the session. A
large number of applications have been
sent to the scribe, requesting the priv
ilege OF exploring the mysteries of
guildom. As the name signifies, only
members in good standing in the Unit
ed Commercial travellers are eligible
for membership in this order.
A trip to the Dells on the st. Croix
river for those whose automobile life

ranged for to insure the best time pos
sible for those In attendance, even the

HAVE GOOD FAITH.
If You Can't Believe In Your Own
Goods. Others Can't R

Goods, Others Can't.
II you can't believe in your line of
goods, find another job where you can
believe in them. Your lack OF faith in
the goods you sell will undermine you.
Having the goods In which you be-
lieve, stand by them. Learn all you
can about them-their manufacture,
their quality, lasting nature and pleas
ing possession. Having this pride in
those things which you sell, you can't
help showing it both to employer and
customer in your handling of them, re-
placing them neatly and Keeping things
ship shape. Your manner in speaking
of them will carry conviction to the
extent that you know about them.
Out Of this condition you viii hear
your customer asking: Now what
do you think as between this and this?
When you hear that question, it is a
tribute to your craftsmanship. Store
these things in your recollections-they
are invaluable as a stimulus to con-
fidence.
Cultivate the ability to remember
faces and to call the customer by his
right name. Remember his address If
you can. These may seem small things
but they are vital-human nature
never will be above the implied com
pliment.
Your tactfulness will come OF your
own education of yourself in dealing
with all kinds of people. You will have
learned more when You can send the
cranky person home satisfied than you
could have learned of scores of easily
pleased customers.

PUBLIC DEMANDS
one PRICE SYSTEM
DO BUSINESS OPENLY AND GIVE
EVERYBODY A FAIR DEAL AT
SAME TlME-No REBATES FOR
ANYBODY THE RULE - ONE
PRICE FOR EvERYsopY.

What / am writing about happened
long time ago. Maybe when the rail-
roads quit rebating the travelling
statesmen and the conductors quit d.
vlding up; maybe all these practices
have passed cut along with the ticket
broker who used to sell you a ticket
and you would sit on the train and
forge somebody else's name to the
ticket just to beat the railroad out of
thirty-three and e-third per cent.
The railroads are now doing BUSH
ness on the one-price system. one
price for both passengers and freight.
No quantity rebates for anybody.
The day of one price on everything
to everybody is dawning. In fact, the
one-prtce sun has already risen. None
of US likes to buy merchandise that
Isl marked with three prices on one
tag, all in hieroglyphics. None of us
likes to buy from the catalogue with
three marks on the same item.
Here / prophesy that the time is
near at hand when all goods in iobbing
houses and retail stores will be marked
in plain figures with one price. See
the handwriting on the wall! The
growth of the catalogue house-all ono
price. The growth of the department
store--all one price. Great stores in
New York, like Tiffany's- everything
marked with one price in plain figures
on the tags.
The day when secrecy in business
was considered such a necessary thing
is passing. We don't like the man
who whispers. We don't like secrets.
All mercantile houses want their sales
men TO buy and use mileage books.
They want their statesmen to buy and
use excess baggage books. All are
willing to pay the price for the serv-
ice.
The business men of the country are
all learning they can make more money
keeping UP stock and selling their
goods in a legitimate way than they
can monkeying around trying to make
a few dollars on some secret trans
action.-Mike Kenny In "GImlet."

SPEAKER CANNON.

Having tried with disastrous results
Bryan's nostrums of free silver, govern
mental ownership of railroads, govern
mental insurance of deposits and other
palpable fallacies, the Democrats were
forced to find an issue" in making a
bogy of the Speaker of the House of
Representatives. This is the whole
matter in a nutshell. They could not
find any principle or proposition upon
which the party could be united, and
SO they turned their batteries of abuse
upon the men who had earned by long
and conspicuously able service the lead
ership of the Republican Party in Con-
gress. They have not been able to
point out any specific thing which Mr..
Cannon has done to render him obnox-
ious to the country. 1t was sufficient
the House of Representatives, and used
the -power placed in his hands to make
good the party's pledges and promises
to the country. That he was a typical
and leading Republican was all that
was necessary to draw their fire. We
have seen recrudescence of all the
old Copperhead venom and Southern
malignity that stormed around Abra-
ham Lincoln. Alas! too many truck
ling Republicans, hoping to gain po-
1itical advantage by following the
straws which the wind blew, have fall
en- in with these schemes of the Demo-
Gratis to break down the Republican

the party Mr.. Cannon has been made
the worst bugaboo since Lincoln, and
'Cannonism'' has taken the place in

In the columns of the Democratic press

"Abolitionfsm" used to have. 1t is the
same senseless, ear-splitting clamor,
without anything specific and well de-
fined behind il. Everyone. even his
worst opponents on the floor Of the
House. admits that Mr.. Cannon has
administered the rules Of the House of
Representatives with singular ability
and impartiality. The rules are the
result of the soberest judgment Of the
majority of the House of Representa-
tives as the best way to conduct it's
business and secure the object for
which il assembled. 1t will be remem-
bered that Thomas B. Reed was as
sailed with almost the same virulence
that Speaker Cannon has been, but
when the Democrats came into power
they did not change the rules a sylia-
BILE. No one can point out an act of
Speaker Cannon's that has not been in
strict fuIfillment of the policy of the
Republican Party and in the redemp-
ton of the promises and pledges which
IT made when it went before the peo-
pie asking for their support. To abuse
Speaker Cannon is simply to abuse the
Republican Party for doing what ii
promised to do and what the country
expected it to do when3 it placed the
party in power and elected William II.
