There is no unfailing test to tell the

Minneapolis, only one family, the anna

can be detected, but the advice of the
club is not to experiment without

WITH THE TRAVELLERS
COMMERCIAL MAN
A MISSIONARY
LEADS THE LIFE OF A CIRCUIT
RIDER, BUT IN A DIFFERENT
CAPACITY - BUILDS UP THE
COUNTRY WITH MORALITY AND
ENLIGHTENMENT AS SIDE LINE.

The commercial traveller and the
circuit rider are alike in that both
are going about doing good but the
work and environments of the two are
about as far apart as could be. The
former is building up the country from
business standpoint, with the morals
and enlightenment OF the masses as a
side line Uhis is no 1oke), While the
circuit rider devotes his time and at
tention to mans spiritual nature.
The itinerant preacher often goes
hungry for want of the wherewiLh to
pay for the necessities, while the COM
merclal evangelist has varied expert
ence with his menu. For breakfast he
may feast on quail on toast" and hear
the welcome query Boss. how'll you
have yo' aigs?" At noon he may be
forced to do the best he can at some
roadside farm, where they feed drum
mers." Then at night he may be car
ried to room at the door of which
he meets musty odors, and turns in on
sE1uck bed, in which he is reminded
all through the night that in the pro-
duction of maize, nature requires cobs
as well as husk.
Both of these classes of travelling
men depend upon the intricate art of
persuasion. The preacher lacking in
this rare gift will be reduced in rank,
or given more remote charge, while
the commercial traveller will speedily
receive an invitation from his, house
to come home and rest indefinitely
One Of the first lessons both of these
classes of men must learn Is absolute
self control, otherwise their work with
their fellow men is futile. Regardless
of any opinion to the contrary, both
are engaged in promoting the general
good of the country

LORD Of The EARTH
Travellers Will Hold a High Position
on Earth When Their Worth Is
Recognized.

Few recognize the patent fact that
the salesman stands alone as the great
burden bearer of commerce, in so far
as production Is concerned. Proprie-
tors, office men, shipping clerks, on
down to the porter or the drayman,
all are dependent on this, the sole
producer of business. More remotely,
the farms, mines, and factories with
their millions of operatives are de-
pendent on the man with the grip for
the bread they eat and the clothes
they wear.
The great railroads. the hotels and
livery industries would perish but for
the labors Of this wonderful man.
Even the professions would be para
lyzed before the world could be turn
ed back a half century and adjusted
to conditions prevailing before the adj
vent of the commercial traveller.
When he and his work are fully
understood by the world as it will be
some day, the travelling man will be
recognized of his true worth. and
then people will be found falling over
one another in their efforts to gain
his favor.

Mushroom Tests Given Out.

Minneapolis, Sept. 17.-"What is the
difference between an edible mush-
room and toadstool?'
A member of a mushroom club
would not ask that question. Mainly
because he knows that mushrooms are
toadstools and toadstools are mush-
rooms
Yet that is the most common ques-
ton asked by those who desire to go
out and pick a "msss'' for supper
When they have been told half dozen
ways to tell the difference, all of them
wrong, they go out and gather a first
class basketful of sudden and painful
death.
The Mushroom club met last night.
On a big table was spread a large
quantity of mushrooms. The club
members gathered around it. armed

of the Old, the Psalms Of David, is
now issuing from the press in Chinese,
and stacks of the volume are being

The project was inaugurated in 1890
