money of travelling men, classifying

are spending. Here's an instance told
by the Keosauqua independent: Bill
Veach, one of the most popular trav-
cling men who comes to this city, was
real mad, at the train Friday. because
fanny Brown had charged him for bus
rides during the month he was off on
his vacation, and what added to hi
chagrin was the fact that Tamy had
used side Of the depot for the slate
SO that anyone who cared to could
see the figures. Tamy claimed that
as certain place in the bus had
been reserved for the fare for the
last forty years, and that the bus was
there for his accommodation he should
pay straight through. Mr. Veach says
that Tamy will have to take it out of
his hide. If he can.
