THE PEDDLER.
(By Joseph e. Blieden, in the Men
orah)
CHAPTER III.

Five long years Simon Hertzman
peddled in the vicinity of the West
Virginia country which was the
scene of his first business venture.
At first he found it an exceedingly
hard matter to establish steady,
profitable trade. The work was diff
ficult and the reward seemed small.
But he remained at his task. Calm,
resourceful, patient, undismayed amid
conditions that often sickened strong
er hearts to the verge of despair, he
continued to go about his business
day after day, meeting all acquisitions
Each second or third week he would
ride into Baltimore, usually on Fri
day, to replenish his stock and, Incl
dentally, to spend the Sabbath in the
Synagogue and among his few friends
in the city. Monday would find him
back on the road again.
AS weeks went on and grew into
months and months paired off until
a year or two passed, Simon's ac-
quaintance among the farmer folk in
the territory which he covered be-
came wider. He noticed, too that
his command over the English Ian
guage, due to his continual contact
with Americans, was becoming great
er. His business began suddenly to
show rapid and steady increase, and
as profits were large in those days
and competition not so keen, it was
not long before he accumulated a
snug sum.
Finally there came to him an idea
The effects of the difficult work were
beginning to tell on his, and as he
now had small capital of his own,
it was time to tighten his labors. On
the little main street in Lynchburg
he rented a small store room and
opened a general store. 1t was a
success from the start. Most of
the farmers nearby, among whom, as
a peddler, he had established repu-
tation for honesty and reliability, i'm
mediately became constant patrons
In comparatively short space of

and WELD a great influence in com
mercial civic and even national al
fairs.
To this wonderful progress the i'm
migrants have contributed their share
and none more so than the Jews. Re-
ceiving in the European countries,
oppression, tidings of a great nation
beyond the seas, a nation of liberty
and equal rights, these men of Israel
its freedom. Poor and meanly clad
though most of them We're, as pas
sengers of the crowded steerage,
none could say what their future held
in this land of enlarged opportunities.
They struggled bravely and success
fully to adapt themselves to the con-
ulJlOuS vi Ille tOullly anu lucy dl Z
now among our most worthy and in
fluential citizens. They went to work
at various occupations, usually under
great difficulties, and the country is
better, richer and greater for having
had them here to assist in it's up
building.
One of the men who did his duty
during these years of the nations
rapid development and who, with
thousands of others, has been justly
rewarded for his efforts, is Simon
Hertzman, the peddler. On princi-
pal street in the wholesale section Of
one of our large middle western cities
stands an immense eight-story build
ing. Each floor is filled with many
dollars worth of the most modern
and desirable merchandise dear to
the hearts of the welldressed Ameri-
can public. Two bookkeepers, three
stenographers, a credit man and five
or six clerks, besides the officials of
the firm, look after the office end
of the business, while throughout the
building and on the delivery wagons,
which are constantly moving to and
from the freight houses with heavy
loads, are employed large number
of men. Throughout the length
and breadth of the nation travel
twenty statesmen of proved ability
selling the firms wares The large
gilt, raised letter signs on the front
of the building read;

time his business reached such pro
portions that there was no further
room to expand in the small town,
whose commercial possibilities were
limited.
Simon decided to open another
store in a larger town nearby, and
placing his younger brother whom
he had brought over from Russia
some two years before, in charge of
the Lynchburg place, he moved over
to the new town. Here he was also
wonderfully successful and in three
or four years amassed quite a little
fortune. Then it was that there
flashed through his mind one evening
the thought that he should like to get
married and live in one of the large
cities among his own people. The
idea struck him that since there were
a great number of peddlers in the
West and South, there must be a good
opening for a peddlers supply store
in one of the large middle western
cities, which contained but few such
establishments Travelling about and
investigating he soon found loca-
his two country stores under the
management of his brother and anoth-
er relative and entered the wholesale
field A year or two later he married.
Worth not wealth was the test, and
he chose as his mate along life's jour
ney daughter of Israel, poor in world
ly goods, but rich in refinement and
beautiful in soul.
Twenty-Five years have elapsed
since Simon Hertzman first carried a
pack-twenty-five long, eventful years
during which this country has UNI
dergone phenomenal development.
From towns with a few insignificant
little stores, have sprung up, like
magic, large ones, with quarter of
million people and multiplied and
tremendous commercial enterprises.
Dingy little shanties in small towns
that We're formerly lined with few
shelves of merchandise have become,
practically without changing locations
large department stores, with enor-
NOUS, magnificent stocks of goods
Men who came from humble parent
age are now capitalists and financiers

a recommendation 10 pay pension of
SIS monthly to the widow of the late
Robert Clare, who was accidentally
killed by cave-in while at worl, ex.
cavating for the construction of tbr
No.2 pump house year ago. The com
mittee appointed some time ago ia
look into the matter recommended
that fifteen dollars monthly be maid
for a period of five years. This wa
refused by the council by a vote OF 4
to 2.
Mayor Dodge expressed his sN\1-
rathy for Mrs Clare and his approval
Of the manner i'm which she had gone
about TO have the city assist her. He
declared further that ne would be Will
ling To contribute to n substitution
fund. but that as mayor of the CITY
ne opposed the pension recommenda-
tion, because tho council had no right
70 make an appropriation of this ma
ture. city Attorney Lawton declared
that the city was not responsible for
Clare's death. and that the question
Of liability for his death had not been
considered by the committee.

nue., which the special committee rec
commended i'm settlement of Mr.. Mar
kIe's claim. 1t was explained to Mr..
EXley that the compensation was for
injuries to Mr.. Markle and not TO the
horse.
Fire Warden Mitchell asked that
blanks be provided on which notices
may be sent TO owners of buildings

Mitchell claimed that the city hall Is

committee and fire warden were des-
ignated to investigate the matter and
report at the next meeting upon the
probable cost of a smoke consumer
Chief Exley of the fire department
recommended the building of an addi-
ton. 20 by 80 feet. 90 the city hail to
provide accommodations for the en-
gine and for the storage of nay and

KEYSTONE WATER METERS
ITO BE INSTALLED HIRE

LAR MONTHLY MEETING.
Big Reduction in Water Waste Will
Be Made Possible.

After full discussion at last nights
regular meeting of the Hubbell coun-
ell, 1t was decided that all water con
sumers In the village will be re.
quired To use keystone meters I'm the
future. For some time the receipts
from water taxes have been insum
Cient to meet the expense of pumping
and II was evident that considerable
water was being wasted. 1t is To cor
rect this situation that the above ac-
tion was taken. Meters Will be Install
ed wherever they are desired this year
ana next year It is proposed to make
the installation OF meters compulsory
with the consumers.
W. II. Takes, representative Of the
Pittsburgh Meter company was pres
cnt at the meeting and stated that a
consignment OF nifty meters would be
sent here at once. The meters will
cost the village $50 and will be in
stalled for $40, this being the amount
that the consumer will be called upon
to pay. 1t is expected the adoption of
the meter system will result i'm saw
ing for the careful consumer. and II
the experience OF other villages i'm the
copper country may be taken as crit
erion, the taxes probably will be mucn
less than on the old fiat rate basis.
Bills amounting 10 a total of $4O9.7S
were approved. 800 of this amount
was paid To Hildebrand and Narcotic,
the contractors who installed the Hub
bell sewer system, representing the
amount which was held back from
these contractors last month.

SUBMERGED LUMBER.
Oak and Black Walnut Taken from

Oak and Black Walnut Taken from
the Bay Of Quinte.
The most peculiar numbering oper-
atoms in the country are now In prog
ress I'm the Bay of Quinte on the north
ern shore of Lake ontario, forty miles
north OF Oswego. Hundreds of logs
of oak and black walnut. many OF
them fifty or more feet long. are being
brought up from the bottom OF the
bay with graphing hooks operated
by powerful engines and hosting APP
paratus stationed on barges. Some of
the logs have been submerged over
twenty five years, but when brought
TO the surface are found to be in as
perfect state of preservation as the
day they went to the bottom loaded
with ice or because OF their own great
weight.
Forty years ago the shores of the
Bay Of Quinte were lined with great
primeval forests of pine. oak and
black walnut. The pine first attract
er the lumbermen and was the tim
Der really sought for. but every tree
went down before the woodlands axe
Turing the winter months. When the
logs were run into the bay to be ship
ped or noatej TO this side of the lake
many uf the heavier and consequent
" more valuable sank and became

feet below the surface of the water.
In the ten or fifteen years required

that today are worth a high price,
1t was not until this summer that
uIans were devised for raising the
sunken logs. Divers were sent down

Der to make hosting operations profit

favorable that scows were equipped
with the necessary machinery and the
hosting work Is now In full swing.
some days n scow or barge and its
rev will bring up hundreds of dol
