| been better represented in a speaker
to officially welcome such a large and
representative body OF visitors than in
its mayor, Hon. v. r. Lowell, who de-
livered the key of the city to the
statesmen in behalf Of the citizens OF
Fargo and the administration.
Mayor Lovell's address was bright
and clever. He stated that Fargo was
most glad of the opportunity to enter
tain so illustrious a body of public
benefactors and boosters. His many
bright witticisms won him a warm
place at once in the hearts Of his au-
ditors and his remarks were most cor
daily received.
II have learned to like the travelling
men early in my life he said. my
admiration for the commercial traveller
dates back to the time when my father
kept a grocery store In northern Iowa,
where assisted him in the store by
frequently helping to deplete his stock
of stick candy.
And the travelling men generally
made a great deal over me, and /
thought sometimes frcm a mercenary
standpoint. for father was fond of me.
At any rate l always welcomed the
visit of the travelling salesman next
to the annual visit of the summer
circus"
The Salesman Public Benefactor.
Mayor Lowell called the travelling
statesmen public benefactor. This as
sertion was greeted by a storm of ap-
plause that was almost deafening and
for the moment the mayor had to stop
his discourse until the cheering had
subsidized.
"The travelling man is the man who
spreads the news about the towns of
our state among the other towns. He
is the bearer Of good or bad reports,
and because of his frequent travels, his
judgment is generally accepted in re-
gard to any city's prosperity and flu
ture. The travelling man has long
learned the adage that it is better to
go in person to transact any business
rather than write and by this method
he has come In contact with all the
cities to which his business carries
him and he can give very accurate
estimate of what towns are like and
are going to be So it Is often that
a city's growth both in business and
in population is due the travelling man
who spreads the gospel.

vocation.
Ashelman Prssides.
B. F. Ashelman, past councillor OF
the Fargo lodge of the United Com
mercial Travellers and chairman Of the
general arrangements committee, pre-
sided over the opening public meeting
OF the convention. Mr.. Ashelman made
a few remarks to the travelling sales
men and their wives before he in
troduced the principal speakers Of the
morning.
Or. Beard OF the First Congrega-
tional church offered prayer, after
which the u. C.. T. quartette rendered
a most beautiful selection. This or
ganization showed exceptional ability
and their voices were in perfect har-
mony.
The, first number was so greatly
appreciated that the members Of the
quartette were compelled to respond
to an encore. The afterpiece was
bright and spicy and created much
amusement. 8 The reception the sing
ers received was tremendous and the
audience subsidized only when they
bowed their thanks a number OF times
and indicated that there would be no
more just at that time.

Minnesota was introduced for his adj
dress to the convention.
The gopher governor received much
applause and proceeded to give one or
two personal experiences with the
travelling men, patterning after the
precedent set by the earlier speakers
on the programme However, he soon
branched out and presented another
phase of the usefulness Of the sales
man, which had not been heard be-
fore.
He took up the sanitary laws which
recently confronted the legislative as
sembly in his own state. and spoke OF
the help travelling men could give In
this direction. Their visits in the up
to-date hotels could be made a matter
of record to the health authorities OF
the state and in this way facilitate the
labors of those bodies.
Also the sanitary conditions In rail-
road stations and in railroad trains
could be reported, which would keep
the health boards posted as to condi-
tons In all territories of the state. He

distressing sense Of fullness in the
region Of the stomach, causing a most

Il finally concluded that something

to coffee and to the stomach trouble
again.
Then my wife took the matter ii

on the box, faithfully she had me

When / happened to remark that ]

Committee Rule in Congress.

sion OF congress draws near, the re-
publican editors grow more hystericsl
in their predictions OF the direful
things that are TO happen TO the min
ority from the rule Of the Fourteen
Cars" they are pleased to call the
members Of the democratic ways and
means committee. And yet these
same editors we're spectators of the
things that happened under the rule
OF such men as Reed and Cannon.
The fact is that the republican editors
and politicians are unable TO under
stand go amicable and beneficent an
arrangement as has been agreed up
on between Speaker Champ Clark and
his democratic confreres. If any re-
pressive measures should become mes
essary during the session they would
come with better grace II they were
backed by the agreement of a number
of men selected for their ability and
fairmindedness rather than II they
were pounded into the face of the

The Argus Daily Short Story
The Collectors Wife-By Ehnor Stewart Cation
Copyrighted. by Literary Press

News came that cholera had over
stepped the boundary between Asia
and Europe and had gained foothold
In Italy. Orders were issued to the
medical officers along the American
coast to quarantine every ship arriv-
ing from Mediterranean ports and to
permit no sick person to enter the
country without submitting the patient
to q thorough test for the dreaded dis
ease.
One autumn day, when a storm was
sweeping the coast Of New Hampshire,
jeremiah Whipple, newly appointed
collector Of little port of New Hamp-
shire, opened the window of his bed
room to more clearly examine a vessel
that had Just cast anchor in the har-
Dor. She was small steamer, and at
her peak was the United States flag,
upside down, which whipple knew to
be a signal OF distress. Taking up a
spyglass, he brought 1t to bear on the
vessel and saw group Of persons
standing amidships uncovered.
Then suddenly the group scattered,
several of them going TO a boat that
hung on its davits. lowering it and
manning it. The next move was the
lowering Of an oblong box into the
boat, where 1T was reverently received
by the crew. Lastly. man. evidently
an officer, took his place in the stern
Of the boat, grasped the uller ropes.
and the boat moved away from the
ship.
Patience" said the collector to his
wife. II guess they's got the cholera
on board that vessel. They's put up
a distress signal, and there. too. goes
up yellow sick flag"
You're not going to let any Of 'em
land, be your asked the wife. blanch-
ing.
Not till a medical officer comes.
They were to send one today"
The boat pointed straight for the
shore, at one moment its bow shooting
up toward the sky, the next diving
down toward the bottom Of the bay.
When it came within half a mile OF
the shore, Whipple, armed with his
badge of authority. went down TO the
dock to warn them to keep or. He
had never before been in a position Of
trust, and be felt that the keeping out
of an epidemic which might sweep
away thousands of his countrymen
rested upon his shoulders. AS soon as
the party came within hearing he
shouted:
you can't land herei"
tall, thin man rose in the bow of
the boat, took out a bandanna hand
kerchief, wiped his eyes and said:
I'VE do not desire 10 remain ashore
longer than to bury the body CON
tanned In this box. Ny wife was taken
down with cholera six days out of
Naples. Fearing that she would die.
she exacted from me promise that
would not permit her to be buried ct
sea. Both the officers and crew Of the
ship have respected her wish. and
now beg that you VIII permit me to
inter the remains here on the shore"
Even IL the collector had been more
familiar with the duties of his office
IT is questionab BILE IL he would have
felt any certainty with regard to the
disposition OF this case. He felt a
dread of cholera and was anxious 10
get rid OF the party as soon as pos
sibie- There could be no violation, SO
far as he could see. in either the reve-
hue or quarantine laws. The party
