Is getting mighty surly with the boys.
He acts as IL his business was worry
Ing him." or Zones is getting such a
swelied head, because he's made a little
money, that he knows 1t all and a

about goods"
Remarks Of this kind hurt and hurt
hard when they get back to the house.
Hints Of booze, of family troubles, Of
acting too worried to be courteous and
pleasant to the men on the road, Of
having swelled head, directly affect
the standing Of retail merchant with
the wholesale trade, and when once
they get out in the stream of gossip
they are hard to live down or kill out.

To sell or not to sell?

And declining. hold them.
To sell, to ship, perchance to lose
Aye, there's the rubi
For when the goods are gone
What charm can win them back
From slippery debtors?
Will bills be paid when due?
Or will the time stretch out till crack

What of uncles, aunts and mother-in

What of exemptions, bills of sale, and

That coolly offers quarter of the bill.
And of lawyers fees,
That eat UP even this poor pittance?

The incident did not end there. 1t
showed the salesman how his spare
time might be used to advantage, and
his experience, related to other sales

QUIET Since Big MEET
Nothing Doing in Local Order of TraV-
eIers. Held Short Meeting Last
Saturday Night-New Members.

Since the big convention, there has
been very little Of interest happening
in council SIS. It is as Tom Dunn says,
AS soon as a travelling man hits town
he goes to the lake." At the meeting
last Saturday evening in the A. o. u.
w. hail. some business was transacted
and several new members were taken
into the order.
The local council has been busy
since the convention taking care Of the
many small bills that were contracted
at that time. There have been other
matters OF minor detail that have en-
gagged the attention of the officers of
Council No. SIS. but outside of that
there has been very little happening.

The Drummer.

Sample Case: Yes, the drummer is
hummer; he takes his grip, he gives
his tip, then takes a skip, to sell his
goods in towns, or woods. He eats his
grub at inn or club; and oft looks
glad when he is mad; goes without
sleep yet has to keep a smiling face in
every place; he comes, he goes, with
JOY, or woes, but shows his joys to all
the boys and hides his woes wherever
he goes. He's full of grit, he shoots to
hit, and does not quit, until he strikes,
and then he pixies. A good seller. good
yarn teller, royal fellow. Welcome
this knight and treat him right-for
the drummer is a hummer!

MAYVHLE NORMAL


The 1911 summer term will begin on
Monday, July 10, and the prospect for
a large attendance is very good in
deed. The two recitation plan for
work will be continued this year as
before, thus the work done during this
term will be in every way the equiv
alent of that done during the other
terms of the year. The three counties
joining with the normal are the same
as before, namely, Trail Steele and
Nelson. The recent death of Superin-
tendent Skrivseth of Nelson county
takes away the last of the three men
who have been with the normal for
several years past and these will be
missed. However, they have worthy
successors whose wise cooperation
will assure the same e4rnestness of
purpose as has characterized this
schoo.
Several members of the faculty have
been out of town for the vacation. Miss
Dunlap has been at her home in Iowa,
Mr. Tharaldsen attended the meeting
of the grand lodge A. r. & A. M. at
Grand Forks, Miss Brant and her
