The Drummer. 4lIt is a hard life, that of the drum mer," said one, to whom thirty years of hard work has given the right to speak with authority. "It's a hard life, but it's an interesting one, aud it gives a man a close hold on hard facts and realities. The drummer learns in a hard school, but he does learn, and the lessons pay. What is the first lesson he has to learn? How to man age men; how to approach a reluc tant, or an indifferent, or suspicious buyer, eo as to be in his condidence and overcome his indisposition. ' Experience teaches this better than anything else, though some men learn it more easily than others. I remem ber when I began to travel as sales manon my very first trip, I think it was, when I was hardly more than a lad I had an experience that proved very valuable to me. There was one fellow on my route who hai been known for years as the terror of all traveling men. He was declared to be absolutely the worst mannered fellow they had ever met anywhere, but I hadn't even heard of him then, and so. I entered his store very confi dently and handed him my card. He took it without even glancing at it, tore it into bits and threw the pieces on the floor. "Now sir," he said, turning to me, 'get out of my store.' There were two pretty young girls in the store who did not understand the proceeding, and who looked at me as I walked out as if I were an escaped convict. "Well, I smarted for several days over that affair, during which time I made up my mind that I'd even mat ters up with him if I could next time. So before I started out I had a card made expressly for my good friend. It looked exactly like the one I had used before, only it was made of tin. When I reached his town I waited until 1 saw the store pretty well filled with people, and then I walked in, saluted the proprietor, and gave him my eard. He took it, just as before, glared at me, and gave the card a tist. But it didn't fall on the floor in bits this time, and he only succeeded in giving his wrist a wrench and rais ing a titter among the customers. "I was nearly out of the door by this time, for I really didn't think my life was safe, but he called after me and I went back. "Come into my office,' he said. I went in expecting never to come out. 'What do you want to sell me?" he asked. "Dress goods," I aBked. "Well go on," and I actually sold the old curmudgeon $1,000 worth of clothes before I left. For years after as long as he lived, in fact he was one of my best customers and one of the . best friends I ever made in my business." Death in the Desert. Sau Diego Union. It has just come to light that a party of Chinese, who last week at tempted to smuggle themselves into the United States from Lower Cali fornia got lost on the. desert and had - a terrible experience, one of the party dying of i thirst and exposure. They found the frontier so closely guarded: , that they ' stole a march toward the ' east ward and got into the ' desert. Here; they got lost and wandered aimlessly: around for several days, Buffering unutterable agonies.' One of the Mongolians wad a youth of some fourteen years. He gave out under the terrible suffering and be came crazy. In his ravings he imag ined the blistering sands were limped water and eagerly filled his parched mouth wifh the burning particles. This only added to bis horrors and pretty Boon he lay down to die his companions being in too pitiable a condition to render him any assist ance. Here they heaped a pile of sand upon him and left him alone to sleep his last long slumber, while they, with swollen tongue, aching limbs, and heavy hearts continued , their aimless wanderings lost in a j trackless desert. It is asserted that , they at last reached the railroad j and soon reached Los Angeles minus : everything they had attempted to bring into the country except the' clothes unnn their hacks Thnv hud ' thrown away the bundles containing ' the many things the Chinese hold . dear, including a large quantity of i opium, all of which mark their track upon the waste of sands. As the almond eyed one have a sys tem of spreading information among themselves, it is quite likely this ter rible experience will serve to prevent any more of them attempting to in vade the United States via the desert route. Xuts For Criminal Lawyers. Cornhill Magazine. Prisoner was being tried for mur der; evidence against him purely cir cumstantial; part of it a hat found near the scene of the crime; an ordi nary round, black hat but sworn to as the prisoner's. Counsel for the de fence of course made much of the ccommonne8s of the hat. "Yon gen tlemen no doubt, each of you, pos sess such a hat, of the most ordinary make and shape. Beware how you condemn a fellow creature to a shame ful death on such a piece of evidence, and so on." So the man was acquit ted. Just as he was leaving the dock with the most touching humility and simplicity he pulled his hair and said: "If you please, ray lord, may I 'ave my 'at?" A Sermon in Five Lines. By Morris Waite. 'It takes so little to make a child happy that it is a pity, in a world full of sunshine and pleasant things, that there should be any wistful faces, empty hands or any lonely young hearts." I found these words in an old news paper the other day. They were headed "A Sermon in Five Lines" and they came from home to me with all the force of a personal ap peal. "It takes so little to make a child happy " How many times I had seen the most trival incident lift my own little boy into the very ecatacy of hap piness. How often would some sim ple gift or a song or a story chase the tears from his eyes and bring the bright smiles to his face. And yet, I thought with a pang of regret, how many times I hal chided him need lessly; how many times I had refused to exert myself at all for his sake. That very night he had gone to bed with a heavy heart because I would not romp with him. I was too tired, I said. I stepped into the boy's room before I went to bed that night,and passing my hand over his flaxen hair as he lay asleep, I resolved that in the fu ture I would be a better father to him. "It is a pity that there should be any wistful faces, empty hands or lonely young hearts," I thought as I dropped asleep. I remember that later in the night I was dreaming of visiting a great factory and inspect ing the machinery. A Real Gentleman. Old Homestead. To a sensible woman a gentleman ought to be the equal of auy one that wears a title, no matter what his rank or what his nation may be. . To be a thorough gentleman is to be that which neither money no? estates nor insignia can buy, It is peculiarly a birthright. It is inherited in the blood, and sure ..to, make its appear ance even under the most unpropiti- ous circumstances. . There is a sort of false gentility that is soon acquired and is alected by snods and parvenus that have suddenly accumulated riches, but this Is a very cheap device in comparison with the sterling ar ticle. No one can be deceived by the counterfeit, because the came of the real gentleman does not alon consist of entering a drawingroom gracefully or of making a bow in the r'ght form. These accomplishments may be ne cessary in order to help one to fix his position in polite society, but they are really nothing compared to those graces of mind, manner?, and morals that a true gentleman is sure to jos sess. A good definition of a real gen tleman is one that adheres closely to the spirit of the wise utterance of the Saviour: " herefore all things what soever e would that men should do to you. do ve even so uuto tueiu A strict following of this golden prec pt is infinitely bettar for the individual and society thin all the finished bow ings and scrapings under the sun. On the Other Foot. I don t need any advertising. I have more trade than I can attend to. I really have not the time to talk about advertising; come in again. "Hold on! wouldn't you like to take a rest for a few days?'' "Yes, indeed, I would if I had the time." "Well, we will just say in the News today that you have more trade than you can attend to at present and re quest the people not to " "No! no! don't say anything like that. If you do I'll sue .you for dam ages; that is advertising in the wroDg way." "If one way does damage, would not the opposite way be beneficial?" "How is this? Does the News charge me for that little readiDg no tice when I am a regular advertiser?'' "Why certainly, it is all advertis ing. Do you charge for a little thing like thread when a lady buys a dress?" The shoe is soon shifted Exchange. A Leavenworth man proposes to wager any sum between $10,000 and $50,000 that within thirty days he can walk from Leavenworth to Junc tion City, and never take his feet off mortgaged ground, except when crossing a public road or railway.
