A DRUMMER'S EXPERIENCE.
Traveled as a Clergyman But Did Not

".lust come from St. Louis." remarked
a well known commercial traveler, as
he alighted from the train, "and had
.f the funniest experiences of my
lite on the way up."
"Relate it. and be quick." replied his
fellow-drummer, win. was about to
catch a train.
"Well, you know Mandlebuum, the
ticket scalp, r." replied Hie other. "Just
as I was about to board the train he
came i.c and offered to sell me a tirs;
. lass ticket for so low a figure that I
was obliged to take it for strictly bus?
iness reasons. My time was limited.
and 1 neglected to look at the nan.f
th.'iginul purchaser, so I boarded the
ttain and took possession of a seat in
tin- smoker. First came a cigar, and
then, being thirsty. 1 took ..ut that old
llask of mine from the satchel and pro?
ceeded to quench my thirst in good old
fashion, d style.
"All the time the conductor kept his
.?yes ..n nie and at times whispered to
the hrakeman. who was sitting quite

on the run. and consequently 1 did not
pay much attention to them. 1 then
got mixed up in a hot game of seven-up
and told one or two stories which would
not pass the ordeal of press censorship.
Finally, the conductor cam.- around
and whispered in my ear. .He asked
tu.- how the Sunday school was getting
along, and allowed that church matters
were brightening up a bit in my sec?
tion of the country. His talk was all
Creek to me. but I managed to look
wise until we reached (.'hicago.
"The w hole. business dawned on me
then. He told me 1 should have been
more circumspect on the journey up."
and warned me against one of my con?
gregation. ' He said it was a bad fiu?p
for a clergyman to smoke, play ..
anil drink whiskey from a Hash in f?ll
view of the passengers on board a
train. I asked him if he knew who I
was. and he pulled the scalper ticket
from his pocket and informed me that
I was the Rev. Mr. Phineas Bascom. of
Hannibal. Mo. I have made up my
mind never to buy another scalper's
ticket from Mandlebaum."
NEW YORK OPINION OF BOSTON.
Tart Reply of a Gotham Newspaper to
a Critic.
i New York Times.)
An amiable friends writes to us. la?
menting what he mistakenly calls the
"niikiinluess" of certain remarks ab:?il
Boston that have appeared in this col?
umn fro mtimc to time since the war
with Spain began. His letter closes
with the words: "Boston is the Ath?
ens of America: you can't deny that."
Perhaps we don't want to. Let's see.
Athens, like Boston, is a city of a
great and glorious?past. Athens, like
Boston, more or less, has produced
many illustrious sons-soldiers and
sailors of dauntless courage, philoso?
phers with mighty minds, statesmen
abb- i.i found nations in deserts, poets,
sculptors, painters, architects with
whom rivalry seems almost hopeless.
Tit.- world-famed Athenians, like the
world-famed Bostonians. are all dead,
ami report hath it that in each of these
towns the ghosts regard the living pop?
ulation with consternation verging on
despair m l git i tl lots of room n the
silowalk. Considering all this we ate
willing to admit our amiable friend's
contention..if he really wants us to do
so. and even to put his assertion in the
most explicit form. Boston was to
America what Athens was to Greece:
Boston is to America what Athens L
to Greece. Now. is he content, or does
he realize that bis plea was decidedly
mote "unkind" than our criticisms?
WHAT TO WRITE PUZZLED HIM.
The presence of a hotel guest who is
able to write, but yet has traveled so
little that he couldn't perform the sim?
ple act ..!' registering-, is a novel- on ?
and yet that is just what happened in a
Washington uptown hotel one day last
w.ek, says the Washington Times.
The individual in question was -a
plainlooking elderly man with fairly
good clothes, though not stylish, and
hi's whole air bespoke him a granger. It
is quite likely that he had never before
sp.-nt a night in all his life away from
the farm. With him was a woman
nearly of the same age. who was un?
questionably his wife. When the polite
clerk gave the stranger from the rural
districts a 'pen and shoved the register
to him, the latter looked visibly embar?
rassed, but he took the pen and bent
over the book as though he had nerved
himself to some desperate task.
He started to write ami then stopped
and began to think. The clerk. of
course, didn't know what the trouble
was. or else he would have volunteered
his services. After a painful paus,, the
ruralist started in to scratching once
mot-,-, hut h,. hadn't gone far before h,
mad.- another balk. Fortunately [here
was a,, mi,, else waiting to put down
his autograph.
Att.-r the expiration of fully five min?
utes the farmer threw down his pen
with a sigh of relief, wiped the perspir?
ation from bis brow and rejoined his
belter half, who bad been waiting in
tie- lobby during all the ordeal. The
room clerk was curious to see a signa
lure that required such an unusual
length of time to execute. The room
clerk is a solemn man, but he nearly
w.-tii ..if into a tit when he saw. In big.
c und s.-ript. this legend:

HARVEST WORK SIMPLIFIED.
Invention Which Makes ["arming Al?
most a Pleasure tor Farmers.
J. W. Conroy, who operates a large
farm near Ottawa. Canada, has devised
a wonderful contrivance in the line of
harvesting machinery. Although the
reaper and hinder, which cuts and bun?
dles the grain at the sane- time, was
in bygone days regarded as a wonderful
invention, it is now a machine of such
common use that it excites little or no
comment". Mr. County's .iirivano
raises anew the astonishment which
has largely died out.
The new machine cuts the grain and
thrashes it simultaneously. 11 is start?
ed in a 1'edd in the morning and at
night the grain can be taken to i he el?
evator, and the field is ready to lie
plowed once more. The grain is cm by
a bar similar to that on a mow ing ma?
chine, from which il is thrown upon a
sheet of canvas arranged on rollers
and taken up into the thresher. There
it is thrashed and windowed and then
carried to the opposite side of the ma?
chine, where it falls into bags, which,
as they till up, are in turn tied up an.!
thrown off. The work is done perfectly.
The grain can be eut at any height re?
quired, c.s out absolutely el, an and
there is no waste. Under ordinary cir?
cumstances fifteen acres a day can eas?
ily 'be cut. Tin- machine is somewhat
complicated, but it is very simple to
work, two men onlv being required to
handle it. while four horses will draw
one large enough to have a six-foot cut?
ting bar.
Air. Conroy is entirely satisfied with
the work done by Iiis new machine,
and expects to see it generally adopted
by farmers operating large pieces of
I land.
HE WAS JUST IIOA1E FROM CUBA.
"I had a mightly interesting time in
Cuba," said the man whose was di?
vided from the back of his neck by a
thick fring,- of hair, according ;,,
lb,- Washington Star.
??Wer,- you with the army'.'" inquired
a commercial traveler, who had tilted
bis chair against a tree just ,,inside th ?
hotel.
"(if course." replied the first speaker,
spreading his feet apart ami swaying
backward and forward. "That's what
made it exciting."
"I didn't see you mentionel in any >?:'
tin- reports." remarked the person "who
is always making an effort to humble
j somebody's pride.
i "oh. I've been mentionel in a lol of
them," was the genial reply. "People
who know- anything about such mat?
ters admit that some of the best work
of the campaign was don,- by me. One
of the best things 1 did was to take
a. Spanish officer and seven privates."
"All by yourself?"
"Certainly. 1 didn't have a bit of as?
sistance. The m-xt day 1 went out and
took a lot of cavalrymen."
"How many'.'" inquired th, skeptic,
whose face showed traces of mingled
surprise and suspicion.
"Oh. 1 didn't stop to count 'em."
"Didn't you get wounded ?" asked,
the man who was leaning against the
tree.
"On,-,, or twiee I got a little scratch
such as a man is always liable to get
when he is knocked around in that
way. The next ibing 1 did when I go:
through with the cavalrymen was to
take a lot of commissary wagons be?
longing to the Spanish, and I followed
that up by taking a castle on the morn?
ing of the next day. and a fort in lb.
afternoon."
"Mister." said the disagreeable man.
slowly and with indignation, "here in
Washington we see some of th,- finesl
specimens of almost anything you can
call to mind, but I wish to state, and I
may remark incidentally thai 1 came
from Texas, and fully realize the re?
sponsibility I assume, that you are the
biggest liar who ever walked on Penn?
sylvania avenue."
Th,- good-natured reeonteur looked
very angry for a moment, but the ex?
pression of his face gradually mellowed
into one of geltle reproach, lie mere?
ly answered:
"I aint anything of the kind. I'm a
photograph, r."
A CLEVER OLD SALT.
Here is an interesting story of a New
Zealand skipper, says Spare Moments
The town of Greymouth. in Tasmania,
grew very fast, and mines of coal as
well as gold were opened, trade sprang
up with Hobart. and a genial skipper
?from that port entertained all hearers
at Hie hotel with glowing accounts of
the beauty of the Hobart girls.
Ladies were scarce in Ilms,- early
days, and the fun waxing fast each
one in joke com missioned the skipper
to bring him a wife next lime at L2o
passage money.
The ship sailed and the joke was
forgotten by the would-be wits, but
not by the skipper: that astute old sal:
calculated that young ladies at
each passage money paid heller than
timber or potatoes even, so he went
over, and with glowing accounts of the
rich bachelors at Greymouth waiting
for wives, persuaded about a dozen Ho?
bart girls to go out on speculation to
order.
Arriving at Greymouth. he calmly re?
ported to each Joker -horror stricken
specially were the married one?thai
the commission was executed, and the
consignment to hand- C20 to pay.
Twenty pounds was not much to pay
in those days for such a good joke, es?
pecially one of a delicate nature that
required hushing up, so nearly all paid
up and laughed. The sweet young II,,
bartians soon got husbands or situa?
tions, and all ended well.
