This is no Lio.
We have a little ston that we bore
all those people who are eternally harp
ing on the wickedness of'drummers'
will read and reflect on. We have met
hundreds of people, who, if you tell
them a certain man-say a stranger—ia
a drummer, w'll hold up their hands in
their horror and declare that there can
be nothing good about him. In other
words.no matter how much of a gentle
man he may be, the mere fact of his be
ing a drummer d—ns him forever.
A little fact lias come under our ob
servation that shows what infernal
foolishness it is to judge a man by his
looks.
The other day we were on the Chica
go and Eastern Illinois road, starting
on a shooting trip. Just in front of us
were two women—we won't call them
ladies, for they were of the stripe of
women who are regular fanatics and
always know more than anybody else,
especially about other people's business.
With them was a poor, hen-pecked
looking man, who was probably the
husband of one of them. At a station
there got on the car a nice look ins man
with a large fl it valise in each hand.
He was will dressed, wore a duster .and
had a good, honest face. He had a
sandy beard and light hair,and his face
was florid, as is always the case with
men of his style. He nodded bis bead
in our direction, and sat quietly down
in one of the front seats, anil commenc
ed reading the paper.
Then the women commenced.
'Did you see that nasty drummer git
on y said number one.
'Yes,' said number two, 'I jist de
spise them. They go around like a
pack of wolves and they do anything
that's mean and low ; I wouldn't trust
one of 'em a minute.'
'How do yon know ho is a drummer?'
meekly interposed the hen-pecked hus
band.
'Know ? How do I know ?' said
number one. 'Why. N can tell 'em as
far as I can see 'em. Tliera things
they call grip sacks give 'em away.
This fellow has got two. I guess he's
got a lot of samples in one and a biir
whisky bottle, and a puck of cards, and
a whole lot of nasty pictures of women,
and a whole lot of letters from girls all
over the country in the other one. Oh,
I pity his poor wife.'
•How do you know he's mariied ?'
ventured the husband.
'Know! Why them fellows have got
wives all over the country. They ji.st
bewitch these innocent girls and mar
ry 'em, and then go off on trips and
leayes 'em, but they generally have one
poor wife and a lot of children off East
somewhere, and the poor tiling has to
support 'em all, while the drummer is
gaddin' 'round the country playin'
cards.'
4 Yes,' said number two. 4 You're
jist ripht; they ouphter all be in the
penitentiary. They're a denraved set.
Now, just look at that fellow's face.
vSee how red it is ? I'll bet he drinks a
quart of whiskey evpry day. I never
seen anything so red in my life. Now,
I just know he's pot a big flask in
each of them sample cases. And do
you see the cheek he had to bow to us
when he came in, and here we never
saw hira bffore, the cheeky wretch.'
Now, we happened to know the pen
tleman, and new his business, and we
thoupht it a pood chance to put in our
oar, especially as it was to us he nodde
and probably never noticed the virtu
ous females atall.so pnttinp on a sweet
smile, we leaned forward and said :
4 Ladies, I see you know somethinp of
the world. Drummers area hard set,
aren't they ?'
They looked at ns a moment, and
then said : 4 \ es. sir, I hope you doi-'t
associate with them.'
4 Ob, no, madam, not for the world. 1
liye down in Evansville, and down
there the people won't walk on the
same side of the street with them at
all.' (How was this for pall from a fel
low that went on the road when only
seventeen, and drummed ten years ?
4 Well.rm plad they treat 'em as they
deserve down in Evansville. Do you
know that whiskey faced feller up in
front ?'
4 4 Never saw him before.' said we with
a truthful air ; 'but I'd just like to play
a trick on him and make him show
• those whiskey bottles he's got in his
yalises.'
'Oh, wouldn't that he nice.' said one;
'how could you do it ?'
'You just leave it to mo,'we went on.
'l'll rope him hack here, and tell him
that two ladies are very much interest
ed in him, and it will be just like his
cheek to come back and open his valises
and show you a lot of letters from trirts
just to show you what a masher he is.'
'Oh, how nice,' they cried, clapping
thefr hands with glee. 'You get him
back.'
We went forward and simply said to
the alleged drummer; 'Henson, there
are two nice Christian ladies back there
who want to look at your samples. I
think they can helo you along.'
Henson threw down his paper and
grabbed his valises, and came back. lie
threw back a seat and while opening
the yalises said.
'Ladies, I thank you for sending for
me. lam a Mil ford, and of course I
don't get much salary, and during my
summer vacation I try to make
a little money for my wife and
babies by working on commis
sion for the American Bible Society ;
now. do you see any of these that you
like?'and he thiew oppn both valises
completely filled with copies of the Bi
ble. from the cheapest up to the nicely
bound ones that are usually kept on
centre tables.
What the women said wedon't know;
we lit out for another car ; we don't
want to be snatcned bald beaded, but
we bad a kind of a sweet feeling that
we hud shown those vinegar-faced fp
maleg'that you cau't always toH.'
ADVICE T MOTHERS.
