O I o any sort of change was a
X k welcome one. Tlie monot
TOTr ony of tbe ship-slop of the
. tnolnsses-hogahend's bung
ras accentuated by the tedium of tho
everlasting gab of the old men who
at behind the stove. There were also
the never-censing complaints at the
iwlcket by the patrons whose mall
averaged a postal-card and a medicine
circular a week. I wanted to be out
nd away.
From the outside the job of a sewing
machine agent looked like a fairly
pleasant one. The agents that drove
onr way rode In handsomely painted
wagons, and the harness was pretty
well nickeled up. I questioned one of
these agents one day. He told mo that
for folks who liked that kind of ft
business It would bo just the kind of
business they would like. But that
didn't discourage me. Tho general
agent of a sewlng-mnchlne company
came along thnt way to collect some
old snngs of bills, and I hired with
lilm. Father and brother helped me
by "going on" a bond of one thousand
dollars. The company fitted me out
.with a snmple mnchlne. horse and
team, and put mo with another agent
to lenrn the business.
A man who couldn't lenrn the busi
ness with that fellow wouldn't be able
to lenrn anything. It seems strange
thnt I never hnve beard from or about
hlra in late years. A star of his lu
minosity ought to be shining above
the business horizon with an efful
gence to be seen of all men.
First of all. he taught me how to
lev plain, but especially how to use
the "attachments."
"That's whnt catches the women
folks every time." snld he; "the at
tachments. They'll never use them In
a dog's age, but they must have them.
Yon would think, to hear tho women
talk, thnt they were buying the ma
chine so as to tuck and ruffle and hem
nd furbelow. So yon must give them
all the tricks of the mnohlne. And yon
must also sew the bnby's old shoe, and
run a cigar-box cover through under
the trend, and take a few stitches In
a tin enn, not necessarily because tin
cans are to be fashlonnble articles
ef apparel next season, but because
It is a guarantee of good faith. And
It also gives the agent an opportunity
to talk. Never stop talking. Keep
your vocal treadle going."
Well, after a few days of Instruc
tion, Carter that was his name took
me out for a canvassing trip. He
picked one side of the street in tbe
village where we landed, and 1 took
the other side. Thnt was so I could
watch him and see how he did it. Ho
directed mo to Veep my eye on him.
Be told me he had been selling sewing
machines ever since he was big enough
to lug one of the old-fashioned hand
crank ones Into a country sitting
room. Therefore, like a dutiful pupil, 1
stood on the other side of the street
and watched him. Cater yanked
briskly on the door-bell knob, and
It grated out ynwklngly. I always was
Imaginative. Tbe sound of that bell
attnehment made mo wager in my
mind that an ugly woman lived in
that house. But Carter seemed valiant
enough. He braced bnck his shoul
ders, tugged at the lapels of his coat,
pulled out an advertising-card, cleared
bis throat and waited. The woman of
the house rattled at tbe key Inside,
end then opened tbe door. She had
one of those squnre beads with tittle
wispy fringes of balr bobbing on her
forehead.
"Good-afternoon, madam," said Car
ter, speaking clearly so that I might
near him, "This is lovely weather for
this time of year. Here is my card.
I have bnd a letter from my people
In New York asking me to call and
see you, I would like to explain our
ewlng-mnchlne "
Tho woman slammed the door in bis
face, and both of us beard tbe bolt of
the lock go "click." She didn't say
word. Carter looked at the door a
moment, and then turned around and
looked at me. I luugbed. I could feel
tbe red go up over my face at tbe
ume time, because I was embarrassed
for bis sake. But Carter only grim
aced. He grinned over at me as though
ho were enjoying it. I wondered how
bo could have tbe heart to be chip
per. "Business woman, Isn't sher ha re
marked, cheerfully, "Guess, I'll be
obliged to soil her a machine now,
anyway."
He walked right around to the back
door, and I sidled down tbe aldewalk
ao as to keep my eye on b'.m. There
svas no bell at tbe back door, so be
rapped good and bard. Tin woman
yanked tbe door opon, and said souie

door, but Carter stuck his toe in. He
was smiling very sweetly. He had one
of the most innocent and winning
smiles you ever saw.
Jiy aear maunm," lie said, "you
must have misunderstood me a mo
ment ago, but I'm sure a woman of
your standing in the community would
not be rude to a gentleman. I assure
you I did not ask you for a piece of
cold pumpkin-pie. It may have sound
ed as though I snld that, but believe
me. that was not the idea at all."
The woman started to say something,
but Carter didn't give ber tbe oppor
tunity, "I prny you don't don't npologlse,
madam," ho cried. "It's all right
Ladies do frequently think I am ask
ing for cold pie. Perfectly natural mls
tnke, I assure you. You will note
that when I smile I have a real coaxing
mouth for pic."
Carter gnve the woman one of bis
sweetest efforts in the smile line.
"But I mustn't bother you by talking
about pie," lie continued. "You un
derstand I'm really here on business.
You know there are different kinds of
business. I would prefer to be run
ning a New York department atore,
and have my customers come to me,
but in the stress of present circum
stances I am obliged to go to my
customers. I do not enjoy transacting
business on the door-step, for the neigh
bors nro very inquisitive in nil places.
It is ridiculous what stories tbe neigh
bors will stnrt sometimes. Once I was
kept talking on tbe door-step for some
time, nnd it got reported around the
plnco thnt the So-and-sos wero bard
up financially, for an agent of a col
lecting firm bad been at tbeir place,
and a real wrangle occurred on the
door-step. I very much prefer to do
all my talking in the house." Again
did Carter lavish his radiant smile.
His manner wns -so ingratiating nnd
his quiet waggisbness so won upon
her that sho relaxed her bold on tbe
door. He took off bis bat, and saying
"By your leave!" he went in. As the
door closed I could bear him start in
on his sewing-machine "oration."
I walked slowly along, pondering
that in all probability tho woman
would annihilate him as soon as she
got him cornered in the sitting-room.
I couldn't understand the gall of a man
who could do tbe thing thnt Carter had
Just maneuvered. I looked back once
or twice, half expecting Carter to come
flying out through one of the windows.
But whatever the tragedy that was oc
curring within, the outsido walls gave
no sign.
Carter hnd told me that when he was
safely Inside tbe bouse I was to go and
do likewise. "Just follow my band,"
was what he said.
Itcally, I had half a mind to jump
the whole busiucss right then and
there. I couldn't picture myself brac
ing through such an ordeal as Carter
hnd Just faced so valiantly. I saw a
womon sitting in tho window of the
first bouse on my way. I hurried past
that bouse, as I dldu't have the heart
to walk up the steps. But setting my
teeth, I went to tho front door of
the next bouse, and rang the bell.
I tried to get a smile on my face as
I bad seen Carter do. I am rather
sour-visnged. I was twisting my face
around for the proper expression, when
the door was suddenly flung open, nnd
there stood tbe woman of tbe house.
By tbe manner in which my face was
working she must have concluded I
hod St. Vitus' dance. She looked
frightened. I was so embarrassed
that my usually sour countenance
must have seemed demoniac. I had
been thinking of Carter's speech to the
other woman, trying to remember how
funny it bad sounded. I hoped to bring
up a smile in that way. Now, In my
excitement, I blurted out, "Ah, good
morning, madam; tills is a lovely after
noon. You may think by my looks
thnt I want a sewing-machine to eat,
but I assure you I have called merely
to sell you some pie. I that is "
Well, you ought to have seen that
woman look at me. I could tell from
ber eye that she tbougbt I lived in a
padded cell at home. But I kept my
self from falling off the steps, and be
fore tbe woman bad time to escape, I
blundered out tbe whole story how I
bad been watching Carter down the
street, and how I bad mixed up what
be bad said to tbe other woman. It
tickled ber. She was a brisk little
woman, with a snappy way of speak
ing, and she invited me right In, and
wanted me to tell tbe story over to
some women who were calling. I
made a real bit. v
Before tbe laugh died out tbe woman
confided that It was queer I should
come along that day, for she had been
thinking aboot getting a now ma
chine. Ob, didn't I talk to that woman
then! If I could aell a machine,
wouldn't I now over Carter, tba aid
'Hngef." WUfflTTpaa UTI eS TiftT afoUWoT
to the point where she said she would
look at the machine, I concluded that
I had struck the one proper vocation
of my life. I bustled out, ran down
to the hotel, and drove our team up t
tbe woman's door. I unloaded the ma
chine, and ten mlnntes later bad made
arrangements to leave It-three weeks
on trial. The woman said she knew
well enough she .would like it, and
would keep it. - -
Then I treated myself to a cigar,
nnd waited at the hotel for Carter to
show up. I walked to meet hlra wltk
my hat on one side.
"Well, I snld her a machine," snld
he, running his fingers nronnd inside
his collar, and then wiping his brow.
"Whnt? Not that royal Asiatic
tiger!" I cried.
"To that same rampageous female,"
he replied, with immense satisfaction.
"We'll drive up nnd deliver it"
"Well, I've been doing some business
on my own hook," I snld. "I sold the
machine we brought with us, and I
have delivered it."
"Cash or installment?" Carter asked,
looking at me In some astonishment.
"Well, the whole trade Isn't exactly
clenched," I admitted, "but it's the
same thing. She hna taken it for three
weeks on trial, and says she'll probably
keep it"
"Who?"
"Mrs. refer Scott lives up nearly
opposite your woman."
First Carter sat down and laughed,
then he made some remarks that were
extremely ungentlemanly. I didn't
like such talk, and I told him as
much.
"Yon blamed fool," he shouted,
"that woman has worked every sewing-machine
agent who has come along
when he has been gullible enough.
It's ber old trick. She will never buy
a sewing-machine, for she doesn't need
one. She does her sewing each season
on the machines that the fool agents
leave there on trial. Now you go right
up and take back that machine. She'll
claw you down in good shape, but it
will tench you to look out for tbe
guides after this. You'll find as a
general rule that the really good cus
tomers always cut up rough at tbe
start-off. Now bustle right up and get
thnt machine."
I refused to go, but Carter Insisted.
I snld I'd throw' up my Job, but. Car
ter reminded me of some of the items
in my bond. So there was no help
for it, and I set oft up tbe street.
I found the woman bard at work
at tho machine. She was making the
most of the golden moments. I sup
pose Carter, with bis tact and knowl
edge of the business, could have eased
the machine away without the riot
that I pcrclpitated. Carter told me
afterward that be could have pro
vided me with half a dozen little tricks
that experienced agents play to get
machines away from suspicious par-
tics, but be wanted me to be dressed
down in good shape. He said it' was
the only way to learn tbe sewing-machine
business, I learned right there
in ten minutes with that woman more
facts of a personal nature than some
young men find out in a college course.
When I discovered thnt I was no good
in joint debnte, I simply dared fate
and picked up the machine. Did you
ever see a king-bird tackle a crow.
nnd chase the big fellow down across
the sky? Well, that was itl Sha
buzzed around me, nnd cuffed my ears
all the way to the front gate. It was
extremely amusing for the neighbors
and for Carter, who stood looking on.
In the years since then I have tackled
cross husbands, made collections un
der tho guns, raced rlvnl agents, steeled
my heart and taken machines away
from the poor and tho wretched, forced
by grim orders from headquarters,
but under no circumstances have I
ever felt so wholly like passing in my
resignation as I did when I staggered
up to the wagon with that hornet in
petticoats giving me things that are
not served at five o'clock teas. Why
did I stay In tbo business? Well, I
belonged to the State militia, nnd the
first principle of soldiering is never
to resign under fire. Woman's Horn

purse, embroidered by my own hands."
"Madam," replied the doctor, coldly,
"medicine Is no trivial affair, nnd our
visits are only to be rewarded in
money. Small presents serve to sus
tain friendships; but they do net sus
tain our families."
"But, doctor," said the lady, nlnrmei

Farming In tha City.
Eight hundred Philadelphia families
are now earning a portion of their live
lihood In some cases all of it by the
cultivation of vacant city lots, says a
writer in Harper's Weekly. At tho
close of last season nearly 200 acres,
divided into small lots, were being cul
tivated, the number of bcnoflclurles
being 8770. The product, valued at
$00,000, was grown at a cost of less
than $U00O to the association which In
stituted the scheme. Tho enterprise!
demonstrates that permission to culti
vate land in tho neighborhood of great
cities can be mado a source of income
to thousands who, though willing to
work, are unable, by reason of physical
infirmities or advanced ago, to coin
