this remedy, attest the world-wide rep
utation of Ayer's Pills. Leading phy
sicians recommend these pills .for
Stomach and Liver Troubles, Costive
ness, Biliousness and Siclr Headache ;
also, for Eheumatism, Jaundice, and
Neuralgia. They are sugar-coated ; con
tain no calomel ; are prompt, but mild,
in operation ; and, therefore, the very
best medicine for Family Use, as vrell aa
for Travelers and Tourists.
"I have derived great relief from
Ayer's Pills. Five years ago I was
taken so ill "with
Rheumatism
that I was unablo to do any work. I
took three boxes of Ayer's Pills and
was entirely 'cured. Since that time I
am never without a box of these pills."
Peter Christensen, Sherwood, "Wis.
" Ayer's Pills have been in use in my

I am in receipt of tlie following
letter:
Coxcordia, Kan., Aug. 22, 1889.
Mr. WriiiiiAM Nyk: Knowing that
you are a friend of the travelling man,
we do not hesitate to ask your opinion
or advice as to what course we should
pursue in a matter of vital impor
tance to us. The proprietor of the
Hallibert House, Bed Cloud, Neb.,
the leading hostlery there, insists
upon cutting one pie in sixteen
pieces, which only gives one-sixteenth
of a pie to the commercial
man. We have remonstrated with
him about this, but without avail.
What shall we do about it? Please
advise us. Yours amitatively.
Will Reed,
Habby Hicks,
George Thompson,
E. O. Lindsay.
. BEPDY.
AsHBvrMiE, N. 0., Sept. 15, 1889.
Messrs. Reed, Hicks, Thompson and
Lindsay, at large.
Gentlemen: Your favor, dated at
Concordia, Kan., 22d ult, is now in
front ot me as I write. I hate to
come iu between the commercial
man and the hotels in a case of this
kind, especially in order to monkey
with relations that are already
strained, and yet something ought to
be said at this'time or we may easily
foresee tbatjhe "overworked Ameri
can pie wilTat lengthbe compelled
by reason or,hraiu B abandon
the prouUp16aifnVhicn it now holds
relative to oar interstate commerce.
I would 'like to - treat this matter
in a way to insure -harmony between
the travelling man and the hotel, if
possible; and yet I must confess that
I cannot refer to pie in a purely un
partisan spirit. Pie, I may truth
fully say, seems to lie nearer my
heart at times than, anything else
within the great realm of groceries.
I know that commercial men are
prone to ask too muoh of the hqtels
at times, and thus they inflame the
proprietors. I have known of many
such instanoes in whioh the tourist
was clearly in the wrong; bnt the out
rages were always perpetrated by
traveling men whose early lives had
been paBsed in obscurity. They were
men who knew how to catch a train
or to tell in a rich union-depot tone
of voice how many goods they sold in
that town, but they do not adorn so
ciety very much, These are the ex
ception, however. They are men who
represent small houaea, and sleep on
four seats in the day-coach, with their
feet on the velvet colar of tho un
assuming capitalist who sits in the
adjoining pew,
.But I was a traveling man once for
two weeks, and I have always sym
pathized with those who followed
this business for a livelihood. For
some years I had yearned to be com
mercial man with a sorrel traveling
bag and a bold signature. I inti
mated to several large concerns that
my services could be sectored at a
nominal figure, but there is nothing
so puffed up or so egotistical as a
prosperous business house, and so
they continued to struggle on with
out me.
Finally, I went on the road iu the
interests of Warner's White Wine
and Tar Syrup a peparation that
would take on old pair of second
hand lungs and brighten them up so
that a man needn't be ashamed to
dress up in them and wear them into
the best sooiety.
People say that traveling men are
too forward and too bold, and ought
4o db a little more of the blush-unseen
business, but I found when I
was on the road that I had to be
bold, especially at the hotels, for the
clerks wereTjoldj the porters were
bold, and the dfmng-room girls were
also in several instanoes extremely
so. If I did not demand the bridal
chamber I generally got tea chest No.
6, with no knob on the door, and
when I would -punch the button on
the denunciator it would fall off with
a low tremulous sound and roll under
the bed.
Speaking of door knobs reminds
me of a hotel man in Washington
'territory who has a Dovel' way of
keepingth'ese handles .clean at a
slight expense. He has knobs on all
doors and they are bo arranged that
they may be easily removed. Hie has
two Bets for the house one set be
ing white and the other a dappled
bay. When one Bet gets soiled he
removes -the knobs, placing them in
4hesoatTdishes of the various rooms.
"where the guests- rinse them out
thoroughly in a vain attempt to get a
lather out of them. After they are
dried the proprietor replaces them
on the 'd66rs 'and tie soiled set go
into the soap disheH. This hotel is
now called thedopr knob chop house,
and with the slippery elm towel
uuopiea mere u.poiisn is given to
the guest -whioh he might otherwise
never secure.1
Gentlemen,in conclusion, I hardly
know what to sayttmless it be to add
mat wnstever you may aeciae to do
toward" the gratification bf. this great
pie evil, provided you do not actually
endanger human life, you may safely
rely upon me and count me in. Pie
enters, into the life; ot every true
American, andean unfair division of
pie will certainly lead to open hostil
ity, and possibly intestine war. Do
not 'trust the man who rob3 you of
your pie in order that he may thrust
it into his own corrupt system.
The tendency of the age seems to
be towards the centralization of pie.
This is bound to make the thin man
thinner and the fat man fatter. From
statistics now in my hands I have
ascertained that we have enough pie
in America, if properly distributed,
to give to each adult, exclusive of
Indians not taxed, one-eighth of a full
grown-pie and siill -leave one-sixteenth
pie for each child of school
age.
Gentlemen, this letter is already
too long. I can add nothing more
unless it be yonrs, truly, "

Fire last Monday caused by lime
slacking in the rain destroyed a
warehouse on Commercial wharf,
Port Townsend, entailing a loss of
S15,000. The wind was blowing fur
iously, and had it not been raining
in torrents a disaster to the whole
city would have resulted. The priu
oipal loss was on 585 chests of tea,
valued at nine thousand dollars, held
in bond, awaiting analysis of samples
in San Francisco. It was consigned
to Seattle and Tacoma. The re
mainder of the loss was on household
goods and building material con
signed to a large number of persons.
