I take a boat at Pittsburg, and with two changes I go right through to New Orleans, putting in a little time at every town on the way. I reckon four or live weeks for the trip and from eight to ten trips a year. "Thore are well, I can't say just how many of us work the river boats.

Come back by the rlvorr Of course I don't. It would take me, say, a month to get from New Orleans to Cin cinnati by boat, and that would bo a month wasted. "I make up my llBt and have the goods boxed and shipped to Pittsburg about three days beforo I am roady to start. My business is not in full swing till I got to Cincinnati. That's where the big Ohio river pnokets start from, and to ono of thorn my goods are transferred. I don't go through to Now Orleans on that boat, only to Memphis, because the Ohio river boats don't make many stops after they got Into the Mississippi. "No matter what boat I take from Cin cinnati, there's sure to be a queer lot of passengers on her. Nobody Is supposed to travel by tho boats nowadays who can afford to ride In tho ears. Last timo down was right In the swamper season, and we had about 80 of them on board. You'd thluk from their appearance that the swampors wore a lot of daredevil cowboys hungry for a fight, but they're not. There's always work to be had In the swamps of Louisiana, especially along the Red river, outting lumbor for barrel staves and shingles, and when winter comes on in the north hundreds of farmer boys In Ohio and Indiana and Illinois go down In the boats and put In a winter's work in the swamps. They're the swampers. They're, great on guns and pistols and knives, not for fighting, but to give them a rcul Bporty appearance, 1 suppose, and I work my cards to soli thom all I can. It's very muoh like peddling, to bo sure. Sometimos I sell as much as H00 or $800 worth on the boat between Cincinnati and Memphis. The swampers haven't got any money, but pay with orders on their em ployers. "This work on the boat of oourae Is only sldo show. My main business is In the towns. How long the boat stops at a piaoe deponds ontirely upon how much freight thoro Is to take on. At least u s supposed tn dnnnnd on that, but sometimes it do- ponds moro upon the commercial travelers on board, as you shall see.

As far back as 1855, In a small Hudson rlvor town, a young woman was married I to ner rather's conlldentlal clork. In ad dition to winning his bride the young man secured a partnership In his futhor-ln-law'B concern, and on tho day of the wedding there wore displayed, as was the custom in those days, the presents. Among them was a chock for 110,000 from the bride s father. - Tho couple lived happily together for nearly so years, when tho husband died. At Intervals tho wlfa visited her old home, mot and conversed with her old frlonds, reared her ohildrcn In tho foar of the Lord and was in every way a good member of soolcty. A fow years aftor tho death of her husband, her father, thon a venerable old man, died. When his estate was Bot tled, tho daughter and widow found horsolf charged In tho will with $10,000, to be de ducted from her portion of tho estate "But," said she to tho oxecutors, "I never received thlB money, and It is not fair to deduct it from my portion of tho estate. I don't caro to contest tho will, but I think there must bo somo uilstuko about it. ' I recollect tho check among my wod- ding presents, but I never saw It aftor-1 ward. I supposed my husband took It, and if he did it was all right, but I have no proof of It cither way. ' Tho exocutors wero In a quandary, and In somo way tho nowa of the missing oheck became known In the village 'men a surprising thing happened. Ono of tho most rcspoctable citizens of tho town, a prominent member of tho ohuroh, camo forward, and after a good deal of hesita tion drew from his pookot a faded slip of paper. 'Seo what my wlfo found In nn old suit of clothes," said he. "I I I don't know how it came there, but I thought it might bo of eomo service to you." It was tho $10,000 cheok. Whether In jest or with tho Intention of stealing it, the rcsncctnblo citizen had put it in his Docket. Having It once In his possession, ho found It an awkward Instrument.
