OUR MINOR INDUSTRIES.

How Some Terre Haute People Torn ail Honest Penny.

Various Ways of Getting a Living.

Mushroom"Business—Fair Attractions and Their Patrons.

The old saying—"One half the world does not know how the other hal.f lives," is as true in Terre Haute as 'elsewhere. It is said that in New York City twenty thousand people get up every morning •who have to earn their breakfast before they can eat it, and while there is no such depth of poverty in Terre Haute, there are very many who live only from from hand to mouth, as the saying is and -whose life is a continual struggle to keep the wolf from the door.

There are a number of little industries which either spring up on special occasions, or are stimulated in fresh life and vigor by them. Everyone knows how the fervor of a political campaign makes itself telt in every department of business, Lives of the various candidates afford, by their sale, the means of livelihood to a great many the manufacture and sale of campaign medals torms an other branch of industry and every event of importance forms a new basis for some business enterprise. There is hardly a family in the country who has not a "Lite ol Gar fieldby some writer, on the shelf or table, purchased from a book agent, while the exhumation and transfer ot John Howard Pajroe'a remains to this country gave a new impetus to the publication ana sale of "Home, Sweet II ime." Wherever a county or other fair id held, there crops up a variety of miscellaneous little industries which in ordinary times are not noticed. At the late county fair and also at the Granger fair, quite a penny was turned by the proprietors of several of what" may fairly be turned side ehows —a rifle gallery or range, a series of dolls to throw balls at, which at the rate of three throws for a nickel, was the sport of the country boy and the profit of the proprietor.

MU8HHOOM INDUSTRIES.

These various ways of making a living may well be called mushroom industries, lor they spring up around some parent industry, such as a fair, a circus or show of similar kind and do not seem to flourish except where there is a crowd. They are, as a rule, save perhaps in the case of the rifle ranges, which area steadier industry,, seen unless in company with larger FIIOWS, The lemonade and ice cream venders renew their activity wherever and whenever a crowd is expected during the summer and the oyster dealer finds a great accession of custom in the winter season, when Strephon latea Chlou to town and initiates her into the dissipations of the theatre. A few days ago not even Jumbo could have swallowed the oceans of lemonade which the crowd consumed Every luBCh room, confectionery and restaurant bad its sign out and the nickels flowed in a steady stream into the coffers of the makers of ice cold drinks. Besides these there are many street stands, whose owners pay no reDt and who move their establishments according as the crowd is greater or less in any particular neighborhood. The lemonade of these street dealers is generally a compound of tartaric or citric acid, sugar, water and ice, with sufficient raspberry syrup, which is a cheap and harmless article, to dye the compound

A SEDUCTIVE I'INK

But, after all, itjis the ice that attracts. The cool tinkle of the frozen lumps as they bump agaiust the side of the bowl draws as many half reluctant nickels from the pocket of the buco ic youth as the suggestions of tht infre quent slices of lemon, which by a sort of fabe pretense seem to indicate that the wbnle bowlful is pure lemonade, expressed from the lemon itself, instead of having its origin in the nearest drug etore. LEGITIMATE BUSINESS IN A SMALL WAT

The "mushroom industries" of which we have spoken, appear tor a little time and then vanish away. But there are in this city a great number of small shops, some hardly larger than a good sized kitchen, which afford a shelter and a decent home} honest, if not very productive to their proprietors. Some ot these are peculiar to Terre Haute. There is no city cf its size in the West which contains so many second hand shops. south Fourth street has several. So has Main street and three or still more on various cross streets. Some of them afford their proprietors hardly a scanty subsistence others do quite a large and flourishing business, ^ome, though but few, deal in only one or two articles others buy and sell anything, from an old rag carpet to an eight day clock. Two or three in this city are real magazines of curiosities. A GAZETTE reporter interviewed the proprietor of one of these second hand stores, where everything seemed to be sold and the contents of'which, though not intrinsically very valuable, would have made a very formidable catalogue, the stock comprising shoes, boots, gloves, stoves, old and new hats, furniture in all stages ot decrepitude, seedy old coats and umbrellas which had outlived their usefulness watches, an old melodion, which Hickman wouldn't give house-room to, some stringless violins, guitars, bugles, accordions and other instruments of torture, with a gigantic old black clock without any hands, in the corner, watching over the whole with its grim, sightless face. "We do a business of about three thousand dollars a year, said the proprietor."

About a third of tbis is profit. Wellperhaps a little more than a third. Bv the laws of the state we are compelled to give as near a third of the value of any goods we buy, as possible. We don't do tny pawnbroking business, however.

Don't you though, sometimes buy an article and promise to keep it a few days and then sell it back "Well ahem, in fact you musn't ask too manv questions. Aiiyhow, it we do that isn't pawning an article though. We havn't a pawnbroker's license. Generally, however, if a man has an article on which a pawnbroker woD't lend anything he brings it to us. WV11 buy anything. FROM A DIRTY SUIRT TO A BARTER SEC- •. TION OF LAND. Giving something at all events for the most trifling article."'

Tae reporter asked: "Did you ever see an Odd Shop'? Do you know what it is V" "Oh, ves. You mean those shops where they buy an odd glove, half a pair of scissors, or a long, or a broken ^et of goods. Yes, we don't have any in Terre Haute, but I believe such a shop could do well. You see an old glove has, in itself, no market value, but if we could find its match, the pair would be worth something. In some large cities, like London, Paris and New York there are shops where you can match anything one out of a cup to the other half of a pair of slippers, though people seldom lose slippers or shoes as they lose gloves. I know a gentleman who makes a practice of carrying his left glove in hi9 hand. What's the consequence. He is always losing that glove. Laying it down somewhere and forgetting it. He has quite a collection of right hand gloves at home without mates, widower gloves as you might say.

Who are my best patrons Why people you wouldn'tj think of. I sold that hall stove to-day for twenty-five dollars to a big business man in Terre Haute. It would have cwt him fifty at a stove store and is, as you see, quite new. Why, we have lots of ladies, in here every day, not buying old Louis XIV furniture for fashion sake, but picking up bargains. You see they don't like to go to auction sales and so they let us do the dirty work and pay us our margin ot profit." "What profit do we mane? Why all we can to be sure. We givcal muca as we can, considering that the law makes us give a third, but you see (with a wink of unfathomable profundity) we assess the values ourselves, and it would hardly pay to go to law with us about any Such trifles as our pay. A good many people will pay more than an old thing is worth five times over, because it matches some old chair or other piece of furniture they happen to have, or a queer clock" WB

STOLEN GOOD?.

"Sow do we manage about not getting hold of stolen goods?" "I'll tell you. When we buy anything we ask either & reference or to see a bill 3f the goods to the purchaser. Bat in spite of all our efforts we get stuck occasionally. I lost sixty dollars last week (hat way and I'm going to keep a brighter look out in the future, I assure you. We never buy of servant girls or new goods from clerks. The probabilities are that they have come by them dishonestly. Only the other day a lady saw a very nice bed quilt which I had hung up ia the back of the store bhe wanted it as a match for one like it which she said she had in her best bedroom, so she bought it and iu about an hour she

flaming. It was so goad a match that it proved to be the article itself. A servant girl had stolen it and sold it to a family. They broke up housekeeping and I bought their things and tie quilt among them. The worst cf it was that the shawl belonged to the lady legally and she kept it and I'm thai much out.

interest on the investment, the wear ot the title and etc. may be estimated at another half cent, so that the margin of profit i?, to say the least, quite respectable. Saturday is the great day for the rifle galleries. The city trade is not much, The Terre Haute youth demands novelty. Pool, ten-pins, anl rifle shooting he can get any time, but the rifle range is an attraction for the young men who come in from the country on a load of hay. After buying his new liat and cow-hide boots he looks around for sporl. Pool he is not enual \to. It demands practice, so with ten-pins. But every farmer's boy tbiuks he can shoot and it is only after the disbursement ot considerable coin of the realm that he awakens to a realization of the tact that shooting does not come by nature, as Doyberry said reading and" wri.ing do.

MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIES. Another occupation which furnishes a livelihood to a good many, is tho painting of advertising signs on fences. Some of these are done with a stencil but more frequently the artist, armed with a pot of paiotandone or two coarse brushes, travels on foot through miles of country on the approaches to Terre Haute or smaller cities, selecting such fences or other prominent places where a good display can be had, to invite the attention of the traveler to the wares the painters patrons. The lettering is generally of the roughest description, but there are some among them improvised advertising sign writers who, when fairly paid tor their work, do it well. It compares very favorably with the average sign writer in the quality of the workmanship. These traveling painters gen erally make from ten to twenty dollars per day just before a fair or other occasion likely to draw a crowd. They en-

three or four dollars a day each and thus make considerable money, but the harvest is a snort season and soon reaped and the painter goes back to other pursuits.

An industrious person can renerally find something to do, however humble and Terre Haute can turnish occupation of one kmd or another to almost any one wh^is earnestly desirncus to get an honest 1 ving and is not afraid or ashamed to workT

RIFLE RANGES AND BALL THROWING. The keeping of Rifle galleries is a well defined industry in Terre Haute and is, although not a very remunerative business, sufficiently so to afford a decent living to several people. The stock in trade is not expensive and the returns are strictly cashjand, in a busy season very fair. The range is short* and a quite narrow building, without any upstairs to it, can be rented by the month quits cheaply. Three or four targets one of them, perhaps, so suspended as to swiDg and thus form a movable mark, a pot of paint, a couple of breech loading par lor rifles and a stock of cartridges, which are very cheap when purchased by the gross of ooxes, comprise the entire outfit, Three shots tor a nickel is th? price and in a very busy day the shekels come in a most giatifying manner.

SELLING SEWING MACHINES

How Utah Instructions Were Given to a Green Wisconsin Agent

And How They Very Nsarly Resulted in his Being Pounded to Death.

t* A.

^S'

Peck's SAS.

{,I

thought you were traveling for a sewing machine house," said a man to a friend whom he lound standing on a cor. ner with a strip of court plaster on bis nose to hold it on. You have not thrown up the job have you f" "Yes, I have thrown up tbe job," said the stricken man, as he felt of his left ear to see if it was growing on all right. "I was the victim of misplaced confidence. The boss started me out wrong. He gave me Utah instructions to work on in Wisconsin, and my being alive is a miracle." 'I don't seem to understand whatUtah instructions have to do with it. Let's go in and take a drink and you can explain," and the two went into a saloon followed by a newspaper man, who sat down at the same table. Alter the martyr to Utah instructions bad got his arm, which was done up in splints, into an easy position on the table, and his lame lpg into another chair, and blows the foam off his beer, he said: •You see tbe general agent of the sewing machine company wanted me to travel through western Wisconsin with a wagon, selling sewing machines on the instalment plan, to farmers, and in towns where they had no regular agent. Before 1 started out he called me into his office and gave me some instructions. He said the only sure way to sell machines was to deal directly witb the ladies of the house, and have nothing to do with the ineu folks at all. If a woman could be induced to like a machine, and she wanted it, that settled it, and they would do ail the talking to tbe men, and tbe sale would be made. He told me that their most successful agents all over the country were men who could talk sweet to women, and make them believe they were handsome, or smarter than their neighbors, or more tasty, or kept their bouses cleaner, or something, and be bade me never attempt to sell a machine until I had get on the right side of the woman whom I was dealing witb. He said sometimes a playful pat on tbe cheek, or a chuck' under the chin of a woman in tbe country, by an agent, would do more to help along a sale than a week's talk about tbe merits of a machine, and as I was pretty good looking, and real smart, he had no doubt I would succeed and soon become tbe leading agent, and eventually be promoted to the management of the state agency. I was looking for him on tbe corner when you {•poke to me," said tbe amateur agent, as he felt of the strip of plaster on bis nose,l "to kill him. He must have known just' bow it would be, and I think he w:.nted to get mc killed, so it would bb in t.le papers, and advertise tbe machine. These general agents will do anytbing to advertise. Well, I had my machines shipped out to Portage, and drove there, and took a few on my wagon and started ont towards Fox Lake, and after I bad got out about ten miles, outside the territory of tbe local agent, I stopped at a house, and went in and tackled tbe lady. She was a real good looking, red faced woman, of about forty, and after talking with her about the crops, and a few things like that, and complimenting her on her looks, I put my band up to her faee and patted it, and told her she was a fat little rascal. Have you ever been in a railroad accident? No? Well, ou don't know anything about it. I thougnt the chimney fell on me, but 1 guess it was only a mop, but it knocked me under a table, and the pail of dirty water she had been using to mop tbe floor rolled over on me, and I saw her step up on a chair and reach for a gun that was banging on a couple of wooden hooks, and I happened to think of my horse, and I rushed out and cut the halter, and it is lucky for me that I did, for I just had time to get into the wagon ahead of a yellow dog which had me by the pants*

As I drove off 1 beard the gun, and all 1 could see was three men coming on a run from a wheat field with pitch forks, and tbe dog in the road sneezing anrl picking pieces of my pants out of bis teeth. I swear to you I was never so scared in my life, and 1 ran that horse two miles, and then I took ont a pocket mirror and looked at myself and 1 was as white as your shirt bosom. Did I sell a machine Thunder no! Never took a machine out of the wagon. I thought I was lucky to get away alive. Every hill I came to I looked back expecting to see them grangers coming with pitch forks, but 1 guess she told them it was notbibg serious. Well, I didn't make another break until I bad got about eleven miles from there aud then I went to a house and enquired if they kept a do?, and a little woman told me they had no dog, and 1 went m. Sbe asked me if I was not well, and if 1 had fallen into a mud hole, and then I looked at my clothes, and that mop water had spoiled them. Tbvn I thought of where the dog took the mouthful out of my pants, and I kept my shoulders against tue wall, and began to get solid with ber. I asked about her husband and she said be was sick and then I went in to sell a machine. Here was a little woman that 1 could whip, if worse come to worse, who had a husband who was sick, and I regained confidence, and told her sbe was daisy. I said to ber that it pained me to see a woman like ber, endowed with all the charms of her sex, doomed to wear her life out on a sandy farm, in a God-forsaken country, when she was calculated to adorn a mansion. I told her her bands were made for playing tbe piano, instead of working in a bread foundry, or washing red flannel shirts tor harvest hands, or frying pork for threshing machine pirates, ana then I chucked her under the chin and told ber she reminded me of tbe Princess Louise. I thought 1 heard a bedroom door squeak, as I bad my band on ber chin, and sbe looked around and said, loud enough to be heard In the next room, 'Nathan, here is a man you want to 'tend to,' and just then tbe door opened and Nathan came out in his stocking feet, witb a blue wamut oa. Well, he was the healthiest invalid I ever saw. He was about nineteen feet higb, and bad a foot like a fiddle box. He bad heard every word I said, as he laid there on bis sick bed, and—yoa say you never was in a cyclone? Ever been struck by lightning or a pile driver, or run through a stone crusher? Then I can't explain it to you. He took me by the neck, and his bony lingers were so long they went

twice around my throat. He choked me until my tongue run out, and then he began to break up furniture with me He mauled me all around tbe room and out in tbe yard, and I guess he would have killed me, only hiB wite came to tbe door and said, 'Come, Nathan, it is time for you to take your medicine,' when he let' me alone long enough to go in and take some pills, and I made for tbe wagon. The horse wasn't tied this time, and tbe animal seemed to have learned that when I came out on a gallop that it was bis business to light out. aBd he ran down the road like split. I looked around, and Nathan bad come out into the door-yard, 10 commence where be left off, and wbip me some more, and I sball never forget the look of disappointment on his face when he found I had decided to terminate tbe interview and not sell any machine there. Well, in going down a bill one of the sewing machfnes got loose and fell on my back and broke~that? and I got to the depot at Cambria just in time to catch a freight train for Horicon, and I got in here at midnight, and notified the office that tbe horse and wagon and machines were at a tavern at Cambria, and that I resigned. The general agent was not in, and I am trying to catch him on the street. One of the clerks told me that tbe general agent remarked tbe day before that he was afraid I would get into trouble, as he had given me Utah instructions. Bnt that experience lets me out. I bad rather rob trains than sell sewing machines." and tbe two men got up and went out to look for the general agent.
