They were asked to raise $50,000.

They Increased thin to $107,000. Being so euccessful in raising this fund the plan of erecting a necial building wa broached and carried to a successful conclusion. The T. P. A.

World' fair building committee has cbarge of this project. The officials of the committee are C. A. Wlckarl, chairman; W. A.

Kirchhoff, vice chairman; Murray Carleton, treasurer; Geo. W. Smith, secretary, and Louis Rosen, L. T. Lebeaume, J.

Herbert Stafford and F. W. Crandall. The building will stand on the brow of a gentle hill, receding from the Plateau of States. The site for the structure wa allotted when the states received their and an enthusiastic demonstration by T.

P. A. members slgnalizci the event. The building is rapidly nearing com- pletion and the building committee proposes to dedicate it on Saturday, jOl- tober 10, 1903, at 2:30 p. m.

The staff! is being put on now and it will be practically finished this fail. We want to make this event one of the most pleasant and enjoyable In the history of our association. Every member of the T. A. Is cordially invited to be present.

Members will assemble at the' Llndell railway pavilion at 2 and will then march in a body, headed by a band of music, in the World's fair grounds, to our building. Th-re will be prominent officials present such as the mayor of St. Louis, president of the Business Men's League, president of the Chamber of president of the Merchants Ac Manufacturers association, prominent city officials, together with the national president of the T. P. A.

and national board of directors, various state and post officers and local cers. Each guest will be provided with badge which will entitle him to admi-( sion to the grounds. We hope that every one who can be present will be, and show the World's fair officials that the T. P. A.

are alive' to the interests of the fair. It will be remembered that the trav-fng1 men were the first to send a bona fide subscription to the World's fair of $110,000. They have also received other subscriptions and have almost enough money to furnish and maintain a building upon the World's fair grounds. This is to be a home for the traveling men of all where they can find a suitable place to rest and such conveniences as writing tables, toilet rooms, check rooms, telephone service, and in fact ali modern conveniences, both for gentlemen and ladies. Every member of our association must feel that he is welcome and we ere glad to have him present either at the dedication ceremonies or during the World's fair period.

A great many of our. members have expressed a desire to contribute a small amount this enterprise, and with this end in view, the building committee have decided to offer to our members of the T. P. A. a building certificate handsomely lithographed and with name engrossed upon payment of $1.00.

This, however, does no include frame, which can be furnished at an additional cost of $1.00. Any member desiring to contribute a small wllT kindly forward $1.00 to Geo. w. Smith, Secretary of the T. P.

12T, IT. C. T. Discourse On Hhreveport Council No. 127 held an interesting meeting last night at their lodge room and transacted a lot of routine business.

Senior Counsellor Ben Hanna presided with his usual grace, and Lep Wolff waa on hand to take notes and Incidentally to top off the silver. It was stated that Mr. L. C. I'eaffe, member ofhe national executive committee, would be in the city during th W'eek, and a committee was appointed to f-ntertain him and also urged to try to have him remain over In the city one night, an to permit "ie locals to give him a royal time.

The following visitors were present at the session: O. J. Landry, New Orleans; W. O. Kern.

Fort Worth; W. H. Both, Dallas; K. O. Gibson, Memphis.

Post President Will Mabry requested several weeks ago to furnish The Times with an article on the "Louisiana Drummer," and the following excellent essay is the result: I have been asked to contribute an article to the Drummer Column of Th Shreveport Times, and the committee especially asked that I eliminate politics from same, which I consented to do, for should I write on politics I would say that I would hope to see drummers hold all the good positions from president down to city marshal, and especialjy would I want to see them aldermen of the city of Shreveport. so that they might appoint some of our prominent member on the police force. In order that they might be happy serving their city or country, but I must not dwell on politics, so I will begin on what I consider some of the qualifications of our "Louisiana Drummer." First, he should be a man of integrity and character, for without these qualities no man can gain and hold the respect and confidence of his constituency; we have no room In our circle for swindlers and knaves, and those who try to reach success by this route will, beyond doubt, be left behind, for ail right thinking men attach a great deal of importance to purity of purpose and fair and honest dealing. Second, the drummer should be well posted in his business, he should be familiar with his "line," In all. Its details, he should memorize his costs and know every article hte has to offer, for no doubt the best posted man gets the business, while the other fellow Is learning how.

The drummer should cultivate friendship, mak friends he goes, make friends of everybody, from the largest buyer to the bootblack on the street, for the drummer that does this has the battle half fought. "Lincoln has nothing only plenty of friends." was often said of the young Illinois lawyer; poor In purse as he was, yet was rich In his friendships, and he rose largely by their aid. "Those friends thou hast and their adoption tried, grapple them to thy soul with tooks of and as old friends arc removed by death or other cause do not fall to replace them with new ones, for no man can live a successful, useful and happy life without friends. The drummer, too. must con sider the interest both of his house and dependent noon fnr Niicresiif hp mnnf always be with the "best house," and out of the "best" town In the "best" state In the Union, and as he travels over our grand state (Louisiana) which Is blessed by nature with many advantages, her rich and alluvial val leys, her forests of fine timber, all being traversed by railroads, they can truly say, they travel In "a good land.

a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills." Deut. The drummer usually carries with him a "bureau" of Information that enlightens and helps all those who may come In contact with him. and to make a long story short, he Is the forerunner of commercial civilization and a very necessary commodity. Respectfully. W.

A. MABRY. The following extract from the News letter shows the high esteem In which Travelers Protection association members are held in oM Virginia: It is reported -that the friends of John S. Warwood are determined he Fhall be lieutenant Rovernor of the Old Dominion. The T.

P. A rejoices In the (wpularity and prominence of its member, and Is confident Virginia could not do better than to elect Brother Harwood. The following anent the T. P. A.

building at the coming H. Louis exposition is also taken from the News Letter and will doubtless be read with IntereM bv all traveling men; i OtTR FAIR BUILDINO. The structure was designed by Mr. IjOuIr LoHeflumo, one of the architects en the staff of the exposition's chief of design, Mr. H.

I Mawiueray. His description of the building Is as follows: "The building covers urea of H5 by 45 feet and Is one story high. It consists of a central pavilion in plan rising above lower wings st either side.
