The Huron Expositor, 1886-07-16, Page 2MALTBY'S PLANS. BY wean= LEARNED. I have charge of the real-estate be- longing to the bank with which I am connected. We recently took by fore- closure a house in the lower part of the -city, which contained one tenement on the first floor, one on the second floor, and was occupied on the ground floor as a lager -beer saloon. We -got rid of the lager -beer saloon, and altered the ground loor into another tenement. The for- aner owner of the house lived on the first Soon a neat and thrifty Irish couple on the second, and the quondam beer saloon waited for a tenant. One rainy evening tiny door -bell rang, and a man came in to see me about hiring the ground -floor tenement. He was a man of about 35 years, I should think; a very good- looking fellow, with dark hair, a dark mustache, and very bright black eyes. Heraid that his name was George Malt- by, and that he was working in Jones' machine shop for a dollar a day. It was pretty hard work, he said, to sup- port a wife and two children on that pay. He was an engineer by trade and used to run an engine in New trade, He had saved up about $200, and then went into business with a friend. "I tell you," he said, we had a big thing. I'd struck something that was bound to sell, and if my partner hadn't run away with all the money I'd 'a' been pretty well fixed now." After his partner had cleared out with the contents of the money drawer, and Maltby found that he couldn't again get the place which he had left, he caine up here M search of work. ‘Knowire what I can do," he said, it seems pretty hard, I tell you, to be workin' away for a dollar a day. I ought to be well off to -day. I aught to be ownin' tenements, and not hiriee I let him have the tenement for seven aollars per month. There were some few repairs to be made, and he asked me to let him do the work. He said that ke could do it evenings._ He proved to be a handy workman, and worked out almost his entire rent the first month. When he came to pay me the entail bal- ance that as due, he seemed to be in a -very cheerful frame of mind. " Guess 'I'm all right now," he said. "Pm gain' to start a store in that front room -candy, apples, oranges, peanuts, and that sort o' thing. My wife can look out for it in the daytime, and there's a pretty good trade in that neighborhood. I've struck a chewin' gum that's goin' to rake in all the chil- dren-Makby's Celebrated Chewin' Gum. I've got my signs out, and it's goin" to take. You see, most ehewin' gum turns white when you chew it. Well, I've got a gum that turns green. Boss idea, ain't it'" "You're sure it's healthy ?" I ven-. tared to ask. "Healthy l Well, I should say so. My own children chew it, and it does 'em good." By the time that the next payment was due,. Maltby was on hand with , his money, but before I could ask him about the sale of the Maltby Gum, he told me that he had " struck " something else. There was an air of subdued excitement about him as he told of these discoveries which was almost contagious. He al- most whispered them, with an abun- dant gesticulation, which went far to- ward convincing me of their merit. This time it was beer. "I've got," said Maltby, "a beer which is simply the best beer in town. its a little stronger than a root, and a little lighter than a lager. I've been experimentin' with it, and Pve got it just right. I can make it, sir, for one cent a glass, and sell it for five. That ain't bad, is it? I put my signs out to- day -Try George's Celebrated Best Beer; and I sold five glasses this after- noon. There's money in that. Soon as I get well runnin' I mean to supply families. Take a family like yours - leave you, say, a dozen a week. In a couple o' months I'll get a horse and cart, and hire a man to deliver it all over the city. Work into the next town before long, and keep three or four men on the road all the time. Yes, sir. I've got all I can tend to this time." I walked by Maltby's store the next day. There were a few jars of candy and some apples and oranges in the win- dow. The sign advertising the cele- brated beer, in stenciled letters on brawn paper, was tacked to a shuter ; but there wasn't a crowd of customers in or about the shop. Possibly, I thought, this is too early in the day for the best beer trade. Next month the beer had sunk below Maltby's horizon, and a new light lied - arisen. This time he had found a five - cent cigar which was fully the equal d- eny Havana. It was so good that, after working up a trade at five cents,' he thought he should put the price up to seven. After the public had once smoked it they wouldn't be deprived of it, and they would clamor for it at seven cents. Of course he had out signs, and, equally of course, it was called Maltby's Celebrated Five -Cent Cigar. He was then engaged in designing a particularly attractive label for the boxes. _ My faith in the celebrated Maltby cigar was much shaken by a specimen which he left with me. I am glad that I took the precaution to light it in the open air. Maltby had stink the shop on his next monthly visit. He said that it was pretty tough trying to get along on a dollar a day. There wasn't yew enter- prise in_ that part of the town, andthe atore didn't amount to much. Ill tell you what they need in this town," said Maltby, and that's a sum- mer garden. Nice place, you know, band music, tables, trees, ice-cream, maybe lager beer, where a gentleman like you could go in with his wife and sit there and hear the music. There's .money in it. Look at the folks welkin' about the streets here nice nights in the summer, and no place to go to. Charge "cm ten cents to come in, and let 'ern stay as long as they want to. I found a lot that's just the place, and I believe start it. There's big money in the scheme." "Start it, Maltby !' I said. " 'Why, where's the neaney to come from ?" "You wouldn't like to go into it yourself ?" queried Maltby. I assured him that I should not. "Didn't know hut you might like to take hold of it. it's a big scheme. I'd like to get a partner, but there ain't much enterprise in this place. Guess have to run it alone. I've been pac- in' the lot, and I can put up a board fence for about three hundred dollars. I didn't know but r wild mortgage the fence,eind get some chairs and tables on credit, and start in. It would pay for itself in two weeks. Icalculate I could make aboue fifteen hundred dollars clear this summer." "How are you going to pay for your band?" I asked. "Receipts," he said, as if that dis- posed of that matter. "But suppose that you have, when you open, allowing that you could open, a rainy week?" we shouldn't have a rainy week right off. The receipts would pay her all up in a couple oweeks. I've been figuring it out," said. Maltby, with an airy confidence. - "Now, Maltby," said I, "you don't want to think of such a visionary scheme as this. It's out of the question. You can't get the lot, nor the lumber, nor the chairs and tables, to say nothing of the band. I wouldn't think about such a wild project if I were you." "Be a good scheme if I could do it, wouldn't it ?" said, Maltby. I told him that I even doubted that; but he went out with a triumphantly confident air, saying that he was going to write to a man in New York who would see what money there was in it, and go in with him. Maltby looked rather discouraged at the next month's visit. He didn't al- lude to the summer garden. Indeed, when Maltby left his schemes he never looked back at them. If Lot's wife had ignored the past as thoroughly as Malt- by did, she would never have figured as an example and warning. "I can't get along on a dollar a day," said Maltby. "Its pretty hard for a fellow like me, able and willin', to be workin' for that. I tell you this kind of thing ain't a-goin' to last much longer. Look at Jones, a-makin' his ten thou- sand dollars a year, and a-ridin' in his carriage, and me a-tryin' to keep a wife and two children on a dollar a day." The force of Maltby's-complaint was somewhat injured by the fact that I knew that Jones, so far from making ten thousand dollars a year, wasn't making anything at all, and was supposed to he slowly running astern financially; but I knew that I couldn't make Maltby be- lieve it. "This kind o' thing," Maltby went on, "ain't a-goin' to last much longer. These Knights of Labor are a-goin' to fix all that. I tell you that's the big- gest thing I've struck. We're a-goin' to revolutionize this country. We're a-goin' to elect the next Governor of this State, and the next President of the United States. The workin'man's a-goin' to have his day now. It's a big organization. No lawyers, none of your rich manufacturers -all laborin' men. I don't know," said Maltby, doubtfully, "whether you could get in or not." I told him that I thought that, as the mere paid employee of a corporation, I ought to be eligible. "I don't know," said Maltby. "No bankers in, you see. I might speak to 'em about you." I withdrew my name from consider- ation for the present, and Maltby, went on. " No more dollar a day, you. know. I'm goin' to get my three or four dol- lars. If I want to take a little vacation with my wife and children, I'm a-goin' to do it. Have my books and my pic- tures," he said, waving his hand toward my book -shelves and one or two etchings Which hung on the walls of the very small room which I call my library, be- cause it's the only way I have of enlarg- ing it. "I'd go slow in this matter if I were you, Maltby," I said. "I wouldn't do anything rash." " Oh, don't you be afraid of me," he replied; "I ain't a-goin' to do anythin' rash. I've been figurin' it all out. We've got an organization right here in this town. You don't know anythin' about it. Got sonic money in your bank. You don't know anythin' about that. • It's in somebody's name. Whole thing secret. We're goin' to fix things this time, sure." When rent day came again, Maltby was not on hand. He had always ap- peared very promptly before. He had come to my house in the evening t3 pay his rent, as he was busy' during the day, and he had thus found time and oppor- tunity to confide his schemes to me. , When the tenant of the first floor paid her rent, she asked me if Maltby had paid his. I said that he had not. " Well, if you want to get it, you'd better go down," she said. "He's lost his place, and he ain't doipg anything now." I went down the next day. Frag- ments of the brown paper placards Which had 'advertised his successive celebrities fluttered on the front of the shop; and the same small arrabr of candy and apples was in the vvindo . I opened the door and went in. A verly neat but worn -looking little woman stood behind the counter. In the back room a little child was sitting on the floor and play- ing with a small broken cart while an older one stood by the mothe 's side. "is Mr. Maltby in ?" I ask d. "No, sir," said the worn n, as she looked at me rather anxiousl " Will you tell him that r. L came to see him ?" I said. "About the rent ?" she ask d. a", Well, yes," I said. " I is to me that Mr. Maltby pays it." He's going to try and co e round in a few days," she said. "Is he out of work ?" I inq "Yes, he is just now," she slowly and painfully. " around with the rent in a few "Tell him that's all right cheerfully. " We'll wait for It was a rather unpleasant I went down to my office the ired. answered, He'll get days.". ,".I said,: ffair. As ext morn- ing, Maltby was a weight on my mind. I had been his confidant and the silent partner in so many of his'ventures that I felt that it rather rested on me to sug- gest something now. Maltby seemed a willing man. He was sobee ; he gave good references as to his capabilities as an engineer. I had mentioned his case to one or two of my friends who were in the way Of employing men of his trade. One dollar a day did seem email pay for a man of his apparent willingness and ability. It was small pay on which to keep his Wife end two little children. As I reached the steps of the bank, one of these friends hailed me. He was the president of an electric light company that was flooding our streets with the white, clear light, which in small cities certainly does away with much of the petty evil -d »ng which seeks the cover of darkness. "Hullo !" said he. "Where's your man Maltby? Does lie want a job.?! " More than ever," I answered. "He's out of work now." • "Well, if he can come up to my of. *THE HURON 'EXPOSITOR. flee this afternoon I can give him an en- gine to run," said my friend. "Look here, Tom," said I; " he seems straight enough. I don't think that he drinks; but he is a visionary chap. lie's full of all sorts of schemes and impracticable projects. I think that I ought to tell you that about him." "He can run an engine, can't he ?" asked my friend. I told him that I thought that he could. He certainly had very good ref- erences. "Well, that's what I want him for," said my friend. "If he'll attend to his engine I don't care how visionary he is." I went down to Maltby's store that afternoon, much relieved in spirit. Maltby had become a responsibility to me, and here was a way open for him. His wife was behind the counter. I asked for her husband. She hesitated, stammered, and said that he wasn't in, in a way which convinced me that he had seen me coming, and had gone out, and she knew where he was. "He means to come up about that rent," she was going to say, when I in- terrupted her. "I haven't come about the rent, Mrs. Meltby. I've found a job for him." How her tired face lighted up! "He's over at the stable," she said. "I'll send one of the children after him." "Never mind," I answered. "I'll go myself." The stable was on a side street. Malt- by wasn't to be seen, but when I went in I found him standing by the office door. He hung down his head when he saw me coming. "Out of work, Maltby ?" I said. "Yes," he answerect, rather sullenly. • "What's the matter ?" "Discharged." "What for?", "Told 'em Pd got to have more pay, and they turned me off." "Did the rest of the men strike ?" " Wouldn't. No enterprise in 'em. I can't pay you that rent. I've got to go down to New York and try and find something to do. pay you when I get a job. " I didn't come for the rent, Maltby," I said. "I came to tell you that I have found a job for you." He straightened up, and the light flashed in his eyes again. "You know where the office of the Electric Light Company is. You go there and tell them who you are, and you can get something to do. Ask for Mr. Johnson." "Running an engine ?" asked Maltby. "Yes," said I. "By George !" was all he said, and he turned and almost ran toward the house. He came in a day or two to pay his rent. I asked him how he liked his place. - "First.rate," he said. "Good job, fair pay. Rather dangerous at first, though. Great thing, that electricity. Knocked me down onee. I'm a-learnin' it, though. I tell you, I'M a-goin' to make a study of it." Now Maltby gets a certain amount of exhilaration out of his schemes which al- most consoles him for their failure. His imagination is so vivid that he actually enjoys his prospective success; but I am inclined to think that his wife has less faith and more trouble, and I am afraid that he is going to invent Maltby's Cele- brated Dynamo. A Child and a Wasp. Among the passengers on the express was, a very much over -dressed woman, accompanied by a bright -looking Irish nunie girl, who had in charge a _self- willed, tyrannical two-year-old bay, of whom the .over -dressed woman was plain- ly the mother. The mother occupied a seat by herself. The nurse and child were in the seat immediately in front of her. The child ge,ve frequent exhibitions of temper and kept the car filled with such vicious yells and shrieks that there was a general feeling of savage indigna- tion among the passengers. Although he time again spat in the nurse's face scratched her „hands until the blood came and tore her hair and bonnet, she bore with him patiently. The indignation of the passengers was made greater because the child's mother made no effort to cor- rect or quiet him, but, on the contrary, sharply chided the nurse whenever she manifested any firmness. Whatever the boy yelped for, the mother's cry was, uniformly.: "Let him have it, Mary." By the time the train passed Turner's the feelings of the passengers had been wrought up to the boiling point. The remark was made -'audibly here and there that "it would be worth paying for to have the young one chucked out of the window." The hopeful mother was not moved by the very evident annoyance the passengers felt, and at last fixed her- self down in her seat for a comfortable nap. The child had just slapped the nurse in the face for the hundredth time, and was preparing for a fresh attack, when a wasp came from somewhere in the car and flew against the window of the nurse's seat. the boy at once made a dive for the wasp as it struggled upward on the glass. The nurse caught his hand, and said to him coax- : "Har Y musn't touch! Harry .!" Harry gave a savage yell and began to kick and slap the .nurse.' The mother awake from her nap. She heard her son's screams, and, without lifting her head or opening her eyes, she cried out sharply to the nurse: "Why 'will you tease that child so, Mary?'Let him have it at once." Mary lei go of Harry. She settled back in her seat with an air of resigna- tion, but there was a sparkle in her eye. The boy clutched at the wasp and finally caught it, The yell that follow- ed caused joy to the entire car,for every eye was on the boy. The mother awoke again. " Mary;" she it!" Mary tureed calmly in and, with a wicked twinkle said: "Sure, he's got it, mum !" This brought the ear down. Every one in it roared. The child's mother rose up in her seat with a jerk. When she learned what the matter was, she pulled the boy over the back of the seat and awoke some sympathy for him by laying him across her knee and warming him nicely. In ten minutes he was as quiet and meek as a lamb, and he never opened his mouth again until the train reached the city. -New York Sun. • -A movement has been set on foot in St. Marys and that neighborhood to grant some assistance to the Nationalists of Ireland in their coming struggle.
