There were two men at the desks, and a man lying on a lounge; the latter proved to be the man I wanted. "I don't feel like doing any business just now," said he, "come in after dinner." This was pleasanter than to be told not to come in at all, so I made another call on the street, but did no business. Bell's. I told him my business, and he gave me his card: Tibbals, of Meriden, Conn.
I took his order this morning while he lay on a lounge. I asked him if he was sick, and he said he was not, but he was tired. Great Scott! just think of a man getting tired doing nothing." I saw Tibbals liked to talk, so I led him on to more details about Harris. "Some folks are lucky," said he. "When I came out here in '65 Harris was a traveling man, but the next January he was given an interest.

We all mounted the seat, driving pell-mell on a rough road to Tibbals Point, on the southwest corner of Wolf Island. A hard journey it was, and near two o'clock, I should say, before we put our canoe in the water. Then the man D'ri helped me to an easy seat in the bow and shoved off. A full moon, yellow as gold, hung low in the northwest.
"We all went to Tibbals to see the Kinge, who used my mother and my aunt very gratiouslie; but we all saw a great chaunge betweene the fashion of the Court as it was now, and of y in ye Queene's, for we were all lowzy by sittinge in Sr Thomas Erskin's chamber." Memoir: Anne Countess of Dorset, 1603. It was the 26th of February, that first day that they "hit the Long Trail."
I believe, by thunder, he would leave a customer any time if a crony came for him to go off on a good time." I do like to hear an old traveling man. If he has the inclination he can give one lots of points. Tibbals went on: "I ran across a man in Seebarger's the other day that I used to know in Toledo and Cleveland. He was stock man twenty years ago and ten years ago, and is to-day.
I've seen many handsomer men than Tibbals, but I have not often met one who was better company. He had been on the road, so he said, for twenty years, selling plated ware, and I expect "Rogers Bro., 1847," was tattooed all over him. "Have you sold Harris?" he asked. "No, he told me to come in after dinner." "What a lazy fellow he is! That man is the laziest one on my route.
