If you want to "bed" and grub
at white house, eve don't mean any
of your Presidential Mansions, you
must follow your nose to Crosby's
at New Lisbon. Of course you can't
stop at Crosby's if you are in NADIA
gasear, but when you are at New
Lisbon "Crosby's" is the place where
it is lust like mothers. Crosby is
an old democrat who has always been
a democrat, none OF your "watered
stock, chameleon seven by nine wealth
sr-gauge democrats. but regular ok
90 double-plated, democrat, therefore
We like him. He keeps the Crosby
House, and his son-in-law, John X.
Newell, Cliffords Manager, who mar
ried his daughter before we got around,
helps him, and between the two, they
make it home for body whether he
be rspub. or dem" dem We
always site up" at Crosbys. and call
for two pieces of pie extra, for supper
and We always sit beside Bro. Phillips
another white democrat, he who runs
Kate Carney's brothers paper, the
Argus, and we are not afraid "coz'' all
hands are honest, and we never allow
ourself to be frightened when there
are victuals around, We know we will
have fair count.
We sing with Newells' wife, and
Newell don't get mad about it, but
brings us another piece of-music,
not PIE, and requests that we sing that,
and Uncle Crosby and his excellent
wife with whom he has walked adown
Gods highway toward Heaven for
nigh onto forty years. " sit in the sit
ting room and enjoy hearing Repub-
lican sing with republi ;an's wife,
Newell is republican, Then when
the concerts over We warm our little
feet under Crosbys big Office stove,
while Uncle Crosby smokes his demo-
cratic pipe, and wreathes his good old
silvered head with silver clouds of
democratic smoke, and we are not in
Inundated. Crosby's is a good place
to stop. Crosby owns by right of pre-
emption dog. It's yallsr dog, and
we thould think the "main building
were as many as six feet long. This
dog came to Uncle Crosby, and he
''took i'm in. y When he arrived he
had no baggage he said he was only
a caller, and he seems to be but little
more than a collar now. He is faith
full dog, and always comes to his meals
with surprising regularity. He would
make fine hat rack for a cottage, or a
clothes-dryer for laundry with little
or no preparation. He's a crosby
tween megatherium and bluejay,
or greenback and gold dollar, the
gold predominating, we judge, for
Crosby asks two n 'alf for him and
he's yellow. Whether the price goes
down with gold, or rises with the beef
market, Crosby don't say. We like
the dog. but can't buy. We mean to
stop with Crosby always, and when we
get to Heaven we expect to see Crosby
and Bro. Phillips and Carney and
Newell, and the dog three demo
Gratis, two republicans, and that dog,
little exception to the general rule,
for we think there will be scarcity oil
democrats there, but we are sure OF
these three, and we wont be running
printing presses, nor keeping hotels
either, and that dog will be spiritual
dog and we'll "sic" him after Samp-
pon's foxes. But just stop at Crosbys
when you go to Lisbon.
