WILDE AND NIE.
An Affecting scene Oh 'he
Plains.

We wen, down to the overland tram
Thursday evening to see the great
Esthete. We picked him out without
any trouble, and tackeled him for q
quiet little talk all by ourselves.
MFR. Wilde is very tall, with a face
like a broadax. We told him that our
name was Nye, the great Wyoming
.Esthete. He smiled like the rolling
mill and shook hands.
He wore a soft hat and kind OF
steelcolored velvet sack coat. He also
wore his hands in his pockets clear up
TO the elbow joint. He wears a kind
of Byron collar and necktie the color
of diseased liver. His pants were OF
a pray material and held in place with
a pale pink gum suspender. These
we've shown as he stopped over, his
coat being cut just kelOW the shoulder
blades. His shoulder blades are high
and intellectual.
He wears his hair long, with hay
| ana little mementoes from the sleeping
car in it, His face is thin and wher
buried in piece of pie must pc
ghastly sight. =.
Mr.. Wiide's teeth are evidently his
own. Nobody could make teeth like
them and escape the vigilance com
| mittee, They are broad and promln
ent, with q tendency to go opt anc
look for air He does pot seem SC
strong but bis breath proves this I'm
preston to he erroneous. Mr. Wilde
wore silk handkerchief the color o
the illustration found in the public
| documents describing the cattle plague
He spoke of various topics with
| seductive draWI, Wriggling his Timber
| angle-worm legs as be spoke and pos
ing like a giraffe with the collie, for the
benefit Of the ladies who stood near
He wipes his nose in linguid, YET
soulful way, thst makes you wish he
would so again.
We asked him when he would re-
turn to England. ppd be tossed his
name in the afr and saidi
cab, l don't know whether l shai
survive or not"
"You get good deal of free adver'
tising | see," said the Boomerang man
gnawing little fragment from an If,
regular piece of navy and thoIghtlefs'
ly stepping on the patent-leather shoes
of the great Esthetic.
"Oh, yes," said Oc., as he straight
ened up and extended bis neck up
through his collar till YOU copid see
the scolloped edge of his chemise.
Eyes sir. Most too much OF It,
Still it pays moderately well, he, be-
he. However, it is absolutely stupid
of them to make such beastly and
peculiar little jokes upon me, ye
know"
We had good deal more cenhden-
tial talk with him before the train left,
which we may give to the public alter
awhile, but at present space forbids.
Mr.. Wiide's complexion is very
paid, with here and there q little pim-
pie that relieves the monotony some
He wears no beard or moustache at all,
but makes up for that with a large
growth of hair on his head, which falls
in graceful festoons over his shonlders
like horses tail over an oliye-green
dashboard He is just as full of SOU
as be can be and walks, and breathes
and exists like two-year-old steer In
cabbage grove. He smiles every lit
tie while like colicky baby in its
sleep, and sighs snd places himself ii
statuesque positions, as though some
thing had given way in his apparel
and he was trying to keep his etheria
pantaloons on till people looked the
| other way.-BW Nue.
