"Ees," replied the horse reporter to
the person asking the question: young
man with tablespoon hat and o you
may-kiss-m observation-disclosures mus
taehe, who stood in the doorWay-s'the
editor is in, and the chances are that he
prefers STAYING in, rather than run any
risk of falling against YOU"
swell, Of course, you know, said the
young man, "very likely II wouldn't be
absolutely necessary for me to see the
really and truly editor about this mat
ter that wanted to have settled. Its q
question to be answered, you know"
II should surmise, +" said the horse re-
porter; shat an average deck hand
could successfully wrestle with any
problem you could evolve"
"Well, / don't know continued the
young man. "This is a real hard ques-
ton, You know, and good many of
our set over on the West Side have tried
to settle il, but we can't. L never saw
such apFOvoking thing In all my life,
and last night was talking with my
roommate about ii, and we got real an
cry, and il looked once as IL we should
strike each other. L wouldn't have
had q row with Cholly for anything,
the same store tor nearly three years
now, and when he was promoted to the
ribbon counter he always spoke to me
lust the same as when we were both in
the threads"
ain the what?n asked the reporter.

nothing could ever make me go back

thing like that makes two fellows aw-
full chums."
ayes. know" said the horse report
eT, "but what is your question"
"Well, you see, some people are play
ing crouuet, and rover is driven up
close to the home stake. Now, an
other man is dead on the ball, but hav-
ing a stroke he plays on the rover, and
forces it against the stake. Now, say,
the rover is dead, and the other fellows
thew saw it isn't, and we've been hav-
| ing an awful time about it over on the
West Side, and"
eyes, you told me that before. Our
croquet editor is away on his vacation.
| He spends il in the Asylum for Feeble
Minded People, getting pointers from
| the inmates, but like enough L can nix
| this thing for you"
"Oh! that's swfully jolly. Have a
cigarette?"
mo, thank you. ! am over nine
wears old. But about the croquet mat
ter. You say the rover IS close to the
stakew
"Tes."
"And the next player knocks it
| against the stake"
"Yes."
"And then the player after him claims
| that the rover is deadm
AYES, that's it; and they can't agree
t'Well," said the horse reporter, 81
should say that the man who got the
first knock down ought to VIM
but they don't knock each other
down. They don't quarrel at ALL"
'sYou said this was croquet game,
didn't youGn
"Why, certainly"
And they didn't qusrrel?'
"Why, of course not"
Then the FAIRIES are indeed kind to
! the dry good clerks, and can only say
that your best plan is to disguise your
self with cigar and ride down in the
elevator"

stand at once that they are deemed disloyal
because they conspire in body to resist and
nulify laws of the United States. They are
accounted traitors, by loyal and law-abiding
Northern people, and the name sticks because
it belongs to them. Until they stop trying to
defeat laws of the United States, they will con-
tnue to be traitors. II they Go not like the
name, let them enforce tho laws. Let them
cease to countenance and reward the politicians
who show greatest audacity i'll defyins United
States authority. Let them aid the prosecu-
ton and punishment of every leader in tins
traitorous conspiracy against free government.
Those who refuse brand themselves as traitors;
they take part in disoyal conspiracy to de-
feat law. If the Acknowledgement can bring
home the crime to the chiefs of the Democratic
party, he should do so. But it is high time
that somebody should be punished for nulliil-
cation in South Carolina.

away under an old cavalry helmet that always lies
