A Story About Senator Williams.

Old Cerro Gordo Williams is the
handsomest man of his years in Ken

Preston, formerly Minister to Spain
and at the court of susceptible Isabel
la. Williams is six feet two inches.
with grizzled-iron mustache and curl
ed wig, piercing gray eyes, the frame
of a giant and voice Of fine melodi-
Gus ring. He is as vain as peacock.
While travelling in Southern Russia,
when young man, he alighted at a
village where the Emperor Nicholas
was hourly expected. Williams was
taken for the Emperor. 1t took the
Russians an hour to get over the mis-
take, but Williams has never entirely
recovered. He won his title by gal
lantry before the walls of Cerro Cor
do, a captain in SCOTS army, and he
has maintained his fame for proves
by many personal encounters since, in
all of which he handled himself we'll.
He affects the quality divine to politi-
cians-of an infallible memory for
names and faces, and is not above the
crudest sort of demagogue. One
evening at Stanford, while he was
dining with some friends in an upper
room at the town hotel, one Of his adj
mirers stumbled across "Buck" Combs,
who had been bugler in Williams
regiment during the war. They had
not met since. Combs got his bugle,
and, accompanied by an immense
crowd, went down to serenade his old
commander with war melodies. Stand
ing under his window he lifted up the
old regimental call to "boot and sad

"Tom," said old Williams to his
host, "where is that stage starting to
this time Of night, and what is the
driver tootin' so ID much about?"
"Why, Senator" explained his
friend, regretfully, "that's Buck
Combs, your old bugler, serenading
you. / told 'em you would remem-
Der him and his bugle, and they want
speech"
The old General stepped out of the
window on the balcony and lifting his
voice rs silence fell on the crowd, be-
gan:
THAT bugle CALL" he said, with
choking voice; "that bugle call, my
friends, is like dear echo of memory.
IF I had heard it in the untrodden
wilds of a painless wilderness, would
have known that old Buck Combs
was winding its sweet notes. Often
has it called the old command to
fields of carnage and the thrill of
victory. (Cheers.) There is but one
bugler in the world that could evoke
these sweet notes, and that is Buck
Combs, of the old til Kentucky.

He Saw Widows.

Officer Button, at the Union Depot,
picked up the other day a memoran-
dunn book evidently lost by some one
attending the State Fair. All the
entries are made in "a business-like
manner. and some of them are reada-
BILE. The first entry is:
"Shall take S16 with me to the State
Fair. Second-class hotel good enough
for me. Beware of pickpockets.
Keep your eye open for a cookbook
ing widow. View the animals, and
don't forget to take two clean hank
kerchiefs along"
The second entry reads:
"Fair up to the average. Saw a
widow in the car going up. Didn't
seem to like my style. Somebody has
stuck me bogus half-dollar. Saw
another widow on the grounds.
Rather too stout. Viewed the ami
mails and was kicked by a steer"
Third entry-"Good attendance.
Slept on the floor. Jam on the street
cars. Passed the bogus money off on
a bootblack. Saw widow at the
hotel. Most too lean. Went to the
theatre last night. Can't remember
the play. Saw several widows, but
no chance to make an impression"
Fourth entry-"Big crowd on the
grounds. Beat my way in. Saw a
widow on the fence. Most too bolster
Gus for my locality. Saw a horse
race. One horse beat all the others.
Viewed the machinery and was hit on
the ear by loafer. Saw a widow
viewing the headless rooster. Mouth
too large for my part of the State.
Slept in barn for nothing"
Fifth entry-'.Saw widow in the
postoffice. Blind in one eye. No
good. Big jam. Tried to beat my
way in, but couldn't. Saw a horse
race. Saw a widow ON the grand
stand. Bowed to her. Cold cut.
Viewed the big OK. Saw widow in
Honey Hall. Raised my hat. Got
left. Feel blue"
AS that was the last entry it would
seem as il he gave up in disgust and
started for home. A person supposed
to be him saw widow" at the depot
Friday afternoon, and became so OBJ
noxious that she hit him over the
head with an umbrella and two or
three men reached for him with cow
hide boots.-Free Press.
