his cousins.
81 should like to interview you, Mr..
Nye," said the reporter.
The funny man of the Boomerang
pulled his long blonde mustache gently
aud tenderly, curled one of its ends up
around his nose, and remarked, with a
quiet CLEAN in his hazel eye: ''Pm
sorry didn't know you were coming.
/ should have had my teeth filed, and
would have written you out an inter-
view, questions and all correct"
''What is your opinion of interview

THAT depends upon the interviewed.

am newspaper man myself. Joseph
Cook says we ought to be hung, and
Freddie Gebhardt says we are scala
wags' Now think Joe and Freddie
are great horrid things, do"
Again that characteristic twirl of the
mustache, as the interviewer asked:
How do you like Chicagop''
"Yes."
SLOW long have you been here?"
"A week. | came visiting for my
Bo0lneranJ went back on me, kicked,
recoiled you might say. The Laramie
doctors are a peculiar set. One of them
dOctored me for malaria, and another
for inflammatory rheumatism; then
they shipped what was left of me to
Greeley, Col, and they have sent the
rest of me on here. But I'm getting
bstter, and after Northern trip shall
go home"
"Who is running the Boomerang IN
your absence?"

Seriously, who is taking your

Nobody is taking it very seriously,
but IL is good deal m IRE serious than

"Well, if you wont give it away,

Lydia Pinkhamp
yes, Lydia, the same. She and

because she was such giddy young
thing. Still. feel that she lost good
deal in losing me, and / should like to
see her have something to make up
for it,

Il did, but | was only fooling."
"What is your opinion of Mrs. Lang

"She died easy"
"How do you regard Carter Harri-
SOM"
"Carter doesn't know me. He
hain't had the pleasure of meeting me,
and won't commit myself just yet"
"How do you class the dudeP"
II don't class him. just call him
.dudy,' with two syllables, and let him
go. Call him pet names; call him
dudy."
"What do you think of the Cars
coronationp"
"rd rather he should be coroner
ated than l. Now, my friend, l feel
stupid interval coming on. Remember
L am an invalid, and go easy with your
questions. know the trying situation
in which you are placed. There is my
cousin and his wife gazing at you as if
you were an escaped curiosity. / know
how it is myself. The general public
looks on newspaper folks as peculiar
specimens. / have had people before
now look at me as if theXwondered how
L got away. 1t is painful, shuddering
curiosity, similar to that with which a
smallpox doctor is generally regarded.
Don't stare at my bald head. 1t won't
do you any good to ask me where l lost
my hair, for won't tell you, and l
won't tell you, either, what is making

depends on whether the party is
sweetheart or husband. They often
vote against the latter party if he
doesn't go all right on temperance
questions. There used to be woman
Justice of the Peace out there, and she
fined her husband for getting drunk.
Women are eligible as jurymen in Wy
oming. They ride to election in car
riages, and seem to enjoy it"
"What sort of weather do you have

"lt SHOWS pretty muchly. Electric
blue is my favorite color. 1 don't know
how old am. Transatlantic travel is |
