A Scheme 10 EnguIi Our Visitors
and Get At Their True In
wardness by Rosy and Ann
Der Liquids.

Wind or rain, snow or sunshine, are all
alike TO His Honor, Judge David Park
Hidden. Nothing but miscarried bid
70 party can mar the calm and even
holy serenity Of bis mobile countenance.
The eagle eye that can pierce a hole
through the soul Of horizontal drunk at
long range, was not a whit dimmed bv
leaky clouds. Even the hallowed savings
Of "What might have been'-if the jug
hadn't broken on yesterdays excursion
did not seem to rent place in the
thoughts Of His Honor.
Friends, grangers, hAyseeds and con-
stituents: We are on the brink of an all
fired precipitous precipice. This hazy,
murky ami damp poor atmosphere
must be dispelled ere the gong yells
forth the wilching hour Of midnight.
This is the day Of all days, an tonight
will be the night Of all nights, an / sort
o guess il will be all night, too. To-day
the land Of the raccoon, ipossum, buffalo,
fish, gOOber peas, aud patent guano fer
tilted soil, is given up TO the great repre-
sentatives Of Missouri and her sister
State, Kansas, where the leaping antelope
with is white tail raised abaft like flag
staff, has given way to herds of porkers
and cattle, who Craze in sloping valleys
and drink the crystal waters Of limpid
streams. To-day We entertain a people
who dwell where once the noble red man
was wont to,roam with the rainbow paint
ed around his face and .cargo of Jersey
Lightning in his hold The gentle
wal eyed squaw who packed the
grub rom the agencies 10 the wigwam
and swore in eight different languages is
no longer 10 be seen in that fair land Of
beef that can be cut without razor. Yes,
boys, we must throw ourselves for To-
night there will be a sound Of reyelinR
within the banquet halls Of the Peabody,
champagne will fly as quick and strong a.
the water Of the mighty Mississippi and
clearer than the pearly percOatfons Of
Wolf creek. We must do ourselves
honor an I'm happy 10 see the commit
tee OF hosts all bear good records, so il
you want 10 20 in on O pool I'll give you q
pointer right here that we're goin' 70 lay
our guests clean under the table. even IL
one or two Of the big guns are stayers.
Right here | might mention that It's a
toss up whether ! hold court tomorrow
or not, for you can bet your
sweet life I'm just going to held
up my end Of the table tonight

OF "HO-yes, hO-yes,' the tune Of wait
