THAT L. Bob Pritchard, better known
as 'McCullough's Bob He Is the
governors dresser and has been with
him for about thirteen years. Bob has
q weakness for the ardent, and some
times gets 3 little too much on board,
when the governor will discharge him.
But be is always taken back, for he
knows Mr. McCullo"Gh's ways so well,
is Sc thoroughly ianiliar with his ward
robe, and is really such valuable
dresser that his occasional shortcomings
are forgiven. An Instance OF his value
was shown last year:
"You remember ltr. Mccullough
played Ingomar at tie Boston Theatr,.
to Mary Aude rson's parthenla. Well,
the morning of the day on which the
governor was To leave New York for
the Hub Bob turned up rather the
worse for wear, and the governor sum-
marily dismissed him; told him to go
of ara never show his face again. Boo
went away aud immediately sought

misfortune. Pm fired for good said
he with tears in his eyes. The COVER.
nOr's awful mad Conner knew better,
and so told Bob to go home aud sleep
until afternoon and then come back and
see him.
In the meantime the governor had
started for Boston, without taking bit
of wardrobe and was 10 horrible stew
! to know what he should do. Miss
| Anderson, who was ON the train, sug-
gested that the next day they could
| get up early and go to some costumer's
| ia Boston and get something that
would do. This didu't please Mac
| much, fer he is not an easy man to H.,
| YOU know, but he thought that was the
pest thing that could be done. He
| reached Boston in au unenviaOle frame
of mind, and put up at the TreHnent
! House."
Where was Bob all this timer"
Hold on and I'll tell you. Bob went
home aud slept, and went to see Conner
in the afternoon AL right. Conner told
| HIM 10 get together everything that the
! governor would want in lingo mar,
| and To gs TO Boston on tue night train,
