ing in Americas this week and put up at
one of the leading hotels of the city. AT

said: "Boys, by grabs, don't feel like
eatin' all these good vittles, ana the old
woman and children over yOnder in
Webster without even sugar to go in their
coffee. No, l won't eat biscuit while
Marlar has to eat corn bread, and as to
ham, it don't agree with a poor man no
how. By grabs, if l only had pone of
corn bread and slice of Drilled side
could eat a little, but It's no use
talking. / can't come it, at least
not without "a drink of whisky" Here
the granger felt for his hip pocket
and pulled out small dark flask, such
as is commonly carried in dry counties,
and turning it up took two Or three swal-
lows of its contents, after which be looked
more reconciled to his fate. At this mo-
ment a waiter approached and handed
the granger q dish of eggs. "NOw, by
grabs, you strike me in weak place. II
there is anything in the world that Marian
has got its eggs, so here goes" Saying
which the granger proceeded to do justice
