Times, but now of New York. The ''benetit'
occurred last summer, but it has only now
become public property. Charlie will be re-
membered as the great American enter
tainer" OF the Minneapolis Tribune, and
when he gravitated to Chicago aud finally to
New York this popularity gravitated with
him. Frank Richards is one of the best
posted men on metropolitan places and
topics in the Row. He spent year or two
In the northwest. as his many friends in st.
Paul will remember, and recently led
to New York. Charlie Faye met him. He
was delighted to meet Chicago man in New
York. ''W-w- why, Richards, how are youa

They started. At the Hoffman Richards
was becomingly impressed with the royal
splendor of the bar and cafe, and when the
twain seated themselves at one Of the tables
in the bar aud the waiter brought them a
napkin with the drinks and pretzel, Rich
ards said 20, my, isn't this more than gays"

'W-w-winnipeg Why. that's no town at

''The devil you do!'' said Richards,
''Point him out when he comes in. Win be

chic, to the last degrse. 81 intend to take
you up to see the obelisk. but It's so late, "
said Charlie, that We will have 10 90 to-

WAS RECALLED with the latest exclusive inside
journalistic gossip and kindred subjects, for
all Of which he, as the occasion demanded,
Expressed his thanks and obligations.
Gam so sorry you are not acquainted with

Chicago boys, as they all know On the
T-B-escs."

10 impress Richards with glance at
metropolitan magnifcence before introducing
him To the equalOr of the boyery, and ac-
cordingly took him 10 Fiity-niutn street and
Seventh avenue and gave him an outside
view Of the Navarro is,ts and other massive
apartment houses. From there he led the
Chicago lamb to Fifth avenue where he
pointed out thevanderbiIt palaces. "T-i-here,

Overcome by so much and such unac-
customed magnIfcence, Richards begged
Fave To desist. They took the elevated road
To the TT basH building where Charlie enlisted
the services OF local scribe To complete the
round of festivities as his representative.
"B-b-e sure you d-d-on't let anything hap
