The Story of a Shirt

A tall, lean, lank man from Illinois had
his feet upon the table in the reading room
at Wizards tonight, when he alternately
looked at the ceiling and at a 'two-tor five,
which persistently refused to draw The
fire in his cigar gradually dwindled out,
and the lean man sorrowiully but careful
" laid it away in his vest pocket for future
reference. Turning around to a party of
friends who were sitting near him, he said
Boys. have YOU heard The Tale of the
ShirtP No? Well, now that is one of
the most peculiar pranks that politics ever
played upon Illinois. In "a district
convention was held in Peoria to elect
delegates to the democratic national con-
vention. Among the men who tried to be
sent to the Peoria convention was S. Corn.
ing Judd. He was defeated. as usual but
he came down. nevertheless. to see the
boys have their fun. Now, among the
delegates were Mike Corcoran, and his
chum and bosom friend, Bad jim Con
norton. Mike is comical- Hooking fellow.
lie is about twice as wide as he is HIGH.
and he loves good time better than any
body | know. Mike and Bad jim
roomed together The night before the
convention Bad jim came ia full of fun
and some other things that you take out
of a bottle. He saw the peaceful Mike
sleeping. and the spirit of mischief en-
tered him.
On chair was Mikes shirt. 1t was
undoubtedly the biggest shirt in Peoria.
Carefully opening the window he dropped
| the undergarment 10 the ground and his
delight was somewhat intensified when he
saw passing tramp disappear with it in
the darkness. Closing the window he put
out the light and got into bed. You can
just believe that there was howl when
Corcoran awoke in the morning and
couldn't find his shirt. tor. as a
true disciple of Jetfersonian sim
plicity, he had only one with him
Bad Jim and four bell boys secured the
town after shirt that would tit him, but
all in vain. In the meanwhile the time
for the meeting of the convention was
drawing nigh. To make a long story
short, Corcoran gave Judd his proxy and
Judd entered the convention as delegate
BY one of those curious twists of politics
he was elected to go to the national con-
convention. His luck didn't desert him
there, and he was made the member of
the democratic national committee from
Illinois. When President Cleveland be-
gan to look about him for man to sue
coed Postmaster Palmer at Chicago he lit
upon Judd don't know what Bad jim
has bagged out of his deal. but he ought
to have something, for if he hadn't thrown
Corcoran's shirt out of the window, Judd
would never have been where he is now.
That. gentleman. is my tale of shit

Il think this bouncing. constituent
feature of the initiation of members to
the different winter sporting clubs, is
dangerous amusement, remarked man
al the Ryan, as the members of the st.
Georges SuowShne club. attired in their
white blanket suits. were buSily engaged
in tossing new member high into air.
Il remember il was quite general at
college when | was n young man, al
though we used a piece of canvas, the
t0ssers holding to handles that were at
taChed at the extreme ends of the canvas.
We tossed man until we got tired. One
night a slight young fellow was tossed.
As the canvas was pulled taut, he was
sent high into the air and falling on the
canvas was again sent ceilingward. The
next time he fell in such a way that his
body landed on the canvas, but his head
dropped over one Of the ends. The fall
was sufficient to break his neck, and be-
fore we knew it we had a corpse on the
canvas. Since that night | have never
enjoyed the bouncing exercise. .'"-Pion-
