called on Ramsey. He came
ont in like costume, and af-
ter talking some time was
allowed to return to bed frozen. Mccall

fore he came out, received the boys and
set them up literally. Then the boys
saw John Copeland home and John had a
stone jug that tickled the serenaders.

time to go to bed. He retired and WAS
soon in the arms of Morpheus. He
learned to-day that the serenaders
search in vain for his residence in the
hope of waking him up and for the first
time in his life he is glad that his friends
missed him. But it was Il merry crowd

thought thst the honor would most

George Fl. Walsh secured the territor-

one OF the most loyal politicians in the

himself about the governcrship. He
hoped that NJ. d. Day might be ap-

year, for the governorship. worth ST.
5U0 Q year, but that he stood no chow
for the appointment. He said McCor-
