HE ELUSIVE LITTLE AID.

Gus Beaulieu, the United States dep
uty marshal, appreciates the value of
newspaper advertising. In vest rday
mornings paper Gus advertised for
printer. 1t was only a modest littl4
three-line adj, but the effect would
not have been better had Gus made
his want known by covering all
the bill boards in the city. The adver-
tisement directed the printers TO make
application TO Mr.. Beaulieu at the Car
endon hotel. 1t is thought that large
number of prints stayed up all night
so as to present themselves 10 Gus
bright and early, for the sun
had hardly made IFS appearance in
the East before a crowd gathered In
the Clarendon office. BY O'Clock the
crowd had swelled TO such proportions
that late-cOmers could do nothing but
get in line outside the door of the hotel.
Tom Foley was awakened by the noise
on the street, and. looking down from
window. he was amazed to see 200 or
BOO men in front Of the entrance,
pushing and fighting for Abundance.
IAN | awake or am only dreaming
of world 5 fair rush?" murmured Tom:
He took another look at the crowd
and then exclaimed;
mo: that's not a worlds fair crowd!
It's gang of printers. and there's a
fight down In the office-Or murder.
Tom knows printer when he sees
one, 1t is not known whether it is their
Intelligent faces or their aristOcratlc
bearing that distinguishes them from
the common herd in the eyes of Mr.
Foley.
"What's all this row abOut?'' cried
Mr.. Foley, As he appeared in the hotel
office.
1--WE want to see Gus Beaulieu," de-
manded the printers. in concert.
Hes not here and he won't be here
to-day. What do you want OF hIm?'
asked Tom.
At this point, 500 newspapers were
pulled out of SEQ pockets and 800
fingers pointed to 800 ads, and 800 men
began talking in about fifteen different
languages. One man pulled one gun
from one pocket and shouted one word
and one crowd dispersed.
But that wasn't the end of Foley's
troubles. Every minute during the
forenoon brought an inquiry for Gus
Beaulieu. At noon, Foley. completely
Disguised. was relieved by his brother
Mike. But the printers kept on COM

call pretty smooth man. He wasn't
the man to play joke on, because he
always turned the tables.
This man Beaulieu thinks he IS go
ing to wOrry me, does he? Well, I'll
Just get even with him by sending every
printer that comes in here over to the
marShal's Office. Let Beaulieu face this
music himself" is the way Mike rea-
sOned the thing out. And he began
sending the prints" over to the mar
shal's office. Gus didn't happen to be
in and, consequently, Marshal Campbell,
Mai. Daggett and Lieut.. Jack Camp
bell were compelled TO receive the
visitors. But these three pleasant and
Obliging gentlemen soon became veXed.
Marshal Campbell ordered the major
and the lieutenant to take their guns,
station themselves at the foot of the
stairs and allow 10 more printers to
come up. And that is the way the pro
cessiOn was stopped.
Along toward O'Clock Gus Beaulieu
put in an appearance. As he entered
the Office he quietly asked:
''Has any one been in to see me this
afternoon"
The marshal and his two deputies
tainted.
Moral When you advertise for q
printer, Gus, call for one that doesn't
drink. smoke, chewOr swear. The rush
won't be SO great, then.
