invited her out to a luncheon after the
play and when they were comfortably
ensconsed on either side OF a narrow table
opened his heart and mouth simultan,

Maud; call for anything you WISH
Maud raised her eyes to the statuesque
Senegambian in attendance and noncha.

all of the big fellows are of command

the United States.
Ray Charlie Kirkland, the photog-
rapher, tells of a rather unsophisticated
but very hospitable German who fell heir
to a big-pile and celebrated the event by
rendering his friends a gilt-edged blow
out, While arranging for the affair he
consulted an intimate about music for the
dancers. He was advised to have an or
chestra including a cornet, piano, bass
viol and about three violins. Dots all
right for tony peoples" replied the leu
ton with an assumption of cunning. but
[ won't have no dance midout fddles."
B@~ A Laramie paper says a saloon
keeper sent away $40 for a formula which
was warranted to enable him to sell more
beer. The reply was a printed slip which
admonished him to Sell less froth."
The victim of the sharpers must have
been Charlie Kuster. Charlie once gave
800 cold for a prescription which would
subdue the color of his ruby-red beacon
light. The answer was Keep on drink
ing, you old fool, and it'll get blue"
Ba5~Even in a literary center like Chey-
enne some of the denizens sling slang in
pretty lively style. A pair of toughs
were coming up a street the other even
ing when one essayed to repeat to the
other "a darned good thing he had got
off. He said: II told dem dat l was a
scrapper and lived in dat part of town
where dey had de toughest street; dat de
furder up you got, de tougher she was,
an dat | lived in de las house; seer"
ga~A railway man who is known here
once gave a party at his residence in Lar
annie. Among the guests was a mighty
good fellow whose social training had been
neglected. His language was AN atrocious
hoodlum lingo. The host neglected to
present the uncouth friend to his wife.
Finally the brakeman wanted a partner
for a dance the worst way and selected
the lady OF the house. He knew what
was proper and approached her husband
with: Say, Jack, trow me agin yer
rag, will YEP
BS~ The greatest liar ever in Chey-
emit was a printer named Luddy, who
came here direct from his home in Arr
IONA, but who was industrious in making
the impression that he had toured all
over the known world. The loquacious
Annias would get a crowd around him and
start off in this fashion: You ought to
set type in China once. The Pekin Ga
zette runs 800 cases and pays big wages.
The comps are all foot racers. Type is on
shelves around a big room and every
printer has a stick like a wheelbarrow
and carries a step ladder, but for genuine
sport give me a sit on an Indian agency
sheet. Over at Pine Ridge we used to
walk along the river in the evening and
shoot every lone Indian We met. OF
course the agent missed the redskins, but
he never made a kick"
