The Atlantic City correspondent OF
tile Philadelphia Press writes: The tall
and wiry and fiat hated form of Colonel
Pat Donan, of whom 1t is insisted that
lie wrote Proctor Knots famous Duluth
speech, arrived at Atlantic City Satur-
day night. Il was his first visit. He is
accustomed rather to the undulating
grassy pillows OF the wild Western prai-
ries than to the salty waters of the ocean.
Yet he has travelled everywhere, and the
reason for one of his hveliest visits East
was to act as delegate at a great religious
convention. lie raves and poetizes over
the loveliness of the sea and the ladies.
He is too popular with women to be a
marrying man. This is the way he re-
tains his popularity:
Last year he was in Chicago. A news
paper man called on him Just as he was
leaving his hotel. Il wish to have a word
with you, Colonel
Certainly; sit right down.
They talked for half an hour. Then
the Colonel said, Aud now must say
au revoir. ] must catch my train, and,
in the meantime, have got just time
enough to visit the most beautiful girl in
Chicago.
Then the wise colonel got carriage
and made a call on every young woman
of his acquaintance ia the city. The
next morning each of atleast hundred
charming girls to whom he had paid his
respects. reading the report of the col
oners interview, laid the JUNCTION to her
soul that she was the "most beautiful
girl in Chicago. n'and that the tall and
angular Colonel Donan was the hand
soonest man in existence.

1t was big man and a little man who
were thus passing compliments on Mon

man who dared the little man up stairs
in business block, as well as preceded
him by minute. Several parties who
were anxious to see the scrap" fol-
lowed the little man up, and into room
at the end of the hall. They ex-
pected to find the big man peeling off
for the fray, but he wasn't there. On a
nail driven into the window sill fiuttered
piece of pants cloth. Ona shed 10 feet
below was a dent. In the alley below
the shed stood man. 1t was the big
man. He looked up at the faces in the
window, shook his fist, and loudly
shouted:
"Oh, just let me get hold of you and
I'll crush every bone in your body!'-
