How he Tangled Up the Wind.

All old Kansans, and every one who travelled
in the state in days gone by, says the Kansas
City Star, remember''Old Nc Meekin, "who dur
genial host of mroe hotels than any other man.
add once famous as the landlord of the immor'
tai left house in Topeka, whose walls could
they speak, might tell story as thrilling il NOT
as bloody, as those of the BasUile in the time of
Robesperre. In 1867 Mac was proprietor of the
Marshall house in Ellsworth then and for years
afterward the hardest" town on the Am eric sn
continent. The structure was veritable shell
of lumber. its partitions of thin boards reaching
only half way to the roof SO that ordinary con-
versation in any room could be heard in any
part of the wretched building. 1t was always
crowded, however, for business in the new
'city" was lively.
One night in February of 1865 when the wind
was blowing fearfully, the house rocking like q
ship at sea- and the cold so terrible that every
thing liquid on the premises was frozen solid
the snow sitting through every crevica until it
banked itself in great drifts on the floor of
every room, commercial traveller who had
self warm managed to wake the landlord by
repeated pounding on the wall of his little Z by
den, intending to ask for more bed clothing

he appealingly chartered as Mac entered with a
dim kerosene lamp in his hand, I'm almost
chilled to death"
'No," replied Mac SIN awful sorry. The
house is jammed full, and everything is in use.
But I'll see what can do for you"
The willing landlord then went out into a
woodshed and, returning in few moments
with a piece of a frozen fsh-net about three
yards long, but the meshes of which were four
inches square, threw it over the chattering fell
low with the remark. There, that NAV helm
tangle up the wind little-its the BEST I can
do, and he went out.

Fat Men ct the Front.

Two forceful men who occupy very promi-
nent places in the public view in this coun-
try to-day are fat men. They are Hon.
Grover Cleveland and Speaker Tom Reed.
Both came up from from the ranks and both
have excellent staying qualities.
Grover Cleveland has been President. and
he stands very good chance of being
President again. He leads all other candi-
dates for the democratic nomination for
President His hold upon the party is
something phenomenal. When he was
President he led his party. His will power
excited admiration. Even Andrew jackson
did not show greater determination in
carrying out policy that he had adopted.
Grover Clevelands independence made him
enemies, but it won the approval of the
people.
Speaker Tom Reed is almost as strong
with republicans as Grover Cleveland is
with the democrats. He fought his way
to the front by sheer force of will and
brains, and in the present congress he is
the Republican party. In the House his
will is law. He brushes aside opposition as
he would fly that tickled his rather in
significant nose. Those who get in his way
are in danger of being trampled upon. For
precedents he has no respect, and for
minorities the most supreme contempt.
Being bitter partisan, he has few warm
friends. Even his party associates resent
his dictatorial ways. but they follow him.
They are afraid to do otherwise. They are
virtually slaves trotting along by the side
of his victorious chariot.
And the impression is growing that he
will be the republican candidate for Presi-
dent. The next national campaign will be
fought by the republicans on bloody shirt
issues, and he is preparing the issues. No
other republican leader seems to be so we'll
fitted to represent these issues. This he ap-
pears to understand. In other words, he is
trying to bring about condition Of affairs
that will make his nomination necessity.
He hopes that when the time for making a
nomination arrives his party viii be pre-
pared to accept him as its candidate
1t would not be surprising therefore if, in
1892. the two great parties should be led by
two forceful fat men. Grover Cleveland
measures around the waist a little more
than Speaker Tom Reed, but his feet are
not so large. Neither is unweildly. Both
are active and in the enjoyment of excellent
health. A very interesting campaign it
would be with these men as the standard
bearers. Fat mems clubs would be popular
and fat men would not hesitate to tell their
weight.

Surprises of the Telephone.

It's good one on Steve Holbrooke. and this
is the way it happened. relates the Electrical
ReUtetc. George Porter, the genial and popu-
lar, recently was a western cruise of pleas
ure, and one day landed in Tacoma. Wash. He
knew Holbrooke was located in that city, and
determined to play practical joke on HIM.
Porter was stopping at the Tacoma hotel which
was but short dstancs from Holbrooke's
office. Going to the telephone he called I'D
MIR. Holbrooke, and the following conversation
ensued:
''Hellor'
'Hellor
