HOW MAJOR BELLWEATHER AND HIS NEPHEW
TRADED HORSES
A Barrel Of Twenty-Seven- Year-Old Whisky and
Some Ripe Ginger Ale Helped It Along.
The Halt That Was Never Called
lcoPYRIGHT. 1891

Old Major Bellweather is one of the best
known characters living in the neighbor-
hood of Orchard Grass Ky He owns an
| immense farm and is a man of so great an
| Importance that all his foibles are not only
excused but are smiled at by the people Of
the community.
One morning while the Major was sit
/ ting on his porch young man riding a
magnificent horse drew rein at the gate.
| The Majors eyes frightened. not at the
young man, but at the sight of the horse.
The young man dismounted, and as he
turned toward the house the Major advanc-
| ed to meet him.
Good mornin', Fsuh good mornin' -
/ the Major exclaimed, with hearty cordial
| ". Walk right up and have seat

evening and would have called last night
but not knowing anything of your habits

The truth is that the young man had re-

uncle.

said the old man, for you ought TO have
known that | should be delighted to see

Yes, You bet the young fellow ar
swered BEST horse in the country The
young fellow was drunk. The old man
brought out a horse and began 10 draw
comparisons between the two steeds The
young man, in attempting TO walk around
his horse. staggered. The two men sat
down on a trough and talked. Occasionally
they got up and examined each others
horses. After awhile they closed in a deep
conversation. The young man uttered gen
erous sentences. The old man put his arms
about his nephew and spoke of the peculiar
warmth of old ginger ale
Sometime during the afternoon the young
man, mounted on strange horse and ut
tering many wild thoughts, rode into the
village The next day. while the Major
was sitting on the porch, young man
walked up.
How are YOU. subj said the Major
The young man. pressing his brow with 4
/ feversh hand, replied:
Uncle want my horse

A Better Man Required.

The position OF blacksmith at the
Idaho mine is considered such a
desirable place that all the papers
give notice OF the promotion OF

To which the Grass Valley Tele-

position is better than good

Now that the County primarie
are near at hand, the question O
who shall be Boss is beginning tx
be seriously agitated.
There is talk every where that
the old bosses must retire and
give some new men a chance, and
the old bosses say that having
found the duties of bossism full Of
toll, expense and responsibility,
they are quite content to step
down and let other people try
their hands. A boss does not
sleep on bed of roses by any
means.
A good many men think they
could be political bosses who after
trying the experiment are glad
enough to throw up the job and /
get back to the ranks again.
Still every voter has the unde
niable right to aspire to such posi- |
tons, the same right he has to
run for constable or desire to 70
to the Legislature.
The selection of Boss comes
OF a process that no one can ex-
actlv explain. All of a sudden
some man is boss and that seems
to be the end of it. He has no
creditials for the convention and
no paper of any kind but he wakes
up some snoring boss and no one
disputes his claim.
Then again there is the man
who is Publicly voted as the boss
and there some fellow in the back
ground who is really the boss,
that the public never hear of.
The other fellow must be contept
with the glory of his title, but
the fellow behind the scenes is
the real persiInmon raker.
LII studying the question a man
must figure whether he wants the
glory or the persimmons. ii
This year the all bosses OF
Ormsby say that they are ready to
step down for the good of the
party and let the new bosses in.
Now the question arises who !
ire to be the new bosses?
Better let old hands have n q
'rawford primary and let each
'oter write on his ticket who he
wants to be Boss. The fellow
aking the most votes into his Y
amp assumes the duties and re- c
possibilities Of office. t,
Persons wishing to announce ii
heir candidacy for Boss can leave T
heir announcements at this Office d
ccompanied by the regular fee. tt
