Colonel villa. and the Farmer.

Colonel Villas and the Farmer.
Colonel William F. Villas, of Wisconsin,
was travelling from Madison to Chicago.
Colonel Villas has some reason to believe
that every one in the state of Wisconsin
knows him. Perhaps, also, he has heard
of those statesmen and politicians whose
wonderful memory for faces and names
made them popular with the masses. At
any rate it was apparent that he was
going to see how it worked, and If it was
not a success in one il tance it can hardly
be said to be the fault of Colonel Villas
He entered the smoking car few miles
out from Madison and recognized the man
in the first seat behind the stove. He shook
hands with him and asked after the vari-
GUS members of his family. Then he passed
on to the next. His inquiries here were q
trif1e hazy, but the man evidently knew
Colonel Villas and was f1attered. That en-
boldened the senator to go on; in fact he
was afraid to stop lest he should offend
some one.
Near the center of the car was an old
man with gray chin whiskers, a fur cap
aud top boots, who was an interested spec
tator of the proceedings When his turn
came Villas shook him warmly by the hand
and asked how everything was at the farm.
The man grunted something in reply and
the colonel passed on. After he had left
the car the old man turned to a neighboI
and asked:
"Who's that blamed idiotf"
what" cried the man addressed. "Don'i
you know him?"
"Never saw him before"
"For heavens sake, where do you livef'
Madison"
"And don't know Colonel Vilas?"
The old man reused himself a little
"Oh, that Bill Villas, is it?" he said. ''No
never saw him before, and what in thun
der does he want to make pump handle
out of my arm fori"
'fWhy, he's been elected SENATOR"
"Humphr' grunted the old man. 81 sup
pose that's Why he asked me about my
farm"
Whats the matter with thatf"
Nothing, except that L don't own 1
farm and never did"
And so Colonel Villas diplomacy wen
for naught.-Chicago Tribune.

The Demented Comedian.

N. Y. Advertiser; The appearance Of
Georges. Knight on Broadway, attended
by his mother, has set the tongues Of the
gossips wagging. The probabilities OF
complete recovery are argued pro and con,
but the drift of opinion, based upon SINH
lar cases in theatrical life, is distinctly
against recovery. Mr.. Knight appeared to
be in good health physically, but he failed
to recognize his old friends, and this latter
symptom is taken as convincing proof

public mind, it would seem as though these
arguments are backed by experience.
