acter Of the entertainment. He said we
ought TO be more careful, too, In the
manner Of inviting men to fllimportant
offices. Out In Leadville there was an
elderly German whom we will call Mr..
Frankfurter, for that was not the name
Of our hero. He was concerned with
Mr.. Tabor at the time the big strike was
made which turned them into million
aires.
One evening Mr.. Frankfurter was
prowling around the same old lager beer
place where he loved to linger before
his prosperity. He was talking with
Colonel YOwler, of Buckskin.
"By the way, Frankfurter," says
Yowler, "are you going to the big ban
ket?" he always called it "banket."
s'Vhat banket?" says Frankfnrter.
"Why, the banket up at Tabor's. All
the great men of Colorado will be there,
and all OF the gentlemen OF Leadviile." =
"Py kolly, is dos posseeble? l get no
invite for dot banket."
"Why, you are partner OF Tabor's,
amt you?"
''Yaw, vas still pardner, but Tabor
he has psgoolier notions about dose
tings. He invites no one but chenille
mems. But look here, Colonel Yowier.
some day will get me my revenge on
Tabor. 1 will give already big oxpen-
siVe banket myself, and | won't invite a
-chentleman-not a-chentleman!
You are all right, colonel. BY Chinks!
you will be the first man 1 will inwite!'
The presidential battle is near enough
TO the northwest so that the occasional
boom of big gun is heard above the
squeal Of the planning mill, the squeak
OF the logging sled and the roar OF the
grist mill.
The presidential campaign costs too
much and comes too often, but it has a
healthful effect. 1t has the same effect
on the republic that a well agitated els
tern pole has in a ciStern. It gives 1t u
a good oxygenatiOn. The purest water
becomes offensive il permitted to stand
perfectly stagnant for too long. Lei in
the light and air and you prevent decay.
That is where we have the advantage
over kingdom or an empire, 1t is said
by those who are familiar with foreign
potentates and their methods that there
is not a throne in the Old World that is
not alive with cockroaches and other
bacteria.
That would be impossible in this coun-
try. Just as man gets TO think that
he and Tammany together can make the
axis Of the earth incline little more

Word comes 10 me recently that in re-
arranging the list OF the Four Hundred
my name has been overlooked, aud there
has been considerable carping about it.
QThis makes twice that Mr.. McAlliSter
has counted me out. His only reason
for doing this is not that my standing
aud wealth at present are not all they
should be, but because inherit coarse
integrity together with tendency to-
ward trade.
But why should the thoughtless and

in my face now? Why should l be de-
barred from leading the march at the
Patriarch's ball or be compelled to eat
tea by myself. while up on Fifty-seventh

frightful rate.
Why did ever tell Mac that my ia

his estimation. At the club also one
time l asked him what ne would have

was awful dry. l noticed that he did
not talk any more-for l am keen OBJ
server-and so judged that this had
something to do with the way l have
been treated. At his house once also
be passed a porcelain receptacle around
while we were smoking, and when he
came TO me and held it toward me l
tipped the ashes OF my cigar into it.
