headquarters for visiting colored men. and
when he drfted in there Il self-important
colored man came up and engaged him in
conversation. He said; Il see you re5from
| New York. How are things In the New

The reporter guessed they were all right.
The colored man said, Now. don't you
| think Harrison is gaining little? hear
