JONES' STORY.
1t is Told the President Concern
ing an Appointment.

Senator John p. Jones, of New
ada, is commonly supposed to spend
most of his time these days ponder
ing on the ever~perplexing silver
problem. That his ideas on the subs
ject are worthy of grave thought is
acknowledged on all sides, and Pres
ident Cleveland was said to be es-
pecially pleased with Senator Jones
able speech at the monetary confer
ence at Brussels. He was anxious
that Mr.. Jones should continue as
one of the American delegates when
the conference should reassemble.
Senator Jones pleaded a multitude
of private affairs, which would pre-
vent him from keeping the place
One morning last April President
Cleveland begged the favor of a phi
yate interview with the Senator at
the White House. The silver ad-
vocate from Nevada promptly made
an appointment. The President
shook hands cordially, and eyed the
Senator with that weIl-known air of
diplomacy and tact for which Mr..
Cleveland is famous.
''Now Mr.. Jones, said the Presi-
dent, not relaxing a whit in his alert
attitude of statesman like astuteness.
"now, MIR. Jones, | want you to tell
me what you think of Mr.. 80 and So
whom | have been considering for an
important appointment in reference
to the silver question
Let me ask you one question
first, Mr.. Cleveland" returned the
Senatorial legislator. Have you ab-
pointed him to the place."
Il have. " answered the ready in
ventor of epIgrams.
Mr., President" said Mr.. Jones.
"have you ever heard a story of
Dennis O'Shaughnessy, who kept q
saloon in Buttc!o. your native city! |
One afternoon Dennis went up stairs |
to put on some new clothes and left |
his wife in charge of the bar below. |
Mrs. O'Shaughnessy arranged her |
self comfortably behind the bar to |
await customers.
pretty soon Patrick Roonan |
came in, very thirsty, and asked for
beer The matronly barmaid
gave him draught of the foaming
liquid.
" 'Ah-h!' sighed Mr.. Roonan,
wiping his lips. Mrs. O'Shaugh-
messy, PLACE to charge the foive
centsH Mrs. O'Shaugnessy ran to
the back stairs.
" Dinnis!' she yelled; 'Dinnis, is
Pat Roonan good for a glass of
beer2'
Has he drunk it," responded
Dennis from above.
