FROM CHICAGO.
HOTEL KEEPERS SHAKING
DICE FOR FAT
TAKES.

! CHICAGO, May Last evening
happened to stumble on four mel
who were shaking dice with grea
earnestness.
4 After the throw one man said:
9 'Four skies, | win; Give me tn,
Infants Eulalia."
Another said:
1.-TWO pairs; I'll take the King o.
Belgium"
The third merly said:
Olives; I'll take the Duke Vera
qua"
The fourth with a sigh, remarked
81 guess I'll have to take the
Mackay family"
[ ascertained that these men were
proprietors of leading hotels shaking
dice to who would take care of these
wealthy people who are attending
the Fair.
| OF course the Spanish Infanta is a
dead rank mark for the hotel ke0 per
and the pay sure, as the U. S. gov
eminent foots the bills, and Mackay
went for last chance because he
knows when he is being swindled and
won't stand it.
If you monkey with old John he
is liable to get excited and kick
hotel keeper down two pairs of stairs
if he tries to rob him.
Years ago he was considered a nice
fat goose to pluck, but he has be-
come leary of thieves of late AID
"dead on.
Mrs. Mackay is also considt I'D
pretty fly and you can't fool her in
money matters.
Last evening l met the Infanta
Eulalia for the first time. | was in

is pretty close to her Hlost Of the
time
The Secretary wasn't very forward
in introducing me, but 1 told him I'd
write up his political record in pretty
good shape in the next campaign and
he fastened to put me on speaking
terms with the lady. Which induces
me to think he wants to be the next
President. | told Gresham my
name was Lopez Don Falado and my
fine black Spanish phiz and sWarthy
skin stood me in good play.
''Can you speak English" she said,
and on my assuring her that | spoke
it but very imperfectly she got into a
conversational strain. y
81 find Americans very unconven-
tional and | just go about like plain
ordinary citizen. l hate the pink {
