Secretary requested to ask Mr.. How
ellis to found a story on the marvellous
growth Of Puyallup, with promise OF ex-
penses and entertainment while here.
Voted that the stomach OF Colonel
Jagby Of this place be sent to Chicago
as a specimen Of Pnyallups's interior
decorations.
Moved and seconded that water Is a
more destructive element than fire.
Resolved that Hamlet was deranged,
and that James Owen O'Conor's concep-
tion Of the part was correct.
Voted that an old Spanish mission be
erected here at an early date, located at
the terminus of the Puyallup and Pre-
basco's addition line OF horse cars.
Resolved that this town has always
had a good, steady, healthy growth, and
that we do now adjourn.
Coming north from Los Angeles
through the great groves OF cactus near
the Mohave desert l got off a good thing.
We were a merry party, filling fifteen
sleeping cars. We were ell crowded, OF
course, but gay, l slept with Peter
Jackson, who was going to play at
Stockton.
In the morning, as we lay there awake,
and waiting for the gents TO get all
washed I'D and give the gentlemen a
chance, / said to Mr.. Jackson, Pete"
l says, do you know what tie 1t is that
binds this country to the republic OF
Mexico?"
"Why, certainly" he said. 81 know
something about repartee myself. It's
the railroad tie"
Guess again." l said, spllntering the
| ceiling Of the car with one blow of my
fist and hurting myself very much, for
we were in the upper berth. That is
not correct, Mr.. Jackson. II is the
cacti."
l gave this to the Orcgonian, but the
editor counted the words and said it
would be SIS or 10 days.
1t is now published for the first time,
but will be used in England by me next
season. l 90 there to visit the grave Of
Shakespeare and lecture on it. 1t is
strange that no one has ever lectured
on Shakespeare's tomb.
Shakespeare was a ready man. No
one ever got ahead Of him. The same
is LTuc VI DdCOu. DdCOu was IuO AlOSCo
p. Handy Of his time.
At one town. we found a man who was
In Jail for imperSonating me. He was
getting some hospitality and had been
taken in the arms Of admiring friends
til IL was ascertained that he did not
speak French well and had also shaved
his head. He spoke French, but not
with the Partisan accent. He was din
ing with the division superintendent OF
the Lick observatory at the time, and
also made a crack at Aristotle, which
his host knew | would not have done, so
the fraud was jagged, and | had some
difficulty in identifying myself even.
Finally the opera house man came in
and compared my looks with a picture
he had in his locket. Turning my face
to the light, he sighed, and said: Alas,
yes: this Is the man! See the lines OF
care running around the mouth, but
giving it up as too much Of a job. This
is the man, it is plain; Sc are his feat
ures."
He was sarcastic, but I was unmoved.
AfterwSrd friends came into my room
and asked what had been burning. They
Smtlltu UuIub uhll i u bnC lOOms a Il
l could not conceal il any longer and
so admitted that 1t was where | had
heaped Goals of fire on his head.
This brings us to Centralla, Or. 1t is
not the liveliest town / ever saw, but
kind treatment there makes us remem-
Der it with pleasure. Half the stores 1
saw were for rent, but we were not
there to keep store, aud so we did not
mind.
Every one at the hotel went to 1.-THE
ogera." One of the ladies of our party
remained, having heard the opera be-
fore. At $50 her fire went out, so she
went below for a porter to attend to 1t.
One sleepy hand was in the Office. He
woke up and tried to do the best he
could He seemed to be a new hand.
He was some time getting the material
and awkward in starting the fire, but
finally he succeeded. Then as he went
away he said: when 1 come to this
town again, I'm goiug to stop of at an
other house. l can't sell goods all day
and then keep up the fires in the hotel
all night. 1t saps my whole being"
We now come to Eugene, where there
dIc 1fOtVOV dNAOo VI SOO0 AlAHN mus
for sale within the city limits. 1t vas
here that two young men came to the
door and asked for tickets in exchange
for inside business lots at Whatcom.
They started TO say that Whatcom never
had a But they were hustled In the
back way and Quoted down, agreeing
to help shift our scenery for us for ad-
mission.
A tight lady came on the train yester-
day. Oh, how / hate to see that! II men
would ever get any sense or cease to
hold the wine cup to the lips of a per-
feet lady, / would say: WELCOME,
death. Goodby. vain world; I'm going
home"
did not notice 1t till she aud the jag,
as they call 1t, tried to ONE 10 the car
door abreast. Then she saw that one OF
them would have 10 wait for the other.
She stepped back, placing her hand to
her lips with an Apologize air TO the
Jag, but 1t was not going to be outdone
in courtesy and waited for her.
She came in later on with a quick, i'm
patient oath, and sitting down with her
whole being cracked one of the axles Of
the car. She was on her way to Nan
sene, where she lived.
