Ed did his work thoroughly too. He
used no half way means, His friend Ell
well was landed in good shape early in
the game. But he had been appointed
as teller by Mr. Mechem to lead Dixon
also. This was a harder Job. but Ed
WAS equal 10 this occasion. ON the next
to the last ballot Dixon dropped to 81
votes, 2G less that the 90 necessary to
nominate him. while Glenn went up to
81. Things were interesting for all and
all say they voted for him on the last
ballot and it is well known that at least
dozen delegates who had been voting
for other candidates before also voted
for Glenn ON the last ballot. But much
to every ones surprise Dixon got 90
votes on the last ballot and was declared
the nominee by Mechem while Glenn
dropped to 81. Every one was puzzled
but after the convention Ed claimed to
have wrought the change by counting
for Dixon at least 20 votes that were
cast for Glenn. This seemed to be a
rational and probable explanation Of
this strange phenomenon. But some of
the others among Mr.. Dixon's friends
did not propose to have Ed get all the
glory of DNOn's nomination and they
said that Eds story about counting
Glenn ballots for Dixon was IA lie; that
he didn't do it but that between the
ballot on which Dixon got 81 votes and
one on which he was nominated man
who if not "closer than brother" to
Mr.. Dixon was u least as close, came
down the aisle of the convention and
said quietly to some of the boys that ~
w. had to be nominated if it cost s., 900
That this mysterious individual twho by

moved at once to quietly turn over
some cash in his possession by the aid
of IA newspaper which he had in his hand
and that the work of securing the neces-
sary votes was all done within nine or
ten rows of seats of the stage on the
west side. and that while Mr. Slife WAS
TEN porarily absent they got two men

This fall n. w. pops up again and
John h. is a republican for political pur
poses, so far as the Dixon firm is CON
cerned for the same reason that n. W.
was democrat last fall. They work to-
gether and are both republicans or dem
ocrats as it suits their purpose to be.
Its a regular "thimble rig game with
them of "now you see and now you don't

Dixon poses as a great lawyer. One
would rather be as much of lawyer AS
Dixon claims to be than to be as great a
lawyer rs Rufus Choate or Daniel Web
ster actually was. But to tell the truth
there are no less than twenty lawyers in
Pueblo who, to put it mildly, are at least
his peers in legal learning and ability
and his superiors as men. In the three
years Dixon has been here he has never
contributed dollar or done thing for
the success of the republican ticket cx-

| This is their explanation. This
ought, they think, TO be satisfactory.
May be it will be: But-weil any way
Dixon was nominated, or at least the
chairman of the convention said he was
and his name is on .he republican ticket.
Dixon has had a peculiar ;areer here
He came here from Maryland IN the
spring of 1891. Even before he came his
brother John X. announced to the
world that when his brother got here
the republican party would have u man
who knew enough to be district judge
and deplored the hopeless condition Of
the party in that particular at that
time. 1t was doubtless the deep and
yearning sympathy of John r. Dixon for
the then forlorn condition of the repub-
lican party in that particular that caused
INN to prevail on his brother to come to
Colorado. Well, n. w. came out here in
the spring of 1891 and looked the field
over. Then he went back and in the
fall of 1891 returned and with John K.
opened up an office in this city. In the
senator. In the spring OF 1893 he was
candidate for city attorney and Mr.
Nicholas beat him. Then Dixon "sulked
in his tent" and did nothing. In the fall
of 1893 Dixon was candidate for dis
trict judge and Patt Wicks beat him
and beat him fairly. Nothing to the
contrary was ever charged. Then John
r., who processes to be democrat Sc
cured the nomination on the democratic
ticket for the same place and n. w. de
clined to do anything for the republican
ticket and went in and supported John
r. and fought Wicks. John r. never
had any show for election but they did
this to beat Wicks and elect Voorhees,.
All of n. W's. particular cronies were
in the bolt. Voorhees, was elected by
reason of this move.

CHAPTER XII.
TIE RETURN.

Late one warm spring evening, just
as twilight was giving way to darkness
and the stars were coming out, hack
drew up before the old Vamley tavern.
Among the passengers was q white
haired gentleman of dignlied mien,
wearing a broad brmmed white hat
and long frock coat OF dark material
tdat contrasted strikingly with the we'll
worn trousers and vest OF Confederate
gray; also two younger men, each at
tired in a threadbars uniform. The
elderly man was assisted from the
vehicle by the younger men, who care
fully supported him until the tavern
door was reached.
"Glad to see you back, Colonel Mar
few" said a number OF man, extending
their HauEts. "how are you, sir?"
''How are you, Captain Marfew?"
Doctor Marfew, how do you come on,
sir?
The coloners old friend, Oscar VAN
Lev, promptly appeared with beaming
smile of surprise and welcome.
"Was scarcely expecting you to-day, "
he sale kindly, as be held the colonel's
hama. "Been looking for you so long
and disappointed so often that l began
10 desaair OF ever seeing you again,
Jasper. Am sorry to see you crippled,
sir. Lost leg, see. Sad, sad times,
Jasper"
"In the Wilderness, Oscar, and my
life came near going with it, AID ths
colonel sighed deeply.
The kind-hearted old tsvern-keepor
made few more remarks as be glanced
into his old friends face which had al
tered so within the four years Of war
lust ended, and then furtlvely at the
stick that served him as leg; then he
took him by the arm and assisted him
to an upstairs room.
Il wrote TO Mrs. Marfew to meet me
here without fail. remarked the Colo
mel ardently, as he took seat at the
open window. HAS she arrived Jet,
Oscar? or course she will not disap-
point me. !"
The tavern keeper turned aud gave
him a look Of surprise that indicated
disappointing intelligence.
MRS. Marfew!" he exclaimed. "Why,
is il possible that you are no better 10
formed Concerning your wife than that,
Jasper? Why, sir, just IS soon as il
was learned that she had hSrbored
Howard she was hurried of to Camp

Young Writer, Bucyrus, O., asks:
"Who wrote the humorous paragraphs
for the big morning papers Of New
York? They must be very prolific
writer's. and do not see how they can
think OF so many things for sos days
in the year"
Everybody writes them. 1t is not a
member OF the staff who does the
humorous paragraphs OF metropolitan
paper generally. About so bright
writer's in New York, connected with
other publications very often, buy
cigars with joke money. Each week
they write 90 to so OF these paragraphs,
and then taking them Ia their market
basket go out aud dispose Of them.
They 90 to the keenest editor hrst
and he takes what suits him. Then
they 90 to one who is a little less alert
with what Is left. and so on Till the lot
Is disposed Of. 1t would be amusing TO
give here the order in which the differ
ent papers are arranged ia the mind OF
the Joke writer and the name OF tho
last editor they go 10, but l dare not
do IL here, though l have been let into
the secret by friends who are in the
business.
Those who think that Mr.. Pulitzer
writes all the original humorous non
pariel jokes in the World and Mr. Dana
those that appear in the Sun make a
great mistake. Sometimes there will be
a week at time when neither OF these
gentlemen writes joke FOR the paper,
for by the time they have entertained
visitors, shown them the new job press
and how to pick a business card out OF
its Jaws without leaving thumb on the

Christmas poem and few book reviews,
