Sundry Yarns.
Senator Tnlman Is supremacy happy.
The notorety for which he is striving
daily has come to him in Chicago with
little or no effort says the New York
Tribune's correspondence. HIS headquar-
tiers az the Sherman house are crowded
TO sunocation by admirers and worship
pers of his pitchfork philosophy, to whom
he necessarily pours out the stream OF his
peculiar rhetoric. He receives mis- rural
visitors lying with muddy boots on a bed
that once must have been toleraby clean.
HIS hair in its wild disorder is a picture
Of his mind. Coat and waistcoat are
flung In a corner Of the room to keep COM
pany with cigar stumps. The air is red
client with stale tobacco and the fumes
Of alcohol There is everywhere a studied
disregard Of the conventionahties Of life
designed to impress the caller. 1t works
TO a charm and II seems almost to i'm
press the hero Of It all with its genuine
ness. He has played the game so long
he has nearly succeeded in making himself
believe that he is the IMAM of the people"
Hungry bellies and hard times are con-
dillon which kin argument and refuse

and then he half closes his eye to watch
the euect upon his listeners. After awhile

The oracle rolls over and punching two

continues: "Financiers? We've had
enough of them. They have financed all
the money into their own pockets. 1t has
been the custom to feed the masses slow
poison. They have given them a blow be-
fore the eyes this time. They have saint
ed John lBull. The st. after Wall street
stands for another saint" He scarcely
stops to take breath. while his audience
is gaping in silent wonder at the great
man rolling over once more in his ecstatic
Indignation. "The few have stolen the
labor of the millions" he goes on to say.
The millions are now rising to resent the
outrage. They are crying out against the
combinations and the suspicious dealings
In high places. Unholy alliances have
been formed in places where Justice

Herald. As Shakespeare Is to the drama
so is Thomas to Colorado democracy He
was for years a partner of Thomas NJ
Patterson in the law business at Denver
Both were democrats and party leaders
Patterson was once taken i'll. The CEN

had been booked for a series of speeches
on the stump in the state campaign
Thomas was persuaded to act as substi-
tute for his stricken partner. All was well
until Thomas struck Las Animas county
the hotbed of Mexican populat ton, where
the American tongue was seldom spoken
at Mexican mass meetings. The Mexican
constituency was naturalized and had
the right of suffrage. but chung with un-
bending loyalty to the tongue of Spain
Mr.. Thomas could not speak Spanish. To-

when he faced a crowd of 500 Mexicans at
Trinidad, he engaged an Interpreter That

spoke in English on the tariff, berated the
republicans, peTspired filled the air with
ges lures and wound up with spread eagle
outburst of eloquence. He would pause
in each instance to allow the interpreter
to repeat his remarks. The crowd cheered
and the aroma was one of delightful en-
thusiasm after each report from the in
terpreter. MT Thomas was happy over
what he thought was the magnificent i'm
preston which he was making.
After the meeting a friend called Mr.
Thomas aside. His eyes were moist with
tears.

Enough shrieked Thomas, as the
treachery Of the interpreter flashed upon
him. And who was that interpreter?"
His brother is a candidate for the leg

the friend. Mr.. Thomas sat up nights to
study Spanish after that.
