Oklahoma delegate pounding and kicking
the Sides OF a patrol box
Here. here. What are yez about

man from Oklahoma away from the box.
Dye mean to destroy city property

That's what IT is. Did yen think It wuz
a drum to play on?"

The policeman loaned the delegate car

Senator Hill and William C. whitney
have hung up one gold delegate az least
to their credit. says the New York suns
correspondence. He belongs to one Of the
western states, and he tells the story OF
how he was converted like this:
Il was asked to call on whitney I al
lowed as how they would try to bribs
me. And to just hint that / was on.
Kept my hands IN my pockets. But I
needn't have bothered. They didn't have
any intention of bribing me. They greet
ed me warmly and talked as II we had
been old friends, and as II we were
chiefly concerned about saving the demo-
cratic party and that's the thing When
HIN put his hand on my knee aud said
that we-mind you, he said we, Hill did.
Hin, whom / had often heard Of, but
never seen, and who kinder filled me
save the party for which our fathers ana
grandfathers had fought, hang me II
didn't say was with them. and we all
shook hands on II. IL only stands 10 rea-
son that 70 be safe we muI follow our
leaders. Whitney Hill, and Cable are
good enough patriots for me, and, web.
I'm for sound money"
The long-whiskered popullst end Of this
convention is breaking the hearts OF the
mead walters in the hotels here, says the
Philadelphia Records special. In Chi
cage. as everywhere II IS one OF the pre-
negatives OF the head waiter TO select the
seat for the guest as he enters the din
Ing room and then escort him to It.
The populists here rush into the dining
room as If they were half starved and
grasp the first seat they come to that H.
vacant. Usually they get hold of a seat
that Is being reserved for some regular
guest The head waiter tells them that
the seat Is being reserved, and thew
promptly tell him to "go to -" This
Is their favorite expression. The head
walter mas no remedy but 10 send the
very nrst waiter IN the house to wait on
the table, and tell him TO feed the popus
lists on scraps, and that's what he does.
Gov. Boles returned to his farm after
spending few hours In Chicago The
reasons Tor his abrupt departure. says
the Chicago Record were
The colt got out into the big road ana
could not be caught again.
The red helfer with the white polka dots
on her overskirt choked on a too plente-
Gus mouthful of green truck.
The shanghai rooster developed unnnis-
taxable signs of pip.
The hired man went OFF Fourth-of-Juiy-
ing and returned with statuesque and
Imposing jag and declared his independ-
ence OF toll.
The roam pillow horse broke into the
roasting-ear patch and fears are enter~
tanned concerning laundering.
The scythe needs sharpening and the old
dog got into fight with a younger and
more peevish canine and was somewhat
chewed.
These are the reasons. 1t will be seen
that while some men have time to fool
around trying to be president the Iowa
husPandman has too busy season Of IL
on his farm to remain away and thereby
court accidents and distresses.
There never was a convention whera
there was such rivalry among the apos-
tention to themselves says the Philadel-
phia Records correspondence. The latest
scheme Is said to be a huge sign which
Is now being painted. 1t is an invitation
to the general public to come in and see
1.-THE great Journalist
writing a piece for the paper Come one,
come all, and see our nineteen telegrapn
instruments in operation all at the same
time"
The fact that this sign was being paint
ed and would be displayed tomorrow
reached the ears or one OF the rival papers
to-day. This paper has a galaxy OF
stars writing for 1t.
The manager called his staff together
and 1t was agreed that the two best-known
men on it should have desks in the show
window of the headquarters and should
write their pieces" there. in the pres
ence of the crowd that would assemble on
the sidewalk. The desks are to be labeled
with the names of the writers. This news
in turn reached the headquarters Of the
other paper, and there was a consultation
Of the members Of the staff of that paper.
1t was agreed that the situation was Sc
rious. 1t was not until a late hour that
ried out, will undoubtedly settle the hash
plete Roentgen apparatus. set IL up in the
head of the greatest member Of the STAFF
who will be placed in the window at the
desk to write his piece" for the paper
When this is done the public will be
treated to view of the brain of the great
man when 1t is in operation. 1t is believ-
ed by the members of the staff of this pa
per that the scheme puts them pre-emi-
nently in advance of all competition.
