chairman of house committee stood in the
doorway with bated breath, fearing every
moment to see, with Mortified eyes, yard
or more of the green cloth ripped off
faVorite table by some maladroit stroke
on the part of the damsels Nothing of
the Kind happened, however, and the worst
that was done by the fair biliardists in
their awkward handling of the fancy cues
was to break a lamp shade.
Finally all had left the room but one
small crowd, consisting of two well-known
Denver girls, a French duke from San
Francisco and a member of the club. The
talk ran toward a comparison of the girls
of FarIs with those of San Francisco and
Denver. When the nobleman suggested
that San Francisco girls were fond of
cocktails. the innocent Denverites opened
wide their big baby eyes.
Cocktails? What are they?" asked
one.

ordered four.
Now, 1t just happened that the barkeeper
was extremely busy at the time, and this
same chairman of the house committee
took 1t upon himself to act in that off,
cials place. He had never mixed a cock
tail but he had drank enough to hatter
himself that he knew the ingredients, and
he straightway went to work. A waiter
brought them in, and the Frenchman, with
a killing smile and bow, presented them
The girls took them, with many a cute
little moue, and raised them to their lips
to sip them. The Frenchman awaited re-
suits.
This tastes queer" said one, perplexed-
ly. This isn't a cocktail. There's no Gu
racoa In 1t, and there's something never
tasted before"

POPULISTS DESERTED.
Democrats and Silver Republicans
Unite in Idaho.

Boise, Ida, Jan. 6.-The unexpected
breakup of the democratic-populist fusion
in the legislature and the coalition be-
tween the democrats and silver republic
cans, by which the former were enabled
to organize both houses, has given a new
turn to the senatorial contest, and seems
to indicate that the populists, instead of
securing the senatorship, as they expected
to do by the aid of the democrats, will
be left out in the cold. The prevailing
opinion is that the breach between the
democrats and populists cannot be bridged
and that the senatorship will go either to
Dubois or a democrat, probably Johnson.
