Ex-senator Brown will do the rlSht
thing this morning if, upon entering
his Office he beckons to his steno-
grapher and dictates a letter to NC
Kinley informing him that the country
IS safe: that there are enough patrlots
in Utah to take the offices.
Although the reception at the Knuts-
ford last evening was presumed 10 De
a social affair, it must be remenlpereu
that politicians can be just as soclapie

Jake Greenewald was too cunning for

senator would be telling how he met
the president in Canton, just before ne
started for Washington, and would De

Mckinley said in relation TO Titan OF
fees, when Jake would bear down
with his studdin sails out, his spanker
catching all the breeze there was TO
catch and exclaim, L beg your pardon,
senator but I wish to introduce to you
Mr. Waxem, OF Sanpete.
And then the senator would have to
drop all holds and meet Waxem and
take him by the hand and shake it
and say he was glad to see him and
ASK him about all the ch5ncs9 -
crops in the southern portion of the
state and whether ne Deileveu
army worm would cut any figure with
spring wheat and all that sort of
thing and the candidate for the post
office would mentally curse and go
away while Jake would get some other
man to introduce and hold him until
the next victim endeavored to get
word out of Brown on the subject of
disposition of federal patronage.
Once Jake ran out of people to in
troduce and had to take the proprietor
of the hotel in tow. Of course Gus
thought this was all a joke and so did
the senator, but Jake congratulated
himself afterwards that the friend of
Nash, who had Browns ear when he
rushed up with the chairman of the
county committee. was circumvented
and hornswoggled to completion. A
foxy old man is Greenewald and he did
a meritorious evenings work for
himself and no one caught on to what
he was doing.
Devine didn't have a chance to get
action at all. When he would get
fairly interested, some one would as
bic on his right flank and come
down like a wolf on the fold with the
inquiry: Now honestly senator do
you think they are going to do any
thing Fith the tariff which will bene-
fit us here in Utah?" using an unctu-
Gus emphasis on his words which be-
tokened extreme solicitation for the
welfare of the good people here in the
valleys of these mountains and then
Devine would go away and have a fit,
while the senator replied: -'Wel-l-l-l
yes, I kinder think they will; kinder
think they will. And then he would
begin a dissertation on tariff which
would he gradually tapering off to the
main chance as viewed from the other
mans standpoint, when Hardy would

Yes we have and ! am glad to see you
back. While l am sorry that your
place has been taken by another man,
still at the same time L am glad to
have you with US; we ali are. HOW's
Mckinley? Is he we'll? l heard he
was sick and was awfully afraid it
was going to be serious We can't af-
eOrd to lose that man, no we cant. ="
And Hardy would rattle away until
some friend Of Hoyt Sherman would
toll the senator off to the northeast
corner TO introduce him to some one
who hadn't seen him in at least q
hours. and il would be Hardy's turn TO
nlutter softly under his breath.
George 4. Smith was particularly
anxious to know how the senator was
feeling from p physical standpoint and
how he had enjoyed himself while
away, While ex-Justice of the Peace de
jure Peter Lochrie was extremely So
licitous as to the state of the senator's
health. It fell 70 the lot of Louis Hy-

whether the senator's appetite had
been thoroughly satisfied and he was
more than anxious that he should have

make it. Lea, who is working for the
