.Plafn People,"

chicago Record
The Lord Mayor OF st. Louis, "Onkel
Henry Zeigenhe.m. is an old and inter
esfing person y giant in stature, good
nasured disposition, shrewd mind and UNI
bounded ambition. he has lifted himself
into prominence by his force Of character
Almost entirely without education, he IS
proud of his uliteracy. and boasts of his
plain ways. which. OF course, takes with
certain Classes of people and gives him
great influence among voters OF similar
conditions.

recent speech of welcome TO the returning
soldiers. Both the army and the navy
done noble, and Dewey, he went the whole
hog before breakfast.
HIS honor made money at his trade of
carpenter and builder, and became presi-
dent of a savings bank which is largely
patronized by mechanics. Then he went
into politics as a disciple Of Chauncey |.
Filiey. He shows his preference for that
gentleman by wearing a peculiar broad
brimmed ehimney-pot hat. which Mr. FIJI
ley always affected. but has recently be-
come greater than his master, and has
taken into his own hands the bossirg Of
the Republican machine. A nominating
convention held yesterday demonstrated
his power, for after a determined fight
between the factions he named every cam
diiate upon the county ticket. and now
aspires 10 be the Republican leader of. the
state.
Mr.. Zeighenheim won the applause OF
the plain people" recently by declining to
wear dress SUR at the great annual ball.
The regulations OF the entertainment re-
quired that all the guests should appear in
full dress and "Onkel Henry" allowed
himself to be shut out.

needed brawny muscles. and this eheruolc
youngster undoubtedly had his share.
When Betsy had admired the peerless
sucking and her father had dilated on the
honor that was being done TO them by the
Tiger and his friends in coming TO have
their Thanksgiving dinner with him. the
other two girls were called from the field
to help TO prepare for the visitors. The
compliment implied by the dinner diverted
Gideon's mind from his relentless hunger
and kept him from noticing too plainly the
hurried lunch that Was taken by his daugh-
tiers.
But his peace was short lived. Betsy

Betsy laughed when she understood the
doctors drift and promised to do her part.
Then she inquired seriously:

The doctor was on the point Of replying
that Gideon was in no condition to offer
thanks. but an idea occurred TO him. and
with a characteristic chuckie he said in
stead:

governor has made his proclamation, and

Instead he lay where he was and medltated
on the wish he would make against Phe-
Ian. His appetite was sharp and he
thought IL would be a sweet revenge TO see
his insulter at his door begging for bite
to eat. While he was revolving this de-
lightfui prospect in his mind his daughters
were preparing the breakfast. He heard
Betsy raking the ashes for live Goals. Then
he heard her blowing on them while the fire
cracked In the kindiing. and presently a
delightful odor began to penetrate the
rickety partition that separated his bed

digging the potatoes.
Betsy babe him good morning. and he re-
pied with surly nod, The odor OF the ham
was still In the air. and he was beginning
TO feel weak with hunger. Though he
would have refused anything TO eat, he was
unreasonably angry because she offered
none. But he refrained from scoding. and

Magistrate Phelan had no cause TO wonder
at the tumult created In the settlement
when he banQueted the chief men on tur-
key In his dining room and fed the ordinary
people on boiled pork In ais barn.
Chief among the stAll-sed guests was
Gideon Mcpherson. . man who was In no
sense OF the word ''ordinar.'' On the previ-
Gus year he had been overlooked by Tom
0cNuIty and had broken the spell OF the
evfi eyes by backing them. In that way
he had practically made '';he mickie de.'
himself the captive 81 his bow and spear
Or rather OF his hobnaied boots and gnarled
0Sts and had thereby wen a pleasing noter.-
ETY.. In consequence he considered himself
the equal OF all men and the superior OF
most and resented savasely the slight that
had been put upon him. To all his friends
he told the story Of his wrongs IL cultural
Gaelic or broken English and swore q great
oath to be revenged on his enemy. Each
time he told his story the angrier he be-
came. and at length 1t weighed SO heavily
on ais mind that ne was unatie to work.
A couple Of weeks after this irritating
occurrence Tiger Dunlop. that glorious liter
ary rowdy who had been punchmaker for
christopher North and the heroes OF the
"Noctes Ambrosianae." arrived in the
neighborhood and heard OF the trouble. He
