 A GENEROUS DELEGATE Re turning Maricopa county delegates to the democratic convention at Prescott tell a good story on member of the delegation. It has the merit of being true. He was stopping at the Hotel Burke and took more than a passing notice of red headed waiter girl. He frequently smiled at her and she smiled back at him. One day at din- ner the delegate stealthily put half dollar on the table, covered it with his napkin and went away. His action had been observed by some of the oth- CT delegates who waited fer the de- nouement. The girl in clearing up the table picked up the napkin and saw the half dollar She hurriedly concealed it, blushing violently while doing so. Before the next meal an- other delegate went to another waiter girl and told her what he had seen. He gave her a half dollar wi5h proper instructions. When the first delegate, who may be called Mr. Johnson, which isn't his name, was seated at the table the second girl hurried to him. Be fore the we'll filled and expectant din- ing room she handed him half dol lar, saying: MT Johnson, I found this under napkin beside your plate after dinner" In his confusion MT. Johnson pocketed the piece, remark ing that his criminal negligence in money matters would land him in the pCOr house some time.
