should be picked and
put where they will
do the most good.
Mr.. Newberry knows well how to conduct
prosperous business and make money
from 1t, but 1t Is evident from develop
ments Of late that what he doesn't know
about regimental affairs is enough to fill
his store. If 1t Is true that the Washing
ton officials say that the reason the regi-
ment was not ordered to Manila was be-
cause they had been made to believe that
the people here wanted the men mustered
out, Newberry's name will leave a green
gooseberry flavor in the mouths Of many
hereabouts.
John w. MITCHELL have written a
novelette, entitled 1.-THE Tragedy Of the
Cahuenga." It Is a
wh.& II. tale Of politics, ambi-
ton. hatred and re-
venge. 1t Is "Al-
bright" all the way through, and there Is
nothing in 1t to make you tired-I mean, Of
course, nothing in It about Tom McCaf-
fiery or Joe Simons. The villain is a deep,
dark fellow, whose whiskers grow up to
his forehead. He is called Tn. Relkerf
and do several sort of things
are others. The hero? Oh. l

myself by that name. would they? Be-
cause never get In any mix-up, you know.
Oh! nearly forgot to tell you that there
are two villains in the book.
The second one is called Harry Sat'on. and
when you come to read what have to say
about him you will need to put on smoked
glasses.
Major Frank Mclaughlin and Col. Dan
Burns will be here in a very short time.

at the Downey ranch now. between cam

lectures on oratory and trying to initiate
Frank Davis poses. When will they get
here? Why. all you have to do is to watch
the north, and when you see a rosy cloud
let in that region you may know they have
started. and this will increase In size and
ruddiness until 1t poises over the city and
announces their arrival by dissolving into
a shower Of red paint; then you may know
that the colonel, the major and the captain

tana, where he fol-
lowed the circuit, and where he achieved
the record-making feat Of working at the
same time for the rival millionaires of that
region, Marcus Daily and W. A. Clark
These plutocrats hate each other to such a
point that Clark Is quoted as saying that
he would spend 100000 to prevent the
election of Daily as senator, and neither win

for the other Benny, however. was judg-
ing races at Days track and reporting the
events at the same time for Clark's paper.
This combination was so notable in that
region as to cause a rumor through Mon
tana that the two enemies had become
reconciled. Benjamin will again have an
official part to perform in the conduct Of
the races, which will insure the continued
removal Of some Of the criticism caused by
the meets Of former years. Anything that
Benny has to do with will be honestly con-
Quoted, and anything will he exposed II
there Is any faint Of fraud about 1t.
The golfers of the city are enjoying an
episode that happened recently, when
Judge Monroe was
AGo,f playing at the Re-
limo walton. dondo links. The
Judge was making a
most gratifying score, till he lofted his ball
into an adjacent onion patch. The caddy
could not find It, but finally the Judge dis
covered 1t, and, after several efforts, got
into form again and made the following
three green's with great ease. He began to
notice, however, a most offensive odor in
the air. His eyes kept filling with tears.
though his face was smiling. for he felt
he was about to break his record. He was
addressing his ball as 1t reposed on the tee,
when he eyed 1t curlously; then he looked
closer; then got out his eyeglasses and
made a thorough inspection. To his con-
sternation, he discovered the trying fact
that he had picked up a hard onion when
looking for his hall in the field. and had
been playing with 1t ever since. He does
not feel so bad about that as he does over
the fact that everybody discovered his mis-
take. GINGERlCuS.
