 Palace, when the subject of conversation turned upon the many peculiar charac- ters there are in the world. MT. Frank said: "I think we had a notable one of that class in the person of man named Paul Davis up our way. His pecularity lay in his gift of repartee, and hardly day passed but Paul gave expression to some new phrase that was soon on the lips of every inhabitant in our local ity. His broken English probably served to add zest to his sayings, and to us he was as good as some theatrical comedian, at least.
 "One day a member of the tonSOrial fraternity came into Paul's place, and thinking to jolly the old fellow, patron izingly said: Well, Paul, business seems to be pretty good with you. How much money are you banking these days?' Paul looked up at his fresh friend and answered quietly: How is peezness in der barber shop?' The manuipulator of whiskers replied: oh pretty fair We'll, said Paul, 'dat's all you need to know And this method was effectually used thereafter to squelch any one of an in- quisitive turn of mind in Butte.
 '.When Tom Garter first decided to make the campaign for United States Senator, Paul thought 1t foolish of him to oppose several millionaire candidates TOT the same uOHOT, Sdylu6 lildt U0 ildu no show. However some one told Paul that Carter was going to put $10O,OOO in the fight. and the old man said: 'Ah dat is de reason dey 'choiced him.
 s'But the best joke of all, probably be- cause it was on me, occurred at the time of the financial depression some years ago, when Paul suffered with the rest He was a tenant of mine and was pay ing me $500 month rent. I went into .I-f- him and at the same time help him out in his difficulties, I said: Well, Paul, guess I'll make your rent $250 from now on. He did not even give me an answer ing nod, and supposing that he had si- lently acquiesced I took my departure. On the first of the next month he handed my collector check for $200 The lat ter said: Paul, I guess you misunder- stood Mir. Frank. You know he told you that your rent would be s250.' Paul replied: I didn't misunderstood him. He retooced der rent $50 und I retooced 1t S5O.' And Paul's rent remained at his figure ever after"

I believe that the chief cause of the failure of municipal government in the United States Hes in the conversion of the public service into patronage to be distributed among personal fa- vorites and partisan workers.

 "It was a close district and feeling ran high. There was loyal and pow erful fellow attached to our family by so much per month, who had taught me to ride, how to handle gun, how to 1 fish, how to swim, how to handle a boat and how to do many other things that are source of pleasure as well as
