A LESSON IN PoLITENESS.
story of n Fat Man, Grimy Man,
and Tired woman ON
street Car.

No man ever fitted an emergency
better than did grimy man who rode
on an Eighth avenue car going uptown
few days ago. He wore overalls which,
like his face and hands, were black
with smut and grease, and was prob
ably a plumbers assistant, detached
from a particularly dirty job and sent
out in hurry: obviously he was also
gentleman, for when somebody
showed him that there was plenty Of
room in the seat he pointed to his over
alls and shook his head. He preferred
standing TO taking the risk of soiling
some other mans clothes by contact.
On this seat there was fat man wear
ing a gray suit. As the seat filled and
he was pushed nearer bright and
burning line of sunlight at the inner
end, his resistance became more siren
nous. AT last, when there was but one
vacant place, that on which the sun
shone, woman climbed into the seat.
A long, thin man sitting next the fat
man nudged him to move on and make
place.
On the fat mans fat face there came
look Of indignant surprise. "Naw,"
he said, 'if moves gets in de sun"
The idea that he could be expected in
any possible circumstances TO disturb
his own comfort for the sake of any
body else had obviously never occurred
TO him.
The long, thin man rose to make a
place for the woman. He was aston
ished, and for the moment angry, to see
the grimy man slip into the vacancy,
grinning broadly. But then the long,
thin man grinned. too, for the grimy
man braced one foot on the pole be-
meath the seat in front and with one
strong heave Of his shoulder slid the
fat man hard against the inner post and
held him there.
The woman, who looked tired aud
hot, dropped into the established va
cancy with a grateful nod. The grimy
man, yet grinning. rose quickly and
made room again for the long, tain
man. The fat man gasped, looked down
at the smudge Of grease and smut left
on his gray suit. considered the expres-
sions OF amusement and satisfaction
on the faces Of his fellow passengers
and the conductor and concluded TO
broil IN the sun and say nothing. The
Precipitation burst from him IN giobules
as big as hickory nuts. and on the grimy

TAHLEQUAH LETTER.
Matters of Interest from the
Cherokee Capital.
TAHLrouAH. 1T, Dec. /. 1899.

Now that the treaty has been
disposed of, SO far as this term OF
council is concerned, other matters
of great importance will be before
our Legislators. A delegation bill
will be passed providing for two
delegates, one National and one
Downing, to go to Washington to
guard the old treaty and see if it
cannot be ratified by congress.
Council no doubt erred as legis-
lators sometimes do, when they
struck from the agreement the
section providing for the fee for
w. T. Hutchings and ]. ]. Hemp
hill in the Delaware case. This
money has been appropriated here
tofore by council frequently but
the president of the United states
has always turned the bill down
for the reason that the Delawares
eontended they had an interest in
the general fund of the Cherokee
nation and objected to any Chero
kee money being used to fight
them with, and our commission
knowing that to be fact, embod-
Jed it in the agreement hoping
thereby to enable the Cherokee
nation to be able to defend itself
against the claim of the Delawares.
That part of the action of council
may be reconsidered.
The senate has ordered the i'm
peachrnent of A. E. lvey as a

board of education, while as a
matter of fact, the nation ought to
put in claim against Gus. Now
If the nation blot out its claim
against Gus and pay him what he
claims is due him, then Gus would
likely quit sending his "bug-under
the- chip" dispatches to the met
ropolitan dailies and be in love
with the Downing party.
Bids for the collection of the
claim against the United States
for the $4, 100000 will be submit
ted to council in lively manner
mex. week. 1t is said that cash
offer of eighty cents on the dollar
will be made for this claim.

Forepaugh-Sells establishment has
he re.entered it,"
OF the Sells Brothers--Peter and
Lewis-Col. Seeley discoursed:
"The Sells boys are the typical
all-round American 'top-notch
hustlers,' and theirs was no royal
road to success. Cleveland, Ohio,
was their jumping off place, and
they got into the show business
almost with their first long pants.
Twenty-Five years ago the boys
got together some sort of q tent
show with few freaks, a magi-
clan, bear and a couple of mon
keys, a big drum, bigger gong,
likewise one superannuated mule
and nondescript wagon made by
themselves from jetsam and fiot-
sam from a wagonmaker's scrap
heap, and SO they started out to
make their fortune in the middle
west.
"For good many years their
progress was almost as slow as
their motive power-the mule
but they kept on hustling and ad-
ding to their aggregation bit by
bit, until they had the nucleus of
real show In the winter
months they took anything or
everything to tide them over and
add to their capital, and during
these periods Peter gained some
valuable experience as newspa-
per man in his native city.
"And so they struggled on,
hardly known in the business
but growning month by month
and year by year, until dozen
years ago The Sells Brothers.
Colossal Circus, Menagerie and
Hippodrome' became factor in
the tented world, and had to be
reckoned with by the route-mak-
ers of the Barnum and Forepaugh
concerns. In 1891 the SELLS boys'
took their Colossal for years's
trip to Australia and the East In
dian archipelago, and returned to
take their place as one OF the
three great circuses of the United
States. Three years ago they,
with Bailey and Cole, swallowed
up the entire Adam Forepaugh
collection, and their present un-
questioned supremacy is the re.
suit"

scheduled for an appearance in
this city next Thursday. James
A. Bailey, one of the most inter.
esting, picturesque and successful
arenic chieftains the world has
ever known, now in England with
the Barnum & Bailey show. is
associated with Sells Brothers and
W. W. Cole in the exploitation Of
the Forepaugh-Sells Brothers COM
bination.
"Jim Bailey" said Col. Seeley
last night in front Of Hotel Cobb,
"broke into the business thirty.
four years ago as bill-poster, and
today be is far and away the great
est figure in the amusement field
of both hemispheres. and probably
doesn't know himself how much
he is worth financially. James A.
Bailey, to give him full cognomen,
is now sole owner Of the Barnum-
Bailey outfit, half owner Of Buffalo
Bills wild west, and has a large
interest in the Forepaugh-Sell
circus. Everybody knows Of
course, that these enterprises are
the largest amusement institutions
on earth. Jim Bailey has out
Barnumed the late Phineas 7. in
every way, and the old guy
would open bis eyes in amazement
if he could come back TO earth and
get squint at Jim and his three
big show plants.
"And the best of it is that Bal.
ley today is the same as he was at
the start-quiet, unassuming and
democratic. Jim wears just the
same size hat he did thirty years
ago and pays about the same price
for it. The secret of his success?
Brains, originality, hustle and
strict attention to detall-the
smallest as well as the most i'm
portant.
Bailey was the first man who
had pluck enough to take a big
show around the world, and made
his first $780, 900 when in 1875 be
took the Cooper Bailey circus to
Australia, India and South Ameri-
ca. He then, in 1878, bought the
English Howes- Cushing circus,
and became formidable rival TO
Barnum. In 1881 he united his
outfit with that of Barnum, which
was the beginning of the gigantic
circuses OF today"
Of w. w. Cole, Col. Seeley said:
Chilly Cole is more like an Epis-
copalian minister than a Snowman,
but in his way be is a wonder.
He is scholarly, dignified, dis
tinguished parsonage, who always
did and always will insist on the
highly moral and educational
value of bis aggregation, and this
isn't mere buncomne; he means it.
Cole was originally a schoolmaster
in the south, who somehow came |
into possession OF what would
nowadays be called a alight-waisted
'ne-ring circus. In few years
no was the sole owner of the
