and got him off on the morning train in
good order. When the town woke up
amp the Davis families came hiking
down to claim him, we had a bulletin
out announcing that the heroic Sergeant
Davis had been ordered to Washington
10y the War Department. Getting him
away was the hardest job Of all, but two
cocktails and some more public approp-
ration did the trick. Just as we were
getting him ON the train, he turned
back:
Wait minute, says he. This re-
ception business is up to the limit I'm
going to telegraph to the Mayor OF Rup-
ertsburg, Illinois. that Pm coming on
Tuesday. Maybe he'll have the sense
to keep away from on top Of me and let
the girls Hobsonize me and not hang
himself on my frame like that blankedly
blank IDIOT. He slung this at Shorty,
which shows that people don't know
whom they ought to be grateful TO, aud
then he pulled, out and we nearly
tainted for relief.

Not Coming West.

To judge from the tone of letter
received by Congressman Joe r Lane,
of Davenport, Rock Island has small
hopes of extending a the glad hand to
President Mckinley during the present
year. 1t was understood from news
paper reports that the executive had
accepted invitations to visit Peoria,
and probably Galesburg, in connec-
ton with 4 proposed trip across the
western country in the month of
july. In his letter to Congressman
Lane the president states positively
that he has not made any arrange
ments for his summer outing, and
therefore is not in position to say
what direction he will wander He
leaves the inference, however, that
when he does start it is not likely he
will wind up any farther west than
Chicago
