In Louisville Monday we had Occa-
sion to call upon several of the most
prominent and busiest men i'm the
city. The cordial manner i'm which
they receive callers caused us to think
of the great contrast between such
men and those high-cock-a-lOrems of a
little crossroads town. The former
have time to stop and talk to people,
while the latter cannot lay down their
pens two minutes, for fear the globe
will cease revolving. We would much
prefer trying to interview the presi-
dent of the United States than at
tempt to get a five minutes chat with
a back-woOds mcgul who is drawing a
salary of probably $500 a year and his

talking with Speaker Reed in his pri-
vate Office, and we gained admission
to that closely guarded retreat much
easier than we could get a five min

is resting on his little 2x4 shoulders.
