Lewis, who has been in Washington
several days this week, has astonished
many friends by the knowledge he dis

who acted as clerk in the hotel, had
inherited his fathers niserly char

ofiiciated as official umpire, because
he was too stingy to give man his
base on balls.

and was assigned to room. 1 ex-
pected to meet two friends at the
place in the morning, and we were all
to travel together to this city. After
breakfast ! found that the morning
newspaper was kept behind the hotel
counter and doled out to the guests
on request; the washroom was locked
tightly, the key in possession Of the
clerk, and the hotel pens and ink
were kept locked up until asked for,
for fear of waste. NY friends arrived
about ten o'clock that morning, and
we were to leave on the II o'clock
train. We sat in the Office to while
the hour away, and discussion
about the time arose between my two
friends, whose watches varied a few
moments. Pulling forth their time
pieces they compared them with the
hotel office clock. l noticed that the

to the hog house and finally de-
scended to terra tirma without

was five legged steer. The fifth
leg was pronounced by veterin-
arian as entirely perfect. It has
three hind legs and uses all of
them for locomotion. A Snowman

The Grove Messenger ought to
blow off. 1t is in line with the
Davis Hill Booster of Vinita in
printing libellous and slanderous
articles. The Grove delegates
were instructed for Preston s.
Davis and T. M. Reynolds. They
were uninstructed for Marcum.
They let Davis Hill man take
Preston Davis badges off of them
on the way down to Ardmore, and
when they got to Ardmore they
bolted the convention and went off
with Hill, Marcum & Go. in the
teeth of their instruction and in
the face of the will of majority
Of the members of their club.
They were worked from Reynolds
to Hill on the way down on the
the train. We imagine that the
admiration between the Grove
outfit and Davis is mutual.
