cleaner shirt than the one you are
wearing. You'd feed a Chinaman,
suppose?"
"Never had ary instructions to the
contrary"
mo. You would feed him, all right.
The fact that he dresses himself and
then puts on his shirt would make no
difference. You wouldn't have any OBJ
ections, either, to setting out lunch
con for Turk or Mormon, would
you?"
Probably moi, sir, if he had coat

"And cab driver, or prize fighter
with sweater on, could button his coat
up under his chin and sit down on the
choicest stool in the house. Do you
know what l think Of this establish
ment?"
"You don't have to eat here, you
know There are plenty Of other
places"
II don't want to eat here if the man
who owns it ever does. He's trying to
do too big business in gentility on
too small capital. The only reason
under the sun why ever come here at
all is that am fond of one particular
kind of bread you serve. have put UP
with your greasy walters, withall kinds
of company, and with temperature Of

bread, but if you don't consider that
I'm we'll enough dressed as l am this
moment to associate with Australian
Bushmen, American Indians, or ma
tives Of Somaliland, in any kind of full
dress, III go without that kind of
bread thousand years before I'll come
here for it again. Give my compliments
to your proprietor. whoever he is, and
tell MIN so, from me-"
Then the all, cadaverous man slowly
rose, put on a light brown sack coat
that lay across his knee and walked
out; and that particular resort for
hungry men probably will know him no
more forever.

gree of alarm. The indications,
however, are that Muskogee will
get what the boy shot at, and when
the smoke of battle is cleared

ct al, of Vinita, will be undismayed
and in the saddle. Our advice to
republican Office seekers is to come
10 Vinita where there is some
chance of getting things, and to
steer clear of Muskogee. Outside
Of Bennett, the Muskogee crowd
are without standing with Mack
md Mark.
