parker OUTN|TS DAVID
CAPTURES MEETING AND MAKES
THE PRINCE PAY.
The Cowboy Led Cheering for the
Prince After Corroborating Some of
Latters Statements.

Over the Pail from Laie in advance of
the return of Prince David comes the
story of how Sam Parker captured one
of David's meetings and stuck the
Prince for drinks for the crowd. 1t was
at the Mormon settlement last Monday
night that the cowboy outwitted the
Prince. dhM
David and his followers had called
a meeting and there was big crowd
in attendance. Parker had gone there
before hand, not knowing of the inn
pending gathering of the Unwashed, his
purpose being to make a quiet little
house to house canvass among the peo-
pie, where he could kiss all the chill
dren flatter the women and jolly the
men into thinking that much as they all
like him he is more necessary to them
at Washington than at home AS soon
as David and his friends heard that
Parker was in the neighborhood they
declared that must come to the meeting.
"Oh no." replied the willy cowboy, Il
don't want to throw the lariet over the
horns of any prospective Democratic
voters. You just go ahead and hold
the meeting without me-"
But they would have none of it and
finally Parker found himself on the
platform along with the rest. Now
ladies and gentlemen just to show that
We are truly called the Great Unterri-
fed" said the chairman, 1--WE will now
call on MI. SaInuel. GdfkeT lHe INepup-
lcan candidte for Congress, to corro-
borate what Prince David has said
about the conditions of affairs at Wash
ington and how necessary it is to have
a representative there who is a MEM
Der of either the Democratic or Repub-
lican parties"
Wild cheers greeted this announce
ment and the Honorable Sam when he
stepped forward to speak. He did cor
roborate what the Prince had said and
in addition proved a revelation as a
diplomat. He kept well within the
bounds of reasonable corroboration and
said that this was a Democratic meet
ing and he did not want to interfere
with it. He would like all good Demo-
crat in the place to rise and cheer for
Prince David. About three lusty lung
ed individuals arose. "Oh come on
called Parker, "whIt's the matter with
you. Everybody get up and cheer for
David"
And so they did, for led by the stem
torious voice of Parker the crowd were
soon cheering like mad. 1t was ques-
ton who they were cheering-the Prince
or the Cowboy, "By gracious boys" de-
clared the chairman, Parker has cap
tured the meeting"
But if he had the visitor did not pro-
secute his advantage for he soon re-
tired and let the speakers be heard.
After the meeting Parker and David
started away together. Just outside the
door was soda water vender. Here IT
was that Parker stuck the Prince.
"Say boys" called Parker "if this was
a Republican meeting 1 would treat
you all to soda-pop but as its De-
mocratic gathering / guess I'll have to
resign in favor of the Prince who is
Democrat" and so it came to pass that
Sam passed the buck to David and the
later had to dig down into his jeans
and produce 10 spot to pay the dam
age.
"Oh that's all right soda tender" said
Parker as the vender handed $4 change
to the Prince "a candidate for Congress
never takes change"-and David didn't
Those on the inside say it cost the
Prince about ten bottles to drown the
laugh which Parker turned on him.
