MAN WHO TOOK ALL.

1~ J" 4AO AOOA ALL.
A writer in the Saturday Evening
Evening Post relates his experience at
a. dinner recently in company with Ar
lists Walden and Whistler, when Eng
land was the topic Of conversation.
England" said Mr. Whistler, rules
the world simply because the English
man takes what he wants."
We were rapidly losing ourselves in
a fog of politics and natural psychol-
ogy, when Mr.. Walden lifted part of
his red mustache and said: That's
right, all right"
1t was the first time he had spoken
that evening, so we stopped our argu-
ments and listened. Calmly and SLOW
ly he said:
Il was down at Cernay last sum-
mer- with Faulkner-painting You
know the little tavern there and the
old woman who keeps it. There was
an Englishman there who sat next to
me at table. Well, the landlady gave
us Strawberries one night for dinner
For a dollar day that was pretty
good. The servant girl passed the
strawberries round. When it came to
the Englishman's turn to help himself
he emptied the whole dish of straw
berries into his plate. So said to him:
Say, my friend, I like strawberries
too
Not so much as I do replied my
Englishman calmly, and went On eat
ing"
HIS BLUFF DID NOT WORK
Stories Of yankee shreWdness nave
always been widely circulated, but
when one gets ahead of yankee there
is very little said about it, especially
on the part of the man from the North
Several days ago a hotelkeeper at a
small station on one of the roads run
ming out of Memphis put the laugh on
a drummer from the North in a very
good way, and the travelling man was
compelled to beat a hasty retreat. The
drummer arrived at the hotel about
8 o'clock in the evening, and fearing
that he would not be able to get any
supper he asked the landlord what he
could get to eat.
my FRIEND" said the hotelkeeper
II can give you anything from a
picked elephant to broiled canary
birds tongue for supper tonight"
The drummer looked at the man,
ana, thinking that he was testing, de-
cided to call his bluff.
All right, my friend" said the
drummer; "I'll take some picked ele-
phant.'
Very well,' said the host, 9TH go
and get it, ... r:
He was gone about five minutes
and when he returned said: -.
"All right, sir; supper will be ready
in a moment. You'll have to take a
whole one, as we don't carve them
after dark" a@"-- L.. r., IL
The drummer decided thct he was
not very hungry and took some cheese
sandwiches. Memphis Scimitar.

CLOSE CAMPAIGN
WITH REPUBLICANS SURE TO
WIN OUT.
GOOD MEN ARE ON BOTH SIDES

Livingston, Mont. March q.

Livingston, Mont. March q.
Since the republican and democratic
parties of the city of Livingston have
held their conventions and nominated
their men for Office, city politics are be-
ginning to warm up in great shape. The
republicans are confident of winning in
the mayoralty fight, although it is real
lied that in placing in nomination Hon.
T. M. Swindlehurst, the democrats have
chosen their strongest man to make the
race. Mr.. Swindlehurst, however, was
much averse to make the race and he is
not entering the fight with the same en-
thusiasm which would have stirred him
had he wanted the Office badly. Mr.
GARNER is recognized by the citizens Of
Livingston, irrespective of party, of be-
ing %one of the most progressive and
level-headed business men in the city.
He is heavy taxpayer and for years
has placed his, faith in the ultimate
growth and prosperity of the city. He
has invested his all here and seldom has
he been seen seeking for an office. Only
once has he been acandidate, and at that
time he was elected city treasurer by an
overwhelming majority. The republicans
are unit in demanding his election. Be
sides his republican supporters, it is con-
coded that Mr.. GARNER has many friends
in the democratic party of Livingston
who will cast their ballot for him. It is
safe to say that Mr.. GARNER would win
on strictly party vote. but he will not
have to depend on that alone. The dem
ocratic party is demoralized. In fact
talk was heard of throwing up the sponge
before the convention was held. The fight
will probably be close, on account of
Mr.. Swindlehurst's most excellent record
as man and a politician, but he can
hardly hope to win.
j. l.. GoughnOur, the republican can
didate for city treasurer was elected
last time by a small majority. His rec
ord while in the office has been of such
character that the voters of the city
will hardly consider it worth while to
try new man for the Office His oppo-
nent, M. ]. Walsh. is young man who
has been resident of the city for a
number of years. He is popular, but is
lacking in political experience. In the
treasurership race. there can be but lit
tie doubt that Mr.. Goughnour will be
elected.
Frank Bender. the present justice of
the peace and police magistrate, is maxi
ing an active personal canvass He has
always been successful in his political
history and will prove the hardest for
republican candidate to crack. How
ever. Mr.. Hosford is confident of his sue
cess on election day.
