The Englishman and His Order.


An Englishman at Chicago hotel
ordered trap. He ordered 1t of an in
telligcnt looking key clerk behind the
desk. Then he went up stairs to his
room to prepare himself for the drive.
He waited half an hour for the an
nouncement that the vehicle was be-
low. He tegan to wonder II this was
an example of the American hustle
whose reputation had crossed the At
lantic.
Presently came a knock on the door.
"Come in," babe the .Englishman.
Entered mechanical looking man in
his shirt sleeves.
"Where's the hole?" was his question.
"Hole?" queried the Englishman. II
wanted trap"
"Here it u.s." said the toiler, land It'll
catch that mouse sure"
The Englfshman's mouth opened in
establishment. "Mouse! What do you
mean? Who are you. anyhow"
'I'm the hotel carpenter. sir, and I've
brought up the trap you ordered!"
The Englishman glared. Then It pen
etrated his Saxon wits, and he roared.
He gave the carpenter half dollar
and swore the joke for once was on
America.

and who spared no pains in explaining
every detail to me. The home is sit

mai range of Rockies on the banks of
the FIathead river, which is a magni-
ncent stream of clear, sparkling wa
ter, the forest coming up to the oppo-
site shore.
'"The cOmmandant, Captain ]. R.
Hilman, is a veteran of the civil war,
having entered as private in the
Garfield regiment, the Forty-second
Ohio; at the close Of the war he was
captain. His record is that of a
faithful soldier. During his four
years of service he was in every
march and every battle in which the
regiment participated, never taking a
furlough, true to himself and his
country. He is now doing all in his
power to assist all the vetel ans who
are under his care at the home.

fiat broad plains of Texas when the
president awoke this morning. Hous.
ton was reached at S:15, and the party
was welcomed by Governor Sayers,
who had come from the state capital
at Austin for the purpose.

several blocks the procession moved
between lines of school children who
waved flags and strewed the presi.
dents path with flowers. Before a
big, enthusiastic audience at the audi
torium, Mckinley was formally wei
coined by the governor and made a
happy speech. Members OF the cabinet
also spoke briefly.
At the conclusion OF the speeches
a touching incident occurred. A feeble
old lady came forward and presented
Mckinley with small silk flag of the
Lone Star state. She was the widow
of Anson Jones the last president of
the republic of Texas. The wood of
the staff was from the cid capitol
building at Columbia.
