en- and called. for his glad rags. How !,
old was Ann, when
I tink none o. you business" All
Sam replied. You all time come lound

manneh. An, she all same Mclean wo- ,
man: no git nailed, no likee talk
EN- bout age. 1 tink An, though. she
old enough mind her own business, she
watch 'em out all lite foh China
What We talkin' about?" yelled the
Irishman. Who said anything about
China? What's Ann got TO do with
China"
"Oh, l tink you mean Empless Isl
An. She got eblyting to do fob China.
She watch EN- open doah. She putty
good pliceman, too, 1 tink. But l sec
Mclean congless, him meet agin now.
What fob? Make mo- open doah?
Yes" said Casey. That's once we
got a real idea into yer head without
anybody 'usin' a corkscrew or a dia-
mon drill. The American congress has
come to be looked upon as the carpen-
ter shop of the world an President
/ Roosevelt is the boss mechanic of the
bunch. He IS goin' to make open doors
for the whole world an he's got the
tools an the men to do it with. His
last contrack is TO make an open door
across the isthfnus of Panama an he's
already framin' the timbers. But what
this congress is to do is to finish up
a Job it begun sometime ago, when
President Mckinley was the main boss
on the job. 1t built the frame work
for an open door with Cuba an Mr..
Roosevelt hung the door but the sugar
men an the democrats put a spring
lock behind it an now mebbe it'll open
when We want it to- an mebbe it wont
Mr.. Roosevelt is one of them kind that
wants to know where he's at When
HI. goes out with the boys fer a late
supper he wants to know that he's got
latchkey that'n work after dark or
else have a room spoken fer in a cor
raj SOS he can climb over the fence.
. An he don't propose to sleep in nc
corral either So he called congress
together an told 'em to tear out the
] open door and put in a reciprocity
turnstile witch is something the demo
: Gratis can't fasten a spring lock onto.
How about Panama doah?" inquired
All Sam.
The Panama door will take care of
itself" said the Irish-American, If we
can ever get it built. They'll be so
much goin' through it at nobody can
close it, Besides all the Philippine
trade we now have and ocean COM
merce to the west coast of our own
country, there will be the entire Chi
nese trade witch we will control"
How" said All Sam.
Through the open door to China
answered the Gaelic philosopher.
"Empless An. she watchem open
l 1T. he
put 'em spling lock on. too. Empless
she heap smaht woman, she look ebly
other way; make b'Ieeve she no sec 'em
tall. Men bimeby catchem spling lock
. all fixed Empless she velly much
s'plised. She say 'Lushia him all same
sneak t'ief He slip into Manchuria
fxem open door. 1 velly solly now,
but no can help"
yes, that's the real Chinese way,
We two-faced heather; they's no doubt
about it. China's runnin' a bluff game
! an they's a big jackpot. The table is
full of bones an the empress is all in,
but she don't hold no hand an wher
Russia gets enough money up Mr..
l Roosevelt will flash his openers. The
] cards are marked an when it comes
to a draw the president knows what's
comm. Witness Panama
You makem pletty stlong talk
, think" answered All Sam. but China
doah him no move velly fast. 1 t'ink
mebbe so Mis- Roosevelt catchem mud
der doah close up by his home, he not
open yet, too"
Yes. there's a couple of them thai
need little fiXin but he'll get to then
in time. There is some little regulatin
will have to be done with both Mexico
an Canada He may not get to it dur,
ing this term of office but he'll wan
something left to do next term
''Oh, you no sabe me tail. / no near
Mexico, L no mean Canada, I mean pol
itics. Mebbe so nebah be no mex
term
mo, don't sabe ye," said the siren
uous Casey, preparing to leave, 'th'
next term business is settled an dom
know what kind of an open door We
talkin' about. Ye must have som,
mythical pipe dream portal in yer sane
papered cOcoanut, that no one can SCI
but 4 mind reader. an he can't fer y
Z got no mind"
: II tink mebbe so it's no pipe dream.
