waiter to him, saying:
81 want to buy that waistcoat!
why, what do you want it for?
asked the astonished waiter.
Never mind what | want 1t for"
continued the Harvard man. What
will you take for the waistcoat?"
After some spirited bargaining on
both sides the waiter consented to
accept five dollars In payment fol-, the
garment. Whereupon the Harvard
man shouted "Done!" and gave the
waiter the sum mentioned.
"And when do you want IT. sir?"
asked the waiter.
"Oh," replied the collesian, Il don't
want you to give the waistcoat to me
not at ALL ] merely wanted to feel
that | owned IT,"
At this the waiter bowed and was
about to walk away when the Har-

The Chicago Tribune had one OF its
bright correspondents along with
Candidate Deneen in his tour OF
Egypt. The correspondent sent re-
port to his paper that a crowd OF
1000 packed the Cairo court house
to hear the Republican candidate,
and that over. 500 who couldn't get in
waited on the outside and shook
hands with him. AS a matter OF
fact, the size of the crowd in the
court house was about 700 persons,
This was the estimate given The
Bulletin by those who attended the
meeting and by the reporters who re-
ported r. How many shook hands
with the Republican nominee we do
not know. though 1t is said that he
was almost smothered by quite a
large number of the presidents "spe-
cial friends" who live In Cairo. As
a matter Of fact. the Republican lead
ers were disappointed at the size OF
the audience, as we'll as the amount
OF enthusiasm manifested, and have
become alarmed at the apparent
apathy in the ranks.
