An important piece Of news.' repeated
Mr.. Witte. Il have started 10 walk to
Oyster Bay
or course, you can't have 20 many races
and nations mixed up In one hotel without
some clash or conflict.
Last night, for example, We came near to
having . race war. A largo Kentuckian
found ono Of the negro bellhops wear
Ing the decoration OF an order to which the
Kentuokians belongs. Tho bellhop found
1t In tho hall and was wearing It because
he thought It was the thing to do about
the convention. The Kentuokian demanded
II. adding something about cutting black
heart out. This Ia New Hampshire, and
the emancipated Ethiopian refused.
When the Kentuokian got 80 he could 80,
he started to violate the fifteenth amend
rnent. It took four men to pry him Oh.
III you had asked me for 1t as though
was human being and not a mere incum-
brance. sir, you would have received IT,
said the negro In Harvard English.
We'll, by the gods, this Is sure Yankee
land" said the Kentuckian. He was led
away searching his soul for language to
express his feeling.
This same Kentuckian sat In the palm
garden last night and entertained full
table. The waiter was bustling about be-
hind him. All OF sudden the Kentuckian's
golf cap was knocked of. He could feel
some one reaching around under his chair
looking for 1t. Tho Kentuckian was at
violent point In the story; he kept right on.
He felt q tap on his shoulder; he simply
reached up his hand, took the cap and went
on talking without so much as looking
back.
He supposed 1t was the waiter. but 1t
wasn't. It was Mr.. Sato. When Mr.. Sato
turned at the door and looked back with a
smile that was half pain the kentuckian
saw the point and wilted. All the morning
he was hunting Mr.. Sato with an apology.
Mr.. Korostovitz has toothache. He
has been going about for three or four days
with fine swelling under his blond beard.
A Portsmouth dentist told him to wait
day or two and the swelling would 60 down.
At midnight last night the pain got past
all bearing. He called for an auto, but the
regular autos were gone to bed. At that
moment along came Gov McIAne's chauf-
feur, with the Governors car. He volun-
teered and carried the Russian Secretary
to Portsmouth, where the tooth was pulled.

The negro bellhoy carries it away. A
few weeks later, strolling in the basement,
You see familiar bosom: 1t is your shirt,
all your shirts, still there.
Pokotiloff wears starched white coats
in the morning. Last washday he sent
four of them to the laundry. The washing
came back, but not the coats. He kicked
at the desk. The clerk sent out tracer.
No result. Pokotiloff, inspired by an
American, offered the bellboy 25 cents
for every one Of the coats which he, the
