AN important piece Of news" repeated
Mr.. Witte. II have started 10 walk to
Oyster Bay
OF course. you can't have 40 many races
and nations mixed up In one hotel without
some clash or conflict.
Last night. for example we came near to
having a race war. A large Kentuckian
found one Of the negro bellhops wear
ing the decoration Of an order TO which the
Kentuck ians belongs. The bellhop found
It in the hall and was wearing 1t because
he thought 1t was the thing to do about
the convention The Kentuckian demanded
It, adding something about cutting black
heart out. This IL New Hampshire. and
the emancipated Ethiopian refused.
When the Kentuckian got SO he could see,
he started to violate the fifteenth amend
ment. 1t took four men to pry him on.
II 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.
well, 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 Kentuclian sat In the palm
garden last night and entertained a full
table. The waiter was busting about be-
hind him, All of a sudden the Kentuckian's
golf cap was knocked OF. He could feel
some one reaching around under his chair
looking for 1t. The Kentuckian was at a
violent point In the story; he kept right on.
He felt 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 it was the waiter, but 1t
wasn't. 1t was Mr. Sato. When Mr. Sato
turned at the door and looked back with
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,
Portsmouth dentist told him to wait a
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.

PokotiloH 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 rs cents
for every one Of the coats which he, the
bellboy, dug up. ,,... r., .
