FELTER's VACATION.
The Story of n Visit to Germany
with High Honorr

Win High HonOrs.
Once upon time the senate resta,l
rant at Washington was managed by
a German-American named Felter. who
was a renowned caterer to senatorial
appetites and of course was 20 ,ular.
In one of the nine months congress.
sional vacations Felter concluded to
visit his old home in Germany, so he
applied to Jim Christy. deputy ser
leant at arms. for ocean transportation,
which in due time was produced. and
Felter started in high glee. He did not
Know how Christy procured the passes.
nor did he care.
When he embarked the captain OF
the German line received him cordial
ly, but with great dignity assigned him
TO one of the best staterooms and
adorned his cabin with flowers. He
had the post of honor at table and was
treated as hero or as a great person
age might be treated.
Felter the cook could not understand.
but he took all that was offered and
made the best of the situation. When
the vessel finally reached her destlna-
tion and the passengers We're landed
the captain of the ship introduced Eel
ter to the mayor, who awaited his COM

it. His astonishment increased. but he
accepted all of these attentions with
out asking any questions.
The following day he was banqueted
as the guest of the city and was called
upon for speech. To the best of his
ability he complied and explained the
complex workings of the great repub-
lie of which he was Il naturaliZed part.
and every utterance was applaCded.
But Felter was unhappy, anxious to
get away and find some old friends
who might explain the reason for all
this adulation. When the banquet was
hold of his hand and begged him to go
to his house for the night This Felter
gladly did, although the mayor gave
reluctant permission, indicating that 1t
was the next thing to discourteous for
Felter to abandon the mayors home
while he was the guest Of the city.
As soon as they were alone the friend
inquired in German, "Felter, what sort
of a game is this you have come over
here to play on the folks of the father
land?''
II don't understand the game myself.
and l wish that you could explain 1t to
me- I am the keeper of the restaurant
-
living at it--in fact saving money. But
that is no position of high honor, and
don't know what these people are doing
all this entertaining for. 1t is away
beyond me-"
why, the steamship people issued
your pass for Senator Felter and an
nounced the coming of the senator on
their line, and that's the reason you are
thus receiyed-ln honor of your alleged
rank and station"
Lets look at the passes" said Feter.
And there, sure enough, although he had
not noticed it before. Jim Christy had
secured passes for Senator Felter," be-
cause In no other way could he have
secured them.

 Last week the Washington Trad ing Company at Patagonia, re- ceived carload of Nebraska oats, probably the first shipment of the kind into Santa Cruz county.
 MT. J. c. King is opening a fine body of silver ore in one of his claims on the west side of the Patagonia mountains, near the Nogales and Washington Camp road.
 From Mowry comes well authenticated report that the de- velopment in that great property continues to show extent and values in the ore bodies that have been opened.
 From Mowry comes we'll authenticated report that Deputy Sheriff Frank Reagan, another Texas Republican who maintains law and order over there, has made more than $500 this month putting up ice, from the water pumped from the Mowry mine. It must be cold down in the depths, or on the surface.
