to Limerick City. which is IN ireland.
IL is beautiful city. he says. but It

Havilah. the new district which has
opened with such promise twenty
five miles north of Winnemucca. He
was narrating some of his experiences
to his partner yesterday.
II brought back my brother Dan
with me, and he will tell you all
about Ireland. This is Dan. Dan
thinks this Is a wonderful country;
but Ireland is a great land, and Linn
erick is one of the prettiest cities
you ever saw: but Dan can tell you
more about that than | can. Isn't it
so, Dan? Tell them that story that
happened when we went out on the
jaunting car. Well, sir, Danny and
l were out riding one day, and / was
telling him all about Tonopah, when
the driver-they'r comical chaps,
those jaunting car boys-says to me,
Did you come from Tonopah,' and !
says i do and he says, And do you
know Billy Booth?' Well, thought
I'd fall out of the car Tell 'em how
/ laughed, Danny.
But although Limerick is a great
city, prefer Tonopah; and we went
to London, and that's a great city;
but Danny is a better talker than ]
am, and he'll tell you about London
Tell him how we stood on the bridge
at midnight, Dan. Yes, we were
there one dark night, and l was gaz-
ing down into the river Thames, and
along came fellow and wanted to
know If we were going to commit
suicide. put me hand on me watch,
and told him it was a fine evening
and that we were comparing the
architecture with the court house OF
Tonopah. Do you come from Tono-
pah?' he said, and Danny will tell
you how we watched him. Well

| friend, Billy Booth?' Well, | came
near going off the bridge that time
and before | recovered a carriage
came along and he jumped into it
| and he says, as he closed the door
| just tell Bill that you met the editor
of the London Times, and give hin
my regards
Tell them. Dan, how we met The
fellow, where was that-in White
chapel? I'm too modest to tell thai
one myself. There was a big fellow
butted into Us, and he heard me say
ing something about Tonopah, and h,
was there with the Are you from
Tonopah?' And said: Yes, do yol
know Billy Booth?' And he says
| What, that Salvation Army bum!
| That's all he said, or, that's all
heard. Danny will tell you wha
happened. Well, you know, | al
ways was pretty handy. 1t took onl,
two-one in the jaw, and the othe
on the solar plexus, and l guess he'll
never say anything about Bill Boot
again.
I'VE sailed down the Mediterran
can, and we sailed up the Nile. II
leave it to Dan to tell you of tn,
beautiful scenery we saw, becaus
he's better at describing those thing
than | am. Well, we went to TIN
Orient, through japan and China
