Nearly the last Official act OF George

the toe Of his boot Tuesday after
noon George is a benevolent cuss.
He had bought a railroad ticket and
tried to hand the old fellow a ticket
Of leave, but John would not have It
that way He put on his most i'm
DOrtant air and said: II am an Amer
ican citizen sir; like this country; If
agrees with my health; like the hos
pitality Of the people OF Goodland and
Sherman county, and I won't leave .
George handed him his ticket, gave
him a punt with the toe OF his brogan,
helped him by the coat collar to
climb the steps Of the smoker and
the weary willie" disappeared on the
swift-mOving train
It was too bad. Enright had very
carefully selected the beautiful city
of Goodland as a winter resort. In
order to secure entertainment and to
deserve board and lodging, he stole
some silver spoons and several pairs Of
shears. He was fed and housed and
taken out for the morning air He
concluded to take a trip down to the
Smoky and secure board in the cOun-
try. Tom Crawford took him in, and,
one morning, the kind hearted farmer
loaned him a coat and oyershOes to
help about doing the chores While
Tom was here and there the man was
gone, and 50 were coat and over
shoes He visited several families on
the Smoky, viewed the landscape
Ger, and was quite agreeable, shared
rustic hospitality and was thankful.
He tried to prOlOng his stay, but some
evil-minded person called up Colonel
Bradley over the rural phone, and Eu-
right was again made the guest OF
Sheriff Bradley.
