Friends OF Col. Guffey-his Chicago

one OF the considerations why Bryan at
tackled Guffey Is that a Chicago news
peper a short time ago printed story
telling how Guffey. a year or so ago,
gave Bryan some stained-glass windows
for his home In Lyncoln.
That story aroused the ire Of Bryan,
and he wrote to Guffey several weeks
ago asking for the bill for the stained
glass windows and closed his letter by
that Guffey should be reelected national
committeeman for his State. GuHey re-
plying to Mr Bryan's letter expressed
! his sorrow that the matter should have
become public. but this apparently did
not appease Bryan.

CLEVELAND AND BEGGARS.
How He Played n Joke on Tramps
Who FIattered Him.

From the New 1QTk lTess
William C. McAdoo. former Assistant
Secretary Of the Navy and police COM
missioner, tells an amusing story Of
Cleveiand's fondness for a good joke.
After Cleveland had served his first term
as President, McAdoo said, he had an
Office in the Mills Building, and McAdoo
often used 10 go UP town with him.
Finally" said McAdoo. the associated
order OF mendicants learned Mr.. Cleve-
lands trail and played it to good advan-
tage. One crowd fingered in Wall street
and greeted him with God bless you, sir;
I nope you will be President again
Cleveland responded literally. but finally
the tramps became so numerous he was
obliged to slip home another way. That
worked for a time, but the tramps found
him out. One evening as we slipped away
he said: guess we escaped this time
No sooner had he said II than the
whCIe drove was upon him with suppl
cations. With never a word, Mr.. Cleve-
land reached into his pocket and drew
out a little booklet. Page by page he tore
out perforated tickets and handed them
without a word 10 the tramps. Then he
passed or with a shake Of his head. Each
ticket read Charity Organization Society

NOTES OF THE CONVENTION

Denver. July Sit is undoubtedly true
that the visitors to this convention are
finding more interesting things to see here
convention crowd.
You can get in a trolley car. for one
thing. and ride into the Rockies in less
than an hour. Going into the heart Of
the Rockies TO folks here is just like a
trip down TO Coney, but TO ride to these
mountains in a trolley car and watch the
masses Of snow on their tops is something
that the visitor from the vicinity OF
Coney Island finds more fascinating out
here than the gathering of politicians.
Another sight here is not so strange. be-
cause you can see 1t ct Coney Island, only
you have TO pay for it there. That is real
cowboys. also cowgirs. riding through
the streets on their bronchos; and to this
Is added now and then the glimpse Of
Deadwood coach just of the plains.
With their big hats. their lariats, and
their bronchos. the COW punchers that go
through here are real enough. To see
them ride through the main street of Den
cars by simply touching the neck Of their
ponies with the bride. held loosely in
the hand is one of the oddities OF life
in this city, built on the plains at the
base of the mountains. through which
drift many different currents of life.
In other cities the conyention has gen.
orally absorbed the visitors. but here
there are many rival attractions which
are apt 10 overshadow the convention
