GETTING Money From Home.

There were loud cheers when Mar
tin w. Littleton, in his brief speech
before the convention, referred TO the
thrift and enterprise of Denver in It's
treatment of delegates. Denveriles
cheered the utterance as comph'
ment, but others cheered it as melah-
choly tribute to the emptiness OF their
pocketbooks.
Denver paid 100000 to get the con.
vention, and while the municipality OF
Denver was generous to the point OF
prodigality, the subscribers to the
s10O,O 900 did not lose sight of the fact
that they were entitled to a rich re-
turn on the investment, and they
got 1t.
Some of the prices would strain the
financial backbone of a Pittsburg mil
lionaire. A man with good husky
appetite found that every day tore a
big hole in his bank roll. The walters
of the hotels and large restaurants
entered the get-rich-quick conspiracy.
They managed to arrange 1t every
time so that a quarter was the small
est coin in the change, and 1t naturally
went as tip.
