/ The burden of the conversation over
glasses OF the above fascinating bev-
erage has been wonder at what could
have made the vice president 30 pre-
cipitate. Full details are awaited mere
with absorbing interest. It is pre-
dicted that when the whole story is
/ told it viii be found that the vice
president did not do anything so hasty
and indecorous as to jump into the
water without first making a short
speech of apology. Why he should
have jumped, however, still remains
a mystery.
MY opinion is" said a man who
knows Fairbanks, that he jumped in
after that waitress to get back his
, tip"
Others soon at this. and say the
vice president never gives tips.
The singular fatality which attends
public men when they get out west
into the region where newspaper cor
respondents still retain the exuberant
imagination that goes with a young
country. has often been remarked. A
few years ago William ]. Bryan de-
serted Nebraska and plunged towarn
i the setting sun. Immediately out of
the golden west came a circumstantial
/ story, embroidered with names and
dates, and ready to be supported by
affidavit if necessary, telling how Mr..
! Bryan had climbed a ladder into a
, burning building and brought three
persons out Of the devouring flames
at the risk of his life.
Then Mr.. Roosevelt, while vice pres
, ident, went mountain lion hunting In
{ Colorado. On the first day the effete
east was electrified to learn that the
vice president had been separated
from his party and attacked by huge
panther. On the next day Mr.. Roose-
welt, alone and unaided, put to flight
several hundred furious wolves. On
the third he was attacked and almost
overcome by two wildcats, but while
lying on the ground slit their stomachs
with his trusty knife, and Immediate
ly afterward slew a grizzly bear single
handed
Then Mr. Bryan went west again,
and forthwith the unimaginative east
learned that he and Governor Hogg. of
Texas, were arranging an ostrich race
and were daily taking practice rides
on ostriches on a large ostrich ranch.
Now Vice President Fairbanks, mild
est OF men, a man to whom violence
Is distasteful, action abhorrent, and
motion a necessary evil. has gone west
and straightway has plunged into
lake to save Il drowning waitress.
In view of these condolences there
