Couldn't Get In.

One Of the most picturesque figures
of the convention couloN't get into
convention hall at the Tuesday morn
ing session.
They call him "Old Kaintuck," and
he came to Denver with the st. Joseph.

miles behind a wheelbarrow once on

made entirely of bunting, cut after the
fashion of the Uncle Sam caricatures.

in the convention were pulled off by
the kangaroo court" If the subject
under consideration finally gave in he
was at once promoted to a seat on the
bench and permitted to examine
other recalcitrants. On the other hand,
if he downed the court in the argu-
ments the jury, which usually consist
ed of 200 or more struggling delegates,
would rend the air with loud shouts
for Bryan, Johnson or some other
wholly innocent party.
New York and Minnesota delegates
were the especial prey of the court,
the sessions of which ran as long as
two hours at time.

Indian Chief Attends Convention.

Moty Tiger, a full blood Indian from
Oklahoma, chief of the Creek nation,
which has 1900 people, was one Of
the curiosities at the convention. He
is 65 years old, worth 100000, and
this was the first time the delegates
from his state knew that he was
Democrat. Tate" Brady of Tulsa,
one of the political lights of Oklahoma,
took him to the auditorium in a motor
car. This was the first time the chief
ever had attended a convention and he
was viewed with considerable inter
est. He didn't make many comments
upon it, ugh, heap talk. Much
noise?" was about all he'd say in Eng

Thirty-Six Feet CT Boys.

Former Gov. Francis and Augustus
Thomas, the playwright, met in the
Savoy hotel lobby, and addressed each
other like two characters out of the
comic supplement.
Hello, Dave" said Mr.. Thomas.

els
You're looking mighty fine, Dave, g"
said Mr.. Thomas. I'm glad to see it
al your age

pied Mr.. Francis, Il don't do a

Mr.. Thomas then asked about the
Francis family and the former govern
or said: DO you know, I've got SO
feet of Francis boys in my family?
There are six boys and every one of
them Is six feet tall"

Didn't Want to See Auditorium.


On the day before the convention
opened, in the lobby of the Albany no.
tel was a girl behind a counter selling
tickets to the concert with which the
auditorium, where the convention was
held, was formally opened. A man
stepped in front of the counter to wait
for a friend who was downstairs get
ting a shine.
Buy ticket to the opening of the
auditorium asked the girl.
Guess not" replied the man.
Don't you want to see the interior
of Denvers fine new, big building?"
No
do you live in Denver?"
yes"
well" said the girl, sternly, you
don't seem to show much interest in
the town. Aren't you foolng? Don't
you really want to see the inside of
the auditorium"

been working in that building for the

brick in it,"

Bell and His Winery.

Congressman Theodore Bell of Cali

temporary chairman of the convention.
He sailed in from Lincoln on a hand

Fraternal Order of Eagles, and
brought several casks of the infer

Mix me up little whisky, absinthe
and Worcestershire sauce" said the
thirsty delegate to the bartender. In
ordinary times this would have caused
a riot, but the gentlemanly bartend-
ers became used to strange con.
coctions.
The delegate smacked his lips and
walked out.
Il wonder What that is good for,

There is only one way to cure deaf

famed condition OF the mucous lining
Of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is innamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition. hearing win be
