and had a proposition made to me
yesterday to take charge of a

not talk the spanish language | am
afraid | could not make much out
of it, ] could tend bar here but
do not care for that kind of work.
As every thing here is built of
brick and rock there is nothing
doing in my line of work. | think
Twill start for home this week.

home. L. looked good to me as |
came through on my way here.

a bunch of wood tick. There are

A Tart Retort.

A good story Is told of q prominent
society woman at Newport whose name
cannot for obvious reasons be given
here.
1t appears that an extremely wealthy
matron who has not always enjoyed
her present social pre-eminence was
making certain .supercilious references
as to young girl who had been pre-
sented by the lady first mentioned
by the way" languidly asked the
wealthy matron. "wke is your friend
Miss Blank?"
miss Blank Is a charming girl" was
the smiling response, well bred, as
you see, accomplished, entertaining"
"Oh. yes, Of course" continued the
other, "but. my dear Mrs. So-and-so,
you know what mean-who Is sheT'
my dear woman" retorted the first
lady. Il can no more tell you who Miss
Blank Is than could have informed

WHEN SILENCE WAS GOLDEN.
Speechmaking by Presidential candl.
dates No Longer Dangerous.

Speechmakins by Presidential Candt.
dates No Longer Dangerous.
The modern practice of speechmak-
ing by presidential candidates is In
marked contrast to the early practice.
In former times 1t was considered I'M
dlgnified for candidate for president
to make any open effort in his own be-
half, and candidates generally observ-
ed strict silence. The theory was that
II a candidate opened his mouth to say
anything or even wrote the most com
monplace letter 1t would be used
against him.
General Scott, Wing candidate for
president In 1852, owed his defeat In
part to two innocent but unfortunate
expressions used by him long before
his nomination. In 1916, when he ex-
pected to be ordered to Mexico, he be-
spoke the support of the administra-
ton for his military plans by saying
In published letter that soldiers had
far greater dread of n fire upon the
rear than of the most formidable en-
envy In the front" For this expression
President Polk declined to order him
to Mexico at that time, and when
Scott was nominated for president six
years later he never heard the last Of
1.-THE fire upon the rear
The other expression occurred In
note TO the secretary of war. One day
the secretary called at General SCOTS
office and found that he was absent.
On returning and learning that the sec
rotary had called the general wrote
note In explanation of his absence, say
Ing that he had only stepped out for
a moment to take a hasty plate Of
soup When he was nominated for
president the ''hasty plate Of soup"
figured In all sorts of caricatures and
brought upon him rldicule that he did
not deserve.
Abraham Lincoln, frequent speak
er prior to his nomination. did not ut
ter a word publicly during the cam
paign. He made no addresses. wrote
no public letters and held no confer
ences. His letter of acceptance con-
tanned only 134 words. The practice Of
speechmaking by candidates after their
nomination began with James A. Gar
