A NOISY CONVENTION.
Ono In Which Comanehes and Panthc-s
Were Outshrieked

The noisiest, the jolliest. the most ex-

In the convention Of 1850 began the
modern custom Of cheering and coun-
ter cheering. The Seward contingent
gave n parade the day of the couveu-
ton. While they were marching Lin
coin supporters filed the Wlgwam.
With the naming of the candidates
began the cheering. Murat Hdstead
said that when Seward was nominated

them on the green for the "long

Don't aim too high. Too many chicks
Matched for your capacity will do you

than you can chew.
Don't expect to be in the limenght

Don't fail to get rid OF surplus breed

Neither Did His Partner After Their
Scheme Succeeded.

The man who Cnce was down and
out, but is so no longer, was telling
the other day of one of his poverty
time devices.
He was travelling with another chap
just as much down and out as he, and
both were hungry. Their capital was
insignificant and they didn't intend to
spend any of it. But they had re-

thing like this:

taking long draw at his cigar. ''and
as my clothes looked pretty good l
wasn't an object of suspicion. l had

partner.

by my partner came along. Without
his overcoat-and ii was Il cold day
he didn't look good. He hung around
the door for long while, looking like
a hobo getting up his nerve to come in

enter l got up to go to the cigar coun-
ter to pick out a nice after dinner

up to the desk to ask for a bit of food.
Nothing doing. He was turned
down cold. Then to make the thing
work better he came up to me and
asked: Say. boss, won't you give me n
lift? I'm down and out l repulsed
him sternly, and after looking around
he started out.

the cigar until the proprietor yelled
out, Hey, he's stealing your coatp
81 held on to the cigar, wheeled
around and started for my partner.
He was half out of the door, yelled,
Drop that!' and for answer he drew
the revolver and fiourished it.
''The proprietor dropped behind the
counter, and the walters fed to the
kitchen. From his place the proprietor
called out: Look out! He'll shoot you!
And, taking my cue, let him run out
"Then when the excitement cleared
off I raised an awful row about losing
the coat, and the proprietor finally
came up with the money for a new
one. say about $50. Well, did that
meal pay me? WhatT-~S.T -
