he resolved to drop in on them unex-

They pressed him to share their in

both soup and fish his host began to
apologize for the simple fare.
The doctor then confessed that he
was waiting for the venison, which he
had smelled as he came in.

HAMMILL AND THE LABORINGMAN

IN A CAMPAIGN document is

he gives some reasons why the
laboringman should support him.
He cites the fact that he is II
laboring man himself and i'll
sympathy with the cause OF
labor. How he can ask the labor
ing man to support him IN the
face of conditions at Hay ward is
somewhat difficult to understand.
The Edward Hines Lum Der Com
pany refused to countenance the
circulation OF Knights papers in
that city at all. Several men
were approached with request
to get some signatures for Mr..
Knight and they politely inform
ed US that the Hines people fav-
Ored Mr.. HammilI and would
have nothing to do with Knight.
They refused to permit their
employees to sign Mr.. Knights
papers telling them if they did
they would lose jobs and threat
ening business men with ruin if
they supported anyone but Ham
mill. The signatures were
secured nevertheless in spite OF
these threats. The point we
wish to make is this How can
Mr.. Hammill serve the Edward
Hines Lum Der Co, and every
other corporation in the district
so well for he has the support of
all of them, and still be such a
friend of labor.

He Was Pressed Into Service as an

A London horse dealer famous for
his expert treatment of "whistling,"
roaring ''bucking'' and other equine
ailments had friend who was a pic
ture buyer. The latter, hearing that
one of James MacNeill Whistler's
works had been put on sale, was hur-
rying to New Bond street to have a
look at it.
Meeting the horsy man on his way.
he stated that he was going to have a
look at a Whistler and inquired jocu-
larly if his friend knew anything about
Whistlers.
IF l know anything in the world it
is what constitutes genuine whis
tler,' replied the man. greatly to the
establishment of the first. who had
lever heard of such an infirmity of
the horse.
"Come along, then.'' said he. land
I'll get your opinion on one that's in
this neighborhood'
Well they entered New Bond street.
and when they came opposite the print
sellers where the picture was hanging
the leader of the quest said:
Here we are It's inside
whats inside?' asked the other.
"The Whistler" said the first.
"It's the queerest place for a stable
l ever knew" remarked the horsy
man. where's the whistler here?'
''It's upstairs" said his friend, en-
tering
'How the mischief did they get it
upstairs?" inquired the other.
81 suppose they carried it up. You
didn't fancy it could walk, did you"
rs it SO far gone as that? 1t must
be a roarer," said the horsy man as
they went up to the first floor.
Il don't know any modern painter
named Roarer," said the other. But
there's the Whistler, and you may give
me your opinion on it. He calls it
'Sauterne In A Flat"
The horsy man turned without a
word, strobe out of the shop, and the
two have never spoken since.
