answer given. The reporter rose, and
was making his acknowledgements,
when the green baize doors that sepa-
rated the executive chamber from the
outer office were swung violently open
and "Boss" Tweed, with red face,
flashing eyes and threatening manner,
burst into the room.
The governor advanced to meet
him, with a heavy frown upon his
face.

"Such is my intention, Senator
Tweed" replied the governor, very
white of face.
"Do you know I'm behind that bill?'
raising his voice, threateningly.

answer.
"See here, you expect to have sec

ragged boss.

There are hundreds of thousands

communities who think the chamber
Of commerce a den of thieves. who
think that the manufacturers Of the
country are no better than a set Of
confidence men,"
Discussing this regrettable misur

smiled and said:
ut is a misunderstanding that will
come right in the end; but just now,

poor man, I believe in putting by
something for a rainy day. the poor
man would sneer bitterly and reply:
Eyes, that's why me and my
friends lose so many umbrellas.
