"They took long rambles In tn wood, together

a nice man like Lyman Abbott They say he's. good to tn help. l haven't told ye, but I've subscribed to tn Outlook I don't care fr frv. ilous lithrachoor, but l intind to r-read vry wurrud ye write an follow yeer career Tiddy Rosenfet took up poker firm tn fireplace looked at it attintivelsy thin put it down an walked risolutely away firm 1t. 1 suppose, he says, that hand made prisidint like yeersilY wudden't have time to go on with our conveYsa ton iv last summer about policies an cabinet app'intmnts an tn loike iv that says be. Iy coorse, Misther Rosenfelt,' says Wiluph, I'd De glad to resoom that there purely igiformal con- versation whin tn heat was so| intense that nayther iv us thought much what we were sayin' We will take tn matther up in its reg lar ordher But whin ye get home ye might set down at typewriter an waop out few suggestions. Fr instance, anything ye might want to say about posttnasther at Eycsther Bay wud rayceive due consideration if ye can git together with tn congressman frim yeer disthrict. l intind to take no rash steps, but to con-$ult tn party leaders about ivrythng. In tn ma tther iv appintmnts I will drhaw on tn ripe expeeryence iv Joe Can. non an in shapn' me policies l expct to find Aldhrichs advice invalyAble.

An whin tn dure was closed; James, whin ye lock up f'r tn night tell tn Watchman to keep sharp look out, he says.
 So there goes tn last proof I'll iver have that there's such "a thing in tn wide wurruld as onsefsh frindshP. If thim old cronies shud meet today they'd speak, to be sure, but what they'd say cudden}t be sint through tn mails Frindship is peecoolyar an sthrange thing, Hinnissy. Ye ought to thrY an fill yeer cup to tn brm with it, but ye mustn't let it slop over Tn more ye loike a man the less ye ought to tell him so to his face If he don't know whin ye do an whin ye don't. he aint fit to be out in tn wurruld without a garjeen. An whin ye do anything fir a friend ye mustn't tell him annything about it. If ye give frind pair iv shoes ye don't want to cali out in sthreet car: How do me shoes fit yer They're a little small fir man with low nstep. \ On tn other hand, Hinnissy, wise man is careful not ony about tn frinds he picks, but about tn frinds he shakes It shows lack iv sntilnint to shake tn frind

 " Is Tddy Rosenfelt candydate?" asked Mir. Hennessy.
 Well" said MT. Dooley if he's runnin' away firm that nommynation he's sprained his ankle. But who iver knew him to run firm danger?"
