“Colorado politicians will, almost-to

that. woman suffrage is a failure and a
farce "in our state, but- one of them has
the nerve to say so over his own sig-
nature in the newspapers,” said Mr. F.

I unhesitatingly declare that. the ex—

deal more of harm, and, though it may
never be repealed, there‘is no possibil—

en claim that their presence has made
that. they appropriate credit that. does
not belong to them, for, while the
elections are better conducted than
formerly, the improvement. is due to
women.
“The presence of women in conven-

There is only one solace to his cup of
bitterness, and that is his, Sunday
morning breakfast. And as he sit-s
down eomplaeently to this one meal of
all the week which reminds him of
home he offers up a ferv’ent. prayer of
thanksgiving for two mercies. Oneis
that he is still a Bostonian, and the
other is for the baked beans train.
The baked beans train comes roll-
_ ing into the Grand Central depot. in
New York every Sunday morning at
about six o’clock.‘ It comes in every
other morning, to be sure, but only on
Sunday does it possess any special sig-
nificance. There is always an express
car attached, but on week days it is
filled with a miscellaneous cargo.
Not so on Sunday mornings. Then
there is a penetrating aroma, which
comes from stacks and stacks of fresh-
ly baked beans in pots. They are con—
signed to an enterprising purveyor'in
New York, who covers. a regular route
with a number of delivery wagons.
Within two hours after the train comes
in the contents of the express car have
been distributed.

however, till they had been loaded on
wagons and carted to a police court,
where a police magistrate came out,
listened to the inspector’s story, satis-
fied himself by hisown senses that the
fowls were unsound and ordered them
to be destroyed. A police magistrate is

We often hear it said a man died
after a general breaking down. ._
This is more explicit then“ it
sounds when one casually hears the
remark. Impurities when they once
. ' get into the blood contaminate every or.
gan of thebody. The seeds of disease
are sown and made to thrive, giving back
again to the blood more impurities, which
aggravate and increase the poisons thro ugh—
, . ,. out the system. As a consequence, all of the
‘ ‘1’“ 'vital organs become impaired. Any or all of
4' them break down and become unable to perform their work. A severe ill-
mass—often deathwresults. The only way to avoid such a calamity is to
take a. blood and nerve remedy that is sure, safe and simple. Such aremedy
i will be found in Smith‘s Green Mountain Renovator. _This you should re-
member is the discovery, and is made after the prescription of Dr. Mack, a.
ell-known Scotch physician. _
W A case of debility that was caused by disease due to exposure and which
was cured by Smith's Green Mountain Renovator IS that of Private George
P. Wilcox of Co. B, lst Vt. Regiment, who wrote as_ follows from Camp
Thomas, Lytle, Ga.: “I distributed the Renovator which I ordered amen

A Distinguished Strangerf
By George Ade,
_ . _ _ .
NE evening when Mae and Jim en-
tered the room they found Barney
in conversation wit-h a stranger—«a
pale, dark-eyed young man with short, ,
black ringlets. Barney was sitting on
the edge of the bed smokingapipe. He
had surrendered the only cushioned
chair to the stranger, who arose quick—
ly as the two other members of the
commune came in and said: “I thank
you very much for your kindness and
I believe that now I will go to my own
room.”
He spoke with a- foreign accent and
rather slowly, making each word dis-
tinct. '
“Don’t be in a hurry,” said Barney.
,“Roll another cigarette and we’ll sit
down here and talk) it over.”
He introduced the stranger as Mr.
“Um-cole,” or something of a. similar
Barney never remembered a
name, and always fumbled it in making
an introduction.
“Grebault,” corrected the stranger,
with a smile which enabled him to dis-
play a white and even ‘row of teeth.
Mac and Jim shook hands with him and j
begged that he would keep the com— ~
forteble chair, as they were accus-
tomed to sitting on the edge of the
bed and really preferred it.
“You must pardon my intrusion,
gentlemen,” said the stranger. “I
have not had the pleasure of meeting
you and I should not have taken to my- ;
self the liberty of entering your ap'art- “
ment, but I wished for some tobacco to
make a cigarette and I smelled the
smoke and—I should tell you that I
am in the room next to you here at. the
head of the stairway.”
“You’re more than welcome,” said
Jim, heartily.
you need tobacco.”
longed to B'arney.)
“You prefer to roll your own cigar-
ettes, do you?” asked Mac.
“Ah, yes. I like it so much better
when it is rolled by myself than the
cigarettes which you buy, in the box. I
learned to roll cigarettes at my home.
(The tobacco be-
In my country we do not often buy '
those that are in tho~boxes.” .
His reference to “my country" and
his hesitating manner of speech con-
firmed the impression that he was of
foreign birth. Within a few minutes
the members of the commune by for-
ward questioning learned that he was '
a native of Switzerland and had lived
in France and Germany before coming ,
to the United States. Also he had vis- i
ited Italy. He spoke French and Ger- i
= man, some Italian, but English—ah, '
not very well. The commune assured
him that his English was beyond criti-
cism.
They had not traveled. Not one of
them had been as far away as New
York, and so they ,adopted‘a respectful
air of inferiority when Mr. Grebault.
began to talk of Berlin and. Paris and
London. Barney had a fair knowledge
of German, which he brought out for
the entertainment of his neighbor, and.
Mac tried several French phrases on
him. Mr. Grebault was distinctly all
right. After he had gone back to his
room the members of the commune
discussed him and agreed that he had
charming European manners, and as a. '
linguist. and traveler was to be envied.
But what was he doing in Chicago?
Mac, who was romantic and imaginative
at every opportunity, gave it as his opin-
ion that Grebault was a member of
some rich and noble family and had
come to America after being cast from
the palace by his father, comte de Gre-
. bault, because of a love affair, the son
having fallen in love with a beautiful
maiden who had no title. The younger
Grebault was now in America to make
his fortune.
The neighbor said or did nothing to
blight this picturesque theory. He
came into the room occasionally to
smoke a late cigarette and help Barney
and ‘Mac with their efforts to speak
the foreign language, andhe was always
courteous,.smoothly affable and yet po-
litely reserved. He did not give any
intimation as to how he made his liv-
ing, and the members of the commune
did- not feel privileged to ask direct
questions.
At last Mr. Grebault’s occupation was
discovered by Mac under circumstances
which will be set forth in detail.
Once a year the resident graduates
and. (ix-students, of Atwater college
(which Mac had attended) came to— .'
gether at a hotel or restaurant for a.
“reunion dinner." Mac received his in-
vitation two weeks in advance and be-
gun to economize. The. price of the"
dinner was three dollars, and he sum
pected that there would be incidental
expenses which he could not anticipate.
In fact, he laid‘aside five dollars for the
college night, and, as might have been
expected. he had to buy studs for his
shirt and a white tie of the tie-it-yourj
self kind. ' ' '
Early on the evening of the dinner
Barney and Jim were at the room. They
. wanted to be present and- revile Mac.
while he was in the throes of dressing.
"This was to be thefirst time thatMac
had worn his “dress suit" since com-
ing to Chicago. The suit he had- pur-
chased while in college, before he had
begun to attempt to pay his own bills.
It was not as long in the tail as the coats . ’
they had seen worn on the stage, and
the exposure of shirt was more limited 3

I The longer a man remains single the
than Macimight have wished.
“Gee! I wish I could~afiord a new
one,” said Mac, as he held-the coat be-
fore him. and then dropped it on a chair.
_ “That's right; he ought tohave anew ‘
‘~ one." said Jim to Barney. “A man’who :'
Lin never surprised when a'man- covets
is 'going'out a great deal ought‘to can-
form to the latest modes. by Jove, and ,
by George, old chap. I say. don’t you
know'..don-'t youthink’ so?" ‘- ‘ ‘;
“Come in any time that '
to be invited out every two or three
years, and ‘he ought to be prepared to be
‘eom—il-faw’ with the ‘hoe-tong.’ ”
“Worse’n that," suggested Jim. “By
the way, Mac, a white shirt, you under-
stand? Norie of those striped effects
go with evening dress. And a new tie,
too. You have left At-water, remember.
You are now in the metropolis, and a
four-'in-hand will not do. How, about
the shoes? 'Are you going to wear your
tans?” .3
“Go to blazes!” replied Mac, whowas
twisting his face into horrible expres-
sions of pain as he tried to push a stud
through a tiny hole in the shirt bosom.
Despairing in the effort, he grabbed the
scissors and bored at the hole until he
had a large, soiled opening.
“That will look very well,” suggested
Barney. "
“If you gentlemen have anything
else to do I’ll not detain yOu here,” said
Mac, as he struggled upward into the
starchy shirt.
“We can’t leave until we see. you
started,” said Jim. “If any part of
your attire isn’t correct they may blame
us.”
Mac grunted in contempt, and began
his struggle With the collar, which was
a mere skirmish compared with the ef-
fort to get an even-ended bow with the
white tie. He tied it and retied it un-
til it became crumpled and wrinkled,
' but he could not getthe satisfactory ef-
fect. While he moaned and complained
" Barney and Jim sat on top of the bed,
- leaning back against the headboard,
and using the pillows as cushions, swal-
lowing their laughter.
“You want a neglige
boy,” suggested Jim.
“He’s got it,” said Barney.
This so angered Mac that without any
further attempt to correct the bow he
. pulled on his coat- and overcoat and
slammed out without responding to
Jim’s farewell request to be remem-
bered “to all of the dear old college
chums,” .
“Then he returned at midnight, to
find Jim and Barney playing poker for
fictitious sums ranging from $1,000 up-
ward, he ignored their sarcastic bows
and asked: “Well, What do you think?”
Jim—I don’t know, unless you made
a speech.
Mac—No; I’m in earnest. Listen!

Mac—Certainly. I nearly fell'oif my

Barney—What did he do?

I I’m going to turn down a friend just
I because I am wearing my good clothes
and he happens to be serving me for
the time being? Besides, what’s the
use? He knows all about me. I couldn’t
deceive him by putting on any haughty
airs. He happened to be standing be-
hind me during a wait between courses,
_ and I turned around and chatted with
him.
J im—What did your college asso-
ciates think of that?
Mac—I don’t know, but I suppose
they envied me for being acquainted
with a waiter in such a swell place. I
don‘t believe that-very many of them
had ever been there before. They acted
as if they were scared stiff.

much of it. .
