Frank Daniels, the nedian, is short in stature, and as his profession’ requires a cleau shaven face he presents a very youth- ful app \ce.

Daniels came down to the oftice and gave an order for the two orchestra chairs, when the scribe made some allusion to that memorable remark the overnor of North Carolina is supposed to have made to his gubernatorial brother of South Carolina, and the two adjourned to the hotel bar to gargle their throats as a preventive of la grippe. The newspaper man took sugar in his and Daniels ordered a coektail. The man with the white apron and “dismond" stud lost no time in placing the conversation water before the journalist, but said to him in a stage whisper, “I can't serve that boy with anything here.
