A stranger in St. Louis in summer perspires with such freedom and abandon that ‘|he imagines himself a punctured section of the Croton af dam. It is not true, however, that they put tin gutters in the aisles of the theatres and churches to carry off $lthe perspiration. That story is a libel on St. Louis. $| -“But St. Louis is a nice town at that, and the dele- gates will forget all about the heat when they sleep, They will also have the pleasure of going away from St. Louls, which is worth almost as much as it costs to get there. For the delegates who ere sportively inclined St. Louis has a line of goods to show that is some dis- tance in advance of the procession, And the bartenders’ certainly know how to keep beer eold. “New York"s play for the convention should have landed, but men who are wise to their own people in the West and South were afraid of Gotham. There is a ‘prejudice against New York and Tammany Hall out in the country that you couldn’t put a dent in with an un- controllable automobile. When the Tammany delegation ,. to a convention hits Chicago or St. Louls or any West- ern town the entire populace turns out and sits on the sidewalks to get a flash at the cloven hoofs of the New Yorkers. “This grouch against New York extends over a wide area and it is riveted in. The basis of it all is the jeal- ousy that outsiders feel against New Yorkers. It is noth- ing but jealousy. They haven't the inclination or the nerve to come here themselves, and so they stand back and throw the hammer, “A heavy proportion of persons in the rural com- mupities get thelr impressions ct-New York from the & illustrated weeklies that are read in barber shops, They imagine that all the women on the Bowery and Broad- way parade the streets in tights and that all New York men wear evening clothes in the daytime and dye their mustaches,” “I shouldn't think the delegates would want to stay away from New York because they thought It was wicked,” asserted the Cigar Store Man. “It wasn't that,” sald the Man Higher Up. “They knew that if they decided to come to New York ther wives would want to come with them,” » An Odd Bequest. The lucky legatee was Thomas Joyce, a gentleman tn comfortable circumstances, though by no means wealthy, wao was In business in the West of England as a wool mer- chant. says Tit-Bits, Desiring a caretaker for his clty of- fic, he placed an advertisement in a Liverpool paper, which \, was replied to by a young fellow named Philip Jackson, S| On being interrogated as to why he left his last place, Jackson explained that he had stolen some money belonging 4 to his employer, for which he had served a year's *nprison- ment, and that, though he had been “out” three months, he had utterly failed to obtain another position, wr, Joyce, being somewhat struck by the frankness of the man, decided to give him a chance, and he was installed as caretaker, At the end of three months he had made himself so useful and trustworthy that his master fricreased hie wages. For two years he remained in Mr. Joyce's service, until, the gold fever breaking out in Australin, he decided to try his fortune at the diggings. He never returned to Lngland, but in 1898 Mr. Joyce recelved notice from a firm of Melbourne soliditors that Jackson had ently died, leay. * ing a fortune cf $700,000, which he bequeathed unreservedly to his old master, .
