Dear Penelope:
Lincoln revives! The end of a presi
dential campaign aclB upon social ard
business life like a smelling bottle on
the relaxed nerves of a subject in a
faint When any body is elected, Mc
Kinley or Bryan, McCall or Holcomb
we will be better off than we are now.
Papa says it Bryan is elected every
thing and everybody will go to pieces.
You remember "Little Puck" and the
hoodoo man in it? It was only nec
essary for him to come on the stage
when everything on it dropped to pieces
including the telephone. Papa thinks
that Mr. Bryan has the same effect on
stocks, wheat and corn as the hoodoo
had on the stage furniture, but papa is
worried over the collapsed state of his
business and as he is a republican he
lays it all to Mr. Bryan. It is so satis
factory to have somebody to hate and to
lay one's misfortune to. Now Jack ig
for Bryan. He B3ys the trouble is that
people and their needs have been in
creasing faster than the supply of gold
and that consequently gold has got so
dear that' it takes twice the amount of
corn, land, houses, railroad stock or
labor, that it used to, to buy gold. He
says that we are always speaking of the
price of property in money and that if I
could only see the pile of gold that the
products of labor would buy, decrease
each season in the last ten years, 1
would know what low prices really
meant. And here Jack looks really
handsome. HiB eyes are bright and he
looksasif he could conquer anything. At
those times I am always glad papa is not
in the room or it would be the 'American
Exchange street corner over again. Papa
bullies poor Jack. You see he has the
advantage of age and of his relationship
m
m-
to me and Jack always gives up to bim,
albeit with a poor grace. Of course I
am for Bryan.
The chief object of interest next week
is the wedding of Mr. Cook and Mies
Clark. They are to be married at the
home of the bride's mother. Only the
relatives and a very few friends are in
vited. It is said that Mr. and Mrs.
Cook will reside somewhere on the Pa
cific coast. Lincoln society will miss
them sadly.
Thbbung set meet in greater or
smaller numbers every night. The
older members of the Pleasant Hour
club seem to be somewhat depressed by
the state of finance. But finance never
touches the youngsters. Refreshments
are frequently candy and apples. Late
ly Jack sends me small boxes of fresh
New York candy. He gets it at Rectors.
All summer long drives ended at the
push bntton in front of Rector's and in
the winter Ode still pursues us. The
candy is Tenney's daintily packed in
white boxes. It is lucky you can not
see me now for I have a chocolate cream
a big one in my mouth which I al
low to slowly and luxuriously melt.
Dr-and MrsASifTen are riding about mer
rily again. They are making up for loet
time chatting and laughing like re
united comrades. I am sure I wish
them happiness.
Do you ever see Rob Patrick? If
you do it must be between the depot
and his residence. I see him in Lin.
coin so frequently.
You have heard about Josie Treemen
going to South America to live It-is

turn out that they are really noblemen

The Omaha Bee had a quarter of a
column devoted to the blue blooded
tramps Baron von Sack von Mitzioff
and Baron von Leretzdn, who graced
the AkSar-Ben ball, clothed in gar
ments borrowed from admiring friends.
It speaks of the royal entertainment
given them by Omaha people, of their
pretentious claims to being officers in the
German army and" titled noblemen, and'
lastly, of the wager to walk around the
world. The Bee further states that
"the fair girls who danced with them
and whose waists wpre encircled by
their high-born arms are agitated by a
report, which, to be sure, Jacks confir
mation, but which is in its nature dis
quieting and ill-calculated to foster the
romantic dreams which are bred by in
timate association with the nobility. It
is said that the references oi the most
illustrouo barons have been looked into
with the dreadful result that they have
been discovered to be nothing less than
two mischievous and impecunious joung
men of German ancestry and American
birth, who have hit upor this ingenious
empty, and will probably remain so un
til some dear relative fills it with bis
last will and testament. There are hun
dreds of titled paupers in New York
City and Chicago, who till menial posi
tions. Rumor says that the barons
have been feasted and feted all through
the western part of this state, and that
they really have some new "swagger"
hunting suits.
These gilt-edged tramps have certain
ly conceived of a novel mode to see
America in ite different phases. It, is
somewhat doubtful, however, that any
nation but ours will extend to them the
characteristic hospitality of our people.
Whether these me; are titled or riot
does not alter the fact of their colossal
impudence in travellirg about the coun
try and working the inhabitants of it
for food and social entertainment. The
tramp makes his living by trading an a
pity for the destitute that everyone
feels. His affrontery is rewarded with a
largess that ought to be given to some
real working man temporarily out of
work. Instead of that the tramp uses
up the supply of compassion for a pen
ury he will do nothing to cure
and when the workingman out
of a job because of sickness or
hard times applies for aid he does it in
