Cooley, Uncle Joe Cannon’s congressional opponent, was reminded of an Incident that happened in his home state. 4t the beginning of the hunting season, the doctor said, an nlmrod named Smith telegraphed a hotel friend in the game region for reservation, and at the appointed time he was right on the job. “Hello, Harry!” he exclaimed, saluting mine host, as he dragged his dogs and guns to the hotel veranda. “Everything all right?” “Couldn’t be better,” was the prompt response of mine host! “How about the game?” returned the sportsman, eagerly. “Are there apy quail around?” * ; "Well, I should say so!” declared mine host. “Every time the cook throws a refuse piece of toast out of the back window four or five fat quail fight to see which one shall lie down on it!”—Philadelphia Telegraph.
