PERFECTLY FAMILIAR TO HIM

Reason Why Carney Refused to Enthuse Over the Giories of That Particular Subject. “Andy” Roban, the detective-lieuten-ant, wit and good fellow, in his lifetime originated many stories of nis quaint fellow-countrymen. He told this one about his good friend, Carney: “A visitor 4 to the city was struck by the beautiful sunset reflected on Lake Michigan, and, as long as he bought drinks, Carney listened to his ravings about the glories of nature. The stranger went on in words of color and elegant eloquence, but forgot* to buy another. ‘Ah —you should have seen that sunset,’ he said, half closing his eyes and mooning. ’Go on,' said Carney. ‘You can’t tell me anything about that sunset. The sun sets only about a mile from where I live.*" Chicago Herald.
