Clever Door Keeper But No Room.

This is a story on'Kit Sills; A. K. Sills, of Monticello. He was a south bound passenger on the Monon the other day, and seeing a reporter for the Republican at the station he raised rhe window and called the attention of the reporter. The gatherer and chronicler of the daily happenings posed attentively beneath the window, and the poliiiciar who, it will be remembered, was elected a delegate to the republican nationaTcohvention, spoke thusly: “I’ve just been up to Chicago, seeing about the big convention, and making arrangements for accommodations, and I have got it fixed up all right; got a door keeper and a sergeant-at-aim?, and every tiling is all right; you tell all the boys that want to come to the convention that I have squared everything with the door keeper and that everything is just bully, but, the trouble is, aud here the old political war horse hesitated as though he was about at the end of his string, and then he added, “There isn’t even standing room left.” —Theliuniorof-the—enmAglemeftt-evidently didn’t appeal to Delegate Sills, until the reporter laughed and remarked that it was certainly magnanimous of him to go to the trouble of having an obliging door keeper when there was no room on the inside. Fpr ft con-artist, we will place Kit Sills against St. Peter.
