BILL ARF'S LETTER
I'll EACH ES A LITTLE
s r. j: .lo.v os d$a th.
isit to Memphis aiid the Sad
Uvtionn Vailed io Memorg
.nlm. He talks of Hotel
I.l-j'
In ni.uiv respects Memphis is
th. must attractive city I Lave
evv-r visited. It is hih and dry
ant well laid off. The business
lion. '--a are models of modern
architecture and the residences
nr lovely and inviting. Hun
dreds of these have been estabt
1 i r 1 1 e (1 within the . last three
ye-irs and tha population is
-(iii rapidly increasing. There
are seventy-live thousand now
ami they confidently icount on
anin Idition of ten per cent., per
an'.n.i.i. Until recently men
with families hesitated about
, loVating in Memphis for the
i!it ni'iry of the awful pestilence
oi' '7S still lit-gered, but never
di' l a people hedije and ditch
an V lrain and fortify against
th" .return of the dread monster
these have done. Her sewer-
a-e and, artesian water and Ken
eial sanitary arrangement- now
purpass any city in the souh,
and there is the mighty river,
the father '-of waters.l that" re
ceives ond bears everything
away that is noxious -jor pesti
lential. What a feast, what a
i luxury of thoaghi. anJ. emotion
it is to stand unon the) bluff and
survey the sceue. By day and
by iiiht I have enjpyed it and
my pleasure was ouly marred
by my loneliness, thej absence
of the dear ones at home, whose
presence, wduld have i added a
double charm to what nature
ami rt have done. The inov
i: ir of the wide waters so slow,
p'.i r.'rund. so ditrnlfied. i.the sun-
'jiL'ht'daiicing upon tne glassy
calm and serene, bjit it is hard
work. The waiters are so
abundantly polite i and genteel j
that I am afraid they will find
out that I am country fled.. They
wear , swallow-tail regulation
coats just like the fashionable
men at a iancy dress ball. ' , I
never see anybody wear those
coats except the colored waiters
in a hotel andjthe fine; geutle
men who sling the light fantas
tic toe in a ball roomand aa I
am not familiar with those oc
cupations, I still go about in
my usual clothesr The bills or
fare always bother ;nie. dome
things I can make out, and so I
always get enough, but I don t
like to pay three of four dol
lars a day for all the fine vittles
thai other folks get, and I can't
pronounce or call for, and don'
know what kind of a new
fancied thing it is no how.
Now what in the name of Epl
curas, is "uenu," the first thing
on the list. It come? just ahead
of the foup, and I reckon it is a
kind of appetizer , to make a
man feel hungry whether he is
or not, though most people get
that at the bar. And then after
soup comes hachis & la Creole.
Is that our common hash or the
Chinese hashees, or; a mixture
of both ? 1 I reckon it is some
thing yaller.. Then there was
spaulietti, and I . had to skip
that, tor I was dubious about
it. Then there was cracked
wheat porridge . and barley
mush and oiktmeal porridge,
but as I wasent sick I let them
all suae. 1 hey rare: lor poor
folks, anyhow.. Chen there was
fried uiantaise and nivernaise,
which I' suppose was "injun,"
though they dideu't have any
counehanyj which is injun, too,
A NERVY E2IT0I
Bstermined That .his Eshtsnca
."Shall Not be Ignored
There is no use of attempting to
disguise the fact that certain rings
and factions in this gulch have for
the last three mootht made desper
ate attempts to ignore the exis
teoce'of the. Kicker. Having failed
to frighten or bribe us o tractsm
wag their little game. Thev deter
ujined to freeze us out. W", first be
came avrare of this movement
three month ago when Mrs. Judg!
GUdersleeve gave her blowout. At
that time we received the .follow
ing caul: ' ' v
'- ''A!l gentitmeu attending tbis re
ception will be exj ected to wear a
white shirr." .
The inference was ?s plain as the
pimples on Mrs GiUlerMe'Ve"s nose.
They thought we hadn't a while
hirt. They thought we would at
tend with an army blanket thrown
carelessly over our shoulders. The
object was to let ns know that Mrs.
Gildersleeve didn't loos njioa as as
knowing what belonged to good
manners. It was all right. We did
not go. As to whether the Gilder
sleeve ring came out ahead opin
ions differ. Oar accoun'-of'the par
ty headed "Gathering of the Yul
turet," is still going the roui'd.- of
the press. In that article we proved
Judge Gildersleeve to be an embez
zler and aliors ttnef. and we ad
duced positive proof that Mis.
Judge was a broken down aud
piajed out fortune teller who had
been compelled to skip from. Sri
Louis.iTbe Judge called at the
Kicfcer office the next day with a
shot gun, but whenwe brought out
more letters proots r.teit he had
srved time in three prisons and
that Mrs. Judge still had the work

rived m Arizona the Judge did
not shoot.
