HusBcy Back On the Job-
Old Col. Bussey, who drove cab
the early days when knighthood
was in flower; who handled the wed
ding parties, the funeral parties, the
joy-riders; who ran the cab business
in Baker when the mines were work
ing full time and Baker was a gay
night town; who pulled the ribbons
over some of the best carriage horses
n the northwest has come back. Back
he has come with his upholstered cab,
his prancing steers and his old-time
pep. He is doing night service in La
Grande and is the only cab that works
at night. The old man is happy in
his calling and he sits high with his
pine poised at an aristocratic angle.
Age has not caused him to lose his
former conduct, for he is still a Ches
terfield and when he alights to open
the door of the cab one would think
he was about twenty-two yeurs. old.
A plug hat is all the Colonel needs
now to muke the rig complete, and he
is always at your service ' after the
sun pees down.
