It wa truly a representative body that gathered in the Astoria n' modest sanctum Thursday: Major Baker, Third infantry, O, X. t K. M. Baker, estima ble townsman; Frank Patton, who may be given the same distinction: Homer Davenport, J. S. Drllinger, whom a few of u know, and small in importance but ample in proportion, the writer. Of course, the gist of this effort will be cloaked about Homer, lanky, unpreten tious Homer, who years ago wasted di ver cubic inches of oxygen through the mouthpiece of a brass horn while a mem bcr of the fatuous Silrerton bra band and of late, ha found keen delislit in making really good looking people look hideous. As usual, Homer droped in precipitously, in fact, right in the middle of a conversation in which Major lin ker and the writer were participating. The light in the sanctum is good very good, a large window substitutes a wall on the further end. Spying a familiar soft hat walking up the Astoria n step (not, in the least, literal) the writer in advertently forgot Major Maker and Mr. Baker, momentarily and left hi re volving chair to greet Mr. Davenport Mr. Patton accompanied the cartoonist. Mr. iXdlinger entered and wa presented. The function was wholly different from the Mil tine of a court presentation, it was quite informal. With futile endeavor to appear hospitable there were two chairs and a stool the writed mutter 'Gentlemen, won't you be seated!" "Thanks," said Davenport, after drink ing in the situation, like the Westches- terdehlan he is, slipped the soft hat over hi right ear, leaned against the wall and rocked one foot across the other. taking especial care to see that the foot wa at a precise angle of 43 degree. Major Baker found a seat upon a desk a did Mr. Baker. Mr. Dellinger lost himself among half a hundred exchang es, Mr. Patton and the writer stood up. For a moment deadly silence reigned. All but Davenport were waiting for him to say something he has the name of being immensely humorous, and he, in turn, waited for the others to speak ''Homer was Muddy" vouchsafed the writer seriously, fearing that the car toonist might have taken offense at an eartb'ly story in the Astorian. "Just read it in a barber shop. Wa that the night Huh huh." "The night I waa leading the horse?" "Xope. You were leading a strenuous life if memory serves me." "G'wan." "Ever been here before!" queried Mr. "Well, yes. But not to stay. I used to come here on the steamers running to Portland and while they were un loading a lot of junk I strolled about "Is that all!" said Mr. Drllinger, in creduously. "By jove. bought a pair of shoe here once. Sure. Wa coming up here on steamer just after I was married. had the upper berth and my wife had the lower. The staterooms were awfully small and I had a duce of a time so did my wifetrying to lace my shoe, I had to bend all up in a knot, puff like a steam engine and after a lot of work resume my sitting posture and throw the shoe out of the berth. Well I ed this one" illustrating the throw 1 almost hitting Mr. Baker on the nose "and that g-h dingled shoe went right out of the port hole. So 1 had to come up here and buy a pair." "Fit!" interrogated someone. "For mountain cliimbing. We had cow up at Nlvrrton with a sore foot She may be wearing 'em jet for'll know". "I read in the paper," said Major Pa ker," that you had a bad fall from one of your horses." tup, assured Homer, turning his left ear to a point where all could see it. It ua covered with probably two pounds of cotton and a mixture of a for bidding color. "That horse's a dam fool," he volun teered. "Abeyan !" asked the writer, mention' ing the name of a splendid Arabian stal lion owned by Davenport. "Nope. Hullulul. He got scared at a car and threw me. Walked several yard on my esr and then they took me to the hospital. The nurse asked me if I had ever been thrown before. 1 said, 'look here! You get those pants of mine and look at the legs. You will find stitches in 'em and clean up to these here,' I pointed to the six they had just take in my ear, 'every mother's son of 'em will mean a fall from a horse.'" "Walking on your ear, eh," smiled Mr. Dellinger. "I've heard of the Hn lorn- doing that." Men, i couiunt do so well. I was walking on my left ear and had a horse on my rights hip." Davenport's abrev iated moustache stood out like bristle on a boars back, his lips parted, he smiled, the foot which had remained suspended at an angle of forty-five came to the floor and after separating hi long legs from the obstruction the car toonist sought the street, sallying as he went out: "Fine thing to run paper on the main street.
