WH. TRENCHARD DAVIS,
HOTEL MANSIONS, Hongkong, April 8, 1908.
So Boldt, having given the order, here I am again, filled with high resolve and pepsin tablets, empty of ideas; money and credit, chastened by adversity, but bravely putting on the hotel man's chief Asset-these days--a bold front.
In the light of recent events, I solemnly declare that if I had my brief, butterfly exsibence to live over again I would try and make a reputation as a silent man rather than a gubby mat
Oh, the fatal gift of gab!
It is an awful thing to allow a man to
roam at large who has a lower jaw bang on a hair trigger, liable to go off at any moment and injure innocent people, Wo have a notable example in public life. Every time he fires his of something drops. (Usually, I regret to atate, the stock of which I, at the moment, befong).
THE IDEAL YAXSIDENT,
I have heard of men who could talk the birda out of the trees. But this man (with no and of paving material in the way of good intentions) can talk the cash out of the banks, the workmen oat of the factoring, tho hoarders out of the hotels. For be it from me to kuock, but when the lion is down, old sop says every jackass can také
a kick at him, and so Isay that if I had the choosing of the next compant of the White House I would select a deaf and dumb statesman afflicted with writers' cramp..
General Grant looms large in my recol lections just now. He just smoked up, looked rise and said nothing. An ideal statesman. I don't think the present incumbent even smokes. It would be a physical impossibility, since the act of amaking involves the drawing in of the breath.
Bat it is fine the way he has soaked the plutocrats, who, like mosquitoes, roosted in the head of the body politic and sucked the blood therefrom. Suddenly the big stick descended and the mosquitoes were put to fight, but simultaneously the block was knosked off the Body Politic, and the Body Palitio, extremely groggy, is now taking the count, but hopes to get on his feet before the bell rings. ----
THE SILE LINING...
You may remember that a year ago ̈ we were all feeling pretty chipper, and that I in my remarks issued a glad note of pro- mise for the future. Well, this year I am issuing promissory notes instead. A year ago everything was booming and guests were tambling over each other in their
