HE KNEW HOW TO PICK THEM, Tammany Man's Double-Barreled Compliment Com-pliment Did Away with Thought of Hostilities. The orchestra was playing loudly In one of the restaurants in Denver, Col., during the Democratic national convention, con-vention, and the diners were talking loudly so they might hear and be heard. At one table sat a beautiful woman and her escort and at the next table a number of Tammany men. Suddenly the orchestra stopped, bing! and a Tammany man's voice Tang out: "By George, that's a good looking woman! I'd like to meet her." The man at the next table, who was with the lady came. over, tapped the Tammany man on the shoulder and said .frigidly: "Sir, that lady is my wife." "Shake." said the Tammany man; "I am glad to meet you. You certainly are a good picker." And hostilities were averted. Saturday Sat-urday Evening Post.
