The animal seemed to know all the bad stretches of marsh and thorny bits of jungle and, as the hours passed and night drew near, without his getting a sight of his quarry, he consoled himself with the thought of what Mr. Streeter had told him: "A man is never lost in the swamp so long as he knows where he is himself." Dick knew he wouldn't starve.
I never looked for such ill luck as promotion. But we all have our troubles, haven't we, Mac?" McCrasky did not answer. He is now connected with some paper in Texas. George Streeter was in Paris, because he hoped and expected to meet Alfred Davison there.
"Well, if you'll believe it, old Streeter was so plum befuzzled he sent the man an' the axe away an' that tree's a-livin' ter-day 't is!" he finished; then, with a sudden gloom on his face, Larson added, huskily: "An' I only hope I'll be sayin' the same thing of that boy come next month at this time!" "We'll hope you will," sighed the other fervently.
Streeter told about." "I know that. The creek he spoke of must be away south of this, but this will probably take us to the Everglades, or near them. So we had better keep on till the brook gives out and then travel to the east, toting the canoe till we get to the Glades.
"Oh, we all know how modest authors are!" replied his hostess, leading him away to be introduced. Miss Neville was young and pretty, and she was evidently pleased to meet the rising young author. "I have long wanted to see you," she said, "to have a talk with you about your books." "You are very kind," said Streeter, "but perhaps we might choose something more profitable to talk about?"
In 1888, Streeter, ex-president of the Northwestern Alliance, was nominated for President on the Union Labor ticket and received 146,935 votes in 27 of the 38 States. Despite its name and some support from the Eastern workers, the new party was predominantly Western: more than half of its total vote was polled in Kansas, Texas, Missouri, and Arkansas.
Perry Larson only grinned and went on imperturbably. "Well, seein' as we both understand what he is, I'll tell ye what he DONE. He called me up ter his fence one day, big as life, an' says he, 'How's the boy? An' you could 'a' knocked me down with a feather. Streeter a-askin' how a boy was that was sick! An' he seemed ter care, too.
Harmon nodded his approval of these sentiments, while Davison said jauntily: "Oh, I don't know about that! It seems to me these things, which I suppose undoubtedly exist, should not be made important by taking much notice of them. What will you have to drink, Streeter?" "Bring me a liqueur of brandy," said Streeter to the garçon who stood ready to take the order.
Armstead's vote, while the one vote for Armstead was no doubt cast by his colleague. In the nomination of Hon. H.M. Streeter, the Democrats selected their strongest man, and the best parliamentarian on their side of the House. The refusal of the so-called Independents to vote for the Republican caucus nominee for Speaker produced a deadlock which continued for a period of several days.
Each man took his place and the pistol that was handed to him. When the word "Fire!" was given, Streeter dropped his hand to his side. Davison stood with his pistol still pointed, but he did not fire. "Why don't you shoot, George?" said Davison. Harmon, at this point, rebuked his principal, and said he must have no communication with the other except through a second.
