tral railway station. She had come by
canoe, of course. This was unfortun-
ate for me, because she was in an
ugly mood after having had to por-
tage the last 25 miles. But, being a
good Indian, she smiled broadly (I
immediately began polishing her
teeth, for that's a good asset even in
East Lansing).
Let me shift the scene. The Gover-
nor was arriving at Ann Arbor on
the Michigan Central. His secretary,
a Mr. Blooey, whom I later did not
consider worthwhile enough even to
slap on the back, was saying softly to
himself, "Blooey for Governor. Bloo-
ey for Governor. Blooey for Gover-
nor. Blooey for Gov . . . ."
"What's that," Mr. Comstock de-
manded.
"Nothing, sir," Blooey answered. "I
didn't say a thing."
"You did too," the Governor said.
"You said 'Gilhooly for Governor,'
and you're fired." Whereupon the
Governor threw him out the window.
I learned about all this later when I
came to know George, the porter, very
well (I always gave George a dime
and a slap on the back, which was as
satisfactory as a fifty-cent tip to him.
Mazie and I were just to the tracks
when Blooey came sailing out the
window. He fortunately lit on his feet
(if I were the ordinary man I would
have said "head," for I actually have
no idea where he landed). Mazie, be-
ing a good Indian, became a good
I Samaritan, which was a good thing.

Social Chairmen !
We still have a few bookings open for
Saturday night house parties. If you
forgot to call us, Do It Now!
When they were on the best of terms,
which was in a few minutes, she in-
troduced us. Very quickly I said,
"Blooey. B-1-o-o-e-y. Right, isn't
it?" He said yes, and I ran into the
station and wrote it 35 times on the
station manager's blackboard.
Then my break came and I pounced
on it. The Governor came in looking
for Blooey. He, like all great men,
wanted to do justice. "Where can I
find Blooey?" he shouted.
"Right out here, Bill (for this was
my opportunity)," I said excitedly.
"Don't be so formal, young man,"
he said. "Call me Cuddles."
"O.K., Cuddles," I shouted as I ran
out the door.
Mr. Blooey brought Mazie in and
introduced her to the Governor, who,
in making up to Blooey, agreed with
Blooey that she was a good Indian.
Then Blooey turned to me and said,
"This is Mr. Knegle, or Knappie, or
what is your name, anyway?" This
is where I got a bad opinion of him.
"It's Carnegie - C-a-r-n-e-g-i-e,
Hale, and I already know Cuddles
anyway."
I didn't know the Governor by his
first name that night at the Hop, but
I was the only one on the floor who
called him Cuddles.
