It is an old story says the Denver Record, of the two cowboys from Arizona who were taking their first meal at the Windsor. One who had a few of the advantages of life, helped himself to the celery, Vv^hen the other clutched him by the arm and whispered: “My God! Bill, don’t give us away by eating the bouquet.”
