had, some how or other, learned that little
Jack, if elected, would not vote for him
for all the printing, which, of course, indu-

little Jack was determined not to be ruled
offin this way-if he could hclpit. So he
rallied his friends, and went to writing
tickets and it soon became evident that

friend Mont, also began to see shortly
that he was suspected Of being I'D
Frenchman,' by some of the managers,
and would stand no show at all. Bob
Kennedy was picked up, and.run in over
