The President shrugged his shoulders. and
asked all who Good read to step out. About
one half answered. and then he requested sich

iitly there WIS an uproar. Them ez coodent

kuowd that man wuz obliged to he able to
read to hold Office in the Dimocratic party, and
they'd never stand that, and thcy all stepped
out.
Finally it wuz decided that n election should
be held at some iucher time.

turned white. "Good Lord" whispered they.
"we cant make livin ont Nv the renainen two

The mass then demanded IA division Nv the
property, that all might start alike. but upon
takin inventory il was found not wuth while
to bother about a division.
Then they commenced murmurin, and sed
wun to another, "Oh, for tho flesh pots NV the
