Ksithsburg has been in great trouble to
know what has become of poor Richard.
The storyis easily told. No enc assembled
to hear him. He stood at the window and
o,ked up and down the deserted village
Richard Is sometimes violent, but this time
his grief knew no limits. His bloated face
fell into his hands, his left knee was raised in
agony aud he yelled with all the weight of
prophecy Oh, Ch-st, we shall lose this
district, shall notbe United States Senator.
Suddenly
He started, bolted for the door,
This radical party failure bore,
And keithsburg knew him no more.
