Bat ALAS, The tempteT came. In
an evil hour John Cain sllOwd the
politicians TO get afseE him and to
surround him. They said he was
the strongest maa in the country;
that he could scoop out OF his boots
any man set up in opposition; that
his virtues were many and his faults
600, 600; that it was his duty to come
out aud take a nomination in order
that this pure and incorruptible
form of government be maintained
pure and incorruptible. All this
and much more they told him, and
John Cain become puffed up.
1t surprised him some to think
that he had held his peaceful way
along for forty odd years, like a
knot-hole in q barn door, without
any one having discovered what q
heap of fellow he was, but he con-
cluded that there was new era in
politics and that it was all right.
The politicians covered. John Cain
with soft soap. They told him that
the canvass shouldn't cost him, red,
and that he could still retire at oight
every evening and rest assured that
his interests would be properly cared
for. It was to be still hunt in
very quiet election, and he would
hardly know what was going on.
John was an honest, unsuspecting
idiot and he swallowed their words
a6 tue onn6ding fish absorbs the
baited hook.
John Cain was duly nominated
and the band came out aud serenad-
"a. .hixa. With 1ho band casne ont
several hundred electors, who filed
the Cain mansion to overfowing,
spit tobacco all ever the house, ate
and drank all they could find, broke
down the gate and went off with
three cheers for John Cain.
Before the canvass was ten days
old, half dozen men called on Cain
and gently limited to him that be
must come down with the "sugar."
He didn't even know what "sugar"
was until they explained. They
wanted money to raise a pole, to
buy bear, to get slirs printed, and
to do fifty other things with, oil for
his particular benefit, and he had to
hand out the money.
In the course of another week
they drew Cain out to make speech
at ward meeting. He tried to claw
off, but they told him that the op-
posing candidate would run him out
Of sight if he didn't come out, and
he went out. When he got through
speaking the crowd drank at his ex
pense, and Mr. Cain was astonished
at the way liquor went down, aud
more astonished at the way the bills
footed up. He didn't reach home
until midnight, and for the first
time in his life he was going 10 bed
with his boots on. His wife wouldn't
speak 10 hin. the hired girl left the
house 10 save her character, and
John Cain wizhsd that the politicians
had let him alone
