How Mr.. williams Went Out to Hear the
Returns.


How Mr.. Williams Went Out to Hear the
Returns.
Mr.. Williams, like good many others of his
towusmcn, announced to his wife at supper
last night that ho thought ho would go out
and hear the election news, and Mrs. Williams,
having patriotic heart, of course made no
objection. Mr.. Williams started out with good
intentions, resolving to go homo as soon as he
had learned enough TO indicate which way
things were going. lie met Smith on the way
down town, and 1t being election night, of
course they stopped in several places aud took
something, because, you know said Smith,
election uight don't come every week"
When they arrived down town they saw q
dispatch announcing that Ben Butler had
been defeated, AMI It struck both of them all
at once that they both had predicted II a long
time before, and knew IL was going 10
happen. This coincidence being some.
thing unusual, Mr.. Williams insist.
cd upon Mr.. Smiths taking something
with him, and Mr.. Smith responded by insist.
ing upon Mr.. Williams taking sOmething with
him. The dispatches began to come in rapidly,
aud, very curious to relate, in almost every
instance Mr.. Williams aud Mr.. Smith both dc.
clarcd that they had said II was going TO be
just so, and every discovery of this kind ill.,
volved mutual invitation to take something.
Mr.. Williams was not used to taking things in
such rapid succession. Toward midnight Mr..
| Williams and Mr.. Smith, locked arm in arm,
| paradcd the streets, smiling bcnGvolently urOn
| the whole world and every time the crowd
cheered, yelled vocifcrous'y, 81 told YOU
| so." Dispatches were no longer of i'm
portanco to them, and rs they were no
| longer able to read them this was for
| tunatc circumstance. They knew everything
| before It occurred. Mr.. Williams climbed up a
| lamp.post and attempted to address the crowd.
Somebody pulled his foot from its place, and
| he disappeared very suddenly. Then he and
| Mr.. Smith began mauiin discussion of poll
tics, Mr.. Smith always Ginning in with Those
er my sentiments; always told you 80" At one
o'clock in the morning Mr.. Williams was lying
| In the gutter In biisslul state of Ignorance.
When policeman shook him up, set his hat
straight upon his head, and steadied him upon
his feet, Mr.. Williams asked, who's elected p

and rolled oti crook kcdly on his uncertain pat h
home. At two o'clock Mrs. Williams was
awakened by q loud crash in her room, as II
somebody had attempted to perform
an unsuccessful feat of balancing
on the top of tho bureau. Mr.. Williams
emerging from heap of ruins, yelled Hoo,
ray" Then steadying himself at tho foot o
the bed he addressed Mrs. Williams, beginning
"Felc!tzens, lemme congrashulate you. Thi,
| is (hic) glorious occashun. HOupla Hoo
Just then Mrs. Williams leaped from the bed
and pulling Mr.. Williams down into chail
screamed "Mr. Williams, you are u drunken
