The Wrong Man

During the recent election Robinson
was a candidate for office, and fearing
defeat through the illegal voting of his
opponents henchmen he induced a
trusty friend to watch the polls in his
district and challenge any suspicious
looking voter who might present him.
self. The morning of the election dawn
ed bright and clear, and promptly at
the opening of the polls Robinson's S
friend was there, He was new hand
at the business, but nothing daunted,
he determined to let no chance of say
ing vote slip and carefully scrutinized
every man. The day wore on and he,
being stranger in the district, had
challenged some most respected citizens,
and had been frowned down and laugh
ed at considerably for his mistakes, and
thus far he had not succeeded in chal-
lenging one man who did not prove him
in error beyond a doubt. There was
little time left and he felt called upon
to do something for his friend and made
one more effort.
A tall, well-built man with a peculiar
ly seedy appearance and generally
suspicious air, staggered up to the bal
lot box to vote. Hardly had his name
been called when our friend cried in his
bravest tone, Il challenge that mans
vote" For an instant there was perfect
silence, while the challenger wanted to
crawl into q ballot-box or anywhere out
of sight. Then the trouble began. With

Beating TWo-Forty,


One evening when Lucy's Papa had
come home from the office and eaten his
supper he went into the Parlor and
Planted Himself on the sofa. After he
had been there Little While he MOTTO
ed that Lucy did not come in and Make
q Break at the piano, as was her Gus
tom. This puzzled the Old Gentleman
greatly, but he was very Happy, be-
cause the parents of gills who play the
piano usually feel like taking an AK to
that instrument. But pretty soon Lucy
entered the Room and began telling her
Papa how much she loved him, and how
Dark and CheerIess her life would be in
case he chould be Called Above.
This sort of talk made her Papa feel
rather solemn, for he had been to the
Races a good deal and would OCCASION
ally go Out With the Boys, and when p
man gets on the Shady Side of 80 he
doesn't particularly care to have people
lug the Sweet By and BY into their con-
versation. But pretty soon Lucy placed
her Lily-White Hand on her Papa 5
/ brow and began to smooth his hair, say
ing how glad it would make her if she
could only smooth the burrows of Care
that time had placed there. Then she
artfully Shifted the Subject, and spoke
of how cold the weather was getting
and what lovely Sealskin Sacques she
had seen in the store windows down
town that afteroon
Then her Papa saw what she was up
to, and Dropped on Himself. So by the
time Lucy got around to that part of
her talk where she put her arms
around his neck and kissed him, and
asked him to buy her a Sealskin, he
had nearly Arranged His Lie. He told
her of how poor the Crops had been, and
that Trade was in very dull state be-
cause of the uncertainty as to what Of
flee Ben Butler would want next, and
Sung such a Song that Lucy began to
think she was lucky to have place to
sleep in and a pair of Heavy Shoes for
the winter.
''No, my child" he said 81 cannot
think of spending Three Hundred Dol
lars for Sealskin Sacque, when times
are so Hard and Lucy said that she
was sorry she had mentioned the Subject,
and went away feeling quite sorry for
her Papa.
Soon after she had left the room her
Big Brother came in. II saw that Horse
you were talking about" he said to his
Papa.
''Did youe" asked the Old Gentle
man. ''How Fast can he go?''
"Two-thirty,' replied the Big Broth
er, and thousand dollars will buy
him"
Rising quickly from the sofa, Lucy
Papa wrote a check and handed it to
his Son. go and close the Trade to-
night" he said, land tomorrow after
noon 1 will make some of these people
that think they own Trotters look like
Hired Men"
So you see, children, that some Papas
think more of beating Two-Forty than
they do making an Only Daughter hap
