said Deacon Smith, as he stopped and
gazed intently at street billboard.

time. | knew it all the while. I
saw years ago that the day was COM

the stage with nothin' on over their

the Maine Stateman's Expense.
From the Chicago Herald. ~
Let me tell you little story about
jim Blaine and Frank Hatton, - said
passenger from Burlington. "A few
years agoBlaine was out inIowa mak-s
ing speeches and Hatton was then
Chairman of our State committee, and
and of course he went along with as
big man as Blaine to the various
meetings. They were on the cars one
day going to the country town to
speak at meeting, when Blaine turn
ed to Hatton and said:
AT this town we're going to | be-

Schlagle; isn't there p

used to know him down in Washing
ton county. Pennsylvania
"After Blaine aud Hatton had got,
upon the stand and while some local
orator was speaking, Hatton spoke to,
Blaine and told him where Schlagle
was standing. Blaine got up and
marched straight for the man pointed
out to him.
How are you Chris p he exc!aim-
ed, holding out his hand. i remem-s

"B-but my uame amt Schlagle,n
replied the astonished farmer; my
name is Scheimerhorn and / never

Blaine walked back to the plat
form quite discounted. Hatton said
he had made mistake, but Blaine
looked at him 10 queer sort of
way, as If to say. "I'll get even with
you yet Hatton never shed q tear
when the news came last fall that
Blaine was defeated" ga.
