"Since was child" remarked IL sad
eyed man. as he glided into the CLoRG
Office few evenings ago and sank yearly
into the religious editors chair Il have -
ways been taught that all Republca We. q
models OF all that was good and bright.
My father was Republican and ;ways
voted the straight ticket, and so / 1turaii y
supposed that all Republicans were gentle
men like him. Well, you know The Re-
publican caucuses were held last Monday
night, and, after l had voted in my pre-
7 c.nct and saw the whole thing pass off very
tremendously, l went over to the first pre-
cinct of the Sixth ward, where some fifty
Republicans were endeavoring to cleo dele
gates. 1t took some time to convince me
the men were not lighting, as nearly all that
| were swearing and bowling round at a
! great rate. l soon as | got inin the room
| meandered back near table rad watched
| Developments. A chairman was nominated
after long wrangle. No one seemed TO
know just how to proceed, and. until a
| thin man with maroon whiskers moved
! that the convention proceed to elect dele
! gates, the scene resembled the floor of a
| stock exchange. Some four or five tickets
| were in the field, and after the tellers had
! finished counting the ballots it was found
/ that one mans name had been on two diff
! ferent tickets and that he was elected, and
! four others had received enough votes to
| elect them also. At this point one OF the
delegates withdrew his name, This set the
| opposing faction Wild and cries for another
| ballot were mingled with yells to let it
alone, while motions to adjourn came pour
ing in. In second all was confusion. The
chairman jumped On the table and called
! for order. He might as well have tried to

Wicklund, the delegates that had been
| elected, did not want new ballot, and
stated so in very emphatic manner. They
| crowded around him, shook their fists in
his face. and some even laid their hands ON
his coat. Then cries skill him" throw
| him out the window" Lynch him." and
! other expressions calculated to make a
man feel cheerful rang through the build

| mans mind brick came crashing in, and,
| striking the lamp, knocked that useful arti-
Gle into little bits. The chairman then
called for the police to protect him.
Another vote was finally TAKEN and four
| new delegates were elected amid the jeers
and threats of the men elected first. The
caucus broke up in wild disorder. If that
had occurred at d Democratic caucus how
the Republican press would have howled."

This practice on the part of young boys
of reading blood and thunder stories is ruin
ing more of them than most people think.
Why, l know of a number of cases where
lads OF from 8 to Is have run away from
home after filling up on such stuff. It fires
their imagination and causes them to think
