Mr. Bockcrheisen leaned his head upon his hand
which was supported by the bar against which they
we're standing, slowly closed one eye and murmured,
" Yah ah-ah7

said The Crosk.
" How you do Something's like dot?'
Dat amt fer me 10 say" The Croak efficiently
remarked. But dey do tell me dat dat McCaiferty
has a -rudge agn Booty an If you wants me ter ask
him drop yerc an hev talk wild ye, I'll do IT,.
Mr. Bockcrheiscn did not fail to express the salts
faction he would have in seeing Mr. McCaferfy, and
Mr. McCafcrty did not fail give him that happiness
The association sprang quickly into being, and Its
rolls soon showed d membership Of nearly 200 voters
Two copies OF the rolls TAKEN one for submission

This was in the Of tangible evidence that the
association was In actual existence In further proof
Of this important fact the association with banners
representing to be the Michael }. Booty Campaign
Club marched past the saloon OF Mr. Bockerheisen
every other night and tho next night, avoiding MI
Bockerheiscns it led in gorgeous array past the
saloon of Colonel Booty labelled the Karl Augustus
Bockerhelsen Club. As Mr.. Bockerhesen looked out
ard Colonel Boozys association and realized that
whereas Boozy planting and McCahety was
watering vet he gather the increase, High
German smile would come upon his poetic couh'e
nance and he would bite his finger nails rapturousy
And on the other hand Colonel Booty heard the
drums and flies OF the Bockerhelsen Club and saw Its
transparency glowing out in the street, he would
summon all his friends to the bar to take drink with
him. II IS said that before election day, how
ever the relations between Donnie and the Colonel
on the one hand. and between The Croak and Booker
hcI,en on the other. became painfully strained IL
Is said that Booty was compelled mortgage two OF
his houses support BockerheSen's club. and that
Eockcrhcisen's wife had 10 borrow nearly $4,000
from her brother rich brewer, before Booker

club was satisfied. Dennie acknowledged to the
Colonel couple of days before the election that ne
had found Tho Croak a hard man 10 deal with. and
that It had been vastly moro expensive To make the
arrangement than he had supposed It would be. The
Croak's manner, as have said, actually suodued
If not actually sad. and in the presence of Booker
hclsen as the election drew near, he seemed to be
so utterly -begone and discouraged that the Ger
man told his wife he hadn't the heart to quarrel with
him about having let McCafferty cost much money
BESIDES as the Colonel remarked TO Mrs Bcozy on the
nicht before election when she told him nc had let
that bad man. McCaNerty. ruin him entirely and as

warned him that that ugly looking Croak would be
calling for her watch and wedding ring neXt-as they

votes of the association? Business VIII be good in
the Board Of Aldermen next year, and can make It

Who did get the votes Of the association I'm sure
