Dull Cne mOSI ignorant Qarkey can develop
keenness at a political bargain that disgusts
the average white candidate in search OF
votes.
Uncle Nose, who is president of the Ris
ing Sons of Liberty Lodge No. 1874, and
who also whitewashes fences and chops
wood during the season of political inactIv-
ity, took mean advantage IN the recen;
election of a too-credulous candidate.
He dropped into the Office Of prominent
candidate and was cordially welcomed. The
Rising Sons of Liberty poll fifty votes, are
well disciplined and thoroughly organized
They vote solid when they do vote, and they
vote as often as any other organization on
Galveston Island, or as often as they can
with safety; hence there was a vise-hke
frmness in the candidates grip of the Old
mans ''pickers and stealers."

The old man shook his head deprecating-
", and, producing nickel, asked:
"Kurnel, how much am a nickel wuffs1
"Ha! hal hal very good. have always
said there is more genuine humor in the
African race than in any other"
"But, ser'us, boss; how much is it wuffs''
"Five cents"
"Jess famine dat er coin, boss, en- femme
know hits cash value"
The candidate took the coin, examined it,
and returned 1t with the remark that it was
not worth any thing, as it was bad nickel

breathlessly.
"Nebber mind, boss; Use huntin' for in
formation now. S'posin' / was to tell 'em

The candidate looked worried, and again
asked the name Of the fiendish candidate
"As Noah said unto David: Thou art the

The Caucasian statesman rested bis mass
i've brow on his hand and thought and
thought.
"Hit's getting Late, and dar am q bizness

The statesman wrote in a bold, round
hand $50 on blotting pad, and pushed il
across the table. The old man took the
pencil and changed tie $50 into sos.
