Swallowed a Glass Eye.

Col, William Stilland was WELL
known politician in an adjoining
State, says an exchange, with only
one eye-that is one good eye. In
the other socket he wore glass eye.
Several years ago Col. Stilland was
stamping the State for a certain cam
didate for governor with Maj. Thorn
as Wilder, who was canvassing it
for the rival candidate. Col. Stilland
was careful to conceal his physical
infrmity from the major. When
they retired at night it was the colo
nel's custom to blow out the light,
take out his glass eye and put it in Il
mug of water by his bedside. One
night, long after the two men had
gone to bed, the colonel heard some
one feeling objects about the room,
and started up.
"It's me-" said the majors WELL
known voice and the sleepy colonel
was back at his dreams before the
speaker finished; II am almost fam
ished; I am almost famished for
drink"
Ten seconds had not passed before
the noise ola great spluttering and
coughing reused the colonel a second
time.
whats the matter?" he de-
manded.
"Bill, I've drank a bug" gasped
the major.
"Where'd you get it," yawned the
colonel,
"In that mug of water by your
bed"
"Bug, hip was the profane re-
tort. "You've drank my eye.
And the campaign amt half over
yet"
The eye was never recovered.
