BUXTON, N. D.. Aug. las my name
has been mentioned for representative
to congress, if there is no objection on
the part of an interested public, /
should like to have word to say my
self. 1t is pretty warm weather to wear
a bonnet. In fact, on account of the
extreme heat. have been going around
without any bonnet OH at all Never
thought OF such thing as wearing
one for the sake of having COLI
gressional bee make nest in it. But
greatly to my surprise, one came along
at the Grand Forks convention, when L
was bareheaded and almost bald. and
commenced buzzing in both my ears.
OF course il made inc jump little. and
some others jumped, too. For it
was an awful big bee, and
came with an unusual buzz.
Well. as the thing seemed so friendly,
and everybody else seemed to be afraid
of bees. just thought | would let it
light. and it commenced making honey
forthwith. And such honey you never
saw or tasted-out Of pure clover bios

seemed to recognize me at once as

nice, pleasant, soothing buzz. If the
rising young man has never had one of
these experiences, it is pleasanter

1t IS the intoxieation of fame
more delightful than pure wine.
When it came to me l thought l would
not be selfish. and refused to enjoy it
alone, and insisted that some of my
Democratic friends should have some of
the treat. SO expressed myself, and
retired from the footlights. This seemed
to startIe Ike Baker, partner of Senator
Powor, of Montana. On the sug-
gestlon of very near and dear political
friend and brother Democrat, l was
asked to return and 'stoop to conquer"
He whispered in my ear, "Go back and
tell Ike you Will be his servant" The
Lord seemed to direct every thing. l

found Ike did not want me for sery-

the convention were looking for

The Best Men
In the convention came to me and
offered to wade in blood if l would
