politics creates strange hallucinations. III
you doubt this you should have been
down town last evening and listened to
the remarks OF certain American sover-
eigps when they read on The bulletin
boards the results of the vote in st. Louis
convention.
When the total vote for President was
posted, one individual scanned il for
several minutes. lie was apparently IN
doubt about il.
"What does that say up there?" he
asked man who stood shoulder to
shoulder with him.
mckinley is nominated Tor Presi-
dent" was the reply.
"By how many votes?"
"McKinley has Gill;"
"Where did he get the half?'

"Well." Strengthening himself up, and
assuming what he considered "a Solomon
like expression, "If you don't know I
can tell you. Mckinley hasn't got half
vote. That fraction up there means
that he's received half of 66l votes and
that doesn't nominate him you can bet. +"
And he elbowed his way out of the
crowd to await later developments.
Speaking of developments reminds me
that they have had curious thing in
that line in the French city of Lyons. 1t
is a bicycle development.
