CTS TELL H GIRLS WHY.
EXPLAIN THE OONSEcRlTED CAN
DIDhTE'S RUSH TO DEFEAT.


Three OF the good little boys who conducted
the recent campaign OF the Gifts spoke their new
pieces yesterday morning. Before the election
these good children know ever 30 many nice
pieces. which they gladly recitcd whenever they
could get anybody to listen to them. A Tora-
cious animal, however. colloquialy known asa
tiger. chewed these oRusions into small bits and
swallowed them with a grin.
Now,the good little boys had become SO much In
love with the sound OF their " piping That they
forthwith set to work to write some more pieces,
and 1t was three Of these new productions which
were tried yesterday on the women OF tho
League FOR Political Education. The Cts who
made their prottiest bows yestermorn were
Joems Woynolds. Francis Laimbeer. and Alfred
ConkiinR. Thoir curis were properly but Variousiy
arranged; their new long trousers gave them
quite q grown.up air: and their faces shono with
soap and JOY. Mr.. Laimbeer. who Is tho Assem-
blyman'elect from the Twenty-soventh district,
had been specially invited to speak. The Others
had not. But when MT. Conkling, who wanted
to DO an Assemhlyman-elect, but isn't. whispered
sadly:
FRANKIE, 1 know o piece, too" Mr.. Lain
beer generously lot him speak It.
All three OF these productions bore the title,
Lessons OF the Campaign The title was tho
