The newly-elected mayor of an
eastern country town was about to
make his first journey in that capac-
ity through the place. The towns
people had arranged that from an
arch of flowers under which he was
to pass floral crown should hang,
surmounted by the words. "He
we'll deserves it." But the wind
blew away the crown, and when the
pompous mayor passed under the
arch, to the great joy of those who
had voted against him, only a rope
with a moose at the end of it dangled
there, with "He well deserves lit"
out in bold relief above it.
