MR.. DEPEW'S CAMPAIGN STORY.

Washington correspondence of The Chicago Record
Mr.. Depew says the funniest incident that ever
G 1elro in his political campaigns was up in

cIatlc ticket Mr.. Depew in his speech made the
point that Mr.. Flower always holding office
and notWlt hstandinS the fact that he called him
sell business man. had occupied some official posi-
enough to vote.
WHY" exclaimed Mr.. Depew, everybody knows
that he came over with the Pilgrims in the May
flower, and that before he landed he sent ashore
the city OF NewYork, and announced himself a
candidate for Alderman before he got his natural
izatiOn papers,"
That's a d lie!" cried a farmer looking man
VINO arose in the centre of the audience Il have
known Roswell Flower all my life, and l say he
did no such thing"
Mr.. Depew for once nOnpussed He was
unable to judge in his mind whether the
farmer was trying to horse him or whether he
lacked the sense of humOr and in earnest
While the audience was enjoying a laugh at the
interruption he decided to act upon the latter
theory, and, when order restored, remarked
seriously:
II am surprised at this interruption and at the
statement honest friend made, for I've been
stamping this State for six weeks have told
that story in every speech have made, and this
Is the first time anybody had the to
tradict it. The next time see Mr.. Flower | shall
ask him to tell me the truth"

an Eastern city and rented house in Hyde Park
Mrs MeIlsh made her first downtown shopping
trip few days ago. and it rather late in the

Van Buren-st station, handed out a quarter, and
asked for ticket to Hyde Park. The agent
pushed out Is cents in change and perforated
piece of cardboard
Mrs. Mellish is careful woman. Once she heard
of a man who bought railway ticket. put it in
ms pocket without examining it, and when he got
on the train found that it would take him only
about half way to the place for which he had
started SO she has made it a practice always
to be sure that she is getting what she wants
when she buys ticket of any kind.
Here she said. after she had carefully read
what was printed upon her piece of cardboard
