One pleasant morning-it was just a
week before the election - madame
aroused at early dawnM Verdavin, who
was still sleeping soundly, not having,
indeed, returned from an exhausting
journey to the back districts until 2
a. m.
"Amedee," she cried, ''rouse yourselfI
The honor of our name has been vilely
thrust under foot and trodden in the
dust, and you must avenge it." And
she handed the unhappy man news
paper in which he read the following:
It is about time to have done with the brazen
impudence of the charlatan who is trapesing round
our streets and highways. This Verdayin, fell
low of the baser sort, seeks but seeks in vain.
to conceal his demagogic instincts. He demands
Liberty" We all know what that word means
with him. Behind it he prepares ambuscade
for property, the family, religion. This Verdavin,
dealer in votes and haunter .of low taverns, is
nothing more nor less than scalawag who has
not the courage of his incendiary opinions.
"But this is not ALL said his wife
and handed him another journal. in
which he,read:
Let the mask be torn off Our intelligent voters
will not let themselves be imposed upon by a
Tartuffe of the cutters Verdavin, a double ender
politician and perfect nulity, pretends to array
himself on the side of the cause of order It is
under such guise that the friends of despotisrn
usually do their helish work This odious being
whom we will not further pol1ute our type by
naming, has evidently been hired to eompicate
the situation by his candidacy. Let the electors
rise in their might and sweep from the field this
vain idiot.
Next morning Verdavin received q
sword thrust in the left arm from the
editor, and the day after
ward one to match in the right arm
rom the Radical editor.
At last the day of the election arriv-
I'd. Verdavin had conducted his cam
7ass with unsparing energy; his COM
dictated disorders had given him a
.orpselike appearance; he had spent

led both of his arms in sings.
But at night the project made the
mcial declaration:
ELECTED Verdavin, 23.672 votes.

he chamber of deputies. His wife,
adiant and rejoicing, was in one Of

lie arrived in the middle of debate.
Precisely at that instant vote had
cen taken, and as he reached the CEN
err of the hall, he heard the president
eclaring that. inasmuch as it was liz
rally honeycombed with fraudulent
ractices, the assembly thereby inval-
lated the election of M. Verdavin.

Nine Verdavin has brought an ac-
ION for separation and the manage
lent of her own estate. The bill al
,ges that the aforesaid Amedee YER
avin is hopelessly possessed with the
lania of political ambition.
And the public say of his wife: Poor
tile woman, it is a wonder she didn't
ring her action sooner. That con-
bundled idiot must have spent three
uarters of her fortune with his sense
