A Career Ending Joke.

Il Career Ending Joke.
This is true story about one of the
mayors Of Kansas City. He was mayor
when the Incident occurred, not SO very
many years ago. Two newspaper men,
both very good friends Of the mayor,
we're about to leave town, and they
lsked Mr.. Mayor to help them cele
orate their departure.
It was hot day in summer, and aft.
er an hour or two of convivial indul.
fence the mayor Of Kansas City was
yery much under the influence of liq-
nor. The newspaper men were feeling
)ovial, but they were still able to walk
around. It finally became necessary to
10 something for the mayor. Seeing a
fruit wagon pass, one Of the newspaper
men ran out and hailed the driver.
When he drew up to the curb, he was
asked whether. or not he wanted to
make 81. He replied that he most Ger.
:ainly did. 80 7 :
It was then explained to him that a
drunken man would be stretched out in
his wagon, face toward the sky, and
hat he must drive through all the bust
hess streets of the town and then take
the man home. ! ~
Not knowing who his passenger was
to be, the driver. consented, and, the
Joke was carried out to the letter.
Through the streets of Kansas City the
mayor of the town, stretched out on an
open wagon asleep, was driven, and
there was a placard that announced the
cause Of the strange plight fastened
On the back Of the wagon. The mayor
was not reelected. Chicago Chronicle.

Alleged Taking Of a British Lager Mo-

Reported In London.
New York, Nov. 13.-Dr. Leyd's
friends, says the Berlin correspondent
of The Times, assert that a. British
laager, containing remounts for the
cavalry now on the way from England,
was captured by the Beers near Cape
Town."
The circumstance that this success
of the burghers is not known in Lon,
don, according to these informants, is
due to the fact that it is not the Gus.
tom of the British to mention the loss
of war material unattended by loss
