They appealed to the young man 10

have a cigar with us" added the
spokesman, producing his cigar case.
"I am obliged to you, but I never
smoke replied the dignified Young
man.
"They thought they would jolly the
Young man out of his dignity, so the
leader produced a travelling compan-

smoke, you will not refuse to join US IN
a drink?'

of the best in his mental storehouse:
Some one had brought grog aboard
ship in goodly quantities, and large
share of the crew reported to quar-

fit condition to work the vessel. Next
morning the captain started rlglo
investigation Of the affair. The crew
was again lined up on deck and In
turn each member was catechised.

the chief petty officer, and then the
skipper would say:

brought whisky aboard ship yester-
day?'

the crew, and the officers were we'll
nigh at their wits end to know how to
get at the bottom Of the whole affair.
Suddenly there appeared a rift in the
black cloud Of mystery.

hole. came on deck, and walking up TO
the commander saluted, saying:
You have not asked me yet, cap

"a grunt of satisfaction came from
the skipper. Here at last was an non

tell all.

a POLITICAL PUZZLE.

We can readily understand how any

,pubiioan nominee for governor rather
fhan Hon. A. b. Cummins, but now
abide by the decision of the Cedar
mean things common in all anti-Cum-
Minis papers, we do not understand. MIR.
Cummins is far in advance of any can
since the campaign opened. All indica-
tons point 20 his nomination, as they
have all along. yet republican editors in
Iowa have been publishing meaner
statements about Mr.. Cummins during
the post several weeks than they did
about Fred White two and four years
ago. 1t has been commonly understood
that every person has right to be a
candidate for the Office who wants to be.
and az such he is entitled to fair treat
men by his party papers, because when
the nomination Is made every party or
gan in the state is supposed to line up
for the party nominee. But that Mr.
Cummins. man of superior ability,
personally clean and pure. should be
Waukueo its no A3s oeeH ny soiue re-
publican papers in Iowa, naturally
causes thoughtful man to believe
within himself that there is some other
objection to Mr.. Cummins than these
papers are willing to come out and
name. In other words. by this treat
mont large number of good, honest
men in the republican party have been
driven to support Mr.. cummins because
Of the abuse given him by his own party
rather than for any other reason.
