An Administration Candidate.
Members of the cloakroom coterie
We're detailing the WOES of campaign
ing for election to congress. Judge
Shackleford Of Missouri said that the
thing his enemies used against him
most in his first campaign was that he
was the candidate OF the state admin
istration. whereupon Colonel Patrick
Henry Of Mississippi said: Il once had
q similar experience. When l went
home to campaign for my first re-elec-
tion. 1t was everywhere charged against
crowd and had helped elect Governor
McIaurin. Even some who had also
helped McLaurin. but who had turned
against him, brought the railing accu-
sati0n against me. I said to one who
was loud In abuse Of McLaurin.
Didn't you help elect him?' Yes

protest against the acts you complain

The sarkeeper's Crow.
Colonel Henry continues: "That man
was not In as good a situation as an
old woman heard of down In Missis-
sippi. 4 barkeeper had pet crow
which he kept about the saloon and
which had picked up good deal Of
profane lingo. common to such places.
which he was very fond Of rattling OF
on any and every occasion. The crow
escaped from the saloon one Saturday

preacher delivered a rousing sermon on
the good spirit and the evil spirit, de-
claring that the former appeared to
people In the shape Of beautiful. gen.
tie. innocent dove. while the latter
came In the shape of an ugly. cawing,
black crow. Just about the time he
had wrought his audience up to high
pitch Of excitement the crow from his
perch in the loft espied the water pitch
er and glass on the pulpit. These
things were all that had familiar ap-
pearance amid his new surroundings.
Being thirsty, he flew down. alighted
on the pulpit to get drink. looked up
in the preachers face and said. How
are you. you old rascal?' Preacher and
audience took to their heels. One old
lady. who had a front seat and who
was lame. was left behind. much ter
rorized by the inopportuae appearance
Of the sable bird. The crow hoped up
in front of her and said. How are you,
honey?' The old lady. thinking the
crow was mad about the sermon and
being nearly crazy herself. turned
around, struck at him with her crutch
and shrieked. .Confound you. whether
you are the devils messenger or not, l
want you to understand that ! had no
more to do with getting up this meeting
than you did" That was her way Of
