a very popular young mau, but not
withstandlng he wears blue clothes

doesn't like the army uniform, nor
does he have any special love or affec.

brief, it is Williams opinion that the
soldier will not do. He has had ex-
%perience, he says, and knows whereof

The politician is my shepherd; l
shall not want any good thing during
the campaign. He leadeth me into the
saloon for my votes sake. He tilleth
my pockets with fine cigars and my
beer glass runneth oyer. He enquireth
concerning the health of my family,
ever to the fourth generation. Yea,
though | walk through the mud and
rain to vote for him and shout myself
hoarse, when he is. elected he straight
way forgetteth me. Yea, though l
meet him in his own Office, he knoweth
me not. Surely the wool has been
pulled owe my eyes all the days of
my life, -EGchange.
