enough to absorb the American idea

London on n visit and happening to

"lift' TO reach his office. The elevator
was one OF those excessively deliber-

A Campaign Genius

Results show that 10. 1000 girls did respond
to the plea, for Mr.. Shank won out with a
rousing majority and thus scored the most
remarkable election victory ever recorded.
Mr., Shank being a furniture dealer and
auctioneer, knows the value Of printers
ink, so having decided what oflce he would
I'LL he hied him to the newspaper offices
aud made arrangements to have himself an
nounced in every sheet in town, in big glar-
ing lines, as a candidate for county re-
corder. His fellow townsmen seeing this
on the first page Of their dailies may have
thought that ended it, but no such good
luck. Did they read the locals there was
Lew Shank; did they turn to the society
news, there he was again. II in desperation
they looked up advertisements they found
the lines interspersed by remarks such as
these:
Wanted, 10000 laboring men to support
Lew Shank for recorder"
Don't forget your old friend. Lew
Shank" and so on, ad inhnitum.
Meanwhile Mr.. Shank was stirring up
things on the street. In his store he had
unpacked from its case a resplendent solid
oak sidebosrd, and on it's shining sides was
suspended a large cardboard with the seduc-
tive announcement tndt TINS piece OF Iufnl-
ture was to be given to the person guessing
the nearest to the number Of votes received
by the successful candidate for recorder.
On all the moving vans used in deliver
ing and moving furniture large canvas signs
appeared bearing the legend, Get On the
Band Wagon and Vote for Lew Shank"
Theatergoers found their programs plenti-
fully sprinkled with the same dulcet name.
A cigar factory was subsidized and each
cigar was deeply indented with the magic
eight letters. Many of these cigars were
given to the girls Of the town TO be won by
their male friends by-well. in numerous
ways. II the man were fortunate enough to
receive a whole box Of Havanas. and many
did, he could also refresh himself by gaz-
ing upon the Sherlock Holmes III face OF

that a whole train of decisions may be sud

control and given up his original intention
to conceal his Authorizations But I do not

to the hospital at Lincoln before the

perused by the superintendent and he de-
termines II the patient is TO be admitted
there. 1t is within his power to refuse any
or all. The law gives the poor preference
over the rich at this public institution and
the acute over the chronic, but the super

tioning for his parole. Oddly enough, If a
patient escapes from an asylum and returns
to his home county, that county must bear
the expense Of returning him to the
asylum, whereas If he goes anywhere else
the institution authorities will send for
him at the expense of the state"
In the course of his conversation DR.. TIL
den severely rebuked some features of
present educational methods, saying: THE
a~lienist, or writer on insanity, might do
a very good work by ventilating the
danger of competitive examination in
educational institutions. where young per-
sons with minds OF unequal capacity and
strength are set at the same tasks and
encouraged so to strain themselves that
the weaker ones are oveTtaxed and develop
hysteria, chorea and other nervous
diseases that constitute a foundation for
mental arrangement in the future"

vAsELINE NO GOOD FOR HAIR.
Dandrun Germ Thrives in 1t, as Well
as in All Grease.

A we'll known Chicago hair specialist in
vited the Inter Ocean reporter 10 come to
his office and see, under a microscope, how
the germ that causes dandruff thrives in
vaseline. The specialist said that all hair
preparations containing grease, simply fur
nish food for the germs and help to propa-
gate them. The only way TO cure dandruh
is TO destroy the germs, and the only hair
preparation that will do that is Newbro's
Herpicide. Destroy the cause, you remove
the effect" Without dsndruf no falling
hair, no badness. Ask for HeTpicide. II is
the only destroyer Of the dandrun germ.

Omaha daily bee., 1902-12-07

Nor was this all. Mr.. Shank is an auc-
tioneer and much sought after in this ca
pacity. Should he let such a chance slip
Not he. At the psychological moment when
his audience was moved to much laughter
by his harangue and in an expansive and
open-to-conviction attitude, a hired by
stander was sure to observe in stentorian
tones that Lew Shank is a candidate for
recorder" Indeed, this fact was reiterated
so often that even the little dogs got to
know II and we're much interested in the
outcome of the campaign. Especially was
this the case with a little water spaniel
owned by a friend Of the politician in the
town, who would strut about In the most
d~ignifed manner IL asked how Lew Shank
would feel after the election; but when the
feelings OF his opponent were alluded to
would appear to expire in dreadful agony.
Business applied 10 politics was the
watchword Of his campaign. In addition,
his big voice, hearty laugh and warm hand
shake were everywhere in evidence, and
how could the Indianapolis people resist
when even their morning cake Of soap
greeted them cheerfully with Get up early
and vote for Lew Shank for recorder"
Whether to ascribe the victory 20 the ci-
gar, the chewing gum, the little water
spaniel, the band wagons or the 5000
kisses is a mooted. question in the Hoosier
city, But il is more than probable hat the
last method Of booming himself was re-
sponsible for Lew Shank election, as his
popularity in Indianapolis among the
younger social set was wide, and the very
holiness Of his request for 10. 900 kisses
contained an element Of spiciness which APP
pealed TO the hearts Of his feminine ad-
mirers.

Last fall the nomination for recorder OF

hustling for. II was his opportunity and he
made the most OF It. Then it was his
genius bloomed forth and shAd an agreeable
fragrance on the work or the campaign.
The FIRST stroke of genius was to adver-
tise for 10000 girls Ito kiss their sweet
hearts and ask them to vote for Lew
Shank" The novelty Of the announcement
in itself was SUFFICIENT TO furnish the can
didate with a large amount OF advertising.
No sooner had the posters been distributed
than the name OF Lew shank was on every
ones tongue. Young men laughed and joked
on the subject to themselves, and hundreds
Of young women. all over the town, made

sition Il involved the topic OF conversation
among their feminine friends. From a
merely humorous incident the kissing sug-
gestion ripened into a reality. Girls in In

other between suppressed giggles such sem
fences as, will you do it?" Yes, II you
will promise also?" "All right, why not
form a club and get all the girls to make
their beaux pledge themselves TO vote for
