One evening just before the leaves on
the trees began 10 turn. two young men
sat on a fence at Manton. Both were well
known and as they sat there. they talked
over matters that best suited their
tastes, but before the evening siesta was
ended politics was talked. II then
dawned upon the two young men that
they were residents OF the famous 10th
ward, but for some unknown reason. they
had always been forgotten on eIection
day. No one had ever called for them
with a carriage at noon time 10 cast their
vote ard this tact. set them TO thinking,
that perhaps there might be other young
or old men in the neighborhood, who had
also been overlooked. The two shook
hands and these made vow that they
would show the leaders OF the 10th ward
that the insult would be repented for
they would look about them. and see
how many OF the little colony at Man
ton village, had been treated ~ this
manner.
The next day they went 10 work and be-
fore the end OF the week succeeded In

secretary and treasurer Mr.. Hughes did
not want TO have so much care thrown
upon his shoulders, but the 81 barring

into the affairs OF the club and the resi-
dents at large, than any one other mem
Der.
Mr.. Hughes found plenty TO do as re-
cording secretary, but as for needing
