 That night four figures sat at table in Jim O'Leary's bar. Little attention was paid to the 1offee and eggs. but the bottle of "old Comfort" had frequent migrations.

1. RUJSE THAT FAILED
Showing How Hard It Defeat the Ends of Reform Municipality When They Are Properly Considered. s2y By LORENZO F. WOODRUFF, Montgomery.

The cotree and eggs of Hon. HamiI- ton Young seemed peculiarly attrac- tive to him. as he drew his chair to- ward his neat breakfast table and greeted his wife with A patronizsng air.
 The coffee and eggs seemed almost ns attractive to Mrs. Hamilton Young, to Master Hamilton Young. Jr.. and to Miss Jeanette Young as they returned the salute of the husband and father. Hamilton Young had just earned the title of Honorable. In fact. he saw his name In the Peaville Gazette for the first time as Hon. Hamilton Young. To his great qualification, His name was spread over the entire first page of the paper. which bore the welcome news to the good people of the thriv- ing Middle Western town that Hon. Hamilton Young had defeated the ma- chine candidate for Mayor of the municipality by a comfortable major fly. Of course the coffee was pecul- sarly fragrant. Naturally the eggs were unusually appetizing. The Young family was a proud family at that breakfast table. As he slipped his cof- Tee. Hon Hamilton Young considered che thought that in years to come the

But the law must be enforced they said. We'll we enforced it and they ain't got no kick coming. Whats that?'
 The three lay back and gasped. For, before their eyes lowing and scraping to the delighted audience was MT. Montclair and there were no deputy sheriffs around him. There were no handcuffs on his wrists and he show ed no sign of a struggle.
 Well I be damned" at last gasped Sheriff Pylant What do you think won't be worth two cents to them to- morrow. Laid down on us in pinch. That's what they did"

He imagined he did 1t even as magnanimously as the Congressman and as he mildly protested his un- worthiness for the honor bestowed his thoughts gave his words the lie. He almost wished that the calendar could roll backward some 1000 years and he could be Scipio and paint his face vermil1ion and ride through the streets of Peaville in a chariot with Albert Scott. the machine candidate and Jim o'Leary, who boiled the saloon vote and Abe Bodenberger, the machine manager tied to his chariot wheel. The Hon. Hamilton Young had been given his first taste political victory and to him Peaville overshadowed Gotham and Jim OLeary's machine was more portent than Tammany.
 At his office he received his cam paign manager and the minor satraps heartily but his face betrayed the as- tonishment that his words did not ex- press when Patsy McGowan, O'Leary's heeler in Precinct 6, assured him T

didate. put him on their platform and led him to the slaughter. But the ma chine had grown over-confident and one of those political upheavals that every municipality has once in half a century was due. Hamilton Young. a clean man, whose public career had been limited to the superintendency of the Methodist Sunday School and the chairmanship of the School Board, was shied into the arena by the reformers. Young was a prim little fellow with a decided tendency to starched collars. stiff white shirts, immaculate white cuffs, black neckties, Sunday school picnics and Christian Endeavor soci- ables. He had some money. less brains, a genial disposition and a conviction that something ought to be done for the municipality that had not hitherto been done. When he delivered a. cam paign speech. he was wont to announce at the outset that he was no orator and prepared his audience for an hours torment. He was good on reading sta tistics, but he was absolutely ignorant as. to oray-producers.
 But the Peaville machine, like all other machines, grew over-confdent.

 Such was the state of mind of the Hon. Hamilton Young and the family of Hon. Hamilton Young. when the Mayor-elect arose from his coffee and eggs to go down to his brokerage bus tness and receive the congratulations

 With his friends he went over the election again and again and heard tales of the political prowess of the smaller satellites related by them selves.
 The victory of Hon. Hamilton Young was really a remarkable one, notwith- standing his campaign manager said so when he handed him the expense account. The oldest inhabitant of Pea ville could not recall a single occasion on which the municipal machine had failed to dictate the result of every election. For years the affairs of the town had been manipulated by self perpetuating oligarchy.. Every two years the better element of business men and men of affairs selected can

NEW YEARS DAY.

Is a good and appropriate day for "swearing off" But we must use good pound judgment when we swear off. If you have been drinking Grain'O, Brain'O, Insane'O or some other mix ture'O. instead of good.sl nice tasting, fresh-roasted coffee, why it's time you did swear off," because there is no drink so refreshing, so bracing and So palatable or healthful as cup or two of our fresh roasted coffee in the morning. Of course, if you do not buy
 1t at our store, we cannot be held re sponsible for the quality. Then again there are other drinks which are just as injurious as Brain'0, lnsane'O or any other sweepings'O. It's the stun that undermines your health, sets your brain in whirl, so that the sidewalk isn't large enough for you and the hrst thing you know some one Of the Dlue- coated day and night street walkers has you in his clutches and the hurry up wagon relieves your feet and next morning you'll have to go down in your teens and settle or go to Jail.

If you are not using our quality. just ask your neighbor or relatives what they think of what we sell.
