WHERE HE WANTED LIGHT SHED.
Hearer of Grafton Was Interested in
Practical Subject.

1t was an open-air meeting on the
public square in the evening. There
was a large and enthusiastic crowd
present, and the principal speaker of
the evening was ready to make the eff
fort of his life. He did make it. He
showed that the opposition party had
ruined America SO times in the last
100 years, and that on Sc different oc-
casions his party had stepped in and
gathered the remains and made a new
Goddess of Liberty Of them.
He made scores OF statements. He
backed them up with statistics taken
from the family almanac.
He roared. He Grated. He stood
on his hind legs. He sawed the air
and pitied the poor millionaire. He
sawed it some more and promised
every laboring man house and lot.
Then, amidst such an outburst of en-
thusiasm as scared hens off the roost
three miles away, and woke up in
fants to cry with collie, he closed and
stood with folded arms. A thousand
men rushed to shake hands and con-
graduate him. A hump-shouldered man
led them, and ramrhed and jammed
and elbowed until he stood beside the
proud ora,or. Then he held cut a toll
hardened hand and said:
Say, mister, that was a darned
good speech of yours, but you didn't
say whether the price OF turnips was
goin' to be up or down this fall. I've
got load out here, and I'd like to
know"
