Then some scintfllating genius
among the brethren suggests that an
Injunction be obtained from some per-
fectly unbiased" Judge A descent
is made upon the courts, perfectly
unbiased" and complaisant jurist is
picked out, who issues an Injunction,
and the ..four-flushers'' gather to offer
up thanks. An appeal being taken
from his ruling, the state court, or the
supreme court of the United States,
hands down an opinion that the "un-
biased" judge is an Ass, or words to
that effect, and the Injunction is dis
solved.
Thereupon the "four-fushers" hold
additional meetings in which they de-
nounce the supreme courts, and, as
soon as a new set of authorities come
into power, resume the old bluff" of
asking that the business which they
do not like be suppressed

the others at the card table and there
by rake down the pot But it does
not always work.
In politics 1 have seen enormous
quantities of "four-fiushing" INDUCED
in; and in fact about two-f1fths of all
politics is "four-f1ushing."
In the various angles of the political
game there may be counter -four
flushing" or pracdcing the art on
both sides. or if there are four or FIVE
candidates in the field, there may be
only one candidate who really stands
any show of election, and a quartette
of four-fiushers" gaily bringing up
the rear. The also rams" have entered
the race for various reasons. Some
of them get little notoriety, some of
them to try their political strength,
and others for the purpose of leading
forlorn hope against the probable
winner.
1 recollect particularly one of this
kind He was always going to do
great things. And he would demon
strate by verbal mathematics just how
1t was ''cinch" that he had the ward
tied up as tight as a snare drum All
suggestions that he might possibly be
mistaken were either pooh-poohed
away, or you were given to under
stand that you were dead nutty."
This gentleman would keep on swell
ing until the morning after election
and then he would disappear for a few
days. When he reappeared. with his
ward knocked ''galley-west'' in the
election, and about 80 per cent of his
predictions gone wrong, he would still
have that old .'bluffy" walk on him.
and would be cabling triumphantly
about some precinct that had gone his
way, and explaining how they would
have all went the same way if bill
Botsford" or Joe Summons" or "Pete
Highbalf' had stuck The only Of
fensive thing about this Holsters atti-
tude was that he assumed that some
one was going to believe him. He was
per Sc stiff" as such cattle are
termed in politics, and a laughing
stock among seasoned politicians. but
he went about imagining that he was
real factor in politics, when he could
scarcely control his own vote.
You know how that is, Mac" he
would go on. THE people out there
feel that way, and that's the way they
feel all over the city. It's strange to
me that some one hasn't pointed it out
to the mayor. If something isn't done
wen lose out election day Such a
comparatively small thing, too. 1t
don't make any differences to me per-
sonally, for 1 don't care. But L don't
want to see our boys lose Somebody
ought to see his honor about it I'm

stronger of the two "a" finances the
nomination of an independent" can
didate, or a Prohibition, Labor-Socia1-
ist, or any old candidate whom he may
think will weaken BIS" chances. If
B" thinks the move will weaken him,
he may up with an Independent can
didate of "As" party stripe, and pay
his expenses to cut into LAS" vote
All this is ..four-hushing' to make
the voters believe there are four or
i've Richmonds in the field" when, in
fact, "A" and b. are the only real
figures in the contest, and the extra
candidates are fakes" And the
beauty about it is that these ..inde-
pendent or other campaigns are often
waged valiantly and a tremendous
amount of dust and excitement kicked
up about them.
Reform is prolific source of polfti-
cal four-fiushing." Take some bust
ness which offends certain of the more
puritanically inclined citizens. This
business may be regularly licensed
and declared legal, and there may be
constitutional grounds which, until a
change in the constitution, would abb

Body Raw with Eczema-Discharoe

From the age of three months until
fifteen years old. my son Owens life
was made intolerable by eczema In its
worst form. In spite Of treatments the
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part Of his body was quite raw.
He used to tear himself dreadfully in
his sleep and the agony he went
through is quite beyond words. The
regimental doctor pronounced the case
hopeless. We had him in hospitals
four times and he was pronounced one
of the worst cases ever admitted
From each he was discharged as in
durable. We kept trying remedy
after remedy. but had gotten almost
past hoping for a cure. Six months
ago we purchased a set of Cuticura
Remedies. The result was truly mar
velous and to-day he is perfectly cured.
