Like bits of foam on the sea. small scat tered lots of cotton came drifting into Montgomery yesterday.

A friend Of the writer recently made
application for public appointment in
a small Scottish town, and, thinking
that his chances of success would be
greater by little judicious canvass
ing. he resolved to call upon a few OF
the town councillors, in whose hands
the appointment lay. OF the civic dig
nitaries' position in private life he
knew nothing. Journeying to the town
in question, he hired cab at the rail-
way station and requested the jehu
to take him to Councillor Bisset's, the
treasurer. The councillor was found

lance than this, nyhow,' said the can
didate to himself, and, turning to the
driver, he said, "Drive me to Councillor
Maitland's Office"
The cabman thereupon drove him to
the local joiner's shop. This was
/ worse even than the smithy. and in
despair he calculated:
"Drive me to Councillor Gray's."
II am Councillor Gray. SIR, replied
the cabman.
The answer staggered the candidate.
He quietly paid his fare and disap-
Ipeared, resolved to leave his fate In
their hands without prejudicing them
