convention giving demonstration for
a popular candidate. then you can
imagine what happened At this con-
vention. The organization managers
tried to suppress the demonstration.
The chairman broke his gavel pound

slightest attention to him. Little
Mac and nobody but Little Mac was
thought Of and shouted for by the con.
vention. II was as perfect a stam-

president three years hence.

For some time lay there with my

Presently an insistent scratch-r-r-r-r

The things I noticed consisted
chiefly Of Tacks, my youthful brother
