WAY TO WIN IN POLITICS

Every One Gets to Be

"The way to win in politics" Job
Hedges said once, is to keep on say
Ing something until every one gets to
believing It. 1t don't make much diff
terence what that something is. MY
office boy went to Bridgeport once on
one OF the 50-cent boat excursions. He
was late getting back to the boat, and
by the time he reached It every chair
on the desirable side Of the deck was
ailed. He thought of scheme. Have
you seen the whaler he asked those
near him. They've got whale tied
TO the dock and he's thrashing around
with his tail like anything Those he
spoke to paid no attention. So he
went on, and told the story to others.
By and by few rose and went to
see the whale. He kept on telling the
story. More went around to see the
whale. At last the fever seized every
one and they crowded to the other
side OF the boat to see the whale. My
office boy was left alone on the deck
He selected the best chair, and placed
It in the most desirable position by
the rail. The crowd didn't come back
He wriggled about uneasily. and fnal-
ly he jumped up and ran to the other
side OF the boat BY gosh. said he to
himself, I believe mebee there is a
